Full textAbstract:
My diploma thesis is based on data from Survey on income and living conditions 2011 from ad hoc module on intergenerational disadvantages. The study investigates the transmission of social status from one generation to another. The diploma thesis includes descriptive statistics and data analysis. The main goal is to determine the dependency of socio-economic variables on social status transmission. To examine the strength of transmission of social status (education and occupation) logistic regression was used. In the analysis are respondents in the age 30 -- 60 years old, who lived at least with one of their parents. Due to a large number of respondents dataset enables detailed separation to groups by age groups, education level etc. followed by differences comparison between defined groups. Using the wage mechanism data are representative for population structure of Czech Republic.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research was to study several dimensions of family strengths in family systems and to determine to what degree these strengths are passed from one generation to the next .
The sample consisted of 23 couples, constituting the married child generation, and each husband's father and each wife's mother, constituting the parent generation, for a total of 23 family systems and a total~ of 92 . Each person involved in the study had to be in their first marriage and have at least one child.
A significant (alpha . 05) difference was found between the father and son generations on the relative and friend support and the professional support . The alpha levels for differences between mothers and daughters on these two dimensions were .146 (relative and friend support) and . 190 (professional support) . A factorial analysis of variance suggests these differences are between generations rather than between genders of family groups.
Significant correlations were found between the fathers' family togetherness score and the sons' family flexibility score and between the fathers' quality of life and the sons' family confidence and family coping and coherence scores, at (r=.4876, p=.018), and (r=.4582, p=.028), respectively, and between the fathers' family discord and the sons' family discord scores at (r=.4381, p=037). Corresponding correlation values for the mothers and daughters were (r=.0367, p=.868); (r=-.2049, p=.348); (r=-.0234, p=916); and (r=.0011, p
=.996). A significant correlation was found between mothers and daughters on the mothers' relative and friend support score and the daughters' family confidence score at (r=.4215, p=.045), while the corresponding coefficient for fathers and sons was (r=-.3911, p=.065).
Significant correlations were found more often than were significant differences . The results also indicate that the males are more volatile than the females in terms of significant findings on the family strength measures.

Full textAbstract:
Estos ensayos realizan una contribución teórica y empírica para la mejor comprensión del
papel del estatus social en la movilidad intergeneracional de ingresos. Teorías sociológicas
enfatizan el papel del estatus social en la persistencia de la desigualdad entre familias,
aspecto que ha recibido menor atención en la disciplina económica.
Para avanzar en esta dirección, el primer capítulo propone un modelo teórico que analiza
cómo el grupo de referencia y la desigualdad ex-ante afectan la movilidad intergeneracional.
En base a los supuestos alternativos sugeridos en los hallazgos empíricos recientes, se modela
cómo el ingreso del grupo de referencia afecta las decisiones de esfuerzo. Los resultados
muestran que el grupo de referencia afecta la desigualdad de resultados económicos entre
individuos idénticos con diferentes orígenes sociales. La magnitud y dirección de este efecto
dependen de cuatro factores: (a) la composición del grupo de referencia; (b) la forma funcional
de la preocupación relativa; (c) la desigualdad ex-ante y las recompensas relativas;
(d) las expectativas de esfuerzo y las trayectorias de movilidad. Además, se demuestra que
el grupo de referencia conduce a que las decisiones individuales resulten en un subóptimo
social.
El primer capítulo considera sólo una perspectiva del estatus y se concentra en el papel
comparativo del grupo de referencia. Literatura previa sugiere que la preocupación relativa
puede involucrar distintas perspectivas. El segundo capítulo considera este aspecto incorporando
una dimensión adicional del estatus: las recompensas sociales basadas en cómo otros
valoran las acciones visibles. Esta extensión permite analizar cómo juegan ambos motivos
estatus de forma aislada y sus interacciones. Se confirma la importancia del estatus social
para explicar las decisiones de esfuerzo y se describe qué circunstancias incrementan la persistencia
de la desigualdad. Se identifican tres mecanismos, (i) la movilidad podría ser baja
porque las personas pobres no son suficientemente motivadas por la composición de su grupo
de referencia. (ii) Podrían ser desalentadas por la sociedad al recibir bajas recompensas
sociales. (iii) Podrían ser desalentados por las bajas expectativas de esfuerzo de sus pares
y sus intentos fallidos de movilidad ascendente. Sin embargo, bajo ciertas circunstancias el
motivo estatus puede reducir la desigualdad económica. Este es el caso, cuando los grupos
de referencia de las personas de origen social bajo incluyen personas con otros orígenes o
cuando las recompensas sociales de la movilidad son altas.
Estos resultados sugieren que el supuesto de concavidad o convexidad de la utilidad con
respecto al ingreso relativo es un aspecto clave para explicar las respuestas a cambios en el
ingreso de referencia. La literatura empírica previa, en general confirma la asimetría de la
preocupación relativa pero es ambigua con respecto a su convexidad o concavidad.
El tercer capítulo contribuye nueva evidencia sobre cómo el ingreso relativo con respecto
al grupo de referencia incide en los niveles de satisfacción con la situación económica,
evaluando empíricamente los supuestos de la teoría de la prospección. Además, se analiza
cómo algunos aspectos de la personalidad afectan la preocupación relativa. A diferencia de
los trabajos previos, se confirma la convexidad para las personas que enfrentan privación
relativa, lo cual se corresponde con la sensibilidad decreciente a mayor distancia del ingreso
de referencia. Es decir, preocupación relativa es más importante cerca del umbral y la sensibilidad
es mayor en la región de privación relativa. Los resultados son consistentes con los
supuestos de la teoría de la prospección. Finalmente, se confirma que algunas características
de la personalidad afectan la utilidad marginal de las comparaciones de ingreso con respecto
al grupo de referencia.The aim of these essays is to contribute both theoretically and empirically to a better understanding of the role of social status in intergenerational income mobility. Sociological theories have emphasized the role of social status in the generation of persistent ex-ante inequality between families, but it has received limited attention in economics. In order to advance in this direction, the first chapter proposes a theoretical model to analyze the role of reference groups and inequality in intergenerational mobility. Based on recent empirical findings, and the alternative assumptions of standard theory and prospect theory, we model the effect of reference group income on effort decisions. Findings suggest that reference group affects the inequality of economic success between identical individuals with different social origins. The size and direction of this effect depend on 4 key issues: (a) the composition of the reference group; (b) the functional form of relative concern; (c) ex-ante inequality and relative effort rewards; (d) expected effort beliefs and past mobility trajectories. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the reference group effect leads to individ- uals making sub-optimal social welfare decisions. This first chapter considers only one perspective of status and focuses on the comparative role of the reference groups. However, previous literature suggests that relative concern can be addressed from different perspectives. The second chapter presents an extension of the model, which incorporates an additional perspective of social status: social rewards based on how others value the observable actions of individuals. This approach allows us to assess both the role of each status motive separately (reference group and social rewards) and their interaction. The model confirms the importance of social status to explain effort decisions and allows us to discuss under what circumstances both status motives could be an additional mechanism for the persistence of inequality between generations. We identify three different mechanisms of inequality persistence. Mobility could be low because the poor people are not suficiently motivated to move up, due to the reference group composition. They are being discouraged by society as a whole because of low status rewards. Finally, they are discouraged by expected peer effort, because their peer group failed past attempts to move up. However, under certain circumstances, status motives could reduce economic inequalities. This is the case when reference groups of agents with a low social origin include agents from a high social origin or when the social rewards of economic success are high. The first two chapters show that the response in the effort decisions to changes in ex- pected reference income depends on the concavity or convexity of the relative concern curve. While generally confirming the asymmetry of relative concern, previous empirical research on the levels of satisfaction considering the peers income as a reference point, is ambiguous with respect to its concavity or convexity. The third chapter contributes to the empirical economic literature with new evidence on how relative income with respect to the reference group can affect economic satisfaction, testing the assumptions of prospect theory. Furthermore, we analyze how some aspects of personality affect relative concern and economic satisfaction. Unlike previous findings, convexity is confirmed between people facing relative deprivation, which corresponds to diminishing marginal sensitivity as they move away from the reference income. Therefore, relative concern is more important among those who are close to the reference income level, and its sensitivity is greater for those in the area of relative deprivation. These results are consistent with the assumptions of prospect theory. Furthermore, we confirm that some personality characteristics affect the marginal satisfaction of income comparisons.

