"Bidirectional effects" refers to a situation where two things are influencing each other in a two-way or reciprocal manner. It means that the relationship between these two things is not just one-sided, but they both impact and affect each other mutually.
Full definition
Therefore, there is a need for more sophisticated methodology utilizing longitudinal modeling of complex multivariate designs to allow for the estimation of
bidirectional effects between supportive relationships and adolescents» sexual risk as well as the exploration of interactions between stability and change within a mesosystem.
Thus, the current study examines
bidirectional effects of parenting, specifically harsh punishment practices and caregiver low warmth, and BPD symptoms in girls aged 14 — 17 years based on annual, longitudinal data from the Pittsburgh Girls Study (N = 2,451) in the context of child and caregiver characteristics.
Most importantly, highly susceptible children show
bidirectional effects on outcomes in contrasting low - and high - stress settings, not simply an attenuation of negative effects in low - stress circumstances.
Efforts to fully
characterize bidirectional effects between parent anxiety symptoms and risk for anxiety problems in early life would further benefit from an understanding of similarities and differences across mother — infant and father — infant associations.
To our knowledge, this work provides the first evidence
for bidirectional effects between infant negative affect and parents» anxiety symptoms during infancy.
The current study aimed to examine
immediate bidirectional effects between maternal warmth and positive affect and toddler affect in a sample of mothers varying in symptoms of depression.

Recent developments in our understanding of parenting:
Bidirectional effects, causal models, and the search for parsimony
The complex relations between coparenting and anxiety involve at least two
bidirectional effects: that from parental anxiety to coparenting and vice versa and that from child anxiety to coparenting and vice versa.
Bidirectional effects between individuals and social contexts have been found in many behavioral and cognitive domains.
Some authors emphasized
the bidirectional effects of giving and receiving massage, supporting the use of the technique as a safe and cost - effective intervention for adult — child relationships (Feijò et al., 2006).
In the current study, we examined longitudinal changes in, and
bidirectional effects between, parenting practices and child behavior problems in the context of a psychosocial treatment and 3 - year follow - up period.
Results indicated robust temporal stabilities of parenting practices and child behavior problems, in the context of treatment - related improvements, but
bidirectional effects between parenting practices and child behavior were less frequently detected.
Relationships between a parental negativity and childhood antisocial behavior over time:
A bidirectional effect model in a longitudinal genetically informative design
Our findings suggest that
bidirectional effects are relatively smaller than the temporal stability of each construct for school - age children with ODD / CD and their parents, following a multi-modal clinical intervention that is directed at both parents and children.
