Free play predicts self-regulation years later: Longitudinal evidence from a large Australian sample of toddlers and preschoolers
Self-regulation skills are foundational to successful participation in society, and predict a suite of positive outcomes throughout life. It has long been asserted that free (i.e., unstructured) play is important for the development of self-regulation, but studies investigating play and self-regulation have faced empirical limitations. The current study used a large sample (n = 2213) from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children to investiga…
Fatherhood, Motherhood and Time Pressure in Australia, Korea, and Finland
Using nationally representative Time Use Surveys from Australia, Korea, and Finland (n = 19,127 diaries) we examine how parenthood and the age of the youngest child are associated with the recuperative activities of leisure and sleep, the productive activities of market and nonmarket work, and with subjective time stress. Time stress differences by fatherhood are greatest for Finns and least for Koreans; time stress differences by motherhood are …
Child deprivation in Australia: A child‐focused approach
Income‐based studies of child poverty treat children and young people as effectively invisible and determine the poverty status of families or households on the basis of information that is provided by, and is primarily about, adults. In contrast, the consensual deprivation approach provides a way of developing measures that reflect the views of children about what constitutes poverty and can be applied to data that children themselves provide. T…
Feeling Rushed: Gendered Time Quality, Work Hours, Nonstandard Work Schedules, and Spousal Crossover
The authors investigated gender differences in couple parents' subjective time pressure, using detailed Australian time use data (n=756 couples with minor children). They examined how family demand, employment hours, and nonstandard work schedules of both partners relate to each spouse's non-employment time quality ("pure" leisure, "contaminated" leisure, multitasking housework, and child care) and subjective feelings of being rushed or pressed f…
Gender patterns in domestic labour among young adults in different living arrangements in Australia
Most research on gender divisions of housework focuses on couple and family households. This article extends this literature to examine gender differences in domestic labour across living arrangements, with particular focus on young adults. Using time-diary data from the nationally representative Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Time Use Survey (2006) it examines the amount and composition of domestic work performed by 20-34-year-olds ( n = …
Screen Media, Parenting Practices, and the Family Environment in Australia: A Longitudinal Study of Young Children's Media Use, Lifestyles, and Outcomes for Healthy Weight
n\t\t\t\t\tFew studies of media use and adiposity explore the influence of parenting on children’s lifestyle behaviors. Screen media access, bedroom television, lack of physical activity, and snacking on energy-dense foods have long been implicated in child overweight. This research used data from the first three waves of the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children to investigate, prospectively, the associations between parental practices in ea…

Weekend Work and Leisure Time With Family and Friends: Who Misses Out
The authors explored links between weekend work and leisure time shared with partners, children, other resident/nonresident family, and friends, using the Australian Bureau of Statistics Time Use Survey 2006. Drawing a sample of employed persons (n = 3,903), they tested associations between weekend work and shared leisure time on the day of work and to see whether shared leisure time is made up on other days over the following week. Analyses were…
How parents' income, time and job quality affect children's health and development
The advent of the Global Financial Crisis reminds us that modern epidemiological research has consistently demonstrated links between the socio‐economic circumstances of families and children's health and development. Drawing on data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children, this article firstly examines the evidence for intergenerational transmission of socio‐economic disadvantage from parents to young children. It then examines parent…
Comparisons of Tobit, Linear, and Poisson-Gamma Regression Models: An Application of Time Use Data
Time use data (TUD) are distinctive, being episodic in nature and consisting of both continuous and discrete (exact zeros) values. TUD is non-negative and generally right skewed. To analyze such data, the Tobit, and to a lesser extent, linear regression models are often used. Tobit models assume the zeros represent censored values of an underlying normally distributed latent variable that theoretically includes negative values. Both the linear re…

Do working mothers raise couch potato kids? Maternal employment and children's lifestyle behaviours and weight in early childhood
Enacting virtual connections between work and home
The potential for information and communication technologies to reorganize time and space has emerged as a key theme in social theory. Affordances of the Internet mean that it has the capacity to affect temporal and spatial boundaries dividing work and home. Some theorists express concern that this may extend work into times normally reserved for family life, while others argue the Internet can encourage flexible work practices and result in bett…
The mobile phone, perpetual contact and time pressure
Mobile phone services are now universally diffused, creating the possibility of perpetual contact, regardless of time and location. Many think the impossibility of being 'out of touch' leads to increased time pressure. In addition to claims that the mobile phone has led to harried leisure, others have argued that perpetual contact extends work into the home or intensifies work in other ways. In this article, these issues are explored using survey…
The Cell Phone, Constant Connection and Time Scarcity in Australia
Families without Borders: Mobile Phones, Connectedness and Work-Home Divisions
This article examines the widespread proposition that the mobile phone dissolves the boundaries that separate work and home, extending the reach of work. It analyses data derived from a purpose-designed survey to study social practices surrounding mobile phone use.The key components of the survey investigated here are a questionnaire and a log of phone calls retrieved from respondents' handsets. Rather than being primarily a tool of work extensio…
Reliability and validity of parental measurements of infant size
This study evaluates the reliability and validity of parental measurements of infant size, using illustrated instructions and simple measuring tools. Following pilot tests, final methods were evaluated on a sample of 28 parents (26 mothers and 2 fathers) of infants from 1 to 6 weeks of age. Parents independently measured twice the infant's head circumference (HC), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), abdominal circumference (AC), and recumbent len…

Techniques for Analyzing Focus Group Data
Focus groups are widely used in the field of public health as a quick, low-cost means of obtaining information from selected groups in the target population for programmatic purposes. Much has been written about techniques for conducting focus groups, but there is limited practical information on systematic analysis of the results. The current article outlines three methods of recording information from focus groups onto paper, as well as three t…
Characteristics of Contraceptive Acceptors in Lusaka, Zambia
This paper reports on a study conducted in Lusaka, Zambia in which 2,912 client records were examined in 22 randomly selected clinics throughout Lusaka Province. The purpose of the study was to assist the government and the local family planning association in targeting future efforts to extend services to underserved populations. Among newly enrolled acceptors in 1984, the study revealed a surprisingly low median age of 24 and a median parity of…

Polygyny and Family Planning in sub-Saharan Africa
The proportion of married persons in subSaharan Africa who are polygynous varies widely among nations and tribes and it is not clear whether the practice is increasing or decreasing. Polygyny is reported less frequently in towns than in rural areas; polygynous urban marriages may be sanctioned by tradition but not by law and thus are not likely to be reported on demographic surveys. Polygyny may be chosen for a variety of reasons including cultur…
Characteristics of Contraceptive Acceptors in Rural Zaire
Almost 15% of the women of childbearing age accepted modern contraception during the 1st 2 years of a program of contraceptive education and services in a remote rural area of Zaire. Family planning team members were widely known residents of the area. Their personal contact strongly influenced the acceptance and method of contraception chosen by local women. The acceptors averaged 7 pregnancies and 5 living children and generally wanted a total …
