Abstract:

This paper analytically compares Morrison’s A Mercy (2008) to Albeshr’s Hend and the Soldiers (2006) to explore the maternal position in Western and Middle Eastern literatures and give the silent mothers voice. These novels depict rudimentary social systems predicated on deep inequalities of class and gender; they highlight the commonality of mothers’ experiences regardless of their class, race, or nationality. In A Mercy, the black mother discards her daughter to protect her from a malevolent master, while in Hend and the Soldiers, the uneducated Arab mother arranges her daughter’s marriage to free her from the domination of the patriarchal society. The daughters consider their mothers as toxic parents and relate all evil in their lives to them. These novels are narrated mainly from a daughter point of view, and they share the themes of the disintegrated mother-daughter relationship and search for identity. This type of narration foregrounds the daughterly perspectives and subordinates the maternal voice (Hirsch, 1989, p. 163). Applying the elements presented in Marianne Hirsch’s Mother/Daughter Plot facilitates the deconstruction of the idea of silent toxic mothers and gives mothers the opportunity to speak for themselves. According to Hirsch, when daughters become mature enough to accept their problems and failures, they become not only real women but also part of their mothers’ stories by listening carefully. Thus, I argue that mothers’ voices are heard when their subjectivity is explored through their stories narrated in their daughters’ memories, in the mothers’ self-vindication, and by surrogate mothers.

Abstract:

Although studies have identified the importance of the mother–daughter relationship and of familism in Mexican culture, there is little in the literature about the mother–daughter experience after daughters have migrated to the United States. This study explores relationships between three daughters in America and their mothers in Mexico, and describes ways in which interdependence between mothers and daughters can be maintained when they are separated by borders and distance. Data collection included prolonged engagement with participants, field notes, and tape-recorded interviews. Narrative analysis techniques were used. Findings suggest mother–daughter interdependence remains. Some aspects may change, but the mother–daughter connection continues to influence lives and provide emotional and, to a lesser extent, material support in their lives.

Abstract:

In this essay, I will explore the literature and poetry of the South-Asian diaspora, arguing that an effective balance of tradition and agency for South Asian Canadian women is predicated on the existence of models of mothering that demonstrate choice for daughters, are communal, and create a mobilizable community for both mothers and their children. In a collection of poems by Rupi Kaur, mothering is explored in several forms, many of which succumb to damaging colonial tropes. Most promising of these models, however, are those that showcase a mother’s continued battle for potential freedom and the ways in which she demonstrates possibility for her daughter. This model is further constructed in Anita Badami’s work as mothers begin to socialize and organize in ways that propel those they mother as active agents and build communities. In the highest stage of this model, Farzana Doctor develops a model to engage in communal mothering more widely as it spurs a social movement and allows for the reclamation of individual agency. The women’s imperfect but rousing efforts to provide agency for their daughters as they navigate the challenges of being female members of the diaspora are central to each piece of literature and define the experiences of South Asian-Canadian mothers, daughters, and communities.

Abstract:

This study contributes to the literature on work and family socialization by examining the nature of daughter–parent (i.e., mothers vs. fathers) communication and daughters’ likelihood to transmit parents’ memorable messages regarding work and family. Results indicated that (a) daughters’ report of mothers’ and fathers’ respectful accommodation and self-disclosure positively predicts daughters’ relational satisfaction with the target parent and (b) daughters’ relational satisfaction with their parent positively relates to daughters’ likelihood to transmit their parent’s memorable messages about work or family. However, results held true for both fathers and mothers, with no support for the hypothesis that daughters would be more likely to transmit mothers’ messages more than fathers’ messages. The authors discuss practical implications, directions for future research, and limitations of the study.

