This thesis examined how parenting practices take shape in the aftermath of war and refuge. Hend performed a mixed-methods systematic review and meta-analysis using MASEM, indicating that war-exposure casts its effects on children’s internalizing and externalizing problems partly directly, and partly indirectly through reduced parental warmth and increased harshness. A meta-synthesis further nuanced these findings, suggesting that the impact of war exposure on parenting depends on the nature of the exposure, with bereavement resulting in more and rape in less parental warmth. Furthermore, she performed 27 in-depth interviews with refugee parents, indicating that in displacement, parents generally resorted more towards harshness, while in resettlement some parents resorted more to communication and limit setting and relied less on harshness. Besides that, she performed an experience sampling study, indicating that parental self-efficacy played a key role in explaining why when refugee parents experienced more post-migration stress they grant their children less autonomy. Last, Hend performed a randomized within-subject experimental study, indicating that a brief intervention can strengthen parental self-efficacy among refugee parents and render parental self-efficacy less contingent on post-migration stress.
