Depth Interviews

Transgender youth are more likely than cisgender youth to report health risks related to violence victimization, substance use, mental health, and sexual health. Parental support may help foster resilience and better health outcomes among this population. However, limited research has characterized parental support among transgender youth. To address this gap, we conducted a thematic analysis of 33 in-depth interviews with transgender youth. We coded interviews using the dimensions of the social support framework (i.e., emotional, instrumental, appraisal, and informational) as well as inductive codes to identify emergent themes. Almost all participants described some form of general parental support (e.g., expressions of love, housing, advice, and affirmation). Parental support specific to gender identity was also noted (e.g., emotional support for coming out as transgender and chosen name and pronoun use) but was more limited. Parents may benefit from resources and programming to promote acceptance and gender-affirming behaviors.

SummaryThe study investigates determinants of self-reported Fair Trade (FT) consumption in Germany. Narrow conceptions of social action according to which economic constraints are decisive are complemented with theoretical considerations that point to the social function of ethical consumption. The effects of income, social status, attitudes, and personal values are analyzed. For the empirical analyses, cross-sectional data from the biennial general population survey, “Environmental Awareness in Germany”, are used. The results based on six consecutive surveys from 2000 to 2010, suggest that the resource dependence of FT consumption cannot be ignored, for income has proved to be a relevant determinant in almost all multivariate models. However, the findings also lead to the conclusion that social status, the FT specific attitude, general environmental concerns as well as solidarity and religiousness are important determinants. The study points to FT consumption as a form of middle- and upper-class distinction.

Given that friends serve as one of the most important sources of emotional support during stress, the current study examines whether connecting electronically with friends can help alleviate loneliness and emotional distress during the social isolation mandates of the COVID-19 pandemic. Relying on a cross-sectional electronic survey conducted with a sample of 18–70-year-old adults (n = 295), information about the frequency of and satisfaction with electronic friend contact methods were obtained. Participants of all ages reported greater than typical reliance on, and satisfaction with, video calls during the imposed isolation, although they (especially the younger generations) used texting and connecting via social media the most. More frequent overall use of communication technologies was associated with greater anxiety but unrelated to loneliness and depression. In contrast, greater overall satisfaction with electronic contact with friends was associated with lower levels of loneliness, anxiety and depressive symptoms, as hypothesized. Satisfaction was most protective among those living alone. The findings highlight the potential psychological benefits of connecting electronically with close others and suggest that connecting with friends offers a way to cope with imposed isolation as long as individuals are satisfied with their exchanges.

Method: this is a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study, with 78 puerperal women, when using a questionnaire for sociodemographic and obstetric characterization, analyzed by descriptive statistics and association tests, using the Chi-square test, adopting significance level of 95%. Results: there was a mean age of 28.4 years, highlighting that 98.7% of those surveyed performed prenatal care, 73.1% received some professional guidance in the hospital and 93.6% had the presence of a companion. It is registered, on the scale, that 62.8% of women showed excellent well-being. It is reported that domains III and V were the best evaluated and domain IV, the worst.
