Nurturant Parent

An attempt was made to relate Thorne and Faro's measure of parent ego state to child-rearing attitudes of college students. Results showed only limited support for the ego-state measure. Correlations were as expected for the nurturant-parent ego state but only for men. Few attitudes correlated significantly with the critical parent ego state.

This study investigated the extent to which college students' preference for humor could be predicted by ego states derived from Transactional Analysis. Scores on The Adjective Check List determined the ego states of Nurturant Parent, Critical Parent, Adult, Free Child, and Adapted Child. Preferences for nonsense, ethnic, and sexual humor were measured by scores on the Antioch Sense of Humor Inventory. A step-wise multiple regression, used to test the predictive power of the ego states, indicated that the Critical Parent ego state had a strong negative evaluation of nonsense humor, while the Free Child and Adapted Child were the strongest predictors of negative evaluation of ethnic humor. Categories of Critical Parent and Adapted Child provided the strongest prediction of positive preference for sexual humor.

Stratified Sample

To compare parental attitudes of alcoholics and nonalcoholics a parental attitude questionnaire (PARI-Q4) was administered to a stratified sample of alcoholic veterans in a VA alcohol treatment program and to nonalcoholic male veterans employed at the VAMC. The f-test was used to test equality between samples. Pearson's r was used to correlate for age on all scales. ANOVA methods were used to correlate race, social class, and fatherhood variables. Significant differences between the groups appeared on six scales, “Encouraging Verbalization,” “Avoiding Harsh Punishment,” “Encouraging Emotional Expression,” “Irresponsibility of Father,” “Inconsiderate-ness of Wife,” and “Tolerating Aggression.” No significant differences regarding fatherhood, race, age or social class were found. Since alcoholism was the only significant variable found in this study it points to the need for intervention through teaching parental skills to alcoholics to decrease the risk of their children becoming alcoholics.

48 female and 48 male college students judged the extent to which the formerly married are restricted in their social relationships. Each subject evaluated one of four groups: widowed women, divorced women, widowed men, or divorced men. There was limited support for the hypotheses that the divorced would be perceived as more restricted than the widowed and that women would be perceived as more restricted than men.

Measures of attitude extremity and measures of latitudes of acceptance, rejection and indifference were administered to 87 Ss (male college students) in order to test social-judgment hypotheses about the relationships among those variables. Pearsonian correlations were computed between extremity scores and sizes of the latitudes. Part of the data provided limited support to social-judgment predictions, but other parts disconfirmed some of the predictions. Different relationships were obtained between extremity and latitudes with the two different measures of attitude extremity (a semantic-differential scale and a Thurstone-type scale) used in this investigation. Possible explanations for the results were discussed, and suggestions were made for further research to answer some of the questions raised.

The Family

The early 1960s created the brewing of social change before the explosion of the cultural revolution of the late 1960s. In this period, Hollywood released its first family movies, Mary Poppins in 1964 and The Sound of Music in 1965, meant to be enjoyed by children and parents alike. These two movies enjoyed a wealth of surprising success, sweeping the academy awards and establishing The Sound of Music as the top grossing film of all time, surpassing America’s beloved Gone With The Wind. Historians and contemporaries alike have questioned and offered answers as to why two movie musicals would capture the attention of the nation with such force. This thesis seeks to argue that Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music addressed fears concerning the breakdown of family life, feminine and maternal identity, questions of child rearing and provided wholesome family entertainment that the American family was seeking, while pioneering as the first films in the family movie movement.

Attitudes Towards Marriage

This chapter offers a study of the iconoclastic Uchida Shungiku and her series of pregnancy manga, We are Breeding, 1994-. Uchida has become notorious in Japan not only for her willingness to expose the seamy underside of Japanese family life (chronicled in her 1993 autobiographical novel Father Fucker), but also for her own unorthodox attitudes towards marriage and child-rearing. While becoming a mother has given Uchida a platform to assail the unfairness of the patriarchal Japanese family system, she refuses to allow motherhood to define her as a woman. For Uchida, pregnancy has served as a means of self-assertion, transforming her into an avatar of Japanese post-feminism. More recently, Uchida has turned her attention from making children to raising them: her frank and often funny sex-education manga (Sex for Girls), addressed to her own daughters, attempts to provide an honest discussion about sex and the body in contemporary Japan.

Private Domain

Crystal Eastman ardently pursued equalitarian feminism but also asserted that feminism must have three parts: politics and public policy; wages and the workplace; and—the distinctive final portion—the private domain of love, marriage, and the family. She believed millions of women like herself experienced acute feminist concerns not merely in the battle for economic opportunity in the workforce, or political representation and voice, but also from conflicts between their desire for the rewards of life beyond the home and for the rewards of family as well. She pursued this missing policy analysis for the rest of her life, advocating birth control in the feminist program, the endowment of motherhood, and feminist child-rearing and education. In unpublished articles, she also explored wages for wives and single motherhood by choice. All the while, Eastman was experimenting with a variety of novel approaches to integrating her feminism in own her marriage and family life.

The relationship between maternal reports of child-rearing problems, family life events, and maternal depressive symptoms was studied in a birth cohort of children in New Zealand. Rates of child-rearing problems showed a steady increase with both increasing levels of family life events and maternal depressive symptoms. Log-linear modeling of the results suggested that the apparent correlation between family life events and reports of child-rearing problems was mediated by the effects of maternal depression so that women subject to large numbers of adverse life events suffered increased rates of depression and in turn reported higher rates of problem behavior in their children. There was no significant correlation between family life events and reports of child-rearing problems when the effects of maternal depressive symptoms were taken into account. The findings tend to suggest that the previously reported association between family life events and child-rearing problems arises because life events provoke depressive symptoms in women and in turn this alters the way in which they perceive or evaluate their children's behavior.
