- How Do Parents React When Their Children Leave Home? An Integrative Review (2014, background): “Nevertheless, many researchers failed to find differences in psychological well-being or life satisfaction between parents with residential children, including those in the launching phase, and parents in the empty-nest stage (Axelson 1960; Dykstra and Keizer 2009; Gorchoff et al. 2008; Hansen et al”
- Choosing to be Childfree: Research on the Decision Not to Parent (2012, background): “Dykstra and Keizer (2009) found that fatherhood makes a difference in some realms of older men’s well-being but it does not matter to the same extent across all life domains.”
- Insight into the Parenthood Paradox: Mental Health Outcomes of Intensive Mothering (2013, background): “On the other hand, some studies suggest that parenting has no effect on psychological well-being (Dykstra & Keizer, 2009; Koropeckyj-Cox, 1998); and other studies suggest positive outcomes (Nelson, Kuschlev, English, Dunn, Lyubomirsky, in press; Umberson & Gove, 1989).”
