Abstract:

Beginning in the mid-1990s, the federal government, supported by both Republican and Democratic administrations, has allocated roughly $1.5 billion to promote “healthy marriage initiatives.” A major target of these initiatives have been unmarried parents, or what researchers call fragile families. Over the past two decades, studies have examined this issue within the general population. This study applied three areas of the marriage initiative used by McLanahan (2006) to American Indian people: potential participation in marriage promotion programs, potential impact of marriage programs, and likelihood of marriage. Data for 3,152 women were examined from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, including 154 who self-identified as American Indian. This study showed that American Indians exhibited a high willingness to participate in marriage promotion programs. American Indians were less likely than other racial/ethnic groups to see marriage as better for children. This study underscores the need to understand American Indian families and their unique approaches to developing healthy marriage and family structures. For marriage promotion programs to work, they should reflect the cultural practices of the individual American Indian communities.

Abstract:

Public Law 99–457 provides the opportunity to reshape and redirect early intervention services to infants and toddlers and their families. Effective partnerships developed under the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) between families and early intervention professionals require trust, sharing and cooperation. Because a majority of American Indians receive services in rural settings, it is essential that rural early intervention professionals understand the cultural characteristics of American Indian families. Only through such understanding can the effective partnerships that are necessary to assure positive outcomes for American Indian early intervention constituents be developed. This understanding will also serve to eliminate long standing assumptions that American Indian children are deficient in their preparation for school and that their families have given them a bad start in life. Instead, it will foster a more positive view of these children and their families. While recognizing that there may be gaps in the experience of American Indian children and families, respect for their cultural background will allow professionals to build on the experience base of children and families.

Abstract:

Most long term care of older urban American Indians is provided in the community by family, extended family, or fictive kin, and American Indians are rarely found in long term care facilities. An approach to American Indian elderly requires some understanding of Indian ways in order to be effective therapeutically and acceptable to the older Indian. Multiple interviews, a focus group, and a survey conducted in an urban Indian community revealed the consistent perception by American Indian elderly and their families that health care providers lacked information, understanding, and respect for Indian culture.

Abstract:

One of the major destructive forces to American Indian peoples were the assimilation-based policies that destroyed traditional kinship systems and family units. This destruction contributed to the cycle of dysfunction that continues to plague families and homes in Indian country. A second major destructive blow occurred when colonial forces, through law and policy, reinforced white male patriarchal kinship and family systems. In this colonial system, American Indian concepts, roles, and responsibilities associated with fatherhood and motherhood were devalued and Indian children grew up with a dysfunctional sense of family and kinship. This article examines the traditional kinship system of the Cheyenne Indians, highlighting the importance of kinship terms, roles, and responsibilities. The traditional Cheyenne kinship system emphasized familial relationships for the sake of childrearing and imparting traditional values of respect, reciprocity, and balance. Traditional principles of heške’estovestôtse (motherhood), héhe’estovestôtse (fatherhood), and méhósánestôtse (love) were the backbone of the Cheyenne family.

Full text

Abstract:

Diaspora invokes a way of living. Geographic displacement, either voluntary or forced, brings about heightened processes of negotiation between the past, the present and the future. Effectively, diaspora creates a space for dialogue about notions of individual subjectivity and group representation, as well as global and local belonging. These processes contribute pivotally to the identity development of diasporic people, and this plays out continually as is evident in the choices diasporic people make about the way they live. This thesis explores one aspect of the lives of elite diasporic Indian families in Singapore - cricket. The central question is how these diasporic people become 'Indian' through their participation in the sport. There are two major components - cricket and family. Firstly, I identify cricket as a site of diasporic negotiation in the lives of these Indians. I explore their practice of this activity as a physical and ideological space in and through which they negotiate their identity. In a country where cricket is not common practice, the Indian domination of the widespread 'public culture' of their country of origin reflects their intensified investment in Indianness. This results in the creation of a minoritized and largely exclusive social space. By participating in cricket, they play out their diasporic Indian identity. This is a myriad process of social construction and transformation of Indianness at individual and collective levels. Through active and concerted social labour in the cricket arena, translation of relevant Indianness into a foreign setting effectively creates a new Indian ethnicity. It is the very negotiation and mobilization of their ethnicity that facilitates the thriving of this elite Indian diaspora. The other major component in this thesis is that of the family in diaspora. This is important because most of the elite Indians moved to Singapore as nuclear family units. Decisions made and the structures of their lives take into account the impact upon the household at individual and collective levels. I explore and highlight the importance not only of families doing diaspora together, but that of the varied individual contributions of family members to cricket and how their various parts support one another's negotiation of their Indianness. Divided broadly into three categories of fathers, mothers and children (male and female), I look at their different ideals, attitudes and involvement in the sport. From my research, I found that fathers were the ideological spearhead and instigators of interest for cricket within families; mothers played support roles; and children participated for a variety of reasons. Boys played because it was deemed the natural thing for Indian boys as it is 'in their blood'. Girls on the other hand, played for a variety of different reasons which differed from their male counterparts. Their participation was a concerted effort in an attempt to get forms of Indianness that are reflected and constructed in cricket, 'into their blood'. This thesis is framed by the concept of doing Indian diaspora in Singapore. I explore the cricket arena as a key site of identity negotiation in three realms - the individual, the family, and the wider Indian network/community. This analysis seeks to highlight the importance of each realm in reinforcing and supporting one another's projects of constant and complex formation processes of Indianness.

