Joni Hersch 《Review of Economics of the Household》2009,7(2):159-178
Using data from the American Time Use Survey for the years 2003–2006, this paper finds that housework has a negative relation
with wages for both women and men. The negative relation between housework time and wages is not likely to arise from omitted
working conditions that are correlated with housework, nor from omitted effort. For women, the negative relation between housework
and wages appears in most occupations, including professional and managerial occupations. The connection of housework time
to the ‘lack of interest’ argument proposed by defendants in class action sex discrimination cases is examined and is not
supported by the evidence.

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.

When parents are suspected of child abuse or neglect, their children may be placed with foster families. We estimate the relationship
between the monthly subsidies paid to foster families and the quantity of foster care services provided. The empirical model
uses variation in subsidies and foster care populations within 37 states and the years 1987–1995. One innovation in our approach
is that we exploit the idea that states do not appear to set market clearing rates, as evidenced by a foster home shortage
during this time period. In this case of excess demand, variation in the monthly subsidy traces out the supply curve. Our
results show that states with high demand may be able to use economic incentives to recruit foster families.

This study based on a sample of 429 Beijing high school students shows that Chinese urban adolescents’ purchasing involvement
can be predicted by the adolescents’ self-esteem. Individuals’ self-evaluation motivates them to get involved in family purchasing
activities. This study suggests that Chinese consumer involvement is potentially shaped by both cognitive factors (e.g., self-esteem)
and social factors (e.g., media use). However, the study indicates that exposure to American mass media does not have significant
impact on adolescents’ family purchasing involvement. This finding raises possibilities for further investigation in the area.
Limitations and suggestions for future studies are provided.

Social Enterprise in the United States and Europe: Understanding and Learning from the Differences 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Janelle A. Kerlin 《Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations》2006,17(3):246-262
Since the 1980s both the United States and Europe have experienced a simultaneous expansion in social enterprise. However, little has been written comparing and contrasting American and European conceptions of social enterprise resulting in difficulty communicating on the topic and missed opportunities to learn and build on foreign experience. To address this need, this paper compares and contrasts American and European social enterprise through an extensive review of literature from the two regions and discussions with social enterprise researchers on both sides of the Atlantic. It outlines the definitions of social enterprise used by American and European academics and practitioners, identifies historical factors promoting and shaping different conceptions of social enterprise, and highlights the differing institutional and legal environments in which it operates. It concludes by identifying what Americans and Europeans can learn from each others’ experience with social enterprise.

This study examined the microinteractions of pedestrians in Japan and in the United States as they walked past a confederate.
Specifically, the effects of culture, condition (avoid, look-only, and look plus smile) and sex of confederate on glances,
smiles, nods, and greetings by passing pedestrians were examined in a field study on over 1000 participants. The hypotheses
of (1) lower responsiveness in Japanese pedestrians than in American pedestrians and (2) increased responsiveness as a function
of condition were supported in a series of log-linear analyses of pedestrian glances, smiles, nods, and greetings. Both of
these main effects were, however, qualified by Culture X Condition interactions on smiles, nods, and greetings, with the large
condition effects present in the American pedestrians, but absent in the Japanese pedestrians. The results are discussed in
terms of the functions of glances, smiles, nods, and greetings in these brief encounters and how differing cultural norms
affect Japanese and American responsiveness. Finally, the limitations of this study and the broader utility of this research
paradigm are discussed.

Financial Issues Associated with Having a Child with Autism 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Data from the Family Experiences with Autism Survey are used to identify factors associated with financial problems in families
that have a child with autism. Likelihood of financial problems was positively associated with use of medical interventions,
having unreimbursed medical or therapy expenses, and having relatively lower income. Use of speech and language therapy was
negatively associated with likelihood of financial problems. Many survey respondents forfeited future financial security and
even experienced bankruptcy to provide needed therapy for a child with autism. Specific ways that financial advisors can help
families that have a child with autism are outlined.

