“…This suggests that mothers who perceived a direct engagement to create or brainstorm solutions for immediate challenges reported having children with fewer behavioral adjustments. Similarly, McCubbin and McCubbin (2013) argued that among ethnic family systems, family functioning (including children's adjustment) is guided by the belief system and core values. Particularly, McCubbin and McCubbin (2013) indicated that among Japanese families in the United States, Japanese values and beliefs in family commitment influenced parent-child relationships and family dynamics.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore sojourning Japanese mothers’ perceived family resilience. The study used Walsh's Framework of Family Resilience in relation to children's behavioral adjustment, perceived stress, and marital satisfaction. Using a quantitative approach, the findings based on responses from 70 mothers revealed the importance of having a strong “belief system” as an adaptive strategy in response to family relocation. The results also indicated that perceived stress, marital satisfaction, and family resilience were significant factors of children's adjustment to the relocation. Implications and recommendations for educators and employers were discussed.

“…Our systematic review was informed and guided by perspectives that are proposed to reflect relevance and sensitivity to critical contextual processes that impact adolescents and their families, including Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory (1986), economic theory (J. Coleman, 1988;Schultz, 1974), and family systems theory (Burton, 2007;M. Coleman, Ganong, & Russell, 2013;Greef & Du Toit, 2009;Weaver & Coleman, 2010).…”

Parenting Practices in Diverse Family Structures: Examination of Adolescents’ Development and Adjustment

This article explored the implications of diverse family structures on adolescents’ adjustment, with an emphasis on whether and, if so, how diverse family structures influence and predict developmental outcomes. Family relationships within the family unit are a stronger predictor of adolescents’ development than the particular family structure. Transitions in families that result in notable reductions in effective parenting practices and economic well‐being will negatively affect youth, regardless of family structure. Family processes that promote optimal growth and development among youth in traditional two‐parent, heterosexual households work similarly for those growing up in nontraditional family structures. A conceptual model to advance this field of research is offered, and implications for research and policy are discussed.

“…Family resilience implies the capacity of a family to successfully manage challenging life circumstances-now or in the future (Walsh, 1998). Most scholars writing about family resiliency have focused on the relational processes within families as the primary basis for considering their resiliency (e.g., Black & Lobo, 2008;Becvar, 2013;Walsh, 2011). In order to better understand some of these factors, the current study asked the wives what had helped them to cope with this difficult situation, through the years.…”

This study examines the lives of wives who are living with former combat soldiers with chronic PTSD, from the subjective perspective of the wives themselves. Structured interviews with 20 wives indicated the following main results: 1) About 2/3 of the wives reported that, for a long time, they did not know what the problem with their husband was and had no idea that it was connected to his military experience. 2) All of the wives described many negative effects of their husband's situation on daily family functioning. In most cases, the wives described their husbands as handicapped individuals who could do very few things that are usually associated with normal family functioning. 3) Most wives described their husbands as "absent-present": The husband was present physically but would often detach himself from everyone around him. 4) Most wives reported suffering from anxieties of all kinds and other symptoms, which also characterized their husbands. Study results are discussed in light of relevant theories.
