Culture Of Silence

This qualitative study analysed the agency of eight non-abusing mothers in the Turkish Cypriot Community after disclosure that their child had been sexually abused by someone outside the family. The aim was to discover how, after disclosure, such mothers act to protect their children in the contexts of their family and community. The data were gathered via semi-structured in-depth interviews and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). In the nuclear family context, maternal agency emerged in the form of motherhood skills, including emotionally supporting the abused child, double-checking the child’s safety or limiting the child’s mobility, and controlling the actions of adult sons. In the community context, maternal agency was manifested in efforts to prevent men in the extended family or the abuser’s family from concealing the abuse and to obtain informal support from others such as birth or extended family members. The women were usually successful in hiding their reactions or making decisions in their children’s best interest despite frequently having to cope with the reality of living in a restrictive and patriarchal culture. The results emphasise the need for working with the general public and professionals to change the culture of silence and to improve the social support network for sexually abused children and non-abusing family members, especially mothers.

Same-sex relationship dissolution has reverberations for individuals beyond the nuclear family. This chapter discusses a lesbian-parent family, consisting of two moms and two kids—when it broke up nearly two decades ago, many other family members, including the donor and his husband, were deeply affected. This chapter reflects on this experience from the author’s perspective of a family scholar and an activist for LGBTQ family rights. In the absence of legal marriage and thus legal divorce, family lives turned out in ways that even the most careful, deliberate efforts could not anticipate nor protect. The experiences described highlight many losses and regrets, despite the intentional love and concern for all of the parents, children, and extended family members involved. These reflections on this experience are intended to honor the family as it once was and the families they have become.

The objective of this work was to describe how poverty influences family’s consumption pattern in the Household wealth theory which explains that wealth is a source of well-being and how the increasing rate of unemployment among household due to the deterioration of the job markets has affected family members’ consumption of home products for 202 participants. A systematic sampling method was used in which in every neighbourhood, much effort was made to start with an nth subject and then select every twentieth unit after the first was selected. The questionnaires were administered by directly contacting and handing them to the respondents (self-administered) and the non-literate ones were helped to fill them. It was discovered that, people tend to prefer nuclear family as their income rises and extended family as their income decreases. The nuclear family members have a better consumption habit than extended family members, single parents and single people because they earn more money and have a much smaller family-size. However, single parent tend to significantly use formal health seeking methods than others because they also have smaller families. The extended family consume more home-based goods and therefore have more domestic comfort: they do not only significantly own and rent expensive and quality homes but also have more durable goods.

New Information

Previous family history studies have demonstrated that there are elevated rates of language and language-related impairments in families identified through probands with language impairments. This study examines family histories of children with specific language impairment (SLI) known to have particular grammatical limitations in a core feature of grammatical acquisition, a stage known as Extended Optional Infinitives (EOI). Family affectedness rates are reported for 31 families identified through preschool probands with this clearly defined language impairment and 67 control families, identified through nonaffected preschool children developmentally similar to the probands. It was found that significantly more speech and language difficulties, as well as language-related difficulties, such as reading, were reported for proband families than control families. The elevated rates were obtained for nuclear family members and extended family members as well. Fathers of probands were more often reported as having difficulties (29% for speech/language impairments) than were mothers of probands (7%), but there was no difference between brothers (26%) and sisters (29%). No differences were evident between proband families based on proband gender. The findings are relevant for theoretical models of sources of unexplained variations in grammatical competence in young children. In addition, the findings contribute new information about expected rates of affectedness, means of identification of affected family members, and comorbidity of symptomatology.

