Do you still find me physically attractive? Partners’ daily perceptions of attractiveness during the transition to parenthood Journal of Social and Personal Relationships (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-09-19 Rachel S. Blickman, Marci E. J. Gleason, Lisa A. Neff
The transition to parenthood is characterized by physical changes and altered sexual dynamics that may be associated with a tendency for new parents to underestimate their partner’s physical attraction to them and/or be more attuned to daily changes in their partner’s attraction. To examine this possibility, this study assessed directional bias and tracking accuracy in new parents’ perceptions of their

Adolescent mindfulness may buffer the longitudinal effect of parental work-family conflict and interparental conflict on adolescent affiliation with deviant peers Journal of Social and Personal Relationships (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-09-17 Mingzhong Wang, Jing Wang
Parental work-family conflict undermines family functioning, which in turn may impair children’s peer functioning. Using a longitudinal design spanning across 2 years, the present study examined whether paternal/maternal work-family conflict could predict interparental conflict and, in turn, whether such conflict contributed to adolescent affiliation with deviant peers. Additionally, this study also

Does sibling differentiation promote relational harmony or discord? Evidence from a longitudinal dyadic study Journal of Social and Personal Relationships (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-08-23 Weimiao Zhou, Leslie A. Page, Sarfaraz Serang, Shawn D. Whiteman
Sibling differentiation (or deidentification) is theoretically posited as a mechanism that reduces competition and comparison between siblings and thus fosters sibling harmony (i.e., more positivity and less negativity). Empirical research, however, reveals inconsistent findings regarding the links between sibling differentiation and youths’ sibling relationship qualities. The present study utilized

“It’s someone who means a lot to me, and who means even more to mom”: Children’s views on the romantic partners of their polyamorous parents Journal of Social and Personal Relationships (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-08-08 Milaine Alarie, Morag Bosom, Isabel Côté
Polyamory is a relationship style that allows individuals to develop multiple romantic relationships simultaneously. Although studies show that many polyamorous people have children, very little is known about the experiences of children growing up in such a family context. Based on 18 semi-structured interviews with Canadian children living with polyamorous parents, we examined the level of emotional

Deletion, departure, death: Experiences of AI companion loss Journal of Social and Personal Relationships (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-08-02 Jaime Banks
Social machines’ human-likeness facilitates relationship formation with humans. This aliveness, though, leaves room for people to experience the loss of machines as a death of sorts. This descriptive study illuminates that potential by identifying dimensions of humans’ experiences when an AI companion stops functioning. In the days before and after the developer-induced shutdown of the AI companion

Changing for the worse: The effects of attachment anxiety on perceived self-adulteration Journal of Social and Personal Relationships (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-07-23 Abigail J. Caselli, Laura V. Machia, Emily T. Beauparlant
In romantic relationships, people’s self-concepts (i.e., a person’s conceptualization of themselves) change. They expand to incorporate partners’ characteristics and contract to eliminate no longer relevant self-characteristics. This process is a sign that a couple is growing closer and is associated with positive outcomes. However, not all incorporated characteristics are positive. Some individuals

The role of parental illicit substance use and interparental conflict frequency on children’s externalizing behaviors over time Journal of Social and Personal Relationships (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-07-18 H. Cailyn Ratliff, Jeremy B. Kanter
Parental illicit substance use is associated with increases in both interparental conflict frequency and children’s externalizing behaviors. There is a paucity of research examining the pathways linking these constructs. Assessing parental illicit substance use and interparental conflict frequency simultaneously can illustrate a process that potentially undermines children’s behavioral adjustment.

Theoretical and empirical research indicates that insecure attachment with parents may function as a mediator between aversive parenting and adolescent depression. However, no longitudinal research has differentiated the roles of internal representations of parental attachment, especially the roles of the two internal working models (i.e., the self-model and the other model) in the longitudinal relation

Are there cross-cultural differences in the transformation of motivation process in close relationships? Journal of Social and Personal Relationships (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-05-22 Po-Heng Chen, Phakkanun Chittam, Hannah C. Williamson
When faced with an undesirable behavior by one’s partner, theories of relationship maintenance indicate that individuals must undergo a transformation of motivation in order to set aside their initial impulse to respond in a self-centered manner, and instead choose to respond in a pro-relationship manner. However, the cultural psychology literature indicates that a primary focus on one’s own needs
