Strong, healthy families are the basic unit of our society. Families are where

productive, successful adults and lead'O'r:, with the support and guicance of their families.
I join the National Council on Family Relations in recognizing and honoring the family
and its crucial role in strengthening our society.
While you are in Arlington for the conference, 1 hope you \vill have the

Whether strolling along the banks of the Potomac, touring George Washington's home at

Polkle.r, Pat!l'!da Hill Comus
Sponsored by the Family Social Science
Department, University of Minnesota.
Presider: Ralph LaRossa
Introduction of Speaker: M. Janice Hogan
Recorder: Lane H. Powell, CFLE
Dr. Collins explores the relationship between motherhood, American
national identity, and population policies. She demonstrates how the
traditional family ideal frames notions of normal, idealized
motherhood, and how that ideal shapes notions of an American
national family. She examines how family rhetoric, linking family and
nation, draws upon racial meanings to the United States. The population policies she applies demonstrate how the nation-state seeks to
regulate the mmherhood experiences of women from different racial,
social class, and citizenship groups in defense of putative nation-state
Interests.
Patricia Hill Collins is a Charles Phelps Taji Professor of Sociology with the
Dept. of African-American Studies, Univ. of Cincinnati, and author of
several award winning IJOoks and texts, including the ne·west release:
Fighting Words: Constructing O·itical Social Theory; lecturer; consultant;

The world in which families develop is both expanding and shrinking. The "neighborhood" has expanded to include people from many backg~ounds and extends far beyond
the area around our houses. At the same time, distances and feelings of separation shrink
as air travel, telephones, fax machines, the internet, and instantaneous news transmissions transport us to locations around the globe. Families interact with this global
environment by both reacting to and influencing the events, products, and media. Some
of the skills and activities that families must contend with in this global context are:
Iiili caring for nature and the physical environment 11 making peace internationally and
personally Iiili understanding how the media can be used to either unite or separate individuals and families.
The goal for this conference is to change the consciousness and behavior of both
researchers and practitioners to include the global interconnectedness of families
and individuals.
The Call for Abstracts and application form can be found in your Conference Registration Packet. They will also be inserted in the December 1997 NCFR Report, and can be
printed from NCFR's website (www.ncfr.com) after November 20, 1997. Foreign and

A Sounding ofWomen explores
and validates the experiences

through the autobiographical

Organized around themes that
define masculinity, this highly
successful anthology examines
the male experience through
the use of some of the most
recent and relevant articles
published on the study of men
in society. All stages in the
lives of men are discussed,
including boyhood, academic

relationships with women
and other men.

