Psychotherapists’ Discursive Constructions of Culture and Cultural Conversations in Therapy
Disparities in the quality of mental healthcare services for majoritized versus minoritized clients are pronounced, while therapists draw on intuition and wider societal ideologies rather than professional training to confront the question of how to address clients’ cultural identities and backgrounds in psychotherapy. This signals a gap between theoretical calls for cultural sensitivity and the practical implementation of culturally responsive c…
Unravelling classroom justice perceptions among Belgian-Moroccan students
The present study employs qualitative content analysis to investigate perceptions of classroom justice within the specific multicultural dynamics of teacher-student interactions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with fourteen parent-youth pairs of Belgian-Moroccan background, revealing that the three key dimensions of the classroom justice model—distributive, procedural and interactional justice—offer a useful framework for understanding…
Love at second sight
This paper provides insight into remarriages amongst Turkish and Moroccan Belgians. Although the issue of remarriage is of particular relevance, given the rising divorce rates that have been observed amongst these groups in recent decades, it remains largely understudied. We examine remarriage rates and patterns of partner choice in second marriages, taking into account partner-choice patterns in first marriages. We analysed data from the Belgian…
Partner selection patterns in transition
The majority of Turkish and Moroccan minorities in Western Europe prefer transnational marriages over local co-ethnic and mixed marriages. Recent studies indicate partner selection patterns might be shifting after remaining unchanged for decades. However
Motherhood in Europe
This study examines how European variation in breastfeeding initiation and duration rates is related to the presence of baby-friendly hospitals, the international code of marketing of breast-milk substitutes, and different constellations of maternal, paternal, and parental leave. We use Eurobarometer data (2005) to compare initiation and duration levels across 21 European countries within a multilevel regression framework. We find that countries …

Ethnic residential segregation
Despite the importance of household characteristics for residential mobility, these characteristics are seldom considered in research on ethnic residential segregation. This study seeks to fill this gap when focusing on the residential behaviour of ethnic minorities and the constraints they face on the housing market. We use conditional logit modelling to analyse the Belgian Census 2011 in order to investigate the relationship between, on the one…
Partner Type Attitudes of Parents and Adolescents
This article describes an unprecedented decline in transnational partnerships among Turkish migrants in Flanders, using population data on all marriages between 2001 and 2008. Studying parental preferences regarding partner selection, we examine attitudinal mechanisms behind this decline. Based on a representative survey, our first result is that (direct) parental involvement in partner selection is lower among the more recent marriage cohorts. S…

Should I stay or should I go? The association between upward socio-economic neighbourhood change and moving propensities
Previous research on gentrification almost exclusively focussed on either the gentrifiers or those who are displaced. Those who manage to avoid displacement remain understudied. To shed new light on these original inhabitants, we link upward change in low-income neighbourhoods, measured by the changing socio-economic composition of the neighbourhood, to the propensity to move based on dissatisfaction with the neighbourhood or the home of both low…
Partner Choices in Long Established Migrant Communities in Belgium
This paper aims to shed light on the partner choices of Moroccan, Turkish, Congolese, and Algerian migrants in Belgium. Three partner choices are distinguished: marrying a partner from the country of origin (partner migration), marrying a local co-ethnic partner, and establishing a mixed marriage. We focused on the role of migration history and transnational links, culture (religion, language), skin colour and structural characteristics of the di…
Partner migration in the Moroccan community
Work–family conflict
While research has focused on a number of dimensions of work-family conflict (WFC), hardly any literature exists that analyses how differences in family systems might help to explain variations in WFC experiences. By employing Reher's typology of strong and weak family ties to integrate existing research and identify unaddressed features, this study finds that researchers have generally understudied the role of structural family ties on WFC. Qual…
Conflict and insecurity
This article focuses on insecurity perceptions in conflict-affected areas. The authors apply sociological theories on the determinants of perceived security risks and test hypotheses concerning theories on social and physical vulnerability, social disorder and social integration in the area where the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has operated. The study uses data from a survey conducted in 2013 in the territory of Faradje (Haut-Uele) and applies m…
School Context and Ethnic Minority Adolescent Religiosity
Previous research has shown that ethnic school composition can have an impact on a number of outcomes for pupils. The influence ethnic school composition has on pupils' religiosity, however, has not received much attention. Furthermore, the few previous studies that have examined this relationship have relied on cross-sectional data, thus being unable to separate selection effects from causal effects. In this research note we use longitudinal dat…
Paths of Acculturation and Social Inclusion. Migration, Marriage Opportunities and Assortative Mating by Geographic Origin in Antwerp, 1846–1920
Partner choice and marriage are used as indicators of paths of acculturation and social inclusion among migrants who moved as singles to Antwerp. Whereas scholars previously studied either the timing and intensity of marriage among migrants or the degree to which migrants married natives, we utilise a model which combines both approaches, linking four different meeting and mating outcomes to four acculturation trajectories. The event history anal…
Pathways of equality through education
Even though breastfeeding is typically considered the preferred feeding method for infants worldwide, in Belgium, breastfeeding rates remain low across native and migrant groups while the underlying determinants are unclear. Furthermore, research examining contextual effects, especially regarding gender (in)equality and ideology, has not been conducted. We hypothesized that greater gender equality scores in the country of origin will result in hi…