Abstract:

The literature on daughter successors of family-owned businesses suggests that they face many challenges. The purpose of this article is to determine the extent to which daughters face these challenges and discover new areas for study. Qualitative data were gathered via interviews with 10 female family business owners. Respondents encountered employee rivalry, experienced work-life balance difficulties, and never assumed they would one day be the successor. Although participants reported few problems with their fathers upon succession, many experienced difficulties succeeding their mothers. An interesting finding was the daughter's likelihood of being compared with her mother's managerial style. Future research directions are offered.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT This article answers questions about how patriarchy resists all the social and cultural changes during postmodernism and how it reinforces the distorted image of the mother in her relationship with her daughter. The questions’ answers will be critically investigated in relation to two postmodernist stories, Alice Munro’s “Boys and Girls” ([1964] 1968) and Jamaica Kincaid’s “Girl” ([1978] 2003). According to the findings, patriarchal hegemony over the relationship between mother and daughter is not limited to traditional societies; it is universal and can even be traced in postmodernist Western literature. The patriarchal motherhood that puts daughters in a frame to meet society’s expectations, that raises daughters as copies of their mothers, that prepares daughters to marry and be good housewives, and that neglects daughters’ needs and deprives them of a model to identify with are all explored in this article. The role of women, among many others, is to lead, to create changes, to educate, and to prepare generations for a better future. Women should reject considering housekeeping as an area of competition and should pass this on to their daughters. They must realize their own individual identity and evaluate themselves away from their forced traditional role.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT: This paper examines filial piety, mother-daughter bonding, and romantic love in the short stories of Feng Yuanjun (1900–1974). I argue that filial piety and mother-daughter bonding are not always harmonious but rather are constructed antithetically, demonstrating the complexity of female kinship in Chinese women’s literature. Furthermore, maternal love is depicted as permanent and transcendent while romantic love is transient and happenstance. Mothers in Feng’s works are the moral force of the entire family and a source of love and support for their daughters, challenging the prevailing conception that Chinese mothers are merely agents of Confucian patriarchy. Overall, I assert that Feng Yuanjun’s works complement, revise, and undermine the male-centered anti-filial piety and anti-family discourse of the May Fourth movement, departing from the individualistic free love model.

Abstract:

This investigation evaluated a theoretically specified model of associations among mothers’ history of child sexual abuse (CSA), a helpless state of mind (SOM) with regard to the mother–child relationship, and increased behavior problems in the next generation. Moreover, we evaluated the moderating influence of child gender on predicted relations between mothers’ CSA severity and helpless SOM (i.e., moderated mediation). Participants were 225 biological mother–preschooler dyads (48% female; 46.4% Latinx) drawn from an ongoing, longitudinal study of representation and regulation in child development. Mothers’ history of CSA was assessed when their children were 4 years old and emerged as a prominent risk factor in this diverse, high-risk community sample with 40% of mothers reporting contact-based sexual abuse prior to age 18. Mediation analyses revealed a significant indirect pathway from a continuous rating of mothers’ CSA severity to increased externalizing behavior problems from ages 4 to 8 in the next generation via mothers’ helpless SOM at age 6. Further, this indirect path was significant for mother–daughter dyads, but not for mother–son dyads. This investigation contributes to the neophyte literature on intergenerational CSA effects by revealing the impact of a mother’s CSA history on her SOM regarding the mother–child relationship, particularly when parenting daughters. Clinical interventions that enhance survivors’ awareness of and reflection on their SOM regarding the parent–child relationship may attenuate intergenerational CSA effects on child adaptation.

Abstract:

