Abstract:
The authors examine family purchase-decision dynamics to shed light on enhancing marketing communication effectiveness. In particular, the authors are interested in understanding the temporal nature of spousal behavioral interaction in family decision making to help marketers target communication messages, shape brand choice, and guide personal selling activities. The authors calibrate a dynamic simultaneous equations model to investigate spousal family purchase-decision behavior: What are spousal behavioral interactions in a discrete purchase decision, and what are the temporal aspects of spousal decision behavior across decisions? The results indicate that spouses tend both not to reciprocate coercion in a discrete decision and to adjust influence strategies over time. The authors also investigate the effectiveness of influence strategies and spousal satisfaction with decisions and their impacts on spousal subsequent decision behaviors from a postdecision perspective as a mechanism to explain why spouses revise decision behaviors across purchase decisions. The authors discuss marketing implications of their findings and present ideas about how to use these findings creatively to target advertising and sales messages to influential spouses in specific decision contexts.

Abstract:
Family is one entity that has complex variables underplaying the consumption decisions, and marketers must understand how couples behave in concert to resolve conflict across major decisions. In this study, the family aspects are investigated to shed more light on spouse attitude towards family decision-making for selection of car and school/college for their ward and assess the impact of attitudinal factor on decision satisfaction. The drop-off/pick-up method was used to collect the data from Northern India. The result reveals that spousal attitude is formed by marital power, assertiveness, subtle manipulation, love, bargaining and being submissive. Results of multiple regression analysis show that subtle manipulation is most and marital power has a negative impact on spouses’ decision satisfaction. Thus, when targeting a family for a significant trades assay, the salesperson should focus on both husband and wife and stimulate a conversation between them to appeal to their conjoint kinship.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the factors informing spousal global mobility decisions within the context of sporting expatriation. Findings contribute to the non-corporate global mobility literature as well as providing an empirical enhancement to the family relatedness of work decisions framework. Design/methodology/approach In this qualitative study, in-depth interviews gave voice to 21 spouses of professional sailors who have experienced both trailing their spouse and staying behind. Findings Access to empathetic social support, the potential impact on children, and the spouse’s career were all found to influence the spouse’s dynamic global mobility decision making. Research limitations/implications The study is limited by the cross-sectional nature of the research. Future longitudinal research into the impact of spousal preferences would identify the on-going effect of their decision(s) to relocate or to stay behind. Practical implications Providing organisations with an understanding of the familial issues their global talent may factor into their work mobility decisions will allow them to implement appropriate family-focussed support, irrespective of the choice to engage, or not engage, in global mobility. Originality/value By grounding the study in the under-researched sporting arena, the author contributes to the emerging non-corporate expatriate conversation. Furthermore, the family relatedness of work-related decisions framework was found to provide a useful conceptual foundation for understanding decision making in an international context.

Abstract:
Extensive research has focused on understanding family dynamics of men with prostate cancer. However, little qualitative work has examined the role of family ties on men’s prostate cancer decisions across the spectrum of screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Using data from a larger study, we qualitatively explored the influence of family ties on men’s prostate cancer decisions. Semistructured interviews were conducted with men ages ≥50 ( N = 64), and data were analyzed using a grounded theory approach and a series of immersion/crystallization cycles. Three major themes of spousal/family member influence were identified: (a) spousal/family member alliance marked by open communication and shared decision making, (b) men who actively opposed spouse/family member pressure and made final decisions themselves, and (c) men who yielded to spouse/family member pressure. Our findings provide insights into men’s relational dynamics that are important to consider for the shared decision-making process across the prostate cancer spectrum.

Abstract:
This paper examines the intra-household decision-making patterns among spouses regarding agroforestry decisions in the eastern highlands of Uganda. The study uses both quantitative and qualitative data to examine spousal differences in the allocation of decision-making power over eight agroforestry decisions in dual-headed households. Quantitative data were collected through a cross-sectional survey in which both husbands and wives were interviewed separately and used to determine the decision-making power of spouses as well as the influence of individual and household characteristics on decision-making. Qualitative data from focus group discussions were collected to validate the quantitative findings. The study found that there were agreements and disagreements among spouses on how decision-making power is exercised over a range of agroforestry decisions. Wives allocated themselves more decision-making power than was assigned to them by their husbands. The higher allocation of decision-making power for wives tended to be in decisions linked to their roles and responsibilities in the household. The most critical factor influencing accord in decision-making was the number of years spent together by the couple while the number of children shared between the couple and farm-labour difference between husband and wife was the most significant for discord. Findings imply that most agroforestry interventions where wives participate without their spouses are bound to fail in dual-headed households because they wives limited decision-making power. It's desirable for programmes promoting agroforestry to integrate both husbands and wives in their interventions, for agroforestry to be more meaningful in meeting their divergent interests.

