Project description

This project aims to investigate the development of parental identity in terms of well-being and parenting style of first-time parents during the transition to parenthood. Findings from this project may inform future preventions and interventions targeting parents‟ pre- and postnatal adjustment, to the benefit of both parents and their children‟s early development.
