Parenthood and Commitment to the Legal Profession: Are Mothers Less Committed than Fathers? 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Jean E. Wallace 《Journal of Family and Economic Issues》2008,29(3):478-495
This research examined the relationship between parenthood and career commitment. Karasek’s (Administrative Science Quarterly 24:285–308, 1979) Job Demand-Job Control Model was used as a theoretic framework for hypothesizing the relationships between work and family
demands, job control and social support and parents’ career commitment. Questionnaire data from a sample of practicing lawyers
with children were used to test this model. The results show fathers generally reported more work demands than mothers; whereas,
mothers reported more family demands than fathers. Job control and social support did not moderate relationships between work
and family demands and parents’ career commitment. Perhaps the most surprising finding of this study, contrary to assumptions
in the literature and the workplace, was that mothers practicing law are significantly more committed to their careers than fathers. This paper closes by discussing possible explanations for these findings.

Women’s tendency to outperform men on measures of accuracy in interpreting the meaning of nonverbal behavior might be due to such measures being more congruent with women’s interpersonal goals than men’s. The present study examined undergraduate men’s and women’s (N = 41) nonverbal judgment accuracy on the Interpersonal Perception Task-15 (IPT-15; Costanzo & Archer, 1993 [.The interpersonal perception task-15 (IPT-15). Berkeley: University of California Center for Media and Independent Learning) when the purpose for using their judgment skills was manipulated to be either congruent or incongruent with stereotypic “masculine” and “feminine” interpersonal goals. Results showed that each gender was at a relative disadvantage in judgment accuracy in the gender-incongruent goal conditions: women were relatively less accurate when they thought the IPT-15 measured judgment skills of use to interrogators in the military, whereas men were relatively less accurate when they thought the IPT-15 measured judgment skills of use to social workers in the social services. Discussion centers on the importance of matching individuals’ interpersonal goals to the purpose goals of the measure when using measures of interpersonal sensitivity.

In recent years, American women’s housework time has declined while American men’s housework time has risen. We examine how
these changes have affected economic inequality in the United States. Using time-diary data from the Time Use in Economic
and Social Accounts, 1975–1976 (N = 1,484) and the American Time Use Survey, 2003 (N = 5,534), we value adults’ housework using two alternative methodologies and assess its influence on households’ real access
to goods and services in both years. Results suggest that housework reduces economic inequality in both years. But, between
1975–1976 and 2002–2003, overall economic inequality rose largely because of the growing wage inequality and also, in part,
because of growth in housework inequality. Socio-demographic change partially inhibited the overall growth in economic inequality.

Zelizer’s work may be read as an attack on the central Polanyian thesis: that the market system threatens social life by the
undue prominence it lends the economy in the organization of modern society. The recent publication of Viviana Zelizer’s The Purchase of Intimacy (2005a) is therefore an excellent opportunity to review the general trend of her work Zelizer 1979, 1985, 1994, and contrast her leading ideas to the central thesis that gives Polanyi’s work its particular flavor: the danger encapsulated
in the use of modern money and the functioning of the market system.
A draft of this essay was presented in March 2007 at a workshop held at the University of London, and a preliminary French
version has appeared in a special issue of the Revue du Mauss devoted to Polanyi’s thought (Vol. 29, June 2007). The present version is directed to Zelizer’s views on the relation between
market and society. I thank Franck Cochoy, Keith Hart, José Ossandon, and Viviana Zelizer for their helpful comments and advices.

A new version of the age-old controversy between religion and science has been launched by today’s intelligent design movement.
Although ostensibly concerned simply with combating Darwinism, this new creationism seeks to drive a “wedge” into the materialist
view of the world, originating with the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus and manifested in modern times by Darwin, Marx,
and Freud. Intelligent design proponents thus can be seen as challenging not only natural and physical science but social
science as well. In this article, we attempt to explain the long history of this controversy, stretching over millennia, and
to defend science (especially social science) against the criticisms of intelligent design proponents – by defending science’s
materialist roots.

