“…Similarly, relatedness in the family, intergenerational authority, and cognitive cohesion dimensions representing family climate differentiate the sense of family coherence that controls the family's structure and functioning. Similar with this finding, Neubauer et al (2020) found that a positive climate with the relatedness in the family, intergenerational authority and cognitive cohesion improves family coherence and the expectation of individuals by increasing their motivation, autonomy, competence, and relatedness as well as their overall quality of life (Neubauer et al, 2020). Additionally, investigating the variables of quality of life and mental health during the SARS outbreak in 2003, Lau et al (2006) report that social and family support increased during that period by providing more time for support and care for family members (Lau et al, 2006).…”

This study explored the association of quality of life (QOL) during the pandemic with family climate and family integrity. Participants were 1085 parents from Turkey. According to the findings, the participants’ QOL, which demonstrated their judgments regarding their physical health, mental well-being, social relations, and general happiness, was greatly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Women were seen to have lower perceptions in relatedness in the family and cognitive cohesion than male participants. While there was a positive, but low, association between the variables, there were positive and high correlations between cognitive cohesion and relatedness in the family. When the mediation analyses were evaluated, it was concluded that QOL predicted the sense of family coherence alone, while intergenerational authority influenced other variables. The results highlighted the importance of family climate–based prevention and intervention targeting the promotion of family coherence.

“…Thus, to attenuate the downstream consequences of the disruptions of family life, parents should invest in developing new rituals and routines in the daily life during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this regard, providing children with autonomy support might aid in improving parents' and family's adjustment to the pandemic (Neubauer et al, 2020). Besides, schools and teachers should consider to provide opportunities for children to interact online with teachers and classmates in order to decrease the burden of parents as being responsible for the education of their children.…”

“…In line with this, recent research has shown that parental stress during COVID-19 is linked to a more negative parent-child relationship quality such as lower parent-child closeness and increased harsh parenting (Chung et al, 2020). Further, and targeting a more positive dimension of parenting behavior, daily autonomy-supportive parenting during the COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with both, daily parental need fulfillment and child well-being, as well as with longitudinal change in positive emotional family climate (Neubauer et al, 2020). In view of the particular circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, we examine in this work whether homeschooling and parents' involvement therein, both potentially being a stressor on their own, pose a particular challenge to parent-child relationships and to children's and parents' daily well-being.…”

To slow down the spread of the COVID-19 virus, schools around the world were closed in early 2020, transferring children’s scholastic activities to the homes and imposing a massive burden on parents and school-aged children. Using data of a 21-day diary study conducted between March and April 2020 in Germany, this work examined whether homeschooling (and parents’ involvement therein) was associated with negative parent-child interactions and affective well-being of both, parents and children, over and above the effect of daily stressors. On days when children were working on school tasks, parents (N = 562) reported more negative parent-child interactions as well as lower parental and child positive affect and higher child negative affect, but not higher parental negative affect. Moreover, days when parents were more heavily involved in learning (i.e., when children worked less independently on school tasks) were days with more negative parent-child interactions, lower parental and child positive affect, and higher parental and child negative affect. Negative parent-child interactions were also linked to lower affective well-being of parents and children, and partially accounted for the relation among daily stressors and affective well-being of parents and children. Furthermore, parent-child interactions generally were worse in families in which children worked on school tasks either very rarely or on approximately all days of the study. The present work illustrates the negative consequences of school closures on the parent-child dyad and highlights the need for measures to better support school-aged children and their parents in the learning process at home.

“…Furthermore, we investigated whether these experiences in daily life predict change in mental health symptoms (Aim 3). The hypotheses established above were approached with the Psychological Adjustment to the COVID-19 Pandemic (PACO) study (Neubauer et al, 2020, May 30). This online study combined a pretest-posttest design with a diary phase of 21 days in-between.…”

Objective: When confronted with major threats, people often experience decline in well-being. The central purpose of this study was to identify mechanisms underlying change of well-being in times of threat, using the example of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on appraisals of the pandemic and affective states, stress, as well as mindfulness in daily life. Method: We conducted a study across 3.5 weeks, including pretest, posttest, and a diary phase in-between. We worked with a sample of 460 adults, pre-and post-test information, as well as 7,189 observations from the diary phase. Results: Results showed that deterioration in mental health symptoms across the duration of the study was associated with (a) change towards less fortunate appraisals of the pandemic and (b), more negative affect and less mindfulness in daily life. Furthermore, appraisals of the pandemic at pretest predicted experiences in daily life, with more negative appraisals of the pandemic predicting more negative affect and stressor occurrence as well as less mindfulness. Conclusions: These findings speak to the dynamic nature of well-being and appraisals in times of threat, and highlight the role of experiences in daily life in changes in well-being.
