“…To our knowledge, very few studies have reported on the selfreported rates of symptoms of clinical concern for other mental health difficulties in adolescents during COVID-19, such as conduct disorder (CD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), separation anxiety, or social phobia. Symptoms of externalizing problems, such as CD, ODD, and ADHD, have been found to be highly associated with environmental influences such as maltreatment at home and poor relationships with parents (Booker et al, 2018;Craig et al, 2020Craig et al, , 2021. With the stay-at-home orders putting additional pressures on youth, it is possible that these behavior problems may be exacerbated and increases in symptoms may occur.…”

There have been significant concerns regarding the mental health impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to isolation, anxiety around the pandemic, and increased conflict in the home. The purpose of this study was to examine the rates of mental health symptoms of clinical concern and substance use, and to assess which COVID-19 related stressors were predictors of these symptoms and substance use in a large Canadian sample of adolescents, with comparisons across genders. Participants (N = 809, M age = 15.67, SD = 1.37) identified as a girl (56.2%), boy (38.7%), or trans/nonbinary individuals (TNBI; 5.1%) and were recruited via social media to complete an online survey. A high proportion of adolescents reported symptoms of clinical concern for depression (51%), anxiety (39%), and posttraumatic stress disorder (45%). Other mental health problems ranged from 9% to 20%. Adolescents were mainly concerned with the health of family members and vulnerable populations, as well as the increased family stress at home during COVID-19. Rates of substance use were higher than expected, with over 50% of youth engaging in some form of substance use in the past 90 days, and almost 20% engaging in substance use at least once a week. TNBI and girls reported higher rates of mental health problems compared to boys. Family stress due to confinement and violence at home predicted higher mental health symptoms, but not substance use problems. Increased rates of mental health problems and substance use necessitate targeted supports that encourage positive coping amidst the additional stresses of COVID-19. Public Significance StatementThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has put unprecedented stress on Canadian adolescence and their families. This paper found higher than expected clinically concerning number of symptoms of mental health problems including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use in Canadian adolescents. Results also suggest that therapies focused on improving family functioning may help alleviate mental health problems in adolescents during and following the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…There were similarities between grandparents and parents in terms of PCGA types, with the highest proportion being neglect types. This similarity between the two generations may be because the current generation's rearing attitudes have implicit and explicit attributes that directly affect the next generation's attitudes through explicit rearing behaviors and indirectly affect them through subtle in uences [54].…”

Background The development of children’s gender roles in single-parent families is worthy of attention. It may be affected by family members’ gender roles and parental child-rearing gender-role attitudes (PCGA). PCGA will form a consistent or inconsistent intergenerational relationship between grandparents and parents.Objective This study examined the intergenerational similarities in gender roles and PCGA. Also, the intergenerational transmission of parental child-rearing gender-role attitudes (ITPCGA) in single-parent families, and the impact of various family factors on children’s gender roles were comprehensively considered.Method Participants were 550 single-parent parent-adolescent dyads. Gender-role Scale and Parental Child-rearing Gender-role Attitude Scale were used to evaluate evaluated participants’ gender-role and PCGA. Chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses were used to examine the intergenerational similarities in gender roles and PCGA, and the influencing family factors of ITPCGA and children’s gender roles.Results The intergenerational similarities of gender role types and PCGA types were existed. Both parent’s gender roles and family gender pairs affected ITPCGA, father-daughter families and parents’ undifferentiated and sex-typed gender roles significantly predicted undesirable ITPCGA. Family gender pair, parent’s gender roles and ITPCGA types affected children’s gender roles. Undesirable ITPCGA significantly predicted children’s undifferentiated gender roles; father-daughter families and mother-son families, parents’ undifferentiated and sex-typed gender roles significantly predicted children’s sex-typed gender roles, and mother-son families and parents’ reversed gender roles significantly predicted children’s reversed gender role.Conclusions This study highlights the effects of single-parent family gender pairs and parents’ gender roles on ITPCGA, which influences the development of children’s gender roles.

“…Early childhood behavioral problems have been consistently associated with higher levels of parenting stress (e.g., Barroso et al, 2018), and longitudinal studies indicate that the level of child's behavioral problems is a significant predictor of parenting stress for both mothers and fathers (e.g., Jones et al, 2014; Lecavalier et al, 2006). Studies that examined the effectiveness of PMT interventions have repeatedly shown that after such interventions, parents reported both a reduction in child's behavioral problems and lower parenting stress (e.g., Booker et al, 2018; Stattin et al, 2015).…”

Children's opposition, marital and life satisfaction: the mediating role of parenting stress

Objective The present study examines the association of children's oppositional behavior with marital and life satisfaction by examining the mediating role of parenting stress. Background Previous research indicates that parents of children who exhibit behavioral problems often experience parenting stress and lower marital and life satisfaction. However, few studies have addressed the underlying mechanisms, and even fewer have focused on the effects of children's nonclinical oppositional behaviors while obtaining data from both parents. Method Participants were 211 parent dyads (N = 422) of typically developing preschool children. Data on child's oppositional behavior, parenting stress, and marital and life satisfaction were obtained from both parents simultaneously and analyzed using the common fate mediation model. Results Parenting stress was found to fully mediate the associations between children's oppositional behavior and marital and life satisfaction, whereas marital satisfaction was found to partially mediate the association between parenting stress and life satisfaction. Conclusions Children's oppositional behaviors lead to lower marital and life satisfaction through a mechanism of parenting stress, and parenting stress negatively affects life satisfaction, both directly and indirectly, through marital satisfaction. Implications Therapeutic interventions for treating children's oppositional behaviors can usefully include a direct focus on reducing parenting stress and enhancing parents’ ability to cope with child‐related stress as a couple, thus improving parents’ satisfaction with their marital relationship and with life in general.
