The study set out to explore the complexities of the socio-cultural constructions of gender roles and psychological wellbeing in farm-families of Ogun state Nigeria. The intention of the study was to gain insight and understanding of the farmers' life experiences since farm-families are gendered institutions with peculiar needs, problems and aspirations. The study was motivated by a dearth of research on the constructions and determinants of psychological wellbeing and gender roles in farm-families. This thesis is therefore an attempt to fill the identified gap in knowledge, by generating empirical data on the socio-cultural constructions of psychological wellbeing and gender roles in farm-families. The thesis is essentially interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from and contributing to the bodies of knowledge in gender-based research, social psychology, family studies, developmental research, and agricultural extension. The inclusion of men's and women's views and perceptions, as opposed to a polarized view of men exclusively as the oppressors and perpetrators of female subordination is a poststructural feminist approach toward de-emphasizing gender dichotomies. In addition, the incorporation of children's perspectivesis due to recognition of family factors as determinants of children's gender identity construction, life outcomes, and the psychological wellbeing of the entire family. Research participants included forty adults (17 men and 23 women) and thirty-one children (17 boys and 14 girls), drawn from five farming communities in Ogun state Nigeria. These include: Kango, Ogijan, Boodo-Sanyaolu, Obafemi, and Ilewo-Orile. Adopting a qualitative research methodology, multiple methods of data collection were employed. These include life history methodology, in-depth interviews, focus group interviews, and interactive observation techniques. Although 'psychological wellbeing' is a difficult construct to define because of its complexity and high subjectivity, adopting the social representations' framework, the constructions,· meanings and determinants of psychological wellbeing and gender roles were allowed to emerge from the participants, within their peculiar socio-historical and cultural contexts. Findings reveal that the constructions of gender identity and gender roles in farm-families are the foundations of the internalization of gender ideals, socio-cultural constructions, psychological wellbeing and coping strategies. Children then grow up to become part of the society and continue the trans-generational perpetuation of gender ideals and reinforcement of gender stereotypes, and these have several implications for the psychological wellbeing of entire farm-family members. The problems of women-subordination vis-a-vis male-domination, therefore, have their roots in the socio-cultural constructions of gender, gender roles, and their ideological representations. Research outcomes thus provide basis for the development of sustainable culture-specific feminist strategies, which address the origins and foundations of gender stereotypes, as well as gender-sensitive and gender-specific interventions for the enhancement of farm-families' psychological wellbeing. The adoption of Yoruba terminology in the constructions of psychological wellbeing and related concepts in the thesis is the beginning of an innovative research process for inventing contextually meaningful and relevant Yoruba terminology for previously Western-based concepts. In this thesis for example, psychological wellbeing is construed as - ilera-okan, alafiaokan, ibale-okan, ilera pipe t 'okan-t 'ara; while stress and emotional disturbance are construed as - aibale-okan, iporuuru ati pakaleke okan. This is a unique contribution to knowledge. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Durban, 2003.

The research identified the profile of the villager of Vila Rural and how the program is put into practice. We analyzed the factors that make it difficult to achieve the objectives of the program, such as the production goal for self-consumption. The research was done through the collection of primary and secondary data, having as an open and closed questions, applied to all 42 families residing in Rural Village, In the response to the invitation to participate, it is highlighted that the majority of families were represented by the female. The results showed that few carry out a commercialization of the products, as well as perform functions to meet their financial needs. It was also observed that the inhabitants of Vila Rural have a shortage of financial resources, and that they depend on programs provided by Government, and also, that there is a lack of technical incentive, for a population that does not plant the products and their commercialization. / O presente estudo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa sobre a caracterização dos moradores e a prática do Programa Estatal Vilas Rurais, tendo como objeto a Vila Rural São Camilo, situada no município de Palotina, no Estado do Paraná. A pesquisa identificou o perfil dos moradores da Vila Rural e como o programa é colocado em prática. Foram analisados os fatores que dificultam que os objetivos do programa sejam alcançados, como a meta de produção para o autoconsumo. A pesquisa deu-se por meio de coleta de dados primários e de dados secundários, tendo como instrumento um questionário com perguntas abertas e fechadas, aplicado à totalidade das 42 famílias residentes na Vila Rural. Na resposta ao convite para a participação, destaca-se que a maioria das famílias foi representada pelo sexo feminino. E os resultados demonstraram que poucos realizam a comercialização dos produtos, bem como desempenham funções fora da vila rural para suprir as suas necessidades financeiras. Observou-se, ainda, que os habitantes da Vila Rural têm carência de recursos financeiros, que dependem de programas disponibilizados pelo governo, e também que existe falta de incentivo e de apoio técnico para instruir a população no plantio dos produtos e na sua comercialização.

The viability of rural Neighbourhood Houses may be under threat in South Australia as a result of national and state human service policies. Such policies have resulted in funding withdrawals, closures, the decline of many rural communities. In addition, other local inhibiting factors such as access, stigma, lack of paid staff, volunteers, facilitators and childcare affect Houses' ability to be viable organisations. This study seeks to answer the questions: are Neighbourhood Houses a viable proposition in rural SA; and, are they practicable and serving a useful purpose in contributing to community cohesiveness and wellbeing in rural communities? To examine the viability of Houses and ascertain whether they are contributing to individual and community wellbeing, their roles and functions are critically examined in the policy context and socio-economic environment. / thesis (MResearch)--University of South Australia, 2001.

The purpose of this study was to describe the literacy-related characteristics of the family and home environment that contribute to the development of siblings who are good readers from rural, low income status families.The case study research method was used in order to gather comprehensive and in-depth information about each informant that reflected the reality of the literacy influences. The case study further aided in the investigation of the complex social unit of the family, which consisted of multiple characteristics that influenced literacy attainment. Each case was analyzed in and of itself, and then a cross case analysis was conducted.Five family-related characteristics that influenced the literacy acquisition and attainment of the siblings emerged from the data analysis. The family value for books and literacy materials, evident through the abundance of materials placed in prominent places within the homes and through the careful storage of literacy materials, was evident in each family. Both families were characterized by an enjoyment for reading and writing, evidenced by the number of books each sibling read, trips to the library, reading aloud in the home, and child created written products. Family literacy practices such as discussions about books, a homework routine, regular trips to the library, and members of the family reading to each other were characteristics present in each of the case studies. Another characteristic evident in each of the families was their value for education. Parents expected the siblings to attend college. The siblings also expected that their graduation from college would improve their socioeconomic status. Each case study was also characterized by the presence of support systems that aided in the literacy attainment of the siblings.The siblings all had a love for books and literacy materials, as well as being persistent, responsible, and accountable in their efforts to attain literacy success. The children were intrinsically motivated to be successful, not only in school, but in life. Support and encouragement for literacy development through the home and school contexts were provided by the parents. Family support systems were also fundamental to the literacy attainment of the siblings. / Department of Elementary Education
