Influences of the Mother-Daughter Relationship on Motivations for Sexual BehaviorBarrett, Susan 05 1900 (has links)
The influences of family relationship variables on motivations for adolescent sexual risk-taking were investigated. Previous research has linked these variables to adolescent sexual behavior, however, the nature of these links has not been specifically examined. Family variables were operationalized as child attachment to mother, parental support of each other, parental conflict strategies, and parental monitoring. Emotional motivations were operationalized as attachment and affiliation needs. The sample consisted of 40 single females ages 18 to22 recruited from a local pregnancy care center. Predictions that parent-child relationship and parental influence would predict emotional motivations for sexual risk-taking were not supported. The variable most highly related to sexual risk-taking, though not included in the model tested, was father's destructive conflict strategies. Theoretical and methodological issues are discussed.

The Relationship Between Maternal Parents' Musical Experience and the Musical Development of Two- and Three-Year-Old GirlsJenkins, Jeanette Marion Davis 12 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was twofold; to investigate the relationships between the musical development of two- and three-year-old girls and their mothers' musical backgrounds and the music in their home environments; and to investigate the significance of the differences in the musical development of two- and three-year-old girls with reference to their socio-economic status (SES) and ethnicity. The relationships between the musical development of all subjects and music in the home environment were positive, rendering correlation coefficients that were statistically significant. These statistical inferences indicated that the musical home environment (the product of the mother, the father, and other adults, and the availability of musical items and activities) has the strongest relationship to the musical development of the young child. This influence begins before the age of two and continues during the third year. It was also hypothesized that there would be a significant difference in the musical development of the two- and three- year- old girls with reference to SES and ethnicity. Analysis of variance was employed to ascertain these differences. The subjects remained in age groups and were statistically regrouped by SES and ethnicity for these analyses. From the inferences rendered by these analyses, neither SES nor ethnicity made statistically significant differences in the musical development of these young girls.

Desi women on the forty acres : exploring intergenerational issues and identity development of South Asian American college studentsRuzicka, Smita Sundaresan 22 June 2011 (has links)
South Asian Americans are one of the fastest growing sub-groups within the Asian American population in the United States today. Between 1960 and 1990, the South Asian American population witnessed an increase of approximately 900% (Leonard, 1997). This increase in population also corresponds with the increase in South Asian American students enrolling in institutions of higher education. However, despite their physical visibility on college and university campuses across the nation, South Asian American students remain invisible in higher education research. Student affairs practitioners have a limited understanding of the unique needs and issues confronted by South Asian American college students.
This qualitative study addressed the paucity of research on South Asian American college students by specifically exploring the college experiences of South Asian American women. In particular, the study examined the central intergenerational issues between first-generation South Asian mothers who immigrated to the United States as adults and second-generation South Asian American daughters who are currently enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin. Secondly, it investigated the impact of these intergenerational issues on the identity development and overall college experiences of second-generation South Asian American female college students. Using a postcolonial, critical feminist framework, this study attempted to dismantle the one-dimensional, dominant narrative of South Asian Americans as the successful, high-achieving, model minority and present instead the multi-layered and complex narratives of these participants.
Key findings indicated that the intergenerational issues between mothers and daughters were complex with both negative and positive impacts on the mother-daughter relationships, identity development, and the overall college experiences of the daughters. The transmission of culture and cultural values were primary ways in which mothers affected the identity development of their daughters. South Asian American peers and social networks were another significant source of identity development for the students. Additionally, narratives of both mothers and daughters revealed that the impact of the model minority image on women was qualitatively different than men where women had to often strive to fulfill simultaneous expectations of being a successful student and professional as well as conforming to the standards of being the model traditional South Asian wife and mother. / text

