• Unyielding hearts: parental adaptation and resilience among families of children with autism in China (2026) · Frontiers in Psychology · doi

  Future research should examine whether the cycle–divergence adaptation model While the study traces parental adaptation across different stages through retrospective interviews and observation, it is a cross-sectional study and cannot capture long-term longitudinal changes in resilience and adaptation. Future research should explore how parental resilience influences child outcomes and how child outcomes, in turn, shape parental resilience—an important direction for family-centered positive psychology interventions.

• From community support to subjective well-being: an integrative moderated mediation model of resilience and parenting stress in rural contexts (2026) · Frontiers in Psychology · doi

  The study faces challenges in measuring subjective well-being and psychological resilience in rural parents. The research must account for the complex dual responsibilities of structural socio-economic transition and intensive family education in rural contexts. The study needs to address potential threats from Common Method Bias and ensure the validity of the measurement model.

• The Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Youth’s Mental Health: What is the Role of Family Resilience? (2026) · Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma · doi

  There is a need to understand the mechanisms through which adverse childhood experiences are linked to mental health consequences in youth. Family resilience can play a critical role in mitigating the negative effects of adverse childhood experiences on mental health, but its role is not well understood. Prior research has not fully explored the potential of family-oriented approaches for effective trauma prevention and youth mental health interventions.

• From community support to subjective well-being: an integrative moderated mediation model of resilience and parenting stress in rural contexts (2026) · Frontiers in Psychology · doi

  The statistical pathways that may account for the association between external community resources and internal well-being—and the boundary conditions of this process—remained underexplored. The role of psychological resilience as a statistical mediator of this association is not well understood. The moderating effect of parenting stress on the latter stage of the indirect association is not well studied.
