“…We found similar perceptions of family functioning between genders, such that men also reported greater levels of family functioning relative to women. Although this finding is consistent with work done by Honda and Hohashi () with Japanese couples, it contrasts with findings in a Western Australian sample, in which men reported poorer family functioning compared with women (Cooke, Marais, Cavanagh, Kendall, & Priddis, ). Together, these inconsistent gender associations highlight the need for replication of these results in other Spanish samples and within other cultures.…”

This study used an actor–partner interdependence model to assess the relationship between differentiation of self and family functioning in a sample of 118 heterosexual Spanish couples, with additional attention to family structural correlates, including age of the children, number of children in the household, and educational level. Results showed a significant actor effect, with greater differentiation of self levels predicting better family functioning within individuals. Implications for mental health professionals regarding differentiation are provided.

“…Parents with 12‐month‐old children and who were engaged with the Western Australian Peel Child Health Study (PCHS; Cooke, Marais, Cavanagh, Kendall, & Priddis, ) were invited to participate in this study of parental mentalizing. The PCHS recruited 451 families from September 2009 to January 2012.…”

“…The PCHS collected comprehensive data from parents at numerous time periods across pregnancy and the child's first year. Participant ( n = 120 couples) and nonparticipant ( n = 319 mothers, 190 fathers) groups were analyzed for differences in a range of demographics (for detailed description of the PCHS and its participants, see Cooke, ). No statistical differences, p > .05, were found between participants and nonparticipants for categories of age, father education, parent occupation, parent country of birth, and birth order of the child.…”

“…A number of studies have used the GFAD with mothers and fathers from nonclinical samples (e.g., Kabacoff et al., ; Stevenson‐Hinde, Curley, Chicot, & Jóhannsson, ). However, some studies have found conflicting results regarding the agreement between mothers’ and fathers’ ratings, indicating the need to consider their scores separately rather than combined to form an aggregated family score (Cooke et al, ). The reliability coefficient was high for both mothers (Cronbach's α = .93) and fathers (Cronbach's α = .91).…”

While past research on the care of infants has been mostly with mothers, in recent times there has been a renewed attention to the father-infant relationship. This study examined differences between mother and father parental reflective functioning (PRF) or parental mentalizing; that is, the parental capacity to reason about their own and their children's behaviors by taking into consideration intentional mental states. Data were collected from 120 couples with a 1-year-old child who were participants in the West Australian Peel Child Health Study. Parental mentalizing was assessed using the Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (PRFQ; Luyten, Mayes, Nijssens, & Fonagy, ). Results showed that mother and father mentalizing with their children was independent and that mothers scored slightly higher levels of mentalizing than did fathers. Paternal mentalizing was weakly associated with family income and father education, and was more strongly associated with family functioning than with maternal mentalizing. Implications for theorizing on PRF and fatherhood more generally are discussed.

“…Participants were couples who lived in the same region of Western Australia who were expecting a child at the time of taking part in the Peel Child Health Study 41 between the years of 2008 and 2012. The study recruited 441 families during the women's visit to a general medical practitioner at 18weeks in pregnancy.…”
