A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Effectiveness of Health Rocks! —Insights from Retrospective and Prospective Studies
Languages of attachment: Personal and meta-narratives of rurality in Nebraska
Media and popular discourse about “Rural America” – including both positive and negative stereotypes – tend to homogenize the places and people associated with the rural United States and overpower the voices of those who inhabit those settings. As a partial corrective, this paper presents insights from an interview-based study with “stayers” and “leavers” of rural Nebraska communities. We draw on scholarship in cultural and rural geography, anth…
Parental Educational Involvement Among Filipino Parents: Exploring Motivators, Facilitators, and Barriers Related to Socioeconomic Status
The benefits of parental educational involvement (PEI) are well documented in the literature, specifically on children's learning outcomes and social‐emotional development. Thus, it is important to explore the factors that influence PEI. This paper is a qualitative study on the motivators, facilitators, and barriers to PEI among low‐income parents in the Philippines. Through purposive sampling, 31 parents were engaged in semi‐structured interview…
When something’s gotta give: Shifts and stability in parenting among migrants in four Filipino-American communities
The meanings and ways of parental involvement among low-income Filipinos
Rural communities as a context for entrepreneurship: Exploring perceptions of youth and business owners
Fictive Kinships and the Remaking of Family Life in the Context of Paid Domestic Work
For many migrants, mediated communication and other forms of contact can provide a means to maintain some semblance of family life across distance. For others, economic and other constraints can make meaningful long-distance connections challenging or impractical. This chapter highlights how some migrants reconfigure family life not by bridging physical distance with biological kin but by developing close connections in their host communities. Th…
Parenting From Afar and the Reconfiguration of Family Across Distance
The definition of family as a conjugal group consisting of parents and children living in the same household is in the process of a profound reworking, one that includes the constellation of family life that exists around the world. Increased migration and mobility have challenged traditional notions of what constitutes a family, yet much mainstream research relies on past notions of a cohesive unit under one domicile. Many families today are sep…
From bonds to bridges and back again: Co-ethnic ties and the making of Filipino community in Poland
Utilising indigenous Filipino psychology methods, this study examines the experiences of Filipino migrants in Poland, with a specific focus on the nature and function of their co-ethnic ties. The study is framed against the conceptual notion of bonding and bridging capital and strong and weak ties. Analysis of interview and focus group data suggests that respondents conceptualise co-ethnic ties in ways consistent with scholars’ definitions of bon…
Filipino Parenting in the USA: The Experiences of Filipino Mothers in Northern Nevada
Migration entails complex transformations in family functioning and dynamics, especially when traditional parenting beliefs and practices are not consistent with mainstream norms in the host country. Whereas some culturally embedded parenting beliefs might persist even after migration, others may acculturate or shift to align with child-rearing norms in the host community. Using a qualitative research design with elements of indigenous Filipino p…
Why I Sent My Child Away’: Culturally Structured Motivations for Long-distance Parenting
Although long-distance parenting is often depicted as a response to crisis (e.g., economic) or other stressful life events, it is sometimes undertaken in various culturally normative situations. This current study explores the motivations of South Asian Indian immigrant parents for sending their young children to India to live temporarily with their grandparents. This qualitative study involves in-depth interviews with first generation immigrant …
Yaya: Philippine Domestic Care Workers, the Children They Care for, and the Children They Leave Behind
The domestic and care labor sector is integral to the economic and social fabric of almost every nation. Although there has been increasing attention to the plight and experiences of international migrant workers within this field, less is known about the experiences of rural-to-urban migrants employed in this same sector. This study focuses on “yayas”—domestic workers caring for children in affluent families in the Philippines and draws from fie…
What Does it Mean to be Prosocial? A Cross-Ethnic Study of Parental Beliefs
This study explored parental beliefs surrounding prosocial behaviours and the parenting practices that promote them. A total of 47 mothers of young adolescents participated in one of the seven focus groups, three of which were conducted in Spanish with first-generation Mexican-American immigrants, two were conducted in English among second generation (US-born) Mexican Americans, and two were conducted with European Americans. Responses were coded…
Mexican Immigrant Families Crossing the Education Border: A Phenomenological Study
This phenomenological study examines Mexican immigrant parents' experiences of helping their children navigate and succeed in school and their perceptions regarding differences between the U.S. and Mexican educational systems. Findings highlight parents' challenges in helping their children succeed in a new and unfamiliar school system and the often serious implications for the success of their children. Challenges identified include language bar…
Conceptions Regarding Children’s Health: An Examination of Ethnotheories in a Sending and Receiving Community
Ethnotheories are beliefs that adults hold about children and the factors that impact upon their development. Scholars suggest that “ethnotheories” serve as cultural models that underlie motivations for parenting practices and the way adults organize children’s early experiences. This study examines Mexican adults’ ethnotheories about children’s health in two communities that are linked by transnational migrants and serve as sending and receiving…
Culture-Related Strengths Among Latin American Families: A Case Study of Brazil
We provide an analysis of culturally-specific strength characteristics associated with families in Brazil. The focus is on familism and familial interdependence, the role of the extended family, cooperative and prosocial tendencies, a collective orientation, and the closing gender gap. The article is divided into four sections. First, we provide some background information on the demographics and history of Brazil. Second, the family strength cha…
Religiosity, Values, and Horizontal and Vertical Individualism—Collectivism: A Study of Turkey, the United States, and the Philippines
The authors examined the links between two dimensions that have been useful in understanding cross-cultural differences and similarities, namely, individualism-collectivism (I-C) and value orientations. The authors examined the relations and parallels between the two variables by directly relating them and examining the patterns of relations that both have with a third variable, religiosity. Participants were 475 college students from the Philipp…
