Abstract:

In the last decades, obesity has become a real health plague in most of the developed and developing world, with serious economic and social consequences. Due to this reason, also the economists and social scientists recently focused their attention on this problem. The first chapter of this dissertation presents data that give an idea of the size of the obesity epidemics and surveys the medical, economic and social literature that deals with the causes and consequences of weight excess, both at the individual and macro level. In the second chapter, we shed new light on the intergenerational transmission of BMI and weight problems and study how the family environment, in particular parental education, influences this process. Thanks to the longitudinal structure of our data, we can follow individuals over time, from their childhood to adulthood, exploiting information about their BMI when 10, 16 and 34 years old and therefore studying the persistence of parental influence. We provide for the first time estimates of the intergenerational elasticity of BMI between both parents and their children and we find that it is extremely stable to the introduction of a large set of individual and family controls, suggesting a strong role for genetics in the transmission of weight. On the contrary, parental schooling seems to exert a minor influence on the persistence of BMI: only maternal education has a protective role, but exclusively for sons’ BMI. In the last chapter, we use again data from the BCS70 and we investigate whether obesity influences individuals’ cognitive ability when 10 years old and their literacy and numeracy skills at 34 years. In order to understand whether this relationship is causal, we employ instrumental variables, using both parents’ BMI as instruments for cohort members’ Body Mass. We perform our analysis using also dummies describing individual weight status instead of the continuous BMI variable and we exploit information about individuals’ BMI at different ages to study this issue from a dynamic point of view. Our results show that weight excess has a significant negative causal effect on both cognitive ability and basic skills.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to study several dimensions of family strengths in family systems and to determine to what degree these strengths are passed from one generation to the next . The sample consisted of 23 couples, constituting the married child generation, and each husband's father and each wife's mother, constituting the parent generation, for a total of 23 family systems and a total~ of 92 . Each person involved in the study had to be in their first marriage and have at least one child. A significant (alpha . 05) difference was found between the father and son generations on the relative and friend support and the professional support . The alpha levels for differences between mothers and daughters on these two dimensions were .146 (relative and friend support) and . 190 (professional support) . A factorial analysis of variance suggests these differences are between generations rather than between genders of family groups. Significant correlations were found between the fathers' family togetherness score and the sons' family flexibility score and between the fathers' quality of life and the sons' family confidence and family coping and coherence scores, at (r=.4876, p=.018), and (r=.4582, p=.028), respectively, and between the fathers' family discord and the sons' family discord scores at (r=.4381, p=037). Corresponding correlation values for the mothers and daughters were (r=.0367, p=.868); (r=-.2049, p=.348); (r=-.0234, p=916); and (r=.0011, p =.996). A significant correlation was found between mothers and daughters on the mothers' relative and friend support score and the daughters' family confidence score at (r=.4215, p=.045), while the corresponding coefficient for fathers and sons was (r=-.3911, p=.065). Significant correlations were found more often than were significant differences . The results also indicate that the males are more volatile than the females in terms of significant findings on the family strength measures.

Abstract:

For several decades, Turkey has witnessed increasing investments in housing. There is evidence that some households benefited from this increase. The transfer of housing assets today is also an extensive social and economic phenomenon different from the traditional processes. There are several issues related to this process the most significant being the universal concern for its contribution to wealth polarization. Supply impacts in the markets are other aspect of the same process. Since greater accumulation of housing wealth has pooled in the hands of household heads aging 50 and more, the process of housing wealth transfers will gain significance soon. No extensive study of this process has yet been made. After reviewing the factors affecting the process of wealth transfers and elaborating the institutional background of inheritance, the intergenerational property transfers in Turkey are examined with the 1994 Households Income and Consumption Expenditures Survey, The Population Census and The Death Statistics of Turkey. It is possible to develop a model to investigate the number of potential benefactors and beneficiaries and, the prospective property transferred in one year as a result of inheritance. Then, the amount of transfer taxes by Ministry of Finance could be compared with taxes realized for the same year, as one method of exploring problems of process of housing inheritance in Turkey. The results depict that in one year 30 477 individual property owners die and approximately 102 000 individuals benefit. It is concluded that property wealth is in general transferred to those who are already homeowners. It is observed that the amount to be taken by the Treasury as inheritance tax should be 13 times greater than the actual amount transferred. And finally, it is concluded that taxation system should not be the only solution for the problems in inheritance processes, but Reverse Mortgage may be a solution for transmission of wealth inequalities and for the efficient use of inherited property. It is also mentioned that inherited properties may be pilot areas for new rehabilitation projects for declining neighborhoods.

