Narcissism and newlywed marriage: Partner characteristics and marital trajectories.

Purpose. The aim of this work is to study the characteristics of transformation that appeared in the sphere of family relations in the modern Ukrainian society. The main attention is concentrated on problems of asymmetry of family status. Technique. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and synthesis of existing scientific and theoretical material and formulation of appropriate conclusions and recommendations. During the study, we used the following methods of scientific knowledge: terminological, semantic, functional, systemic-structural, comparative legal. Results. The research process recognized that at the present stage of creation of a Ukrainian state more family is in the process of transformation than in decline. It has passed a long way of development and adaptation to diverse conditions of existence, characterized by flexibility and sustainability. Some family functions under the influence of objective conditions disappear, others persist, still others only appear. Scientific novelty. In the research process, a number of faults and reasons in the matter of the transformation of Ukrainian families. The inability of the spouses to overcome the crisis situation in the transition of families from one stage to the other can be connected with the psychological incompatibility of the spouses, the inadequate choice of a marriage partner, the inability of families to solve problems, the low level of socio-psychological adaptation. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in law-making and enforcement activities while solving family household conflicts.

Social Determinant Of Health

Abstract Background Early childbearing is associated with adverse health and well-being throughout the life course for women in the United States. As education continues to be a modifiable social determinant of health after a young woman gives birth, the association of increased educational attainment with long-term health for women who begin childbearing as teenagers is worthy of investigation. Methods Data are from 301 mothers in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 who gave birth prior to age 19. We estimated path models to assess women’s incomes, partner characteristics, and health behaviors at age 40 as mediators of the relationship between their educational attainment and self-rated general health at age 50. Results After accounting for observed background factors that select women into early childbearing and lower educational attainment, higher levels of education (high school diploma and GED attainment vs. no degree) were indirectly associated with higher self-rated health at age 50 via higher participant income at age 40. Conclusions As education is a social determinant of health that is amenable to intervention after a teen gives birth, our results are supportive of higher educational attainment as a potential pathway to improving long-term health outcomes of women who begin childbearing early.

Partner Characteristics

Childhood maltreatment (CM) has long been recognized as a risk factor for good intimate relationships. Research on the effects of CM on relationship functioning has focused on sexual abuse in girls. However, CM also includes emotional and physical abuse and neglect and is also common in boys. Moreover, prior research has mostly focused on individuals in isolation, ignoring that marriage is a system in which two partners mutually influence each other. Questions also remain about mediating and protective factors for healthy relationships in the context of CM. This article reviews the literature on the link between different forms of CM and one’s own and one’s partner relationship quality. It reviews 43 empirical studies that assessed associations between CM in any form and relationship quality. Also, mediating and protective factors and major methodological topics are examined. The review indicated that CM (neglect, sexual, emotional, or physical abuse) is associated with lower relationship quality in men and women. Psychological distress, cognitive and behavioral problems, insecure attachment, and self-dysregulation were identified as mediating factors. Protective processes involve good coping strategies, emotion regulation, parental support, and early secure attachment, but not partner characteristics. The results regarding gender are inconclusive. It is crucial to broaden the research on the dyadic effects of CM of various forms on relationship quality and study mediating and protective factors. More studies on neglect and diverse populations are needed, as well as prospective studies. This will enable the development of prevention programs for couples with a partner exposed to CM.

The Ideal

Research has shown that ideal romantic standards predict future partner characteristics and influence existing relationships, but how standards develop and change among single individuals has yet to be explored. Using the Ideal Standards Model, the present study sought to determine whether repeated experiences of romantic rejection and acceptance over time influence ideal standards, ideal flexibility, and self-perceived mate value (N = 208). Per expectations, results suggest repeated experiences of rejection result in decreases in ideal standards and self-perceived mate value and increases in ideal flexibility, though no effects emerged for acceptance. Given the predictive nature of ideal standards and the influence rejection has on such, findings from this study contribute to a greater understanding of relationship formation processes.

