Belief systems guide an individual's perceptions, behaviors, and interactions. Understanding an individual's belief systems can be beneficial in assessment, treatment planning, and service delivery. ...Belief system development is impacted by different factors, including the belief systems held by an individual's family-of-origin. At this time, there is not an available theory or instrument that identifies the components and characteristics that are included within family belief systems. To fill this current gap, we developed a typology of family belief systems and an associated illustrative figure labeled as The Family Belief Systems Wheel. The proposed typology is presented followed by discussion of the practical applications for the field.
Objective
The present study sought to explore how support from one's family of origin predicts the development of self‐esteem across the transition to adulthood for sexual minority individuals ...compared with their heterosexual peers.
Background
Familial relationships have an influence on the development of self‐esteem. Additionally, lesbian, gay, and bisexual emerging adults may perceive less support from their families than heterosexual peers.
Methods
The present study used secondary data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent and Adult Health study. The study conducted a multiple group latent growth curve following the development of self‐esteem.
Results
Results indicated that feeling as though one's family understood them in adolescence was significantly associated with self‐esteem during adolescence for both sexual minority and majority individuals. Additionally, this sense of feeling understood by one's family was also associated with the rate of change of the developmental trajectory of self‐esteem across four time points.
Discussion
The study illustrates the lasting influence one's family of origin has during this important developmental moment. Results illustrated how familial understanding in adolescence was significantly associated with the development of self‐esteem for both sexual minority and sexual majority individuals.
Implications
The relationship with the family of origin has a lasting impact into emerging adulthood, and practitioners working with families can help ensure support for sexual minority adolescents. This includes, but is not limited to, encouraging communication within the family to build a sense of understanding.
Referring to Komisi Perlindungan Anak Indonesia (KPAI), the highest perpetrators in family violence were mothers (22%), but there has not been much research on the violence transmission from parents ...to children and the role of forgiveness as a protective factor. This study aims to examine the role of forgiveness as a moderator of the relationship between the perceived unfair treatment by family members of origin and anger with their own children. Participants involved in this study were 63 mothers who perceived unfair treatment by family members of origin and had children aged between 2 to 7 years old. Data were collected using 3 scales: Personal Forgiveness Scale, Family of Origin Hurt Scale, and Attitude toward Child Scale. The multiple regression analysis showed that there was a significant positive relationship between the perceived unfair treatment and anger with one's own child (gender similarity transmission sample, r = .75, p = .000,n = 31; all sample, r = .77, p = .000, n = 63). The analysis for gender similarity transmission sample showed that 56.7% (and for all samples, 58.4) of the variance in anger with one's own child was explained by the perceived unfair treatment by the mother. Meanwhile, forgiveness does not play as a moderator variable in the association of both variables. The implications of the results of this study are discussed.
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) emerging adults often seek support from their peers if they lack support from their family of origin. We predicted that peer social support would moderate the link ...between negative family relationships and psychosocial adjustment, such that in the context of family rejection, experiencing more peer support would predict lower levels of anxiety, depression, and internalized homonegativity (IH) and higher self-esteem. Sixty-two (27 females) LGB individuals (ages 17–27, M = 21.34 years, SD = 2.65) reported on their families’ attitudes toward homosexuality, experiences of family victimization, peer social support, anxiety and depression symptoms, IH, and self-esteem. Results showed that peer social support moderated the link between negative family attitudes and anxiety and also moderated the link between family victimization and depression. The moderating effects suggest that having a supportive peer group may protect against mental health problems for LGB emerging adults who lack support from their family of origin.
The purpose of this study was to understand differences in one's ability to implement relationship self‐regulation (RSR) in marriage based on the family‐of‐origin variables of parent–child ...relationship quality, parental marital satisfaction and current emotional health. The participants were 484 married couples who completed the relationship evaluation. Structural equation modelling was used to test a model that showed that the actor and partner's emotional health were associated with RSR in marriage, while most family‐of‐origin factors were not directly associated with RSR. However, the perceived mother–child relationship quality was associated with RSR for wives, but not husbands, when controlling for the other variables in the model. There were no significant relationships between father–child relationship quality or parental marital satisfaction and RSR. Implications for couple therapists and educators are discussed.