Roberts, Cullen Alexander. "Depression as a Transmission Mechanism Impacting Intergenerational Mobility." Thesis, The University of Chicago, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10809960.

Full text

Abstract:

Major depression is common, deleterious, and persistent across generations, thus making depression a crucial link between the economic fortunes of parents and children – albeit one that economists have largely neglected. A biological literature indicates that stressors causing depression in parents also cause depression in offspring through two mechanisms: parenting behaviors caused by parental depression and, potentially, epigenetic endowments. In this thesis, I explore these mechanisms and their relevance for the young adult outcomes of offspring. I utilize the Avon Longitudinal Study of Adults and Children (ALSPAC), which uniquely contains epigenetic data at birth of currently adult children. Furthermore, I develop an economic model of intergenerational mobility featuring depression as a facet of human capital, which aids interpretation of my findings and clarifies potential implications. My empirical findings indicate that parental depression, depression-associated parenting behaviors, and biological endowments play a key role in determining the young-adult outcomes of children. The child's adolescent depression mediates this relationship. Conditional on depression and other covariates, parental household income plays either a more modest role or no role, depending on the outcome variable considered. Meanwhile, child epigenetic data at birth explains twice the variance in the child's adolescent depression as does maternal depression in the subsample for which I have epigenetic data, providing suggestive evidence that biological endowments very early in life may establish a component of depression risk.

To interpret my findings, I crystalize ideas from the biological literature in a simple economic framework. I treat the mechanisms generating depression as a technology of preference formation. Stress, parenting behaviors, and direct biological endowments form affective capital, where low affective capital manifests as depression. Affective capital enters directly into the utility function to reduce disutility of effortful actions, including labor market effort and parenting effort. Thus, high affective capital both increases earnings and increases parental investment in the affective capital of children. In this way, my model resembles a Becker-Tomes/habit formation hybrid. This model highlights how investments in the child's human capital may be income inelastic. I discuss additional implications of this model.

Abstract:

This study examines the relationship between family of origin violence and dating violence. A meta-analytic approach was used to conduct a quantitative review of the relevant research literature. The results are based on data from 35 studies of dating violence. The gender of respondents, whether family of origin violence was witnessed or experienced, and whether dating violence was perpetrated or received were considered as part of the analysis. The findings suggest a weak to moderate relationship between violence in the family of origin and dating violence. Separate analysis within and between the male and female sub-samples revealed several significant differences. The findings suggest that witnessing inter-parental violence has a stronger relationship with involvement in a violent dating relationship for males, while experiencing violence as a child has a stronger relationship with involvement in a violent dating relationship for females. The findings also suggest that violence in the family of origin may have a stronger relationship with males perpetrating and females receiving violence in dating relationships.

Abstract:

