Objective

This article investigates the under-researched role of work autonomy, encompassing the control over how, when and where to work, for both the entry into parenthood and the transition to a second child across different social strata in the United Kingdom.

Background

Over the past three decades, employees have gained increased work autonomy, a trend expected to persist with technological advancements. Work autonomy substantially affects the combination of paid work and family life. But its multifaceted impact on workers' fertility behavior, especially across different educational levels, has remained unclear.

Method

The study employs a sample of partnered women and men from UKHLS 2009–2019 data. Latent Class Analysis incorporates the three dimensions: job, schedule, and workplace controls to identify distinct patterns of work autonomy, which serve as key explanatory variables in event-history models for first and second-birth risks.

Results

We find no relationship between work autonomy and fertility behavior for men. For highly educated women, work autonomy is negatively related to the transition to motherhood, but positively associated with the risk of having a second child. For less educated women, the relationship between work autonomy and childbearing ranges from negative to non-significant, depending on the specific dimension of autonomy.

Conclusion

The study highlights the intricate link between work autonomy and fertility and emphasizes important social stratification in the impact of autonomy on individuals. Further research is needed to unravel the observed duality, that is, understanding the challenges posed by work autonomy for fertility, especially among childless women and those less educated.

本文调查了工作自主性的研究不足的作用，包括对如何，何时和何地工作的控制，无论是进入父母和过渡到第二个孩子在英国不同的社会阶层。在过去的三十年里，员工获得了越来越多的工作自主权，这一趋势预计将随着技术的进步而持续下去。工作自主性在很大程度上影响了有偿工作和家庭生活的结合。但它对工人生育行为的多方面影响，尤其是不同教育水平的工人，目前仍不清楚。方法本研究采用英国健康调查系统2009-2019年数据中有伴侣的女性和男性样本。潜在类分析结合了三个维度：工作、时间表和工作场所控制，以识别工作自主的不同模式，这些模式作为第一胎和第二胎风险的事件历史模型中的关键解释变量。结果工作自主性与男性生育行为之间无明显关系。对于受过高等教育的女性来说，工作自主权与向母亲的转变呈负相关，但与生二胎的风险呈正相关。对于受教育程度较低的女性，工作自主性与生育之间的关系从负向到不显著，具体取决于自主性的具体维度。本研究强调了工作自主性与生育能力之间的复杂联系，并强调了自主性对个人影响的重要社会分层。需要进一步的研究来解开观察到的二元性，即理解工作自主对生育，特别是对无子女妇女和受教育程度较低的妇女所构成的挑战。

Objective

This study explores the lived experiences of fathers who live and parent in Appalachia, a region and identity that is often stereotyped and marginalized.

Background

Though research on fathering and fatherhood has grown significantly over the past several decades, a persistent emphasis involves father involvement and its relationship to child outcomes. Far fewer studies have explored the intrapersonal processes of fatherhood, such as what it means to be a father in diverse contexts. Rural contexts, specifically within Appalachia, remain understudied and offer opportunities for exploring the negotiation of fathering identities.

Method

Using interpretive phenomenological analysis, we conducted in-depth interviews with 11 Appalachian fathers about their lived experiences.

Results

We identified two central tensions experienced by Appalachian fathers: (a) preserving tradition versus adapting to change, and (b) feeling wronged versus pressing on. Appalachian fathers negotiated identities against the backdrop of historical hardship and exploitation, which threatened their internal sense of agency and contributed to their feeling left behind in a changing world. However, their narratives also embodied a spirit of perseverance and illustrated the ways in which they actively negotiated their sense of self despite navigating constraining forces.

Conclusion

Appalachian fathers' positioning at the intersection of privileged and marginalized identities has implications for their lived experiences and ability to express themselves. This study aims to humanize a historically stereotyped group of fathers.

