“…Moreover, Eickmeyer, Manning, and Brown (2019) show that marriage (not co‐habitation) leads to greater income pooling, which enables them to cushion against idiosyncratic shocks more easily. This is also consistent with the fact that mothers and fathers select into more nurturing versus protective occupations (Pakaluk and Price 2020).…”

Using weekly variation from April 23 to June 23 2020, we exploit the surge in unemployment over the coronavirus pandemic to identify the effects on mental health outcomes and the role of marital status as a protective factor for households. We find that married respondents are 1–2 percentage points less likely, relative to their unmarried counterparts, to experience mental health problems following declines in work‐related income since the start of the pandemic. Our results suggest that the combination of intrafamily substitution and the psychological benefits of marriage helps insure against unanticipated fluctuations in job and income loss.

“…Most studies agree that mothers play a more fundamental role in the child’s development than the fathers [ 53 ]. Historically, it has been thought that the father bears less responsibility for the care and training of their children, but are more protective [ 54 , 55 ]. However, the mother spends more time interacting with their children and are more authoritative than the father [ 55 ].…”

Parenting styles are crucial in the process of forming social emotions in children. They are also vital for creating effective family policies in order to improve a child’s early development. As such, it is important to acknowledge the enduring association of parenting styles across generations, as well as their impact on early child development. In this study, the question as to whether the warm and hostile parenting styles of a parent/grandparent mediate the relationships between the emotional warmth and rejection parenting styles of a grandparent/great grandparent, as well as the subsequent social–emotional development of a grandson/great grandson and/or a granddaughter/great granddaughter, was examined. Cross-sectional assessment data from 194 primary caregivers of children between 6 and 36 months were analyzed using mediation analyses. In addition, moderated mediation models were used to test heterogeneity effects. This study found evidence that the warm and hostile parenting styles of a parent/grandparent mediated the associations between the emotional warmth and rejection parenting styles of a grandparent/great grandparent, as well as the subsequent socio-emotional development of a grandchild/great grandchild. Parents/grandparents tend to use a warm parenting style when the child is a boy, thereby resulting in fewer socio-emotional problems. This study provides empirical evidence for the purposes of preventive services to improve caregivers’ parenting styles in the early stages of a child’s development. Researchers and family practitioners should continue to support families with intervention or therapeutic techniques in order to mitigate potential lasting consequences.

“…Study by Pakaluk and Price (2020) , suggested that father and mother had distinct role but is complementary to each other in raising a child, in which father was found to be more protective towards the family while mothers take the nurturing role. The differences in this role, might need to be consider in the validation of the scale ( Pakaluk and Price, 2020 ).…”