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro
A empatia, definida como a habilidade de compartilhar, compreender e de expressar o entendimento dos pensamentos e sentimentos dos outros, tem sido amplamente estudada. As trajetórias de desenvolvimento, que representam os diversos caminhos que o desenvolvimento do self pode tomar, também têm sido amplamente estudadas por pesquisadores transculturais, geralmente em contextos prototípicos e envolvendo três modelos de desenvolvimento do self: autonomia, interdependência e autonomia relacionada. Estudos anteriores mostraram que os participantes do Rio de Janeiro tendem para a autonomia relacionada, equlibrando características autônomas e relacionais, que são parte do nosso ambiente sociocultural, no qual habilidades sociais, como a empatia, são requeridas. O desenvolvimento da empatia pode ser relacionado à demanda ambiental por comportamentos, de acordo com aspectos sociodemográficos e valores compartilhados. Esta tese visa apresentar dados de 106 famílias do Rio de Janeiro: pai (idade média M = 51,6 anos), mãe (idade média M = 48,3 anos) e seus filhos jovens (17-25 anos, idade média M = 20,9 anos, 67,9% mulheres). A maioria dos pais, mães e dos filhos tinham Ensino Superior incompleto ou acima. Este estudo objetivou investigar a relação entre empatia e os modelos de desenvolvimento de self e a transmissão transgeracional em contexto não prototípico. O Inventário de Empatia de Falcone e colaboradores (IE) foi utilizado para avaliar a empatia. As Escalas de Desenvolvimento do Self de Kağitçibaşi (EDS), (Self Autônomo (AutS), Self Interdependente (IntS) de Self Autônomo-Relacionado (ARS)) foram utilizadas para avaliar o modelo de desenvolvimento do self. Filhos também responderam quantas horas semanais conviviam com pais e mães. Testes t pareados mostraram, como esperado, que os escores de ARS foram os mais altos para todos os participantes. Correlações de Pearson foram feitas entre os escores de IE e EDS de ambos os pais e filhos. Os escores de ARS de pais, mães e filhos correlacionaram-se positivamente, assim como seus escores de IE. Examinando entre instrumentos, para pais e filhos, altos escores em ARS foram correlacionados a altos escores de IE. O tempo de convívio relatado entre pais e filhos correlacionou-se com IntS e IE dos pais. Para testar o modelo teórico proposto de ARS de pais e mães e dos filhos e a empatia de ambos os pais como preditores da empatia dos filhos, análises de regressão foram utilizadas. A empatia dos pais e das mães previu, separadamente, a empatia dos filhos, mas não em conjunto. Nenhum dos escores ARS dos participantes previu o IE dos filhos. Estes resultados favorecem a hipótese da prevalência de selves autônomo-relacionados no Rio de Janeiro. Pais, mães e filhos mostraram similaridades e tiveram relações importantes entre seus escores de EDS, assim como para o IE. Apesar de o modelo com todos juntos não ter sido significativo, separadamente o IE de pais e de mães predisse o IE dos filhos. Este resultado sugere que a empatia parental pode ter algum efeito sobre a dos filhos jovens, mas não o modelo parental de desenvolvimento do self, inesperadamente. De modo interessante, os pais apresentaram um papel importante no desenvolvimento de seus filhos
Empathy, defined as the ability to share, comprehend and express understanding of others thoughts and feelings, is broadly studied. Developmental trajectories, that represent the diverse pathways that self development can take, have also been widely studied by cross-cultural researchers, generally in prototypical contexts and involving three models of self development: autonomy, interdependency and autonomy-relatedness. Previous studies have shown Rio de Janeiros participants tend towards related-autonomy, balancing autonomous and relational characteristics that are part of our sociocultural environment, in which social abilities, like empathy, are required. The development of empathy can be related to environmental demand to behave, according to socio-demographic aspects and shared values. This dissertation aims to present data from 106 families from Rio de Janeiro: father (mean age M = 51.6 yrs.), mother (mean age M = 48.3 yrs.) and their grown-up children (17-25 yrs., mean age M = 20.9 yrs., 67.9% were daughters). Most fathers, mothers and adolescents had incomplete college degree or higher. This study aimed at investigating the relation between empathy and the models of self development and the transgenerational transmission in a non prototypical context. Falcone and collaborators Inventory of Empathy (IE) was used to assess empathy. Kağitçibaşis Self Development Scales (SDS), (Autonomous Self (AutS), Interdependent Self (IntS) and Autonomous-Related Self (ARS) scales) were used to assess the model of self development. Adolescents also reported how many hours a week they lived with each one of their parents. Paired sample t tests showed, as expected, that scores on ARS were the highest scale for all participants. Pearson correlations were made between parents and adolescents IE and SDS scores. Fathers, mothers and adolescents ARS scores were all positively correlated, so as their IE scores. Examining between instruments, for both fathers and adolescents, higher ARS scores were correlated with their higher IE scores. The time adolescents reported living with fathers was correlated with fathers IntS and IE scores. In order to test the proposed theoretical model of parents and adolescents ARS and parents empathy as predictors of adolescents empathy, regression analyses were used. Fathers and mothers empathy predicted separately adolescents empathy, but not together. None of the participants ARS scores predicted adolescents IE. These results favor the hypothesis of prevalence of autonomous-related selves in Rio de Janeiro. Parents and adolescents showed similarities and had important relation between their SDS scores, so as for their IE. Despite not being significant in a model with them all together, separately, each fathers and mothers IE predicted adolescents IE. This result suggests parental empathy may have some effect on adolescents empathy, but not parental self development model, unexpectedly. Interestingly, fathers have shown an important role in their grown-up childrens development

