ABSTRACT Despite the Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) Supreme Court decision allowing same-sex marriage, the current political climate has emboldened state legislatures in the United States to push for anti-LGBTQ adoption legislation, some citing that LGBTQ couples have a negative effect on children. This meta-analysis synthesized data from 32 studies on 6 developmental outcomes (child gender role behaviour, gender identity, sexual orientation, cognitive function, psychological adjustment, and quality of parent–child relationship). The overall effect size of having same-sex parents on the developmental outcomes of the children was positive and significantly different from that of heterosexual parents. Moderator analyses found that location, socioeconomic status, type of relationship, date of publication, and the child's sexual preference were significant. We provide implications for practitioners and policy, as well as recommendations for future research in this area.
尽管2015年奥贝格费尔诉霍奇斯案(Obergefell v. Hodges, 2015)最高法院判决允许同性婚姻，但当前的政治气候使美国各州立法机构更加大胆地推动反LGBTQ收养立法，一些人认为LGBTQ伴侣对孩子有负面影响。本荟萃分析综合了儿童性别角色行为、性别认同、性取向、认知功能、心理适应和亲子关系质量等6项发展指标的32项研究数据。同性父母对儿童发展结果的总体效应量为正，显著高于异性父母。调节分析发现，地点、社会经济地位、关系类型、出版日期和孩子的性取向是显著的。我们提供了对从业者和政策的启示，以及对该领域未来研究的建议。

ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to propose a model of risk factors for adolescent materialism related to insecurity feeling from parents and peers. Teenagers aged 13–16 were surveyed. The results of the study showed a good fit for the tested model of the sources of materialism linked to insecurity feeling. Parental emotional support, occurrence of threatening events in the life of the teenager and peer pressure were important predictors of teen materialism. Peer pressure mediated the relationship between parental support, both emotional and material, and teen materialism. The assumed effect of peer pressure mediation in the relationship between peer to peer consumer communication and teen materialism was not confirmed while a direct relationship between peer to peer consumer communication and adolescent materialism was observed. In conclusion, the results of the presented study indicate that the simultaneous occurrence of the three: lack of parental support, occurrence of life-threatening events, and peer pressure constitutes a risk factor of adolescent materialism.
摘要本研究旨在建立青少年物质主义与父母和同伴不安全感相关的风险因素模型。调查对象是13-16岁的青少年。研究结果表明，物质主义的来源与不安全感相关联的模型非常吻合。父母的情感支持、青少年生活中威胁性事件的发生和同伴压力是青少年物质主义的重要预测因子。同伴压力在父母的情感和物质支持与青少年物质主义之间起中介作用。peer - to - peer consumer communication与青少年物质主义之间存在直接关系，而peer - to - peer consumer communication与青少年物质主义之间存在直接关系，这一假设在peer - to - peer consumer communication与青少年物质主义之间的中介作用尚未得到证实。综上所述，本研究结果表明，缺乏父母支持、发生威胁生命事件和同伴压力三者同时发生构成青少年物质主义的危险因素。

ABSTRACT Despite the chronicity and biopsychosocial significance of fatigue in sickle cell disease (SCD), it is rarely prioritized in understanding illness experiences and the social consequences of SCD for children, young people and their families. This study examined fatigue's social meaning and significance for young people with SCD. This examination involved perspectives on parental (maternal) care/support. We adopted a constructivist grounded theory approach. Data for the study was gathered from 24 purposively sampled adolescents with SCD in Ghana. A multi-method approach, combining semi-structured and photo-elicitation interviews, was used to generate data to ensure comprehensiveness and credibility. The findings indicated that adolescents with SCD perceived their gender to mediate their mothers’ care and expectations. According to them, their mothers’ interpretations of the significance of SCD for them were dependent on gendered cultural norms. The girls described their mothers as prioritizing their ability to conform to gendered expectations over their illness and limitations. By contrast, the boys presented their mothers as prioritizing their illness over meeting gendered expectations. In conclusion, gendered parenting practices influence adolescents’ social status, sense of self, and ability to pursue independence and self-care. Consequently, cultural (gender) expectations should be considered in parental education and family interventions targeting chronically-ill children.

ABSTRACT There is a growing interest in the study of young people with care experience both globally and more recently, in the Global South. These young people, also known as care leavers, are not well studied particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. The gap lies mostly in our understanding of care leaver’s family relationships, particularly how they make sense of the term family considering their separation experience. A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted with care leavers in Zimbabwe (n = 30) on their notions of the ‘ideal’ family. The ideology of family has traditionally been based on the heteronormative nuclear family, with two parents in a heterosexual relationship. For care leavers with a history of family separation, the study found that this ideal also included characteristics of love, protection and all needs being met. Care leavers drew from their personal experiences, observations in the community and their lived experiences in institutional care as frames of reference for their constructions of the ‘ideal’ family. The study has implications for social service practitioners and future family studies.

ABSTRACT Prior research suggests that raising young children is a stressful stage of childcare, but it remains unclear how the age composition of young children is related to parental well-being. This study examines variations in parental well-being between men and women in Japan, with a special focus on the age composition of young children. Using the 2018 National Family Research of Japan data, we estimated ordinary least-squares regression models to investigate differences in well-being among (1) parents only with infants, (2) parents with infants and preschool children, and (3) parents with one child going to school. The roles of support from spouse, own parents, and parents-in-law were also tested. We found that women report significantly lower levels of well-being when they raise preschool-age children compared to those with school-age children. The effects of raising young children remain strong, even after controlling for familial support. Men’s well-being does not vary by the age composition of children. Our results show that the preschool age is the most challenging stage of childcare for Japanese women, but their well-being improves as the child gets older. This finding suggests the importance of providing institutional support to women with young children, such as flexibility concerning parental leave.

