使用连续 56 天从母亲 (n = 47)、父亲 (n = 39) 和儿童 (n = 47；8-13 岁) 收集的日记数据解决了与测量反应性和疲劳相关的方法学挑战。所有家庭成员的按时遵守率均超过 90%，随着时间的推移，个人内部的工作日遵守率仅略有下降，这证明了与家庭进行扩展日记研究的可行性。多层次模型显示，母亲和父亲每天报告的亲子冲突和温暖程度略有下降，这表明可能存在测量反应。通过一次基线调查测量，全球对亲子参与的看法调节了父母日记报告中冲突和温暖的变化，但没有调节孩子的变化。最后，母亲和孩子的冲突日记报告之间的一致性减弱，以及儿童报告的负面情绪和亲子冲突的同一日记评级之间积极的人际关联加强，表明潜在的与疲劳相关的反应准确性下降。尽管通常很小，但观察到的测量效果凸显了在日常家庭生活研究中需要进行额外的方法学研究。
Methodological challenges associated with measurement reactivity and fatigue were addressed using diary data collected from mothers (n = 47), fathers (n = 39), and children (n = 47; 8-13 years) across 56 consecutive days. Demonstrating the feasibility of extended diary studies with families, on-time compliance rates were upward of 90% for all family members, with only minor within-person declines in weekday compliance over time. Multilevel models revealed slight decreases in mother and father daily reports of parent-child conflict and warmth across days, suggesting possible measurement reactivity. Global perceptions of parent-child involvement, measured via a 1-time survey at baseline, moderated change in parent, but not child, diary reports of conflict and warmth. Finally, weakening agreement between mother and child diary reports of conflict and strengthening of positive within-person associations between child-reported negative mood and same-diary ratings of parent-child conflict indicate potential fatigue-related declines in response accuracy. Although generally minimal, observed measurement effects highlight the need for additional methodological research in the study of everyday family life.