"Multidimensional Intergenerational Inequality: Resource and Gender Specificity : Intergenerational transmission of inequality in education, social class, and income attainment using a sibling correlations approach." Thesis, Stockholms universitet, Sociologiska institutionen, 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-157885.
Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic resources in multiple dimensions and decomposes the influence of parents’ education, social class, and income in relation to the same outcomes for children as well as the unique impact of mothers and fathers on sons and daughters. In order to minimize measurement error in parental characteristics and life course bias for children, high quality Swedish administrative register data (spanning over 40 years) is utilized. A sibling correlation approach is employed to establish the net influence of each parental resource, both in general and by parents’ and children’s gender. The results show that intergenerational inequality is subject to resource specificity. First, same resource transmission implies that the same parental resource as the child outcome matter most in transmission of advantage. In this sense, educational elites foster educational elites, while economic advantage favor children’s own economic status. Second, the intermediate and overlapping socioeconomic field resource, parental social class, explains most of children´s outcomes in education and income suggesting that there is a same field transmission. Parental resources explain little variation in its field opposite (i.e. parental education on child income and parental income on child education). Finally, whether or not intergenerational inequality is subject to gender specificity is ambiguous, it ranges from negligible to substantial contributions. Mothers’ and fathers’ resources do matter independently over all outcomes, where especially fathers’ income dominate and drives the total influence of parental income. However, the result for the same gender transmission is mixed. The conclusion is that gender and, especially, resource specificity cannot be neglected without biasing results, confusing time trends, and underestimating the true rate of intergenerational inequality. Intergenerational processes of inequality will be misrepresented in a unidimensional conceptualization of socioeconomic transmission, which will also affect both theoretical understanding and the prospects of policy intervention.

Full textAbstract:
With the outbreak of civil war in Somalia in the late eighties and early nineties, many Somali fled the country, often with young children in tow. This study used a qualitative method of individual interviews to explored the current ideology and socio-structural living situation of 8 Somali male youth 18 -23. This research focuses on exploring the social-psychological interactions between Somali refugees with forced migration experiences and their American born sons. This exploration was in service of determining trauma symptomology in the offspring of refugees with forced migration experiences. Participants completed measures of trauma-transmitted symptomology measuring, intrusion, avoidance and hyperarousal, as well as measures recording Primary Care Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, (PC-PTSD). The PC-PTSD scale is currently in use by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Participants were interviewed in English, and queried about subjects such as; initial knowledge of parents’ refugee status, knowledge of parent’s past trauma, current relationship with parents, and their views on how Somali’s refugee history might affect male Somali youth today. Data gathered from this study was analyzed using five multilayered stages according to Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The results of this study uncovered concurrent themes among the participants to include: Communication, Transformative Identities, Faith, Acculturation/Integration, and Familial Ties. The results of this study revealed that a consistent optimistic family and community narrative was able to positively influence the current and future narratives and ideology of the youth studied. These findings coincide with Bowen’s theory of self-differentiation, and positive coping methodology (Gialadi & Bell, 2012).

Full textAbstract:
The dissertation addresses men and change, intergenerational transmission, historical change and agency, employing as a case a longitudinal follow-up study over two generations of men, where the fathers participated in an experimental research project, the Work-Sharing Couples Project, which aimed to promote egalitarian work–family adaptations in Norway in the early 1970s. The original project was based on both spouses working part-time and shift parenting. The summary presents a multidimensional analysis of the work–family adaptations of the two generations of men: the untraditional adaptation of fathers in the 1970s; and the neo-traditional adaptations of sons in the 2000s. Their different work–family adaptations are discussed as situated agency, taking into account different aspects of time and space, personal biography, discursive and material structures of opportunity, and intergenerational dynamics at the family level as well as at social level. The five articles present the empirical material: Bjørnholt (2009a) presents the impact on the couple relation and the family of the the parents’ work–sharing arrangement, concluding that the work-sharing arrangement was perceived by the participants to have been beneficial for their couple relationship as well as for the family as a whole. Bjørnholt (2011) explores the motivations of the work-sharing men to act as agents of change towards gender equality, concluding that personal biography, an authoritative way of being and new masculinity ideals, notably a partner- oriented masculinity, were important. Bjørnholt (2010b) analyses the consequences of the work-sharing arrangement on the work-sharing men’s careers, concluding that there were few negative career effects. They were rather successful, and their house-father experiences tended to be valued by employers as management skills. Bjørnholt (2009b) concludes that a father–son design is insufficient in explaining intergenerational transmission and Bjørnholt (2010c) finds that the untraditional work–family arrangement had not been passed on to sons.

