Thematic Focus: Family Relationships and Features Explored
The studies investigated a range of relationship features either
considering emerging adults’ relationships with their whole-family
system (n = 7) or with specific family members (n = 31).
Out of these, 26 studies focused on the parent-child relationship, four
on siblings, and one on grandparent-grandchild relationships. The main
results of the studies will be next presented according to the type of
family relationship explored.