African American (AA) girls and women having disproportionately higher rates of obesity than their racial/ethnic counterparts. There is an urgent need to address overweight and obesity in AA girls through preventive interventions that enhance lifestyle physical activity (PA) and improve dietary behaviors in middle adolescence. Middle adolescence represents a unique and important opportunity to strengthen the daughter/mother bond and improve healthy behaviors such as PA and dietary intake. Because of the developmental and cultural complexities of adolescence, it is essential to include mothers, however, this approach is understudied in the literature. This pre-pilot study--- Black Girls Move was conducted using a 12-week pre-post within-subjects design to assess a) feasibility of conducting the study b) feasibility of delivering the intervention and c) program satisfaction by AA 9th and 10th grade daughters and their mothers. Twenty-two dyads were recruited, 14 dyads completed baseline assessments, however, only eight daughters and their mothers attended the first session and were retained for the entire study. All dyads had valid objective and self-reported PA data, however, two of eight daughters and one mother provided self-reported dietary data that were considered invalid. All individual sessions were rated highly. Excellent attendance, retention, and satisfaction among participants suggest that we succeeded in conveying the importance of healthy PA and dietary behavior change. This lifestyle intervention would be strengthened by modifications to recruitment and retention as well as incorporation of a computerized dietary assessment tool, a tailored dietary app for self-monitoring, and increased photo-based and group homework activities.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the intergenerational influence across dyads of mothers and daughters from the USA and the People’s Republic of China (PRC), with a particular interest in discovering the cross-national differences in terms of the level of mother–daughter brand preference agreement, the directional influence from daughter to mother and leading factors for the observed differences. Design/methodology/approach Using a parallel survey method, responses were obtained regarding participants’ brand preferences, as well as their perceptions of their dyad partners’ preferences, for 20 product categories. A total of 76 dyads in the USA and 114 dyads in the PRC were collected. Findings Results not only confirmed the existence of intergenerational influence in mother–daughter dyads’ brand preferences after removing the nominal bias that previous studies commonly suffered but also suggested two interesting cross-national differences. Specifically, the authors find that US mother–daughter dyads possess a higher level of brand preference agreement than their PRC counterparts; however, the influence from daughters to mothers in the PRC is greater than in the USA. The authors further find that two potential leading factors contribute to the observed cross-national differences; mother–daughter communication is stronger but less influential in the USA than in the PRC, while children’s peer influence, measured as information influence of peers, is weaker but more influential in the USA than in the PRC. Research limitations/implications Understanding intergeneration influences in different cultural contexts may be applicable in developing communication strategies leading to brand preference. Originality/value This study contributes to the consumer socialization literature by examining the cross-national differences of intergenerational influence in brand preferences and their leading causes of such differences in the context of the two biggest economies.

Abstract:

The article reveals the features and nature of artistic design in Kazakh literature. In the scientific article, proved by concrete examples of the features of describing the image of a mother, raising a daughter in Kazakh Proverbs, it was formulated that such qualities as selflessness, courage, arrogance, foresight and wisdom have been the basis of legendary stories, heroic songs, songs in the mouth of the country for centuries. In connection with the wise philosophical principle "forty years of a girl", our ancestors paid special attention to the education of girls. In order to meet the" Kyz osse Eldin korkimi", he was instilled morality, decency, hard work, beauty. As they say "Kyz zhattyk", our ancestors, who studied life, wanted the upbringing of their daughters in a foreign country to be individualized by what I saw. The main problem facing our modern national literature is the images of women-mothers who have taken as a basis the upbringing of the nation, prosperity, and family well-being, and not the negative character traits found in women-mothers. The scientific article provides examples of works about Kazakh heroes who performed equestrian feats together with men for the freedom of their country and showed unwavering selflessness.

Abstract:

This article explores ideals and experiences of the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship using semistructured interviews with 46 members of 22 families living in one Indian village. Ideally, the relationship is characterized by love and understanding, where one’s mother-in-law or daughter-in-law is like one’s own daughter or mother. In practice, the relationship varies in quality. Some women experienced affectionate, high-quality relationships, whereas others’ relationships were characterized by hurtful exchanges and not speaking. Previous literature portrays the relationship as negative, but these results point to the relevance of positive aspects as well. I also suggest that these ideals and experiences are shaped by the joint family system. The joint family system contributes to the strongly positive ideal, whereas the tensions that women experience arise from the contradictory family locations that they occupy within that system. Daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law are simultaneously strangers and close family members.

