Family research is the study of family structures, relationships, and dynamics. It explores how families function, the roles of different family members, and the impact of cultural, social, and economic factors on family life. Researchers may use surveys, interviews, and observations to gather data about family behaviors and interactions. This field also examines issues such as family diversity, parenting styles, and intergenerational relationships. By understanding these aspects, family research aims to improve family well-being and inform policies that support families in various contexts, including education and healthcare.
