However, there has been limited research on how these practices are transmitted across generations. This scoping review synthesized 18 peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2023 from four databases, including PsycINFO, PubMed, PsycNet, and ProQuest. The findings revealed that 16 out of 18 studies showed a significant positive correlation in the intergenerational transmission of CP. Among them, nine studies indicated the intergenerational transmission of perpetrating CP, while seven found individuals with childhood CP experience would approve CP. Conversely, only one study suggested a negative association, indicating adults experienced childhood CP were less likely to use it on their own children. Additionally, one study found no significant impact of harsh mothering on later harsh parenting behaviors. These mixed findings highlight the intricate relationship between childhood CP experiences and adult disciplinary attitudes and behaviors. Future studies should prioritize longitudinal research and culturally sensitive approaches to better understand the mechanisms underlying CP transmission and develop effective strategies to break this cycle across generations.","PeriodicalId":54211,"journal":{"name":"Trauma Violence & Abuse","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143898252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this phenomenological qualitative study, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 36 community-dwelling older people (≥65 years). The ‘Tilburg Frailty Indicator’ was administered to measure frailty, 15 of the participants were considered frail. Thematic analysis revealed the following themes and subthemes: 1) frailty experiences: <em>situation related, initiated internally, initiated externally,</em> and <em>being and feeling frail;</em> 2) coping: <em>cognitive efforts, behavioral efforts,</em> and <em>emotional aspects.</em> The distinction between being frail and feeling frail was, among other things, reflected in the temporality of frailty experiences, such as short periods of moments in time experiencing frailty. Personal factors and contexts strongly influence an individual's experiences and multiple coping strategies were discovered, with mindset shaping individual coping strategies.

We studied the planning and governance structure of the smart city plan, vis-à-vis the motivations, experiences, and responses to urban development in poor communities. We interviewed men and women from different livelihood, age, and class groups to answer the following questions: (a) How do masculine identities and roles shape entrepreneurial modes and processes of urbanization? Specifically, how is urban governance gendered? (b) How does urban development reinforce, reconfigure, or alienate masculine identities? We argue that while technocratic business masculinities are reinforced in an age of neoliberal urbanization, the spurring of privatized smart enclaves and knowledge economies threaten the identities of working-class men and their gendered experience of belonging in the city. The masculinization of urban elite networks accompanied by the feminization of the civil society further enables exclusionary modes of city governance to operate. This is brought about through the tokenizing of poor communities’ participation in planning processes and a manufacturing of cohesion through the appropriation of technocratic and evidence-based approaches by elite networks that typify technocratic masculine ideals, as opposed to the ‘feminine’ affective and consultative strategies employed by civil society groups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45675,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Science","volume":"53 2","pages":"Article 100197"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143894913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper uses a feminist new materialism framework, applying the theory of intra-action to recognise how the coming together of humans, digital and material space, objects and emotions produce assemblages which have affective capacities. Whilst previous research has employed feminist new materialist understandings to examine affective and emotional encounters with technology, little attention has been paid to the entanglement of material and digital spaces and their role within this. Moreover, little attention has been paid to the specificities of young people's experiences. To fill these gaps, I think with feminist new materialism and work within digital geographies to examine how young people reconfigure their use of and experience of space in relation to self-tracking and analyse the affective capacities of the self-tracking assemblage when young people are tied to a space, in relation to their everyday lives and the covid-19 pandemic.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47492,"journal":{"name":"Emotion Space and Society","volume":"55 ","pages":"Article 101090"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143894999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