The Not-in-My-Property Syndrome
This paper aims at achieving a better understanding of rental housing market discrimination against ethnic minorities. There remain substantial lacunae in the scientific knowledge about the association between the concentration of ethnic minorities in the neighbourhood and discrimination, and possible differences in discrimination based on host society language proficiency. Although these associations have been considered in the U.S., they have b…

A Social Classification Scheme for Historical Occupational Data
The authors introduce a new directly comparative approach to the coding and classification of occupational data for the purposes of social analysis. The lack of an explicit way of translating historical occupational titles into a meaningful class or social scheme, which can also be applied across national boundaries, has hindered studies of both past and present societies. The authors present a possible solution-the Social Power (SOCPO) scheme-to…
Socio-economic and Ethnic Inequalities in Social Capital from the Family among Labour Market Entrants
This study investigates how the socio-economic positions of the parents shape the access to social capital of their children. We examine the influence of three parental socio-economic positions on the access to three job-finding resources from the family among labour market entrants. In addition, we examine how ethnic differences in family social capital are rooted in the unequal socio-economic positions of different ethnic categories. For these …
Partner Selection and Divorce in Ethnic Minorities
This article compares divorce risks according to marriage type. The common dichotomy between ethnic homogamous and ethnic heterogamous marriages is further elaborated by differentiating a third marriage type; ethnic homogamous marriages between individuals from an ethnic minority group and a partner from the country of origin. Based on the analysis of data concerning the Turkish and Moroccan minorities in Belgium, it has been confirmed that the d…

Transnational Marriages on the Decline
This article reports a decline in transnational marriages among Turkish Belgians between 2001 and 2008 and explains the changing trends through a qualitative study of Turkish Belgians’ current partner preferences and union formation practices. Young people prefer a local marriage because it enables upward social mobility, and the possibility of premarital relationships and lower parental involvement seem to further add to the declining popularity…
Analysing the Effect of Educational Differences between Partners
The effect of educational differences between partners on marital quality and stability is commonly analysed using difference, or compound measures. This article considers the theoretical foundations for these approaches and examines an alternative approach, diagonal reference models (DRMs). The three methods are then compared empirically, using data on 629 married couples from the survey Child-Rearing and Family in the Netherlands. Difference me…
The Rise of Age Homogamy in 19th Century Western Europe
In many parts of Western Europe the age at first marriage and the level of celibacy declined in the second half of the 19th century. This weakening of the European marriage pattern (EMP) can be interpreted as a “classic” response to the increase of the standard of living, but a more far‐reaching interpretation is that the erosion of the EMP was part of a cultural shift characterized by the rise of a new, less instrumental and more egalitarian vie…
Family size and intergenerational social mobility during the fertility transition
It has been argued in sociology, economics, and evolutionary anthropology that family size limitation enhances the intergenerational upward mobility chances in modernized societies. If parents have a large flock, family resources get diluted and interg

God Bless Our Children? The Role of Generation, Discrimination and Religious Context for Migrants in Europe
This article deals with individual and contextual effects on the religiosity of first and second generation migrants in Europe. Noticing that little attention has been directed towards intergenerational transmission of religion in processes of integration, we argue for an intergenerational perspective on immigrant religiosity. Social integration theory is used to derive the hypothesis that second generation immigrants are less religious than the …
Migration, Occupational Identity, and Societal Openness in Nineteenth-Century Belgium
This article examines social heterogamy as an indicator of “societal openness”, by which is meant the extent to which social origin, as defined by the social position of one's parents, is used as the main criterion for selection of a marriage partner. We focus on two topics. The role first of migration and then of occupational identity in this selection of a partner according to social origin. And in order to evaluate the true social and economic…
On Becoming “Too Belgian”
While considerable research has shown that coethnic communities exercise pressure on their members to conform to certain normative patterns, there is little research that explains variability within coethnic groups regarding ethnic conformity pressure. Drawing on fieldwork and semistructured interviews with children and grandchildren of Turkish immigrants living in Ghent and five mining towns in Belgium, we explain differences in ethnic conformit…