目的本研究探讨在阿巴拉契亚地区生活和养育子女的父亲的生活经历，这是一个经常被刻板印象和边缘化的地区和身份。虽然在过去的几十年里，关于父亲和父亲身份的研究有了显著的发展，但一个持续的重点是父亲的参与及其与儿童结局的关系。很少有研究探索父亲的个人过程，比如在不同的背景下做一个父亲意味着什么。农村环境，特别是在阿巴拉契亚地区，仍未得到充分研究，并为探索父亲身份的谈判提供了机会。方法运用解释现象学分析方法，对11位阿巴拉契亚地区父亲的生活经历进行深度访谈。结果：我们确定了阿巴拉契亚父亲经历的两种主要紧张关系：(a)保留传统与适应变化，(b)感觉委屈与坚持。阿巴拉契亚的父亲们在历史困苦和剥削的背景下协商身份，这威胁到他们内在的能动性，并导致他们在不断变化的世界中感到落后。然而，他们的叙述也体现了一种坚持不懈的精神，并说明了他们在克服束缚力量的情况下积极协商自我意识的方式。阿巴拉契亚父亲在特权和边缘身份的交汇处的定位对他们的生活经历和表达能力有影响。本研究旨在将历史上被定型的父亲群体人性化。

Beyond motherhood: Childless Black women and compulsory mothering 超越母性：没有孩子的黑人妇女和强制育儿

IF 2.7 1区社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES

Journal of Marriage and Family

Pub Date : 2025-01-17 DOI: 10.1111/jomf.13073

Austin Colby Guy Lee

Objective

The current study asks how race, class, and the social pressure to care for children who are not one's own impact how childless Black women experience and make meaning of their parental status.

Background

While much of the existing qualitative research on childlessness has asked how white, middle-class women experience social pressure to have children, this study shifts this focus to ask how Black women experience social pressure to care for children who are not their own.

Method

The study relied on virtual interviews with 40 class-diverse childless Black women between 40 and 55. The recruitment strategy utilized a mixed-method approach, including snowball sampling, online and physical advertising, and targeted outreach within online communities for Black women. Interviews were transcribed and iteratively analyzed to identify thematic codes and categories.

Results

The study identifies and terms “compulsory mothering” as a significant social pressure that leads childless Black women to assume caregiving roles within their kin networks, regardless of their parental status. This pressure is more pronounced among working-class women, who engage more extensively in these roles compared to their middle-class counterparts, highlighting how race and class intersect to shape their experiences of childlessness.

Conclusion

The study concludes that race and class influence women's experiences of childlessness. It also finds that childless Black women's relationships with their kin networks shape their experiences of childlessness and their reproductive preferences.

目的：本研究探讨种族、阶级和照顾非亲生子女的社会压力如何影响无子女的黑人妇女对其父母身份的体验和意义。虽然现有的许多关于无子女的定性研究都是关于白人中产阶级女性如何承受生孩子的社会压力，但这项研究将重点转移到黑人女性如何承受照顾不属于自己的孩子的社会压力。方法对40名40 - 55岁无子女的黑人女性进行虚拟访谈。招聘策略采用了混合方法，包括滚雪球抽样、在线和实体广告，以及针对黑人妇女的在线社区有针对性的推广。访谈记录下来并反复分析，以确定主题代码和类别。结果：该研究将“强制育儿”定义为一种重要的社会压力，这种压力导致无子女的黑人妇女在其亲属网络中承担起照顾孩子的角色，而不管她们是否为人父母。这种压力在工人阶级女性中更为明显，与中产阶级女性相比，她们更广泛地扮演这些角色，这突显了种族和阶级的交叉影响如何塑造了她们的无子女经历。结论种族和阶级对女性的无子女经历有影响。研究还发现，没有孩子的黑人女性与其亲属网络的关系塑造了她们没有孩子的经历和生育偏好。

Mothers and grandmothers: Rethinking motherhood in the context of intergenerational caregiving 母亲和祖母：在代际照顾的背景下重新思考母性

IF 2.7 1区社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES

Journal of Marriage and Family

Pub Date : 2025-01-16 DOI: 10.1111/jomf.13070

Objective

This study examines how the intergenerational caregiving exchanges from grandmother (maternal and paternal) to mother influence early motherhood experiences and childcare practices.

Background

Motherhood scholarship often neglects the influence of grandmothers on how women mother, or when acknowledging caregivers like grandmothers often fails to consider the potentially ambivalent ways grandmother caregiving affects mothers. Research on intergenerational support, however, documents the tension between solidarity and ambivalence characterizing care exchanges within families. More attention should be paid to understanding the complex ways grandmother participation intersects with a woman's motherhood experience.

Methods

This study asks how intergenerational caregiving by grandmothers shapes a woman's experiences of early motherhood, utilizing qualitative interview data with 34 Chinese immigrant mothers about their postpartum experiences, conducted in Canada between 2018 and 2019.

