Privilege removal had the most significantly effective results, followed by grounding. Sending children to their room and spanking significantly reduced externalizing problems only in one or two analyses for African-Americans, whereas removing children's allowance was significantly effective in one overall analysis.

This negative effect is observed for children of never married, divorced or separated, and widowed lone mothers as well as for children of women currently married to a migrant not residing in the household provided they are not head of household. This disadvantage may be explained by reduced availability of human, material, and financial resources; restricted agency of the mother; and long-term socioeconomic and demographic processes shaping family relations and migration.","PeriodicalId":51527,"journal":{"name":"MARRIAGE AND FAMILY REVIEW","volume":"52 1","pages":"162 - 195"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2016-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01494929.2015.1136859","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59240780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A previous study demonstrated that self-descriptions had little impact on dating success. This was attributed to obstacles in inspection and processing time, primacy effects, information overload, interference, mental discomfort, and low variability in descriptions. The present study controlled for these factors. Results show that for men the self-descriptions were half as important as the photographs, whereas for women the impact of the descriptions was equal to the photographs. This article includes a discussion of the contrast between findings in research on mating preference and actual dating studies, and the implications of its findings for dating and the dating industry.","PeriodicalId":51527,"journal":{"name":"MARRIAGE AND FAMILY REVIEW","volume":"46 1","pages":"538 - 562"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2010-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01494929.2010.543038","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59240741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast to accepted psychoanalytical explanations, a learning perspective is taken where persons are taught to love animals; emphasis for such teaching is placed within the family. Children are taught to relate emotionally to animals under a framework of social learning theory using classical, operant, and observational learning. After this emotional base has been established, and as individuals form independent cognitions about the world, animals represent tabula rasa stimuli upon which persons inscribe ideosyncratic content. Following childhood, maintenance issues are focused upon using a social role-activity theory rationale. At this stage pet-oriented role activities perform utilitarian functions, defining relationships between the individual, family, and society.","PeriodicalId":51527,"journal":{"name":"MARRIAGE AND FAMILY REVIEW","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J002V08N03_04","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66440602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An examination of case law, as well as legal rules and regulations, shows how these changes have affected prisoner-family relationships as expressed in law. Two issues are addressed: prisoners' rights to marry and divorce and prisoners' rights of visitation with partners, spouses, and children. The analysis of case law involving these issues provide access to the dominant forms of legal discourse shaping the relationship between prisoners and their families. The evidence shows that despite the symbolic deference given by the law to the importance of prison-family relationships in the ultimate rehabilitation of prisoners, there has been widespread deterioration of prisoner access to families. The increasingly harsh prison regimes regard families as potentially criminal and subversive and...","PeriodicalId":51527,"journal":{"name":"MARRIAGE AND FAMILY REVIEW","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2008-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J002V32N03_05","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66466372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, psychometric testing of this scale has not been conducted. In two studies, we examine its psychometric properties. In the first study, 101 parents (mostly mothers) completed the CCNES and a variety of other scales. The results reveal that the CCNES is internally reliable and has sound test-retest reliability and construct validity. Factor analysis of the structure of the CCNES suggests that there may be only four rather than six subscales. In the second study, we examined the predictive validity of the CCNES to 36 children's emotional competence (decoding and expressiveness). The supportive subscales (positively) and parental distress (negatively) predicted children's decoding, whereas emotional encouragement (positively) and nonsupportive parenting (negatively) predicte...","PeriodicalId":51527,"journal":{"name":"MARRIAGE AND FAMILY REVIEW","volume":"157 1","pages":"285-310"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2002-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J002V34N03_05","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66466206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Perhaps a more descriptive title for these essays, however, might be “How did I get HERE from THERE?!!” That is, the authors, in a number of these essays, seem amazed at how their choices, often seemingly at odds with previous academic experiences, resulted in academic careers in which they now study individuals and families. Reading these essays allows one to understand how fortuitous or unpredictable experiences and relationships helped to shape their lives and careers. As one reads these accounts, the authors often seem to be trying to make sense of the important “intersections” that provided incremental and successively new directions to their lives. Specifically, the concept of “life intersection” refers to points in life when specific directions were taken, some involving serendipity, sudden obstacles, or based on advice that was given. Different directions were taken by these authors at these intersections due largely to disconnected events, unanticipated happenings, forced circumstances, and fortunate contacts with friends or mentors. These individuals often pursued new pathways when they came to successive intersections in their lives, a process that eventually led them HERE. The pathways these authors pursued did not emerge from singleminded purposes, but were governed more by unanticipated circumstances. The stories that these individuals tell do not proceed according to clearly defined plots or some sense of purpose conveyed by more conventional novels about progress in life. Instead, the very process of telling their stories encourages them to assign meaning to their life ex-","PeriodicalId":51527,"journal":{"name":"MARRIAGE AND FAMILY REVIEW","volume":"37 1","pages":"1 - 7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2002-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J002v31n03_01","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66466287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