Abstract:
This article reviews the theories and literature in intrahousehold financial decisions, spousal partners and financial decision making, family system and financial decision process, children, and financial decisions. The article draws conclusions from the literature review and discusses directions for future research and educational programs. Most financial education and counseling takes place at the individual level, whereas financial decisions take place at household and intrahousehold levels. Family members, spouses/partners, children, and others play a key role in individuals’ financial decisions. The article proposes the key programmatic implications for financial professionals and educators that need to be integrated into financial education and counseling. Understanding the unique dynamics of family financial decision making would help create effective educational and counseling strategies for the whole families.

The purpose of this study was to investigate personal and spousal decisions to seek funding for spousal medical care, when such treatments are not covered by the National Package of Healthcare Services or by other types of healthcare insurance. Research data were collected in Israel during 2008-2010 by means of structured questionnaires. The questionnaires were administered to a nonrandom sample of 160 patients with a health condition requiring private funding of treatment. The study clearly reveals that the decision to forego fundraising results not only from financial considerations. Patients' illness-related factors and available personal, spousal, and social resources are significant as well.

Abstract:

Spousal communication on issues related to family planning and reproductive health is important in influencing fertility limiting behaviour. In South Africa, studies analyzing the relationship between spousal communication and family planning behaviour are virtually nonexistant. Understanding this relationship is critical for less developed countries where fertility remains at substantially high levels. In most countries, the isolation of men's participation in family planning issues is acknowledged as one of the major causes of poor performance of most family planning programs. In addition, lack of spousal communication about family planning is identified as one of the reasons for low levels of contraceptive use among women. The main objective of this study was to assess spousal communication on contraceptive use and family planning behaviour in three distinct areas in the Richtersveld (Northern Cape) area.

Abstract:
Partners play a critical role in making decisions about fertility preservation among young patients with cancer, yet little is known about these dyadic decisions when planning cancer treatment. Fertility preservation entails helping cancer patients preserve fertility after cancer treatment. This qualitative study investigated: 1) Heterosexual couples' responses to potential fertility loss; 2) their process in making fertility preservation decisions; 3) their ethical and legal concerns, and 4) recommendations for other couples undergoing similar treatment. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 heterosexual couples whose female partners were diagnosed with cancer and had received fertility preservation consultations within the past 5 years. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using grounded theory methods. The results indicated that couples have varied reactions to infertility. In most, spouses let the patients take the lead in, and supported, their fertility preservation decisions. Spouses recommended support to patients. Couples face challenges in making fertility preservation decisions. Input from, and support for, both partners is essential to ensure well-informed, high-quality fertility preservation decisions.

Abstract:
My thesis is a small tour of the health care system (emergency room, hospital and home), with special emphasis on providers. Chapter 1 analyzes how emergency room doctors change their behavior when the waiting room is crowded. The outcomes reflect the time spent with the patient, the intensity of treatment, and discharge destination. Chapter 2 extends the previous setting to inpatient care, to determine how doctors react to hospital occupancy level. It identifies doctors’ discharging criteria as a causal factor for the positive relation between occupancy rates and readmissions. The analysis in Chapters 1 and 2 contributes to the doctors’ incentives literature, explaining how these agents behave in the context of a National Health Service, with no financial incentives. Chapter 3 examines the impact of informally providing care to a partner (at home) on the physical and mental health of the carer.