Masani, Binta. "Narrative in the Intergenerational Transmission of Learning Among Jamaican Female Basket Weavers." ScholarWorks, 2011. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/874.
Full textAbstract:
Historically speaking, many of the social skills necessary to prepare young people for their transition into adulthood occurred through informal tacit learning systems. While an observed practice, scholarly analyses of the role of narrative as an educational tool in the social practices of multigenerations of cultural sharing females is nonexisitent in academic literature. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the role of narrative in the intergenerational transmission of life learning among Jamaican females from a basket weaving community. Narrative inquiry was the research method used to capture the lived experiences of Jamaican females from a basket weaving community. The conceptual framework for this study was narrative learning (storytelling) along with an adult development life cycle model and informal adult learning theories. The sample population included females age 18 to 69 years old from a Jamaican basket weaving community. Data collection involved informal and semi-structured face-to-face interviews. Reflexivity and peer review guided the data analysis process. An interpretative content analysis included open, axial, and descriptive coding. The results of this study confirmed that intergenerational relationships still exist and flourish among Jamaican females in a basket weaving community. Findings from this study can be used to improve female mentoring relationships, implement intergenerational partnerships between individuals and community-based organizations, and contribute toward social change for disenfranchised women and girls through the expansion of nontraditional adult and Other Education programs.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last decades, fathers are getting involved in their children’s lives. The “New Fathers” are not expected to act as breadwinners but also to engage in their family life and take a similar responsibility than their partners in the care of their children. However, we know surprisingly little about how the new role of fathers in childcare varied during the last decades and how it affects children’s life chances. This dissertation aims to analyse how fathers’ involvement evolved during the Great Recession and how this involvement shapes children’s cognitive and non-cognitive development. To respond to these questions, the Spanish Time Use Surveys and the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children are analysed. Overall, the results of this thesis show that fathers increased their involvement during the economic crisis and that involvement plays a relevant role in child development. Specially, when fathers engage in educational activities with their children and they display a warm but “consistent”parenting.En las últimas décadas los padres se están implicando cada vez máscen el cuidado de sus hijos. De los “Nuevos Padres” no solo se espera que actúen como ganadores del pan sino también que se involucren en la vida familiar y establezcan vínculos, estrechos y emocionales, con sus hijos. Sin embargo, se sabe muy poco sobre cómo este nuevo rol de los padres está cambiando en las últimas décadas y cómo éste afecta al desarrollo de sus hijos. Esta disertación tiene como objetivo el análisis de cómo la implicación paterna en el cuidado de los hijos evolucionó durante la Gran Recesión, y cómo dicha implicación impacta en el desarrollo cognitivo y no cognitivo de los hijos. Para contestar estas cuestiones se han analizado los datos procedentes de las Encuestas de Empleo del Tiempo y el Estudio Longitudinal de Niños Australianos. Los resultados de esta tesis muestran que, durante la crisis económica, los padres aumentaron su implicación en el cuidado, y que dicha implicación juega un papel relevante en el desarrollo de los hijos. Especialmente, cuando los padres pasan tiempo con sus hijos en actividades de tipo educativo y su implicación tiene un cariz “consistente”.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis consists of four self-contained essays in the sociology of educational stratification. Study I draws on newly collected survey data to assess the biases that arise in estimating socioeconomic differences in achievement when relying on parent and student reported data on social background. The main finding is that student reports on parental occupation overcome both the problem of misreporting that plagues other data collected from children, and the equally damaging problem of selective nonresponse among parents. Conditional estimates of ethnic disparities are relatively unaffected by these issues. Study II deals with student survey reports on the number of books in the home. A prominent string of authors has favoured this variable as a social background proxy over parental occupation or education based on its strong associations with educational outcomes. The paper applies various methods to large-scale student assessment data to show that these associations rest not on higher reliability as commonly assumed, but rather on two types of endogeneity. Low achievers accumulate less books and are also prone to underestimate their number. Study III uses survey and register data to study immigrant parents' education and its associations with children's achievement in recent Swedish cohorts. Two aspects of parental education are distinguished: the absolute years of schooling and a relative place in the source country's educational distribution. Parents' absolute education turns out to predict children's test scores and grades, whereas relative education is a better predictor of their educational aspirations. The result is of some consequence for studies seeking to assess ethnic disparities net of observed parental characteristics. Study IV extends the positional approach of Study III to understand immigrants' self-perceived social status and income satisfaction in European countries. Those higher educated by origin country than host country standards make more dismal assessments of their current situation than do other immigrants in otherwise similar circumstances. This is attributed to a social contrast mechanism and argued to be of relevance in understanding longer-term patterns of social and economic integration, including educational decisions made by the second generation.Avhandlingen består av fyra fristående studier som alla berör utbildning och social stratifiering. Studie I undersöker med nyinsamlade enkätdata hur sociala skillnader i skolprestation riskerar att felskattas med bakgrundsuppgifter inhämtade från föräldrar respektive elever. Den viktigaste slutsatsen är att elevuppgifter om föräldrars yrke undviker mycket av den felrapportering som behäftar andra elevsvar, liksom det utbredda problemet med selektivt bortfall bland föräldrar. Villkorliga skattningar av etniska skillnader är relativt opåverkade av dessa metodproblem. Studie II granskar elevers uppgifter om antalet böcker i hemmet. En betydande litteratur har förespråkat denna variabel som ett mått på klasstillhörighet framför föräldrars yrke eller utbildning på grundval av starka samband med elevers studieresultat. Uppsatsen tillämpar en rad metoder på data från en internationell kunskapsutvärdering och finner att sambandens styrka inte vilar på högre tillförlitlighet som tidigare förmodats, utan på endogenitetsproblem av två slag. Lågpresterande elever ackumulerar färre böcker och är dessutom benägna att underskatta deras antal. Studie III använder enkät- och registerdata för att belysa utlandsfödda föräldrars utbildning och dess samband med prestationer bland svenska skolbarn. Två aspekter av utbildningsbakgrund särskiljs: föräldrars utbildningsår samt deras relativa placering i ursprungslandets fördelning. Absolut utbildning visar sig predicera elevers testresultat och betyg, medan relativ utbildning är en bättre prediktor för barns aspirationer. Resultatet är av betydelse för studier av etniska skillnader där statistisk kontroll görs för observerbara föräldraegenskaper. Studie IV tillämpar den positionella ansatsen från Studie III för att förstå utlandsföddas självupplevda status och inkomsttillfredsställelse i europeiska länder. Migranter som är mer högutbildade med ursprungslandets mått mätt än värdlandets tenderar att ha en mer negativ bild av sin nuvarande situation än andra i objektivt liknande omständigheter. Detta kan förstås i termer av sociala referensramar och framhålls som relevant i tolkningen av långsiktiga sociala och ekonomiska integrationsmönster, inklusive de utbildningsval som efterföljande generationer gör.

Full textAbstract:
Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de JaneiroA empatia, definida como a habilidade de compartilhar, compreender e de expressar o entendimento dos pensamentos e sentimentos dos outros, tem sido amplamente estudada. As trajetórias de desenvolvimento, que representam os diversos caminhos que o desenvolvimento do self pode tomar, também têm sido amplamente estudadas por pesquisadores transculturais, geralmente em contextos prototípicos e envolvendo três modelos de desenvolvimento do self: autonomia, interdependência e autonomia relacionada. Estudos anteriores mostraram que os participantes do Rio de Janeiro tendem para a autonomia relacionada, equlibrando características autônomas e relacionais, que são parte do nosso ambiente sociocultural, no qual habilidades sociais, como a empatia, são requeridas. O desenvolvimento da empatia pode ser relacionado à demanda ambiental por comportamentos, de acordo com aspectos sociodemográficos e valores compartilhados. Esta tese visa apresentar dados de 106 famílias do Rio de Janeiro: pai (idade média M = 51,6 anos), mãe (idade média M = 48,3 anos) e seus filhos jovens (17-25 anos, idade média M = 20,9 anos, 67,9% mulheres). A maioria dos pais, mães e dos filhos tinham Ensino Superior incompleto ou acima. Este estudo objetivou investigar a relação entre empatia e os modelos de desenvolvimento de self e a transmissão transgeracional em contexto não prototípico. O Inventário de Empatia de Falcone e colaboradores (IE) foi utilizado para avaliar a empatia. As Escalas de Desenvolvimento do Self de Kağitçibaşi (EDS), (Self Autônomo (AutS), Self Interdependente (IntS) de Self Autônomo-Relacionado (ARS)) foram utilizadas para avaliar o modelo de desenvolvimento do self. Filhos também responderam quantas horas semanais conviviam com pais e mães. Testes t pareados mostraram, como esperado, que os escores de ARS foram os mais altos para todos os participantes. Correlações de Pearson foram feitas entre os escores de IE e EDS de ambos os pais e filhos. Os escores de ARS de pais, mães e filhos correlacionaram-se positivamente, assim como seus escores de IE. Examinando entre instrumentos, para pais e filhos, altos escores em ARS foram correlacionados a altos escores de IE. O tempo de convívio relatado entre pais e filhos correlacionou-se com IntS e IE dos pais. Para testar o modelo teórico proposto de ARS de pais e mães e dos filhos e a empatia de ambos os pais como preditores da empatia dos filhos, análises de regressão foram utilizadas. A empatia dos pais e das mães previu, separadamente, a empatia dos filhos, mas não em conjunto. Nenhum dos escores ARS dos participantes previu o IE dos filhos. Estes resultados favorecem a hipótese da prevalência de selves autônomo-relacionados no Rio de Janeiro. Pais, mães e filhos mostraram similaridades e tiveram relações importantes entre seus escores de EDS, assim como para o IE. Apesar de o modelo com todos juntos não ter sido significativo, separadamente o IE de pais e de mães predisse o IE dos filhos. Este resultado sugere que a empatia parental pode ter algum efeito sobre a dos filhos jovens, mas não o modelo parental de desenvolvimento do self, inesperadamente. De modo interessante, os pais apresentaram um papel importante no desenvolvimento de seus filhos
Empathy, defined as the ability to share, comprehend and express understanding of others thoughts and feelings, is broadly studied. Developmental trajectories, that represent the diverse pathways that self development can take, have also been widely studied by cross-cultural researchers, generally in prototypical contexts and involving three models of self development: autonomy, interdependency and autonomy-relatedness. Previous studies have shown Rio de Janeiros participants tend towards related-autonomy, balancing autonomous and relational characteristics that are part of our sociocultural environment, in which social abilities, like empathy, are required. The development of empathy can be related to environmental demand to behave, according to socio-demographic aspects and shared values. This dissertation aims to present data from 106 families from Rio de Janeiro: father (mean age M = 51.6 yrs.), mother (mean age M = 48.3 yrs.) and their grown-up children (17-25 yrs., mean age M = 20.9 yrs., 67.9% were daughters). Most fathers, mothers and adolescents had incomplete college degree or higher. This study aimed at investigating the relation between empathy and the models of self development and the transgenerational transmission in a non prototypical context. Falcone and collaborators Inventory of Empathy (IE) was used to assess empathy. Kağitçibaşis Self Development Scales (SDS), (Autonomous Self (AutS), Interdependent Self (IntS) and Autonomous-Related Self (ARS) scales) were used to assess the model of self development. Adolescents also reported how many hours a week they lived with each one of their parents. Paired sample t tests showed, as expected, that scores on ARS were the highest scale for all participants. Pearson correlations were made between parents and adolescents IE and SDS scores. Fathers, mothers and adolescents ARS scores were all positively correlated, so as their IE scores. Examining between instruments, for both fathers and adolescents, higher ARS scores were correlated with their higher IE scores. The time adolescents reported living with fathers was correlated with fathers IntS and IE scores. In order to test the proposed theoretical model of parents and adolescents ARS and parents empathy as predictors of adolescents empathy, regression analyses were used. Fathers and mothers empathy predicted separately adolescents empathy, but not together. None of the participants ARS scores predicted adolescents IE. These results favor the hypothesis of prevalence of autonomous-related selves in Rio de Janeiro. Parents and adolescents showed similarities and had important relation between their SDS scores, so as for their IE. Despite not being significant in a model with them all together, separately, each fathers and mothers IE predicted adolescents IE. This result suggests parental empathy may have some effect on adolescents empathy, but not parental self development model, unexpectedly. Interestingly, fathers have shown an important role in their grown-up childrens development

