Abstract: In this study, the pathways to adult aggression beginning in the family of origin (FOO) and continuing through adult relationships were investigated. With a sample of 30,600 individuals, a comprehensive model was evaluated that included the unique influences of violent victimization in the family, witnessing parental violence, perpetrating violence as children, the family environment, personality, and situational factors in the couple relationship such as negative communication for self and partner. The results indicated that perpetration of violence in the family was the only background variable that was associated with relationship aggression. However, the other types of violence in the FOO were associated with the overall family environment, which had a moderate association with situational factors within the couple relationship. Perceptions of the partner had a particularly strong association with negative communication and relationship aggression. Gender differences were evident as the association between perpetration of violence in the FOO and adult relationship aggression was stronger for women than men, whereas the association between ratings of their partner's personality and adult aggression was stronger for men.

2. Self-Directed, Therapist-Directed, and Assessment-Based Interventions for Premarital Couples (EJ766240)
Busby, Dean M.; Ivey, David C.; Harris, Steven M.; Ates, Chance

Descriptors: Program Effectiveness; Marriage; Family Life Education; Intervention; Independent Study; Outcomes of Education
Abstract: In this study, we present the findings of an investigation of the effectiveness of 3 models of premarital education. The study compares the outcomes between a workbook-only self-directed program, a therapist-directed (unstructured) program, and an assessment-based (RELATE) relationship enhancement program. Results revealed significant differences in effectiveness between the 3 approaches at the 6-month follow-up. The assessment-based program had more influence than the therapist-directed and self-directed programs on problem areas and was better than the therapist-directed program at improving communication and relationship satisfaction. Participants indicated that the most helpful aspects of these programs were the opportunity to discuss previously undiscussed issues, improvements in communication, and the perspectives provided by the facilitator.

3. The Family of Origin Parachute Model: Landing Safely in Adult Romantic Relationships (EJ718371)

Journal Articles; Reports - Evaluative
Descriptors: Predictor Variables; Interpersonal Relationship; Self Esteem; Attitudes; Family Influence; Models
Abstract: This study investigates the utility of the family of origin parachute model in predicting longitudinal outcomes for couples in romantic relationships. This conceptual model contains common family variables that are theoretically and empirically related to later adult functioning and are believed to influence attitudes that adult children develop regarding romantic relationships as well as self-esteem. Data from two samples were used to analyze this model. The results support the model and demonstrate its ability to predict membership in relationship satisfaction groups. Suggestions are presented for integrating the family of origin in applied work. Note:The following two links are not-applicable for text-based browsers or screen-reading software.

Descriptors: Immigration; Acculturation; Identification (Psychology); Cultural Influences; Models; Immigrants; Hispanic American Students; Ethnicity; Interpersonal Relationship
Abstract: The transgenerational cultural identity model offers a detailed understanding of the immigration experience by challenging agendas of assimilation and by expanding on existing theories of cultural identity. Based on this model, immigration is a complex phenomenon influenced by many variables such as sociopsychological dimensions, family, oppression, and quality of reception in the new country. These factors produce different outcomes of cultural identity. Potential applications of the model for educational institutions serving Latina/o students are discussed.
