Abstract. Discrepancies in perceived parenting and parental roles across European countries could be due to the use of different assessment techniques or due to mean level differences in the authoritative, authoritarian, or permissive parenting styles. The present study aimed to examine the psychometric characteristics of the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ; Robinson, Mandleco, Olsen, & Hart, 1995 , 2001 ) in a sample of 225 Greek, 301 Italian, and 279 Swedish adolescents aged 16–19 years, who evaluated their father’s and mother’s parenting styles during their childhood. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), multigroup CFA, and modified version of the correlated uniqueness model were used to evaluate the structure and invariance of the scale across countries. Measurement and structural invariance was found in the 8-item authoritative scale and 6-item authoritarian scale. A mixed ANOVA (Country × Style × Role) showed that Swedish mothers scored lower than Italian or Greek mothers, and that, in the three countries, mothers were perceived as more authoritative than were fathers.

Intensive Parenting

Social concern about online behaviour and safety of children and youth has increased dramatically in the last decade and has resulted in an abundance of parenting advice on ways to manage and protect children online. The cultural context in which this is happening is one characterised by intensive parenting norms, heightened risk awareness, and growing concerns about the effects of ‘over-parenting’, especially in the teenage years. Using contemporary advice to parents on managing adolescents’ digital experiences, this study investigates the ways that parenting, youth and the youth–parent relationship are depicted. Parental roles, in this material, are portrayed as instrumental and pedagogical while youth are assumed to lack agency and judgement. Intensive parenting expectations are extended as parents face advice to be both highly vigilant agents of surveillance and trusted confidantes of their children, with an overall goal of shaping children’s subjectivity in ways that allow them to become self-governing.

This paper discusses changes in Japanese parenting over the past two generations. Using an inductive approach to the understanding of Japanese families, 10 separate families were theoretically sampled in the Kansai area during the summer of 2000. Concepts surrounding changing parenting emerged from talks with parents. Four interrelated concepts are eminent in the interviews: the rise of individual ethics in parenting, changing parental roles, impacts of changes on children, and romanticized parenting. Key generational and gender differences are apparent across all four concepts. Concepts that emerged from these interviews reflect changes in society and the family that past research has addressed.

The Way

The paper presents the results of research on difficulties in realization of parental roles of parents of children with intellectual disabilities. The au­thor has surveyed 222 parents of chil­dren with intellectual disabilities, includ­ing 111 mothers and 111 fathers. The re­search was completed in 2013 and 2014 in the Lublin Province. On the basis of parents’ declarations it can be seen that most respondents did not encounter dif­ficulties in the professional sphere or the sphere of marriage, but in tasks connect­ed with raising a child with a disability. Problems that appear in parenting chil­dren with disabilities concern most of­ten health care services, rehabilitation and the way the disabled are treated by others.

Using Data

This paper explores the etiology of ideological constraint in the United States. In an effort to gain understanding of the ideational elements of political socialization, we concentrate on a provocative new theory put forward by cognitive linguist George Lakoff. Lakoff argues that many people reflexively envision proper power relations between citizens and government based on their understanding of proper power relations between children and parents: “nurturant” visions of parental roles engender egalitarian and humanitarian political values, whereas “disciplinarian” visions of proper parenting predict political individualism and traditionalism. Using data obtained from the 2000 National Election Study, we consider the empirical mettle of this account.

The Welfare State

Before the welfare state, people were protected from disabilities resulting from illness, old age, and other infirmities by care work provided within the family. When the state assumes responsibility for care-work tasks, in effect it assumes parental roles, thereby becoming a form offamilial governmentin which the public provision of goods and services is analogous to care work provided in the family. My research pushes back the origins of the state’s obligation to care for people to a preindustrial form of government, hereditary monarchies—what Max Weber termed patrimonialism. It explicates how monarchs were cast as the parents of the people, thereby constituting kingship as a care work regime that assigned to political rulers parental responsibility for the welfare of the people. Using historical and quantitative analysis, I establish that retaining the legitimacy of monarchies as the first form of familial government in the course of Western European democratizing makes it more credible to the public and to political elites to accept the welfare state as the second form of familial government. That, in turn, promotes a more robust public sector supportive of social provision. The results reformulate conceptions of the contemporary welfare state and its developmental legacies.

Mohandas Gandhi is a legend among the world’s greatest men. His many selfless acts were able to unite a nation and remove the British from colonial India. Gandhi is responsible for leading the establishment of an independent India, free from foreign intervention. However, was he mistaken to be a mystic, a sorcerer, the father of a nation or a great Mahatma? Were these attributions part of Gandhi’s true intentions or did he use the proclaimed titles as a political tool for the advancement of the nationalist campaign? Academics who specialize in modern Indian history have claimed Gandhi to be the father of a nation and a great soul or more famously known as the Mahatma. An analysis of two works, the first being Gandhi as Mahatma: Gorakhpur district, Eastern UP, 1921‐1922 by Shahid Amin and the second entitled,“Father of the Nation” in Gandhi in His Time and Ours by David Hardiman. Both works make claims as to Gandhi’s self‐righteous and father titles. However, upon further discussion it will be proven that Gandhi sought never to attain such grandiose titles; it was against his intentions. As Gandhi’s influence grew throughout the Indian subcontinent so did the titles bestowed upon him by Indians. He was wrongly associated with deities and parental roles. The accomplishments of Gandhi will forever be admired by mankind as a whole yet Gandhi did not seek to be remembered as a Mahatma or Father.
