Resolving Coparenting Dissatisfaction In Couples: A Preliminary Task Analysis Study.
This study explored the change that unfolded when parents resolved their coparenting dissatisfaction during an Integrative Brief Systemic Intervention (IBSI) for parent couples. We conducted a task analysis (Greenberg, 2007) to build a model of resolving coparenting dissatisfaction. We compared a postulated model of change (rational model) based on theoretical and clinical assumptions to the observations of the actual change process that couples experienced in an IBSI (empirical analysis). The empirical analysis was conducted on six IBSI therapy cases (three exhibiting positive development and three exhibiting no development). We defined positive development in IBSI as moving from coparenting dissatisfaction to coparenting satisfaction. The final rational-empirical model included six steps that facilitated the resolution of coparenting dissatisfaction. This study contributes to deepening the knowledge of how coparenting may change during marital therapy
Intervention systémique brÚve intégrative (ISBI) pour couples parents : dialogue entre recherche et clinique
La littĂ©rature clinique systĂ©mique a beaucoup thĂ©matisĂ© lâimpact du conflit conjugal sur la coparentalitĂ© et sur les problĂšmes de lâenfant, mais peu lâeffet de la coparentalitĂ© sur les deux autres sous-systĂšmes. Cet article prĂ©sente un modĂšle dâintervention clinique pour les couples parents dĂ©veloppĂ© Ă Lausanne depuis quelques annĂ©es, lâintervention systĂ©mique brĂšve intĂ©grative (ISBI), issu dâun projet de recherche construit autour de lâintĂ©gration des perspectives conjugales et coparentales dans la prise en charge thĂ©rapeutique de couples parents. Des exemples de donnĂ©es de recherche permettent dâillustrer lâintĂ©rĂȘt dâintĂ©grer ces perspectives dans la pratique clinique avec des couples parents
The importance of the coparenting relationship in couple therapy
The literature has supported the broad importance of the coparenting relationship for the couple and for family. However, couple therapy research has overlooked couples of parents and coparenting as a target and an outcome of therapy. Therefore, this thesis aimed to explore the relevance of working on the coparenting relationship within couple therapy and observed the nature of changes related to this specific therapeutic work.
As a preliminary step, we reviewed and evaluated the efficacy of coparenting interventions within the broader framework of intervention programs for couples. Then, we focused on a couple therapy, and presented the Integrative Brief Systemic Intervention (IBSI) that systematically integrates therapeutic work on both the romantic and coparenting relationships. Finally, we conducted two process studies to identify the nature of the changes related to integrating coparenting work into the IBSI.
This thesis offers the first evidence of the relevance of working on coparenting within both prevention programs and IBSI. The process studies allowed us to describe the process unfolding when parents improved their coparenting satisfaction within the IBSI. This process comprised six steps and discriminated couples whose coparenting outcomes improved from couples who did not improve after couple therapy.
We finally discussed the implications of this research for both empirical literature and clinical practice.

Cette thÚse visait à explorer l'importance de la relation coparentale dans le cadre d'une thérapie de couple et à observer la nature des changements associés au travail thérapeutique de celle-ci. En effet, bien que la littérature soutienne largement l'importance de la relation coparentale pour la famille et le couple, les recherches sur la thérapie de couple ne se sont que trÚs peu intéressées aux parents et nous avons peu de connaissances sur la relation coparentale comme cible des interventions de couple.
Dans un premier temps, nous avons examiné et évalué l'efficacité des interventions sur le coparental pour les couples. Ensuite, nous nous sommes concentrés sur une thérapie de couple, l'intervention Systémique BrÚve Intégrative (ISBI), qui intÚgre systématiquement le travail thérapeutique sur les relations conjugale et coparentale. Enfin, nous avons mené deux études de processus pour documenter la nature des changements liés à l'intégration du travail sur la coparentalité dans l'ISBI.
