Student Questionnaire

Characteristics of the family of origin and of the present nuclear family were related to 10 factor-analytically derived dimensions of teacher behavior, based on student questionnaire responses. Birth order in family of origin was related to “criticism, disapproval, hostility vs tolerance” (with first borns more critical, later-borns more tolerant) among 69 male teachers of adults. The sex of the majority of the teachers' children related to a personalism factor, those with mostly male children tending to teach “impersonally;” those with mostly female children tending to teach with “personal expression.”

The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between communication styles within the family and its impact on self-affirmation on female students at the sixth-grade primary school in Jeddah. This study was conducted on a sample of 252 students which were selected randomly. The researcher used the correlative/ comparative descriptive approach in conducting this particular study. Scales of both communication styles as well as self-affirmation were chosen and the following results were obtained. The method supplies or top offensive common methods of communication within the family by medium (24.60), followed by an average affirmative method (22.98) and third style skylights average (19.63), finally came the affirmative method average (15.51), affirmative behavior also achieved Level (average), median (44.87) and a percentage of (56.08%). A positive relationship with a statistic significant was existed between all communication styles and self-affirmation of the participants except for the manipulative style. In addition, differences with a statistic significant were discovered between the medium degrees of communication styles and parents’ level of education. Furthermore, differences with a statistic significant were appeared on the participants’ medium degrees according to their family economic status. Conversely, no differences were pointed out for the manipulative and assertive styles. Moreover, differences with a statistic significant were noted on the participants, medium degrees in accordance with their birth order in the family. No differences were marked between participants for the aggressive and affirmative styles. Additionally, differences with a statistic significant were found between the participants, degrees in communication styles and their family size especially in the aggressive style. These differences were clear for those with an extended family while the differences between the affirmative and assertive styles were for students related to a nuclear family. No differences were obtained between both styles the passive and the manipulative. Furthermore, differences with a statistic significant were revealed between the participants, medium degrees of self-affirmation and their family level of education for those with post-secondary education parents. Similarly, differences were observed between the participants, self-affirmation and their family economic status for those with an outcome less than (5000) Riyals. Finally, based on the current study there were no differences with statistic significant among participants, medium degrees on their self-affirmation according to their birth order and their family size. In light of this study, several recommendations and future research were suggested.

This chapter introduces the family: father Edmund, a shoemaker turned bookseller, and his three or four wives, their social and religious status, questions of literacy and formal education. The children are introduced more or less in their birth order: Kezia, Ebenezer, Manoah, Job, and Charity. The difficulties of tracing women is discussed. Particular attention is paid to Kezia, who was the subject of one of Ebenezer’s astrological cases, and Charity, who left a decades-long trail through official records, marking her as one of the most economically savvy members of the family. Since many of the Sibly men took shorthand, there is a brief discussion of contemporary shorthand uses, accuracy, and to what extent shorthand takers preserved the voice of the speaker. Ebenezer’s daughter Urania is also introduced, though like Ebenezer and Manoah, she has her own chapter later in the work

The Impact

The functional value experience of family tourism has often been paid attention both by tourists themselves and the tourism industry, but the individual value experience of parents in family tourism has been neglected. Family tourism shifts the scenario of interpersonal interaction between families from home, the conventional environment, to a non-conventional one. This change in the interactive situation will inevitably bring about changes in interpersonal interaction behavior and individual perception, especially to tourists who take on the role of parents in a nuclear family. This study enriches the examination of the family tourism experience by exploring the interpersonal interaction, existential authenticity travel experiences, and quality of tourist experience perceived by parents in family tourism. The main findings are: 1) In the non-conventional environment of tourism, effective interaction between tourists and their families helps to improve tourists’ emotional experience and satisfaction; 2) Three aspects of existential authenticity are the internal causes of the impact of interpersonal interaction on emotional experience and satisfaction; 3) Differences in parental roles make important discrepancies between men and women’s perception of family tourism experiences. This study provides insights to understanding the family tourism market and brings valuable findings to the area of family tourism marketing and management.

The Relationship

SummaryUsing data from India’s National Family Health Survey, 2005–06 (NFHS-3), this article examines the patterns of relationship between birth order and infant mortality. The analysis controls for a number of variables, including mother’s characteristics such as age at the time of survey, current place of residence (urban/rural), years of schooling, religion, caste, and child’s sex and birth weight. A modest J-shaped relationship between birth order of children and their risk of dying in the neonatal period is found, suggesting that although both first- and last-born children are at a significantly greater risk of dying compared with those in the middle, last-borns (i.e. fourth and higher order births) are at the worst risk. However, in the post-neonatal period first-borns are not as vulnerable, but the risk increases steadily with the addition of successive births and last-borns are at much greater risk, even worse than those in the neonatal period. Although the strength of relationship between birth order and mortality is attenuated after the potential confounders are taken into account, the relationship between the two variables remains curvilinear in the neonatal period and direct in the post-neonatal period. There are marked differences in these patterns by the child’s sex. While female children are less prone to the risk of dying in the neonatal period in comparison with male children, the converse is true in the post-neonatal period. Female children not only run higher risks of dying in the post-neonatal period, but also become progressively more vulnerable with an increase in birth order.

The aim of this study was to compare forgiveness in secure and insecure Iranian married couples. Whether marriage had occurred within the family (consanguine) or not (non-consanguine) was also considered. 400 married participants completed the Family Forgiveness Scale and the Adult Attachment Questionnaire. Analysis of reported forgiveness within the marital family showed that, although there was no significant difference between secure and insecure participants in overall forgiveness, secure participants rated “reparation” and “resolution” higher, whereas insecure participants rated “realization” and “recognition” higher. Comparing the experience of forgiveness in the family of origin, securely attached couples not only reported significantly more overall forgiveness but reported more “realization” and “resolution” while forgiving. Some interesting sex differences were also found, as individuals in consanguine vs non-consanguine couples differed in mean “recognition” in the forgiveness process.

Abstract In recent years, Singapore made significant reforms towards the establishment of a dedicated family justice system, setting up the Family Justice Courts and enacting new laws to better manage the divorce process and the protection of children. Related policy changes have also been implemented to provide and support families that were previously considered non-traditional and even deviant. Rhetorically, the state, led by the long-ruling People’s Action Party, continues to champion the modern nuclear family with heterosexual marriage at its core as the normal “traditional” form of the family and the bedrock of conservative “Asian values” defining society and politics in Singapore. However, what the judiciary espouse as the new family justice paradigm and the related family justice practices, together with the shifts in social policy towards different family types, are changing the texture of the dominant conservatism rallied by “Asian values” discourse. This article locates and analyses the incipient paradigm shift in the rising pluralism of family forms and the influence of international legal developments in protecting the rights of the child and interventionist family law. By attempting to bridge the Weberian chasm of doing sociology as a vocation and doing politics as a vocation (as an opposition Member of Parliament), I show that the family justice paradigm has opened up the discursive field on the family and produce the politics of ambivalence caught between family justice and Asian family values. I argue for a relational family justice paradigm as a way to move beyond the politics of ambivalence.
