It made so much sense to me,\u201d said Scharp, a professor of communication studies at Utah State University.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scharp said estrangement is when people deliberately distance themselves from their families because of negative relationships. She said the topic caught her fascination because of its commonality, yet lack of research. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scharp worked both independently and with Baxter studying broader topics in relational communication and conflict before specifically focusing on estrangement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She began her research by opening an online Listerv allowing the entire student body at the University of Iowa to contact her with their experiences with estrangement. It generated hundreds of responses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scharp said she found the lack of previous research on the topic shocking. A 2014 study conducted by Stand Alone, a United Kingdom-based group, found that 19% of people surveyed were estranged from their families, and 27% of people reported they knew someone else in the same situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scharp also explained that the phrase \u201cblood is thicker than water\u201d is commonly taken out of context and misunderstood when speaking of families and estrangement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She said it is usually misinterpreted to emphasize the importance of biological relationships, or \u201cblood.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s actually an old phrase that means the blood you shed in battle is thicker than the water you share in the womb. So it actually means the exact opposite of how we use it today,\u201d she said. \u201cThe phrase was meant to say the people who you\u2019d give your life for are more important than your biological relations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scharp attributes the lack of research to the belief that families are not relationships that one can simply choose to leave or maintain. She said this idea is completely false, however.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPeople break up with their families all the time,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently, Scharp received a national platform on her research when it was mentioned in The New York Times. Scharp attributes this to the fact that she is one of three scholars in the world who focus solely on estrangement \u2014 the other two are in the United Kingdom and Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though the three don\u2019t work together, they communicate often.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though Scharp said people tend to think of estranged as not talking to family members, characteristics also include lower quality of communication, physical distance, lack of feeling or negative feeling, or even involving legal action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scharp explained there are many reasons why families can seek distance and become estranged. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With adult children, she said, estrangement often results from mental health issues, substance abuse or neglect. With parents, however, estrangement is often caused by children engaging in dangerous behaviors or a child\u2019s partner who is problematic for the family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scharp completed her dissertation at the University of Iowa on the different ways people maintain distance from their families, which brought her to the specific topic of estrangement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It particularly interested her because step-families, foster families and adopted families tend to receive more stigmatization than traditional families, even though non-traditional families are more common than \u201cnuclear\u201d families that fit the traditional mold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though many researchers take interest in fields personal to them, this isn\u2019t the case for Scharp, who has a \u201cvery close relationship\u201d with her parents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m certainly glad<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it\u2019s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> what I do now, but that wasn\u2019t my goal growing up,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">@Alison__berg<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">alisonberg28@gmail.com<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Kristina Scharp was growing up in northern New Jersey, she never imagined she would become one of only three&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":877906,"featured_media":22020642,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,19],"tags":[2547,1640,45],"class_list":["post-22020640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-news","tag-professor","tag-research","tag-usu"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