Abstract:

The issue of womens oppression is an actual issue which provokes endless discussion. This issue is the domain of feminists struggle until now. There are many theories of feminism in literature. This article employs psychoanalytic feminism approach to examine the relation between womens oppression and women's psyche to finally reveal that a mother (Mama) is involved in preserving the power of patriarchy in the family through her typical treatments toward her daughters (Uma and Aruna). Three conclusions can be drawn. Firstly, Mama is depicted as a narrow-minded, insecure, and status-oriented woman. Uma is an alienated, inferior and curious daughter. Aruna is a superior, status-oriented, and beauty-addicted daughter. Secondly, Mamas treatment reflects patriarchal values. She prioritizes her son to get nutritious food and qualified education. Mama burdens her daughters with great responsibilities to take care of the house, gives them less freedom for selfexpression, and teaches them that womens self-worth is determined by their physical attractiveness. Thirdly, there are two factors underlying Mamas involvement in preserving the power of patriarchy. The first factor is the influence of her mother who made distinctive treatments based on gender toward her children. The second factor is the influence of tradition that addresses child-rearing responsibilities to mothers. Fathers only set the rules, they do not participate in this duty. Mama passes this role down to her daughters. As a result, she is involved in preserving patriarchal power. Keywords: patriarchal power, psychoalanytic feminism, Anita Desai

Abstract:

Abstract Providing care to an aging parent is a normative expectation within most modern societies. Research steadily demonstrates that around two-thirds of caregivers are women, and over one-third of dementia caregivers are adult daughters. Often there is an assumption of natural attachment between mother and daughter—unconditional loyalty and permanent availability. However, overlooked in the literature is the notion that some adult daughters struggle with caregiving decisions regarding a parent with whom they have been maltreated. To date, little research has focused on dementia caregiving dynamics within strained mother-daughter dyads. To address this knowledge gap, data were drawn from the Aging at Home Alone with Alzheimer’s Disease study, an interview-based protocol with a purported sample of 120 community dwelling persons with dementia and their study partner. Thematic analyses were conducted on the subsample of daughters and their mothers with dementia (n=10) who reported a history of maltreatment (e.g., childhood neglect, childhood abuse). Thematic analyses were conducted on all case material for the subsample (e.g., interview data, case notes). Findings indicate four overarching themes: 1. Begrudging caregiving, 2. Fragmentary support, 3. Resurfacing childhood trauma, and 4. Post-traumatic growth and forgiveness. These themes stress the importance of how childhood maltreatment can shape emotional bonds early in life and affect dementia caregiving trajectories. Findings will be discussed in relation to support recommendations for caregiving dyads with a history of parental maltreatment.

Abstract:

The article considers the way of formation of the concept of comparative literature today as associated with crossing borders, rejecting binary oppositions, striving for openness, expanding and breaking the canon. Amy Tan, a Chinese descent writer, is one of the new American literature writers whose novels convey the consequences of inclusion in the literary canon and the complex cultural hybridity of the dioecious author, who is not "white," is and is a woman. The game of mahjong (the meanings of which are sparrows or a flock of sparrows) is not only their way of having fun but also their way to challenge destiny, to reshuffle and rearrange the "tiles," or the "hand" life has given them in a patriarchal preordered world; to connect the similar signs and to change what was written just as the game itself changes according to their moves. Although different from one another, the four „sparrows” are strong enough and smart enough to stand tall against misery and create a new life both for themselves and their daughters. Precisely why the hope for passing the baton to the next generation, the care, and the joy are at the core of the novel's main messages. This hope is realized through the mother-daughter relationship, which occupies a central place in the story, pushing away all other relationships (mothers-sons, fathers-daughters, and husband-wife), and the emotional center of the described world: eight separate yet interconnected lives. This novel is a parable about how mothers, through their memory, history, imagination, remain inside their daughters, how human experience, pain, and hope are transmitted, and in this way, the parable has universal characteristics.

