Ambiguous Loss for Cambodian American Deportees and Their Families
Through an Ambiguous Loss framework, this study examines how family members in the United States and in Cambodia process grief and cope with deportation and separation. The ongoing sense of loss can result in families feeling stuck, continually dealing with the ambiguity of whether their deported family member is in or out of the family. Individual and group interviews conducted with family members in the United States and in Cambodia revealed th…
Immigrant Family Financial and Relationship Stress From the Covid-19 Pandemic
Transnational Couples Parenting in the United States
Over a million people migrate and resettle in the United States every year. Subsequent to the diversification of the U.S. population is a rising rate in transnational marriage. Juxtaposed with the increasing prevalence of intermarriage are historical restrictions and continued antipathy of such marriages and the families that they build. Using a phenomenological design, this study explored how transnational couples experience their parent and par…
Family stress and coping in the experience of employment precarity
Employment stability has been the experience for many wage‐labor participants in the United States, characterized by wage adequacy, scheduling certainty, and work autonomy. However, employment contracts increasingly include precarious work factors such as short‐term work arrangements, nonstandard hours, and decreased access to healthcare and family supportive benefits. Prior family stress research theorized economic hardship as an emergent crisis…
Grief experiences in parents of adult children with serious mental illness
Because of systemic changes in mental health treatment since deinstitutionalization, parents have taken on more involved roles for their children with serious mental illness (SMI), even when their children have reached young adulthood. However, the changes in parental roles and relationships with their adult children with SMI, and the grief that stems from those changes, have not been adequately reflected in research or treatment interventions. S…
Associations Between Familism and Psychological Adjustment Among Korean Emerging Adults
In this study, we investigated whether and how familism was linked to Korean emerging adults' psychological adjustment (i.e., depressive symptoms and life satisfaction) through multiple mediators. Our mediators were two aspects of parent-child relationships-conformity to parental expectations and parent-child affection-and differentiation of self, a key concept in Bowen's family systems theory. The data came from 420 South Korean university stude…

Ambiguous Loss Due to Separation in Voluntary Transnational Families
This theoretical review explores the usefulness of the ambiguous loss framework for understanding the unique and complex realities of boundary‐spanning relationships in transnational families. Transnational family processes and interactions are those carried out in both the country of origin and the destination country. We first discuss the distinctive characteristics of ambiguous loss that can impact transnational family experiences in today's g…
Exploring the Relationship of Economic, Sociological, and Psychological Factors to the Savings Behavior of Low‐ to Moderate‐Income Households
Applying a multidisciplinary approach, this study examined economic, sociological, and psychological concepts to understand individual savings behavior with a national sample of low‐ to moderate‐income families (N = 826). Multinomial logistic regression results showed that some of the economic, sociological, and psychological factors were statistically significant in explaining whether a person had only a savings account or both savings and inves…
Family Influences on Goals, Remittance Use, and Settlement of Mexican Immigrant Agricultural Workers in Minnesota
International migration to seek work and remit money home is an increasingly common family strategy to overcome financial hardship. However, little is understood about family involvement in the decision to leave or how family circumstances influence migration. This qualitative study analyzed narratives of 17 agricultural workers in Minnesota and 17 of their family members in Mexico to describe their migration experiences. Results show how goals, …

Understanding Generational Differences in Financial Literacy in Hmong Immigrant Families
The purpose of this study was to describe financial literacy in two‐generation Hmong immigrant families. Interviews with 7 pairs of parents and their young adult children provided evidence that families were adapting to the U.S. economic system while maintaining important cultural values and practices. Hmong parents prioritized traditional values and practices of sharing resources, living simply, saving regularly, and avoiding debt. Young adult c…
Stress and Performance Standards
Daily logs collected over a 10-week period from a small, nonrepresentative sample of young, childless married couples were examined. Housework was conceptualized as a daily decision predicated upon personal standards, social rhythms, and stress variables that shape the perception of need for housework. Findings indicate that home-based stress, stress from outside the home, and standards are independent, additive predictors of housework time. In a…
Satisfaction With Performance of Housework
Where previous research on satisfaction with housework has examined satisfaction with relative allocations, this study examined spouses' satisfaction with their own performance. The authors found that satisfaction was a function of time spent, quality of outcomes, stress originating both at home and away, and approval by spouses for performance. Time spent and quality of outcomes were related in a complex fashion to satisfaction with own performa…
Development of the Parent Self-Evaluation Instrument
Parenting measures have been used most commonly for research and clinical evaluation, with little practical application for parent self-evaluation and education. To help parents assess their parenting strengths and skills and be better directed in their information seeking the Parent Self-evaluation Instrument was developed. The framework and dimensions of this scale are based on the National Extension Parent Education Model. A panel of 23 parent…
Stress as a Driver of the Allocation of Housework
This study examines the allocation of housework dynamically. Over 10 weeks, a small sample of young married couples used daily logs to report housework time in 6 tasks and the levels of stress they experienced at home and in other role settings. Stress was hypothesized to drive time allocations by spilling over from one setting to another or by crossing over from one spouse to the other. Results supported the hypothesis. For both spouses, less ho…
