Infertility
Definitions and the Experience of Fertility Problems
Although infertility causes women considerable grief, social stigma, and economic deprivation, scholars have paid little attention to infertility's definitions that may depart from the standard Western usage and how such definitions influence the way women experience the condition. This article, by listening to individual women's experiences of infertility in two Nigerian communities, examines these definitions and differentiates between cultural…
Suffering Infertility
This paper examines the experiences of women with infertility in two Nigerian communities with different systems of descent and historically different levels of infertility. First, the paper focuses on the life experiences of individual women across the two communities and second, it compares these experiences with those of their fertile counterparts, in each community. In doing this, women who are childless are distinguished from those with subf…

The problem of infertility in high fertility populations
Motherhood in sub‐Saharan Africa
This paper examines the personal and social ramifications of infertility in an African urban population with low fertility. The study was conducted in Moshi, Tanzania, a multi-ethnic community with relatively high levels of education and a well developed health services infrastructure. The major question to be addressed was whether in a low fertility urban population, both primary and secondary infertility bring about serious personal ramificatio…
Social Strata Differences in Mothers' Conceptions of Children in Postsocialist Hungary
The purpose of this study was to determine if the low fertility rate in postsocialist Hungary is related to how mothers from different social strata conceptualize children and childbearing. It was hypothesized that stratum-specific differences would be found in the way mothers see the role of children in the context of their lives and that these differences would be related to the number of children they produce. The study is based on in-depth in…
Marriage and Contraception Among the Pare of Northern Tanzania
The purpose of the research reported here is to examine the connection between contraception and those aspects of a woman’s position that are related to her marriage. The research was conducted in two villages among the Pare of northern Tanzania where a shift from hoe cultivation as primary occupation to wage labour has brought about major changes in social relations. The major hypothesis is that a change from a ‘traditional’ marital union to a ‘…
Which African men promote smaller families and why? Marital relations and fertility in a Pare community in Northern Tanzania
Women's empowerment and fertility decline among the Pare of Kilimanjaro region, Northern Tanzania
The Cultural Construction of Childhood
The article examines the concept of childhood in an African society and tracks a contemporary shift in thinking about what a child is when a major sociocultural transformation effects a large segment of that population. The Pare, traditionally patrilineal highland cultivators, have recently experienced a change in their subsistence base from hoe cultivation to wage labor. This brought about a shift away from reliance on lineage authority to more …
Remodeling Concepts of the Self
There has been an ongoing debate in the anthropological and psychological literature as to the appropriate models for conceptualizing self and person in relation to society. The models have different labels, but the opposition expressed between the two focus on the cultural construction of self-determinacy. The Western model is egocentric in that individuals are situated as free agents, striving to actualize themselves in terms of selfachievement…

Adolescence
Gender-Associated Development of Formal Operations in Nigerian Adolescents
The mode of thought termed formal operations allows individuals to cope with the requirements of mature functioning in society as their social horizons expand. This paper investigates the development of this thought process during adolescence in Nigerian subjects. The researchers launched the investigation based upon concerns that research findings in non-Western cultures may reflect the cultural biases of Western-rooted measures use in addition …
Why is It Difficult to Take a Census in Nigeria
The author discusses problems encountered by those attempting to count the Nigerian population using a Western-based conception of what constitutes a household. I present some examples of household composition among the Ijo of the Western Delta in Nigeria and illustrate the difficulties in understanding these households when not applying the informants criteria in defining them....A culturally appropriate indigenous concept--which is clearly cent…
Fertility differentials among the Ijo in Southern Nigeria
Migration, Education, and the Status of Women in Southern Nigeria
This article examines changes in the status of women migrants, educated and noneducated, to various urban centers in one Nigerian ethnic group. The migrants are examined in contrast to women who remained residents in the rural home community. The major focus is on male‐female relations in the household. Findings indicate an erosion of the private status or domestic power of educated urban women, living in monogamous, nuclear family households

Fertility differentials among the Ijo in Southern Nigeria
The development of directives among Norwegian and Hungarian children
A great deal of interest has developed in the last few years in studying children's linguistic routines in interaction as a means toward understanding child cognitive development (see for example Mitchell-Kernan & Ervin-Tripp 1977). In this study we hope to extend the parameters of this line of research to include cross- cultural investigation. We also hope to shift the focus of investigation away from concentration on children's routinized usage…
Social Reasoning in IJO Children and Adolescents in Nigerian Communities
The study examined moral judgments and concepts of social convention in Ijo communities located in the Niger Delta areas of Southern Nigeria. The main data analyses were based on responses from 46 subjects divided into three age groups: 8-11 years, 12-14 years, and 15-18 years (preliminary data were also obtained in a small village). Assessments were made of judgments about examples of a moral transgression and a breach of social convention. The …

Conflict and Social Change in a Norwegian Mountain Community
Conflict cases and methods of conflict resolution may be used as diagnostic tools for understanding social relations and values in community social organization. This paper discusses conflict and conflict resolution in a Norwegian community that has recently undergone industrialization and consequent social structural reorganization. It was found that certain types of dispute resolving mechanisms were compatible with certain types of social bonds…