Results

Data revealed that grandmother care was an important, though often ambivalent, element of Chinese immigrant mothers' experience of new motherhood. New mothers sought to assert their autonomy and competence while simultaneously sharing mothering duties with grandmothers, whose interventions and care labor could simultaneously provoke feelings of guilt, gratitude, and resentment. Women assumed motherhood roles and identities at the same time they navigated the tensions between family solidarity and a desire for mothering autonomy.

Conclusion

Highlighting the significant but ambivalent role grandmothers can play in a woman's transition to motherhood demonstrates the importance of bringing grandmothers into how contemporary motherhood is understood.

目的探讨从祖母（母亲和父亲）到母亲的代际照顾交换如何影响早期母亲体验和育儿实践。母性研究往往忽视了祖母对女性如何成为母亲的影响，或者在承认像祖母这样的照顾者时，往往没有考虑到祖母照顾母亲的潜在矛盾方式。然而，对代际支持的研究记录了家庭内部关怀交换特征的团结和矛盾心理之间的紧张关系。应该更多地注意理解祖母参与与女性母性经验相交的复杂方式。本研究利用2018年至2019年在加拿大对34名中国移民母亲的产后经历进行的定性访谈数据，探讨祖母代际照顾如何影响女性的早期母亲经历。结果数据显示，在中国移民母亲的新母亲体验中，祖母关怀是一个重要的因素，尽管往往是矛盾的因素。新妈妈们在与祖母们分担育儿责任的同时，试图维护自己的自主权和能力，而祖母们的干预和照顾可能同时激起她们的内疚、感激和怨恨。女性承担了母亲的角色和身份，同时她们在家庭团结和母亲自主权之间的紧张关系中游刃有余。强调祖母在女性向母性转变过程中所扮演的重要但矛盾的角色，表明了将祖母纳入当代母性理解的重要性。

Maternal differential treatment and adult children's well-being when mothers have cognitive impairment 母亲认知障碍时的产妇差别待遇与成年子女的福祉

IF 2.7 1区社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES

Objectives

Our goal was to examine the role of perceptions of mothers' cognitive impairment (CI) in shaping the impact of maternal differential treatment on adult children's psychological well-being.

Background

The detrimental impact of mothers' differential treatment on adult children's psychological well-being has been well-documented; however, little is known about whether this association is moderated by mothers' CI.

Methods

Mixed-methods data were collected from 287 adult children (mean age = 59 years) nested within 142 families as part of the Within-Family Differences Study. Analytic approaches were multilevel regression and in-depth qualitative analyses.

Results

Perceiving oneself as the child to whom one's mother was most emotionally close or with whom she had the most conflict was associated with lower psychological well-being among adult children who did not report that their mothers had symptoms of CI; however, such perceptions were not associated with well-being when children perceived that mothers showed symptoms of CI. Qualitative analyses revealed that when children reported that mothers did not have CI, children attributed their greater closeness and conflict to unique characteristics of themselves or their mother–child ties. However, when children perceived that mothers showed symptoms of CI, attributions for mothers' differentiation focused on contextual factors surrounding mothers' cognitive health, and thus did not reflect on the children themselves. Thus, the negative impact of perceptions of mothers' differential treatment on well-being was muted.

Conclusion

This study sheds light on conditions under which perceptions of maternal differential treatment affect adult children's psychological well-being, and the role of cognitive health in these processes.

我们的目的是研究母亲认知障碍（CI）的感知在塑造母亲差别待遇对成年子女心理健康的影响中的作用。背景母亲的差别待遇对成年子女心理健康的不利影响已被充分证明；然而，这种关联是否受到母亲CI的调节却知之甚少。方法采用混合方法收集来自142个家庭的287名成年儿童（平均年龄59岁）的数据，作为家庭内部差异研究的一部分。分析方法为多层次回归和深度定性分析。结果在没有报告母亲有CI症状的成年子女中，将自己视为与母亲情感最亲密或冲突最多的孩子与较低的心理健康相关；然而，当儿童认为母亲表现出CI症状时，这种感觉与幸福感无关。定性分析显示，当孩子们报告说母亲没有CI时，孩子们将他们更大的亲密和冲突归因于他们自己的独特特征或他们的母子关系。然而，当儿童感知到母亲表现出CI症状时，母亲分化的归因侧重于围绕母亲认知健康的情境因素，因此没有反映到儿童本身。因此，母亲差别待遇观念对幸福感的负面影响被淡化了。结论本研究揭示了母亲差别待遇感知影响成年子女心理健康的条件，以及认知健康在这些过程中的作用。

Parental separation and children's genetic influences on education 父母分离与子女遗传对教育的影响

IF 2.7 1区社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES

Journal of Marriage and Family

Pub Date : 2025-01-14 DOI: 10.1111/jomf.13067

Zachary Van Winkle, Tina Baier

Objective

This study focuses on the extent to which parental divorce and separation during childhood affect children's chances to realize genetic influences on educational attainment.

