A Reorientation of Worldview
We report on a Canadian partnership-based, multiyear, multisite project that examined the diverse experience of father involvement. Based on a sample of 215 fathers, an analysis team identified key themes of father involvement. Qualitative interviews were conducted within seven, geographically dispersed groups that included new fathers, young fathers, immigrant fathers, gay fathers, fathers of children with special needs, indigenous fathers, and …
Changing patterns of family time in adolescence
Drawing on 20 qualitative family interviews with mothers, fathers, and adolescents (aged 16 to 19 years), we explore the experiences of time in parent-adolescent relationships. Changing time patterns comprised of a range of times including time spent together and apart, and more ambiguous times which incorporate elements of both being together and apart are described by participants. These descriptions highlight not only the amount of time and in…
Parents and Adolescents Making Time Choices
Drawing on 20 qualitative family interviews with mothers, fathers, and adolescents (aged 16 to 19 years), this study explores the time choices of parents and adolescents. Adolescents and their parents talk about having varying degrees of control over their time in response to external demands. They identify that they initiate time together and apart from each other to meet specific individual and relational needs. Time choices are made within the…
Fathers' Perceptions of Children's Influence
In this article, the authors report on a qualitative analysis of how a diverse sample of fathers perceives the influence of their own children on their identity and development. The data were collected within a large partnership-based, multiyear, multisite research project carried out in Canada as a community-university collaboration. Specifically, the data were collected from interviews with 215 fathers across seven cluster sites in Canada. Fath…
Deconstructing Family Time
Family time" is often uncritically accepted as a uniform, coherent concept and a universally desirable goal. In order to fully understand the meaning of family time in experience, interviews were conducted with parents in 17 dual-earner and 11 single-parent families, and 8 observation episodes were done with 4- and 5-year-old children in childcare. What emerged was a dramatic discordance between the expectations and experiences of family time. Al…
Key Issues in Adoption Legislation
This paper examines the underlying assumptions associated with two key areas of adoption legislation where there is variation across jurisdictions and calls for change. These legislative issues are consent and openness. In each area, there is very little social research which might otherwise offer insight into how to best formulate legislation in a way that would serve the needs of various members of the adoption experience. The primary goal of t…
Spending Time with the Kids
Based on intensive, qualitative interviews with 32 men, this study reports on meanings of time for fathers from intact families with young children (under age of 6). Men's experience of time provides some insight into why they have been slow to increase their time commitment to family activities, even when their wives enter labor force. The fathers in this study believed in priority of spending time with their children but, at same time, lamented…
Changing Fatherhood
Canadian Adoption Statistics
Patterns of adolescent pregnancy resolution have changed dramatically over the past 30 years. Contrary to popular belief, there has been a decrease in the fertility rate among adolescents. In the United States, the fertility rate for adolescents aged from 15 to 19 has dropped from 97.3 per 1000 in 1957 to 51.7 in 1983 (Vinovskis, 1988). This parallels a similar, although less steep trend in Canada where there were 53.4 pregnancies per 1000 in 197…
Adolescent Perceptions of Adoption
This research examines the attitudes and perceptions that adolescents have of adoption. Of particular interest is how these attitudes might help to explain the decline in the choice of the adoption alternative as a way of resolving an unplanned pregnancy. Although participants appear to have generally favorable attitudes toward adoption, there were high levels of uncertainty about how parents and friends would feel about adoption. In relation to …
Qualitative methods in family research
The Adoption Alternative for Pregnant Adolescents
It is estimated that approximately 3% of pregnant adolescents who carry to term will place their infant for adoption. Birth mothers who place for adoption have higher socioeconomic indices and are less influenced by a negative social network than are those who keep the child. As a result of placing an infant, birth mothers may experience an enduring sense of loss. This is exacerbated by the social blocking of open grieving and restricted opportun…

Natural Family Planning
Little research has been done on social-psychological variables related to the use of natural family planning. The objective of this study was to analyze variables that differentiated between continuers and discontinuers of natural family planning (NFP). Questionnaires were obtained from couples who had received instruction in the sympto-thermal method of natural family planning at a large urban hospital. Subjects who were attempting to become pr…