Specific Language

Two family aggregation studies report the occurrence and co-occurrence of oral language impairments (LIs) and reading impairments (RIs). Study 1 examined the occurrence (rate) of LI and RI in children with specific language impairment (SLI probands), a matched control group, and all nuclear family members. Study 2 included a larger sample of SLI probands, as well as their nuclear and extended family members. Probands and their family members who met specific criteria were classified as language and/or reading impaired based on current testing. In Study 1, the rates of LI and RI for nuclear family members (excluding probands) were significantly higher than those for control family members. In the SLI families, affected family members were more likely to have both LI and RI than either impairment alone. In Study 2, 68% of the SLI probands also met the diagnostic classification for RI. The language and RI rates for the other family members, excluding probands, were 25% and 23% respectively, with a high degree of co-occurrence of LI and RI (46%) in affected individuals. Significant sex ratio differences were found across generations in the families of SLI probands. There were more male than female offspring in these families, and more males than females were found to have both LIs and RIs. Results demonstrate that when LIs occur within families of SLI probands, these impairments generally co-occur with RIs. Our data are also consistent with prior findings that males show impairments more often than females.

The Village

In Mesoamerica and the Near East, the emergence of the village seems to have involved two stages. In the first stage, individuals were distributed through a series of small circular-to-oval structures, accompanied by communal or “shared” storage features. In the second stage, nuclear families occupied substantial rectangular houses with private storage rooms. Over the last 30 years a wealth of data from the Near East, Egypt, the Trans-Caucasus, India, Africa, and the Southwest U.S. have enriched our understanding of this phenomenon. And in Mesoamerica and the Near East, evidence suggests that nuclear family households eventually gave way to a third stage, one featuring extended family households whose greater labor force made possible extensive multifaceted economies.

The aim of the research presented in the paper is to explore the inter-relations between care processes and personal social networks as social capital in the light of the changing family models. Research of interdependence of care, social capital and family models is based on the idea of family practices suggested by Morgan. The main research question is what family practices of various family models create such social capital that ensure caring for its' members? The research hypothesis is that participation in various activities together with family members and persons beyond nuclear and extended family create dense social networks of caregivers. The analysis is based on data of representative quantitative survey carried out in Lithuania between 2011 November-2012 May within the ESF supported research project "Trajectories of family models and social networks: intergenerational perspective". Research results only partly support this hypothesis: particular family practices create networks of caregivers, but in order to involve particular persons into network of caregivers, different family practices in various family models are needed. Usually, inhabitants of Lithuania primarily expect to receive care from persons who depend to nuclear family created through marriage and extended family arisen from this relation. But persons from whom it is expected to receive care and care received differ in Lithuania. In reality, caregivers usually are children in families with children and parents in families without children. Family practices that create social networks of caregivers, and are common for all family models include annual feasts like Christmas Eve, Christmas, Easter, All Soul's Day, New Year party, Mother's Day. Various family practices differently impacting creation social networks of caregivers for different family models but usually its include joint dinner daily, Sunday lunch together, vacations with family, communication face-toface, by the telephone or Internet, consultations on important decision-making, All Soul's Day feast, Christmas celebration, Mother's Day, Gatherings of relatives, Birthday, Name-day feast, visiting cultural event together.

Background: Nature of the disease, side effect from treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and chemo radiation reduce the patient’s quality of life. Thus, the family support is substantial in cancer patient treatment. Aim of this study was comparing the quality of life of patients with cervical cancer in support of the nuclear family and extended family at Dr. Sardjito hospital Yogyakarta, Indonesia.Methods: The study population were all cervical cancer patients treated with chemotherapy in Dr. Sardjito general hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia from October to November 2016. Samples were collected using purposive sampling to obtain 62 respondents, 30 respondents for nuclear family group and 32 for extended family group. The study instruments were family support questionnaire, EORTC QLQ-C30 Indonesian version, and EORTC QLQ-C24 were translated to Indonesian. The quality of life was assessed during chemotherapy.Results: Quality of life for cervical cancer patient from supportive family had mean >50. The respective mean of general health status for patients from supportive nuclear and extended family were 76.28±21.434 and 67.82±22.017. Nearly all items in symptom, multi-item and single-item scales had mean <50, except item financial problem. Meanwhile, quality of life for cervical cancer patient from unsupportive family had mean >50. The respective mean of general health status for patients from unsupportive nuclear and extended family were 70.83±20.972 and 75.00±8.33. Nearly all items in symptom, multi-item and single-item scales had mean <50, except items fatigue and sore. Several items of quality of life had p<0.05, which were constipation (p=0.049), and financial problem (p=0.045).Conclusions: There was no significant difference between quality of life of cervical cancer patients with support from nuclear and extended families. However, in ‘financial problem’ item, nuclear family had better quality of life while in contrast, extended family had better quality of life in ‘constipation’ item. Family education program needed because several domains of quality of life is still low and requires family involvement in treatment.

