Implications of parents’ work travel on youth adjustment
Guided by ecological, work-family spillover and crossover frameworks, this study examined mechanisms linking parental work travel (i.e., nights per year) to youth adjustment (i.e., externalizing and internalizing behaviours) through youth's perceptions of parenting (i.e., knowledge, solicitation) with traveller and youth gender as moderators in a sample of 78 children in 44 two-parent families residing in the United States. The findings from mult…
Children's Experiences of Time When a Parent Travels for Work
This qualitative study focuses on the different ways time is experienced by children in families who face time challenges because of a family member's job that required work travel. Data are from a family-level study that includes interviews of all family members older than age 7. Using grounded theory methodology, this study illustrates the ways in which job demands and family processes interact. The analysis centers on 75 children's perspective…

This study addresses how couples experiencing work travel demands talk about their relationship. Using a sample of 29 couples who experience work travel, this study examines what couples in separate interviews reported regarding their relationship, and uses mixed‐method strategies to develop a typology of couples. Three different relationship types were uncovered: aware couples who consider a variety of aspects of themselves, their partners, thei…

Journeys to remain childless
The goal of this study was to illuminate the processes of how spouses reach an agreement to remain childless, specifically finding out what spouses do, say, and feel in the process using grounded theory methods. This study conceptualized reaching an agreement not to have children as a dyadic process. Based on in-depth conjoint interviews with 20 married couples, 3 decision-making types were identified: mutual early articulator couples, mutual pos…
The Impact of Work-Family Conflict and Facilitation on Women's Perceptions of Role Balance
This study investigated married women's feelings of balance between their occupational and family roles. Data from 274 married and full-time employed women were collected and structural equation modeling techniques were used to assess the connection between their work and leisure lives, work-family conflict and work-family facilitation, and role balance. Women's satisfaction with their experiences at work and at home, the time they spent in each …
Recession Jitters Among Professional Class Families
In a follow-up study of family members who participated in a previous study of high work demands, 130 participants from 71 families responded to questions about recent changes in work and financial well-being, as well as daily family adaptations associated with the recession. The general portrait of the families who belonged to an emergent professional class was of relative stability in their work situations. Nevertheless, a substantial percentag…
The occurrence and frequency of overnight job travel in the USA
This study examined to what extent gender, occupation and family situations influenced the occurrence and frequency of overnight work-related travel that US employees experienced. Unlike previous work, the data analysis allowed for differentiation of the factors associated with being in jobs with any overnight travel demand and the factors related to how frequently respondents travelled. This study particularly tested the hypotheses of occupation…
Clergy Who Experience Trauma as a Result of Forced Termination
The Perceptions of Terminated Ministers Scale—Revised
Forced Termination of American Clergy
Forced termination of clergy involves constant negativity found in personal attacks and criticism from a small congregational faction. The minister feels psychologically pressured to step down from the ministry position and this process is often demeaning to the emotional and physical well-being of the minister. The prevalence of forced termination among clergy has ranged from 25% among many denominations to 41% among Assemblies of God ministers.…

Are Mothers Really 'Gatekeepers' of Children
Guided by symbolic interactionism, this qualitative study based on interviews with 83 rural mothers investigated mothers' perceptions of nonresident fathers' involvement in low-income families. Contrary to some fathers' claims that mothers 'gatekeep' their access to children, the majority of mothers in our study wanted increased father involvement. The mothers' desire for active father-child interaction was not dampened by their frustration at th…
The Royal We
Family rituals provide a rich context in which to study the relation between ideology and action. Guided by the gender perspective, this article analyzes the experiences of 21 newly married heterosexual couples who described how they planned their weddings. The interplay among gender ideology, gender display, and gender assessment differed across three types of couples: traditional ( n = 6), transitional ( n = 10), and egalitarian ( n = 5). An ex…
Parenting After Divorce
Nonresidential parents are in a precarious position as by definition they are outside of the family residence after divorce and hence often perceived as outside of the family system. Semi-structured qualitative telephone interviews with 36 nonresidential parents living 50 or more miles from their children revealed social and institutional systems provide both assistance and barriers to parents following divorce. The challenge of continuing with t…
Remarriage
Marriage is a desired state by most Americans. This belief extends to those who have had a marriage fail. Much of the increase in divorce and remarriage in the last twenty years can be attributed to the baby boom cohort. This study examines remarriage in a sample of 62 baby boom cohort women. The following hypothesis was tested: Women who became single parents at a younger age, had more children, and less education would be more likely to remarry…
Studying Postmodern Families
Through dialogue and reflexivity, feminist researchers aim to create knowledge that is emergent from people in relationship with one another. Reflexivity is a process whereby researchers place themselves and their practices under scrutiny, acknowledging the ethical dilemmas that permeate the research process and impinge on the creation of knowledge. Guided by these tenets, we analyzed the relations among our research practices, our participants, …
Egalitarianism and Oppression in Marriage
In this paper, we explored the effects of doing research on seven researchers engaged in a study of couple decision-making. While not focused on oppression of women in marital decision-mak- ing, our interviews revealed a great deal of it. The seven members of our research team were affected, with age, marital status, and prior attitudes accounting for much of the variation in how deeply research- ers were affected. This study explores these issue…

Economic Resources, Influence, and Stress among Married Couples
Resource theory has suggested that power in a relationship rests on the ability to control important resources. With power defined as a potentiality, economic power as a concept needs to incorporate both the actual economic reward of income as well as the marital partners' potential as economic providers. One way to assess potential as an economic provider is by educational attainment. This research is drawnfrom a sample of 128 individuals (64 ma…

Workload and the subjective perception of the college environment of respondents…
