April Leininger (UCLA)
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.

DIRECTIONS TO THE MARIAL CENTER

The MARIAL Center is located on the 4th floor of the main building of Emory's Briarcliff Campus, 1256 Briarcliff Rd. From the main campus, take North Decatur Road to Briarcliff Road, turn left, and the Briarcliff Campus will be on your right. There is ample parking close to the building. The Emory shuttle (Route A) provides transportation from the main campus to the MARIAL Center every 20 minutes (a 5-10 minute ride). For the shortest travel time, board the shuttle in front of the B. Jones Center or at the corner of Dowman and Fishburne (across from Glenn Memorial) at approximately 4, 24, and 44 minutes after each hour. A complete schedule and the route map are available on the web at http://www.epcs.emory.edu/AltTransp/route-a.htm

Please tell the receptionist at the front window that you are here for the MARIAL Center lecture.