The Stability

Despite changing family compositions, entrenched in family law is the antiquated idea that a two-parent household, or its approximation vis-à-vis a shared custody arrangement, promotes stability and integrity and, thus, is in the best interest of the child. Yet, the concept that the two-parent household (or shared involvement of both parents in the child’s life if the parents separate) promotes stability for the family and is best for the child is a dangerous fallacy. When rape or intimate partner violence (IPV) is present, or the re-occurrence of violence remains a threat, the family unit is far from stable. This Article explores the legal system’s glorification of the nuclear family, its resistance to shifting away from the two-parent paradigm, and how this resistance creates a stability paradox and perpetuates violence against women and children. The harmful impact that the nuclear family paradigm has on families is further explored by an examination of the statutory constructs and judicial interpretations of termination of parental rights (TPR) and custody statutes in cases where a child is conceived as a result of rape or exposed to ongoing IPV. Cases are utilized to examine how courts have interpreted parental rights statutes where a child is conceived as a result of rape. Additionally, a hypothetical case is discussed to explore arguments that may be advanced in TPR cases where children are exposed to ongoing IPV. The Article finds that although there are inherent problems in enacting statutes to terminate parental rights in cases involving rape or IPV, legislation is also a necessary tool for survivors. Model legislation is proposed for termination of parental rights in cases where a child is conceived as a result of a sexual offense or when a child is exposed to ongoing IPV.

Bentuk keluarga di Indonesia cukup beragam, namun secara garis besar bentuk keluarga tersebut dibagi menjadi nuclear family dan extended family. Kedua bentuk keluarga ini memiliki perbedaan mendasar dari anggota keluarga yang ada dalam keluarga tersebut, dimana keduanya mampu menimbulkan dinamika yang berbeda  khususnya dari ketersediaan dukungan sosial dan berdampak terhadap Parenting Self-Efficacy (PSE) ayah. Penelitian ini bertunjuan untuk mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan PSE ayah pada nuclear dan extended family yang diukur dengan menggunakan Fathering Self-Efficacy Scale (FSES), dimana desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kuantitatif. Teknik sampling dalam penelitian ini adalah snowball dengan jumlah subjek sebesar 200 orang dan data yang didapatkan dari subjek dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji Mann Whitney. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai Z= -1.273 dan p=0.216 (p>0.05) sehingga dapat diketahui bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan terhadap PSE ayah pada nuclear dan extended family.  Kata Kunci: Parenting Self-Efficacy,  nuclear family, extended family There are a lot of family form in Indonesia, but the outline of that form devides into nuclear family and extended family. The basic difference of both of them is family member who existing in and causes a different dynamic spesifically the availibilty of social support, so at the end of the day it will affect on father’s Parenting Self-Efficacy (PSE). The aim of this study is identying the differences of PSE level between father in nuclear family and extended family by using a Fathering Self-Efficacy Scale (FSES) with  quantitative as a research design. Snowball is a sampling technique with 200 subjects and the data is analyzed by using Mann Whitney test. The result shows Z score=-1.273 and p=0.216 (p>0.05), therefore there is no significant differences of PSE level between father in nuclear and extended family. Keywords:  PSE, nuclear family, extended family
