- Abstract
- To understand the experience of child development or parenting, both must be situated within theirenvironment: the family system, or even sociocultural system (see Super & Harkness, 1976). Given thecomplexity of these systems, it is necessary to combine diff erent levels of granularity (i.e., centered onindividual perceptions; on interactions within the family system; on how culture structures theseinteractions) with varied advanced research methods. This symposium invites junior researchers toshare a diversity of perspectives, via recent studies that attempt to disentangle the complexity withinfamilies and societies. First, Annelise Blanchard will present a study (preprint:https://psyarxiv.com/aef27/) that examines how parents’ exhaustion, emotional distance and feelingsof being fed up interact with their perceptions of their children’s and co-parent’s behavior, as well asthe wider family context. Forty-seven parents answered daily questions about their parentingexperience and family context over 56 days. Data were analyzed using multilevel vector-autoregressive models and visualized as networks. Results suggest that exhaustion could contributeto parents feeling burned out: exhaustion self-predicts and forms a feedback loop with feeling fed-upand finding children diff icult to manage.
