What practical support would make it easier to respond patiently in a stressful setting?
Caregivers’ emotion expression is examined under the pressures of homelessness. This keeps material constraints in view when discussing emotional availability.
Who was studied?
One hundred and eight primary caregivers living with their young children in emergency housing.
Age / stage: Ages 4–6
Read with three questions
- Which features of life in emergency housing could affect the meaning of parents’ answers?
- Which parts of the interaction were directly observed and which were inferred or reported?
- What practical support would make it easier to respond patiently in a stressful setting?
Keep the limits in view
The study measures behaviors or experiences in a particular sample and setting. It cannot establish the effect of changing a response in an individual family.
