Longitudinal research methods and family theories
Elizabeth G. Menaghan , Deborah D. Godwin
pp. 259-273
An outstanding characteristic of family relationships is their astonishing potential duration over time. A marital or parent-child dyad may persist for more than 60 years before being disrupted by death, and sibling relations may be still more long-lived. How such relations change over time, under what conditions they alter in specific ways, and what early factors shape subsequent developments in relationships are enduring questions for family researchers from various disciplines.
