New Directions in Work-Family Coping Research
Expanding the Boundaries of Work-Family Research, 2013Co-Authors: Debra A. Major, Heather M. Lauzun, Mahan P. JonesAbstract:A copious amount of research has been conducted on the antecedents and outcomes of work—Family conflict. Research on Coping with this conflict has been much more limited. This chapter provides an assessment of the work—Family Coping literature primarily through the lens of research presented at the International Conferences of Work and Family. In particular, we review the literature on individual work—Family Coping strategies and the agents involved in multiple role managing. While envisioning future work—Family Coping research, we offer a model rooted in the emerging idiosyncratic deals literature. The need for research on preventive Coping and “non-rational” Coping mechanisms is also discussed. Methodological recommendations for the future of work—Family Coping research are offered.

Coping with work-Family conflict: A leader-member exchange perspective.
Journal of occupational health psychology, 2011Co-Authors: Debra A. Major, Valerie J. MorgansonAbstract:Leader-member exchange (LMX) theory is applied as a framework for understanding Coping with work-Family conflict. The effectiveness of four work-Family Coping strategies (i.e., preventive and episodic forms of both problem-focused and emotion-focused Coping) is considered with emphasis on how the LMX relationship contributes to each form of Coping with work interference with Family. The LMX-based model of work-Family Coping accounts for the development of Family-friendly work roles, use of organizational Family-friendly policies, and the negotiation of flextime and flexplace accommodations. Constraints on the relationship between LMX and work-Family Coping associated with supervisor authority and resources and aspects of the organizational context are also discussed. Research and applied implications of the model are offered.

Strengthening Family Coping resources: the feasibility of a multiFamily group intervention for families exposed to trauma.
Journal of traumatic stress, 2010Co-Authors: Laurel J. Kiser, April Donohue, Stacy Hodgkinson, Deborah R. Medoff, Maureen M. BlackAbstract:Families exposed to urban poverty face a disproportionate risk of exposure to repeated trauma. Repeated exposures can lead to severe and chronic reactions in multiple Family members with effects that ripple throughout the Family system. Interventions for distressed families residing in traumatic contexts, such as low-income, urban settings are desperately needed. This report presents preliminary data in support of Strengthening Family Coping Resources, a trauma-focused, multiFamily, skill-building intervention. Strengthening Family Coping Resources is designed for families living in traumatic contexts with the goal of reducing symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder and other trauma-related disorders in children and caregivers. Results from open trials suggest Strengthening Family Coping Resources is a feasible intervention with positive effects on children's symptoms of trauma-related distress.

The Optimalization of Family Coping n Caring for Mental Retardation Children through Family Psychoeducation in Jombang
KnE Life Sciences, 2019Co-Authors: Shanti Rosmaharani, I Noviana, A SusilowatiAbstract:Background:Children with Mental retardation have intellectual limitations which cause dependency. The limitation of mentally retarded children becomes a stressor for the Family which can affect the Family’s ability to provide care. So that adaptive Coping is needed, so families can provide optimal care. Family psychoeducation is a way that can optimize Family Coping. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of Family psychoeducation on Coping in treating children with mental retardation. Methods: The design of this study was quasi experimental pre-post test with control group of Family psychoeducation intervention. The Family population who had mental retardation children in Jombang was 277. While the sample was taken using a simple random sampling technique as many as 140 families with a distribution of 70 families as the control group and 70 families as the treatment group. The independent variable was Family psychoeducation and the dependent variable was Family Coping in treating children with mental retardation. This study used the Wilcoxon statistical test in the treatmentgroup0.001whichfollowedbyaMannWhitneydifferencetestwhichshowed the results of ρ value (0.000)<α (0.05). Result: The results showed that there was an effect of Family psychoeducation on Family Coping in treating children with mental retardation. Family psychoeducation provided information through a psychological approach to the care of children. Conclusion/implication: Families are expected not only understand the care of children with mental retardation but also improve Family Coping mechanisms so that psychosocial problems in the Family are resolved properly.

