Trends In Relationship Formation And Stability In The United States

Throughout the course of their lives, people form romantic relationships, which may involve dating, cohabiting, or marrying. Recognizing the centrality of these relationships to people’s lives—and the benefits of healthy relationships to individual, couple, and child well-being—some social service agencies have invested in programs designed to support healthy relationships and marriage.1 Research shows that the formation and stability of romantic relationships have changed considerably over time. The purpose of this brief is to provide an update on these topics for the research community, as well as a concise review for practitioners.

Educated Women Increasingly Likely To Have 1st Baby Before Marriage

College-educated women are much more likely than ever before to have a first child outside of marriage, a new Johns Hopkins University study finds. Women with degrees are also more likely to be married at the time of their second birth, suggesting a historic shift among the educated away from starting families with marriage to starting them with a baby.

Stop Waiting For Your Soul Mate

Despite its popularity in stories and movies, love at first sight has little to do with reality. Researchers have found that what people describe as “love at first sight” has no connection to the real hallmarks of true love, including passion, intimacy, and commitment. Rather, “love at first sight” is either a phrase people use about the past to romanticize their meeting or to describe exceptionally strong physical attraction. The opposite of “destiny beliefs” is a conviction of free will—the view that partners decide whether they should be together, and thus, that they are responsible for the relationship’s success. Lest that sound a bit unromantic, researchers have found clear evidence that when the belief in free will increases, so do one’s feelings of passionate love in a relationship.

ACEs And Behavior Problems Among Poor Black Children

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in early childhood and developmental outcomes during the middle childhood and adolescent years have been understudied among low-income Black families. Nonresident Black fathers' involvement in single-mother families may buffer the adverse consequences over time for economically and socially disadvantaged Black children of exposure to ACEs in early childhood. Interventions that encourage sustained involvement by nonresident Black fathers with young children and their single mothers are recommended.

(Ed. Note: Love Notes has been found to be an effective way to connect fathers with their children and their co-parents.)

Why Sex-Positive Feminism Is Falling Out of Fashion

In her new book, “The Right to Sex: Feminism in the Twenty-First Century,” the philosopher Amia Srinivasan, describes teaching Oxford students about second-wave anti-porn activism. She assumes her students, for whom porn is ubiquitous, will “find the anti-porn position prudish and passé.” They do not. Porn, the students say, provides the script for their sex lives, one that leaves them insecure and alienated.

How Young People’s Social Anxiety Has Worsened in the Pandemic

Thousands of young people are struggling to socialize again. As the country continues its gradual re-emergence from lockdowns, some young people are grappling anew with the symptoms of anxiety disorders, encountering newfound insecurities, a fear of public spaces and a reluctance to hang out with friends. The result, experts said, has been a harmful weakening of their socializing muscles, underscoring the pandemic’s potential long-lasting effects on the mental health of a generation.

Co-Regulation in Practice: Strategies for Practitioners Who Serve Youth Aged 14-24

This series contains step-by-step instructions to implement six evidence-informed and theory-based co-regulation strategies. Practitioners can intentionally layer these strategies onto pre-existing youth programs to support self-regulation without changing their current curriculum. Each strategy can be tailored to a workshop or one-on-one youth service setting and/or can be used among co-workers to foster co-regulation in the workplace.

5 Ways Parents Can Support Their Tweens When A Friendship Ends

Another child doesn't want to be friends with your child anymore. It might feel like the end of the world to your child when it happens, but the end of childhood friendships in middle school is more common than many tweens or parents realize. The grief over losing a connection can feel singularly painful, causing kids to wallow in rejection and parents to worry, but there are steps parents can take to ease this very natural, if painful, part of growing up.

The Impact of Mind Matters:

Preliminary Evidence of Effectiveness in a Community-Based Sample

Becky Antle, Ph.D., Professor of Social Work and esteemed University Scholar at the University of Louisville, won The Dibble Institute’s national competition to evaluate Mind Matters: Overcoming Adversity and Building Resilience in 2019. As a result, Dr. Antle and her colleagues have conducted a randomized controlled trial to examine the impact of Mind Matters on a host of outcomes related to trauma symptoms, emotional regulation, coping and resiliency, and interpersonal skills for at-risk youth in a community-based sample.

Youth in the study reported high levels of childhood trauma and related trauma symptoms upon entry into the program. Following provision of this evidence-informed program by trained providers within community-based organizations, youth reported a reduction in trauma symptoms and improvement in resiliency despite a number of complicating risk factors and across multiple demographic groups.

Join the researchers on this project as they discuss their most recent findings from the pilot of Mind Matters with high-needs youth in the Louisville community. They will focus on youth-related outcomes, lessons learned, and tips for implementing the Mind Matters curriculum in a variety of settings with at-risk youth.

Objectives:

Specifically, webinar attendees will learn:

How Mind Matters is being implemented in community partnership for at-risk youth with fidelity
How Mind Matters is being evaluated using rigorous process and outcomes evaluation methods
How Mind Matters is making a difference in the lives of youth served
How to use effective implementation and facilitation skills to provide Mind Matters to youth across a variety of settings to achieve positive outcomes

Presenter: Becky Antle, Ph.D., MSSW, MFTA, Professor and University Scholar, Director of Center for Family and Community Well-Being, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY.

Who should attend: Program managers, educators, practitioners, community workers, evaluators, policy makers, advocates, counselors, trauma workers, curriculum reviewers, MTSS coordinators, those looking to use ESSER funds on Mental Health supports, teachers covering SEL, and anyone interested in working with youth.

When: Wednesday, October 13, 2021, 4:00 pm Eastern/1:00 pm Pacific

Duration: 60 minutes

Cost: Free!

Teen Pregnancy Prevention Research Grants

Estimated Post Date: January 14, 2022

OPA anticipates the availability of funding for Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) research projects and research-to-practice translation centers. The grants will make significant contributions to the teenage pregnancy prevention field by resulting in improved curricula development and delivery strategies, reduction of disparities among participants, and better data collection and analysis related to program effectiveness. The research grants will primarily consist of secondary data analyses or small research projects to explore new questions in teenage pregnancy prevention that improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of pregnancy prevention programs for adolescents or young adults, and/or reduce disparities, by age, gender, race/ethnicity, or setting. The research-to-practice translation centers will synthesize and translate existing research into practice for health promotion and development of positive assets that will lead to adoption of healthy behaviors and ultimately help to reduce teen pregnancy. The centers are expected to evaluate or assess the research, best practices, approaches, or strategies in a priority protective factor area and make that information easily accessible to health providers, caregivers and others working with youth to prevent teen pregnancy.