ABSTRACT Parenting is arguably the most critical factor in protecting teenagers from problem behaviours, such as delinquency and substance use. For immigrant mothers, however, the ability to care for their children might be negatively affected by challenges related to acculturation and area deprivation. The aim of this study was to raise this issue by examining parenting challenges and needs among immigrant mothers of teenagers living in disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Sweden. Such knowledge is crucial for society to be able to adequately support families in promoting their teenagers well-being. Based on an intersectional framework and qualitative interviews with 14 mothers, four themes related to challenges and needs emerged: structural challenges, cultural transition, psychosocial problems, and social support. The themes were highly intertwined and demonstrated substantial distress among immigrant mothers in relation to their parenting and protecting their children. Mothers’ were, therefore, highly engaged in parenting and expressed a desire and motivation to improve their parenting through social support. The introduction of culturally sensitive parenting support specifically aimed at this marginalized group of parents is encouraged.

ABSTRACT Mothers’ perceptions of mothering could potentially influence several aspects of their home and work commitments. This study explores how mothers perceive their mothering experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic via 18 in-depth interviews. The authors use constraint theory and negotiation frameworks to discuss how family communication processes and perceptions of mothering are related within the context of the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Findings demonstrated how working from home increased perceptions of family tensions, especially with the lack of home/work separation. Throughout the narratives, participants describe specific constraints at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural levels, as well as how they were negotiated. This study extends past research centering mothers within the context of family communication, specifically through the rich experiences described by participants on work and home balance and provides directions for future research while discussing practical implications for family and gender issues researchers.

ABSTRACT A family systems perspective highlights the multiple interdependent relationships that may influence fathers’ parenting and, in turn, child outcomes. Notably, coparenting, or how parents collaborate in raising the child, has been linked to father involvement. More recently, parental gatekeeping, or one parent’s efforts to manage the other parent’s interactions with the child, has been introduced as part of the coparenting relationship. Researchers have reported associations between maternal gatekeeping, including mothers’ encouragement (i.e. gate opening) and discouragement (i.e. gate closing), and fathers’ parenting. However, multidimensional models of coparenting do not explicitly identify a parental gatekeeping component. Additionally, parental gatekeeping and coparenting lines of research have been pursued relatively independently. This raises questions about how parental gatekeeping and other dimensions of the coparenting relationship may be similarly and differentially linked to fathers’ parenting. To clarify the nature of coparenting and parental gatekeeping, this article provides an overview of foundational research. Similarities and differences in the consequences of coparenting (i.e. support and undermining) and parental gatekeeping (i.e. gate opening and gate closing) for fathers’ parenting are examined. Finally, I explore how a parental gatekeeping process may operate as a feedback loop within a given family system. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

ABSTRACT Using data from the Generations and Gender Survey, this study explores the association between men’s fields of education and the gender division of unpaid work among co-residential heterosexual couples in Norway, Austria and Poland. Fathers’ relative contribution to childcare is higher than it is to domestic work in all three countries, suggesting that men have increasingly become more involved fathers than egalitarian partners. Moreover, the scant contribution to housework is lower for men when they are fathers in Austria and in Poland, not in Norway. Also the impact of the field of education is context-embedded. Although the results are not clear-cut and diverge among countries, men choosing ‘softer’, more nurture-oriented and more female-dominated fields tend to exhibit a more symmetrical division of housework and childcare. These associations persist after controlling for his and her labour-market position, suggesting that field of education captures something more than time availability, cost opportunity and monetary returns. Yet Polish men are those most differentiated by level and field of education. In Poland, gender segregation in education is high, and support for the dual earner-dual carer model is still very low both institutionally and culturally, so that men studying in typically female fields are highly selected.

ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to determine, from a gender and class perspective, how mothers who work in mining operations experience the tensions associated with motherhood in comparison with father workers, within the context of the work-family relationship in an industry with shift systems. A qualitative methodology was used to interpret perceived difficulties and strategies for dealing with maternity/paternity and work conflicts. Results show that mother workers perceive that the maternal role is socially ignored; that they have great difficulties in exercising their maternity, that their main subjective problems are frustration, anxiety, and guilt; that conflicts are less acute for female supervisors, associated with their class status, the support of paid domestic workers, and the dedication of time to individual hobbies; and that strategies for dealing with conflicts are palliative. We conclude that a perception of ‘privatization of the work-motherhood balance’ predominates, with mother workers taking responsibility for their self-integration, which they deem to be a personal rather than a social problem. All interviewees adopt a position of ‘gender neutrality’. Paradoxically, women do not prioritize demanding differential measures for working mothers, although they perceive that their motherhood is socially judged by the sexist culture of their work environment.
{"title":"Work-parenthood conflicts at the operator and professional levels in Chile’s mining industry: a gender analysis","authors":"Pamela Caro, Daniel Madrid, María Elvira Cárdenas","doi":"10.1080/13229400.2022.2053336","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13229400.2022.2053336","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to determine, from a gender and class perspective, how mothers who work in mining operations experience the tensions associated with motherhood in comparison with father workers, within the context of the work-family relationship in an industry with shift systems. A qualitative methodology was used to interpret perceived difficulties and strategies for dealing with maternity/paternity and work conflicts. Results show that mother workers perceive that the maternal role is socially ignored; that they have great difficulties in exercising their maternity, that their main subjective problems are frustration, anxiety, and guilt; that conflicts are less acute for female supervisors, associated with their class status, the support of paid domestic workers, and the dedication of time to individual hobbies; and that strategies for dealing with conflicts are palliative. We conclude that a perception of ‘privatization of the work-motherhood balance’ predominates, with mother workers taking responsibility for their self-integration, which they deem to be a personal rather than a social problem. All interviewees adopt a position of ‘gender neutrality’.
