The thesis deals with the inter-generational transmission of generalized trust. The generalized trust (as an optimistic attitude toward interaction with unknown people) is known as an important component of social capital and as a requirement of a functioning society. The starting point is the cultural view of the trust as the moral norm with deep historical roots, according to these theories we are learning to trust in early childhood from our parents. The motivation for the creation of the thesis is an absence of recent studies and studies from post-socialist countries on the topic of transmission of trust from parents to children. The cultural theories of generalized trust are assuming intergenerational transmission of trust largely without empirical evidence. The proving of trust socialization could provide an insight into the stability of attitude over time and space. The data from the first wave of The Czech Household Panel Survey from 2015 was used to analyse the connection between the children's generalized trust and the parents' generalized trust. The relationship between children's and parents' generalized trust was discovered. The hypothesis suggesting a stronger influence of the mother on the child's trust than the influence of the father was not confirmed. The children of...

A pesquisa aqui apresentada teve por objetivo estudar os processos de socialização a que são submetidos jovens que aderem a organizações que buscam preservar ou subverter a ordem. Por meio de entrevistas, observações de campo, análise de documentos e pesquisa bibliográfica, procurei desvendar: 1) os processos de socialização conduzidos por essas organizações; 2) como se desenham as teias familiares, afetivas, profissionais e escolares, nas quais os jovens integrantes estavam ou estão enredados e de que forma elas os compeliram a aderir a movimentos que buscam preservar ou subverter a ordem; 3) como agem essas organizações para reforçar ou atenuar em seus integrantes determinadas formas de sentir, pensar, agir e se relacionar com os outros e com o mundo. Foram escolhidas, para a condução do estudo, a Academia da Força Aérea (AFA), instituição que forma oficiais para a Aeronáutica, uma das três Forças Armadas (FFAA), protetoras da ordem por excelência, e a Juventude Pátria Livre (JPL), grupo marxista-leninista subordinado ao Partido Pátria Livre (PPL), antigo Movimento Revolucionário 8 de Outubro (MR8), siglas que defendem, a longo prazo, a subversão da ordem para a implantação de uma sociedade igualitária e socialista (ou seja, a construção de uma nova ordem). Os dados coletados sugerem pontos de convergência na socialização de militares da AFA/Aeronáutica e de militantes da JPL/PPL, como também identificam falsas similaridades e diferenças significativas. Os pontos de convergência são os seguintes: 1) forte identidade de grupo e preocupação com a sociedade (senso de coletividade acima do senso de individualidade); 2) apego a valores patrióticos e nacionalistas; 3) ética da missão dada - missão cumprida; 4) diferente percepção do ser voluntário, em comparação com o que estamos habituados no senso comum; 5) ética corporal e de vestuário explícita e institucionalizada, no caso dos militares, e implícita e não institucionalizada, mas também perceptível, no caso dos militantes; 6) recrutamento endógeno; 7) vigorosa preocupação com a doutrina. As falsas similaridades e divergências significativas também podem ser agrupadas em sete pontos: 1) diferentes relações com a cidade; 2) escolarização dos entrevistados e dos antepassados; 3) religião; 4) adesão a outras organizações; 5) vida itinerante; 6) apoio familiar; 7) sacrifícios. / The research presented here had the objective of studying the socialization processes that young people are subjected to adhere to organizations that seek to preserve or overturn the order. Through interviews, field observations, analysis of documents and literature, I tried to unravel: 1) socialization processes conducted by these organizations; 2) how to design the family, emotional, professional and educational webs, in which young members were or are caught and how they compelled them to join movements that seek to preserve or overturn the order; 3) how act these organizations to enhance or mitigate its members in certain ways to feel, think, act and relate with others and with the world. I chose to study Academia da Força Aérea (AFA), an institution that forms officials for Aeronautics, one of the three Armed Forces, protective order par excellence, and Juventude Pátria Livre (JPL), marxist-leninist group subordinate to the Partido Pátria Livre (PPL), former Movimento Revolucionário 8 de Outubro (MR8), groups that stand, in the long term, the subversion of the order for the deployment of an egalitarian socialist society (ie, building of a new order). Results suggest points of convergence in the socialization of military AFA/Aeronautics and militants JPL/PPL, but also identify false similarities and differences. Convergent points are: 1) strong group identity and concern for society (sense of collectivity above the sense of individuality); 2) attachment to patriotic and nationalist values; 3) ethics given mission - mission accomplished; 4) different perception of \"volunteering\", compared to what we used in the common sense; 5) body and explicit and institutionalized ethical clothing, in the case of the military, and implicit and not institutionalized, but also noticeable, in the case of the militants; 6) endogenous recruitment; 7) strong concern with doctrine. False similarities and significant differences can also be grouped into seven points: 1) different relationships with the city; 2) education of the respondents and ancestors; 3) religion; 4) adherence to other organizations; 5) itinerant life; 6) family support; 7) sacrifices.

