“…Paternal marital satisfaction was a full mediating factor in the relationship between maternal marital satisfaction and paternal PPD. Although there is a lack of research that reports how paternal marital satisfaction can predict the development of paternal PPD, it has been supported in the previous literature, indirectly indicating that, a disharmonious marriage can further increase the risk of paternal PPD, and that furthermore maternal marital satisfaction can exert considerable influence on paternal marital satisfaction [ 20 , 36 ]. As a result, our study suggests that both maternal and paternal marital satisfaction be taken into consideration as another risk factor to consider when aiming to reduce the rates of paternal PPD.…”

“…In addition, previous research has found that the mother-in-law relationship can largely decrease the level of paternal marital satisfaction [ 19 ]. According to a study in China, maternal marital satisfaction also has a large impact on paternal marital satisfaction, meaning those with higher maternal marital satisfaction are more likely to have greater levels of paternal marital satisfaction [ 20 ].…”

Background Post-partum depression (PPD) is a growing mental health concern worldwide. There is little evidence in the Chinese context of the relationship between paternal PPD and maternal PPD. Given the growing global concerns this relationship requires further exploration. Methods A survey was conducted with 950 total couples from March 2017 to December 2018. The study was conducted using a standardized questionnaire that included basic demographic information, information on the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, marital satisfaction (both maternal and paternal), and PPD symptoms. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) analysis was used to explore the underlying mechanism for PPD symptoms in mothers and fathers. Results In 4.4% of the couples both the wife and the husband showed depressive symptoms. Maternal marital satisfaction showed a significant mediating effect on paternal PPD (B = -0.114, p < 0.01), and there was a direct effect of maternal PPD on paternal PPD (B = 0.31, p < 0.001). Conclusions This is the first study to investigate the possible correlation between maternal PPD, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship satisfaction, maternal marital satisfaction, paternal marital satisfaction, and paternal PPD. It is important for future PPD interventions to target both maternal and paternal mental health, as well as the mechanisms identified that can lead to PPD.

“…We estimated the autoregression of marital satisfaction at T3 on marital satisfaction at T1, and such lagged design allowed us to partial out the over-time stability in marital satisfaction and better illustrate how couple-level attachment styles and finance-specific adaptive processes predict marital satisfaction across time (Roth & MacKinnon, 2012). Notably, we included all mediators in one model according to existing studies (Cao et al, 2019;Cobb et al, 2001), aiming to test the relative contributions of each specific mediator and then examine which mediator plays more salient roles than others (Taguri et al, 2018). We also included an extensive set of control variables (as discussed in the 'Measures' section).…”

Guided by attachment theory and the Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation model, we used three-annual-wave, dyadic data from a nationally representative sample of 1136 young-adult newlywed couples to investigate two research aims. First, we conducted a Latent Profile Analysis to identify couple-level attachment styles at Time 1 (i.e., within the first 2 years of marriage) based on the combination of husbands' and wives' attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance. Second, after conceptualizing couple-level attachment styles at Time 1 as vulnerability, we then examined whether finance-specific adaptive processes at Time 2 (i.e., 1 year after Time 1) mediated associations from couple-level attachment styles at Time 1 to marital satisfaction at Time 3 (i.e., 1 year after Time 2). Several findings are noteworthy. First, four different types of couple-level attachment styles were found. Second, for mediators, only perceived partner financial mismanagement mediated associations from couple-level attachment styles at Time 1 to marital satisfaction at Time 3. We discuss how the four different couple-level styles highlight the diversity and complexity in how the two partners' attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance combine together as well as why perceived partner financial mismanagement (i.e., the lack of adaptive processes) mediated associations between couple-level attachment styles and marital satisfaction.

Introduction. Postpartum depression (PPPD) is defined as the occurrence of a depressive episode in the postpartum period, with a peak incidence between 3-6 months. It is estimated that 1 in 10 fathers are currently affected, yet most research focuses only on postpartum depression in mothers. Objective. The aim of the study was to analyze scientific reports on paternal postpartum depression in men. The available literature on 'postpartum depression among men' was reviewed based on the Scopus, PubMed and OVIDMedline databases. Brief description of the state of knowledge. The questionnaire useiIn the diagnosis of PPPD is the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), a screening test for postnatal depression occurring in mothers, but it has also found application in fathers. Results. Fathers perceived a lack of perinatal health care education in relation to their needs and a shortage of specialist support. The father's disturbed mental state prevents him from taking full responsibility for the family and places a mental strain on the mother. At the same time, a poor partner relationship is a risk factor for PPPD. Paternal PPD is a danger to newborn children who are at a critical stage of their development. Conclusions. Fathers should be screened for early detection of PPPD and intervention in a disorder that lacks appropriate diagnostic tools. Public awareness of PPPD is important because fathers are particularly vulnerable, and can be lacking in meeting traditional expectations and modern fatherhood tasks.
