“…There are some studies that show differences in parental attributions as a function of parents' culture of origin. Some cultures, for example, tend to create more stability and intentionality attributions than others, or are more likely to make external locus attributions for children's social withdrawal (for more details see Kil et al., 2021). However, these three items have presented a level of dispersion and lack of relatedness that does not allow their interpretation in these terms.…”

The parental attribution measure (PAM) is an instrument that assesses the attributions made by parents regarding their children's behavior, for both clinical and community samples. This research has aimed at evaluating the psychometric properties of the PAM in a community sample in Spain. Data were analyzed from several samples of fathers and mothers (N1 = 253; N2 = 458, N3 = 711) who reported on their attributions and level of parental stress on the one hand and on their children's emotional insensitivity traits and behavioral problems on the other. The results did not support the original structure proposed but a unidimensional structure consisting of nine items with good psychometric properties and factorial invariance. The 9‐item PAM exhibited a positive relationship with callous unemotional traits and behavioral problems in children and with parental stress. This study provides important new insights into the psychometric properties of the PAM in a Spanish sample. It represents a significant advance, since so far there have been no other instruments to use in assessing parental attributions about their children's behavioral problems in Spanish. In short, this research is intended to evaluate the psychometric properties of the PAM in a sample of a community in Spain. The results supported a unidimensional structure composed of a 9‐item instrument with good psychometric properties and factorial invariance.

“…Likewise, parents who report low parental self-efficacy may feel less confident to implement the recommended positive parenting strategies prescribed by treatment. Thus, researchers have recently turned their attention to understanding the specific processes by which addressing parental attributions can lead to better child outcomes [ 76 , 77 ]. Findings suggest that parent-causal attributions may be particularly important in determining parent readiness for treatment, but that consideration of self-perceived positive parenting skills is key to understanding whether parent-causal attributions may be problematic for treatment readiness [ 78 ].…”

Purpose of reviewThere are a wide range of psychosocial treatment options, delivered in different modalities, for children with disruptive behaviour. However, clinicians face many challenges in ensuring the empirically supported treatments (ESTs) they select will be effective for their patient. This has prompted studies to generate knowledge on how to improve treatment outcomes for children with disruptive behaviour. This review identifies the major challenges in treatment selection as well as emerging research seeking to improve outcomes.Recent findingsThis review emphasizes the salience of the research-practice gap associated with establishing ESTs using narrow definitions of clinical problems. Recent research is reviewed considering the complex determinants of disruptive behaviours, including parent and family factors that influence outcomes. The review subsequently outlines recent advances in research and clinical practice guidelines aiming to surmount these challenges. Key advances discussed include examining the most impactful components of ESTs, personalizing interventions by targeting core dysfunction underlying behaviour, and addressing parent factors including mental health and cultural relevance to improve outcomes.SummaryThorough assessment of patients’ needs, combined with knowledge of treatment response predictors, are recommended to determine the most suitable treatment plan. Recent advances have focused on developing and designing interventions that meet needs in a way that is flexible and tailored.

“…Regarding ethnicity-related experiences in interethnic parenting, it may be expected that there exists heterogeneity in coparenting experiences across diverse interethnic unions. Indeed, considering that cultural values, expectations, and cognitions about parenting can differ across ethnocultural groups (Bornstein et al, 1996; 2011; Kil, Singh, et al, 2021), coparenting experiences may vary across diverse interethnic parent unions in which parents may each hold different ideas about parenting. For example, an interethnic parent couple composed of a White father and an Asian mother may differ from both their White same-ethnicity and Asian same-ethnicity counterparts in their experience of coparenting quality.…”

The Interracial Couples’ Life Transitions (ICLT) model proposes that: i) interethnic parents experience more coparenting difficulties upon the birth of a child compared to same-ethnicity parents; and ii) there exists heterogeneity in interethnic parents’ coparenting quality, thus the coparenting experience cannot be generalized across all interethnic unions. In the present work, we examined these two propositions using a large-scale database of elevated risk, fragile families. In Study 1, we compared the longitudinal trajectories of coparenting in interethnic parents ( n = 574 mother-father unions) and their matched same-ethnicity counterparts ( n = 574 each mothers and fathers) and found that interethnic parents of Asian, Black, Hispanic, and White backgrounds consistently experienced lower and decreasing trajectories of coparenting compared to their counterparts across the first 9 years of a child’s life. In Study 2, we examined heterogeneity in coparenting trajectories for only interethnic mothers and fathers ( n = 1148) and found a three-trajectory profile in which the majority (75.5%) of parents fall into a contented (stable and high) coparenting profile. Our findings confirm and extend on the ICLT model, showing that most interethnic parents experience more coparenting difficulties across time compared to their counterparts, and although there is some heterogeneity in interethnic parents’ coparenting trajectories, most interethnic parents appear to experience stable and content coparenting across time.
