The need for epistemic humility in AI-assisted pain assessment
What drives older adults to continue working after official retirement age
The need to ensure the economic wellbeing and quality of life of those who reach the official retirement age is a matter of concern in the world of social services and in social policy making. Since some working older adults may be forced to retire when they reach the official retirement age while others retire voluntarily, the study is based on a dedicated survey among 508 persons who retired both willingly and unwillingly for good after reachin…
The role of mothers’ involvement in their daughters’ self-esteem and dieting behaviors
This study presents an initial effort to develop disordered eating pathology (DEP) prevention program with an emphasis on maternal involvement. Disordered eating pathology representing a range of behaviors and attitudes, from negative body image to full-blown eating disorder. It appears mainly in adolescent females and related to psychological and familial factors, including maternal modeling of thinness. A sample of 118 Israeli girls (11-12) was…
Cessation of Care for Frail Older Adults
Global population aging and increased longevity are making family care a nearly universal experience. Caregiving is a dynamic process that varies over time and in intensity but often takes a physical and emotional toll on carers and may inflict financial costs by attenuating their labor market participation. The study explores the implications of the 'cessation of care' of frail elders by adult (middle-aged and older) kin by comparing two ethnic …
Teaching with a Social, Emotional, and Cultural Lens
During my quarter century as an educator, I have taught at both an inner-city middle school and a comprehensive high school in Seattle, WA. Based on that range of experience, I can attest that stud
Exclusion from Social Relations in Later Life
Older adults face particular risks of exclusion from social relationships (ESR) and are especially vulnerable to its consequences. However, research so far has been limited to specific dimensions, countries, and time points. In this paper, we examine the prevalence and micro- and macro-level predictors of ESR among older adults (60+) using two waves of data obtained four years apart across 14 European countries in the Survey of Health, Ageing and…

Additionally, it aimed to investigate parental involvement as related to their daughters' sense of empowerment. Method: Participants were 248 girls aged 12–19 who completed self-report questionnaires assessing demographic data, DEP, body image, exposure to media, sense of empowerme…
Intergenerational Family Relations in the Multicultural Society of Israel

Psychological Distress Among Sisters of Young Females With Eating Disorders
There is limited research on sibling relationships in families with an eating disorder (ED) child. The aim of the study was to examine the association between sibling relationships, sense of coherence, psychological distress and depression among healthy sisters of females with or without EDs. Participants were 60 females (13-31 years old): 30 who had a sister with an ED (study group) and 30 without (controls). Participants completed self-report q…
A German-Israeli Comparison of Informal and Formal Service Use Among Aged 75
Is There a Trade-Off Between Caring for Children and Caring for Parents
Given current fertility trends of delayed age at first birth, along with increased life expectancy, more families will likely face parental care decisions while still handling childcare responsibilities. This paper explores whether families who are facing multiple demands for care of both offspring and parents are substituting one type of care for another. More specifically, it asks whether individuals who are engaged in childcare duties to young…
Intergenerational Support and the Emotional Well-being of Older Jews and Arabs in Israel
This investigation examined the cultural context of intergenerational support among older Jewish and Arab parents living in Israel. The authors hypothesized that support from adult children would be more positively consequential for the psychological well-being of Arab parents than of Jewish parents. The data derived from 375 adults age 65 and older living in Israel. Psychological well-being was measured with positive and negative affect subscale…

Solidarity Between Generations and Elders' Life Satisfaction
The study examines the role of intergenerational solidarity and filial norms on life satisfaction in old age, comparing older Jews and Arabs in Israel. Three theoretical frameworks served this study: cultural values and beliefs that shape filial norms, intergenerational solidarity paradigm, and modernization theory. Data were collected by structured interviews with 185 Jews and 190 Arabs. Results show that older Arabs were more familistic, receiv…
Rethinking theoretical and methodological issues in intergenerational family relations research
This paper introduces some key theoretical and methodological developments in the study of intergenerational family relations. It draws on observations that a number of social issues are emerging that have an intergenerational dimension, that there is growing recognition that to study adult ageing one has also to study intergenerational relationships, and that a new architecture for social relations is beginning to take shape in the wake of demog…

From Catch-all Politics to Cartelisation
Adaptations to coordination problems endogenous to political parties have established the cartel party as the emerging equilibrium type in modern Western democracies. However, these factors alone are insufficient to maintain such an equilibrium given the threat of defection. That threat is mitigated by three factors: historical changes in party form, systemic changes in the global economy and changed ideas about governments. Together, these chang…

