Amount of care given by daughters and perceived relationship quality with care-receiving mothersEvans, Lorina S. 10 July 1996 (has links)
The relationship between mothers and daughters has been shown to be
generally positive and strong throughout the life cycle. The relationship may
become strained, however, as mothers become dependent due to deteriorating
health or chronic health conditions. It has long been recognized in both the
gerontological and intergenerational literatures that caring for a dependent
elderly parent can be burdensome and stressful for some caregiving adult
daughters. Using the elaborated wear-and-tear hypothesis, this study examined
longitudinally the impact of the amount of care given on 140 caregiving
daughters' perception of the quality of their relationship with their elderly
dependent mothers. It was hypothesized that increases in the amount of care
given by caregiving daughters over time would lead to a corresponding decrease
in relationship quality. It was also hypothesized that relationship quality and
amount of care given would be stable over time. Results indicated that providing
more care does decrease relationship quality between caregiving daughters and
care-receiving mothers over time although it does not do so initially. Further, the
results of study showed that relationship quality and amount of care given, on
average, are stable over time. / Graduation date: 1997

Gender and ethnic issues in parenting : a study of some determinants of parenting in American Indian and non-Indian familiesKawamoto, Walter T. 10 December 1993 (has links)
An analysis was conducted to test current theories
regarding education, income, and marital satisfaction as
determinants of parenting in different ways for men and
women. The gender specific issues in parenting to be tested
were: 1) Education is positively related to parental
involvement for both men and women. 2) Marital
dissatisfaction is positively related to maternal
involvement and negatively related to paternal involvement.
3) Income is positively related to parental involvement for
both men and women.
One focus of the test of the above theories was a
sample of twenty-five American Indian families primarily
recruited with the assistance of the Confederated Tribes of
Siletz. Twenty-five non-Indian families with similar
education and income characteristics were matched with the
Siletz sample from the larger Oregon Family Study sample for
comparison/control group purposes.
Significant gender and ethnic differences in the
significance of education, income, and marital satisfaction
on paternal involvement are reported. / Graduation date: 1994

Fathers, Daughters and Masculinity in CrisisMcGlynn, Aine 05 December 2012 (has links)
This thesis engages with what has become a ubiquitous term in masculinity studies: “crisis”. I argue that the invocation of “crisis” which implies catastrophe, disaster and trauma, and the favorable reception of this invocation both in academic and popular thinking about men, has resulted in a rush to defend and reauthorize aspects of the masculine ideal. The defense of traditional masculinity risks re-entangling men with masculinity and masculinity with patriarchy. The retying of these categorical knots challenges the deconstruction of gender that feminism and early men’s studies carried out in the second half of the twentieth century in the name of equal rights and in the name of freeing both men and women from having to conform to rigid gender stereotypes – particularly in the home. In recent work by J.M. Coetzee, John Banville and Ian McEwan the male protagonists are fathers who are forced to address a crisis of authority and legitimacy. In the first three chapters I argue that fatherhood in these novels is the site wherein the masculine ideal is least likely to be deconstructed and as such, it is in the context of the relationship between father and daughter that I argue heteromasculinity is most powerfully constructed, maintained and defended. In the fourth chapter I consider Alison Bechdel’s graphic memoir Fun Home which provides a queer take on male crisis and father-daughter relationships and which represents female masculinity as a counter to the pressure to reauthorize heteromasculinity for the next historical turn.

Understanding Teen Pregnancy through the Younger Sister's Voice: A Focused EthnographySimmons, Bonnie J. 15 December 2006 (has links)
Each year in the United States between 800,000 and 900,000 adolescents, aged 19 or younger, become pregnant. Over one-half of these pregnancies end in a live birth. Several studies have shown that the younger sisters of adolescent mothers have teenage childbearing rates two to six times higher than childbearing rates of women in the general population. The purpose of this focused ethnography was to gain a better understanding of the influences of a pregnant and parenting adolescent on her younger sister. Purposeful sampling was used to recruit younger sisters of parenting teens. Fifteen (15) African American females, ranging in age from 12 to 17 years old, participated in the study. The mean age of the participants was 14. The researcher identified and selected informants through community agencies in which the informants’ older sisters participated in services for teen mothers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, field observation notes, a fieldwork journal, and a demographic information sheet. Interviews were conducted in the informant’s home. Data were analyzed using Spradley’s Development Research Sequence of a domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, componential analysis, and cultural themes (Spradley, 1979). Seven cultural themes emerged from the data: (a) Mixed Emotions, (b) Centering on Mother/Baby, (c) Childcare Engagement, (d) Sharing of Experience as Warnings, (e) Recognition of Hardship, (f) Change in Family Relationships, and (g) Intentions, Hopes, and Dreams. Findings from this study indicated that the younger sisters of parenting adolescents are greatly impacted by their older teen sister’s pregnancy and parenting. Knowledge from this study may be used to shape future interventions designed and tailored for younger sisters to discontinue the cycle of teenage childbearing in families. Nurses involved in providing care for pregnant and parenting teens need to identify younger sisters, be aware that they are at particular risk for early sexual activity and parenting, and encourage involvement of the entire family in prevention efforts.

Family capital and the self-rated health of older adults in rural China: an intergenerational perspectiveLü, Nan, 吕楠 January 2013 (has links)
Background: Self-rated health is an important predictor of adverse health outcomes (e.g. mortality) and health service use. While intergenerational family capital has been considered as one of the most important social determinants of self-rated health, the role of grandparent-grandchild dyads in self-rated health has not been fully investigated. Further, little is known about the patterns of change in trajectories of the self-rated health of older rural Chinese adults, who constitute the largest ageing population in the world.
Objectives: This study investigated the association between grandparent-grandchild family capital and the self-rated health of older adults in rural China, as well as the mediation role of the grandparent-parent relationship in the association between grandparent-grandchild family capital and self-rated health. The present study also examined the development trajectories of the self-rated health of older rural Chinese adults from the point of view of intergenerational relationship and socio-economic status.
Methods: Data for this study are derived from the Well-Being of the Elderly in Anhui Province survey. A random sample of 1,715 adults aged 60 and older were interviewed in the rural Chaohu region in 2001. A total of 1391 and 1067 respondents participated in the 2003 wave and 2006 wave respectively. New respondents were recruited for the 2009 wave and 1224 respondents were interviewed in 2009. Based on the 2009 wave of the Chaohu survey, structural equation modeling was used to examine the direct effect of grandparent-grandchild family capital on the self-rated health of older adults and the mediation role of the grandparent-parent relationship. Based on the 2001, 2003 and 2006 waves of the Chaohu survey, general growth mixture modeling was used to examine the multiple underlying trajectory patterns of self-rated health as well as the antecedents of the latent class memberships.
Results: The results showed that grandparent-grandchild family capital had a direct effect on the self-rated health of older adults in rural China. The results also showed that the grandparent-parent relationship played a partial mediation role in the association between grandparent-grandchild family capital and self-rated health. Further, a two-class model was chosen to interpret the underlying trajectory classes. The two trajectories were labeled “good but declining SRH class” and “poor and declining SRH class”.
Discussion: The findings enriched our theoretical understanding of intergenerational family capital and its effects in a cultural context that emphasizes collectivism and intergenerational exchanges. The mediator role of the grandparent-parent relationship was also highlighted in the findings, which confirmed “grandchild-as-linkage” theory. Further, there are underlying multiple trajectory patterns of the self-rated health of rural older adults. Intergenerational relationship was an important antecedent of the latent classes of self-rated health trajectories in rural China. / published_or_final_version / Social Work and Social Administration / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy
