The family can be a model of loving support, a crucible of
pathology, or some blend of the two. Across disciplines, it is also
the basic unit for studying human relationships, patterns of
behavior, and influence on individuals and society. As family
structures evolve and challenge previous societal norms, new means
are required for understanding their dynamics, and for improving
family interventions and policies. Emerging Methods in Family
Research details innovative approaches designed to keep researchers
apace with the diversity and complexities of today's families. This
versatile idea-book offers meaningful new ways to represent
multiple forms of diversity in family structure and process,
cutting-edge updates to family systems models and measurement
methods, and guidance on the research process, from designing
projects to analyzing findings. These chapters provide not only new
frameworks for basic research on families, but also prime examples
of their practical use in intervention and policy studies.
Contributors also consider the similarities and differences between
the study of individuals and the study of family relationships and
systems. Included in the coverage: Use of nonlinear dynamic models
to study families as coordinated symbiotic systems. Use of network
models for understanding change and diversity in the formal
structure of American families. Representing trends and
moment-to-moment variability in dyadic and family processes using
state-space modeling techniques. Why qualitative and ethnographic
methods are essential for understanding family life. Methods in
multi-site trials of family-based interventions. Implementing the
Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) to analyze the effects of
family interventions. Researchers in human development, family
studies, clinical and developmental psychology, social psychology,
sociology, anthropology, and social welfare as well as public
policy researchers will welcome Emerging Methods in Family Research
as a resource to inspire novel approaches to studying families.
