Özet
This chapter reconceptualizes participation in parent-mediated intervention research as a structurally and relationally embedded process rather than an individual attribute of parents. Drawing on methodological reflections from applied research contexts, this chapter examines how caregiving responsibilities, gendered divisions of labor, emotional demands, and family environments shape the feasibility and sustainability of research participation. Rather than presenting participation as a matter of parental motivation or compliance, this chapter argues that engagement is produced through the interaction between research design and the lived realities of families. From this perspective, key methodological concepts—including feasibility, ecological validity, and participation—are reframed as design-related considerations rather than participant-related limitations. This chapter proposes a context-sensitive approach to applied intervention research that emphasizes flexibility, relational engagement, and alignment with everyday family life. By shifting the analytical focus from parents to research design, it contributes to ongoing discussions on how to develop ethically grounded, sustainable, and ecologically valid intervention models in family-based research.
