... Similarly, the presence of internal motivation in this type of student empowers them from goal setting to evaluation (Egorov & Zakharova, 2022). They are also known for their critical thinking abilities (Uus et al., 2022) and their ability to resist mental distractions and inhibit impulsive responses (Yarbrough & Hughes, 2022).

... Research suggests that interfaith couples are expected to experience more conflict communication than same-faith marriages. Results from a study done on 328 people involved in interfaith marriages concluded that there is a significant correlation between religious orientation and communication and conflict behaviors (Hughes, 2004). Looking at how interfaith partners carry out their respective faiths and incorporate these practices into their every day lives may help us to understand the impact religion has on the relational facets of interfaith marriages (Hughes & Dickson, 2005). ...

... Families not only experience disruptions through divorce. They may also experience the introduction of new intimate relationships into the family system when parents form later-life romantic or sexual pairings (Dickson & Hughes, 2014). Such transitions not only present opportunities for relational turbulence in parent-child relationships in later life, but other types of family dyads may also encounter similar dynamics, such as grandchildren, remarried grandparents (King, 2003), or later-life step-siblings (Mikucki-Enyart & Peterson, 2022). ...

... However, research on the trajectories of post-dissolution relationships shows that turning points in these relationships are often marked by positive (e.g., emotional support, civility) or negative forms of communication (e.g., disrespect, conflict, harassment) (Frisby et al., 2014;Koenig Kellas et al., 2008). Further, recent evidence suggests more positive forms of communication between expartners is associated with greater satisfaction with this communication (Lambert & Hughes, 2018) as well as post-dissolution adjustment (Herrero et al., 2020). Generally then, antagonistic communication or unwanted pursuit likely exacerbates distress (Dardis et al., 2021), whereas positive and supportive communication could alleviate distress. ...

... Additionally, scholars suggest that Black college women build joyful and life-sustaining friendships that increase their understanding of history, self, and community (Alexander & Bodenhorn, 2015;S. Davis, 2018;Hughes, & Heuman, 2006;Reavis et al., 2022). found that within their friendships with other Black women at PWIs, Black women processed their experiences of discrimination, built social and professional networks with Black women who had similar interests, and moved toward affirmative understandings of their intersectional identities. ...

... Several studies had shown that interfaith marriage could indeed bring happiness. One of them stated that success occurred if the interfaith couple was able to have honest communication to handle all the differences they had [17]. Furthermore, children of an interfaith couple would be able to remain successful because there was no relationship between interfaith marriage and children's self-esteem, life satisfaction, and grades in school [18]. ...