Decisions based on trust are critical for human social interaction. We judge the trustworthiness of partners in social interactions based on a number of partner characteristics as well as experiences with those partners. These decisions are also influenced by personality. The current study examined how the personality trait of behavioral inhibition, which involves the tendency to avoid or withdraw from novelty in both social and non-social situations, is related to explicit ratings of trustworthiness as well as decisions made in the trust game. In the game, healthy young adults interacted with three fictional partners who were portrayed as trustworthy, untrustworthy or neutral through biographical information. Participants could choose to keep $1 or send $3 of virtual money to a partner. The partner could then choose to send $1.5 back to the participant or to keep the entire amount. On any trial in which the participant chose to send, the partner always reciprocated with 50% probability, irrespective of how that partner was portrayed in the biography. Behavioral inhibition was assessed through a self-report questionnaire. Finally, a reinforcement learning computational model was fit to the behavior of each participant. Self-reported ratings of trust confirmed that all participants, irrespective of behavioral inhibition, perceived differences in the moral character of the three partners (trustworthiness of good > neutral > bad partner). Decisions made in the game showed that inhibited participants tended to trust the neutral partner less than uninhibited participants. In contrast, this was not reflected in the ratings of the neutral partner (either pre- or post-game), indicating a dissociation between ratings of trustworthiness and decisions made by inhibited participants. Computational modeling showed that this was due to lower initial trust of the neutral partner rather than a higher learning rate associated with loss, suggesting an implicit bias against the neutral partner. Overall, the results suggest inhibited individuals may be predisposed to interpret neutral or ambiguous information more negatively which could, at least in part, account for the tendency to avoid unfamiliar people characteristic of behaviorally inhibited temperament, as well as its relationship to anxiety disorders.

Mental Health Care Use

Onderzoek naar de determinanten van het gebruik van professionele hulpverlening omwille van sociale en emotionele problemen heeft zich tot nu toe hoofdzakelijk geconcentreerd op het belang van individuele kenmerken. In deze bijdrage gaan we na of het zorggebruik van net‐gehuwde en net‐samenwonende mannen en vrouwen (N=798 koppels) ook beïnvloed wordt door hun partner, hun relatie (duur, gezondheidsgerelateerde steun en conflict) en het verbreken van een eerdere samenwoonrelatie. We vinden geen directe invloed van intieme relaties bij mannen, maar bij vrouwen vinden we dat diegenen die ooit gescheiden zijn en diegenen die veel conflicten hebben met hun partner een minder goede mentale gezondheid hebben en bijgevolg een grotere kans hebben om een professionele hulpverlener gecontacteerd te hebben. Uit de resultaten blijkt ook dat, los van de behoefte aan hulp, vrouwen minder vaak een professionele hulpverlener contacteren, naargelang ze langer samenwonen met hun partner. Het belang van deze resultaten voor verder onderzoek en het beleid worden besproken. Abstract : Although the literature on determinants of health care use has traditionally been concentrating on individual determinants, the couple can also be considered as an important entity in the study of mental health care use. We examine how the mental health care use of recently cohabiting or newlywed men and women (N=798 couples) is influenced by the mental health care use of their partner, characteristics of their relationship (years living together, health‐related support, conflict) and a broken cohabiting relationship. We find no direct effects of intimate relationships on men’s mental health care use. Among women, results show that those who have ever been separated and those who have more conflicts with their partner have a higher health care use, which can be attributed to their higher need for care. Results also show that the longer women live with their male partner, the less mental health care they consume.

Purpose Auditing studies have shifted the research focus from the audit firm level to the individual audit partner level in recent years. Motivated by the call from Lennox and Wu (2018) to explore the effect of audit partners’ characteristics on audit quality in the US, this study aims to develop a new measure of engagement partner workload (EPW), which includes both the size and number of clients audited to test the effect of EPW on audit quality. This study also examines the moderating effect of the partner firm size on audit quality. Design/methodology/approach To test the effect of the EPW on audit quality, this study runs multivariate regressions of EPW on each specific client’s discretionary accruals and audit report delays. This study also runs a logistic regression of EPW on clients’ probability of having small profit increases to meet performance benchmarks. Findings Results of the hypotheses show that partner workload is positively related to audit quality. The results indicate that partners with larger, but fewer, clients conduct higher quality audits. Further analysis indicates that the relationship between partner workload and audit quality only holds for partners from the non-Big 4 firms. Originality/value This study contributes to the literatures of both audit quality and audit partner characteristics, and the results complement initial research aimed at identifying US partner-related characteristics that influence audit quality.
