Despite the increase in women's social and economic participation, mothers continue to experience conflicts between career and family obligations due to the conventional idea of \"good mothers.\" Do all mothers prioritize their children's needs? This study focuses on whether mothers are willing to sacrifice their happiness and whether such beliefs change over time. We explore the factors contributing to mothers' intention to sacrifice and its change from two theoretical perspectives, rational choice model and linked lives perspective. Using the first three waves of the Panel Study on Korean Children, the findings show that almost half of all mothers are not willing to sacrifice their own happiness for their children at each wave. Both rational choice and linked lives perspectives contribute to explaining mothers' view of sacrifice in the baseline year. The change in mothers' view on sacrifice over time is significantly influenced by a subset of variables including their spouse's positions on sacrifice and social exchange experience with their children (the linked lives perspective), and the emotional values that mothers place on babies (the rational choice model).Résumé:L'idéologie du maternage intensif met l'accent sur le sacrifice des mères pour leurs enfants. En dépit de l'accroissement de la participation des femmes au niveau social et économique, les mères continuent d'expérimenter des conflits entre leur carrière et les obligations familiales en raison de l'idée conventionnelle de la \"bonne mère\". Est-ce que toutes les mères donnent la priorité aux besoins de leurs enfants? Cette étude se concentre sur la volonté des mères de sacrifier leur bonheur et si une telle croyance change au cours du temps. Nous explorons les 356 facteurs qui contribuent à l'intention des mères de se sacrifier et le changement de cette intention selon deux perspectives théoriques: le modèle du choix rationnel et la perspective des vies reliées. En utilisant les trois cohortes du Panel d'étude sur les enfants coréens, les résultats montrent que dans chaque cohorte presque la moitié des mères ne sont pas prêtes à sacrifier leur propre bonheur pour leurs enfants. A la fois le modèle des choix rationnels et la perspective des vies reliées contribuent à expliquer le regard que les mères ont sur leur sacrifice dans l'année de référence. Le changement au cours du temps de ce regard des mères sur le sacrifice est considérablemente influencé par un sous-ensemble de variables dont les opinions de leurs époux sur le sacrifice et l'expérience de l'échange social avec leurs enfants (la perspective des vies reliées), et les valeurs émotionnelles des mères vis à vis de leurs bébés (le modèle des choix rationnels).","PeriodicalId":47212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Family Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"356 - 381"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42373953","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}

The aims of this systematic review were to summarize and critically appraise the quality of research reporting on estimates of mental and physical health conditions among refugee fathers. Electronic databases were systematically searched to identify peer-reviewed studies reporting on the mental and/or physical health of refugee fathers of children aged 0–18 years, who had settled in a host country. Study details and estimates of mental and/or physical health conditions were extracted, and a critical appraisal of study quality conducted. Ten studies reporting estimates of post-traumatic stress (2–86%) and general psychological distress, anxiety, depression, stress and prolonged grief (25–50%) were identified. Only one study reported on physical health. Study quality and variability in recruitment, samples, data collection methods and outcomes across studies made it difficult to estimate the overall prevalence of mental and physical health difficulties. Despite marked heterogeneity across studies, this review highlights that mental health difficulties among refugee fathers are common, identifying them as a specific cohort of socially and culturally diverse fathers at risk of poor health. The findings underscore the need for health and social policy and service delivery specifically focussed on promoting the mental health of refugee fathers and their families.Résumé:On reconnaît de plus en plus que les pères réfugiés jouent un rôle essentiel auprès de leurs enfants et de leur famille pour qu'ils s'adaptent et construisent une nouvelle vie, et que leur santé mentale et physique contribue à la réussite de l'installation et à la santé de leur famille.

Afin d'identifier les études évaluées par des pairs portant sur la santé mentale et/ou physique des pères réfugiés d'enfants âgés de 0 à 18 ans et installés dans un pays d'accueil, des bases de données électroniques ont été systématiquement consultées.

The clarification concerns the mediation and moderation of the effect of nightshift work by work hazards and shift autonomy. This study analyzed survey data on 793 police officers in Hong Kong, China. Results showed that the duration of nightshift work negatively affects work-family balance. This effect partly involved the mediation of work hazards, and it was weak when the shift autonomy was high. The lower shift autonomy of female officers during nightshift work than their male counterparts was partly responsible for the former's lower work-family balance. These results imply the applicability of conservation of resources theory to promote work-family balance.Résumé:Maintenir un équilibre entre le travail et la famille est essentiel. Clarifier comment le travail de nuit entrave cet équilibre est crucial. La précision porte sur la médiation et la modération de l'effet du travail de nuit par les aléas du travail et l'autonomie des équipes. Cette étude a analysé les données d'enquête auprès de 793 policiers à Hong Kong, Chine. Les résultats ont montré que la durée du travail de nuit affecte négativement l'équilibre travail-famille. Cet effet impliquait en partie la médiation des aléas du travail, et il était faible lorsque l'autonomie de poste était elevée. La plus faible autonomie de quart des policières pendant le travail de nuit que leurs homologues masculins était en partie responsable de la plus faible conciliation travail-famille des premières.