Background

Whether the family context matters for genetic influences on children's educational attainment remains an open question. Previous research mainly considers parents' socio-economic standing and overlooks a key dimension of social stratification: childhood family structure.

Method

This study draws on the US Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to estimate the association between education polygenic scores and educational attainment of adults who experienced a parental separation before age 16 compared to adults who lived continuously with both parents.

Results

Results show that genetic effects are smaller for adults whose parents separated compared to adults whose parents remained coupled. Moreover, additional analysis directed at the mechanisms provided no evidence that the negative impact of parental separation was attributable to adverse socioeconomic conditions during childhood.

Conclusion

The findings suggest that distinct inner-familial conditions linked to parental separation affect children's genetic influences on educational attainment.

目的研究父母离异和童年分居对儿童实现遗传对学业成就影响的影响程度。家庭环境对儿童受教育程度的遗传影响是否重要仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。以往的研究主要考虑父母的社会经济地位，而忽视了社会分层的一个关键维度：童年家庭结构。方法：本研究利用美国健康与退休研究（HRS）来估计16岁前经历父母分居的成年人与与父母共同生活的成年人的教育多基因得分与受教育程度之间的关系。结果结果表明，父母离异的成年人的遗传效应比父母保持婚姻关系的成年人小。此外，针对这些机制的额外分析没有证据表明父母分离的负面影响可归因于儿童时期不利的社会经济条件。结论研究结果表明，与父母分离有关的不同的家庭内部条件影响了儿童对教育成就的遗传影响。

Objective

This study tested whether exposure to minority stress and structural stigma across multiple levels of the family system were associated with two indicators of well-being (life satisfaction, depressive symptoms) in LGBTQ+ parents across 19 European countries.

Background

Minority stress (i.e., identity-based stress resulting from systemic oppression) and structural stigma (i.e., hostile legal environments, prejudicial social attitudes) are heterogeneous, yet well-documented risk factors of reduced well-being within LGBTQ+ populations. However, a comprehensive assessment stratifying both concepts across multiple levels of the family system (i.e., the individual, couple, and family level) is lacking for LGBTQ+ parents.

Method

Using data from the EU LGBTI Survey 2019, a sample of 3808 LGBTQ+ parents from 19 European countries was analyzed. Associations between self-reported minority stress indicators, objective structural stigma indicators, sociodemographic predictors, and well-being were tested using non-linear, machine learning-based techniques (gradient boosted decision tree models).

Results

Supporting preregistered hypotheses, exposure to individual-level minority stress and individual- and family-level structural stigma predicted life satisfaction and depressive symptoms. Couple-level minority stress predicted life satisfaction, but not depressive symptoms, and family-level minority stress predicted neither. Trans parents and those facing economic burdens were particularly vulnerable to low well-being.

Conclusions

Exposure to minority stress and structural stigma, particularly within highly stigmatizing regions, are risk factors for LGBTQ+ parents' well-being. Future research should examine the role of family-level minority stress using validated measures.

目的本研究测试了19个欧洲国家的LGBTQ+父母在家庭系统的多个层面上暴露于少数民族压力和结构性耻辱是否与两个幸福指标（生活满意度、抑郁症状）相关。背景：LGBTQ+人群中，少数群体压力（即由系统性压迫导致的基于身份的压力）和结构性污名（即敌对的法律环境、偏见的社会态度）是异质性的，但有充分证据表明，这是LGBTQ+人群幸福感下降的风险因素。然而，对于LGBTQ+父母来说，在家庭系统的多个层面（即个人、夫妻和家庭层面）对这两个概念进行分层的综合评估是缺乏的。方法利用2019年欧盟LGBTI调查数据，对来自19个欧洲国家的3808名LGBTQ+父母进行样本分析。使用非线性、基于机器学习的技术（梯度增强决策树模型）测试了自我报告的少数民族压力指标、客观结构污名指标、社会人口预测指标和幸福感之间的关联。结果支持预先登记的假设，暴露于个人水平的少数民族压力和个人和家庭水平的结构性耻辱预测生活满意度和抑郁症状。夫妻层面的少数民族压力预测生活满意度，但不能预测抑郁症状，家庭层面的少数民族压力两者都不能预测。变性父母和那些面临经济负担的人尤其容易受到低幸福感的影响。结论暴露于少数群体压力和结构性污名，特别是在高度污名化的地区，是影响LGBTQ+父母幸福感的危险因素。未来的研究应该使用有效的措施来检验家庭层面的少数民族压力的作用。

