“…In terms of divorce, only 5% of marriages from the 1991 cohort ended within the first 5 years (H. Park & Raymo, 2013). This figure stands in stark contrast to the nearly double divorce rate observed in the United States (Abdel‐Sater, 2022). Given the salience of marriage in the Korean context, it is reasonable to posit that marital satisfaction is a key determinant shaping cognitive function.…”

ObjectiveThis study examines the association between marital satisfaction and cognitive function, while distinguishing between the effects of improving and declining marital satisfaction. Moreover, potential differences in these asymmetric effects of marital satisfaction between middle‐aged and older adults are explored.BackgroundMarital satisfaction is known to promote cognitive function. However, previous studies have assumed that the effects of improving and declining marital satisfaction are symmetrical.MethodUsing seven waves of data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging 2006–2018 (N = 7407), we employ a novel asymmetric fixed effects model to estimate the effects of improving and declining marital satisfaction separately. Stratified analyses were conducted by age group and gender.ResultsThe association between declining marital satisfaction and cognitive function (b = −0.292, p < .001) was stronger than the association between improving marital satisfaction and cognitive function (b = 0.102, p < .001). These asymmetric effects were predominantly driven by older adults. The effect of declining marital satisfaction on cognitive function was significantly greater for older adults than middle‐aged adults (−0.395 vs. −0.148). We did not find gender differences.ConclusionFindings suggest that the negative impact of declining marital satisfaction on cognitive function outweighs the positive effects of improving marital satisfaction, especially among older adults. Reducing marital dissatisfaction and fostering healthy marital relationships are crucial strategies to promote the cognitive well‐being of older adults.

“…U.S. courts tend to resolve visitation rights disputes through negotiation and mediation. The courts encourage parents to engage in discussions and reach agreements to develop appropriate visitation arrangements [6]. The advantage of this judicial practice lies in the flexibility and individualized solutions that better cater to the actual needs of the parties involved.…”

This article compares the visitation rights legal systems in China and the United States, analyzing differences in legal frameworks, legal principles, visitation rights protection, and judicial practices. In terms of legal frameworks, Chinese law is more centralized and unified, while American law is more decentralized. Regarding legal principles, China emphasizes the best interests of the child, while the United States emphasizes the equal rights of parents. In terms of visitation rights protection, Chinese law focuses on the rights of custodial parents, while American law pays more attention to the rights of non-custodial parents. In terms of judicial practices, China emphasizes the best interests of the child and enforcement difficulties, while the United States encourages negotiation and ensures the execution of court orders. Finally, future development directions are discussed, including cross-border visitation rights protection, technological advancements, non-custodial parent rights protection, improvement of dispute resolution mechanisms, and enhancement of public awareness. This article aims to provide references and insights for improving and enhancing visitation rights legal systems.