Full textAbstract:
Intergenerational solidarity and reciprocity are fundamental building blocks of any society. At the same time, socio-generational groups constantly struggle for influence and authority. In Sub-Saharan Africa, disproportionately male, gerontocratic and patrimonial systems governing economic, social and political life lend a special explosiveness to the social cleavage of generation. This dissertation draws on the concept of the generational contract to explore whether Sierra Leone’s decade-long civil war (1991-2001) – labelled a ‘revolt of youth’ – catalysed changes in the power-asymmetries between age groups. Based on fieldwork conducted between 2007 and 2010, I argue that youth in post-war Sierra Leone question fundamental norms of intergenerational relations and challenge local governance structures demanding changes to the generational contract. Amidst a strong continuity of gerontocratic dominance and counter-strategies from elders, youth draw on organisational forms and a local rights discourse to create spaces for contestation and negotiation. These openings hold potential for long-term rearrangements of societal relations in the medium to long-term future.

Full textAbstract:
Eftersom fertiliteten i många utvecklade länder har gått ned är det intressant att studera orsakerna bakom detta. Om inte orsakerna bara ligger i de socioekonomiska förhållandena, vilka diskuteras mest, var kan de då sökas? Denna studie använder enkätdata med avsikt att belysa om attityder till att skaffa barn påverkas av vilka familjeförhållanden man själv växt upp under samt själv upplever under vuxet liv. Synsättet bygger på idén att det finns effekter som påverkar tänkandet genom socialisering, från en generation till en annan. Genom analys av data från undersökningen YAPS studeras om det finns några empiriska samband mellan stabilitet i familjens sammansättning under uppväxten, attityder till att leva i parförhållande och attityder till att skaffa barn. Uppsatsen använder sig av regressionsanalys för att undersöka eventuella statistiskt belagda samband. Då resultaten inte visar upp något samband med uppväxtvillkoren så undersöks även ekonomiska villkor då dessa ingått som bakgrundsdata i analysen. Resultatet pekar på samband mellan synen på barn och synen på parförhållanden samt den ekonomiska situationen i familjen under uppväxten. Den attityd till barn som man uppger verkar också vara en könsfråga då kvinnor har en mer positiv syn på barn än män enligt denna studie.

Cette thèse se penche sur plusieurs canaux de transmission intergénérationnelle des inégalités afin d'évaluer la capacité des politiques publiques à accroître la mobilité sociale. A partir d'un panel européen, les deux premiers chapitres mesurent et comparent différents indicateurs de la mobilité sociale intergénérationnelle par pays. La comparaison des résultats d'un pays à l'autre met en lumière la plus grande efficacité des politiques publiques, et en particulier des politiques d'éducation, menées dans les pays nordiques. Les deux derniers chapitres concernent la ségrégation résidentielle, dont la littérature économique a montré qu'elle accentuait la transmission des inégalités. Les déterminants de la ségrégation urbaine en Ile-de-France sont identifiés afin d'évaluer l'effet potentiel de certaines politiques de logement, en particulier de celles visant à promouvoir l'accès à la propriétéThis thesis focuses on several of channels of the intergenerational transmission of inequalities, so as to evaluate the efficiency of public policies in increasing social mobility. From a European panel, the first two chapters measure and compare different mobility indices by country. The cross-country comparison sheds the light on the higher efficiency of the public policies –in particular education policies – implemented in Nordic countries. The last two chapters concern residential segregation, which is shown to accentuate the transmission of inequalities in the economic literature. The determinants of the urban segregation in the Paris region (Ile-de-France) are disentangled in order to evaluate the potential effect of some housing policies, in particular those which aim at promoting homeownership

The study has several implications
for general theoretical traditions it highlights the point that ambivalent attitudes and incomplete language use are responsible for gradual language decline. Previous studies while acknowledging the role of community based, intuitive conditions on language maintenance and shift, did not show how the process occurred. For policy the study aims toward sensitizing policy makers and raise their awareness about the dire situation in which minority languages currently are in. This would ensure that politicians, bureaucrats, and other state authorities could implement policy decisions that guarantee protection of minority languages and enhance their vitality. One policy strategy that could ensure revitalization of minority languages would be to include them in the school curriculum as supplementary approach to the effort of the home and the community, as McCarty (2002, quoted in Recento, 2006) observes that schools

Full textAbstract:
When examining the process of the intergenerational transmission of trauma for the experiences of first, second, and third generation Holocaust survivors, there exists both overlapping similarities and unique differences. Understanding the trends that underlie this process is of crucial importance when researching the cultural changes in communication and openness across generations that have occurred over time. In particular, minimal prior research has been conducted regarding the unique perspectives of third generation survivors. It is important to highlight that the third generation offers a unique perspective as the youngest participants of studies on post-Holocaust trauma, given that minimal prior research has been conducted on this young demographic. This study aims to fill in sizable gaps in the literature, comprehensively analyzing similarities and differences through the narrative-telling of three living generations of Holocaust survivors. Based on an extensive review of literature, this study poses interview questions adequately suiting each of the three generations and their respective experiences. Based on the results of the power analysis, a minimum of 966 Holocaust survivors from all three generations need to be studied in order to achieve a powerful effect size. For the purpose of this study, data is analyzed using thematic analysis, a coding method that converts qualitative data into quantitative data and identifies patterns of meaning across a dataset (Padgett, 2008). The research findings yielded from this study further the inquiry in literature on Holocaust survivorship, as well as introducing research questions of the intergenerational transmission of trauma.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis consists of four empirical essays. The first essay evaluates the impact on crime of a large scale experimental scheme in which all state monopoly alcohol stores in selected Swedish counties kept open on Saturdays. We show that the experiment significantly raised both alcohol sales and crime. The effect is confined to Saturdays and tentative evidence indicates a displacement of crime from weekdays to Saturdays. The experiment had no significant impact on crime over the entire week. The second essay examines the effect of income inequality on health for newly arrived refugees. The results reveal no statistically significant effect of income inequality on the risk of being hospitalized. This finding holds for most population subgroups and when separating between different types of diagnoses. The conclusions do not change when we consider long-term exposure to inequality. Our estimates are precise enough to rule out large effects of income inequality on health. The third essay examines the effect of relative income differences on criminal behavior. There is a positive effect on the propensity to commit property crime. The effect is small and mainly driven by past offenders, low educated and young individuals. I only find weak evidence that relative income differences increases the likelihood to commit violent crime. The empirical analysis further reveals that differences in gross labor earnings are more strongly related to crime than disparities in disposable income. The fourth essay describes the patterns of intergenerational transmission of education among immigrant mothers and their daughters. The results show that the persistence is slightly lower among immigrants compared to natives, and that the relationship is weaker among those who start out disadvantaged. I find large variations across different immigrant groups, but these differences are partly explained by the fact that groups belong to different parts of the educational distribution.

