DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This revised proposal from James P. McHale seeks an Independent Scientist Award (KO2) from the NICHD. The overall aim of the proposed RCA is to free the candidate from teaching and administrative duties to devote nearly full time to continue and develop further his programmatic research on early coparenting and infant development. This work has reflected an important shift in socialization theory, which prior to the mid 1990s neglected family group level organization. However, recent work documents that coparenting processes take shape during early family formation, show marked stability over time, and show prospective relations with children's social and emotional adjustment. Yet little is known about determinants of coparenting and family level dynamics, including infant effects on the developing coparental system. And despite replicated research documenting that coparental antagonism and lack of mutuality lead to child problems with impulse control, aggression, and anxiety, intervention studies capitalizing on this knowledge are not yet on the horizon. This RCA would provide a context for 5 years of programmatic work nested within an ongoing research agenda on the evolution and role of coparenting alliances in promoting infant and child adjustment and mental health. Work includes a currently active RO1 study of the transition to coparenthood and a second recently completed study of coparenting from infancy to toddlerhood.The RCA would enhance pursuit of a comprehensive model documenting when coparental dissonance is growth promoting and when it is growth stultifying for children. It would also permit the candidate to develop new evaluation and analytic skills to address data in promising new ways that expand conceptualizations of infant contributions to early family dynamics. Institutional environment is strongly supportive. Career development activities, outlined in greater detail in this resubmission, include: intensive learning about microanalysis and about translational research with leading experts, and coursework in longitudinal analysis and advanced statistical modeling.

描述（由申请人提供）：James P. McHale 的修订提案寻求 NICHD 的独立科学家奖 (KO2)。拟议的 RCA 的总体目标是将候选人从教学和行政职责中解放出来，投入几乎全部时间来继续和进一步发展他对早期共同养育和婴儿发展的规划性研究。这项工作反映了社会化理论的一个重要转变，该理论在 20 世纪 90 年代中期之前忽视了家庭群体层面的组织。然而，最近的工作表明，共同养育过程在早期家庭形成过程中形成，随着时间的推移表现出明显的稳定性，并显示出与儿童的社会和情感调整的未来关系。然而，人们对共同养育和家庭层面动态的决定因素知之甚少，包括婴儿对正在发育的共同养育系统的影响。尽管重复的研究表明，父母的对抗和缺乏相互性会导致儿童出现冲动控制、攻击性和焦虑等问题，但利用这些知识的干预研究尚未出现。该 RCA 将为 5 年的计划工作提供背景，该工作嵌套在正在进行的研究议程中，该议程涉及共同育儿联盟在促进婴儿和儿童适应和心理健康方面的演变和作用。工作包括目前正在进行的一项关于向共同父母过渡的 RO1 研究，以及最近完成的第二项关于从婴儿期到幼儿期共同抚养的研究。RCA 将加强对综合模型的追求，记录何时共同父母不和谐会促进儿童生长，何时会阻碍儿童生长。它还将使候选人能够发展新的评估和分析技能，以有希望的新方式处理数据，从而扩展婴儿对早期家庭动态贡献的概念。制度环境支撑有力。本次重新提交中更详细地概述了职业发展活动，包括：与领先专家一起深入学习微观分析和转化研究，以及纵向分析和高级统计建模课程。