Abstract:

Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for a degree of Masters of Arts in the Department of Counselling Psychology at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2005.
The present study aimed to identify those resiliency factors that enabled Indian families to transform and adapt after the loss of a family member. Using a convenience sampling method, thirty families were identified. Open-ended questions and the following measurement scales were completed by the parent and an adolescent of each selected family: a biographical questionnaire, Social Support Index, Relative and Friend Support Index, Family Problem Solving Communication Index, Family Hardiness Index, The family Attachment and Changeability Index 8, and Family Time and Routine Index. Results show that open communication between family members, religion, support of relatives and friends, problem solving communication, family hardiness, mobilization of the family to get help, redefinition of the problem, family time and routine were the resiliency factors identified in this study.

Abstract:

This study examines the cross-cultural impact on parenting orientations of Indian families raising their children in Finland. In order to study the impact of Finnish culture on Indian parenting, parenting orientations of Finnish and Indian families living in Finland were studied. The parenting practices and associated cultural values and beliefs were studied intergenerationally and cross-culturally. Hall’s (1989) Cultural Iceberg Model is used to look at the visible and invisible aspects of a culture and its relation with parenting practices. Parenting philosophies with respect to the support and encouragement in learning process, parental control, academic aspirations, gender perspective and cultural beliefs were the specified areas that were explored. Semi-structured interviews were conducted on 4 Finnish and 5 Indian parents, who have at least one child of age 7 and onward. Phenomenology was used as a qualitative research method. The research findings show that Indian parents, who were raised in a traditional-patriarch social hierarchy in India, are raising their children in Finland by providing them partial autonomy, encouragement and support, taking active interest in their lives, promoting them to be independent and preparing them for the future. Indian parents have accepted the cultural differences of Finnish culture in their lives but the root values of Indian-ness are not comprised upon. This can be observed when their parenting practices include moral values, extra protectiveness and restricting their children on the interrelationships with the opposite sex. The acceptance of cultural differences by Indian parents are reflected in their changed methods of discipline, less hierarchical and open communication, introducing a range of hobbies to their children and making an active effort to connect to their children. No gender biases have been noticed in the parenting practices of Indian and Finnish parents. The amount of academic pressure by parents is less as compared to India but the expectations from children to succeed and opt for a noble profession is eminent. The term ‘third culture kids’ have been used for the children of the Indian parents, who are being raised in Finnish society. The study showed cross-cultural effect on these third culture kids, who have different worldviews, than their parents and identify themselves as a global citizen rather than embracing either Indian or Finnish identity. Parenting orientations of Finnish families depicted two-way communication, supporting children to pursue individual interests and enough liberty on children’s pathways. Their parenting and social values of individual identity has a strong impact on Indian children as well who are raised here. The strong foundation of Finnish society is based on some of the moral values like ‘Sisu’ meaning Perseverance and Dedication, Trust, Honesty and Punctuality. The author trusts that this study and the research findings would be beneficial for further research in the related areas.