A situação do abandono e as condições estruturais das organizações de abrigamento no Brasil são questões que têm suscitado atenção crescente, gerando intensos debates na contemporaneidade. O presente estudo focaliza o modelo de abrigamento organizado a partir de famílias sociais que acolhem crianças em situação de risco psicossocial, até que seja possível sua reintegração à família consanguínea ou adoção por família substituta. A proposta de abrigamento temporário não se cumpre na prática, uma vez que, para a maioria das crianças e adolescentes, essa medida se torna definitiva, até que completem sua maioridade legal, o que torna as famílias sociais substitutas suas únicas referências familiares, depois do rompimento dos vínculos afetivos com a família biológica. Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar os conteúdos da transmissão psíquica intersubjetiva presentes na díade mãe socialadolescente, no espaço familiar de abrigamento. Participaram do estudo mães sociais e seus filhos adolescentes, oriundos de uma organização não governamental, totalizando 24 participantes. Foi utilizada como proposta metodológica a análise do discurso realizada a partir das histórias de vidas relatadas pelos participantes da pesquisa. As entrevistas foram realizadas individualmente e foram audiogravadas. Para alcançar o objetivo, três eixos da teoria psicanalítica serviram como referência: a construção psicanalítica sobre a família, a compreensão do contexto institucional e a transmissão psíquica intersubjetiva. Os relatos possibilitaram a identificação das marcas emocionais do abandono, da construção da parentalidade, da compreensão dos conteúdos compartilhados pela instituição de abrigamento, das similaridades e diferenças entre mães sociais e adolescentes no que se refere aos mecanismos de defesa, interdições e vinculações estabelecidas. Os resultados indicaram que os vínculos construídos nas famílias sociais são marcados pela parcialidade, pelo pacto denegativo, pela violência e por interdições utilizadas para perpetuar a sua ordem interna e também a ordem institucional. Foi possível concluir que as relações familiares investigadas são marcadas por lacunas criadas, inicialmente, pela situação de abandono, perpetuação de padrões relacionais agressivos na família social constituída posteriormente e por mecanismos de defesa que, muitas vezes, dificultam ou impedem novas vinculações e o aprofundamento das relações sociais e consanguíneas.The situation of abandonment and the structural conditions of housing organizations in Brazil are issues that have attracted increasing attention, generating heated debates in contemporary times. The present study focuses on the housing model organized by social families, which house children at psychosocial risk until their reintegration into their consanguineous family or are adopted by a foster family. The proposal of temporary housing is not fulfilled in practice, as, for most children and adolescents, this measure becomes permanent until they complete their legal majority, which makes social families their only reference of family after breaking affective bonds with their biological family. The aim of this study was to investigate the contents of intersubjective psychic transmission present in the dyad social motheradolescent in the family environment of the housing organization. Subjects were social mothers and their teenage children from a non-governmental organization, totaling 24 participants. Discourse analysis was used as a methodological approach, and it was performed from the life stories reported by the participants. The interviews were conducted individually and were audio recorded. To reach the goal three axes of psychoanalytic theory were used as framework: the psychoanalytic construction of the family, understanding the institutional context and intersubjective psychic transmission. The reports permitted to identify the emotional scars of abandonment, the construction of parenting, understanding of the content shared in the housing institution, the similarities and differences between social mothers and adolescents with regard to the mechanisms of defense, interdiction and established attachments. The results indicated that attachments built in social families are marked by bias, by a denial pact, violence and interdictions used to perpetuate their internal order and also the institutional order. It was concluded that the investigated family relationships are marked by gaps initially created by the situation of abandonment, the perpetuation of patterns of aggressive relationships in the social family that is later comprised and defense mechanisms, which often hinder or prevent new attachments and the deepening of social and consanguineous relationships.

Full textAbstract:
This doctoral thesis provides a set of studies of social influences on fertility timing. Swedish register data are used to link individuals to their parents and siblings, thereby allowing the study of impacts of family of origin, social background, and parental death on fertility. The Swedish Medical Birth Register is used to investigate the effect of mode of delivery on higher order births. The thesis consists of an introductory chapter with an overview of the consequences and predictors of the timing of childbearing, and a theoretical framework to explain these relationships. This chapter also includes a section where the contribution to existing knowledge, the relation of the findings to life course theory, and suggestion for further research are discussed. This chapter is followed by four original empirical studies. The first study applies sister and brother correlations to investigate and estimate the impact of family of origin on fertility. It shows that family of origin matters for fertility timing and final family size. The study also shows that the overall importance of family of origin has not changed over the approximately twenty birth cohorts that were studied. The second study introduces three dimensions of social background - occupational class, status, and education - into fertility research. It suggests that social background, independent of individuals’ own characteristics, matters for the timing of first birth and the risk of childlessness. The study also shows that different dimensions of social background should not be used interchangeably. The third study uses the Swedish Medical Birth Register to investigate the effect of mode of delivery on the propensity and birth interval of subsequent childbearing. It demonstrates that mode of delivery has an impact on the progression to the second and third births but that a first delivery by vacuum extraction does not reduce the propensity of subsequent childbearing to the same extent as a first delivery by emergency or elective caesarean section. The fourth study explores the effects of parental death on adult children's fertility. The findings reveal that parental death during reproductive ages can affect children’s fertility. The effects are moderated by the gender of the child and when in the life course bereavement occurs. The combined output of these four studies provides evidence that human fertility behavior is embedded in social relationships with kin and friends throughout life. Family of origin, social background, an older sibling's birth, and bereavement following parental death influence the adult child's fertility. These findings add knowledge to previous research on intergenerational and social network influences in fertility.

Full textAbstract:
Socioeconomic positions of individuals are clearly associated with the chances of living a healthy long life. In four empirical studies based on Swedish population registers, two topics are examined in this thesis: The relationships between different indicators of social position and mortality, and the importance of family members’ socioeconomic resources for the survival of the individual. The overall conclusion from the separate studies is that no single individual socioeconomic factor gives a complete picture of mortality inequalities. Further, the socioeconomic resources of partners and adult children are important in addition to the individual ones. The specific results from each study include that: I education, social class, social status and income are, to various extent, independently associated with mortality risk. Education and social status are related to women’s mortality, and education, social class, and income to men’s mortality. II one partner’s social position is related to the other partner’s survival, also when individual socioeconomic factors are statistically controlled for. In particular, men’s mortality is linked to their wives’ education and women’s mortality to their husbands’ social class. III adult children’s education is related to their parents’ risk of dying, also when both parents’ socioeconomic resources are taken into consideration. Further, the association between the offspring’s level of education and parental mortality cannot be explained by characteristics that parents share with their siblings. IV children’s social class and income are related to parental mortality, but not as strongly as the education of the children. There is no relationship between a mother’s own education and breast cancer mortality, while mothers seem to have better chances of surviving breast cancer if they have well-educated children.At the time of doctoral defence the following paper was unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 4: Manuscript

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
In a society with a strong two-child family norm, but where children tend to reproduce the fertility behavior of their parents, it is relevant to study the childbearing patterns of only children. Do they follow the stream or do they follow their parents? There is very little previous research on this topic, but there is some evidence that show that only children are not more likely to prefer a one-child family themselves. Using GGS data from Sweden and Norway, this study aims to understand if being an only child is a determinant for having an ideal family size of one child, or having a completed family size of one child. The study is limited to those who want at least one child and to those who have at least one child (i.e. the study excludes childless). The analysis is conducted with binomial logistic and linear (OLS) regression methods. The study finds that only children more often do prefer a family size of one child and more often end up with a final family size of one child, compared to sib children. However, the association between being an only child and having a one child preference is also influenced by socio-economic status in the family of origin. If the parents’ education is high (post- secondary/tertiary), the likelihood of someone having a one-child preference decreases. The relationship between being an only child and having a final family size of one child is partly mediated by the experience of parental separation and/or own separation, where both factors increase the odds of stopping at one child. The conclusion and main contribution of this study is that there seems to be a family of origin socialization mechanism influencing the fertility of only children, making them more likely to both prefer and have a one-child family, compared to sib children. Thus, only children are more likely to deviate from the two-child norm, compared a person with siblings.

