Results indicated that mothers and daughters differed significantly on one measure of autonomy (Family of Origin Scale) and conflict (Mother-Daughter Conflict Scale). No differences between mothers and daughters were found for measures of attachment, intimacy and self-esteem. Findings suggest close attachments yet differences reflective of individuation.","PeriodicalId":51527,"journal":{"name":"MARRIAGE AND FAMILY REVIEW","volume":"27 1","pages":"37-49"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"1998-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J002V27N01_04","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66463186","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}

Using child care centers located at or near work and dissatisfaction with child care increased the level of expenditures per child for child care services. Lower expenditures on child care services were associated with using in own home care located at or near school, having older preschoolers, being in the three middle-range income brackets, and having a partner working part-time. These results suggest the need for a variety of child care solutions and arrangements.","PeriodicalId":51527,"journal":{"name":"MARRIAGE AND FAMILY REVIEW","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"1998-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J002v27n01_10","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66463454","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}

It was found that congruence was positively related to marital adjustment and negatively related to the desire for spousal change, although this relation was statistically significant only at one month of marriage. Few gender differences were found, although a consistent relation between wife'S desire for spousal change and husband'S marital adjustment was found. Findings can be taken to suggest that successful couples make adaptations within their marital systems and that initial expectations are not predictive of marital adjustment during the first year of marriage.","PeriodicalId":51527,"journal":{"name":"MARRIAGE AND FAMILY REVIEW","volume":"27 1","pages":"91-112"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"1998-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J002V27N01_07","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66463197","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}

Approximately 21% of marriages end within the first two years and 40% end by the fourth year. The consequences for individuals and their families affect emotional well-being, financial stability, and child development. A sample of 93 couples participated in a study in which data were collected on marriage at five intervals between one month and two years. During the first months, age, income, and education have some impact on marital adjustment but this influence weakens in time. Examining results across the two year interval suggests that interpersonal trust, desired spousal behavior change, and emotional maturity are highly associated with marital adjustment. In particular, marital processes of interpersonal trust and desired spousal behavior change at one month are predictive of marital adjustment at two years.","PeriodicalId":51527,"journal":{"name":"MARRIAGE AND FAMILY REVIEW","volume":"27 1","pages":"113-130"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"1998-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J002V27N01_08","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66463277","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}

The relationship between the SOC of both spouses and their adjustment to a postmarital disability of one partner was examined within the interpersonal context of the marital relationship, incorporating an environmental perspective. Two groups of subjects were assessed: the individuals with disability and their spouses. The dominant disabilities were Spinal Cord Injury and CVA, all resulting in some form of paralysis. The SOC was found to be significantly associated with adjustment, and positive correlations existed between the SOC of both partners as well as between the adjustment of both, indicating that the reciprocal relations are explained beyond the personal variables. The practical and theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.","PeriodicalId":51527,"journal":{"name":"MARRIAGE AND FAMILY REVIEW","volume":"27 1","pages":"71-90"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"1998-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J002V27N01_06","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66463536","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}

This paper investigates the impact of these changes on the Saudi family in general and women in particular. Data were collected from questionnaires and interviews of 95 Saudi working women in Riyadh city, the capital of Saudi Arabia. This study reports that not all aspects of the Saudi family have changed in the same degree. Marital aspects such as housing, home appliances, furniture, and brideprice have changed faster than cultural ones, such as marriage pattern, roles, attitudes towards the sexual division of labor and authority in the family. One important change, however, that has taken place in the Saudi family is the dynamic of the marital relationship. Whereas traditionally this relationship was characterized by the exaggerated respect wives were expected to show their husbands in their daily interactions, nowadays a mutual respect and understanding is increasingly evident in the relationship.