Interdisciplinary foundations of urban ecology 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Robert F. Young 《Urban Ecosystems》2009,12(3):311-331
Researchers have identified urban ecology as a new field integrating social and ecological science. Critics have portrayed
the field as under-theorized with negative implications for research and urban environmental planning. Unprecedented urbanization
and historical bias against research integrating social and ecological systems are identified as driving this deficit. Researchers
have called for new integrative approaches to address this issue. In response, this paper applies ecology’s analytic framework
of “patch dynamics”, Kuhn’s concept of “normal science” and Mazoyer and Roudart’s “evolutionary series” to demographic data
and historical texts to perform an analysis of interdisciplinary contributions to theory applicable in the field of urban
ecology. The subsequent exploration reveals a rich history of interdisciplinary inquiry along the nature/society divide. The
paper concludes that these “largely ignored” contributions offer urban ecology the opportunity to claim much broader depth
as a field gaining access to precedents and innovations accomplished during the field’s early theoretical development. Drawing
upon this history, a framework for ecological urban development is suggested to inform and assist contemporary research in
urban ecology and planning.

This study explains why the power of neoliberal business over the Mexican state increased during the last three decades of
the twentieth century. It identifies three sources of increased neoliberal business power that occurred in conjunction with
neoliberal reforms: (1) active mobilization by neoliberal business, (2) increased access to the state by neoliberal business,
and (3) increased economic power of neoliberal business. It thereby contributes additional evidence that counters the view
of Mexico’s state neoliberalizers as acting autonomously from business. It further outlines two conditions that were instrumental
in bringing about the increased power of neoliberal business: the onset of economic crisis in the 1970s, and a shift in foreign
capital preferences in Mexico. The analysis demonstrates how Mexico’s sources and conditions of business power differed from
those in advanced industrial societies, and outlines why the Mexican case may be a good starting point for devising a historically-contingent
theory of business power in the semiperiphery.

This paper provides insight into the wage gap between lesbians and heterosexual women. Using data from the 2000 Decennial
Census, we find a lesbian premium that equals approximately 10% for women without a bachelor’s degree, and is nearly non-existent
for women with higher levels of education. These findings are consistent with proposition that the gap between lesbians’ and
heterosexual women’s commitment to the labor market narrows at higher levels of education. We also find that controls for
industry and occupation exert only a small effect on the gap between lesbian and heterosexual women’s wages.

Nathan D. Grawe 《Review of Economics of the Household》2008,6(1):29-45
The dominant economic theory of the family explains the negative correlation between family size and child achievement, a
‘quality–quantity trade-off’, through borrowing constraints and credit market failure. This paper presents a model in which
the opportunity cost of time spent with children is increasing, thus creating a trade-off even in economies with perfect credit
markets. While both produce a family size effect, temporal and financial constraints predict different patterns for the trade-off
across levels of parent income. Using data from the National Child Development Study, the trade-off is found even among high-earning
families who presumably do not face credit constraints. Moreover, the trade-off does not grow as parent earnings diminish.
Both of these findings suggest that temporal and not financial constraints explain the quality–quantity trade-off.

Pathways to the Clinician’s Experience of Empathy in Engaging Single Mothers at Risk for Physical Abuse of their Children 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lorraine R. Tempel 《Clinical Social Work Journal》2007,35(4):257-265
Based upon an analysis of interviews from a qualitative study with twelve agency-based clinical social workers, this paper
recounts three “situational pathways” through which these workers were able to experience empathy in the process of engaging
low-income single mothers whose presenting picture involved physical aggression toward their symptomatic children who the
workers were also seeing for therapy. The paper describes and utilizes self-psychological and intersubjective concepts to
understand the therapeutic contexts that may enhance the worker’s potential for experientially understanding the client’s
viewpoint. The relevance of the findings for practice and training is discussed.

China’s previous contract laws had many contradictions and failed to meet the needs of China’s developing market economy.
Although some problems still need to be dealt with, the unified contract law is more advanced, systematic and plays an important
role in fostering and encouraging transactions.

This paper concerns the author’s countertransference reflections on her work with a gay adolescent who identifies with powerfully
destructive internal objects, including Hitler and the Monster. The author describes her countertransference inquiry through
which she experiences her own potential destructiveness in order to help accommodate her adolescent patient’s rejected and
disowned self states.