Family stressor events, Family Coping, and adolescent adaptation in farm and ranch families.
Adolescence, 1999Co-Authors: Scott W. Plunkett, Carolyn S. Henry, Patricia K. KnaubAbstract:Data from 77 adolescents in farm and ranch families were used to examine the relationship of demographic variables, Family stressor events, and Family Coping strategies to adolescent adaptation. Results indicated that adolescent age and Family transitions were positively related to individual stress. Males reported less Family stress than did females. Seeking spiritual support was negatively related to Family stress, while the perceived impact of the farm crisis was positively related to Family stress. Family support was positively related, and Family substance use issues were negatively related, to adolescent satisfaction with Family life. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Family stressor events Family Coping and adolescent adaptation in farm and ranch families
Adolescence, 1999Co-Authors: Scott W. Plunkett, Carolyn S. Henry, Patricia K. KnaubAbstract:Beginning in the late 1970s and continuing through the 1980s, farm and ranch families in the United States faced a period of economic distress commonly referred to as the "farm crisis" (Keating, 1987). Despite extensive economic adversity in major agricultural areas, the adaptation of families varied widely. The emphasis of much of the research on these families has been on the vulnerability of adults to individual and Family stress. Yet, as Jurich and Russell (1987) observed, children and adolescents were also vulnerable. Understanding rural communities today requires knowledge of the historical context (Little, Proulx, Marlowe, & Knaub, 1987). American farm families have a long history of economic hardships (Little et al., 1987), and future periods of economic instability are possible due to adverse weather or changes in market conditions (McCubbin, Thompson, Thompson, & Elver, 1994). Further exploration of data gathered during the farm crisis can thus provide valuable insights for Family life professionals. Using information collected in the mid-1980s, the present study utilized Family stress theory to explore adaptation of adolescents in farm and ranch families. Specifically, it examined the relationship of selected demographic variables, Family stressor events, and Family Coping strategies to three indicators of adolescent adaptation (individual stress, Family stress, and Family life satisfaction). ADOLESCENT ADAPTATION Family Stress Theory According to Family stress theory, there are several indicators of Family adaptation to stressor events. One is the adaptation of individual Family members, including adolescents (McCubbin & Patterson, 1983). Olson et al. (1983) and McCubbin et al. (1988) have noted that such factors as the perceived levels of individual and Family stress serve as markers of adaptation. Thus, adaptation encompasses a variety of variables, including adolescents' perceptions of their own level of stress and their perceptions of stress in the overall Family unit. Research has revealed relationships between stress in rural families and several indicators of adaptation, such as Family violence, substance abuse, and suicide (Davidson, 1990; Jurich & Russell, 1987; Lasley, 1994). Another indicator of adaptation is the degree of Family life satisfaction (Henry, 1994; McCubbin, Thompson, Pirner, & McCubbin, 1988). Research has found that adolescent satisfaction with Family life is related to increased emotional disclosure with parents (Papini, Farmer, Clark, Micka, & Barnett, 1990), greater compliance with parental expectations (Schumm, Bugaighis, Jurich, & Bollman, 1986), increased quality of life (Schumm, Bugaighis, Bollman, & Jurich, 1986), and overall life satisfaction (Olson et al, 1983). Farm and ranch families are often characterized by interaction patterns that encompass both Family dynamics and business functions (Lasley, 1994), and additional information is needed on the satisfaction of adolescents within these families. Based on Family stress theory, variations in adolescent adaptation are explained by the nature of Family stressor events, existing resources, and Family definitions (McCubbin & Patterson, 1983). Family Coping strategies represent a combination of the meaning families attribute to events and how they utilize resources as they attempt to manage stressor events (McCubbin, Larsen, & Olson, 1982). Family Stressor Events McCubbin and McCubbin (1989) observed that Family stress rarely occurs in a vacuum. Rather, families under stress often encounter a pileup of stressors, or an accumulation of life events or transitions that place demands upon the Family system. Change occurring for any Family member may have implications for other members and the overall Family system. Peeks (1989), for example, noted that transitions in farm families may result in the inability of Family members to reorganize successfully, increased feelings of depression, loss of self-esteem, increased behavior problems, and heightened levels of stress. …