Abstract STUDY QUESTION Do maternal hypertensive disorders affect pubertal development in daughters and sons? SUMMARY ANSWER Pubertal development tended to occur earlier in daughters of mothers with ‘preeclampsia, eclampsia or HELLP syndrome’ (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low blood platelets) or hypertension in pregnancy compared to daughters born of normotensive mothers. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY The existing literature suggests some or no association between preeclampsia and pubertal development in daughters, but not in sons. None of the previous studies has investigated the possible association between other types of hypertensive disorders (hypertension, eclampsia or HELLP syndrome) and pubertal timing in children. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION Longitudinal cohort study consisting of 15 819 mother–child pairs with information on maternal hypertensive disorders collected during pregnancy and information on pubertal development collected half-yearly from the age of 11 years and until fully developed or 18 years of age. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Participants are children from the Puberty Cohort nested within the Danish National Birth Cohort. The exposure was register-based and self-reported information on maternal hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. The outcomes were children’s self-reported information on pubertal development, including Tanner stage 1–5 (pubic hair (both daughters and sons) and breast development (daughters) or genital development (sons)), first menstrual bleeding (daughters) or first ejaculation (sons), voice break episode (sons), axillary hair development and acne occurrence (both daughters and sons). The main outcome was mean difference in age at attaining each pubertal milestone and a combined pubertal marker in children of mothers with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (either hypertension (n = 490), ‘preeclampsia, eclampsia or HELLP syndrome’ (n = 419) or ‘unspecific hypertensive disorders’ (n = 334) with unexposed children as reference (n = 14 576)). MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE In daughters of mothers with ‘preeclampsia, eclampsia or HELLP syndrome’, we observed tendencies of earlier pubertal timing (combined marker: −2.0 (95% CI: −3.9; 0.0) months). In daughters of mothers with hypertension, several pubertal milestones tended to occur earlier than in daughters of normotensive mothers; however, all 95% CIs overlapped the null resulting in a combined pubertal marker of −1.0 (95% CI: −3.2; 1.1) months. In sons of mothers with any of the hypertensive disorders, we observed no difference in pubertal timing (combined markers: ‘preeclampsia, eclampsia or HELLP syndrome’: 0.1 (95% CI: −2.0; 2.1) months; hypertension: −0.6 (95% CI: −2.3; 1.1) months; ‘unspecific hypertensive disorders’: 0.2 (95% CI: −1.9; 2.2) months). LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The study is subject to non-differential misclassification of self-reported information on maternal hypertensive disorders in pregnancy and current pubertal status; possibly causing bias toward the null. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy might accelerate pubertal timing in daughters; however, more studies are needed for causal conclusions. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S) The study was funded by the Faculty of Health at Aarhus University. The authors have no financial relationships or competing interests to disclose.

Abstract:

This article adopts a microanalytic approach to examine storytelling as a co-construction by family members in a Cypriot-Australian family. Previous studies on family storytelling have focused on the various roles of family members in storytelling with a means of studying family socialization (Miller et al., 1990; Ochs & Taylor, 1992; Blum-Kulka, 1997). These studies used critical discourse analysis, sociocultural theories, performance and pragmatic approaches to storytelling. This article offers a distinctive approach to family storytelling by examining the discourse and social identities that family members display during the storytelling. The data originate in a study that involves interviews with three generations of Greek-Australian and Cypriot-Australian women regarding their relationships with each other. In this paper we investigate the contributions of the father and the daughters in the course of the mother’s turn at storytelling. The first part of the analysis focuses on the husband’s discourse identities as a contributor, initiator and elicitor of his wife’s storytelling. During the storytelling we also observe the production and exchange of different social identities between the husband and the mother, such as the ‘unwilling suitor’, the ‘embarrassed schoolgirl’ or the ‘forceful but teasing husband’. The second part describes how the daughters take part in their mother’s storytelling, producing a variety of identities such as the ‘impatient mother’, the ‘complaining’, ‘happy’, or ‘good’ mothers and daughters. These investigations succinctly illustrate how narratives become a resource for members’ ‘display’ and ‘play’ of identities.

The role of motherhood as imposed on women and how it influences their relationship with their children, especially daughters. The expectations of society for a woman to be a good mother can harm the relationship between mother and daughter. How a daughter constructs her identity in terms of her relationship with her mother. It often involves a mixture of love, closeness, conflict, and tension. This paper will discuss the mother-daughter relationship portrayed in the works of Indian women writers.

