Adaptation des adolescents au décès ou au divorce des parents
Une enquête auprès d'un échantillon représentatif de 5539 adolescents francophones de l'Ile de Montréal (du Secondaire I au Collégial II) révèle la présence de 446 enfants de parents divorcés (9,82%) et de 330 orphelins (7,27%). Des comparaisons simples suivies d'une comparaison contrôlée de ces deux groupes avec les adolescents vivant avec leurs deux parents montrent un patron régulier où ce sont les enfants du divorce qui se perçoivent comme le…
Que sait-on de l’expérience existentielle des parents des jeunes contrevenants
This research on 116 parents of young offenders from the Montreal Centre area indicates that delinquency and its consequences have a negative impact on most parents. Basic statistics are presented for stress, fatigue, health, and general happiness. In addition, qualitative data from the young offenders' official files corroborate these results and offer more details concerning the areas of parents' lives that are affected. This paper examines the…

The Effect of Male Delinquency on Mothers and Fathers: A Heuristic Study
This paper addresses some of the lacunas extant in the empirical literature on adolescents. The focus rests on studying the impact of juvenile delinquency not on adolescents, but on their parents. From an interactional perspective, adolescents are denned as proactive social actors who contribute to the quality of their family lives. A multisample, multimethod study of delinquents'parents is conducted and finds that parents are highly affected by …

Understanding and Evaluating Qualitative Research
During the past 6 years (1989-1994), the Journal of Marriage and the Family has published 527 articles. Only 10 or 1.9% were qualitative, either entirely (4) or partly (1), or in a combination of qualitative and quantitative data (5). Four other articles were based on qualitative data, but the results were entirely quantified. These four articles would raise the total of qualitative papers to 15 or 2.8%. These statistics are rather startling, esp…

An International Perspective on Parenting: Social Change and Social Constructs
In this article, three general areas of research and social concern pertaining to parenting are discussed within an international perspective focusing on recent social changes as well as on constructs of parenting. First, the combined example of the Western emphasis on mothering and on intense emotional bonding between parents and children is utilized to illustrate how the biases arising out of particular Western constructs affect research paradi…
A Qualitative Study of Peer Abuse and Its Effects: Theoretical and Empirical Implications
Peer is an underestimated and neglected social problem (e.g., Besag, 1989; Roland & Munthe, 1989; Tattum & Lane, 1989), usually approached in psychology as aggression (bullying) as well as victimization and rejection (e.g., Asher & Coie, 1990; Asher & Wheeler, 1985; Pepler & Rubin, 1991). Peer has rarely been analyzed from a sociocultural perspective (Olweus, 1991), and is not generally used as a distinct concept. It is not yet an accepted topic …

Relationship between Exspouses: Individual and Dyadic Perspectives
The ex-spousal relationship is one which is not frequently researched, in part because of the methodological difficulties inherent to interviewing both ex-spouses. In this exploratory report on 85 ex-couples, we found an impressive level of agreement concerning the normative aspects of the ex-spousal relationship. At the behavioral level, no matter how the data were analysed, post-marital harmony was a minority phenomenon. Contacts between ex-spo…

Adolescents' Overt Religiosity and Parents' Marital Status
In this study of a representative sample of Francophone adolescents living in Montreal, adolescents from separated/divorced families attended religious services less frequently than adolescents from widowed families. In contrast, adolescents living in legally intact families had the highest rate of church attendance. Gender differences and similarities are also presented. Overt religiosity is herein discussed in terms of its possible relevance to…
Being a Stepparent: Live-In and Visiting Stepchildren
Quantitative and qualitative data are presented to document certain aspects of the experience of stepparenting in a subsample of 109 stepparents. A focus is placed on the locale of residence of stepchildren as a variable affecting stepparents' marital life, attachment to stepchildren, and stepchildren 's relationships with stepparents' own children. For this sample, the stepparenting experience, particularly for stepmothers, was a more positive o…

L'étude des relations entre le statut marital des parents et divers aspects de la condition de vie de leurs enfants constitue un aspect important de la littérature sur la famille. Ce genre de recherche a été trop souvent menéà l'aide ‘d'échantillonages’ cliniques de parents et/ou d'enfants; de plus, ces études ont porté soit sur des families séparées/divorcées ou sur des families en veuvage. Ces recherches ont démontré que les enfants provenant d…
Longitudinal Changes in Children's Behavior toward Custodial Parents
This exploratory report is a follow-up of a group of initially separated single-parent families. The focus is on children's observed behavior toward three categories of custodial parents and on these parents' self-reported satisfaction with their children. Two and a half years had elapsed between the first and the second interviews. During that period parental satisfaction had increased for low-income and high-income custodial mothers, while cust…