The Influence of Modern City Life on Marriage in Ghent at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
At the turn of the twentieth century, Ghent became a modern industrial city. The new societal conditions undermined old behavioral patterns. In a process of cultural interaction based on strategies of distinction, disciplining, conformism, and trendsetting, the elite, the middle class, and the lower class adopted a new marriage pattern. Social differentiation, however, remained strong. First, strong group boundaries on the marriage market, betwee…
Homogamy by Geographical Origin
In this article, the author uses marriage partner selection as an indicator for the openness of a society1 to study the level of intermarriage between migrants and natives (homogamy by geographical origin) in three Flemish cities in the period a1800-1913. The main question is whether societal transformations such as modernization and class formation lead to a decreased level of homogamy by geographical origin and how this is related to the specif…
Reliability of Position Generator Measures across Different Occupational Lists
The position generator is a widely used research tool to measure individual social capital. Although the position generator is said to be reliable, there are only a few broad guidelines to construct the instrument and there is no standard list of occupational items. Furthermore, the reliability of the position generator across different occupational lists has not yet been tested. This article examines the reliability of 13 position generator meas…
Marriage seasonality and the industrious revolution
In this article we study the evolution of marriage seasonality in relation to economic change, particularly connected to changes in labour supply and work intensity of the kind implied by the 'industrious revolution'. The focus is on southern Sweden in 1685-1894, which was a period of agricultural transformation and early industrialization, when we would expect to see an increase in work intensity. The analysis is based on about 120,000 marriages…
The effect of busyness on survey participation
‘I am too busy’ is one of the most commonly cited reasons for people not to participate in survey research. Yet, empirical data on the association between ‘busyness’ and survey participation are scarce, due to a lack of data on busyness or time pressure among the non-respondents. This article sets off with an overview of the strategies and types of auxiliary data that can be used to assess the effects of busyness on survey participation. Then, us…

A Social Component in the Negative Effect of Sons on Maternal Longevity in Pre-Industrial Humans
Due to their effect on maternal testosterone levels, sons are said to have reduced maternal longevity in pre-industrial humans. This analysis, using information from a Flemish agricultural village in the 18th–20th centuries, confirms the presence of a negative effect of sons on maternal longevity. However, the effect is mainly observed for mothers belonging to the least privileged social group and for sons surviving their fifth birthday. Both fin…

Societal openness during the urban crisis. Partner selection in the 19th-century Belgian textile cities Ghent and Verviers
This paper examines the partner selection of the lower classes during an urban crisis period in early industrial Belgian cities. It was found that in this period characterized by an economic transition, overpopulation, migration and a low standard of living, social heterogamy was high, whereas social homogamy increased, or was 'restored', in the subsequent period. The urban crisis effect on partner selection contradicts the claims of modernizatio…

Determinants of Divorce in Nineteenth-Century Flanders
In 1830, the year Belgium became independent, there were four divorces in Belgium. From about 1870 to 1910, there were about one hundred divorces per year, and since 1910, there have been about 1,000. The aim of this research is to investigate the factors that played a role in the increase in the number of divorces in Belgium in the course of the nineteenth century. The research relates to information from four Flemish municipalities for the peri…

Marrying out of the lower classes in nineteenth-century Belgium
In this article we address one of the most prominent questions in historical sociology: did economic modernization in the nineteenth century lead to societal openness? In an attempt to answer the question we examine the chances for lower-class grooms of marrying upwardly in five Belgian cities (Aalst, Leuven, Ghent, Verviers, and Liège). Our findings show that there is no support for a meritocracy hypothesis. The chances of marrying out of the lo…

Work–family conflict and stress
Research on the relation between work-family conflict (WFC) and stress focuses either on domain/role-specific stress (e.g. work stress), which is by definition and, operationalisation attributed to the respective role, or it focuses on ‘general’ stress, which can be a too broad or too general concept to measure stress related to WFC. This study introduces the concept of ‘role combination stress’ to indicate a stress that is more specifically rela…
