“…Thus, the parents' critical stance toward rules is based upon a more long-term perspective or project (Marshall et al, 2011) aiming at educating their children to be able to handle their own choices. Stringency was considered as being in opposition to a democratic relationship within the family.…”

“…In their view, rules oppose the development of the independent, young adult and therefore need to be replaced by trust. Thus, the parents’ critical stance toward rules is based upon a more long-term perspective or project (Marshall et al, 2011) aiming at educating their children to be able to handle their own choices. The present case has described some paradoxical logics of enabling adolescent children to handle complex self-management issues in a potentially risky arena such as alcohol use.…”

Communicating Trust Between Parents and Their Children

This article discusses how Danish parents and their children communicate trust. Based on Niklas Luhmann's sociological theory, the article explores new aspects of communication about alcohol-related rules. The analysis shows how the parents emphasize the importance of communicating trust, while the adolescents, on the other hand, observe the parents' communication on the basis of their own, more instrumental, logic. Trust becomes a functional solution to the parents' paradoxical situation, because it enables them to balance between a democratic family ideal, emphasizing the adolescents' independence, while taking care of risk behavior. The article draws on Danish qualitative data comprising 37 focus group interviews with adolescents (14-16 years of age) and six focus group interviews with parents.

“…That is, projects such as transferring governance from parents to the young adult are manifested or enacted in unique and particular ways in each family (Young et al, 2008). In some families, for example, personal and family survival may come to the forefront as the project that youth engage in as they move toward becoming adults (Marshall, Zaidman-Zait, Logan, Lee, & Young, 2011).…”

“…In addition, specific methodological articles (Young et al, 2005; Marshall et al, 2012) offer detailed explanations of A-PM. A careful study of these articles in combination with how A-PM has been used in various studies (e.g., Marshall et al, 2011; Young et al, 2007, 2008, 2011a, 2015) will aid those interested in learning A-PM.…”

Understanding Goal-Directed Action in Emerging Adulthood

This article describes an alternative framework for conceptualizing and researching emerging adulthood based on the notions of goal-directed processes. Specifically, contextual action theory (CAT) is proposed to add value to understanding transition-toadulthood processes because of its emphasis on description, intentional action, and relational context. A related naturalistic, longitudinal method, the action-project method (A-PM), is used to study joint, goal-directed actions and projects (multiple actions over time). The A-PM qualitatively describes joint projects of emerging adults and those involved with them by relying on three perspectives of action: manifest behavior, internal processes, and social meaning. The method consists of video recording joint action between participants, accessing internal processes of action through a video playback interview, and monitoring joint projects over time. This conceptualization and method have been used to describe the joint goal-directed processes inherent in emerging adulthood including parent-youth relationships, friendship, identity formation, and school-work transitions.

“…The A-PM has been adapted and used in many settings, such as learning institutions (Marshall et al, 2020; Marshall et al,2011; Marshall et al 2014; Wall et al, 2019; Young et al, 1999; Zaidman-Zait et al, 2014), community meetings rooms (Young et al, 2001), private homes (Marshall et al, 2018) and counselling offices (Marshall et al, 2008; Young et al, 2011, 2021). In these studies, researchers used the method to explore how socially connected partners act separately and together to navigate day-to-day life.…”

The Action Project Method Applied in Nursing Home Settings

The Action-Project Method (A-PM) is a qualitative research approach used to understand the actions and experiences co-constructed by individuals. We applied the A-PM in a nursing home (NH) setting with the aim to explore how NH residents and the people closest to them describe their priorities for care and act on these priorities. Due to the health of residents, the demands on staff and family members, and general issues around scheduling, applying the A-PM in the setting required adaptations. The core focus of this article is on the necessary adaptations to apply the A-PM in a NH setting. (1) The A-PM is typically longitudinal with multiple data collection cycles; however, given the circumstances surrounding the residents’ health and the highly structured institutional setting, we opted for a single round of data collection. (2) During recruitment, three residents asked to participate alone, which we accommodated to acknowledge their experiences. (3) The setting posed challenges to data collection such as ensuring privacy and avoiding interruptions, but these challenges often reinforced participants’ experiences. With the necessary adaptations the A-PM in NHs gives voice to participants while contextualizing that within their core relationships.