Changing College Students’ Financial Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behavior through Seminar Participation 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Lynne M. Borden Sun-A Lee Joyce Serido Dawn Collins 《Journal of Family and Economic Issues》2008,29(1):23-40
This pilot study examined the influence of Credit Wise Cats, a financial education seminar presented by Students in Free Enterprise,
on the attitudes, knowledge, and intentions toward financial responsibility of college students (N = 93). Findings suggest that the seminar effectively increased students’ financial knowledge, increased responsible attitudes
toward credit and decreased avoidant attitudes towards credit from pre-test to post-test. At post-test, students reported
intending to engage in significantly more effective financial behaviors and fewer risky financial behaviors. Finally, demographic
factors (e.g., gender and employment status) predicted students’ financial knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. These results
suggest that a seminar format may be useful in reaching a wider audience of college students and, thus, warrants future longitudinal
evaluation.

Money Matters: Young Adults’ Perception of the Economic Consequences of their Parents’ Divorce 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Dorit Eldar-Avidan Muhammad M. Haj-Yahia Charles W. Greenbaum 《Journal of Family and Economic Issues》2008,29(1):74-85
A qualitative study examined the perceptions of 22 Israeli young adults (ages 20–25) of childhood parental divorce. Respondents
discussed their experiences, including economic consequences of the divorce. Results related to the practical aspect of economic
decline, to economic issues as embodiment of parental conflicts, and to children’s emotional and practical roles connected
to economic changes. Children’s understanding and coping with financial issues are related to three profiles of overall adjustment
identified in this study—resilience, survival, and vulnerability. Resilient young adults interpreted as empowering their understanding
and coping; the survivors recognized their efforts as meaningful but burdensome; and vulnerable participants felt that economic changes caused a heavy
financial and emotional price. Limitations and implications are discussed.

This paper provides a multilayered analysis of how lesbian mothers and gay fathers construct their families in a social context
that has been described by Steven Seidman (2004) as “beyond the closet.” We stress how our participants’ family-building experiences are comparable to other non-biologically
related families, but distinct due to heterosexual dominance. Using in-depth qualitative interviews with 18 lesbian birth
mothers and 22 gay fathers, the authors discuss how participants navigate heterosexual dominance in institutions and in personal
interactions.

Currie SR Hodgins DC Wang J el-Guebaly N Wynne H Miller NV 《Journal of gambling studies / co-sponsored by the National Council on Problem Gambling and Institute for the Study of Gambling and Commercial Gaming》2008,24(3):321-335
A set of low-risk gambling limits were recently produced using Canadian epidemiological data on the intensity of gambling
behavior and related consequences (Currie et al. Addiction 101:570–580, 2006). The empirically derived limits (gambling no more than two to three times per month, spending no more than $501–$100°CAN
per year or no more than 1% of gross income spent on gambling) accurately predicted risk of gambling-related harm after controlling
for other risk factors. The present study sought to replicate these limits on data collected in three independently conducted
Canadian provincial gambling surveys. Dose–response curves and logistic regression analyses were applied to gambling prevalence
data collected in surveys conducted in 2001–2002 within the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario (combined
sample N = 7,675). A comparable dose–response relationship between gambling intensity and risk of harm was found in each province.
The optimal thresholds for defining an upper limit of low-risk gambling were similar across the three provinces despite variations
in the availability and organization of legalized gambling opportunities within each region. These results provide additional
evidence supporting the validity of the low-risk gambling limits. Quantitative limits could be used to augment existing responsible
gambling guidelines.

Donald Winnicott’s work is rather well-known to most clinicians, and many of his concepts––e.g., facilitating environment,
spontaneous gesture, going-on-being, impingement, annihilation, True and False Self––are utilized clinically and theoretically.
Silvan Tomkins and his colleagues provide a profound understanding of the psychology of affect, and their work furnishes a
lens through which Winnicott’s ideas can be further appreciated. The author suggests such an integration is crucial not only
to deepening our understanding of Winnicott’s concepts, but also to enhancing the clinical dimension of affect theory. This
discussion also has important implications for social work with respect to both treatment issues as well as prevention and
early intervention programs.

Fairness considerations often are invoked to explain wage differences that appear unrelated to worker characteristics or job
conditions, but non-experimental tests of fair wage models are rare because market data rarely permit researchers to measure
individual workers’ productivity and its value. We use data from the baseball labor market to address this problem, and find
no support for fair wage theory. We do find, however, that fairness premia can be illusory: Wages appear to incorporate fairness
premia in regressions that control for variation in individuals’ physical output, but such premia evaporate when the value
of that output is held constant.
