• Family roles and their change in the context of migration
• Parents’ vs. children’s integration

• 15 ethnic Russian families in Ireland with children over 10 years old (both parents came to Ireland from Russia)
• 15 Latvian-Russian families in Ireland with children over 10 years old (both parents came to Ireland from Latvia)

1 parent and 1 child’s participation in each family

• 15 Irish families with children over 10 years old
• 15 Russian-Latvian families in Latvia with children over 10 years old
• 15 Russian families in Russia with children over 10 years old

1 parent and 1 child’s participation in each family

• What are the parental goals in the target and control groups?
• How do they differ?
• Do parenting styles adapt in Russian-speaking families to the ones existing in ROI?
• What is parental approach to language development in target and control families?
• What is parents’ and children’s motivation for minority language retention?
• Is ethnic identification intergenerationally transmitted in Russian-speaking families in ROI?
• Do traditional family roles change in Russian-speaking families in ROI?
• Is intergenerational transmission bidirectional in migrant families?
