Unscripted and Improvised: Public and Private Celebrations of Same-Sex Relationships
This article explores how 22 British same-sex couples define and make meaning of the notion of relationship celebrations. Drawing on interview data from a wider study of same-sex relational practices, we explore the participants’ varied experiences of celebrating their relationship. Some had created public or private rituals (one-off and recurrent) that were both intensely personally meaningful and had a strong political dimension. Many highlight…
Money Management and Views of Civil Partnership in Same-Sex Couples: Results from a UK Survey of Non-Heterosexuals
Recent legislation in the UK has extended many of the legal and financial rights and responsibilities of heterosexual marriage to same-sex couples who register their partnerships. Prior to the Civil Partnership Act (2004) however, little was known about financial arrangements in same-sex couples, nor the extent to which these mirrored those of married or cohabiting heterosexuals. This paper reports the findings from the first large-scale survey i…
Who would take whose name?’ Accounts of naming practices in same‐sex relationships
The practice of a woman assuming her husband's last name upon marriage is a deeply embedded norm in some countries. Whether or not individual heterosexual couples reproduce or resist this practice, it provides a context for making decisions about marital names. No conventions, other than heteronormative ones, govern naming practices in same‐sex relationships and families, but very little is known about name changing in these contexts. This paper …

All My Worldly Goods I Share with you'? Managing Money at the Transition to Heterosexual Marriage
Studies in the 1980s and 1990s revealed that financial arrangements in marriage tended to disadvantage women, especially those with young children. However, much of that research focused upon relatively well-established married (or remarried) couples, and we have little insight into the choices that today's newly-weds are making, or what influences their choices. To address this gap in our understanding, in-depth, semi-structured interviews were …
A qualitative study of adaptation to the euro in the Republic of Ireland: I. attitudes, the ‘euro illusion’ and the perception of prices
This is the first of two reports of a study using semi‐structured, in‐depth interviews to explore the current and recollected experiences of Irish people for the period before, during, and after the introduction of euro notes and coins (1 January 2002). Twenty‐four adults, 12 males and 12 females, covering a range of ages and educational attainment, were interviewed between October 2002 and February 2003. We found that most had welcomed the new c…
Deciding to give to charity: A focus group study in the context of the household economy
Research on charitable giving has tended to examine either the individual characteristics of donors, or those of households. However, both approaches overlook the interactive processes that take place within households which may influence charitable donation in a variety of ways. For example, the system of financial organisation adopted by a couple can set limits on the degree of individual financial autonomy, and this in turn can influence the f…

Views of Marriage and Divorce: An In-Depth Study of Young Adults from Intact and Divorced Families
Studies have suggested that parental divorce has a negative impact on their children's views of marriage and family life. However, much research has focused upon younger children, and few studies have compared young people from divorced and intact families. This paper reports an in-depth analysis of the views of young people with divorced and still-married parents, on marriage, divorce, and future marital intentions. Data from 20 semi-structured …
Tax communication and social influence: Evidence from a British sample
An in-depth, semi-structured, interview study was conducted with 23 British employed and self-employed taxpayers in various occupations. The study points to factors discouraging tax communication and proposes social norms as an alternative way of investigating social influence on taxpaying behaviour.

Perceptions, Attributions and Policy in the Economic Domain: A Theoretical and Comparative Analysis
This paper proposes and tests a causal path model for the influence of perceived economic justice upon support for government intervention aimed at reducing inequality. These constructs were linked by a pair of indirect pathways, mediated by social and individual attributions for poverty and wealth, and supplemented by a direct path. According to the model, the respective influences of economic justice upon individual and social attributions were…
What Is and What Ought to Be Popular Beliefs About Distributive Justice in Thirteen Countries
This paper tests two of the major theses in the literature on popular beliefs about distributive justice, using attitudinal data from linked sample surveys fielded in thirteen established Westerndemocratic and newly post-communist industrial nations. One is the speculation that levels of public support for distributions in accordance with desert-type criteria may be radically reduced in non-market societies. The other is the suggestion that belie…

Distributive Justice and Rationing in the NHS: Framing Effects in Press Coverage of a Controversial Decision
Despite moves towards more openness over the allocation of treatment in the National Health Service (NHS), the public remains dependent upon the media for most of its information. This paper concerns the issue of rationing and how this was represented in newspaper articles following a controversial decision by a health authority to withhold a particular treatment from a 10-year old girl suffering from leukaemia. Relevant articles on this issue fr…
Money in Remarriage: Keeping Things Simple - And Separate
This paper investigates money matters in remarried couples. The number of such couples is on the increase, and their financial affairs are likely to be more complex and conflictual than for first-married couples, but there has been little research attention paid to this group in Britain. The present study explores patterns of control and management of money by means of data from semi-structured interviews with 20 couples in which one partner or b…
Social Class and Underclass in Britain and the USA
It is commonly argued that the research programme of class analysis is undermined by its appararent neglect of large numbers of economically-inactive adults who do not form part of the analysis, but are affected by class processes, and form distinctive elements within any class structure. This paper disputes the claim that welfare dependents, the retired, and domestic housekeepers show distinctive patterns of socio-political class formation. Nor …

Class, Gender, and the Asymmetry Hypothesis
This paper reviews three interconnected issues that have been central to the controversial problem of describing the relationship between class and gender. First, the matter of taxonomy, and whether or not extant class schemes are suitable for the study of women's employment. Second, the question of how sex segregation in the occupational structure relates to regimes of class inequality and class mobility; more specifically, of the connections be…
Distributive justice in marriage: Equality or equity
Experimental studies of distributive justice suggest that men prefer an equity rule for allocating rewards, whereas women prefer equality. These differences are likely to carry implications for distributive justice in the context of marriage. There is a popular view in Western societies that marriage should be regarded as a partnership of equals, and this is also an implicit assumption in microeconomic accounts of the family. However, inequality …
Money in Marriage: How Patterns of Allocation Both Reflect and Conceal Power
This paper examines perceptions of money within marriage, focusing upon the concepts of control and ownership. It considers the criteria involved in Pahl's (1983; 1989) typology for the allocation of income, and their ability to capture the dynamic perceptual elements associated with change. These issues were explored by means of data from semi-structured interviews, using mainly middle-class couples (thirteen women and nine of their partners) in…

Enforcing Child Support Obligations: The Attitudes of Separated Fathers
In the UK the 1991 Child Support Act has introduced major changes to the way in which the state intervenes in the financial support of children when their parents separate. The new approach requires much higher payments from separated parents (in most cases fathers) and enforces these payments much more rigorously than in the past. However, although research shows that most separated fathers did not pay regular child maintenance under the old sys…