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the similarity of partisanship preferences between parents and children. It is the first study that provides an overview of all the factors that have a potential effect on family political transmission. Drawing on the traditions of political science and sociology, it examines individual, family, and context level factors. Additionally, it is the first attempt to elucidate which theoretical perspective better accounts for the observed intergenerational association of partisanship. Although this issue is frequently discussed in the political socialisation literature, academics have traditionally assumed a direct influence of parents on the partisan orientation of their children, whereas the intergenerational association of partisan preferences can also be explained from a rational choice perspective, assuming that parents have an indirect effect on children through other individual variables such as education and class. My examination of the various factors seeks to clarify to what extent these theoretical views are suited to explain this phenomenon. The analysis draws on British data from both the BHPS and the BES. In the first part of the thesis, cross- sectional multivariate regression models are carried out in order to investigate how particular individual and family level factors shape the transmission of partisanship within the family. Next, longitudinal models are applied in order to examine the endurance of parental influence on children's partisan orientation. As regards individual variables, girls seem to be more likely to reflect parental party preferences and less likely to develop a partisan orientation when compared to boys. Furthermore, respondents show a tendency to depart from parental partisan preferences as they age. Although education and class differences between parents and children are significantly related to differences in partisanship, a direct effect of individual class and education mobility on partisanship cannot be confirmed. Regarding family variables, parent's interest in politics and parents' agreement do not always enhance parent-child similarity. Children who live in lone parent households are significantly different from children who live in dual-parental households, but the size of the household has no significant effect on partisan transmission. Turning to the endurance of parental influence, voters whose parents used to maintain a clear party orientation are more likely to develop a party orientation themselves. On the other hand, the likelihood of reflecting parental orientations weakens substantially when respondents move out of the family household. Also, the longer children live together with parents, the greater the likelihood that they reflect parental partisanship. Contrary to prior expectations, there is no evidence to claim that newer generations display lower levels of parent-child similarity than older generations. However the percentage of children and parents in the sample who support the same political party has declined in the previous decades, and there seems to be some evidence to argue that this phenomenon is causally related to the dealigmnent of parents. In sum, the findings seem to favour an interpretation of family transmission in which both elements of a direct and an indirect influence of parents on children are present, and this thesis therefore provides some support to both socialisation and rational choice theoretical accounts.

Abstract:

This thesis conducts empirical analysis on the intergenerational transmission of adiposity, using various types of data from various countries; the same intergenerational transmission in China and how it varies with the family socioeconomic factors and age levels; the way in which health impinges on the decision to migrate in China. In the first empirical chapter we find that the intergenerational elasticity of adiposity is relatively constant – at 0.2 per parent, and this elasticity is comparable across time and countries. Quantile estimates suggest that this intergenerational transmission mechanism is more than double for the fattest children as it is for the thinnest children. The second empirical chapter examines the intergenerational transmission of adiposity in China: we use BMI z-score as another measure of adiposity, the longitudinal structure of CHNS data (1993-2009) allows us to control for individual fixed effects or family fixed effects and focus on changes in BMI z-score over the life cycle. We report patterns of the intergenerational relationship of BMI z-score varying by family socio-economic factors and the age of the child, the magnitude of this relationship reaches the peak over the stage between childhood and later adolescence. In the third empirical chapter, which also uses the CHNS data, we examine whether migrants are healthier than those who do not migrate in the places of origin in the context of internal migration in China. Based on the relative wage rates, costs of migration and the assumption of optimization, we set up a theoretical model and estimate the effects of health on the migration probability, we find that people self-evaluating as having “good” or “excellent” health are more likely to migrate, this health effects vary with the type of occupation, we also find evidence on the indirect health effects which operates through the education attainment.

Abstract:

The thesis examines the literary archive of the Japanese diaspora in North America and uncovers evidence of an intergenerational transmission of trauma after the internment of all peoples of Japanese descent in America during World War Two. Their experience of migration, discrimination and displacement was exacerbated by the internment, the single most influential episode in their history which had a profound effect on subsequent generations. It is argued the trauma of their experiences can be located in their writing and, drawing on the works of Freud and trauma theoreticians Cathy Caruth and Ruth Leys in particular, the thesis constructs a theoretical framework which may be applied to post-internment Japanese diasporic writing to reveal the traces of trauma in all generations, traces that are linked to what Freud referred to as a posterior moment that triggered an earlier trauma which the subject may not have experienced personally but which may be lodged in her / her psyche. An examination of the literature of the Japanese diaspora shows that trauma is carried in the language itself and impacted upon the collective psyche of the entire community. The theoretical model is used to read the tanka poetry written by the immigrant generation, a range of texts by the first American-born generation (including an in-depth analysis of four texts spanning several decades) and the texts written by the third-generation, many of whom did not experience the internment themselves so their motivation and the influence of the internment differed greatly from earlier generations. The thesis concludes with an analysis of David Mura's identification of the link between identity, sexuality and the influence of the internment experience as transmitted by his parents. The future of the Japanese American community and their relationship with their past traumatic experience also makes its way into the conclusion.

