AbstractIn the current study, we examined continuity in conflict across generations and explored potential mediators and moderators that could explain this continuity. We followed 246 targets from adolescence to adulthood and examined family conflict as reported by multiple reporters in targets' family of origin and current families. Results showed that conflict in the current family was strongly correlated with that of the family of origin in women but not in men. Continuity in family conflict across generations was mediated by patterns of elevated adolescent externalizing behavior in members of the second generation (G2). In addition, analyses revealed an interaction between both G2 partners' externalizing behavior such that if one partner in the G2 family demonstrated high levels of externalizing behavior, elevated levels of family conflict resulted. Potential explanations and implications of these findings are considered.

This study was conducted as a predictive examination of family conflict and parent and peer support on adolescent self-esteem, depression, and problem behaviors. The other aim of the study was to determine whether adolescent self-esteem, depression, and problem behaviors differed according to gender. The study sample consisted of 1,734 high school students. The results support the general hypothesis that perceptions of high conflict in the family context are related to lower levels of self-esteem and higher levels of depression; and lower levels of self-esteem are related to higher levels of depression, which are expected to lead to higher levels of involvement in problem behaviors. To increase the level of wellness in adolescents, improving friendship quality and solving parent-adolescent crises are recommended. At the same time, prevention and intervention programs for problem behaviors and emotional problems could be beneficial for adolescents.

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.

The aim of this study was to compare forgiveness in secure and insecure Iranian married couples. Whether marriage had occurred within the family (consanguine) or not (non-consanguine) was also considered. 400 married participants completed the Family Forgiveness Scale and the Adult Attachment Questionnaire. Analysis of reported forgiveness within the marital family showed that, although there was no significant difference between secure and insecure participants in overall forgiveness, secure participants rated “reparation” and “resolution” higher, whereas insecure participants rated “realization” and “recognition” higher. Comparing the experience of forgiveness in the family of origin, securely attached couples not only reported significantly more overall forgiveness but reported more “realization” and “resolution” while forgiving. Some interesting sex differences were also found, as individuals in consanguine vs non-consanguine couples differed in mean “recognition” in the forgiveness process.

Family Process Variables

Based on a developmental contextual perspective advocated by Vondracek, Lerner, and Schulenberg, this article provides a comprehensive review of the research published since 1980related to family of origin influences on career developmentandoccupational choice. Because individuals are most likely to seek assistance with career decisions from family members, it is important that counseling psychologists understand how families can have a positive influence and facilitate career development. Influential family contextual factors are identified within four developmentallevels (i.e., children, adolescents, college students/young adults, and adults). Across the lifespan, both family structure variables (e.g., parents’ occupations) and family process variables (e.g., warmth, support, attachment, autonomy) were found to influence a host of career constructs; however, the process by which families influence career development is complex and is affected by many contextual factors such as race, gender, and age. Based on this comprehensivereview, implicationsfor counselingresearch andpracticeare discussed.
