Research regarding the variability of state self-esteem (SSE) commonly focuses on the
magnitude of variability. In this article we provide the first empirical test of the temporal
structure of SSE as a real-time process during parent–adolescent interactions. We adopt a
qualitative phenomenological approach, whereby moment-to-moment emotional and
behavioral indicators of SSE are measured as they emerged during the interactions,
resulting in SSE time series. We conducted detrended fluctuation analyses (DFA) on the …
