Postmigration stress compromises refugee parents’ self-efficacy and autonomy-supportive parenting: An experience sampling study.

= 12.81) reported on their postmigration stress, parental self-efficacy, and parental autonomy support up to 10 times a day for 6-8 days. We fit a dynamic structural equation model to test whether postmigration stress predicted reductions in parental autonomy support, and whether parental self-efficacy explained this link. Results showed that when parents experienced more postmigration stress, they granted their children less autonomy at a later timepoint, in part, through parents feeling less efficacious after having experiencing postmigration stress. Findings held after controlling for parents' posttraumatic stress symptoms, and when controlling for all possible temporal and lagged associations. Our results highlight that postmigration stress shapes parenting practices, above and beyond symptoms of war-trauma, in the daily lives of refugee families.
