Although quantitative researchers have developed measures that have been fruitful in broadening insights about loneliness, they have failed to grasp its multidimensional and dynamic nature. Due to a shift in emphasis from lived experiences to correlational variables, loneliness research has been confronted with two particular problems. First, endeavors to refine previous conceptualizations of loneliness have stagnated. Second, research questions are scattered across a variety of disciplines. This article provides an integrated multidisciplinary theory from which it becomes clear that a family focus is of great importance to all disciplines concerned with loneliness, because opportunities for social interaction, relational standards, and sources of loneliness depend on familial and developmental histories and the cultural orientation of the families in which individuals live.</p>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50126073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Differential susceptibility was the most widely used theory. All studies demonstrated significant GxI effects, but the large numbers of interventions and the fragmentary information provided by different genes limits the generalizability of conclusions. Future research should develop stronger biobehavioral theories, designs, and methodologie for studying genes in the family context. The GxI effects reviewed deepen our understanding of genetic moderation effects in intervention studies, provide implications for research by indicating who may benefit more from an intervention, and further guide efforts to personalize intervention programs to include elements to which people with certain genetic characteristics are more sensitive.</p>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71980758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article provides a scoping review of research published from 2001 to 2021, covering 115 Social Science Citation Index-referenced papers from WEIRD countries, with the aim of reconstructing social norms around motherhood and mothers' responses to them. The analysis is theoretically based on normological and praxeological concepts. The findings reveal five contemporary norms of motherhood that reflect both stability and increasing differentiation, and are related to five types of mothers: the norms of being attentive to the child (present mother), of securing the child's successful development (future-oriented mother), of integrating employment into mothering (working mother), of being in control (public mother), and of being contented (happy mother). Relying on an intersectional lens, we analyze mothers' heterogeneous responses to these norms of motherhood, and examine how neoliberal demands build on and perpetuate inequalities.</p>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jftr.12488","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50141060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of these was brought to my awareness when my co-author (and brother), who is a physician at the University of Michigan, recently shared with me this excerpt from an essay he wrote for incoming medical students:</p><p><i>In relationship-based medicine, the ability to see things from the perspective of patients and families is very important. We need to remember that we doctors have the privilege of having one of the few jobs for which an “average day” can be a “once-in-a-lifetime” experience for someone else. I sometimes think of the response of Joe DiMaggio, the famous baseball player, when he was asked why he played so hard every day, even when a game was well in hand. He said, “Because there might have been somebody in the stands today who'd never seen my play before and might never see me again.” Joe knew that what was an ordinary, even mundane, experience for him might be a once-only experience for the other person and he respected the importance of that individual's expectations</i>.</p><p><i>Here is a clinical example of the same sort of thing: When my daughter, Ellie, was hospitalized in 2011, she had a particularly difficult day that was made much better by the kind attentions of a wonderful nurse. I remember taking that nurse aside, at the end of her shift, and thanking her for all that she did. I said, “I imagine this was a pretty average day for you, the kind where if someone asks how the day was, you'd say ‘just routine, the usual.’ It would never stand out in your memory. But it was anything but routine for us and we will always remember your professionalism and kindness.” And we certainly do remember, gratefully, all these years later. I'm sure many of you have similar memories of medical care provided to you or your family members. And, unfortunately, some of you may have had the opposite experience, in which healthcare professionals just seemed to be going through the motions and your interactions with them were less than ideal. In medicine, we have the privilege—an often-daunting responsibility—of working with patients and families during transformative moments of their lives, moments that are often among the most stressful and consequential that they will ever have. However, routine these days may seem to us, we must recognize that they are exceptional for those we care for. And we owe it to them to do it the right way each time</i>.</p><p>What is exciting to me is that his primary point about “relationship-based medicine” also applies to the journal editing and publication processes. As I reflected on his thoughts, I realized that journal editors need to treat their constituencies (primarily authors, but also reviewers and the general readership) in ways that are similar to how physicians should aspire to treat their patients.
