| Popis: | In this study, we evaluate whether the use of dynamic characteristics of the family provides new and important information when conceptualizing the family context of adolescents. Using 21 days of daily diary data from adolescents (N=151; 61.59% female; mean age = 14.60 years) in two-caregiver households, we quantified between-family differences in the extent to which their experiences of family cohesion and conflict fluctuate from day to day. We included these estimates of consistency in family cohesion and conflict, along with traditional survey assessments of dispositional family cohesion and conflict, in a latent profile analysis to identify subgroups of families with distinct combinations of dispositional and consistency in family cohesion and conflict. We next assessed how these profiles were differentially associated with emotion regulation, internalizing symptoms, problem behaviors, and well-being at baseline and at a 12-month follow-up. Results revealed four distinct family profiles with unique associations with outcomes. By considering both dispositional and consistency in family cohesion and family conflict and how these four factors cluster within families to differing degrees, we better capture the richness of the family context and highlight the implications for understanding its role in adolescent well-being. |