Nesta dissertação avaliamos a transmissão intergeracional de capital humano no Brasil, separando o efeito da escolaridade de mãe e pai sobre a defasagem idade-série de filhos e filhas na escola. A partir de dados das PNADs de 1988 e 1996, estimativas através do método de Mínimos Quadrados Ordinários indicam presença de fortes não-linearidades nessas relações e efeitos diferentes para meninos e meninas. Utilizando séries históricas de escolas e professores por Unidade da Federação do IBGE como fonte de identificação do efeito causal de escolaridade dos pais sobre o desempenho dos filhos, o método de Mínimos Quadrados em Dois Estágios com variáveis instrumentais aponta efeitos significantes tanto de escolaridade da mãe quanto do pai, mas não permite distingui-los adequadamente.
In this work we study the intergenerational transmission of human capital in Brazil. We evaluate the effect of both mother and father`s education, measured as years of schooling, on their children`s school performance. Using data from 1988 and 1996 PNADs we find strong non-linearities in our OLS estimates, as well as different effects on boys and girls. We then isolate pure causal effect of parent´s schooling on their offpring´s by using historical series of schools and theachers as instruments for parent´s education in our 2SLS-IV strategy. The results show strong evidence of a direct causal effect of parent´s schooling on their children´s, though our strategy is unable to separate mother´s and father´s effects properly

The paper uses data from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) 2005 to analyze intergenerational income mobility in Austria compared to other European Union members. Applying various methodological approaches like least squares estimations and quantile regressions we reveal substantial differences in intergenerational mobility between Scandinavian countries and Continental Europe. The results show that income class rigidities in most European countries are striking compared to the Nordic countries.

Abstract:

Intergenerational transmission of parenting is a well-documented phenomenon with high clinical relevance, especially for the continuity of dysfunctional processes across generations. To the extreme consequences, maltreated parents seem to be more likely to be abusive than non-maltreated ones(Widom et al., 2015). However, the mechanisms that mediate the association between childhood experience and adult parenting abilities remain unclear, influencing the effectiveness of preventive interventions (Euser et al., 2015). This thesis focuses on adults’ low-level processes connected to parenting behavior and the moderating role of attachment and early care. The aim is to inform clinical interventions of the disrupted mechanisms to target in order to break the intergenerational cycle of abuse. Moving from a traditional correlational approach, we propose different quasi-experimental designs to combine the complexity of human experience with the rigorous laboratory methodology. The first part focuses on linking implicit processes implicated in parenting behaviors to individuals’ experience. In the study presented in chapter one we found that individuals form more positive attitudes toward specific parenting styles, depending on their romantic attachment styles. This confirms a role of attachment on the transmission of parenting. Chapter two builds on the known effect that maltreated adults show augmented threat detection seeing adults’ faces. The study extends these results to infants’ face processing. These two chapters confirm the role of cognitive schemata, influenced by interpersonal experiences, in mediating the continuity of parenting. The second part describes the effects on adult brain of two children characteristics considered triggers of abuse: infant negative temperament and crying. In chapter three, we developed an fMRI paradigm to assess brain activation during the view of difficult or easy babies. Difficult babies are associated to enhanced amygdala activation, but only in participants with higher scores of maltreatment and lower emotion recognition. In line with attachment theory, dysfunctional care during childhood is not enough to produce dysregulated parenting related processes, unless it is associated to lack of reflection upon emotions. In chapter four, Transcranic Magnetic Stimulation has been used in a pilot study to show the roles of Inferior Frontal Gyrus and maltreatment in modulating the expression of physical force in response to infant crying. In both fMRI and TMS studies, we found that different brain susceptibility to infant stimuli represents a mechanism for parenting continuity. The last part aims at rejoining the empirical approaches of the first chapters within a broader literature review on the neurophysiological mechanisms of transmission of parenting. In chapter five the effects of early stress and attachment representations on parenting processes are discussed in light of the modern evolutionary framework. An original perspective on adult emotion regulation as the primary mechanism of parenting transmission is proposed. Consequences on interventions aimed at reducing risk of maltreatment are discussed.

