Interaction-constructionists are interested in exploring how individuals create meaning and negotiate their relationships through their actions and communication. They would be inclined to analyze the body language of the mother and children in the photograph to understand the nonverbal cues that they are communicating to each other. They would seek to understand how the mother and children are constructing their relationship and the meaning they are making of their situation. Exchange theorists are more concerned with the exchange of resources in a social system, structure-functionalists focus on the roles and functions of institutions, and family developmentalists are concerned with the stages of development and transitions in families.