Measuring family boundary ambiguity in cohabiting stepfamilies 测量同居再婚家庭的家庭边界模糊

IF 2.7 1区社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES

Pub Date : 2025-01-09 DOI: 10.1111/jomf.13068

Objective

Our study introduces a novel approach to gauging family boundary ambiguity using information obtained from just one household reporter. It also illuminates the strengths and challenges presented by parent pointers in federal surveys.

Background

The prominence of boundary ambiguity in cohabiting stepfamilies leads to significant measurement challenges, which take on greater salience as more children experience this family type.

Method

Drawing on the 2019–2022 Current Population Survey (CPS), we assessed boundary ambiguity within cohabiting stepfamilies (N = 4133) by examining whether reporting the stepparent as the child's second parent differed by household reporter type: biological parent versus cohabiting partner. Logistic regressions showed the roles of sociodemographic, family, and child correlates of family boundary ambiguity by household reporter type.

Results

Boundary ambiguity in cohabiting stepfamilies was high, with over 80% of reporters not identifying the cohabiting partner as the child's second parent. Parents more often experienced boundary ambiguity (91%) than did partners (68%). Parents with more economic resources than their partners were more likely to experience boundary ambiguity. Joint children were negatively related to boundary ambiguity.

Conclusion

This study shows most parents and partners in cohabiting stepfamilies do not view the partner as a second parent. It also reveals the ramifications of the CPS parent pointers that restrict respondents to reporting only two “parents,” tacitly reinforcing the two-biological parent norm.

目的本研究介绍了一种新的方法来衡量家庭边界歧义仅从一个家庭报告获得的信息。它还阐明了联邦调查中父母指示所带来的优势和挑战。同居继家庭中边界模糊性的突出导致了显著的测量挑战，随着更多的孩子经历这种家庭类型，这种挑战变得更加突出。方法根据2019-2022年当前人口调查（CPS），我们通过检查将继父母报告为孩子的第二个父母是否因家庭报告类型（亲生父母与同居伴侣）而异，评估了同居继家庭（N = 4133）中的边界模糊性。Logistic回归显示了社会人口学、家庭和儿童相关因素对家庭边界模糊的影响。结果同居再婚家庭的界限模糊程度较高，超过80%的受访者不认为同居伴侣是孩子的第二父母。父母（91%）比伴侣（68%）更经常经历边界模糊。拥有更多经济资源的父母比他们的伴侣更有可能经历边界模糊。关节儿童与边界模糊负相关。本研究表明，大多数同居再婚家庭的父母和伴侣并不将伴侣视为第二父母。它还揭示了CPS父母指针的后果，该指针限制受访者只报告两个“父母”，默认强化了双亲生父母的规范。

Navigating cultural crossroads: A thematic analysis of individuals' sacrifices in intercultural romantic relationships 导航文化十字路口：跨文化浪漫关系中个人牺牲的专题分析

IF 2.7 1区社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES

Journal of Marriage and Family

Pub Date : 2025-01-08 DOI: 10.1111/jomf.13072

Objective

This study aims to explore the unique sacrifices intercultural couples make to reconcile their cultural differences.

Background

Partners in intercultural romantic relationships may be challenged to make sacrifices related to their cultural differences, termed cultural sacrifices. These sacrifices can act as catalysts for cultural change in families and society, yet there is a gap in our understanding of the types of cultural sacrifices partners make.

Method

We conducted reflexive thematic analysis on two online samples of individuals in intercultural relationships who wrote about their cultural sacrifices (n = 592). We employed a bottom-up data-driven approach to our analysis.

Results

We identified 10 themes, including nine distinct themes of cultural sacrifices—cultural practices and norms, food, gender roles, language, parenting, prejudice, religion, relocation and travel, and social orientation—and one theme of not making a cultural sacrifice. Most themes were divided into subthemes to provide more context for individuals' experiences.

Conclusion

Individuals in intercultural relationships often reconcile their cultural differences by giving up aspects of their own culture or finding ways to adapt to their partner's culture. This study provides the first descriptive overview of the types of cultural sacrifices partners make in their relationships.