This study discusses the role that is carried out and which is carried out in the process of delivering the education section of their daughters. Using the AGIL theory (adaptation, goal achievement, integration, maintenance of latent patterns) put forward by Talcott Parsons, with four important basic elements that must be discussed in full and become a unity. The process is then processed. Data analysis techniques by collecting data, reducing data, presenting data and gathering conclusions.</p><p>The results of this study indicate that there is a difference between the role of mothers who play a role and the role of mothers who are involved in the delivery of sexy education to girls in the Village Gandekan, Jebres District, Surakarta City. The ability of adaptation (Adaptation) by the mother regarding the development of the pattern of child relationships in the midst of technological development can be agreed to be adequate, the goal of achieving damage to the child's future. The way mothers provide sex education (integration) to children is done through advice, messages and rules or restrictions given to children. The mother's ability to support patterns (Latency) through implanting values is hardly adequate. This is evident from the fact that there are still many children who refute the advice given by the mother.</p>

Abstract:

Despite the abundance of marketing literature on consumer complaint behavior, little research has been conducted to explicate such behavior from a generational perspective. I therefore investigated the complaint behavior of 2 generations in Pakistan, namely, mothers and daughters. I used a qualitative interview approach with 5 pairs of dyads. All interviews were transcribed and content analysis was performed. Findings showed that the mothers would most likely seek redress in person, would complain to others verbally, or would take no action. The daughters tended to seek redress in person and to tell others about the problem using electronic media. There was similarity between mothers and daughters in seeking redress and showing anger. The study thus serves as a precursor to future investigation of complaint behavior by different generation cohorts in the same family and of the potential transmission of behavioral values.

Abstract:

In many societies, girls are more often killed by their parents than boys. However, not much of this is known in contemporary societies. This study had two main objectives. The first was to assess whether the number of boy and girl victims of maternal filicide differ in the literature from 1959 to 2000. Using two scientific databases, Medline and PsycINFO, 20 texts were pertinent. The second objective was to identify the variables that differentiate the mothers who killed a son and those who killed a daughter in a sample of 42 women from the province of Québec (Canada). Analysis of the data for the first part indicate that the numbers of sons and daughters killed by their mothers are similar in the literature. For the second aim no significant differences were noted between the women who killed a son and those who killed a daughter for 30 variables studied, e.g., motivation, method of killing, age of the victims, etc.

Abstract:

Despite the abundance of marketing literature on consumer complaint behaviour, little is done to explicate such behaviour from generational perspectives. How the older and younger groups complain, and whether the latter learn or inherit behavioural values from the former remain unknown. Using theories pertinent to complaint behaviour and social learning theory as the basis, the present study aims to look into complaint behaviour between two generations, namely the mothers and the daughters. A qualitative approach using dyad interview was employed in Malaysia to gain insights not only about their respective complaint behaviour but also its similarities and differences simultaneously. Subsequently, five pairs of mothers and daughters were interviewed. All interviews were transcribed and analyzed using content analysis. The findings show that while the mothers would most likely seek redress in person, complain to others verbally and take no action, the daughters tend to seek redress and tell others about it using electronic media. There is apparent similarity in seeking redress and ranting on between the mothers and daughters but the younger generation tends to do it via social media. The study thus serves as a precursor to future investigation on complaint behaviour by different generation cohorts in the same family and the potential transmission of behavioural values between them. Practical implications are provided.

Abstract:

AbstractMaternal grandmothers play a key role in allomaternal care, directly caring for and provisioning their grandchildren as well as helping their daughters with household chores and productive labor. Previous studies have investigated these contributions across a broad time period, from infancy through toddlerhood. Here, we extend and refine the grandmothering literature to investigate the perinatal period as a critical window for grandmaternal contributions. We propose that mother-daughter co-residence during this period affords targeted grandmaternal effort during a period of heightened vulnerability and appreciable impact. We conducted two focus groups and 37 semi-structured interviews with Himba women. Interviews focused on experiences from their first and, if applicable, their most recent birth and included information on social support, domains of teaching and learning, and infant feeding practices. Our qualitative findings reveal three domains in which grandmothers contribute: learning to mother, breastfeeding support, and postnatal health and well-being. We show that informational, emotional, and instrumental support provided to new mothers and their neonates during the perinatal period can aid in the establishment of the mother-infant bond, buffer maternal energy balance, and improve nutritional outcomes for infants. These findings demonstrate that the role of grandmother can be crucial, even when alloparenting is common and breastfeeding is frequent and highly visible. Situated within the broader anthropological and clinical literature, these findings substantiate the claim that humans have evolved in an adaptive sociocultural perinatal complex in which grandmothers provide significant contributions to the health and well-being of their reproductive-age daughters and grandchildren.