Cette thÚse offre les premiÚres preuves de la pertinence du travail sur le coparental au sein des programmes de prévention et de l'ISBI. Les études de processus nous ont également permis de décrire le processus en jeu lorsque les parents améliorent leur satisfaction coparentale au cours des séances d'ISBI. Ce processus est composé de six étapes et permet de distinguer les couples qui s'améliorent ou non aprÚs la thérapie de couple.
En conclusion, nous discutons les implications de cette recherche pour la littérature empirique et la pratique clinique
MĂ©ta-analyse des effets de lâadministration de lâocytocine sur lâhumain sain selon trois grandes thĂ©ories : impact sur les variables sociales, cognitives et Ă©motionnelles
Contexte: depuis plus de deux dĂ©cennies, une sĂ©rie dâĂ©tudes sâest intĂ©ressĂ©e de prĂšs aux effets de lâadministration de lâocytocine (OT) sur diffĂ©rentes variables sociales, cognitives et Ă©motionnelles chez les humains. Tandis que la littĂ©rature dresse un portrait idĂ©aliste de lâhormone, elle met les chercheurs face Ă un nĆud de convergences et de divergences quant Ă ses effets. Ainsi, ce mĂ©moire prĂ©sente quatre approches mĂ©ta-analytiques qui ont pour objectif de clarifier les rĂ©sultats dâune multitude dâĂ©tudes dans ce domaine en pleine expansion. La premiĂšre approche constitue la mĂ©ta-analyse gĂ©nĂ©rale tandis que les trois autres approches sont relatives aux trois grands champs de la littĂ©rature sur lâOT Ă savoir, la thĂ©orie de la prosocialitĂ©, la thĂ©orie de la saillance sociale et la thĂ©orie des comportements dâapproche et dâĂ©vitement. MĂ©thode: nous avons rassemblĂ© 149 articles traitant des effets de lâadministration de lâOT sur lâhumain sain et de ses impacts sur les variables sociales, cognitives et Ă©motionnelles. Le but de cette recherche fut de dĂ©terminer la taille rĂ©elle de lâeffet de lâhormone par agrĂ©gation des effets de chaque Ă©tude. Pour ce faire, nous avons analysĂ© les donnĂ©es Ă lâaide du programme CMA (Comprehensive Meta-Analysis). RĂ©sultats: la mĂ©ta-analyse gĂ©nĂ©rale montre un effet principal significatif de lâOT. Toutefois, cet effet nâest que de taille petite Ă modĂ©rĂ©e (Z = 11,854 ; p = 0 ; d+ = 0,419). Les mĂ©ta- analyses spĂ©cifiques ne se sont pas rĂ©vĂ©lĂ©es plus concluantes. En effet, celles-ci se caractĂ©risent Ă©galement par des effets de taille petite Ă modĂ©rĂ©e. Conclusion: les analyses rĂ©vĂšlent que les effets de lâOT ont Ă©tĂ©, de maniĂšre gĂ©nĂ©rale, surestimĂ©s. La taille rĂ©elle de lâeffet de lâOT nâest que petite Ă modĂ©rĂ©e.Master [120] en sciences psychologiques, UniversitĂ© catholique de Louvain, 201

Dynamics between parentâs essentialist beliefs and practices as parents and coparents
Parentsâ beliefs about parenting roles and norms appear to influence how they behave and perceive themselves as parents (Meyer & Gelman, 2016). In this study, we aimed to better understand how adherence to certain social beliefs may shape parenting practices and family relationships. Specifically, we focused on parentsâ adherence to gender essentialism, which involves beliefs that women are biologically better suited to parenting than men. We hypothesized that the adherence to these beliefs might influence mothersâ and fathersâ behaviors, as well as those of their partners. Therefore, we investigated the dynamics between parental adherence to essentialism and their own and their partnersâ parenting and coparenting practices. This study was drawn from the SAFE-SORRY project, a broad project comprising several studies exploring contemporary parenting and its macro-contextual determinants. We used the first wave of a longitudinal study assessing parents of adolescents. Our sample currently consists of 93 dyads of parents around 50 years old (M = 48.4, SD = 4.7 for mothers; M = 50.2, SD=5.5 for fathers). Their adolescent children were on average 16.5 years old (SD = 0.69) and 55.5% were girls. For this study, we focused on six measures assessed for both mothers and fathers: parentâs endorsement of essentialist beliefs, perceived coparenting support, and need-supportive parenting (autonomy support and responsiveness) and need-frustrating parenting (parental control and anxious overprotection). We conducted actor-partner interdependence modeling (Kenny et al. 2006) to estimate the mutual