“…In addition, although this is not among the central questions that we sought to address in the present examination, we also identified a transactional pattern for the positive association between maternal WFC and psychological distress over time. This is in line with prior research (Demerouti et al, 2004; Westrupp et al, 2016; Yucel & Borgmann, 2021). As noted already, mothers experiencing high levels of WFC tend to be at heightened risk of developing depressive symptoms possibly due to various mechanisms such as depleted personal self‐maintenance resources as well as damaged self‐image (Cooklin et al, 2016; Frone, 2000).…”

“…As noted already, mothers experiencing high levels of WFC tend to be at heightened risk of developing depressive symptoms possibly due to various mechanisms such as depleted personal self‐maintenance resources as well as damaged self‐image (Cooklin et al, 2016; Frone, 2000). Prior research has also suggested that employees' affective problems hold adverse implications for their work choices, reactions to work events, and work attitudes and thus contribute to their experiences of work–family conflicts (Demerouti et al, 2004; Yucel & Borgmann, 2021). Thus, in future research, it will be important to specify the factors that can effectively break such vicious circles.…”

“…Given that family roles represent core components of adult identity, limited abilities or even failures in fulfilling family role expectations disrupt family‐related identity formation and maintenance, which is likely to be experienced as stressful and result in declines in psychological well‐being, including increased depressive symptoms. Prior research has also suggested that work–family conflicts and psychological distress are bidirectionally associated with each other over time because an employee's psychological health status can also shape their work choices and decisions, reactions to work events, and work attitudes and experiences (Demerouti et al, 2004; Yucel & Borgmann, 2021). Such reciprocal associations are not confined to one period of parenting but likely continue well across life periods as children grow older (e.g., Westrupp et al, 2016).…”

ObjectiveThe goal of this work was to examine the potential implications of mothers' work‐to‐family conflict (WFC) for their sensitivity and provision of learning opportunities in parenting from infancy through middle childhood, with maternal depressive symptoms tested as a possible mediator.BackgroundTo inform practice more effectively, researchers need to delineate the temporal dynamics for maternal experiences of work–family interface and also elucidate their dynamic implications for parenting over the family life course.MethodFive‐wave, cross‐lagged panel models with mediators were tested using data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (NICHD SECCYD).ResultsAlthough little evidence was obtained with respect to the direct links, several indirect effect cascades were identified, such that WFC at an earlier wave was associated with compromised parental functioning at a later wave via increases in depressive symptoms at a middle wave, regardless of child development periods and parenting domains and being net of extensive covariates. In addition, a transactional pattern emerged for the positive link between maternal WFC and mental distress over time. A large set of supplementary analyses were also conducted to test the robustness of the identified effects and to address potential moderating roles of some key covariates (e.g., child temperament difficulty).ConclusionSuch findings highlight the importance of illuminating the temporal dynamics for the link between maternal experiences of work–family interface and parenting from a life course perspective.ImplicationsIrrespective of child development periods and parenting domains, interventions targeted at facilitating mothers' navigation of work–family challenges as well as improving their psychological well‐being appear to be ultimately beneficial for their parental role functioning.

“…The findings of this study would help marketing experts, academicians and practitioners in different fields. The studies done in the past were based on FCP and choice of resolution strategy (Jennings et al , 2018; Yucel and Borgmann, 2022), but this study differentiates stepfamilies from biological families. The current study revealed significant and considerable differences between step and biological families regarding FCP and adopting conflict resolution strategies.…”

“…Nowadays, they have more power in biological families than in stepfamilies (Jennings et al , 2018). With the emergence of dual-earner families and single-parent families gives them more independence in the decision-making process (Yucel and Borgmann, 2022). Adolescents provide information, so they are no more submissive to parental choices.…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effect of parent–adolescent conflict in step versus biological families on family communication patterns (FCPs) and the conflict resolution strategy adopted by adolescents during family destinations or holiday planning (where to visit?). Design/methodology/approach The literature on family conflict (i.e. parent–adolescent conflict) and the different types of families (step vs nuclear) supported the proposed framework. The survey was conducted in the Indian subcontinent with a sample size of 437 adolescents. SPSS 22.0 was used for factor analysis (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis) and structural equation modelling was used through AMOS 26.0 for data analysis. Findings Significant relationship was observed between the types of families (step and biological), FCP and the resolution strategy chosen by Indian adolescents. Adopting a resolution strategy by adolescents in both families depends on the type of FCP in the family. Adolescents in stepfamilies have socio-oriented FCP and use “positive problem-solving” and “conflict withdrawal” as a resolution strategy. In contrast, adolescents in biological families have concept-oriented families and use “conflict enhancement” as a resolution strategy. It has also been found that adolescents who fall into high-stress categories used conflict enhancement strategies. In contrast, those who fall under low-stress categories used positive problem-solving and withdrawal strategies. Practical implications This study will add a new chapter to adolescents’ decision-making literature in line with the previous research. It has practical implications for tourism marketers, academicians/researchers and policymakers. Marketers can segment adolescents into step versus biological families, and the choice of resolution strategies may introduce efficient and competent marketing strategies and promotional campaigns. Originality/value This study favours that family type is a robust construct to predict adolescents’ choice of resolution strategy. So, it is one of the most influential variables in adolescents’ resolution strategy adoption.