Abstract:

This was an exploratory study assessing how parents talk about salient child experiences, namely injuries serious enough to require hospital ER treatment. Preschool-aged (2–5 years) and school-aged (8–13 years) children were recruited from a hospital ER, and their parents were interviewed a few days later about their children's experience. The free recall portion of interviews are assessed here. Narratives of mothers and fathers differed little, but both parents were more elaborative, i.e., more descriptive and informative, when they talked about the injury of their daughters vs. their sons. Narratives about daughters were also more cohesive and included more context-setting information, i.e., orientation to where and when events occurred. Narratives about older children were also longer, more elaborative, more cohesive, and more contextually embedded than were those about younger children. Although the amount of explicit emotion descriptors did not differ, fathers tended to emphasize the absence of an emotional reaction by their sons, but not their daughters. Results were discussed in terms of concordance with gender stereotypes that describe males as tough and females as fragile. (Narratives, Gender, Parents, Story-telling)

Abstract:

In India, physical and psychological abuse perpetrated by a mother-in-law against a daughter-in-law is well documented. However, there is a dearth of literature exploring the perceived frequency and acceptability of mother-in-law abuse or options available for survivors of this type of abuse. The goal of this qualitative study was to add to the in-law abuse literature by exploring men’s and women’s perspectives about physical and psychological abuse perpetrated by mothers-in-law against daughters-in-law in northern India. Forty-four women and 34 men residing in rural and urban areas of the Udaipur district in the northwest state of Rajasthan participated in semistructured interviews. Women, but not men, thought mother-in-law abuse was common in their communities. Psychological abuse was accepted in certain situations; however, few male or female participants agreed with physical mother-in-law abuse. Men were described as mediators in the context of mother-in-law abuse, and male participants thought that disrespecting a mother-in-law was a justifiable reason for a man to hit his wife. Both male and female participants described few options available for a woman experiencing mother-in-law abuse, apart from asking her husband to intervene or living as a separate, nuclear family. Grassroots initiatives and legislative policy should focus on addressing the immediate needs of women experiencing mother-in-law abuse and developing intergenerational interventions to educate men and women about the dynamics of law abuse.

Abstract:

The murderous and destructive dimension in the acts of mothers in our corpus invites us to relate to the myth of Medea, the real place of the most tragic fantasies. The drama of Medea made it possible to build a “medeic structure” (Alain Depaulis, 2015) which today constitutes the foundation of any psychoanalytical and criminological analysis of maternal infanticide. In the novels under study, mothers' blaming of daughters and their responsibility for misfortune leads to self-harming behavior on the part of daughters. The castration in mothers in the three works under study leads to murderous behavior towards children, but the reasons remain linked to different amorous passions. When castration is due to the absence of the male child, given the importance that the boy requires in the North African and Muslim imagination, the result of this castration results in the revenge of the female children, because considered as source of misfortune by the mother. If castration finds its source in the absence of the love felt for the spouse, as is the case of the passionate love of Medea for Jason, the result is always revenge through murder against children which aims to neutralize this love by removing the blood tie.

Abstract:

Brazil has a high rate of mothers living without a partner as well as a high intergenerational co-residence rate, including parents and grandparents. These family types may influence a child’s well-being. Even though there is no evidence of sex-selective abortion in Brazil, sex preference could still be subtly present. This paper tests the composition of family structure (father co-residence, grandmother co-residence, and birth of siblings) in Brazil associated with the sex of the child by using a nationally representative household survey, treating sex of the first and second child as exogenous variables in OLS regressions. I found women with lower birth-order daughters are less likely to live with a partner. I also found suggestive evidence that maternal grandmothers are more likely to live with granddaughters than with grandsons. Women with lower birth-order daughters are more likely to have additional children. Evidence suggests that in Brazil, fathers show a preference for sons over daughters, while grandmothers show a preference for granddaughters over grandsons. Additionally, mothers of girls, without co-residing partners may compensate for the economic loss caused by their lack of partner by living with their own mother. This contributes to the literature on child sex preferences, which has mostly focused on males (fathers); I have analyzed data on grandmothers to include females.

