Online forums provide an authentic glimpse into a group or phenomenon through easily accessible, naturally-occurring interactions, including from hard-to-reach populations. Guided by symbolic interactionism, we offer practical guidance for researchers interested in this approach. We draw from existing literature to outline strategies for identifying relevant forums, collecting data ethically, and analyzing data using qualitative methods. In addition to providing several examples of published work using forums as a data source, we provide a case example of a published study using data from Reddit to demonstrate potential steps for interested scholars to follow in conducting online forums research. We explore potential study design challenges that researchers should consider, including the lack of consistent demographic data, difficulties in conducting follow-ups, and the risk of social desirability bias, even in anonymous settings. We also highlight ethical considerations inherent in this type of research. Overall, family scientists can expand their methodological toolkit and gain deeper insights into the lived experiences of individuals and families in the digital age by considering online forums as a rich data source.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"18 3","pages":"652-667"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147695409","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 introduces the Intersectional Theory of Planned Behavior (I-TPB), transforming the Theory of Planned Behavior's core constructs—attitudes, norms, and perceived behavioral control—from universal psychological mechanisms into intersectionally constituted phenomena. Building on TPB's explanatory power while addressing its structural limitations, I-TPB theorizes financial behavior through three interlocking mechanisms: positional conditioning, relational contingency, and structural embedding. The proposed framework generates six theoretical propositions explaining systematic behavioral variations across intersectional positions, reframing behaviors deemed irrational under traditional TPB as structurally coherent responses rather than individual deficits. Theoretical applications across three diverse family cases demonstrate this intersectional behavioral coherence, showing how apparent inconsistencies reflect adaptive responses to documented institutional barriers. I-TPB offers a theoretically integrated framework for understanding financial behavior across diverse family structures that centers structural equity rather than individual pathology, advancing justice-oriented family science.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"18 3","pages":"530-550"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147447426","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}

Parenting is fraught with self-condemning emotions, diminishing the well-being of the parents and, by extension, their children. The article determines the appropriateness of self-forgiveness as a morally and practically viable strategy to manage such emotions by adapting Jacinto and Edward's (2011) model of self-forgiveness. Given the gendered nature of these emotional experiences and of the discourses that contribute to them, the framework caters to distinct needs of mothers and fathers. Four stages (recognition, recalibrating responsibility, expression and re-creating/expanding identities) are described in the framework to help parents determine the degree of justified responsibility, embrace their inevitable fallibility, and expand both their gender and parent identities. The insights from the article can inform group interventions to ease the emotional challenges of parenting following a structured module of self-forgiveness based on the proposed conceptual framework.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"18 3","pages":"600-611"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147506637","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}

Drawing from the Family Adjustment and Adaptation Response (FAAR) model and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we introduce the Adaptive Support Model (ASM), which conceptualizes psychological flexibility as moderating the relationships between caregiving demands, meaning-making processes, and adaptive outcomes. Higher psychological flexibility is expected to weaken associations between ambiguous loss, related distress, and maladaptive outcomes, while strengthening pathways toward values-aligned caregiving and bonadaptation. By integrating psychological flexibility into Family Stress and Resilience Theory, the Adaptive Support Model offers a testable conceptual framework and clinical roadmap for supporting sustainable, emotionally attuned dementia caregiving.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"18 3","pages":"612-627"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147630707","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}
