Having a large social network of relatives and friends, however, might buffer the effects of childhood maltreatment on parents. This prediction was examined using prospective data from the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk Adaptation (N = 173). Early childhood maltreatment was assessed prospectively at ages 0 - 5. Socioemotional competence during middle childhood and adolescence (ages 5 - 16) was assessed via teacher reports. Adult parenting was assessed using a semi-structured interview at age 32 (N = 106) and dyadic parent-child observations at various ages (N = 85). At age 32, participants also wrote the names of friends and relatives in their inner, middle, and outer social circles. In a moderated mediation analysis, childhood maltreatment forecasted low socioemotional competence, which in turn predicted more negative parental orientations (greater hostility and lower emotional connectedness and involvement) and lower observed parental support in adulthood. However, having a large social network and having friends in one’s inner circle buffered this effect. These results highlight the significance of social networks in supporting parents who were maltreated in childhood, and primarily the importance of close friends.

The effects of childhood unpredictability and harshness on emotional control and relationship quality: A life history perspective / Ohad SZEPSENWOL in Development and Psychopathology, 34-2 (May 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 34-2 (May 2022) . - 607-620 Titre : The effects of childhood unpredictability and harshness on emotional control and relationship quality: A life history perspective Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ohad SZEPSENWOL, Auteur ; Jeffry A. SIMPSON, Auteur ; Vladas GRISKEVICIUS, Auteur ; Osnat ZAMIR, Auteur ; Ethan S. YOUNG, Auteur ; Anat SHOSHANI, Auteur ; Guy DORON, Auteur Article en page(s) : 607-620 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : attachment  childhood unpredictability  emotion regulation  life history theory  romantic relationships Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Being able to control oneself in emotionally upsetting situations is essential for good relationship functioning. According to life history theory, childhood exposure to harshness and unpredictability should forecast diminished emotional control and lower relationship quality. We examined this in three studies. In Studies 1 and 2, greater childhood unpredictability (frequent financial, residential, and familial changes), but not harshness (low SES), was associated with lower emotional control in adolescents (N = 1041) and adults (N = 327). These effects were stronger during the participants? reproductive years. Moreover, in Study 2, greater childhood unpredictability was indirectly associated with lower relationship quality through lower emotional control. In study 3, we leveraged the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk and Adaptation (N = 160). Greater early-life unpredictability (ages 0 4) prospectively predicted lower relationship quality at age 32 via lower emotional control at the same age. This relation was serially mediated by less supportive observed early maternal care (ages 1.5 3.5) and insecure attachment representations (ages 19 and 26). Early unpredictability also predicted greater observed emotional distress during conflict interactions with romantic partners (ages 19 36). These findings point to the role of emotional control in mediating the effects of unpredictable childhood environments on relationship functioning in adulthood.