Abstract:

This article explores how married couples managed their finances and made financial decisions when one spouse had dementia, drawing comparisons with the approaches used prior to the illness. More specifically, the article examines the role of social factors in influencing the involvement of people with dementia in financial management and decision-making, particularly whether a gender dynamic adopted earlier in a marriage similarly influenced a gendered approach following dementia. The research formed part of a larger study of everyday decision-making by couples living with dementia which explored the role of non-cognitive factors in influencing whether people with dementia were involved in decision-making processes. Twenty-one married couples living at home took part; the recently-diagnosed were excluded. Qualitative methods -including participant observation and interviews - were used to examine the couples' fiscal management and decision-making-processes, the perceptions of people with dementia and their spouses about their current financial abilities and whether any support provided by spouse-carers influenced their partners' financial capacity. The fieldwork was undertaken in the North of England between June 2010 and May 2011. Thematic analysis of the data showed that social factors influenced the perceived capacity of people with dementia and the financial practices adopted by the couples. In particular, gender influenced whether people with dementia were involved in financial decisions. The research demonstrated that non-cognitive factors need to be taken into account when assessing and facilitating the capacity of people with dementia. In addition, as people with dementia were somewhat marginalised in decisions about designating financial authority (Lasting Power of Attorney), spouse-carers may need guidance on how to undertake advance care planning and how to support their relatives with dementia in major decision-making, particularly when there are communication difficulties.

This research is to describe female spouses’ experiences and decision-making processes of donating a kidney to their husbands. We conducted a qualitative research study using purposive sampling approach, and interviewed with 4 female spouses who were recruited from a medical center in Southern Taiwan. In-depth imterviews were conducted between September and December, 2008. Semi-structured question guides were used to facilitate the interview. The participants’ responses were tape-recorded, verbatim transcribed, and analyzed by content analysis method. The results showed that decision-making processes of the female living donors included “idea inception”, “hesitation”, ”the decision of females”, ”returning to the beginning”, and “resolution”. Post-operation living experiences included “unforgettable painful transitional period”,”recovery”, and “perception about kidney donation”. The study provided descriptive information about female living donors’ experiences and decision-making processes. Through the findings of this study, coupled with literature review and clinical nursing experiences, we hope that healthcare providers can better understand the living donors’ experiences and decision-making processes, provide comprehensive and continuous care and evaluation, and help them resolve physical, psychological, and social problems. Special assistance and appropriate intervention can also be provided to future potential living donors.

Taiwan is one of the leading Asian countries when it comes to the development of organ donation. However, there is still a yawning gap between the supply and demand of donor organs. Many patients passed away during the long, arduous wait for a donor. Aside from focusing on potential donors, it is also vital that we look at the donor’s legally recognized relatives, who have to sign the final donation agreement. Currently, national law requires the donor’s next of kin to sign the donation consent form after the donor has deceased. Even if the deceased donor has consented to organ donation, it is their legally recognized relatives who make the final decision on the donation. The spouse of the donor is the first authorized decision maker; it is they who have to consent to organ donation in the face of extreme emotional pain from their terrible loss. The spouse is therefore put under pressure and in a dilemma. This study focuses on the difficulties the donor’s spouse faces and analyses their needs to be met after the donation. It is hoped that through this process, the flaws in the national organ donation policy can become clearer. The research is carried out by first attending family meetings hosted by the Organ Donation Association, R.O.C. to find possible research subjects. In-depth interviews are conducted for the spouses of five organ donors, which make up the content of this study. It is hoped that the result of this study can facilitate the drafting and the implementation of future organ donation policy. The research showed that most donor spouses face ‘rejection from the family’ and were put into a dilemma. Although the spouse is the first authorized decision maker, they were confronted by voices of dissent from the rest of the family and friends. They felt it is a difficult decision to make. The spouse and relatives of the donor also need ‘parent-child relationship enhancement’, ‘financial supports’ and ‘trauma counselling’, among others. It is found that although they receive helps from the official support system, these bits of help are not nearly enough. In terms of helping the spouse and relatives to overcome the decision-making dilemma and meeting their needs after the donation, this study suggests to implementing better the delineation of roles and service provision of personnel involved. In which case, the spouse and donor relatives can receive sufficient support during the organ donation process. Organ donation has to be a precise, integrated chain of action, giving the spouse and family professional support to overcome difficulties before and after the donation.

