What communicates warmth to someone preparing to leave home?
For the Kindness section, this study offers a way to examine parental warmth measured at age 18 and later emotional wellbeing.
Who was studied?
2,697 participants in two waves of the Swedish Futura01 cohort
Age / stage: Late adolescence to young adulthood
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate parental warmth measured at age 18 and later emotional wellbeing?
- At what ages were each of the family measures and child outcomes actually collected?
- How much detail about a family’s warmth can two questions at age eighteen capture?
Keep the limits in view
Warmth and parental knowledge were each measured with two items at age 18. They represent a narrow developmental window.