Abstract:

This qualitative dissertation uses an Indian dance studio based in the suburbs of a mid-sized Florida city as an entry point to examine how racism impacts the local upwardly mobile Asian Indian community. Utilizing two and a half years of ethnographic data collected at the studio as a Bollywood instructor, 24 in-depth interviews with Indian immigrant parents and their children, 12 self-portraits drawn by children during their interviews, and home visits with 13 families, this project examines the strategies of accommodation and resistance that Indian families use to construct a sense of home and belonging. Applying socialization, visual research methods, critical race, and feminist scholarship to the exploration of how the local Indian immigrant community builds a sense of home and belonging within a nation whose success is a product of racial domination, this project makes four innovative and distinctive contributions to sociological research on socialization, U.S. immigration, and contemporary race relations. In the first data chapter, I coin and develop the term cultural cultivation to describe strategic ethno-cultural socialization efforts immigrant parents use to preserve a culture ‘left behind’ (Ram 2005). Cultural cultivation adds a nuanced dimension to ethno-cultural socialization studies by demonstrating that these efforts are laborious, often regarded as women’s work, and effectively operate as an ‘added step’ to Hochschild and Machung’s (2003) work on the “second shift.” The second data chapter utilizes an innovative research technique of having children draw self-portraits. While cultural cultivation helps children develop a meaningful attachment to Indian culture, self-portraits and interview data uncovered experiences of being teased and feeling ‘left out.’ As a result, many children forged what Portes and Rumbaut (2001) call a “reactive ethnicity” as a way to cope with prejudice and discrimination and construct a sense of identity and belonging. The third data chapter examines the ways families minimized and internalized experiences of prejudice and discrimination. Rather than recognizing them as a part of structural racism, many immigrant parents regarded racial offenses as a deserved response to individual misbehaviors or inadequacies that were to be pointed out and corrected. This internalization prompted several of the interviewees to police their and their children’s actions when in the presence of non-Indians in an attempt to preemptively minimize prejudicial statements and discrimination. For the last data chapter, by revealing the enduring hardships related to socialization and assimilation, I argue that high levels of assimilation and acculturation were also commonly accompanied by what I call immigrant outsiderness, or the subjective dimensions of the migration experience which are marked by 1. Lack of cultural inclusion, 2. Lack of social inclusion, and 3. Feelings of emotional disconnect. Data demonstrate that in spite of meeting the objective benchmarks typically associated with successful structural integration, acculturation, and assimilation, the immigrant experiences of this “model minority” are bounded and characterized by cultural and social exclusion as well as an emotional disconnect. This dissertation concludes by urging both a critical exploration and integration of how Asian Indians and South Asians fit into the contemporary racial landscape beyond terms like “model minority” and “honorary white” so that we can have a more honest and complex understanding of the role racial domination plays in our everyday lives.

Abstract:

Intergenerational family conflict is an important experience to study in Hindu Asian Indian families, given the process of acculturation that occurs for immigrant families as well as how Hindu religious beliefs influence duties towards the family (dharma). The current study was designed to understand the various factors that influence intergenerational family conflict including acculturation and religious values in Hindu Asian Indian families. This study is a qualitative group (family) interview investigation conducted in order to identify sources of intergenerational family conflict, understand the retention of cultural values within a family given the process of acculturation, understand if and how Hinduism (religious values) plays a role in intergenerational family conflict and family cohesiveness given acculturation, and find strategies families use to overcome identified sources of intergenerational family conflict. A grounded theory approach was used to study the different families (cases). Separate results for parents and siblings are presented and overall findings are discussed. A theory about understanding conflict for the Hindu Asian Indian family is presented.

Abstract:

This study explores the question of religion and ethnicity as a source of family diversity and ideology. An ideal-typical "traditional Muslim family ideology" was developed and tested. Eight Indian Muslim students at Rhodes University were asked about their attitudes and perceptions of marriage and family life, to determine the particular type of family ideology that these students embraced. Family-related issues such as marriage; the division of labour; gender roles; the extended family system; divorce; and polygamy were addressed. On the basis of the research results, it was found that these students largely adopted the "traditional Muslim family ideology". Religion and ethnicity were found to play an important role, in the make-up of these students' perception of marriage and family life, and a strong preference for the extended family was shown.

Abstract:

Hakka emigration has created many smaller communities worldwide; where some groups continued their migratory journey. One such example is the Hakkas, who first migrated to Calcutta and then moved on to Vienna and Toronto, clustering in a close-knit social network. In various sessions, Viennese Hakkas of all age groups were interviewed for their lifestories and linguistic practices. (a) The linguistic competence of the migrants includes Hakka, English and Indian (Hindi, Ben¬gali) but often rather little German; Hakka is important at the workplace (Chinese restaurants) and is transmitted in families; Indian helps establish professional relationships with Indian migrants. (b) The social network is rather closed to Hakka friends from Calcutta or from other places. All Hakkas closely cooperate and usually have only few outside contacts. They consider Calcutta as their old homeland to which they return for Chinese New Year. (c) The younger generation consists of weak speakers of Hakka who are fully integrated into Austrian culture, but also maintain contacts to Toronto and love to visit friends and family in India. To conclude, the Indian Hakkas of Vienna are an interesting example of a two-step migration which first converted some Chinese into Indians, and then planted this Indian subgroup into Europe.