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between spouse with underage children congruence in decision- making in different life situations and marital adjustment. In addition, we examine the comparisons among couples in different stages of the family life cycle. The purposive sampling method is used to conduct surveys with structured questionnaires among spouses with underage children and have full-time work in counties of Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli and Taichung City. 240 pairs of participants returned valid responses for further analysis. The major findings are as follows: 1.Spousal congruence of subjectivity correlates positively with the “Conflicting Severity” of marital adjustment correlation, while negatively with “Marriage Satisfaction .” 2.The disparity in spousal congruence of subjectivity could predict the results of marital adjustment：Husband’s disparity in congruence of subjectivity impacts on his own result of marital adjustment；Wife’s marital adjustment is not only affected by herself, but also by his husband’s disparity in congruence of subjectivity. 3.Spousal congruence of objectivity should have no significant correlation with marital adjustment. 4.For spouses in different stages of the family life cycle, the comparison between their congruence and marital adjustment do not vary markedly. Finally, based on the findings and limitations, the study provides several suggestions for individuals and spouses, as well as future studies.

Abstract:
This chapter assesses the relevance of the collective model for the analysis of households in poor countries. As an economic unit, a household creates the possibility of mutual gains for spouses thanks to the possibility of joint consumption of public goods, risk sharing, etc. The collective model assumes that households behave efficiently, in the sense that there is no misallocation or waste of household resources, given the outside options of each spouse. This chapter bridges the theoretical literature describing efficient intra-household behaviour and the development literature that collects empirical regularities pointing toward the existence of strategic decision making among spouses. It examines the key elements of the collective model and discusses its relevance to analysing intra-household behaviour in poor countries. It explores the role that risk and uncertainty, information asymmetries, power imbalances, arranged marriages, strategic investment, gender norms, and extended households play in the attainment of efficiency.

Abstract:
The question of our research and our book is as follows: What is the experience of African-American elder male caregivers? Research and literature on African-American older males as informal, primary caregivers of demented or impaired family members, particularly spouses, are negligible. Male caregivers in general have been called “hidden” caregivers. Thus, we named the elderly African-American male caregivers we interviewed for this book “the hidden among the hidden.” We asked the experts—a group of 13 African-American male caregivers—to discuss the concrete and nonmaterial aspects of giving care to an impaired loved one. Our book addresses the knowledge gap about African-American male caregivers by revealing, in case-study form, their experiences of caregiving in the context of their personal biography and cohort history. Our focus is the practical and existential meaning of daily life as a caregiver. The men discussed in this book are over 60 years of age, most are long married, and they have been caregivers in their homes for at least 5 years and as long as 25 years. Their loved ones, particularly wives, suffered from a variety of illnesses and debilities that necessitated hands-on care. The book examines varied aspects of the caregiving experience, the unique generativity of men who give care, and the emotions and conflicts about decision making that emerge in day-to-day caregiving.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter offers a critical reframing of how migration decision-making can shift between partners over time and space. Told through the lens of the female spouse within two heterosexual migrant couples, the chapter shows how experiences of mobility are not just shaped by individuals’ social positionality but also by the complex intersections between their classed, gendered, religious and racialised identities and that of their partners. The literature on middling migration has often been a story of male-led labour migration, with women occupying the status of the accompanying migrant. Less attention is paid to the experiences of migrant women, particularly those who first relocate on family or spousal visas but who seek to re-negotiate gender-differentiated career progression over time and through multiple relocations. Through a detailed biographical case study of two couples, this chapter seeks to capture the shifts in their trajectories, attachments and decision-making that occur spatially, temporally and relationally to show the diverse experiences and statuses that constitute the often-homogenised category of ‘the middle’.

Abstract:
The European Regulation no 650/2012 unified the determination of jurisdiction and applicable law in succession matters in the Member States of the European Union. At the same time, it underlined other issues that complicate decision making on cross-border succession in the Slovak Republic. One of the most striking is the resolution of the issue of settling the common property of spouses, which under Slovak procedural law, is exercised by a notary in succession proceedings. The Slovak Republic does not participate at the enhanced cooperation on cross-border matrimonial property regimes, so joining jurisdiction in these cases with succession proceedings is very complicated. The present article deals with this and some other issues which the fragmentation of EU private international law brings.