Abstract:

Most men and women are employed in occupations largely dominated by people of their own sex. Since occupational aspirations have proven to predict future labor market behavior it is of importance to study young boys’ and girls’ occupational preferences. With the use of a survey based on Swedish 15-year-old children this study examines the association between the gender composition of parent’s occupation and the gender composition of children’s most preferred occupation. Drawing from the sex-role model that emphasizes the importance of the same-sex parents in forming children’s preferences, this study has investigated whether the gender composition of mothers’ (fathers’) occupations has an impact on the gender composition of girls’ (boys’) occupational aspirations. In line with previous research, the sex-role model received support for girls. But the observed association between fathers and sons disappear upon adding control variables. It was also hypothesized that the mothers’ generation entry into high status occupation would make children more likely to also regard their opposite sex parents as a role model. However, this hypothesis did not receive support. The result for girls can be interpreted as a sign that sex-role modeling some extent can be one reason behind the persistent sex segregation in the labor market.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of linguistic contact in Alghero, a multilingual town on the north-west coast of Sardinia characterised by the presence of three main language varieties: Italian, Catalan, and Sardinian. By looking mainly at the contact between Catalan and Italian, I aim to analyse and explain the language shift process in favour of Italian, the dominant language. Attention is focused on the family domain - and intergenerational language transmission in particular - as a clear indicator of the state of affairs of language contact in Alghero. I propose to establish what is happening (i.e., what are the dominant norms of linguistic behaviour within the family domain), and to determine which socio-psychological factors lie at the root of behavioural patterns among family members. The study is therefore both descriptive and explanatory. The description is made possible by a quantitative study, by means of which the interactions are quantified and discussed in terms of percentages of Alguerès being used between different family members. By contrast, the explanation emerges from the analysis of the reasons and motives behind the language choice in the qualitative study, and aims to answer the question ‘why do parents choose one language rather than the other(s)? Two main instruments have been used to collect the data: a self-administered questionnaire completed by eleven- to fifteen-year-old children, and a semi-structured interview conducted with a small sample of selected parents.

Abstract:

Historically speaking, many of the social skills necessary to prepare young people for their transition into adulthood occurred through informal tacit learning systems. While an observed practice, scholarly analyses of the role of narrative as an educational tool in the social practices of multigenerations of cultural sharing females is nonexisitent in academic literature. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the role of narrative in the intergenerational transmission of life learning among Jamaican females from a basket weaving community. Narrative inquiry was the research method used to capture the lived experiences of Jamaican females from a basket weaving community. The conceptual framework for this study was narrative learning (storytelling) along with an adult development life cycle model and informal adult learning theories. The sample population included females age 18 to 69 years old from a Jamaican basket weaving community. Data collection involved informal and semi-structured face-to-face interviews. Reflexivity and peer review guided the data analysis process. An interpretative content analysis included open, axial, and descriptive coding. The results of this study confirmed that intergenerational relationships still exist and flourish among Jamaican females in a basket weaving community. Findings from this study can be used to improve female mentoring relationships, implement intergenerational partnerships between individuals and community-based organizations, and contribute toward social change for disenfranchised women and girls through the expansion of nontraditional adult and Other Education programs.

Abstract:

With the outbreak of civil war in Somalia in the late eighties and early nineties, many Somali fled the country, often with young children in tow. This study used a qualitative method of individual interviews to explored the current ideology and socio-structural living situation of 8 Somali male youth 18 -23. This research focuses on exploring the social-psychological interactions between Somali refugees with forced migration experiences and their American born sons. This exploration was in service of determining trauma symptomology in the offspring of refugees with forced migration experiences. Participants completed measures of trauma-transmitted symptomology measuring, intrusion, avoidance and hyperarousal, as well as measures recording Primary Care Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, (PC-PTSD). The PC-PTSD scale is currently in use by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Participants were interviewed in English, and queried about subjects such as; initial knowledge of parents’ refugee status, knowledge of parent’s past trauma, current relationship with parents, and their views on how Somali’s refugee history might affect male Somali youth today. Data gathered from this study was analyzed using five multilayered stages according to Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The results of this study uncovered concurrent themes among the participants to include: Communication, Transformative Identities, Faith, Acculturation/Integration, and Familial Ties. The results of this study revealed that a consistent optimistic family and community narrative was able to positively influence the current and future narratives and ideology of the youth studied. These findings coincide with Bowen’s theory of self-differentiation, and positive coping methodology (Gialadi & Bell, 2012).