Practitioner points
Relationship self‐regulation (RSR) involves recognizing one's own positive and negative contribution to the relationship.
Emotional health affects RSR and should be attended to in work with couples.
Helping partners address emotional health issues may increase a couple's ability to collaboratively work on their relationship.
Open expression of emotions and positive communication skills may decrease emotional health symptomology and increase the couples' use of RSR.
用原生家庭经历和情绪健康状况预测婚姻中的关系自我调节
本研究的目的是根据亲子关系质量、父母婚姻关系满意度等原生家庭变量, 以及当下的情绪健康状况来理解个人在关系自我调节（RSR）方面能力的不同。被试是484对完成关系评估的已婚夫妻。结构方程模型用于分析检测模型, 结果表明被试及其伴侣的情绪健康和婚姻中的关系自我调节存在相关, 而大部分原生家庭因素和关系自我调节不存在直接相关。然而, 感知母子关系质量在控制其他变量的情况下和妻子的（而不是丈夫的）关系自我调节存在相关。父子关系质量或者父母婚姻满意度和关系自我调节之间不存在显著的相关关系。本文探讨了该结果对婚姻治疗师和婚姻教育人员的启示。
对实务工作者的启示
关系自我调节（RSR）指某人意识到自己对关系的积极和消极影响。
情绪健康状况影响关系自我调节, 并应该在和夫妻开展工作时加以注意。
帮助伴侣处理情绪健康问题可能增加夫妻协作改善婚姻关系的能力。
开放的情绪表达和积极的交流技巧可能减少情绪病症并增加夫妻关系自我调节的使用。

Out-of-home care (OHC) experiences are associated with poor long-term outcomes throughout life. However, the continuity of OHC over generations is not fully explored, and the influence of mental ...health problems (MHP) and socioeconomic conditions on such transmission is still unclear. We therefore assessed the extent to which MHP affect the intergenerational transmissions of OHC as well as whether there are differential patterns depending on the socioeconomic conditions of the family of origin. We used a prospective data from the Stockholm Birth Cohort Multigenerational Study (SBC Multigen) on 11,333 cohort members (Generation 1; G1), their parents (Generation 0; G0), and 24,905 children (Generation 2; G2). Multivariate regressions and path models were used to examine the associations between OHC and MHP across generations; stratified analysis by occupational class in G0 was performed to explore potentially differential patterns. Our findings support the existence of an intergenerational transmission of OHC, particularly in the working class group (OR 4.70); MHP was only transmitted across generations in this group (OR 1.51). While the results indicated a stronger role of MHP among the middle/upper class (OR 5.59) compared to working class (OR 3.52) in part of the pathway (MHP G1→OHC G2), this patter was not consistent throughout the whole pathway (e.g. OHC G1→MHP G1). We conclude that there is a tendency for OHC and MHP experiences to continue across generations, particularly among families with more disadvantageous socioeconomic conditions. MHP seem to play an important role in the transmission of OHC irrespective of socioeconomic conditions.
•OHC and MHP are transmitted across generations.•Most disadvantageous families are more susceptive to such transmissions.•MHP play a role in OHC's transmission irrespective of socioeconomic conditions.