This paper presents the analysis of sigma (σ) and unconditional beta (β) convergences of per capita GDP among the ten European
countries which accessed the European Union in 2004. Our results confirm the existence of both types of convergence in the
second half of the 1990s and the 2000s, whereas in the first half of the 1990s, the countries rather diverged or at least
did not converge. Generally, the poorer and new EU member states grew faster than the richer new EU member states. As a result,
the income gap between these countries has decreased although it still remains quite large. The convergence occurred at the
rate of 2.87% during the years 1995–2006 and 3.23% during 1996–2006.

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.

What is child care? Lessons from time-use surveys of major English-speaking countries 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This paper examines the definition and measurement of time devoted to child care in the diary-based surveys administered by
the United States, Canada, Australia, and Great Britain. Detailed analysis of the relationship between measures of care activity
and supervisory care in the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) illustrate the larger conceptual issues at stake.

Shame – a feeling of social inadequacy and (the anticipation of) public humiliation – may inhibit worker activism. This article
discusses the role of shame, as an emotion and a behavioral disposition, in face-to-face confrontations between workers and
employers, embedded in an authority structure marked by patron-clientage and personal dependency. It explores how shame may
function as an obstacle to face-to-face confrontations and claim-making, and how workers and leftwing activists try to overcome
this hurdle.

Historic changes within the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA) in the 1980s eventually allowed social workers and
other non-medical professionals to train in clinical psychoanalysis as regular “candidates”. The steps to work through organizational
resistance to this change are traced. The present level of activity of those analysts who began as social workers is discussed,
with numeric data showing expansion of involvement in training and organizational life. Analysts with a background in social
work are beginning to make significant positive contributions to APsaA. There is a more rapid pace of inclusion of analysts
from social work in the governance side of APsaA than the educational. The ultimate impact on the organization is difficult
to anticipate.

Evidence for the ingroup advantage hypothesis in recognizing emotions comes from studies using specific types of posed expressions.
A proposed source of this advantage has been culturally-specific ways of expressing emotions, known as cultural dialects (Elfenbein
et al. Emotion 7(1):131–146, 2007). But to date, no study has used spontaneously produced expressions as stimuli in testing
the hypothesis. We do so here. American and Japanese observers judged expressions produced by American and Japanese athletes
immediately at the completion of a medal match from the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. The ingroup hypothesis was not supported,
suggesting that it occurs when posers mime an expression, but not when they spontaneously produce it in real life.

Close to Home: A Simultaneous Equations Model of the Relationship Between Child Care Accessibility and Female Labor Force Participation 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Rising rates of maternal employment among current and former welfare recipients have increased the use of non-parental child
care. Little empirical work examines the relationship between women’s labor supply and the geographic supply of child care.
We combine census data with child care provider information for the state of Maryland to explore the relationship between
female labor supply and the geographic supply of child care. OLS and 3-SLS equations are estimated, and the findings are consistent
across each estimator: Women’s labor supply is sensitive to the geographic supply of child care and vice versa. These results
are important because states now spend significant money on quality improvement initiatives, many of which increase child
care supply in low-income neighborhoods.

Transference enactments play a central role in clinical supervision regardless of whether supervisors or supervisees consciously
recognize or acknowledge their presence. Supervisors who do recognize enactments better understand the core issues that interfere
with supervisees’ capacity to relate therapeutically to patients. Supervisory process is markedly enhanced when supervisors
consciously study manifestations of transference within the supervisory relationship and respond to them correctively. Corrective
interventions, whether purposeful or unintentional, expand supervisees’ relational and self-reflective capacities.

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.

Dissociation,Traumatic Attachments,and Self-Harm: Eating Disorders and Self-Mutilation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Sharon K. Farber 《Clinical Social Work Journal》2008,36(1):63-72
Self-harm, such as eating disorders and self-mutilation, represents dissociated compensatory attempts to serve self-regulatory
functions. Self-harm develops when the child who has become attached to those who have inflicted pain and suffering maintains
that attachment by inflicting pain on himself. Brain imaging studies have found that the communication pattern between parent
and child shapes the way the child’s attachment system adapts to experiences with the attachment figure, literally hardwiring
the child’s brain. The good news is that a safe and secure attachment is very good medicine and can rewire the brain. An attachment-based
multi-phase approach to treatment is presented.