Abstract:

Bibliography: leaves 175-196.
This study focuses on the intergnerational transmission of Holocaust effects among South African Jewish survivors of the Nazi Holocaust and their children. Its aim is to ascertain whether common patterns exist among survivor families that could be attributed to the parents' Holocaust past. Early theoretical and empirical literature suggests that exposure to extreme trauma bas long term damaging consequences on the personality, functioning of survivors, and on their parenting of their children. However, Holocaust survivors are also immigrants. It is possible that immigration to Southern or Central Africa produced stresses which could also have influenced coping and parenting. In order to address this issue, a comparison group of Jewish immigrants who were not survivors, was also studied. The survivor group consisted of 21 survivors and 11 adult children. The immigrant sample comprised 14 subjects, with 10 children. The implications of resettlement for survivors was also accounted for in this study as part of the process of recognizing that survivors too experienced immigration. Patterns of adaption and acculturation of survivors in general were compared to immigrants it! general. Therefore, the sample also included childless survivors and immigrants. Indepth interviews were conducted with all subjects. Findings were based on the reports of the respective subjects regarding their perceptions of their own and their family functioning. No clear differences were found between the survivor and immigrant samples. Considerable within-group variation was present in both groups. Limited intergenerational transmission of generalized patterns of negative psychological effects were found in survivor families. Children of survivors appear to focus on the resourcefulness and strength displayed by their survivor parent. They similarly exhibit resilient and coping behaviour which seems to be based on the presence of these qualities in their parents.

Abstract:

Fifteen women and five men participated in a study aimed at devising strategies to reduce the use of physical punishment in New Zealand. The potential problems with the use of physical punishment, the extent of its use in New Zealand, and the likelihood of intergenerational transmission are discussed to justify the aim of the study. The participants were all parents who had been smacked themselves, but who had decided not to smack their own children. Their ages ranged from 28 to 57, and only three had less than some tertiary education. They were from various ethnic backgrounds; fourteen had an occupation other than parenting, and nine were single parents. The participants had broken the intergenerational cycle of physical punishment: they had been smacked themselves but did not smack their own children. All participated in an individual, semi-structured interview, in which their childhood physical punishment, their decision not to smack, the maintenance of that decision, and their use of alternative disciplinary techniques were discussed. Four participated in a focus group, in which the strategies suggested in the interviews were discussed and refined to produce a final list of recommendations. The parents made a conscious decision against smacking, which involved a particular experience that prompted them to consider their disciplinary practices. Negative views of smacking (ineffective, modelling violence, and potential to escalate) were also helpful in making the decision. While maintaining their decision was usually easy, alternative techniques were sometimes hard to use, though effective in the long term. Some had to deal with the effects of deviating from a childrearing norm, particularly in regard to other family members. While many were satisfied that their own children were free from physical punishment, some had actively tried to convince other parents not to use it as well. They recommended strategies aimed at achieving the goals of parent education, raising awareness, reducing strain, and increasing support for parents. They also suggested practical steps that individual parents who were interested in breaking the cycle of physical punishment could take. The limitations and strengths of the study are discussed, as well as the implications for further research. The study demonstrates that parenting without physical punishment is effective, desirable, and achievable, even by parents who were smacked themselves. It presents a number of possible strategies and intermediate goals, for interventions at a national, community, or individual level, which aim to reduce the use of physical punishment.

Resumo: O que os jovens julgam como bom trabalho ou mau trabalho, trabalho desejável ou trabalho indesejável? Como constroem esses julgamentos? Esta pesquisa documentou as percepções de um grupo de jovens oriundos de grupos populares e estudou o processo de socialização a que estavam submetidos para tentar responder a essas perguntas. Para tanto, foram realizadas duas rodadas de entrevistas com nove jovens e seus pais quando esses tinham idade entre doze e quatorze anos. Os resultados mostram que os julgamentos são construídos em relação com a história da família, especialmente com a história de trabalho dos adultos mais próximos, e com as percepções dominantes no círculo de amizades formado principalmente no próprio bairro onde moram. A pesquisa mostrou também que essas percepções estão fortemente relacionadas com os investimentos realizados na escola e com a decisão de adiantar ou atrasar a entrada no mercado de trabalho

Two rounds of interviews were done with young and their parents when the teenagers were twelve and fourteen. The results shows that the judgments of the young are build based on family history, especially on labor history of closest adults, and on dominant perceptions inside the friendship circle formed by other teenagers in their neighborhood. This research shows also that these perceptions are closely related with school investments and with decision of postpone or advance the entry in the job marked

Abstract:

My PhD work aimed to assess intergenerational transmission and life-course change of attitudes towards authority. Intergenerational transmission is hypothesised as the mechanism through which parents' authoritarian attitudes affect their children's attitudes towards authority in adulthood. In the assessment of this transmission mechanism, this analysis accounts for individual-level theoretically relevant factors such as gender, education, social class, offspring's cognitive ability in childhood, as well as family background, in a longitudinal, single-cohort perspective. The research used the British Cohort Study 1970 (BCS70), which allows for the analysis of change at both the intra- and inter-individual levels. The sweeps analysed are those in years 1975 for the parents, and 1980, 1996, 2000 and 2012 for the cohort members. The analytical chapters of the thesis are made of three papers: The first assessed change (or stability) in attitudes to authority in the BCS70 from 1996 to 2012; the second looked at how parental authoritarian worldviews affect their children's attitudes towards authority when the children are adults; finally, the third paper aimed to evaluate the effect of parental attitudes on cohort members' attitudes towards authority in adulthood, after controlling for the latter's cognitive ability in childhood. I found that attitudes had a reasonably high level of stability across the life course. Despite moderately strong correlations across attitudes within waves, the different attitudes showed different patterns of longitudinal evolution, suggesting different causal influences. The evidence for direct transmission of attitudes from parents to children was surprisingly weak; the social statuses of the parents and cohort members, and especially the members' childhood cognitive ability, were the strongest predictors of authoritarian attitudes in adulthood.

Full text

Abstract:

This study focuses on intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic resources in multiple dimensions and decomposes the influence of parents’ education, social class, and income in relation to the same outcomes for children as well as the unique impact of mothers and fathers on sons and daughters. In order to minimize measurement error in parental characteristics and life course bias for children, high quality Swedish administrative register data (spanning over 40 years) is utilized. A sibling correlation approach is employed to establish the net influence of each parental resource, both in general and by parents’ and children’s gender. The results show that intergenerational inequality is subject to resource specificity. First, same resource transmission implies that the same parental resource as the child outcome matter most in transmission of advantage. In this sense, educational elites foster educational elites, while economic advantage favor children’s own economic status. Second, the intermediate and overlapping socioeconomic field resource, parental social class, explains most of children´s outcomes in education and income suggesting that there is a same field transmission. Parental resources explain little variation in its field opposite (i.e. parental education on child income and parental income on child education). Finally, whether or not intergenerational inequality is subject to gender specificity is ambiguous, it ranges from negligible to substantial contributions. Mothers’ and fathers’ resources do matter independently over all outcomes, where especially fathers’ income dominate and drives the total influence of parental income. However, the result for the same gender transmission is mixed. The conclusion is that gender and, especially, resource specificity cannot be neglected without biasing results, confusing time trends, and underestimating the true rate of intergenerational inequality. Intergenerational processes of inequality will be misrepresented in a unidimensional conceptualization of socioeconomic transmission, which will also affect both theoretical understanding and the prospects of policy intervention.

Abstract:

Over the last decades, fathers are getting involved in their children’s lives. The “New Fathers” are not expected to act as breadwinners but also to engage in their family life and take a similar responsibility than their partners in the care of their children. However, we know surprisingly little about how the new role of fathers in childcare varied during the last decades and how it affects children’s life chances. This dissertation aims to analyse how fathers’ involvement evolved during the Great Recession and how this involvement shapes children’s cognitive and non-cognitive development. To respond to these questions, the Spanish Time Use Surveys and the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children are analysed. Overall, the results of this thesis show that fathers increased their involvement during the economic crisis and that involvement plays a relevant role in child development. Specially, when fathers engage in educational activities with their children and they display a warm but “consistent”parenting.
En las últimas décadas los padres se están implicando cada vez máscen el cuidado de sus hijos. De los “Nuevos Padres” no solo se espera que actúen como ganadores del pan sino también que se involucren en la vida familiar y establezcan vínculos, estrechos y emocionales, con sus hijos. Sin embargo, se sabe muy poco sobre cómo este nuevo rol de los padres está cambiando en las últimas décadas y cómo éste afecta al desarrollo de sus hijos. Esta disertación tiene como objetivo el análisis de cómo la implicación paterna en el cuidado de los hijos evolucionó durante la Gran Recesión, y cómo dicha implicación impacta en el desarrollo cognitivo y no cognitivo de los hijos. Para contestar estas cuestiones se han analizado los datos procedentes de las Encuestas de Empleo del Tiempo y el Estudio Longitudinal de Niños Australianos. Los resultados de esta tesis muestran que, durante la crisis económica, los padres aumentaron su implicación en el cuidado, y que dicha implicación juega un papel relevante en el desarrollo de los hijos. Especialmente, cuando los padres pasan tiempo con sus hijos en actividades de tipo educativo y su implicación tiene un cariz “consistente”.