Merginų ir jų motinų tarpusavio santykių, nepasitenkinimo kūnu ir motinų naudojamo auklėjimo stiliaus sąsajos / Girls and their mothers relationship between body dissatisfaction and mothers used educational style of interfaceTkačiova, Jekaterina 21 December 2009 (has links)
Pastaraisiais metais vis daugiau susirūpinimą kelia prastėjanti merginų sveikta (Forbes ir kt., 2004), o nepasitenkinimas kūnu siejamas su neigiama fizine ir psichine sveikata bei rizikingu elgesiu (dietos naudojimas, badavimas ir kt.), kuris susijęs su valgymo sutrikimų vystimusi, žema saviverte, depresija, savęs žalojimu ir net savižudybėmis. Darbo tikslas - ištirti merginų ir jų motinų tarpusavio santykių sąsajas su nepasitenkinimu kūnu bei motinų naudojamu auklėjimo stiliumi.
Tiriamųjų kontingentas ir tyrimo metodai. Tyrime dalyvavo 259 II – IV klasių Zarasų bei Utenos miestų gimnazijų moksleivės bei 259 mergaičių motinos. Atliekant tyrimą, naudotos šios metodikos: kūno formos klausimynas (BSQ), pasitenkinimo kūno dalimis klausimynas (BSS), figūros vertinimo skalė (FRS), požiūrio į santykius su motina skalė (CAM), vaikų auklėjimo stiliaus klausimynas (PSDQ).
Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad motinų nepasitenkinimas savo kūno dalimis yra susijęs su dukrų nepasitenkinimu savo kūnu, o mergaitės, kurios santykius su motina vertina blogiau yra labiau nepatenkintos savo kūnu, nei mergaitės, kurios santykius vertina geriau. Statistiškai reikšmingų skirtumų tarp motinų nepatenkinimo savo kūnu ir dukros, santykių su motina problemiškumo vertinimo nerasta. Motinos, labiau naudojančios autoritarinį auklėjimo stilių yra labiau nepasitenkinusios savo kūno išvaizda nei motinos, naudojančios mažiau autoritarinį auklėjimo stilių. Motinų naudojamas autoritarinis auklėjimo stilius nėra...

The aim - to explore girls and their mothers relationship connection to interfaces with body dissatisfaction and mother usable educational style.
Subjects and methods. The study included 259 girls of II – IV gymnasium classes in Zarasai anr Utena and 259 girls' mother. The study used this technique: the body shape questionnaire (BSQ), satisfaction body questionnaire (BSS), the figure rating scale (FRS), Child's attitude toward mother scale (CAM), The Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ).
The results showed that mothers' body parts dissatisfaction is associated with daughter’s body parts dissatisfaction, and girls whose relationship with her mother is worse are more dissatisfied with their bodies, than girls who have beter relationship. Statistically significant differences between mothers bodys dissatisfaction and daughters, relationships with her mother problematic assessment was not found. Mothers who more use an authoritarian parentng style are more disatisfied with appearance than mothers who use less an authoritarian parentng style. Maternal used authoritarian parentng style isn‘t statistically significant... [to full text]

The experiences of mid-life daughters who are caregivers to their mothers : a phenomenological studyKing, Mary Tiara (Ti) January 1990 (has links)
Many mid-life daughters are primary caregivers to their elderly mothers. However, in most research studies daughters have been grouped with other caregivers; thus, the daughters' experiences have not been specifically identified. Without this information nurses will be unable to adequately assist mid-life caregiving daughters to attain their optimal levels of health.
The phenomenological research method was the methodology used to elicit the experiences of the mid-life daughters. The phenomenological method was congruent with the feminist perspective -- the conceptual framework -- which guided the study. The feminist perspective elucidated the importance of eliciting not only the visible caregiving experiences of the mid-life daughters, but also their internal experiences -- their feelings -- and the meanings they gave to their experiences.
The researcher recruited subjects for the study through a daughters-of-aging-parents program which was held at the Women's Resource Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia. In order to collect the data, the researcher interviewed the subjects. Congruent with the phenomenological method, data collection and data analysis ran concurrently throughout the study.
The conclusions that the researcher drew from the findings of this study include the following: at the start of
a caregiving daughter-mother relationship, a daughter is very responsive to the needs of her mother; when a daughter realizes that she is self-sacrificing herself in order to care for her mother, she becomes less responsive to her mother's needs and focuses, instead, on caring for herself; a daughter who is able to identify her own needs and then act on them Is able to care for her mother and herself in a manner that meets both their needs; a daughter experiences a number of emotions while providing care for her mother; a daughter uses the logical process of working towards healthy differentiation in order to counterbalance her emotional reactivity, and a daughter who successfully counterbalances her emotions with logic discovers her basic self and becomes an entity distinct from, yet interdependent with, her mother. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Nursing, School of / Graduate

