A test of Miller's aesthetic fitness hypothesis
Miller has argued that artworks act as fitness indicators in mate choice. However, there has been little empirical work to support or refute this assertion. This study aims to rectify this and in so doing to develop a novel method to consider whether observers of art are able to accurately assess the qualities of the artist and to use these judgements in mate choice. Fifty-one females rated six males on creativity, intelligence, attractiveness, d…
Musical identities
Music is a tremendously powerful channel through which people develop their personal and social identities. Music is used to communicate emotions, thoughts, political statements, social relationships, and physical expressions. But, just as language can mediate the construction and negotiation of developing identities, music can also be a means of communication through which aspects of people's identities are constructed. Music can have a profound…
Children’s Creative Collaborations
This study examined the social processes involved in children’s collaborative musical compositions. The communication (verbal and musical) between same‐gender pairs of 11–12 year olds was analysed using measures of the relative distribution of transactive and non‐transactive elements. Results suggested that mutual friendship pairs were characterised by different communication patterns in both their music and talk compared to those of non‐friend p…
Born to abuse? Negotiating identity within an interpretative repertoire of impairment
The focus here is on the constraints and possibilities afforded by the mediation of experience though semi‐deterministic notions of the intergenerational transmission of abuse (the ‘cycle of abuse’ theory). A discourse analytic approach is adopted to accounts in which mothers identify themselves as having been abused in childhood. This identification is seen as inviting negative assumptions and inferences, among them the assumption that childhood…
Strategies of Resistance
Previous research has focused on the ways in which women who are clients of welfare agencies are constructed by professional discourse. In contrast, the present study looks at the ways in which women who are designated as `problem mothers' take issue with these professional definitions. A discourse-analytic approach is adopted in the analysis of the strategies of accommodation and resistance employed by such women. Particular attention is paid to…
Blaming Our Mothers, Blaming Ourselves
This article examines the ways in which women who have suffered childhood abuse or disruption explain the breakdown in their relationship with their parents, and the extent to which their attributions of responsibility are influenced by expectations of `normal' parenting and family life. The women `s accounts are analysed in terms of the attributions of responsibility which women make for the disruption in their relations/zips, and the factors wh…
