Download or read book Examining the Effects of Communication and Acculturation on Relationship Satisfaction and Postpartum Depressive Symptomatology in Latino Couples written by Jessica Andrea Hughes and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study builds on prior research that has evaluated the longitudinal association between relationship adjustment and depressive symptoms during pregnancy and the postpartum period by focusing on a group of women at high risk for perinatal depression, in this case, Latinos. Most studies have evaluated the association between relationship functioning and depressive symptoms during the postpartum period. However, depression occurs as frequently during pregnancy as in the postpartum period (Evans et al., 2001) and has been shown to be an important predictor of postpartum depression (Milgrom et al., 2008) in Caucasian samples. Since poor communication has been linked to higher levels of marital dissatisfaction in Caucasian samples, it is crucial to explore how communication may play a role in the relationship between marital dissatisfaction and depression in Latinos. Additionally, acculturation levels may not only impact the relationship between marital satisfaction and depression, it may also impact communication. Knowledge in this area could contribute more information on how to effectively intervene with Latinos, and the variables that need to be targeted in order to prevent the onset, recurrence, and greater severity of depression. 175 couples living in a small Southeastern city participated in the study as part of a larger longitudinal study. SEM analyses indicated that relationship satisfaction did not mediate the relationship between communication and postpartum depression. Results also indicated that acculturation did not moderate the relationship between communication and relationship satisfaction, and that the indirect effect was not significant at varying levels of acculturation. However, communication did significantly predict relationship satisfaction for men but not women. Further exploratory analyses indicated that women's level of acculturation marginally predicted women's depressive symptoms at 12 months following enrollment. Specifically, the less acculturated women were, the more depressed they were. Findings also replicate previous findings from Caucasian samples that show that satisfaction and communication are significantly related across time points both within their own repots as well as with reports of their partner. Implications are discussed.
Download or read book The Role of Chronic Stress in the Association Between Depressive Symptoms and Marital Satisfaction written by Patrick W. Poyner-Del Vento and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an 18-month longitudinal study of 200 newlywed couples, growth curve analyses indicated that marital satisfaction and chronic stress interact to predict depressive symptoms. When chronic stress decreased over time, the association between changes in marital satisfaction and depressive symptoms was relatively weak, but when chronic stress increased, the association between marital satisfaction and depressive symptoms was stronger and more negative. Cross-spouse analyses generally indicated that when spouses experienced increases in chronic stress or higher average chronic stress across time points, the bidirectional association between wives' depressive symptoms and husbands' marital satisfaction became weaker and less negative. In sum, increases in chronic stress over the first year of marriage strengthened the within-spouse association between marital satisfaction and depressive symptoms but weakened the bidirectional cross-spouse association between husbands' marital satisfaction and wives' depressive symptoms. This highlights how the broader social context may put maritally distressed spouses at greater risk for depression.

Download or read book Bidirectional Association Between Depression and Marital Satisfaction Among Couples in Rural and Urban China written by Meng Fang and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robust evidence supports the bidirectional and prospective association between depressive symptoms and marital satisfaction in couple relationships (Davila et al., 2003; Morgan et al., 2018; Whisman & Uebelacker, 2009; Woods et al., 2019). Still, there is a need to investigate this longitudinal association for couples with distinct sociodemographic and sociocultural backgrounds (Whisman et al., 2021). Additionally, it is vital to examine how partners' marital satisfaction and depressive symptoms impact the other's marital satisfaction and depressive symptoms. Previous studies on Chinese couples found cross-sectional associations between depressive symptoms and marital distress, as well as unidirectional effects of marital distress on depression (Cao et al., 2017; Miller et al., 2013; Wang et al., 2014). However, the nature of the associations between depressive symptoms and marital satisfaction among Chinese couples remains unclear.The present study aims to investigate the bidirectional association between depressive symptoms and marital satisfaction among Chinese couples by controlling for potential confounding variables. A dyadic data analysis strategy was employed to test both actor and partner effects of the association. This study analyzed depressive symptoms and marital satisfaction over two years among 5,552 couples in rural (n = 4,021) and urban (n = 1,531) China. The results indicated a bidirectional association for Chinese couples overall. Specifically, a negative, bidirectional association between depression and marital satisfaction was found for Chinese couples. Both partners' depressive symptoms were negatively associated with their own levels of marital satisfaction at the baseline, and both partners' levels of marital satisfaction were linked to their own' initial levels of depressive symptoms, indicating that the actor effect was significant. Partner effects were insignificant when examining couples in rural and urban areas together. However, differences in the associations existed based on gender and household location. For couples in rural areas, male partners' depressive symptoms were associated with their own and their spouses' previous levels