Relational Trajectories from Parent and Child to Grandparent and New Parent
This qualitative study follows earlier research of new parents (Dun & Sangster, 2013) to explore grandparents’ understanding of communication with their adult children during the arrival of a new generation. In semistructured interviews, 29 grandparents described positive and negative interactions with a child (or child-in-law). Participants graphed changes in the intergenerational relationship with the first-time parents, from the moment the pre…
Millennials’ Media Use
A transmedia diary tracked the media use of 388 Canadian university students, documenting the various ways they migrated across a range of devices and platforms as well as online and off-line sites during a typical day. The study suggests that media are used for entertainment, but also predominantly for socializing. The tendency to employ media for socializing is neither trivial nor alienating. It is a sign of a time when assembling sociality has…
Turning Points in Parent-Grandparent Relationships During the Start of a New Generation
The transition to parenthood is a pivotal life event. Becoming parents affects many family relationships, although the bulk of research has emphasized marriage and parents' relationships to their newborn. The current study is a qualitative analysis of new parents' relationships with their parents, the new grandparents. Twenty-three first-time parents completed semistructured interviews during which each identified changes in their relationship wi…
Communication and Self-Expansion
Building from Aron and Aronâ€TMs (2000) Self-Expansion Model, this study was designed to explore the ways that communication in close relationships forms the self. Ninety-two participants (males = 23, females = 68, mean age = 22.2 years) completed a semi-structured, retrospective questionnaire on the ways that a close friendship or romantic relationship had changed who they were as a person. Data were inductively analyzed to describe both the con…
Rules for Relating Communicated among Social Network Members
Two studies were conducted on the rules of relating communicated in the social network interactions of young adults. Study 1 involved 68 university students who completed a two week diary recording interactions with others in which rules for conducting relationships were communicated. In general, rules for relating tended to be communicated among same-sex dyads or triads through advice-giving, sanctioning, and gossip. Rules dealt primarily with r…
Cognition During Marital Conflict
This article describes and analyzes the stream of thought occurring concurrently with overt communication about marital conflict. The research considers how marital conflicts may be affected by selective attention to different elements of conflict (different emotions, issues, interactional behaviors, and background events) and by spontaneous attributions about communicative intentions and outcomes. One hundred eighteen couples discussed a current…