Abstract:

According to developmental niche theory, members of different cultural and ethnic groups often have distinct ideas about what children need to become well-adapted adults. These beliefs are reflected in parents’ long-term socialization goals for their children. In this study, we test whether specific themes that have been deemed important in literature on diverse families in the United States (e.g., Strong Black Woman [SBW], marianismo, familismo) are evident in mothers’ long-term socialization goals. Participants included 192 mothers of teenage daughters from a low-income city in the United States (58% Latina, 22% African American, and 20% European American [EA]/White). Socialization goals were assessed through a q-sort task on important traits for a woman to possess and content analysis of open-ended responses about what values mothers hoped they would transmit to their daughters as they become adults. Results from ANCOVAs and logistic regression indicate significant racial/ethnic differences on both tasks consistent with hypotheses. On the q-sort task, African American mothers put more importance on women possessing traits such as independence than mothers from other racial/ethnic groups. Similarly, they were more likely to emphasize self-confidence and strength in what they hoped to transmit to their daughters. Contrary to expectation, Latina mothers did not emphasize social traits on the q-sort; however, in open-ended responses, they were more likely to focus on the importance of motherhood, one aspect of marianismo and familismo. Overall, results suggest that these mothers’ long-term socialization goals incorporate culturally relevant values considered important for African American and Latino families.

Abstract:

Abstract In the play The Dilemma of a Ghost and the short story “Something to talk about on the way to a funeral”, Ama Ata Aidoo addresses her concern for the loss of matrilineal traditions in Akan communities. Her works portray mothers-in-law who cannot exert their matrilineal role of selecting their daughters-in-law; instead it is their sons – representatives of the patriarchal traditions acquired since the colonial times – the ones who choose a wife without their mothers’ consent or awareness. This article will examine these women’s attempt to deal with dominant strategies and how their role transforms into that of surrogate mothers who leave aside the rejection of the community and / or their sons towards their daughters-in-law and embrace them in order to promote their acceptance and thus be able to maintain the matrilineal society they belong to.

Abstract:

From the second half of the 20th century, the issue of women’s writing has been of considerable interest in literary studies, highlighting the need to know women as writers and as literary subjects, in order to understand female experience first-hand. This approach to written texts is based on two fundamental aspects of study: women as writers and the representation of women in the text. This has made it possible to examine how women are represented and what topics women writers prefer, for example, motherhood, a literary topos par excellence in Italian literature. Despite this, although motherhood is present in numerous works, the voices of actual mothers are largely absent: mothers and motherhood are in fact narrated from the point of view of daughters. In view of that, there are two main aims of this study: (1) to examine the possible reasons for the absence of the mother’s point of view and (2) to analyze some contemporary Italian literarature narrated by mothers themselves.

Abstract:

The present study investigated the prevalence of gender-stereotyped messages in family stories told to preschool age children. Based on previous research and theory it was expected that mothers would frame their stories with sadness and fathers would frame their stories with themes of anger. It was further expected that sons and daughters would be presented with stories that differed in emotional themes. One hundred and twenty families with preschool age children participated in the study. Mothers and fathers were asked to tell their child a story about when they were disappointed as a child. Two hundred and four stories were coded for themes of sadness, anger, mixed sadness and anger, and no emotional frame. Contrary to predictions, there were relatively few stories told with an anger frame. Mothers overall tended to tell disappointment stories with a frame of sadness. Fathers overall were more likely to use no emotional frame in their stories. Mothers were more likely to tell stories with sadness frames to their daughters than to sons. Two examples are provided that illustrate an instrumental focus of fathers' stories and the emotional content of mothers' stories. The process of creating meaningful stories may be an important avenue that parents use to impart gender-related values to their children.