Implications

These findings provide a better understanding of intercultural relationships, contribute to a more inclusive study of relationships, and offer valuable considerations for future research.

目的本研究旨在探讨跨文化夫妻为调和文化差异而做出的独特牺牲。跨文化恋爱关系中的伴侣可能会面临与文化差异相关的牺牲的挑战，称为文化牺牲。这些牺牲可以作为家庭和社会文化变革的催化剂，然而，我们对伴侣做出的文化牺牲的类型的理解存在差距。方法：我们对两个在线样本（n = 592）进行了反身性主题分析，这些样本都是在跨文化关系中写下他们的文化牺牲的个人。我们采用自下而上的数据驱动方法进行分析。我们确定了10个主题，包括9个不同的文化牺牲主题——文化习俗和规范、食物、性别角色、语言、养育子女、偏见、宗教、搬迁和旅行以及社会取向——以及一个不做出文化牺牲的主题。大多数主题都被分成了子主题，以便为个人体验提供更多的背景。跨文化关系中的个体往往通过放弃自己文化的某些方面或寻找适应伴侣文化的方法来调和他们的文化差异。这项研究提供了第一个描述性的概述类型的文化牺牲的合作伙伴在他们的关系。这些发现有助于更好地理解跨文化关系，有助于对关系进行更具包容性的研究，并为未来的研究提供有价值的考虑。

Administrative burdens as a family affair: Navigating racialized safety-net systems post-welfare reform 作为家庭事务的行政负担：在福利改革后的种族化安全网体系中导航

IF 2.7 1区社会学 Q1 FAMILY STUDIES

Journal of Marriage and Family

Pub Date : 2025-01-03 DOI: 10.1111/jomf.13064

Objective

Analyzing ethnographic data collected after welfare reform in the United States, this study explores the family-level consequences of safety-net administrative burdens.

Background

Administrative burdens reproduce racial inequality and have material, psychological, and temporal costs for individuals. Less attention has been paid to how such burdens impose costs not only for the person interfacing with the state but also their families. This study uses an “intersectional family justice” lens to (1) examine the full impact of administrative burdens more broadly, as one component of family burdens and (2) highlight the role of agency in families' heterogeneous, multi-level response strategies.

Method

We conducted a team-based, secondary analysis of 35 family profiles from a longitudinal ethnography detailing the perspectives and experiences of low-income Latinx families with children from 1999 to 2002 at the San Antonio, Texas site of Welfare, Children, and Families: A Three-City Study. Through multiple stages of coding, we examined how families experienced and responded to administrative burdens in safety-net systems in the post-welfare reform context.

Results

Families primarily faced two types of barriers when interfacing with safety-net systems (system-level and ideological) and engaged in two types of response strategies (individual-level and network-level). Both barriers and responses had reverberating implications for family well-being and processes.

Conclusion

Because safety-net administrative burdens, often rooted in racialized and gendered logics of “deservingness,” can create substantial disruptions for navigating everyday family life, their costs are more fully understood not only as individual-level burdens but as a family affair.

目的分析美国福利改革后收集的民族志数据，探讨安全网行政负担的家庭层面后果。行政负担再现了种族不平等，给个人带来了物质、心理和时间上的成本。很少有人注意到，这些负担不仅给与国家打交道的人带来了成本，也给他们的家庭带来了成本。本研究采用“交叉家庭正义”的视角：(1)更广泛地考察行政负担作为家庭负担的一个组成部分的全面影响；(2)强调代理在家庭异质性、多层次应对策略中的作用。方法：我们对来自纵向民族志的35个家庭档案进行了基于团队的二次分析，详细介绍了1999年至2002年在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥的福利、儿童和家庭：一个三城市研究站点中有孩子的低收入拉丁裔家庭的观点和经历。通过编码的多个阶段，我们研究了在福利改革后的背景下，家庭如何经历和应对安全网系统中的行政负担。结果家庭在与社会保障体系对接时主要面临两种类型的障碍（制度层面和意识形态层面），并采取两种类型的应对策略（个人层面和网络层面）。障碍和反应都对家庭福利和进程产生了深远的影响。由于安全网的行政负担往往植根于种族化和性别化的“应得性”逻辑，可能对日常家庭生活造成重大干扰，因此，人们更充分地认识到，它们的成本不仅是个人层面的负担，而且是家庭事务。