A total number of 107 mothers (UK: N = 55; China: N = 52) with two children were administered through a battery of online questionnaires respectively. Results showed no significant differences in the quality of sibling relationships between the two countries. Conflict and competitive behaviours among siblings greatly outnumbered warmth-related ones for both countries. In terms of maternal parenting style, permissive and authoritarian parenting styles were more dominant in both China and the UK compared with the authoritative style. However, British mothers tend to be more authoritarian than their Chinese counterparts towards both older and younger children. Although significant transnational correlations were found on the associations between maternal parenting style and the quality of sibling relationships, the authoritative parenting style was found to be more conducive to reduce the conflict behaviours between siblings in the UK, while the authoritarian parenting style turned out to be more effective among Chinese mothers. The above findings deepen our understanding of the association of parenting styles with sibling relationships. Implications on parenting practice to improve the quality of sibling relationships are also offered.Résumé:Cette étude, réalisée à travers une enquête en Chine et au Royaume-Uni auprès de familles ayant deux enfants, visait à explorer les différences, similitudes et associations entre les relations fraternelles et les styles parentaux maternels d'un point de vue transnational. Au total, 107 mères (Royaume-Uni: N = 55; Chine: N = 52) ayant deux enfants ont été interrogées au moyen d'une batterie de questionnaires en ligne. Les résultats n'ont révélé aucune différence significative dans la qualité des relations fraternelles entre les deux pays. Les conflits et les comportements concurrentiels entre frères et sœurs étaient beaucoup plus fréquents que des relations chaleureuses dans les deux pays. En termes de style parental maternel, les styles parentaux permissifs et autoritaires étaient plus dominants en Chine et au Royaume-Uni par rapport au style autoritaire. Cependant, les mères britanniques ont tendance à être plus autoritaires que leurs homologues chinoises envers les enfants plus âgés et plus jeunes. Bien que des corrélations transnationales significatives aient été trouvées en ce qui concerne les associations entre le style parental maternel et la qualité des relations fraternelles, le style parental autoritaire s'est avéré plus propice à réduire les comportements conflictuels entre frères et sœurs au Royaume-Uni, tandis que le style parental autoritaire s'est avéré plus efficace chez les mères chinoises.

Another set of literature, though quite scanty, reveals gender differences in experiences in consensual unions. This paper adds to the argument that attitudes towards intimate relationships and marriage can be gendered. As a result, one partner may hope for the conversion of a consensual union to marriage whilst the other would not. The paper interrogates the ways in which the socio-cultural context of Ghana influences the gendered attitudes towards consensual unions as a form of intimate partnership and creates a sense of 'commitment phobia' particularly for men. To do this, thirty-one people with varying ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds were purposively sampled. In-depth interviews were conducted separately for the individual partners. The paper concludes that contrary to the unitary household conception of consensual unions, there is a gendered conceptualisation of these unions where women are more likely to think of consensual unions as a precursor to marriage while men think of it as an alternative to marriage.Résumé:De nombreux travaux sur les unions consensuelles laissent entrevoir une conception familiale unitaire des unions consensuelles soit comme un précurseur, soit comme une alternative au mariage. Une autre série de documents, bien que peu nombreux, révèle des différences entre les sexes dans les expériences d'unions consensuelles. Cet article ajoute à l'argument selon lequel les attitudes envers les relations intimes et le mariage peuvent être sexuées. Par conséquent, un partenaire peut espérer qu'une union consensuelle se transforme en mariage alors que l'autre ne le souhaite pas. L'article s'interroge sur la manière dont le contexte socioculturel du Ghana influence les attitudes sexuées envers les unions consensuelles en tant que forme de partenariat intime et crée un sentiment de \"phobie de l'engagement\", en particulier chez les hommes. Pour ce faire, trente et une personnes d'origines ethniques et socio-économiques diverses ont été échantillonnées à dessein. Des entretiens approfondis ont été menés séparément pour les partenaires individuels.

Data of the Microcensus show that cohabiting same-sex couples are less likely to be homogamous than cohabiting different-sex couples, both in terms of age and education. For same-sex couples, gender matters, male same-sex couples being the most diverse. The analyses thus confirm previous results for other European countries. Hitherto, changes in the homogamy of same-sex couples over time had not been studied in Europe, mainly due to data constraints. However, major changes in the visibility and legal acceptance of same-sex couples suggest that their patterns of partner choice are becoming more similar to those of different-sex couples. Our analyses show that the age difference among female same-sex couples has indeed narrowed over time, converging with the age difference among different-sex couples. For male same-sex couples though, there is no clear trend. In terms of educational homogamy, contrary to our assumption, we find a clear decline among same-sex couples of both genders since the 2000s, making them even more dissimilar to different-sex couples.Résumé:Cet article analyse l'homogamie par âge et par niveau d'éducation des couples de même sexe en Allemagne sur une période de 20 ans, de 1996 à 2015. Les données du microrecensement indiquent que les couples de même sexe cohabitant sont moins susceptibles d'être homogames que les couples de sexe différent cohabitant, tant en ce qui concerne l'âge que l'éducation. Pour les couples de même sexe, le genre compte, les couples de même sexe masculins étant les plus diversifiés. Les analyses confirment ainsi des résultats antérieurs pour d'autres pays européens. Jusqu'à présent, l'évolution de l'homogamie des couples de même sexe au fil du temps n'avait pas été étudiée en Europe, principalement en raison de lacunes en matière de données. Cependant, des changements majeurs dans la visibilité et l'acceptation légale des couples de même sexe suggèrent que leurs modèles de choix de partenaire deviennent plus similaires à ceux des couples de sexe différent. Nos analyses montrent que la différence d'âge parmi les couples de même sexe féminins s'est effectivement réduite au fil du temps, convergeant vers la différence d'âge parmi les couples de sexe différent. En revanche, aucune tendance claire ne se dégage pour les couples de même sexe masculins. En termes d'homogamie éducative, nous constatons, contrairement à notre hypothèse, un net déclin chez les couples de même sexe masculins et féminins depuis les années 2000, ce qui les différencie encore plus des couples de sexe différent.","PeriodicalId":47212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Comparative Family Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"161 - 188"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43376398","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}