The thesis focuses on the patterns of nonmarital childbearing and its influence on the health of newborns in the Czech Republic between 1990 and 2010. Numerous and profound social changes took part in these two decades after the fall of state socialism. Socioeconomic inequalities grew, a competitive job market was introduced and social policy was reformed. Family behaviour changed, as well. A more than four-fold rise of the proportion of children born outside marriage was among the most remarkable changes in this regard. Two research questions were addressed: 1. how did unmarried motherhood and its socioeconomic background change; 2. how did these changes influence disparities in the health of newborns by family arrangement. Data from the birth register are used for answering these questions and analysed with multilevel regression models. The method was aimed at explaining variability between contexts defined by time and space. Health of newborns is measured by birth weight. Family arrangement of mothers is measured with their marital status. Unmarried mothers are further split by the presence of a partner measured with the mother's willingness to declare child's father. The results show that birth outcomes on nonmarital children improved and marital status gap in birth weight closed substantially in the...

This study was undertaken in an attempt to investigate the impact of family, threatened egotism, and reciprocity on a person’s use of intimate violence. Threatened egotism proposes that aggression is the result of high but unstable self-esteem, which is conceptualized as high self-esteem coupled with high narcissism. Self-report questionnaires were administered to randomly selected cluster samples of 423 college students, 147 males and 276 females. The mean age is approximately 22 with 93% indicating they are White and 7% non-White. While no support was found for threatened egotism, violence witnessed in the family of origin and reciprocity were found to significantly impact intimate violence. Analyses conducted separately for males and females indicate that these factors operate differently based on gender.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) impacts the lives of millions of individuals. Previous studies frequently cite family-of-origin aggression as a risk factor for later experiences with IPV. The current study sought to identify factors that explain and moderate risk for dating psychological aggression (DPA) in college adults, and gender differences in those associations. Participants (464 women, 142 men) aged 18 to 37 years, who were in a current romantic relationship lasting at least 3 months, completed measures of past psychological aggression in the family-of-origin (PAF), current emotion dysregulation, and DPA perpetrated in current intimate relationships. Emotion dysregulation mediated the relationship between PAF and current DPA; however, differences among specific types of PAF and gender were noted. Results support an intergenerational transmission of family aggression and suggest that parent–child gender dyads influence this process. The findings also provide evidence that higher levels of drinking are associated with increased emotion dysregulation.

Introduction  Intergenerational transmission of substance abuse (SA) is established in epidemiological literature. However, the exact patterns are not well understood. The current study explores the association between grandparental SA and grandchild SA as well as the extent to which this association operates via SA (homotypic continuity) and psychopathology (heterotypic continuity) in the parental generation.  Methods  This prospective multigenerational cohort study (n=29,115) uses data on all individuals born in 1953 and living in the Stockholm Metropolitan Area in 1963 (parental generation), their parents (grandparental generation) and their children (grandchild generation). Linear probability modelling is used to estimate the mediating effect of exposure to parental SA, psychopathology, both, or none, on the association between grandparental SA and grandchild SA.  Results  Results suggest that grandchildren of individuals with SA are twice as likely to develop SA if their parents have psychiatric disorders and not SA (26% compared to 13% if the grandparents did not have SA), marginally even more likely than those whose parents have SA (25%). Thus, both homotypic and heterotypic intergenerational continuity in SA can be observed.  Conclusions  This study demonstrates the importance of accounting for alternative pathways of intergenerational transmission of SA and urges addressing the elevated risk of grandchildren of people with SA whose parents have mental health problems.
