Forty Canadian mothers of children 9-13 years of age participated for one week in a study focused on parents' exper…
A Qualitative Exploration of Factors That Affect Sexual Desire Among Men Aged 30 to 65 in Long-Term Relationships
Few empirical studies have explored men's experiences of sexual desire, particularly in the context of long-term relationships. The objective of the current study was to investigate the factors that elicit and inhibit men's sexual desire. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 30 men between the ages of 30 and 65 (average age 42.83 years) currently in long-term heterosexual relationships (average duration 13 years 4 months). Analysis was c…
She is Too Young for These Chores’ — Is Housework Taking a Back Seat in Urban Chinese Childhood
The child in contemporary urban China is experiencing an increasingly exclusive focus on academic achievement at the expense of non‐academic activities, particularly housework. In‐depth interviews with caregivers (including grandparents and parents) from 9 three‐generational families (n = 34) and parents from 10 nuclear families (n = 20) were conducted. Results show that although children from both family types were low in housework participation…
Adolescent Perspectives on Rules and Resistance Within the Parent-Child Relationship
Thirty-two adolescents between the ages of 13 and 19 participated in a semistructured interview regarding their perspectives on parental expectations and their strategies for expressing resistance. Thematic analyses indicated that adolescents perceive parental expectations as flexible and coconstructed rather than as firm, explicit, standing rules. Adolescents described their strategies for expressing resistance as multifaceted, consisting of ove…
Early education teachers’ conceptualizations and strategies for managing closeness in child care: The personal domain
This study investigated teachers’ experiences of closeness during interactions with children in child care. Structured interviews were conducted with 24 female teachers who were teaching children between the ages of three and five (mean age = 3.9) regarding their conceptions of closeness, and their perceptions of their own and the child’s contributions to close interactions. Qualitative analyses of the interviews revealed a relational model of te…
Mothers' and Fathers' Perceptions of Mutuality in Middle Childhood: The Domain of Intimacy
This study investigated parents' experiences of closeness in their interactions with their children in middle childhood. Structured, open-ended interviews were conducted with mothers and fathers from 23 families (46 participants) with children aged between 7 and 11 years ( M = 9.2 years). Qualitative analyses indicated that parents' experiences of close interactions were consistent with an underlying construct of parent-child intimacy. Parents re…
Does anyone know what is going on? Examining children's lived experience of the transition into foster care
Agency and Power of Single Children in Multi-Generational Families in Urban Xiamen, China
This paper examines ethnographic data collected over six months from Xiamen, China, on children as active agents in their relationships with their parents and grandparents. It explicates the usefulness of the conceptual tools of ‘agency’ and ‘interdependent power’ derived from social relational theory in demonstrating the bilateral influences between children, grandparents and parents. Ways in which children’s agency is enhanced in their interact…
We care about care: Advice by children in care for children in care, foster parents and child welfare workers about the transition into foster care

Beyond Bidirectionality: Bilateral Conceptual Frameworks for Understanding Dynamics in Parent-Child Relations
New Directions in Analyses of Parenting Contributions to Children's Acquisition of Values
Traditional theories of how children acquire values or standards of behavior have emphasized the importance of specific parenting techniques or styles and have acknowledged the importance of a responsive parent–child relationship, but they have failed to differentiate among forms of responsiveness, have stressed internalization of values as the desired outcome, and have limited their scope to a small set of parenting strategies or methods. This p…
The Question of Ownness: Influence of Relationship Context on Parental Socialization Strategies
A relational perspective on socialization explores how the distinctive parent-child relationship context affects the dynamics of parent-child interactions. Forty mothers responded to hypothetical transgressions involving short-term and long-term socialization issues in three different relationship contexts: their own child, their child's best friend, and an unfamiliar child. Mothers reported different affective reactions, socialization goals, and…
Beyond One Hand Clapping: Seeing Bidirectionality in Parent-Child Relations
This article discusses the dynamic that exists between interactions and relationships and explores the implications of this dynamic for the systematic study of bidirectionality in parent child relations. Global perspectives on relationships emphasize coherence and stable causes but often neglect origins in social interactions. Research on social interactions emphasizes bidirectionality and agency but often neglects the relationship context. A mod…
Development of children's noncompliance strategies from toddlerhood to age 5
Noncompliance strategies for asserting autonomy were examined. Ss were depressed and well mothers and their children, who were 1 to 3 years old at Time 1 and 5 years old at Time 2. Data were coded from spontaneous interactions in a naturalistic setting
A developmental interpretation of young children's noncompliance
Development and content of imitation in the second and third years of life: A socialization perspective
Normal and affectively ill mothers' beliefs about their children
Normal, unipolar, and bipolar depressed women were studied to determine whether depressive cognitive schemas extend to the perception of one's own child. Depressed and well mothers reported equal satisfaction with their children, but the depressed group was less satisfied with the children's socioaffective than their cognitive development. The depressed mothers experienced a greater degree of helplessness regarding their children, and were more l…
Children's misbehaviors and parental discipline strategies in abusive and nonabusive families
Patterns of Attachment in Two- and Three-Year-Olds in Normal Families and Families with Parental Depression
Patterns of attachment were examined in normal and depressed mothers. Mother's diagnosis (bipolar, major unipolar, or minor depression, or no psychiatric disorder), self-reported current mood states, and affective behavior in interaction with the child were considered. A modified version of Ainsworth and Wittig's Strange Situation was used to assess attachment. Insecure (A, C, and A/C patterns) attachments were more common among children of mothe…

Socialization goals and mother-child interaction: Strategies for long-term and short-term compliance
Learning resistance to temptation through observation
An adult model and 4- to 5-year-old children were tempted to deviate by a talking table. On both an immediate and a delayed test, children who had seen the model yield deviated more quickly and for a longer period of time than children in a control group who had not seen a model. Children who had seen the model resist deviated less quickly and worked longer at a boring task. In a second study with 5- to 8-year-olds, the tempting was done by a you…