Nel presente lavoro si intende descrivere la partecipazione giovanile leggendola attraverso i costrutti - a livello individuale, familiare e sociale - che la letteratura ipotizza essere alla base di tale impegno, e che ritiene possano in qualche modo prevederlo. Obiettivo generale della ricerca è quello di approfondire il tema dell’azione sociale giovanile fornendo un’ipotesi di modello predittivo della stessa pensato per le sue due forme maggiormente diffuse: il volontariato e l’impegno politico.
La struttura della ricerca è articolata in tre fasi distinte e susseguenti: la prima studia gli antecedenti dell’azione sociale a partire dalle macro categorie identificate da Penner (2004) nel suo modello teorico di previsione dell’impegno volontario; da questa discende la seconda fase che ha come obiettivo quello di testare il modello teorico di Penner (2004) utilizzando le variabili che nella prima fase si sono rivelate discriminanti rispetto alla variabile outcome (azione volontaria); la terza fase, infine, intende testare un modello di previsione dell’impegno politico a partire dal modello frutto delle elaborazioni delle prime due fasi.The present research is focused on the emerging adults’ social action, considering individual, familial and social constructs. The present work intend to describe young participation in the social context through constructs that the literature consider as the bases of social action, and that, in the same time, can make previsions about it. The general aim is to test a predictive model of emerging adults social action especially for the two main forms of it: volunteerism and politic activism. The structure of the research project is articulated in three different phases: the first one studies the antecedents of social action starting from macrocategories identified by Penner; the second one tests the theoretical model of volunteerism (Penner, 2004); the third phase tests a prevision model of politic activism starting from volunteerism model (Penner, 2004).

Contemporary social science research has often focused on nuclear family relationships, and has largely neglected kinship and family outside the nuclear household. In this doctoral thesis I explore demographic issues from a multigenerational perspective, using Swedish register data and mathematical modeling. In different chapters I examine intergenerational transmission of fertility—the relationship between the number of siblings and other kin, and the fertility of an individual. The thesis demonstrates the possibilities for empirical research on family and kinship based on Swedish register data. Unique linkage opportunities across three and four generations are applied to previously unexplored research questions. The studies in the thesis demonstrate the importance of kin outside the household, such as grandparents, aunts/uncles, and cousins, for fertility and family dynamics.Samhällsvetenskaplig forskning har i hög grad varit fokuserad på kärnfamiljer, och i lägre grad undersökt släktskap utanför hushållet. Den här avhandlingen undersöker demografiska frågor utifrån ett flergenerationsperspektiv med hjälp av svenska registerdata och matematisk modellering. I de olika studierna undersöker jag den sociala överföringen av barnafödande mellan fler generationer—sambanden mellan antalet syskon och andra familjemedlemmar, och en persons barnafödande. Avhandlingen demonstrerar hur svenska registerdata möjliggör empirisk forskning om familj och släktskap. De unika kopplingsmöjligheterna över tre till fyra generationer appliceras på tidigare outforskade forskningsfrågor. Avhandlingen visar vikten av släktskap utanför kärnfamiljen, så som far/mor-föräldrar samt kusiner, för familjedemografiska processer.

Cette thèse porte sur les enjeux esthétiques qui guident le processus de réalisation d'une action performative. Elle recherchera à analyser et à comparer des moyens de résolution et de cohabitation des éléments du discours des arts visuels en relation avec ceux des arts dramatiques et de la musique. Cette préoccupation, au centre de notre recherche, doit nous amener à comprendre la visée de l'art comme élément indissociable des pratiques individuelles et collectives dans la société africaine. C'est pour stigmatiser cette réflexion que notre thèse s'intitule « De la comédie vidéo performance à la performatologie, essai d’une théorisation de la performance en terre africaine et ailleurs ». Déterminer le champ de la performance en Afrique et répondre à sa culture revient à chercher à comprendre cet art, cette science dans la société, qui relève d'une analyse du vécu et des habitudes quotidiennes de l'Africain. Répondre aux préoccupations d'un tel sujet revient à traiter en outre des sources de connaissances, de conservation et d'enrichissement du langage de l'art performatif contemporain africain. Cette visée nourrit pratiquement les repères d'une histoire socioculturelle qui livre les formes du savoir de la comédie vidéo performance à travers la force du déclic instinctif et poïétique. Tel que nous le concevons, l'analyse systémique des enjeux esthétiques performatifs dans la reconfiguration du corps est un support de la créativité. Alors comment cette analyse de la créativité par la performance dans la comédie vidéo performance pourrait-elle participer à l'enrichissement du langage artistique contemporain ?This thesis deals with the aesthetic issues that guide the process of performing a performative action. It will seek to analyze and compare means of resolution and cohabitation of the elements of visual arts discourse in relation to those of the dramatic arts and music. This concern, at the research center, must lead us to understand the aim of art as an indissociable element of individual and collective practices in African society. It is to stigmatize this reflection that our thesis is titled “Field and culture of performance in Africa: the comedy video performance”. To determine the field of performance in Africa and to respond to its culture is to seek to understand this art, this science in society, which is based on an analysis of the African's daily life and habits. Responding to the concerns of such a subject is to further address the sources of knowledge, conservation and enrichment of the language of contemporary African performative art. This aim practically nourishes the markers of a socio-cultural history that delivers the forms of knowledge of video performance comedy through the force of instinctive and poetic instincts. As we understand it, the systemic analysis of performative aesthetic issues in the re-configuration of the body is a support for creativity. So how could this analysis of creativity through performance in video comedy performance participate in the enrichment of contemporary artistic language?

La tesi propone evidenze empiriche e teoriche sull’importanza delle abilità cosiddette non cognitive come elemento fondamentale del capitale umano individuale.
In particolare, ci si propone di discutere se, e in che portata, queste capacità relazionali incidano sulle performance lavorative e sulle decisioni concernenti la salute. La tesi propone le reti sociali, o “social networks”, come possibile misurazione di queste capacità interpersonali.
Il primo capitolo presenta una dettagliata rassegna della letteratura sulle abilità non cognitive, e sui loro effetti su salari e stato di salute, e discute l’appropriatezza dell’utilizzo delle variabili di “social networks” come misura per tali abilità.
Il secondo capitolo stima a livello empirico l’impatto delle capacità relazionali sui salari. Per una completezza di metodologia e per verificare la robustezza dei risultati, le stime vengono effettuate con diverse metodologie econometriche.
Il terzo capitolo analizza gli effetti di queste abilità sociali sul consumo di sigarette, e discute la loro importanza rispetto ad altri fattori rilevanti, come tasse e comportamenti dei genitori. Il capitolo applica diversi stimatori, lineari e non, ed esamina le differenze, in termini di grandezza e significatività statistica, nei risultati ottenuti.This thesis provides further evidence on the importance of including non-cognitive and social skills as a component of individual human capital. In particular, it aims to assess whether interpersonal skills, measured through social network metrics, influence labour market and health attainment. The first chapter reviews the literature on non-cognitive skills and their impact on various outcomes, and discusses the use of social network metrics as measure of interpersonal skills. The second chapter empirically estimates the impact of these social skills on earnings. The effect is estimated comparing alternative empirical strategies to model social interactions, to fully examine the robustness and the meaning of the results obtained. The third chapter examines the effect of these skills on individual smoking behaviour over the young adulthood life. In particular, it examines the role of popularity and social skills on smoking decision, and compares the relative importance of these skills to other factors, such as cigarette taxes, and parents’ smoking behaviour. It also analysed the extent to which using non-linear estimators affects the significance and the magnitude of the effects of these factors.

L'analyse développée à partir d’entretiens biographiques souligne l’influence des différents parcours migratoires des parents et des expériences communes des enfants sur la construction de leurs attitudes politiques ; elle questionne leur éventuelle spécificité. Elle accorde une attention particulière à la mémoire familiale et aux dynamiques des transmissions intergénérationnelles, aux trajectoires socioprofessionnelles des descendants d’immigrés et de leurs parents ainsi qu’au contexte local de vieThis PhD questions the dynamics of political attitudes (interest, criticism, indifference, involvement etc.) of French youths from non-European immigrant background born or raised in France in deprived areas where a specific policy is implemented.

