Few people are as important for an adolescent's development as their parents. However, most research on parent-adolescent relationships describes long-term population-wide effects. Therefore, little is known about everyday interactions between adolescents and parents in individual families. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) measures families several times a day as they go through daily life. This approach provides ecologically valid insights into which interactions took place and how they were experienced. State-of-the-art EMA studies suggest that within-family fluctuations in parenting may trigger changes in an adolescent's well-being and behaviors. In practice, moreover, EMA may strengthen family support and intervention research. This article reviews recent empirical work, highlights the (un)used theoretical and practical promise of EMA and identifies key-challenges to unlock this full potential.
在青少年的成长过程中，很少有人能像父母一样重要。然而，大多数关于父母与青少年关系的研究都描述了长期的、全人群范围的影响。因此，对于青少年和父母在个体家庭中的日常互动，人们知之甚少。生态瞬时评估（EMA）方法每天多次测量家庭，以了解他们的日常生活。这种方法提供了关于发生了哪些互动以及这些互动是如何被体验的生态有效见解。最先进的 EMA 研究表明，家庭内部的育儿波动可能会引发青少年幸福感和行为的变化。此外，在实践中，EMA 可以加强家庭支持和干预研究。本文回顾了最近的实证工作，强调了 EMA 的（未）被利用的理论和实践潜力，并确定了释放这一全部潜力的关键挑战。
