This paper examines intergenerational, interdependent and contextual aspects of wellbeing and acculturative stress in refugee families during resettlement. Particular focus is placed on how children influence their parents.
The study is based on interviews with and diary notes from Middle Eastern parents and children residing in Sweden.
Analyzes of the narratives show how the direct and indirect influence of the child affects the parents in both negative and positive ways. Acculturative stress follows from unexpected and undesired migration outcomes, such as parent-child conflicts and low school achievement. Such strains add to other hardships refugee families face, for instance, unemployment, welfare dependence, poor housing, and insufficient mastery of the majority language. However, acculturative stress can be alleviated by the children's educational success, and reciprocal practices of love and caring including helping out with chores and supporting each other in different ways.
Children's agency has significant effects on parents' wellbeing, as wellbeing is accomplished in and through relationships with others.
本文探讨了难民家庭重新安置期间幸福安康与文化适应压力的代际、相互依存及情境因素。特别关注儿童如何影响其父母。
该研究基于对居住在瑞典的中东裔父母及子女的访谈和日记记录。
对这些叙述的分析表明，儿童的直接和间接影响如何以积极和消极的方式影响父母。文化适应压力源于意外且不理想的移民结果，如亲子冲突和学业成绩不佳。这些压力加剧了难民家庭面临的其他困难，例如失业、依赖福利、住房条件差以及对多数群体语言掌握不足。然而，儿童在学业上的成功以及相互关爱和照顾的行为，包括帮忙做家务和以不同方式相互支持，可缓解文化适应压力。
儿童的能动性对父母的幸福安康有重大影响，因为幸福安康是在与他人的关系中并通过这种关系实现的。
