09-28-2007 · EurekAlert!New research suggests it might be beneficial to children if both parents don't react the same to the child's negative emotions. The findings are based on two studies of kindergarten and preschool children that assessed understanding of emotions and play and conflict with friends. Children who had one parent express less support than the other parent in response to anger and other negative emotions later had less conflict with friends.

- Styles of conflict between parents have different implications for children and families
11-14-2006 · EurekAlert!
New research has added to our understanding of how conflict with parents affects children. The current research followed 212 families with six-year-old children across three years. The findings indicate that mothers' and fathers' parenting styles are affected differently by different types of conflict. Mothers were observed to be less supportive and involved with children when they experienced hostility with their partner, while fathers' engagement with children was affected by withdrawal between partners.

- A baby's conception and birth can influence dream content in new moms
09-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
The conception and birth of a child are emotional events that influence the dreams of most new mothers. In a surprisingly high number of cases, this influence reflects negative aspects of maternal responsibility, depicting the new infant in dreamed situations of danger and provoking anxiety in the mother that often spills over into wakefulness. These kinds of dreams are also accompanied by complex behaviors by new moms such as motor activity, speaking and expressing emotion.

The research contradicts the results of a recent study, which found affected fathers were more likely than affected mothers to transmit the risk of developing MS to their children.

- Living arrangements of low-income children may not play a key role in their well-being
11-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers looked at data on 2000 low-income families to compare the development of children living with only their mothers with children living with biological fathers, in blended families, and in multigenerational families. Findings indicated that children's performance on developmental assessments changed little after their mothers married. The research suggests that although living arrangements might be used to identify at-risk children, interventions targeting living arrangements may not be effective for improving well-being in low-income children.

- Family conditions may affect when girls experience puberty
11-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
New research validates and extends the theory that the quality of parental investment affects the timing of puberty in girls. Greater support from mothers and fathers, as well as less marital conflict and parental depression were linked with later onset of puberty in children. Several other familial factors were also linked with pubertal onset. The study followed 227 preschool children through middle school and assessed parental investment though interviews with mothers and fathers.

- Women on hormone therapy regain emotion response
10-16-2006 · EurekAlert!
Older women on hormone therapy are more sensitive to negative events, confirming speculation that age-related estrogen loss affects the brain's ability to process emotion, an Oregon Health & Science University study shows. Researchers found that hormone therapy appears to reverse the age-related loss of arousal to negative emotional events experienced by the elderly. It also points to specific changes in the brain's arousal system, in the regions that process emotion, and intensification of negative emotions.
