Compliance with Ethical Standards
:
: Anna Smout, Rebecca S. Lazarus, and Jennifer L. Hudson declare that they have no conflict of interest.
: All procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the Macquarie University Human Ethics Committee. Informed consent was obtained from all individual subjects participating in the study.
: No animal studies were carried out by the authors for this article. Sample 2 participants were invited to complete an online questionnaire of approximately 30 min duration. After providing informed consent, participants provided demographic information and completed the parenting scales (CPBQ-EA, s-EMBU) separately for each parent, and the anxiety scales (DASS-21, SIAS) via the online survey platform, Qualtrics. Branched logic was applied to the questionnaire, whereby if participants indicated that their family composition included two mothers, they received two mother versions of each parenting scale. If they indicated a single parent household, they only completed one of each parenting measure. Participants from the psychology participant pool were reimbursed with course credit for their time, and external participants were reimbursed by going in the draw to win 1 of 3 $50 gift vouchers.
