The influence of the daughter's managerial style on father-daughter work relationships in family-owned businessesBottaro, Michelle Reser 14 April 1993 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of a daughter's managerial style and her personal relationship with her father in father-daughter work relationships in family-owned businesses. This research is an attempt to reveal daughters' perceptions of these occurrences and interactions which often are overlooked in current research and everyday practices. The theoretical framework stems from four distinct but connected areas of research: family-owned businesses, father/daughter relationships, father-son relationships in and outside of family-owned businesses, and men and women in management. The data in this study revealed that the majority of the daughters chose and implemented managerial styles different from their fathers'. However, the daughters reported that differences in style did not create substantial problems for their father/daughter work relationships. Six of the seven daughters reported that having had the experience of working outside of their family-owned businesses provided them the opportunity to develop their own personal differences in management styles. Yet, the apparent incongruence of these daughters' reports reveals that the daughters were more concerned with preserving intergenerational continuity than with facing up to conflicting beliefs in management. Furthermore, the research found that the decision-making styles in which the fathers and daughters engaged did differ and the differences affected their familial relationships in limited ways. Overall, the daughters perceived the interaction between their managerial style and personal relationships with their fathers to be compatible and not debilitating. / Graduation date: 1993

Mutter-Tochter Beziehungen in deutschsprachigen Romanen im Jahrzehnt nach dem "Jahr der Frau"Aulls, Katharina January 1989 (has links)
This dissertation examines mother-daughter relationships in six novels written by German speaking women authors in the decade after the "Year of the Woman." Three novels depict positive mother-daughter relations: Ausflug mit der Mutter (1976), by Gabriele Wohmann, Gestern war Heute (1979), by Ingeborg Drewitz, Die dreizehnte Fee (1983), by Katja Behrens. Three others portray a negative mother-daughter relationship: Die Eisheiligen (1979), by Helga Novak, Die Zuchtigung (1985), by Waltraud Anna Mitgutsch, and Die Klavierspielerin (1983), by Elfriede Jelinek. Common to all novels is a strong autobiographical tendency and the central importance of the mother in the development of the daughter's self-identity. / The complexity and problems of mother-daughter relationships are analyzed as an outcome of female socialization within a patriarchal society. Chapter I deals with historical, economic and psychological oppression of women. The resulting internalization of the role of inferiority and dependency leads to the subsequent repression of their own daughters. Chapter II discusses new contributions in the fields of psychology and sociology to the understanding of female identity formation through relationships. Chapter III provides a two-pronged analysis of each novel by describing the individual mother-daughter relationship in comparison with the outcomes of Chapters I and II, and by addressing the narrator's process of putting the experience into a unique literary form and thus contributing to women's literature. / Themes that are unique in each novel are: the emotional stress of the adult daughter trying to redefine her relationship with her widowed mother (Ausflug mit der Mutter), the dichotomy of woman in her nurturing role as mother and in her quest for self-realization (Gestern war Heute), the difficulty of breaking the repetitive cycle of the female role of dependency (Die dreizehnte Fee). All of the following novels assess the damaged self-identity of the daughter caused by a destructive mother. While the daughters survive due to fierce resistance (Die Eisheiligen) or escape into the world of art (Die Zuchtigung) there is no hope for the daughter in Die Klavierspielerin due to her identification with the oppressor.

Influence of family disruption/father absence on daughters' age at menarche: A genetically and environmentally controlled sibling comparison studyTither, Jacqueline M. January 2013 (has links)
Previous research has demonstrated that exposure to family disruption/father absence (due to parental relationship dissolution) is a significant risk factor for early pubertal development in daughters. Moreover, the earlier in life that this exposure occurs, the greater the risk of these outcomes for girls. Two opposing classes of explanation have been proposed for this reliable finding. First, evolutionary-based developmental experience models have proposed that father absence may actually cause early pubertal development in daughters through mechanisms that remain to be elucidated. Second, this association may arise from either a genetic or a family-wide environmental confound. To discriminate between these two competing classes of explanation (i.e., causal vs. noncausal), a retrospective study employing a community sample of full biological sister pairs was conducted in New Zealand. This study examined menarchael age in (a) a primary group comprising age-discrepant biologically disrupted/father absent sister pairs (n = 68), and (b) a matched control group comprising age-discrepant biologically intact/father present sister pairs (n = 93). According to the causation model, if greater exposure to family disruption/father absence causes earlier pubertal development in girls, then in families in which (a) full biological sisters are discrepant in age, and (b) the younger sister has experienced more prolonged father absence than has her older sister, younger sisters should be at greater risk for earlier pubertal development. By contrast, if a genetic or family-wide environmental confound explains this association, full biological sisters should not systematically differ in pubertal timing as a function of birth order, even if they have experienced different amounts of father absence.
The unique contribution of the current study to this area of inquiry is its employment of a differential sibling exposure design to test the explanatory value of the two opposing classes of explanation (i.e., causal versus noncausal). This genetically and environmentally controlled sibling design was utilised (a) to test the central hypothesis that the birth order/age discrepancy (older versus younger) between sisters would interact with family type (biologically disrupted vs. biologically intact) to predict the size of sibling differences in menarcheal age, and (b) to test for potential moderating effects of paternal dysfunction. Consistent with evolutionary causal models, the current sibling comparison study revealed that within biologically disrupted/father-absent families, younger sisters (who had more prolonged exposure to father absence) had earlier menarcheal ages than did their older sisters. The current study was therefore not only able to distinguish between the two competing classes of explanations, but its findings plausibly supported a causal rather than a noncausal explanation for the association between father absence and earlier pubertal timing in girls. Moreover, it revealed that this association is more nuanced than previously thought, because the accelerating effect of family disruption/father absence on daughters’ menarcheal timing was moderated by fathers’ functioning in the family.
The current study has eight important limitations that can be used to direct future research. These limitations are detailed along with proffered suggestions (where applicable) for addressing them in future studies. Possible mediating mechanisms for the earlier menarcheal timing found in daughters from biologically disrupted/father absent families are also proposed. Finally, the implications of the current study’s findings for both parents and daughters in biologically disrupted/father absent families are discussed.

