Few people are as important for an adolescent's development as their parents. However, most research on parent–adolescent relationships describes long-term population-wide effects. Therefore, little is known about everyday interactions between adolescents and parents in individual families. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) measures families several times a day as they go through daily life. This approach provides ecologically valid insights into which interactions took place and how they were experienced. State-of-the-art EMA studies suggest that within-family fluctuations in parenting may trigger changes in an adolescent's well-being and behaviors. In practice, moreover, EMA may strengthen family support and intervention research. This article reviews recent empirical work, highlights the (un)used theoretical and practical promise of EMA and identifies key-challenges to unlock this full potential.

很少有人像他们的父母那样对青少年的发展至关重要。然而，大多数关于父母与青少年关系的研究都描述了长期的全人群影响。因此，对于个别家庭中青少年与父母之间的日常互动知之甚少。生态瞬时评估 (EMA) 在日常生活中每天对家庭进行多次测量。这种方法提供了生态上有效的见解，了解发生了哪些交互以及如何体验它们。最先进的 EMA 研究表明，家庭内部养育方式的波动可能会引发青少年幸福感和行为的变化。此外，在实践中，EMA 可能会加强家庭支持和干预研究。本文回顾了最近的实证工作，
