“…Previous findings showed that resemblance of parent‐to‐offspring communications among offspring siblings was moderate (Buisman et al, 2021). Here, when looking separately at mothers' and fathers' warmth and negativity, we found that mothers were highly concordant toward multiple offspring in their warmth and negativity (ICC MtO warmth = .55; ICC MtO negativity = .47).…”

“…Yet, the majority of studies on the associations of psychological problems and parent–offspring communication focuses on mothers with their child and/or adolescent offspring (Gar & Hudson, 2008; Milan & Carlone, 2018), whereas research on associations between psychological problems and fathers' interactions with their offspring is relatively scarce. Results from our sample showed that within a family, the correlation between fathers' and mothers' communication style was .10, suggesting that mothers and fathers communicate differently with the same child (Buisman et al, 2021). Thus, investigating offspring interacting with both parents is of importance to elucidate the associations of psychological problems with parent–offspring communication in fathers and mothers.…”

“…ICCs ≥.3 indicate high family resemblance (Scherbaum & Ferreter, 2009), ICCs <.3 were considered moderate, and values <.15 were considered low (Bliese, 2000;James, 1982). In a previous study on the same sample, we found that, when warmth and negativity from fathers and mothers were aggregated to parent-to-offspring and offspring-to-parent communication, the resemblance of communication from one parent to offspring siblings was high (ICC = .41) and the resemblance of communication from offspring siblings to one parent was low (ICC = .08; Buisman et al, 2021).…”

“…To examine the effects of psychological problems over and above the effects of experienced childhood abuse (CA; Buisman et al, 2021; Buisman et al, 2019), self‐reported CA was included in our final model. Childhood maltreatment was measured using adapted versions of the self‐reported Parent–Child Conflict Tactics Scales (CTSPC; Straus et al, 1998) supplemented with items from the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ; Bernstein & Fink, 1998).…”

“…Negativity was rated on a 9-point rating scale ranging from (1) demonstrations of negativity are absent to (9) the person is very negative (i.e., "The negativity endures throughout the discussion and is disruptive to the interaction"). Interrater reliability between all pairs of observers was adequate to good (intraclass correlations coefficients were between .71-.82 for warmth and .66-.78 for negativity, see also Buisman et al, 2021). Negativity scores from the FIT were highly skewed to the left, therefore we log-transformed scores and then multiplied by 10 to scale up the variance.…”

ObjectiveThis study examined the relative associations of mothers'/fathers' and offspring's internalizing and externalizing problems with parent‐to‐offspring and offspring‐to‐parent warmth and negativity.BackgroundPsychological conditions of family members may be related to intrafamilial social interactions. Particularly, internalizing and externalizing problems may affect the quality of parent–offspring communication.MethodIn this study, fathers (N = 94), mothers (N = 125) and their offspring (N = 224, age rangeoffspring = 7.5–65.5 years) from 137 nuclear families participated in a behavioral conflict interaction task during which expressed warmth and negativity were observed. Associations between parents' and offspring's psychological problems (of the past 6 months) and parent‐to‐offspring and offspring‐to‐parent communication were tested simultaneously using structural equation models separated for fathers and mothers. Based on prior findings in the study sample, our analyses were controlled for history of childhood abuse.ResultsOffspring's internalizing problems were related to less negativity toward their father, whereas offspring's externalizing problems were related to more negativity toward their father and to receiving less warmth from their mother. Father's externalizing problems were linked to more negativity toward offspring. No associations were found between maternal and paternal internalizing problems and dyadic parent–offspring interactions, nor for maternal externalizing problems.ConclusionFindings support that psychological conditions of one family member have an impact on their social interactions within the family.ImplicationsSupporting families with interventions to improve parent–offspring interactions and (early) treatment of externalizing problems is recommended.

The article deals with the fundamental problem of psychology, devoted to the theoretical analysis of the specifics of the child's experience of stressful situations with different levels of traumatization. Along with the lack of childhood stress understanding and research, the very principles of differentiation between every day and traumatic stress remain the least studied. In the theory of post-traumatic stress, it has been proven that one of the criteria for the danger/safety of a life situation is a person's subjective evaluation of the life threat degree. Such an assessment is based on the individual's representations of psychological safety and its components, such as "internal comfort", "experience/awareness" and "positive environment". In the course of a theoretical analysis of the problem of child's stress, we have shown in the article that a child's feeling of internal comfort and stability depends on the degree of the environment activity, its ability not only to protect the child, but also to provide additional opportunities. In accordance with the purpose of the work, the primary emphasis is not on the resourcefulness of the child's social environment, but on its limitation — the phenomena of "abandonment" and "involvement", which are analyzed taking into account a specific context — the impact on the child of everyday stressors and stressors of high intensity. The methodological basis of the study was the system (B.F. Lomov) and subject-activity approaches (S.L. Rubinshtein, A.V. Brushlinsky and others), the dynamic approach to the study of personality (L.I. Antsyferova). Focusing on these approaches has allowed us to consider the child stress in accordance with a whole system of factors (the nature of the stressor, supporting/non-supporting social environment, etc.). The methods of abstraction, formalization and interpretation are used as theoretical procedures. On the basis of an expert assessment, the features of reactions to everyday stress (situations of interaction of a child with parents and peers) are highlighted, which, unlike traumatic stress (situations of an extreme nature), are not determined by the impact of a specific stressor, but arise as a response to a latent cause of a diffuse nature associated with violation of social and information safety of the child. Manifestations of everyday stress act as a child's reaction to the feeling of "abandonment", which turns out to be associated with emotional, social and informational deprivation, with the leveling or distortion by adults of the child's social roles (the role structure of interaction). The feeling of being "involved" in the context of a traumatic event is accompanied by physical deprivation and a more intense experience of emotional deprivation (emotional rejection), including the child in non-normative social relations and imposing obligations on him that do not correspond to the level of the child's physical, social and mental maturity. The phenomena of abandonment and involvement are analyzed using examples of various situations of everyday and psycho-traumatic nature.
