Female adult incest victims differing in history of alcoholism were compared to an alcoholism-only and a no incest/no alcoholism group on dimensions of temperament, psychological adjustment, and self-esteem. Incest victims with histories of alcoholism were more alienated and withdrawn, less rhythmical in their daily behavior, and evidenced lower self-esteem, more negative mood, greater social nonconformity, and more emotional discomfort than women in the other three groups. Women in the no incest/no alcohol group showed the best self-esteem and psychological adjustment and were generally more positive in the expression of various temperamental characteristics. The findings also suggested an association between incestuous victimization and an alcoholic family of origin.

Abstract Intending to contribute to the marital violence theme, this article has the objective to investigate the presence of physical violence suffered and committed by men in family relationships and the predictive power of family of origin experiences on this occurrence in a sample of 186 men. A sociodemographic questionnaire, Family Background Questionnaire (FBQ) and Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2) were used to collect the data. Physical violence suffered and committed by men established significant correlations with experiences of violence in the family of origin. The predictive factor for the occurrence was the experience of parental physical abuse in childhood. We discuss the relevance of a focus of attention on men also as victims of marital violence and the relevance of understanding the role of family of origin for the maintenance of violence in future relations.

Curve Modeling

The present study evaluates longitudinal trajectories of adult romantic attachment during adulthood using latent growth curve modeling. We also tested how observed family interactions were related to trajectories of attachment-related anxiety and avoidance from ages 25 to 31 years (on average). Stability coefficients for attachment variables across 6 years were around .50. Growth modeling results suggested that people tend to become less anxious as they mature into adulthood and that there were individual differences in changes during this period. Although family interaction quality in the adolescent years predicted levels of romantic attachment anxiety and avoidance in young adulthood, this association did not extend to changes in attachment between the ages of 25–31 years. Overall, it seems that attachment variables demonstrate some degree of consistency over time even as the average trend is for declines in anxiety. Moreover, adolescent interactions with parents were not strong predictors of changes in attachment during adulthood. This is consistent with the view that family relationships during adolescence are associated more strongly with the stable components of attachment rather than dynamic aspects in adulthood.

The Family

Family conflict is a well-documented causal factor in the international literature on youth homelessness. Less is known about how childhood experiences within family of origin contribute to first homelessness among Australian lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) young people. In this article, which draws on an analysis of the Australian Journeys Home survey, we argue that homelessness risk among LGB young people is cumulative and stems from multiple childhood disadvantages. LGB respondents were more likely than their heterosexual peers to report leaving home in the early teens. They were also more likely to have experienced conflict, abuse and deprivation in their families of origin, including: the threat of harm from someone within the family home environment; a lack of adequate food and shelter during childhood; high levels of childhood sexual abuse; and early experience of parental divorce. We discuss the implications of these findings for future LGBTQ+ research agendas.

BackgroundFamily relationships in the transition from childhood to adult life may be important mediators of risk and resilience for adult psychopathology.AimsTo develop a reliable and valid measure of the quality of relationships with each parent in young adults.MethodInterrater reliability of the Relationship with Family of Origin Scale (REFAMOS) was assessed from audio-taped interviews with 59 subjects. Age-related trends and associations with recalled childhood relationships were examined in survivors of childhood cancer and their controls (n=178).ResultsIntraclass correlation coefficients were in the range 0.69–0.95, and κ values 0.80–0.82. Indices of current closeness to mothers were negatively correlated with age of subject and positively correlated with recalled maternal care in childhood. Negative qualities in current relationships were correlated with recalled overprotection.ConclusionsThe REFAMOS has good interrater reliability, and shows the predicted age-related trends in scores and associations with recalled childhood relationships.

IntroductionAdherence and tolerance to treatment are important factors, which may predict the long-term evolution of a psychosis. Family members may influence prognosis by modulating emotional expressivity and treatment supervision.ObjectivesTo assess the role of family members in the long-term evolution of psychoses.MethodThe present study is retrospective, conducted on patients with psychosis. Data were obtained from psychiatric records extending for a period of four years. The following parameters were analyzed: socio-demographic data, family relationships (parents, spouses) and clinical/evolutive data (onset age for psychosis, number of recurrences).ResultsWe analyzed 71 patients, 42 (59.2%) women and 29 (40.8%) men with a mean age of 30.38 years (SD = 9.33). The subjects were diagnosed according to ICD 10 criteria with acute and transient psychotic disorder (50 patients, 70.4%), schizophrenia (13 patients, 18.3%), and schizoaffective disorder (8 patients, 11.3%). Patients who reported conflicts between parents had significantly more recurrences (t = –2.1, P = 0.04), while those who reported satisfactory relationships in their family of origin had fewer recurrences (t = 2.58, P = 0.01) and a later onset age (t = –2.89, P = 0.006). Unmarried/single subjects had the psychosis onset at a significantly earlier age (t = 4.72, P = 0.0001). In addition, these patients had more conflicts between parents (Z = –2.02, P = 0.04) in comparison with married ones.ConclusionsConflicts in the family of origin may predispose to a greater number of recurrences and to an earlier disorder onset. The presence of a spouse may represent a protective factor.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Division Of Housework

Power dynamics in one’s family of origin shape internalized notions of normative family relationships. Therefore, the division of housework in one’s family of origin socializes children to hold specific attitudes and beliefs about how relationships should work. We examine this hypothesized empirical relationship in Chapter 9 of the book by using Latent Profile Analysis to identify profiles for the adult children of the NSFH couples used to construct the five housework classes (Ultra-traditional, Traditional, Transitional Husbands, Egalitarian, and Egalitarian High Workload). We found three classes for adult female children (Ultra-traditional, Traditional, and Nontraditional) and three classes for adult male children (Traditional, Transitional, and Nontraditional). Children responded to their parental division of labor in gendered ways, providing evidence for not only the parental socialization of housework behaviors but also the challenges faced by women and men in the changing cultural climate of the United States around gender and family responsibilities.

Legal Marriage

Researchers have examined the relational, social, and communicative aspects of legally recognized marriage for LGBTQ+ people. Legally recognized marriage has been found to affect the experiences of and communication within the relational lives of LGBTQ+ people in a variety of ways. First, LGBTQ+ marriage has been found to have psychological effects for LGBTQ+ individuals and has been found to impact aspects of LGBTQ+ identity. Legal marriage has also been found to impact LGBTQ+ romantic relationships by influencing relationship-related perceptions, marriage-related deliberations for couples, and changes to couples as a result of marrying. LGBTQ+ people also report changes in their family relationships related to legal marriage that marriage has influenced relationships with family-of-origin members and family building for LGBTQ+ people. The current research is limited because of a reliance on samples that are predominantly cisgender and White and identify as gay or lesbian, therefore underrepresenting the experiences of marginalized members of the LGBTQ+ community.
