Multigenerational stress and nuclear family functioning

Abstract: This longitudinal study tested Bowen theory's assumption that stressors in the interdependent multigenerational family influence variation in nuclear family functioning. Forty-nine newly developing nuclear families and their multigenerational families were studied over five years. Quantitative analysis demonstrated an association between the perceived impact of multigenerational stressors and variation in nuclear family functioning. Multigenerational stressors, as compared to individual or nuclear family stres… Show more

“…Theories such as Bowen theory (see Klever 2005 for an overview), the ABCX model of family stress (e.g., McCubbin and Patterson 1983;McCubbin et al 1980), family systems theory (e.g., Broderick 1993), the family stress approaches developed by Walker (1985) and by Conger and Elder (1994) and others link closely with some of the positions presented here. There are two points to underscore.…”

“…Such reorganization might involve the sharing of family 'secrets', e.g. the disclosure of the nature of the death of a family member to others in the (extended) family that facilitate honest and intimate communication within the family (Klever, 2005;Rober, Walravens, & Versteynen, 2012).…”

“…Family systems theory (Kerr & Bowen, 1988) and research (e.g., Hurst, Sawatzky, & Pare, 1996; Klever, 2005) suggest that continuities exist in the family emotional process observed across generations of a family. These “multigenerational trends in functioning reflect an orderly and predictable relationship process that connects the functioning of family members across generations” (Kerr & Bowen, 1988, p. 224).…”