It used the community scorecard method to understand their knowledge, attitude, perception, and use of contraception, and the barriers they face in accessing and obtaining contraceptive methods. The study also examined partner involvement and inter-spousal communication. The study reported higher awareness of FP methods among women than among men but poor knowledge of FP method availability and accessibility among both. Further, there was a positive perception of CHW’s role and a high perception of barriers in terms of social norms, lack of knowledge, and limited access to services among women. A bidirectional relationship between spousal support and method satisfaction was observed. The inter-spousal communication and decision-making by women were moderately reported by women. Findings provide insights for policymakers to address family planning needs. Focusing on young couples is important due to their higher unmet need for family planning. The study emphasizes the role of men in family planning decision-making highlighting the need for improved communication between partners. In summary, this chapter presents a scientifically rigorous study on contraception among young couples in India, offering insights to address their family planning needs using robust research methods.

Abstract:
Abstract Within the demographic literature, or at least that which pertains to western countries, there exists a concept that certain parities are ‘discretionary’-implying that there are certain parities at which couples’ fertility decision-making processes are likely to be more evident than others. This concept is evident in the very title of Westoff, Potter and Sagi’s seminal book The Third Child (1963). As in other studies done during the same period of time, this study examines the relative contributions of various factors that predict a third birth among couples with two children. Such investigations of fertility decision-making benefit from a focus on spousal dynamics occurring at key decision-making junctures.

Abstract:
Not all marriages last and unlike other personal relationships, the dissolution of a marriage requires legal involvement to end the relationship. A divorce not only severs a marriage, but it also introduces legal involvement. That legal involvement is in the form of state laws that define how divorces are granted, whether the couple needs to have a formal separation before a divorce can be granted, how property should be divided upon dissolution, and whether formalized spousal financial support should commence. Although the law is involved in each of these issues, there are now more opportunities for the use of alternative dispute resolution options rather than traditional court settings that attempt to give more of the decision making back to the couple.

Abstract:
Promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women and elimination of violence against women was recognised as an important component in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Intimate partner violence is one of the most common forms of gender based violence throughout the world. Empowering women is an effective measure required to tackle the problem of domestic violence. There are various parameters that are used to measure women empowerment like education, work force participation, women’s decision making capacity in the family etc. In this paper we have analysed the relationship between women’s experience of spousal sexual violence and women empowerment using the ecological model of domestic violence proposed by Heise. We have used the data of the 4th National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4) conducted in India in 2015–2016. Our results show that common empowerment related factors like education was not significantly associated with women’s experience of sexual abuse. Moreover, the likelihood of facing sexual abuse by husband was found higher among working women. We observe that relational and contextual factors like husband’s assertion of control over wife, cultural norms that condone wife abuse significantly increased women’s likelihood of experiencing sexual violence by husband.

Abstract:
Surrogates who must make medical decisions for other people—most often, loved ones—face difficult challenges not acknowledged in current models of medical decision making. Furthermore, medical decisions are typically not a single event, but an ongoing event that evolves over time. This chapter presents a broader conceptualization of medical decision making, highlighting that (1) surrogate decision makers often face multiple problems, not a single clear problem; (2) the path to the decision maker’s desired goal is often unclear and often constrained by past decisions; (3) the social relationships between the surrogate and the patient (parent, adult child, spouse) influence the decision making as surrogates try to fulfill their role as a good parent, good son/daughter, or good spouse; and (4) surrogate decision makers often judge themselves negatively in ways that influence their decisions and the outcome. Clinicians who recognize these complex influences on surrogate decision making may be better able to support surrogates through this difficult process.

Abstract:
Abstract Making a decision requires above all that perception faithfully reflect reality. Yet that is not always the case—far from it! Crossing the street one day, a woman friend of mine passed a man she thought was her husband and moved to make a familiar gesture. Realizing her mistake just in time, she checked her impulse. How was she able to avoid finding herself in an embarrassing situation of extending her hand, or her cheek, to a man she didn’t know?How does the brain decide that a person is a friend, spouse, one’s own child, or stranger? Who has not experienced similar confusion in recognizing a face? How do we go from ‘I see him’ to ‘I know him’? This ability to know another is not a question of language, because frequently we are able to recognize people without remembering their name.