Sand BeachLivingston, Kimberly S. January 1997 (has links)
This project consisted of a series of short stories which worked together creating a larger fictional piece in the form of a non-continuous narrative. This non-continuous narrative is in the tradition of Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, and Louise Erdrich's Love Medicine. The stories in this type of fiction are connected by similar themes and settings, allowing the reader to participate directly in the creative process. The reader helps create the fiction by drawing his or her own conclusions about the characters and places from between the individual stories. By involving the reader more directly in the outcome, this type of narrative creates a more emotional response to the work. Each of the stories in this project were set in a town called Sand Beach, Michigan, and involved four generations of women in a single family. The major themes of the stories were mother/daughter relationships, healing, and redemption. Common images in the stories presented were, Lake Huron, the town of Sand Beach, and a rock in the local region bearing Native American petroglyphs Each of these images participated in the development of the common themes. / Department of English

Body image and weight concerns : assessing the relationship between mothers and their daughtersMetcalf, Jessica L. 09 July 2011 (has links)
Weight and body image are issues many females face that can lead to unhealthy
exercising and extreme dieting. This paper examines the relationship between perceptions
of mothers’ attitudes and behaviors regarding weight and body image and their 18-25
year old daughters’ attitudes and behaviors. This research utilizes a survey of 876 females
at a Midwestern university. Respondents report being at least somewhat uncomfortable
with their weight and report a lack of confidence with their weight. Regression results
indicate that females’ attitudes and behaviors are somewhat explained by perceptions of
their mothers’ attitudes and behaviors. Mothers making negative comments about their
own weight, mothers telling their daughters to lose weight and mothers’ weight loss
behaviors significantly influence respondents’ weight satisfaction, self-esteem, weight
loss and weight control behaviors. This research identifies factors contributing to
unhealthy eating behaviors and poor body image, and suggests how mothers can help
improve their daughters’ body image. / Department of Sociology

Through their daughters' eyes : Jewish mothers and daughters : a legacy from the HolocaustBerkovic, Miriam Scherer January 2003 (has links)
This study examined the narratives and stories of 13 daughters of Jewish women Holocaust survivors. A qualitative multi-methodological integrative approach that incorporated feminist standpoint epistemologies and elements oF grounded theory was used. Mechanisms such as the use of an auditor and judges were utilized to address the researcher's reflexive stance and subjective frame. Participants' data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Interviews were subjected to extensive qualitative analyses and were compared to find recursive themes and sub-themes. The results oF this study indicated that Holocaust survivor mothers were conceptualized by their daughters as being either strong, challenged or both. Participants described the lessons they learned from their mothers' survivor narratives and stories in terms of strength, resilience, transcendency and Jewish identity. Participants considered these lessons to be vital aspects of their lives and strategies for living.

Decision-making influence strategies and relationship quality among elderly mothers and their caregiving daughtersJones-Aust, Laura Lynn 09 October 1992 (has links)
It is well established that family members,
particularly adult children, are involved in their frail
parents' decision making. It remains unclear however, how
intergenerational decision-making influence is exercised and
how it relates to personal and relationship characteristics.
This study examined the impact of decision-making strategies
and a mother's level of dependence on her daughter on
perceived relationship quality as measured by intimacy.
The purposive sample consisted of 64 pairs of elderly
mothers and their caregiving daughters. Face-to-face
interviews explored the connections of various decision-making
influence strategies, demographic characteristics,
and relationship quality. Mother's level of dependence on
her daughter for assistance was measured by a list of 53
caregiving tasks and activities. A series of four multiple
regression analyses was used to predict relationship quality
from the decision-making influence strategies (i.e., option-seeking,
overt negative, covert negative, positive) used by
elderly mothers and their caregiving daughters and mother's
level of dependence on her daughter.
The factors that were most predictive of mothers'
perceived intimacy were: (a) mothers' reported use of
positive decision-making strategies (e.g., asking partner
how she feels, imagining her feelings) and mothers' reported
use of fewer covert negative strategies (e.g., ignoring the
need for a decision, withholding support); and (b)
daughters' reported use of fewer overt negative strategies
(e.g., showing anger, irritation, criticizing).
The factors that were most predictive of daughters'
perceived intimacy were: (a) daughters' reported use of
fewer overt negative strategies (e.g., showing anger,
irritation, criticizing); (b) daughters' reported use of
positive influence strategies (e.g., asking partner how she
feels, imagining her feelings); and (c) mothers' reported
use of positive strategies (e.g., asking how she feels,
trying to imagine her feelings).
Mother's level of dependence on her daughter was not
found to be predictive of mothers' or daughters' perceived
intimacy. These results as well as recommendations for
future research and practice are presented. / Graduation date: 1993