The interlocutors interviewed are from Senegal, Algeria, Morocco, Vietnam, Laos, Comoros etc. The analysis developed from biographical interviews underlines the influence of the different migration paths of the parents, and the common experiences of their children on the construction of their political attitudes; it questions their possible specificity. This analysis pays particular attention to the family memory and the dynamics of intergenerational transmission, to the socio-professional trajectories of immigrants’ descendants and those of their parents as well as their local context of residence

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the content, tone, form and authorship of the national newspaper gossip column 1918-1939, as a new means through which the qualities of the popular press in this period can be more closely defined. Often dismissed as an example of the sensational, Americanization of early twentieth-century popular culture, the celebrity gossip column has been loosely grouped with the friendly, informal language and bolder formatting of the ‘New Journalism’ of the late nineteenth century and the development of the dramatic ‘human-interest’ stories of ‘everyday life’ in the interwar period (LeMahieu, 1988; Wiener, 1988). Through a comparative study of six newspapers including the Daily Express, Daily Mail and News of the World, I analyse the changing representation of the celebrity subject, and, originally, the shifting character and persona of the gossip columnist. Whereas some historians have analysed the content of newspapers without considering the questions of the newspaper’s production, I analyse newspaper employment records, gossip columnists’ memoirs and their unpublished letters and diaries to define the specific economic, social and cultural circumstances which, I argue, influenced their public portrayal. Also, in examining the unpublished correspondence between editors, proprietors and columnists and the burgeoning print culture of journalistic training manuals and professional memoirs, I provide a history of the press’s professionalization in this period. The national popular press has often been used as a historical source to define national character and national identity in the interwar period (Bland, 2008; Kohn, 1992). By scrutinizing the content and production of the gossip column and particularly the class, behaviour, interactions and subject matter of the columnist, I argue that the gossip column presented a version of ‘Britishness’ that was not so inward-looking and domesticated as so many accounts of interwar Britain suggest.

Full textAbstract:
Lamaholot is a population found on Flores and in the Solor Archipelago of Eastern Indonesia. The population is village-based and divided into patrilineal descent groups. Marriage is coupled with bridewealth and follows a pattern of asymmetric marriage alliance between descent groups. This thesis shows that a small group of Lamaholot in the administrative regency of East Flores shares certain traditions with a neighbouring population called Ata Tana ‘Ai. Ata Tana ‘Ai are a sub-group of the Sikka population in the administrative regency of Sikka. Descent group among Ata Tana ‘Ai are matrilineal and households were traditionally based in scattered gardens. Marriage is not coupled with bridewealth and instances of asymmetric marriage alliance between descent groups are here a consequence rather than a cause of marriage. The current fieldsite seems to have been part of the ceremonial system of Ata Tana ‘Ai and also to have shared a tradition of dispersed settlement in the gardens. The descent groups might initially have been matrilineal, but in the recent past there was also a habit of dividing children between the parental descent groups. Recent traditions of dividing children can be found throughout central-east Flores, but seemingly not to same extent as at the fieldsite. The payment of elephant’s tusks was a central feature in the acquisition of group members at the fieldsite and could be paid by both men and women. These payments were not necessarily tied to marriage and did not serve as bridewealth. In the last century outer social factors, such as the Catholic mission and the creation of the Dutch colonial state, have resulted in that many of the traditional practices at the fieldsite have been replaced with traditions from Lamaholot elsewhere. The residence pattern is now village-based, but gardens retain a central social and ritual position. The role of the elephant’s tusks has taken different expressions throughout this period of social change, and alongside the changing role of tusks, the traditional social and material authority of women at the fieldsite has declined, whereas that of men has increased. This thesis examines the current and the traditional practices in and around the fieldsite, and focuses on local definitions of descent group, kinship, and inheritance, looking at both biological and social perspectives.

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif principal de ce travail est de recueillir la parole des parents entendants d’un enfant sourd porteur d’un implant cochléaire, sur les représentations de leur parentalité de leur point de vue et sur le rôle joué par l’implant au niveau de la communication et la transmission intergénérationnelle au sein de ces constellations familiales. Le groupe d’étude était composé de 55 parents d’un enfant sourd implanté cochléaire et de 31 parents d’enfants sans handicap. Les stratégies de coping ont été explorées au moyen de l’échelle WCC-R privilégiant la dimension transactionnelle selon la théorie de Lazarus et Folkman. Les représentations de la parentalité ainsi que le rôle de l’implant dans la transmission intergénérationnelle ont été analysés par le biais d’entretiens semi-directifs. Les résultats montrent que ces familles ont tendance à mobiliser un coping plus actif que ne le font des parents d’enfants sans handicap. Ils se positionnent en règle générale sur des savoirs-action leur permettant de faire à face à des situations potentiellement aversives du fait de la surdité de leur enfant. En outre, les parents du groupe d’étude expriment une satisfaction de leur parentalité d’un enfant sourd implanté qui malgré, l’épreuve vécue au moment de l’annonce du diagnostic, se façonne au fil du temps et des expériences partagées avec leur enfant.Ils s’inscrivent pleinement en qualité de parents responsables du projet de l’implant choisi entre autres pour l’avenir de leur enfant et pour partager un sentiment d’aperception tout en cultivant pour certains, par l’apprentissage et la pratique de la LSF, la dimension culturelle naturelle de leur enfantThe main objective of this work is to gather the voice of hearing parents of a deaf child with cochlear implant, on the representations of their parenthood from their point of view and on the role played by the implant at communication and intergenerational transmission levels within these family constellations.The study group was composed of 55 parents of a cochlear implanted deaf child and 31 parents of children without disabilities. The coping strategies were explored using the WCC-R scale, favoring the transactional dimension according to the Lazarus and Folkman theory. The representations of parenthood and the role of the implant in the intergenerational transmission were analyzed through semi-directive interviews. The results show that these families tend to mobilize a more active coping than the parents of children without disabilities. They generally position themselves on knowledge-action enabling them to deal with potentially aversive situations due to the deafness of their child. Furthermore, the parents of the study group express a satisfaction with their parenting of a deaf child with implants, which, despite the ordeal experienced at the time of the diagnosis, is being shaped over time and through experiences shared with their child. They fully embrace themselves as parents responsible for the implant project chosen – among other reasons – for their child's future and to share a sense of apperception, while cultivating for some of these parents, through the learning and practice of the LSF, the natural cultural dimension of their child

Full textAbstract:
Paper one: The attitudes and reasoning of abusive behaviour in adolescents who have been exposed to domestic abuse Exposure to domestic abuse in childhood can go on to negatively affect every aspect of that individual’s life. During adolescence, the impact of exposure to domestic abuse may go beyond the borders of the family and the individual, and affect the development of intimate relationships. This study explores the attitudes and reasoning of eleven young people who have been exposed to domestic abuse and are displaying perpetrator behaviours. Results reveal a complex interaction between experiences and skill deficits at a crucial time of identity formation, resulting in the formation and maintenance of destructive attitudes and contradictory reasoning about abusive behaviour. The direct implications of this study, suggestions for further research, and for Educational Psychology Services are discussed. Paper two: An evaluation of an intervention for adolescents who have been exposed to domestic abuse and are displaying perpetrator behaviours Where domestic violence occurs, children and young people are likely to have been exposed to such abuse. Evidence suggests that this is likely to have a detrimental impact on them. There is an acute gap in provision for such individuals, despite evidence suggesting a link between exposure to domestic abuse in childhood, and involvement in abusive dating relationships in late adolescence and adulthood. There has been little research testing the effectiveness of intervention programmes which aim to reduce this risk. In this study a before and after design was used to evaluate a cognitive-behavioural intervention programme for young people who have been exposed to domestic abuse and are displaying abusive behaviours. This evaluation was based on the views of the young people on this programme. Results indicate that certain elements of the programme were more successful in achieving the programme aims. Considerations for the development of further programmes which target this client group are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse a pour objet l’étude de processus de transmission en situation (post)migratoire. A partir d’une étude socio-anthropologique, elle vise à saisir l’impact de différents cadres nationaux sur ces transmissions, mais aussi à étudier les dynamiques transnationales à l’œuvre, car le groupe étudié est caractérisé par sa forte répartition dans plusieurs pays d’Europe. L’analyse dégage diverses formes de transmissions, allant des rapports de genre aux langues, aux pratiques transnationales, à la religion, ou encore au rapport à la modernité et à l’altérité. Ces transmissions révèlent, indépendamment de l’origine sociale des familles rencontrées, être motivées par la transmission de la « fierté d’être soi », par laquelle les familles élaborent une résistance active à l’impact du postcolonialisme. Un outil particulièrement puissant dans ce processus s’avère consister dans la transmission de la mémoire familiale, par laquelle les personnes étudiées développent une réflexion intense autour du rapport entre histoire, mémoire et construction des sociétés contemporaines, visant à rapprocher le « ici » du « là-bas »This PhD treats the question of transmission processes in families with migrant background. Departing from a socio-anthropological research, the study aims at depicting the impact of different national frameworks on these transmissions, but also to grasp the transnational dynamics at work, as the group of migrants concerned is particularly widespread in Europe. The analysis reveals different forms of transmission, going from the transmission of gender relations to the transmission of languages, transnational practices, religion or the positioning towards modernity and “Othering”. Independently from the social origin of the encountered families, these transmissions show to be motivated by the “strategy of transmitting self-esteem”, through which the families develop an active resistance to the impact of postcolonialism. A particularly powerful tool here by consists of the transmission of family memory, through which the encountered persons develop an intense reflection on the relationship between history, memory and the construction of contemporary societies, aiming at letting the “here” and the “there” get closer to one another

