LOVE AND WORK IN
L.A.: RESPONSES TO FRUSTRATION IN THE INTERPERSONAL WORLDS OF
WORKING FAMILIES
Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2002 3:00-5:00 p.m.
The financial and time constraints on working families present
family members with frequent frustrations in their daily lives.
While the sources of these frustrations may often be social
structural and historical, their immediate management is interpersonal
and intrapsychic. April Leininger, a postdoctoral fellow at
the UCLA Center on Everyday Lives of Families, explores these
issues by analyzing videotaped family interactions. She seeks
to identify what the most frequent frustrations are (what
are the things that are wanted and what proximal factors prevent
the satisfaction of these desires) and how these frustrations
are responded to by the self and by family members. This research
grows out of her dissertation research with Vietnamese American
families, in which she examined the role of culture in adult
children's experience of and processing of motivational states
that conflicted with their parents' wishes.
