Family Systems and Processes

HDFS faculty approach the study of family system functioning across different family structures and subsystems; and the processes that underlie the health and well-being of the family and the individuals within it. Faculty study parent-child relationships, couple relationships, sibling relationships, and family-level relationships and employ cutting-edge design and methods to through the use of long-term longitudinal (macro time) and intensive longitudinal (e.g., ecological momentary assessment) data to advance understanding of how families function and shape the lives of those involved.