Employing Dutch longitudinal information on 1250 second-generation Moroccan and Turkish migrants we investigate cultural assimilation using attitude questions on marriage and sexuality (including ...measures of homophobia). Two theoretical approaches guide our analyses. First, it is expected that the family of origin may push migrants in a more conservative direction. Second, it is expected that aspects of individual achievement in social, cultural and socioeconomic domains may pull migrants in more liberal directions. We find that Moroccan and Turkish migrants have considerably more conservative values about marriage and sexuality than natives, but there is also variation within the second generation. Both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses for migrants indicate that the role of parents is particularly important: migrant children of religiously more orthodox parents and children of parents who were poorly integrated socially and culturally in their youth, currently have more conservative values about marriage and sexuality, even when individual characteristics are controlled for. Of the various aspects of individual achievement, we find that especially social integration of the second generation is a relevant predictor of liberal values, and not socioeconomic indicators of integration. These results remain significant in a stringent longitudinal test which minimises the bias due to reverse causation.

Objective
To identify latent profiles of family environments among transgender adults and to examine the relationships between these profiles and mental and physical health.
Background
How a ...family‐of‐origin responds to a transgender family member has significant implications for that individual's mental and physical health. However, the extant research on the health of transgender people has largely relied on a binary conceptualization of family environments that has been critiqued as simplistic, reductionistic, and misrepresentative. To date, no known quantitative studies have assessed transgender family environments beyond this ostensibly antiquated conceptualization.
Method
Data were collected in 2018 from transgender adults via Amazon's MTurk (N = 873). Participants completed questionnaires about their family environment, experiences of minority stress, mental and physical health, and quality of life.
Results
Latent profile analysis yielded five profiles of transgender family environments: disengaged; accepting and affirming; repudiating; moderate family ambiguity; and high family ambiguity. Over half of respondents were assigned membership to one of the two ambiguity profiles (56.4%). Distal regression models demonstrated that, relative to embracing and affirming, membership in each of the other four profiles was negatively associated with both mental and physical health. Participants assigned to the ambiguity profiles did not statistically differ on health outcomes when compared to those in the repudiating profile.
Conclusion
Ambiguity is prevalent in transgender people's families‐of‐origin. It also appears equally detrimental as family rejection is to the mental and physical health of transgender adults.
Introduction
Intimate partner violence (IPV) among sexual minority people has been underestimated since few decades ago despite its spreading. The current systematic review aims to review and ...systematize studies on factors associated with IPV perpetration within this population.
Methods
Data search was conducted on EBSCO and PubMed considering articles published until July 2022, and 78 papers were included.
Results
Although methodological limitations can affect the results found, the data demonstrated an association between IPV perpetration and psychological, relational, family of origin-related and sexual minority-specific factors, substance use, and sexual behaviors.
Conclusion
The findings emerged highlight the importance of a multidimensional approach to tackle IPV perpetration among sexual minority people and limit relapses, while increasing individual and relational wellbeing.
Policy Implications
The empirical evidence emerged can contribute to the development of policies and services tailored for sexual minority people victims of IPV, to date still scarce and often ineffective.
To better understand the long-term implications of coparenting quality for adult child outcomes, we examined the associations between coparenting quality in the family of origin (Generation 1; G1), ...and attachment avoidance and anxiety and perceived relationship functioning of new parents (Generation 2; G2) using a dyadic approach. Dual-earner families expecting their first child (n = 182) were followed across the transition to parenthood and assessed at the third trimester of pregnancy (3T) and 9 months after childbirth (9M). At 3T, parents reported on the coparenting quality in their families of origin, and attachment avoidance and anxiety. At 9M, the participants reported their perceptions of couple relationship functioning-dyadic adjustment and negative interaction. We found that at 9M, G1's coparenting quality predicted not only G2's own perceptions but also G2's partners' perceptions of relationship functioning. Further, mediational analyses showed that parents' G1 coparenting quality was associated with higher G2 self- and partner-perceived dyadic adjustment and lower G2 self-perceived negative interaction through G2 parents' lower attachment anxiety and avoidance. G1 coparenting quality was negatively associated with G2 partner-perceived negative interaction through G2 parents' lower attachment anxiety. Our findings suggest that coparenting relationships have long-term implications for human development even into adulthood.