Abstract:

The latent feature relational model (LFRM) for graphs represents each node as having binary memberships in one or more communities. The community memberships can be represented in form of a binary vector and LFRM defines the link probability between any pair of nodes as a bilinear function of their community membership vectors. Moreover, using nonparametric Bayesian prior - Indian Buffet Process - on the community membership matrix enables learning the number of communities automatically from the data. However, despite its modeling flexibility, strong link predictive performance, and nice interpretability of binary embeddings, inference in LFRM remains a challenge and is typically done via MCMC or variational methods. These methods can be slow and may take a long time to converge. In this work, we apply the small variance asymptotics idea to the non-parametric Bayesian LFRM, utilizing the connection between exponential families and Bregman divergence. This leads to an overlapping k-means like objective function for the nonparametric Bayesian LFRM, which can be optimized using generic or specialized solvers. We also propose an iterative greedy algorithm to optimize the objective function and compare our approach with other inference methods on several benchmark datasets. Our results demonstrate that our inference algorithm is competitive to methods such as MCMC while being much faster.

Abstract:

This paper seeks to explain various emotions associated with different food and beverage advertisements in India from their social media and YouTube pages. A total of 18 different image advertisements have been taken, and are analyzed using visual metaphor theory, amongst others. The emotions identified through the metaphors are analyzed, where we ask, how the visual and verbal metaphors created in the English and Hindi advertisements are influenced by social, cultural, and contextual factors. Even with a limited data set, we observed the fact that two significant cultural traits of celebrating festivals and a strong familial bond are responsible for creating some metaphors when targeting Indian audiences in advertisements of multinational products.

Abstract:

Hakkas from Meizhou who migrated to Calcutta established suc¬cessful businesses, and then, in the 1970s to the 1990s, moved on to settle in Vienna (and Toronto). Prac¬ticing a closed-group life both in Vienna and across continents, the Hakkas preserved their lan¬gua¬ge and culture while adapting both to India and Austria in various ways. In a series of open interviews with Vienna-based Hakkas, questions of identity and the preservation of a minority culture are raised. In dependence to age, the consultants have very different personal identities behind a shared social identity of being ‘Indian Hak¬ka¬s,’ which is, however, mostly borne out of practical considerations of mutual support and certain cultural practices. As mi¬grants, they can profit from close friendship and loyalty between group members, sharing the same pro¬fes¬sions, marrying inside the group, and speaking their own language. Questions of identity are most¬ly relevant for the younger generation which has to deal with a confusingly layered familial iden¬tity.

Abstract:

Introdução: A longevidade ergue-se com uma nova perspectiva do envelhecimento, necessita-se desconstruir preconceitos que permeiam os idosos e podem excluí-los de seu círculo social, como a presbiacusia, caracterizada como uma perda progressiva neurossensorial e bilateral da audição associada ao envelhecimento; relacionada aos idosos por desencadear degeneração progressiva das estruturas cocleares e das vias auditivas centrais, iniciando em frequências elevadas e progredindo gradualmente para frequências médias e baixas. É crucial a transmissão de conhecimento para os idosos e familiares, pois auxiliam na percepção precoce da sua condição auditiva, logo, intervenção minorando danos psicossociais, proporcionando uma melhor qualidade de vida. Objetivos: Realizar triagem dos idosos pela percepção familiar relacionada a sua perda auditiva, no ambulatório de otorrinolaringologia, comparando se existe relação entre a percepção da família com os achados da audiometria. Além de orientar as famílias sobre a perda auditiva para saberem lidar com o idoso nessa condição e quando houver a presbiacusia, indicar o tratamento através de aparelho de amplificação sonora. Material e métodos: A pesquisa científica contemplou-se com artigos científicos da plataforma ScIELO, Google acadêmico e fontes secundárias. Para análise de dados, os familiares de idosos que frequentam o CRECE em Itaperuna-RJ, foram submetidos a avaliação inicial através do questionário confeccionado pelos autores – Percepção da família em relação a perda auditiva do idoso, totalizando dez perguntas aos familiares, optando por apenas uma alternativa, sim equivale a 1 ponto ou não a 0 pontos, totalizando um escore de dez pontos. Após resposta positiva do familiar, o idoso é encaminhado ao otorrinolaringologista, realizando-se anamnese, otoscopia, audiometria tonal e vocal e impedanciometria. Critérios de inclusão: idade 60 anos ou superior, pacientes do CRECE; exclusão: idade inferior a 60 anos, já acompanhados por otorrinolaringologista, que não tolerem realizar audiometria ou não aceitem assinar o TCLE. Resultados: Ainda em execução, os resultados preliminares, comparando-se o escore do questionário e a audiometria, nota-se que os familiares percebem a presbiacusia, embora o idoso não note, cuja perda auditiva é confirmada na audiometria. Conclusão: A presbiacusia gera inúmeras consequências negativas, sendo essencial, a conscientização dos idosos e familiares, detectando-se precocemente e restaurando a qualidade de vida do idoso.

