The quality of parenting is a complex and multiply determined construct that is strongly influenced by the larger ecological context in which it evolves. A substantial body of literature has documented associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and parenting but has been limited in its consideration of factors that may explain or moderate the nature of this relation. The socioeconomic conditions within which a family lives may powerfully influence parenting through its effects on parental mental health and via differential access to resources. Parents’ childrearing knowledge and cultural values may also vary along a socioeconomic gradient, with downstream effects on parenting. Further, both socioeconomic factors and parenting can independently shape children’s health and development. A more comprehensive understanding of linkages between SES and parenting may inform preventive intervention efforts to support families from disadvantaged environments.

“…In a rare study that considered youth and family protective processes within the context of criminal offending, researchers found that ethnic-racial socialization practices aimed at communication about African American history and pride, as well as preparation for bias, provided resilience to the criminogenic effects of interpersonal racial discrimination (Burt, simons, & Gibbons, 2012). similarly, positive fathering characterized by perseverance and being present was evident in a qualitative study based on interviews with 50 low-income fathers, most of whom were African American or latino and had some involvement with the criminal justice system (Roy, Palkovitz, & Waters, 2015). Failure to examine positive parenting processes that contribute to resilience, in part because of the current overreliance on secondary analysis of data sets that do not assess positive parenting or positive child outcomes, may inadvertently contribute to a negative bias about the state of families of color who experience parental incarceration.…”

When Parents Are Incarcerated: Interdisciplinary Research and Interventions to Support Children.

During the past decade, a burgeoning research literature from multiple disciplines, including sociology, criminal justice, family science, and pediatrics, has documented the sequelae of parental incarceration for children and families, although fewer studies have appeared in child development publications. In this chapter, we argue that the application of developmental and family theories and methodologies facilitates understanding of how and why children's lives change when a parent is incarcerated. Parental incarceration, as a complex phenomenon, may be defined, studied, and analyzed differently depending on whether the lens focuses on children, families, communities, or larger organizations and societies. The child development and family theories reviewed here emphasize "development in context," including the importance of proximal processes, relationships, the interaction of multiple systemic levels, and the recognition of resilience processes that can include individual, family, and other assets as determinants of child and family well-being.

“…In recent years, however, there has been a shift from the typical breadwinner model to a model in which the father is more engaged in childrearing (Roy, 2014). Studies have shown that early parental involvement and support has long‐term outcomes because it increases the chance of the parents having a high‐quality relationship with their children and exchanging support with them later in life (Kalmijn, 2015b; Silverstein et al, 2002).…”

“…Recent studies have shown that father–child contacts after a separation have in general increased over time (Amato et al, 2009; Gähler & Palmtag, 2015). This increase in contact could be a measure of an increase in fathers' involvement and may be an indicator of the so‐called new fatherhood (Roy, 2014). The new fatherhood concept aims to explain the recent shift in fathers' role in the family, from that of primarily breadwinner to a role that focuses more on caregiving and shared responsibility for the household chores (Roy, 2014).…”

Does It Matter Anymore? A Study of Childhood Characteristics and Separated Families' Contacts in Adulthood

Objective The study aimed to explore which factors influence intergenerational contacts between adult children and their separated parents, focusing on childhood characteristics. Background Children from separated families have less frequent contact with their parents compared with peers from intact families. Yet few studies have examined the heterogeneity in intergenerational contact within separated families. Methods Data were based on Swedish Level of Living Survey. Using linear probability model, the first analysis showed that intergenerational contacts vary depending on family type (n = 2,500). The study then explored variations in contacts within separated families (n = 472). Results The findings show that previous frequent contacts with the nonresident parent were positively correlated with current father–child contacts. Conclusion Separation has long‐term consequences on intergenerational contacts, and these are partly predicted by childhood characteristics. Implications The findings suggest, for example, that alternate living (i.e., children living spending equal time with their parents after separation) may contribute to a more equal distribution of the contact between children and their separated parents even in adulthood and help narrow the gender gap in intergenerational contacts within separated families.