associations between mothersâ and fathersâ essentialist beliefs on the one hand, and their perceived coparenting support and parenting practices on the other hand. Five models were conducted for coparenting and the four parenting practices separately.Preliminary results showed significant associations between essentialist beliefs and parenting, as well as between essentialist beliefs and coparenting. We found several actor effects of fatherâs adherence to essentialism. Specifically, it related to less autonomy support, less responsiveness, more parental control, and more overprotection. We also found statistically significant associations for mothers. Indeed, mothersâ essentialist beliefs were associated positively to their own overprotective behaviors and negatively their report of coparenting support (i.e. actor effects). Only one significant partner effect was identified. It appeared that fathersâ essentialist beliefs were positively associated with mothersâ controlling parenting (i.e. partner effect).In other words, fathers who adhered to essentialist beliefs about parenting appeared to adopt less need-supportive and more need-frustrating parenting (actor effect). They also had partners who were more controlling (partner effect). In addition, motherâs essentialist beliefs were also associated with less perceived coparenting support (actor effect). In conclusion, our results indicate that parentsâ representations of parenthood, and thus how they respond to social norms about gender, are related to the way in which they behave as parents and coparents. By extension, personal gender beliefs may influence not only parentsâ behaviors but also overall family dynamics. To broaden our findings, we will conduct the final analyses on an estimated sample of 250 dyads.info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublishe

The relations between parentsâ gender equality values and (co)parenting: Examining actor-partner effects in an Australian community sample
In most Western societies, parentsâ gender roles and values have shifted significantly over the past decades. However, it is not yet clear whether parentsâ gender-related values impact both their own and their partnersâ coparenting and parenting practices. This study examined the relations between parentsâ gender equality values, their coparenting, and parental warmth and hostility. Drawing 6745 families from an ongoing Australian panel study, we used actor-partner interdependence modeling to estimate the associations between mothersâ and fathersâ equality values and their (co)parenting. Results revealed a significant positive partner effect of mothersâ gender equality values on fathersâ warmth and coparenting, but no significant actor effects for mothersâ or fathersâ values. We also found that mothersâ work status moderated the relationship between parentsâ values and coparenting. In conclusion, these findings suggest that it is important to consider mothersâ gender values and its transactional influence on fathersâ involvement for understanding contemporary parenting.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
Lâobservation au service de lâĂ©valuation dâune intervention brĂšve pour couples de parents
Les rĂ©sultats des thĂ©rapies de couples de parents peuvent ĂȘtre Ă©valuĂ©s sur deux dimensions principales : lâajustement conjugal et lâalliance coparentale, cette derniĂšre Ă©tant encore rarement prise en compte. Cet article sâintĂ©resse Ă lâobservation des interactions de couples de parents dans une tĂąche de rĂ©solution de problĂšme coparental, comme plus-value pour lâĂ©valuation. Les rĂ©sultats montrent que la satisfaction conjugale et lâalliance coparentale de couples de parents (N = 34) Ă©voluent au cours de la thĂ©rapie suivant deux profils : les couples en dĂ©tresse qui sâamĂ©liorent et les couples prospĂšres avant et aprĂšs la thĂ©rapie. Des Ă©lĂ©ments dâobservation concernant lâaccord, la compĂ©tition et la rĂ©solution de problĂšme sont en lien avec ces profils dâĂ©volution des couples. Cette Ă©tude dĂ©montre que les donnĂ©es dâobservation complĂštent avantageusement lâĂ©valuation par questionnaire dans la mesure oĂč elles sont valides du point de vue empirique tout en Ă©tant significatives et utiles pour le clinicien.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