This article provides a review of family patterns and lifestyles within Israeli society consisting of trends in marriage, divorce and fertility, dating, mate selection, marital relationships, and marital dissolution. Additional topics consist of parenting and the place and role of children in families, elderly and their families, gender issues, division of labor, power in families, and the impact of stress on Israeli families.Major trends are pre…
Divison of Labor, Perceived Fairness, and Marital Quality
This study assesses the relations between division of household labor, perceived fairness, and marital quality by comparing three ethnic-religious groups in Israel that reflect traditional, transitional, and egalitarian ideologies. The findings, based on structural equation modeling (SEM) methodology, show that sense of fairness mediates the relation between division of labor and marital quality and gender ideology moderates these relations for w…

The Effect of Parenting Stress on Marital Quality
This study examines the hypothesis that the effect children have on their parents' marriages is due to stress in the parental role. A multivariate model was specified to assess the relationship between fathers' and mothers' parenting stress and their psychological well-being and perception of marital quality. In addition, the effects of 6 other variables were assessed: 2 competing roles (mother's employment and household division of labor), 2 chi…

Effects of Migration, Ethnicity, and Religiosity on Cohabitation
Home as a concept has several dimensions and aspects of theoretical importance. From a family and individual perspective "being at home" can mean a variety of different statuses and experiences. In the global society the question arises as to how families and their members are able to negotiate establishing a home and having a place as well as group identity. Understanding of mobility includes decision making as both an individual and a family ac…
Intergenerational Family Relations and Life Satisfaction Among Three Elderly Population Groups in Transition in the Israeli Multi-cultural Society
Living arrangements, family solidarity and life satisfaction of two generations of immigrants in Israel
This paper reports a study of the relationships between shared and separate living arrangements and the life satisfaction of two generations of migrants from the former Soviet Union to Israel, adult children (the younger generation) and their elderly parents. An attempt was made to identify the social, familial and personal factors that affect life satisfaction, and special attention was devoted to inter-generational family solidarity and to info…

Japan's Policy Trap
Until quite recently, the Japanese inspired a kind of puzzled awe. They had pulled themselves together from the ruin of war, built at breakneck speed a formidable array of export champions, and emerged as the world's number-two economy and largest net creditor nation. And they did it by flouting every rule of economic orthodoxy. But today only the puzzlement remains --at Japan's inability to arrest its economic decline, at its festering banking c…

Overcoming Ethnic Inequalities
Beginning in 1971, Malaysia took unprecedented steps to improve the welfare of ethnic Malays vis-à-vis the country's large Chinese minority. The programs included quotas in education, employment, and ownership, as well as a variety of subsidies, credit schemes, and political measures. The circumstances were favorable: The disadvantaged ethnic group was a majority and held the political reins, and soaring export prices generated much new growth to…

Modernity and the Quality of Marriage in Israel
The impact of modernization on marriage has been acknowledged by social scientists, but the evaluation of this impact underwent several changes. While in the 1950s and early 1960s modernization (i.CA. secularization, urbanization, affluence etc.) was considered to contribute to the specialization of the family in its emotional functions, the adverse impact of modernity on marital stability came into focus during the 1970s and 1980s. This study ad…
The sociology of the family in Israel
This survey of the sociological study of the Israeli family, starting with studies of the early 1950s, reflects the dynamic development of the Israeli reality as well as the patterns of its sociological analysis. The common thread through the studies of the 1950s and 1960s is the perception of the family as reflecting communal and individual needs such as the loneliness of the pioneers or the integration of ethnicities. Later studies emphasized i…

This paper argues that resources at the wife's disposal have a considerable impact on her share in marital decisions while the husband's resources are not positively associated with his decision-making power. Data for this research were collected from interviews with 166 married couples randomly selected from the Urban Jewish Population of Haifa, Israel. The issue is examined in the light of our own as well as previously published empirical data.…
The Egalitarian Waltz
One need not be an anthropologist or a cultural historian to remark that social dancing these days seems to isolate the individual in a trance-like self-absorption which virtually disconnects him from the world and even from his partner. Indeed, the dance of the day-like other art forms-is often a good reflection of the values of a given time and place. Today's developments, both in the dance and in society, provide more than the usual scholarly …

Strain and Enrichment in the Role of Employed Mothers in Israel
This paper analyzed some central elements in the dual role behavior of Israeli employed mothers. Two approaches can be distinquished in the study of working mothers specifically, and multiple role sets in general. The role-strain approach maintains that the two sub-roles compete for scarce resources, thus impairing their performance and adversely affecting the role occupant and her contibution to society. The enrichment approach empphasizes the r…
