Promoting socioemotional development in early childhood: implementation and eva...
Veríssimo, Manuela; Guedes, Maryse; Fernandes, Marilia; Fernandes, Carla; Santos, Carolina; Diniz, Eva; Oliveira, Paula; Negrão, MarianaBackground: The prevention of internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems in children is a critical scientific and public health priority. Research highlights maternal sensitivity—defined as a caregiver’s ability to perceive, interpret, and respond appropriately to their child’s cues—and consistent but non-coercive discipline as key factors in reducing these behavioral issues. The Video-feedback Interve...
What makes fathers involved? Fathers’ time, education, and cooperative coparenting
Diniz, Eva; Pais Brandão, Tânia Raquel; Verissimo, ManuelaFather involvement is considered multidetermined, being influenced by personal and family characteristics. These variables, however, are rarely examined together, leaving unclear what makes fathers involved. A multilevel dyadic approach was used to examine the relationship between fathers’ and mothers’ demographics, parenting stress, coparenting, and father involvement among dual-earner couples (n=311 dyads). F...
Mothers’ responses to children’s emotions and children’s behavior: The mediatin...
Rolo, Catarina; Diniz, Eva; Babore, Alessandra; Brandão, TâniaABSTRACT: While prior research has clearly established links between maternal responses and children’s emotion regulation (ER), the implications of these links for children’s behaviors, especially at school (as reported by their teachers), remain much less explored. This study examined the mediating role of children’s ER in the relationship between maternal reactions to both negative and positive emotions of ch...

Nóblega, Magaly; Monteiro, Lígia; Santos, Carolina; Diniz, Eva; Guimet, Marisut; Ugarte, Andrea; Marinelli, FrancescoABSTRACT: Evidence shows that fathers have an important role in child development, but few studies explore this influence in the Latin American context. This study aimed to contribute to bridge this gap by analyzing in a Peruvian urban, mainly middle socioeconomic sample, the associations between different dimensions of father engagement (i.e., interaction in direct care, teaching/discipline, and play activitie...

Diniz, Eva; Monteiro, Lígia; Veríssimo, ManuelaThe balance between work and family demands is one of the main challenges of contemporary parenting. However, most of the research has focused on mothers’ perspectives, with fathers’ perspectives about the links between work–family activities and father involvement, as well as the role of indirect effects, such as parenting styles, being less explored. This study aims to bridge these gaps by exploring whether w...
Attachment to mother and father, sleep, and well-being in late middle childhood
Perpétuo, Catarina; El Sheikh, Mona; Diniz, Eva; Verissimo, ManuelaThe security of attachment has been related to several advantageous developmental outcomes, such as good sleep quality and higher well-being indicators. However, few studies concern the associations between attachment dimensions to both parents, sleep, and well-being in late middle childhood. Our study aims to expand knowledge in this area, clarifying the above-mentioned associations by considering the secure b...
Father involvement and maternal stress: The mediating role of coparenting
D'Orsi, Dora; Veríssimo, Manuela; Diniz, Eva: In recent years mothers have been finding themselves overwhelmed by the need to balance work and maternal duties. Father involvement in childcare has been related to a decrease in mother’s burden in childcare. This association is influenced by multiple aspects, such as the way parents share parenting perspectives and views about child rearing, i.e., coparenting. Nevertheless, the mediating role of coparenting...
(De)humanizing metaphors of people in pain and their association with the perce...
Diniz, Eva; Castro, Paula; Bernardes, Sónia F.Metaphors are central in communication and sense-making processes in health-related contexts. Yet how the metaphors used by health-care-professionals to make sense of their patients and their relations to them are associated to the perceived valence of their clinical encounters is underexplored. Drawing-upon the ABC Model of Dehumanization, this study investigated how the humanizing or dehumanizing metaphors nu...