of marital satisfaction, while female partners' depressive symptoms were merely linked to their own levels of marital satisfaction at the baseline. Urban male partners' levels of depressive symptoms were not associated with either their own or their spouses' previous levels of marital satisfaction, in contrast to urban female partners' whose own levels of depressive symptoms were associated with previous levels of marital satisfaction. Other differences were also found in this study. Results revealed that the association between levels of marital satisfaction and depressive symptoms varied depending on the couples' personal characteristics. These findings strengthen the theoretical basis for applying couple therapy to treat both marital satisfaction and depression for Chinese couples. Future studies are needed to explore the factors and mechanisms causing the variations among couples in diverse sociodemographic regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quality of people’s relationships with and interactions with other people are major influences on their feelings of well-being and their evaluations of life satisfaction. The goal of this volume is to offer scholarly summaries of theory and research on topics at the frontier of the study of these social psychological influences—both interpersonal and intrapersonal—on subjective well-being and life satisfaction. The chapters cover a variety of types of relationships (e.g., romantic relationships, friendships, online relationships) as well as a variety of types of interactions with others (e.g., forgiveness, gratitude, helping behavior, self-presentation). Also included are chapters on broader social issues such as materialism, sexual identity and orientation, aging, spirituality, and meaning in life. Subjective Well-Being and Life Satisfaction provides a rich and focused resource for graduate students, upper-level undergraduate students, and researchers in positive psychology and social psychology, as well as social neuroscientists, mental health researchers, clinical and counselling psychologists, and anyone interested in the science of well-being.
Download or read book Couples Coping with Stress written by Mariana K. Falconier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book that reviews both empirical and clinical applications of how couples jointly cope with stress - dyadic coping - around the globe. The Systemic-Transactional Stress Model (STM), developed by co-editor Guy Bodenmann, is used as a consistent framework so readers can better appreciate the contrasts and similarities across the fourteen cultures represented in the book. Written by scholars from the particular culture, each chapter provides a conceptual review of the dyadic coping research conducted in their specific cultures, and also provides empirical and clinical recommendations. Additional contributions include how to measure dyadic coping, so others can apply the STM model in other contexts. The latest treatment approaches for therapy and prevention are also highlighted, making this book ideal for professionals interested in expanding their cultural competence when working with couples from various backgrounds. Highlights include: -How couples in different cultures deal with stress and how values and traditions affect dyadic stress and coping. -Global applications, especially to couples in the regions highlighted in the book -- the U.S (including one chapter on Latino couples in the U.S.)., Australia, China, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Portugal, Romania, and Switzerland. -Factors encountered in examining dyadic coping using the STM Model including measurement and assessment issues. -Suggestions for making treatment, prevention, and intervention programs for couples more effective. Ideal for relationship researchers, psychologists, mental health counselors, social workers, and advanced students who work with couples dealing with stress. This book is also appropriate for advanced courses on interpersonal processes, close relationships, stress and coping, multicultural issues in marriage and family therapy or counseling, or family systems, taught in a variety of social science disciplines.

Download or read book Depression in Parents Parenting and Children written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is a widespread condition affecting approximately 7.5 million parents in the U.S. each year and may be putting at least 15 million children at risk for adverse health outcomes. Based on evidentiary studies, major depression in either parent can interfere with parenting quality and increase the risk of children developing mental, behavioral and social problems. Depression in Parents, Parenting, and Children highlights disparities in the prevalence, identification, treatment, and prevention of parental depression among different sociodemographic populations. It also outlines strategies for effective intervention and identifies the need for a more interdisciplinary approach that takes biological, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and social contexts into consideration. A major challenge to the effective management of parental depression is developing a treatment and prevention strategy that can be introduced within a two-generation framework, conducive for parents and their children. Thus far, both the federal and state response to the problem has been fragmented, poorly funded, and lacking proper oversight. This study examines options for widespread implementation of best practices as well as strategies that can be effective in diverse service settings for diverse populations of children and their families. The delivery of adequate screening and successful detection and treatment of a depressive illness and prevention of its effects on parenting and the health of children is a formidable challenge to modern health care systems. This study offers seven solid recommendations designed to increase awareness about and remove barriers to care for both the depressed adult and prevention of effects in the child. The report will be of particular interest to federal health officers, mental and behavioral health providers in diverse parts of health care delivery systems, health policy staff, state legislators, and the general public.