Women Like and Unlike Us: A Literary Analysis of the Relationships Between Immigrant Mothers and Their Bicultural DaughtersYalimaiwai, Davinia 31 August 2010 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The analytical and creative chapters of my thesis display the best and the worst of bicultural daughters and their mothers as writers represent this relationship in short stories. Throughout the analytical chapters, I show that the through their fiction these writers help us understand that the bicultural daughter/immigrant mother relationship not only is affected by general feelings of matrophobia – as Adrienne Rich points out – but also by different pressures and paradigms that can only be experienced if the daughter belongs to and/or associates herself with a different culture than that of her mother. I hypothesize that the stories reflect these paradigms as usually negative because the pressures from both “American” society and the immigrant mother are often so great that the bicultural daughter cannot embrace either one fully. However, with the adverse feelings from both mother and daughter, comes a realization from both that neither will succeed in dominating the other. Once this is established, both mother and daughter will either reach a consensual agreement to disagree, or will continue having a hostile relationship. By including my own short stories in context with the analyses done for the stories by Kingston, Tan, Pietrzyk and Danticat, I hope to bring interest to this genre for further analysis on the bicultural daughter and immigrant mother relationship as depicted in short stories.

Women Becoming: a Feminist Critical Analysis of Mother-Daughter Relationships in Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club" and "The Kitchen God's Wife"Curton, Carman C. 12 1900 (has links)
This analysis of Tan's first two novels reveals that her female characters suffer from the strains critics like Amy Ling say result from the double paradox of filling the roles of mother or daughter as minority women in a white, male society. Recognizing this double paradox offers Tan's characters, and her readers, the opportunity to resolve the conflicts between mothers and daughters in The Joy Luck Club. Using the theories of psychologist Kathie Carlson helps readers understand how the protagonist of The Kitchen God's Wife resolves similar conflicts with her daughter and her own mother by seeking support from a mythic mother-figure, a Goddess of her own making.

The association among care given, perceived reciprocity, and frustration with caregiving for daughtersAlger, Georgina 11 July 1996 (has links)
Decreasing mortality rates and increasing life
expectancy are contributing factors in a trend currently
referred to as the "graying" of America. Some members of
this aging population will require caregiving support from
their families. Because women tend to outlive men, adult
daughters generally assume this important role for their
widowed mothers.
As the health of the care recipient declines, the
caregiver often suffers from stress or frustration. Some
current research links health declines with decreases in
elders' abilities to reciprocate instrumentally for care
received. Other research suggests elders compensate for
their inabilities to give instrumental aid such as advice
and money by continuing to give socioemotional aid such as
support and love. It is not known how caregiver stress
levels relate to the exchange of socioemotional aid.
Thus, this study examined the association among care
given, perceived reciprocity, and frustration with
daughters' caregiving. The question asked was: Does
perceived socioemotional aid moderate the impact of the
level of caregiving on frustration with caregiving for
daughters? Social exchange theory was the perspective
utilized for this research. This theory posits that an
individual's desire to reciprocate is due to a general moral
norm of obligation and that when people can/do reciprocate,
the relationship costs decline.
The sample for this study consisted of 164 dependent-mother/caregiving-daughter pairs. Frequencies, means, and
standard deviations of background characteristics of all
study participants were reported. A correlation matrix
showed the relationships among variables. A series of
multiple regressions were performed to examine the
relationships among the variables as well as the predicted
interaction.
Results indicated that increased care given to mothers
was a significant predictor of increased frustration with
caregiving for daughters, and increased perceived
socioemotional aid to daughters was a significant predictor
of decreased frustration with caregiving for daughters.
There was no interaction effect, however. That is, the
effect of the amount of care given on frustration was not
moderated by socioemotional aid from care recipients.
Limitations, implications, and recommendations for further
research are discussed. These recommendations include the need for additional research in the area of lifespan or
generalized reciprocity and intergenerational
relationships. / Graduation date: 1997