Abstract:

In 1989 the Population Council began a research project on the consequences of high fertility at the family level and its implications for the next generation. Since its inception, the project has been supported by Swedish SIDA and has involved the collaboration of researchers from selected developing countries. In countries where there has been limited research on this topic, such as India, Mali, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Senegal, the Population Council provided funding for new studies or for analysis of existing data with the potential for producing insights on this topic. In instances where relevant research was already underway, the Council provided informal support through membership in the research network, which has held several meetings since the initiation of the project. The seminar held on June 9-10, 1992, was intended to convene these researchers to present and discuss the results of their research. The two-day meeting brought together 29 experts to discuss the 14 papers printed in these proceedings.

Full text

Abstract:

India's national family welfare program has two objectives—to address the needs of families, notably women and children, and to reduce population growth rates. In reality, the program has been disproportionately focused on achieving demographic targets by increasing contraceptive prevalence. In this process, women's needs have been overlooked, in terms of poor reproductive health (RH). There is a need to reorient program priorities to focus more holistically on RH needs and on woman-based services that respond to health needs in ways sensitive to the sociocultural constraints women and adolescent girls face in acquiring services and expressing health needs. This report presents a profile of substantive needs in the area of women's RH. It contains a brief overview of the demographic situation and the thrust of the program in India, points out gender disparities and constraints women face in acquiring quality health services, focuses on the RH situation and highlights the gaps between needs and available services, and sets out priorities for policy. It raises the need for greater attention to RH and services that are more focused on women, both adult and adolescent, in India, and discusses activities appropriate for further support.

Abstract:

As India prepares for the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), it is clear that the country’s population policy faces a number of serious challenges. Although India was the first country to announce an official family planning program in 1952, its population has grown from 361 million in 1951 to 844 million in 1991. This is one of three reports on the relationship between gender equity, family structure and dynamics, and the achievement of reproductive choice prepared by the Population Council for the 1994 International Year of the Family and the 1994 ICPD. These reports provide critical reviews of the relationship between gender inequality and demographic behavior in three demographically significant, culturally distinct parts of the developing world: Egypt, India, and Ghana and Kenya. The purpose of the reports is to help governments and international agencies design and implement policies that are affirmative of women, sensitive to the family’s central role in resource allocation and distribution, and effective in achieving broad-based population and development goals.

Full text

Abstract:

The main objectives of this research were to (1) understand signing issues from the perspective of drivers and (2) develop recommendations for improving interchange signing in Indiana to aid driver understanding and increase the safety and efficiency of highway traffic operations. An online survey with specific questions was designed and distributed through email, social media, online newspapers, and a survey company with the goal of better understanding driver thinking when approaching decision-making areas on the interstate. The analysis of the survey results revealed the following. •Drivers usually do not know the interchange types as they approach an interchange on the freeway. •Drivers are most interested in which lanes they should be in when approaching an interchange, even in advance of typical signing locations. •Drivers do not like signs that require cognitive work since it will delay their driving decision by creating uncertainty. •Different drivers need different types of information from signs, such as cardinal direction, destination name, road name, and lane assignments. Therefore, a perfect sign for one driver may be confusing or information overload for another driver. •In some instances, a driver who is familiar with the area is confused by the signs because the sign information contradicts the driver’s knowledge.

Abstract:

This case study unfolds the evolution of a small and local Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Service Initiative for Voluntary Action (SIVA), set up in 1994 in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, in Southern India—an area in which industrialsation and commercial development have been ignored for a long time. Diving deep into local issues at the grassroots level, the founder Subramania Siva, addressed the needs of distressed, marginalised families directly. SIVA Trust began small, and remained in a hyper-local mode for close to 30 years, but made a disproportionately large impact due to the founder’s personal commitment that helped root a “culture of volunteerism” throughout SIVA and its work.
