Summary
Family homelessness significantly impacts parenting, leading to restricted and remote parental engagement. Parenting forms vary, from maintained authority in at-risk families to total disruption in those experiencing homelessness.
Area of Science:
- Sociology
- Family Studies
- Social Work
Background:
- Family homelessness presents complex challenges, including negative health outcomes and altered family dynamics.
- Parental separation from children is a significant consequence of family homelessness.
- Understanding parenting in the context of homelessness is crucial for support interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore and understand the nature of parenting in families at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness.
- To identify how the circumstances of homelessness shape parenting practices and parental roles.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative research paradigm.
- Grounded Theory methodology (Strauss and Corbin's version).
- Analysis of data from families experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
Main Results:
- Three core categories emerged: 'Meaning of Parenthood', 'Key Events', and 'Transition Circumstances'.
- Parenting is often restricted and remote, influenced by individual, family, and societal factors.
- Specific parenting forms identified include 'Remote Parenting with Maintained Parental Authority', 'Restricted Parenting', 'Unilateral Remote Parenting', 'Interrupted Parenting', and 'Total Disruption of Parenting'.
Conclusions:
- Parenting in families affected by homelessness is significantly constrained and often remote.
- The specific form of parenting is contingent upon the family's proximity to or experience of homelessness.
- Interventions must consider the diverse and often disrupted nature of parenting in these vulnerable families.

Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.

Family therapy conceptualizes psychological challenges as arising from dysfunctional interactions within the family unit, rather than as isolated issues within individuals. This approach seeks to address and transform the patterns of communication, roles, and relationships within families to promote healthier dynamics and emotional well-being for all members.

02:30Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

14.0K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...
