Panel Analysis of Intimate Relationships and Family Dynamics
A General Introduction
Meeting of the Advisory Board of pairfam in Bremen July 3rd, 2009
Feldhaus/Huinink, Bremen, 03.07.20092
General Aim
Provision of data
to describe and explain individuals’ engagement in intimate relationships, family development, and parenting
as part of their pursuit of subjective wellbeing over the life course
Feldhaus/Huinink, Bremen, 03.07.20093
Research Topics
(1) Couples’ Dynamics and Stability
(2) Timing, Spacing, and Stopping of Childbearing
(3) Intergenerational Relationships
(4) Parenting and Child Development
Feldhaus/Huinink, Bremen, 03.07.20094
Conceptual Framework
Action Theoretic Approach“Production” of subjective wellbeing by pursuing “instrumental” goals – given external opportunities, individual resources, and psychosocial dispositions
Life Course ApproachMulti-level embeddedness, multi-dimensionality, path dependency of the process of welfare production
Feldhaus/Huinink, Bremen, 03.07.20095
General Design Issues
Three age cohorts age groups 15-17, 25-27, 35-37, random sample drawn from population registers of 343 communities between Feb 2008 and Sep 2008
Anchor populationmembers of these cohorts living in private households with sufficient language ability to follow the interview
Feldhaus/Huinink, Bremen, 03.07.20096
General Design Issues
Annual panel wavesto be able to follow the dynamics sufficiently close and reliable and to cover the main research topics in sufficient detail
Multi-actor design collecting information from various actors: anchor, partner, parents, children aged 8 -16 years)
InstrumentsCAPI/CASI (anchor, children), PAPI (partners, parents)
Feldhaus/Huinink, Bremen, 03.07.20097
General Design Issues
Structural information and psychological / subjective data needed to model decision processes over time
Modularized questionnaires core modules for all main research topics (annually), regular rotating modules for the research topics (every second year), and extra modules covering changing research topics
Irregular supplementary studies on special topics applying quantitative and qualitative methods in later waves

Questions
Are the research topics set up in a proper way?
Do we miss important dimensions or categories of information? Do we need other kinds of data (bio-markers etc.)?
Do we need other procedures of data collection?
What are efficient models of division of labor in project and data management?
How shall we organize supplementary studies?