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de recherche s'inscrit dans une approche pluridisciplinaire - monographique, ethnographique et sociolinguistique avec une dimension longitudinale. Il tente de décrire de manière approfondie les pratiques linguistiques familiales de quatre familles indiennes immigrantes installées dans quatre pays européens : la France, la Suède, la Norvège et la Finlande. Cette étude cherche également à cerner les enjeux des politiques linguistiques familiales, domaine dans lequel peu de recherches ont été entreprises et qui, de ce fait, reste à développer. Par ailleurs, les idéologies et attitudes concernant les langues se traduisent dans les décisions prises par les chefs de la famille, les parents, qui privilégient l'apprentissage de telle ou telle langue, pour eux-mêmes et surtout pour les enfants. Au plan macro, la politique linguistique nationale de chacun des pays concernés par notre étude est évoquée, y compris celle de l'Inde, avec un centrage sur la politique linguistique éducative et les modalités d'enseignement des langues migrantes. Le plurilinguisme des participants est analysé avec la notion de répertoire multilingue au sein duquel les compétences langagières sont segmentées par domaine. Les notions d'espace, de contexte, de mobilité, d'échelle, de polycentralité et d'ordres d'indexicalité ont été convoquées pour pouvoir appréhender ces compétences. La transmission linguistique intergénérationnelle est abordée par le biais d'une analyse critique de la politique linguistique familiale et nationale ainsi que la question de l'incidence du legs des valeurs culturelles et linguistiques du pays d'origine (ou de son absence) sur la construction de l'identité de la deuxième génération.

Full textAbstract:
Qu'est-ce qui prédispose le Portugal, le Brésil, le Québec, et l'Indiana aux USA, à mettre en place des sites institutionnels des récits de vie comme les musées de la personne, contrairement en France, où des initiatives de ce genre relèvent de la vie privée ? Nous nous interrogeons sur la force que peuvent revêtir ces récits de vie vidéos et sur le choix de ces pays de les podcaster : s’agit-il de redonner la parole à toutes les générations, les rendre plus visibles ou audibles, dans le but de transmettre, de laisser des traces pour la postérité ? Quelle est la teneur des ces traces, et qu’est-ce qui s’opère dans l’interaction entre générations ? Nous recherchons à podcaster et étudier les traces sémiotiques, sémantiques, sémiologiques des récits de vie issus de ce réseau de sites « Musée de la personne » de ces 4 pays. Nous considérons que les traces de la mémoire vivante des récits présents sur des supports numériques ou audiovisuels, constituent un édifice aussi matériel qu’un musée dans un espace donné. Le récit de vie traduirait une immémorialité, « un mouvement permanent entre temps présent et temps passé, des informations ou des événements passés et présents marquent le dialogue présent ». Nous sommes en présence de normes nouvelles, mais surtout en présence de paradigmes successifs ou de mouvements paradoxaux de recontextualisation et de reconfiguration symbolique, au fur et à mesure que ces récits de vie se transmettent d’un citoyen à un autre. Ces récits et « ces pratiques mémorielles sont très vivants chez les Anglais et les Australiens ». Il nous semble que les récits de vie peuvent participer à la formation du lien social entre générations, entre citoyens nationaux et non nationaux. Ce lien social doit s’inscrire dans l'attention et la responsabilité portée et partagée entre ascendants et descendants. Ce programme d'attention aux générations s'appelle la « neguentropie ». Il s'agirait d'un programme éthique et responsable de l'attention portée à autrui, basé sur la générosité.Tous ces dispositifs d'attention, ces récits de vie doivent s’inscrire dans une « noopolitique » de la santé publique aussi bien physique que mentale. Il s'agit de prendre garde « aux déficits attentionnels et aux troubles intergénérationnels ». Un « psychopouvoir » devrait être mis en place par nos gouvernements au service « d'une politique industrielle des technologies de l'esprit »What predisposes Portugal, Brazil, Quebec, and Indiana in the USA, to set up institutional sites of “life stories” on supports (media) videos (like virtual museums), unlike in France, where such initiative remains private life? We will try to focus on the strength of life stories, and we will try to understand why countries chose to podcast them. Actually, do they use life stories in order to hand over to the rising generation, and to make them more visible and audible, so that life stories are passing on and leave prints forever (to let posterity)? Besides, what is the content of these prints, and what do they occur to the generations? Also, what about the interaction between them? In fact, we will try to podcast and study semiotic, semantic and semiological prints of life stories that we can find on the following websites, called “Museum of the person" which is suitable for the four countries that we have previously mentioned. It seems that life stories prints found in digital and audiovisual media, are like a material building, as real as a museum in a given and real place. Moreover, we have to say that a life story is like a "permanent movement between the past and the present” that influences the present dialogue. We are facing with such new standards, especially with successive paradigms or paradoxical movements of recontextualization and symbolic reconfiguration, every time that a life story is told from a citizen to another. Life stories and memory passing down generation to generation, are very common to English and Australian people. It truly seems that life stories prints are part of a social link between all the generations, and also between national and non-national citizens. This important social link takes part of aspecific care/ attention to memories and their responsibility that are shared between ascendants and descendants. This care program is called "neguentropy". It is an ethical and responsible program based of the attention to others, and generosity. All this plan of actions, relying on the attention of life stories, should be part of a”physical and mental public noopolitic health program”. The aim is to face attention deficit disorder and intergenerational discord. Finally, a "psychopower" should be set up by our governments in order to serve an “industrial policy of spirit mind technology”

Full textAbstract:
The content of this thesis is premised on a reflexive examination of some historical juxtapositions culminating in critical aspects of being Māori in the twenty first century and how such aspects have informed contemporary indigenous identity. That is, the continuing acknowledgement and exponential public recognition of critical concepts which inextricably link indigenous and civic identity. The theoretical sources for this research are, in the main, derived from anthropological and religious studies, particularly on the significance of mythologies and oral histories, as well as from the oral theorising of elders in Aotearoa New Zealand. A very significant contribution from one such elder, a senior Māori woman academic, has been included in the form of the transcript of an interview. She herself had collected the views of a number of elders on myth, creating a rare and valuable resource. In the interview she married her reflections on these with her own experiences and her cogent analyses. From the outset, it was necessary to be discerning so as to ensure the thesis workload was manageable and realistic. For this reason the selected critical aspects that have been used to frame this research are (1) a developing Western validation (that is, acknowledgement and respect) of Māori, Māori culture and their mythology; (2) oral history (genealogy) and traditions that have remained constant despite the influences of modernity; and (3) notions of fluidity, negotiation and pragmatism regarding kinship legacies and cultural heritage. The thesis is comprised of six chapters starting from a subjective narrative leading through increasingly objective discourses that culminate in a conclusion which supports a belief that modern Māori require a balancing of critical aspects of cultural heritage, with a broad understanding of the world of the 'other', in order to realise and develop their contemporary indigenous identity. Ultimately, indigenous ideologies, practices and knowledge recorded and examined in the world of academia today, become potential resources for tomorrow. The intention of this research is to aggregate and discuss intrinsic aspects of the Māori past as well as developing aspects of the present, in order to better understand the significance of the future, and to add to the growing corpus of indigenous worldviews.