Abstract:
By definition, those with DLB or PDD are cognitively impaired. The degree of cognitive impairment is highly variable; some people remain relatively compensated and stable for years. For others, confusion impairs even the simplest of activities. Unlike Alzheimer’s disease, in which dementia occurs in isolation, DLB and PDD are often associated with other problems: gait and balance dysfunction; impairment of hand dexterity; the bowel, bladder, and blood pressure problems of dysautonomia. The challenges to not only the affected person, but also the spouse or partner and family can be substantial. Caregivers may have many responsibilities, and restructured lives become the rule. These issues are so variable that a one-size-fits-all approach is not realistic. Once DLB or PDD has been diagnosed, it is wise for the spouse, partner, or family to discuss with the affected patient whether revisions in decision-making should be addressed. Occasional people with DLB or PDD have relatively limited cognitive problems, and for these individuals perhaps no major changes in the family business or finances are necessary. However, this issue should still be discussed. Investments, taxes, and bill-paying may need to be switched to another family member or spouse. A family business may need new leadership. In some cases, leadership positions may be retained, but with an advisor who reviews all important decisions. When there is uncertainty, formal cognitive testing may provide important insight. Psychologists typically offer psychometric testing, assessing various aspects of cognition. The interpretation of these findings can be translated into implications for decision-making. One of the most disabling restrictions placed on someone in our society is the removal of driving privileges. Communities are no longer structured where one can simply walk to the store, church, or synagogue. In the setting of DLB or PDD, however, driving restrictions or limitations may be appropriate. At least the possibility should be discussed. Driving may be compromised by both cognitive impairment and parkinsonism. Usually it is the cognitive problems that are the greater threat to the driver and public safety.

Abstract:
The article analyses the results of a sociological survey concerning the influence of certain socio-psychological factors on the decision-making process of Russian women to give birth to a/another child. The survey was conducted by the author in all federal districts of the Russian Federation in 2021. It was determined that socio-psychological factors of close-knit family, love between spouses and psychological readiness to have a child have a strong influence on procreative behaviour; the grandparents’ willingness to provide assistance looking after the child/children has a medium impact. It was also revealed that the ideal number of children in the family according to the respondents cannot ensure the simple population reproduction in the country.

Abstract:
This report provides an in-depth look at the legal landscape surrounding common-law partnerships in Canada. The recognition and rights afforded to people in common-law relationships depend primarily upon the provincial or territorial jurisdiction. An array of scenarios such as health care decisions, property division upon separation, spousal support claims, inheritance rights, and special considerations for couples living on reserve contribute to the intricate tapestry of legal rights in these relationships. A closer look at the provincial and territorial processes of establishing health care decision-making authority emphasizes that certain jurisdictions do not automatically recognize common-law partners to the same extent as married ones. Moreover, property division rights are absent in several jurisdictions following separation, amounting to different treatment of common-law and married couples. Interestingly, the availability of spousal support post-separation, as well as the guidelines followed by the judges allocating them, are shared by most jurisdictions, with the exception of Quebec. Intestate (without a will) inheritance rights vary considerably, with some regions excluding common-law partners from automatic inheritance. A notable exception arises for couples living under the jurisdiction of the Family Homes on Reserves and Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act (FHRMIRA), highlighting the interactions of federal and regional laws. After highlighting how the rights of common-law partners differ across Canada, this report concludes by raising some of the important dimensions of the current debates on safeguarding the rights of common-law couples.

Men and family planning in Bangladesh: A review of the literature. Population Council, 1996. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1996.1004.

Full text
Abstract:
This report reviews the literature on men and family planning (FP) in Bangladesh. A variety of topics are covered: male fertility preferences, opinions about male methods of contraception, family planning (FP) decision-making, and recent efforts to involve Bangladeshi men in FP programs. Men’s desired family size in Bangladesh is small; only one-third of respondents in the most recent DHS survey wanted more than two children. The same survey revealed that knowledge of at least one modern method of FP is practically universal and that attitudes toward contraception are overwhelmingly favorable. Only superficial information on the frequency and quality of communication about FP between spouses and the effects of such communication on contraceptive usage exists. Not much effort has been made to involve men in FP programs in Bangladesh. The few references that could be found suggest that men can be successfully incorporated into outreach programs and that contraceptive prevalence can be raised through such efforts.