How to Prepare Before You !Leave Home
Review the Printed Program Carefully
il Note all of the sessions you would like to attend. Highlight your
"must sees."
Ill Rank the presentations you want to attend. Try to schedule
NCFR business and committee meetings as well as receptions/parties. Be sure to include videos you want to preview and appointments you want to make. Write your final choices on your Personal
Schedule Planner in the pull-out section of this Program.
Make Networking Plans
Ask your colleagues to introduce you to people you would like to
meet.
11!1
Ill Prior to the Conference, schedule appointments with those
people you would like to meet at the Conference. Read their books
and articles for ease in conversing with them.
llil Bring return add~ess labels or print your name and address on a
sheet of peel-off labels so that you can quickly attach them to sign-up
lists and order cards.
IIlli Bring along business cards to hand to exhibitors, presenters, and
new friends.
1!!1 Pack copies of your resume for colleagues and the Employment
Matching Service.
The NCFR Conference offers a limited number of volunteer positions. Many student volunteers at NCFR Conferences have become
active members in our association after this experience. If you work
8 hours, your Conference registration fee will be refunded after the
Conference. Contact the NCFR office by September 1 to obtain a
form.
1111
Miscellaneous notes
Register before the conference so that you can review materials ahead of time.
e st f
fere ce*
Allow space in your luggage to bring home copies of papers,
books, and flyers.
!ill
Promote Yourself: Use the Employment
Matching Service
The NCFR Employment Matching Service lists job openings,
candidate files, and provides space for interviews. Many universities
and colleges use the Matching Service for initial interviews.
II
!!I
Tips for Using the Employment Matching Service
Follow the directions explicitly when preparing your materials.
!ill Bring a supply of resumes and business cards with you. You may
find openings not listed through the Employment Matching Service.
II Send your Employment Matching Service materials before the Conference so that you are listed in the alphabetic files. Inform colleagues
you are looking for a job; they may give your name to employers.
Be Assertive at the Conference
Register at the Employment Matching Service on opening day and
keep returning -- new jobs are posted daily. Leave messages on the
board for those you wish to contact, and keep checking. If there is no
response to your notes, leave a room message or ask colleagues to
help you find them, but keep trying!
llll
1111 Remember that you are making an impression at all Conference
events, sessions, receptions, and parties. You may even meet prospective employers in Conference sessions. Network, dress, and conduct
yourself accordingly. Send thank you notes to all appropriate
people.
Be An Acdve Participant in Conference
Activities
1111 Attend all main sessions. The speakers are leaders in the family
field.
II
II Remember - you must be registered and wear your name
badge at all times to attend any session, including receptions
and Section member meetings.
II To prepare for emergencies, leave the telephone number of the
hotel, your schedule, and NCFR's number with your family and
colleagues.
II Select clothes that create the image you want to project at the
conference. This is particularly important if you are using the job
service. Also include clothes for exercise, and all types of weather.
If you are attending with several colleagues, choose a variety of
presentations so that you can cover more topics, and share information and handouts later.
IIIII
Take notes during the sessions and purchase the audio and/ or video
tapes.
1111
!ill Attend a variety of sessions: posters, papers, round tables. Each
offers unique learning and networking experiences. Small informal
sessions offer opportunities for interaction between presenters and
the audience.
Stay after sessions and introduce yourself to the speaker(s)-- but be
courteous of the speaker(s)' time.
!ill
*Adapted from Planning a Success}id Conference, by Cynthi,1 Winter (Sage Publications, 1994).
Page 75
�II If sessions offer 3 or 4 papers, and only one is of interest to you,
Conference etiquette allows you to quietly enter or leave a session between papers. If several presentations conflict, leave a business card so
the author can contact you or send you the handout.
II Throughout a session, think of questions you may want to ask the
speaker during the question/answer period. Don't ask questions that
give the impression you weren't listening. Keep your questions brief.
Don't seize the stage for yourself and your own work.
Types of Conference Sessions
II
If you are registered and wearing a name badge, you are free to at-
tend any session listed, with the exception of the receptions sponsored
by colleges/universities. No advance reservations are required for sessions. During concurrent sessions, you choose which one to attend.
II Plenaries: General sessions attended by all registrants. Speakers fo-
cus in depth on a theme. No other sessions are scheduled during these
sesswns.
II Concurrent Section Sponsored Sessions: Each session has an overall theme. Three to four papers are presented during the time period.
Some include audience discussion. Symposia/Workshop sessions have
specific themes. A moderator leads the discussion, and a discussant
relates the papers to each other.
II Posters: Presentations summarized in graphic form. Posters are
grouped by subject. Authors are present to discuss their work, and
may have handouts for you to take home.
11 Round Tables: Informal discussion sessions with 1 or more leaders
presenting a 10-15 minute overview of a specific topic. Round tables
are limited to 10 participants per table on a first-come, first-serve basis.
11 Focus Groups: Special topic groups that meet for an informal dis-
cussion of topics not central to existing Sections within NCFR. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Integrate With NCFR
IIIII Attend the Orientation session for those who want to become more
involved in NCFR on Friday, Nov. 7, 1:00pm. Learn how you can
share your expertise.
11 NCFR membership and NCFR Sections are excellent means of ad-
vancing your career, and establishing professional networks.
II Attend business and Section membership meetings. Your input is
important and provides a way of becoming active in NCFR.
II Volunteer to help with Conference functions and other programs
and committees. You benefit by working side by side with key
leaders.
Visit the Exhibits
IIIII Exhibits are an integral part of the NCFR conference. They provide one-stop shopping. Many publishers sell by mail, and this may be
your only chance to review their materials before buying.
11 Check the Exhibits Directory carefully. Exhibtors include pub-
lishers, graduate schools, foundations, government agencies, and other
companies providing services for academics.
Page 76
II Pick up Exhibit brochures and catalogues during the Conference,
for ordering purposes. Exhibitors often offer Conference discounts,
or sell their materials at reduced prices at the end of the Conference.
Take Advantage of Networking Opportunities
II Attend the Newcomers Reception on Friday afternoon, Nov. 7,
2:15pm. Introduce yourself to other first-time attendees and meet the
NCFR Board of Directors. Come to the President's Welcoming Reception on Friday evening, Nov. 7, 8:30pm. Meet President Pauline
G. Boss, her family, NCFR Board members, and long-time NCFR
members.
1111 Check name badges. They are coded for students or first-time conference attendees. Suggest meeting other attendees for a snack or a
meal.
1111 Be assertive. When you introduce yourself, have a brief 3-5 second
explanation of the kind of work you do to help break the ice. Be a
good listener!
ll To find someone, leave messages in several places: the NCFR mes-
sage board, the hotel front desk, or under the guest's door.
II Attend receptions and parties especially those sponsored by college
departments.
II Use the central sitting areas. These are great places for people you
know to introduce you to people they know.
II Exchange business cards when meeting new colleagues. Make notes
on the back t'o remind yourself about significant information. Follow
up with phone calls or notes after you return home.
ll Share rooms. Staying with a group of people adds to the fun and
lowers expenses. If you want to room with someone, but don't know
who, take advantage of NCFR's matching service.
Ill Participate in a pay your own way dinner with others. Stop in the
Hospitality Room (Regency Ballroom, center section) and sign up to
go out with a group. Members of the Local Arrangements Committee
and the DC Council on Family Relations serve as your hosts.
Phy$kally fit, Mentally Alert and Safe
ll Make sure you get enough rest during the Conference. Fatigue is
predictable due to a combination of late evenings, presentations, dinners, parties, early sessions, and meetings.
II Don't skip meals. Try to eat a balanced diet. Take work-out gear.
The hotel has indoor exercise equipment.
ll Be safety-smart while at the Conference. 1) Don't wear your name
badge outside the Conference facility. 2) Stay in groups when walking
outdoors. 3) When you are in your room, keep the door locked and
the dead bolt engaged at all times. If someone comes to your door, use
the peephole to see who it is. Call the front desk or security if the
person says that he/ she is on the hotel staff to see if the visit is authorized. 4) Be alert when riding an elevator by yourself. 5) Leave valuables in hotel safe deposit boxes.
IIIII Frequently check for messages at the Message Board. Call the hotel
front desk for phone calls.

�II If sessions offer 3 or 4 papers, and only one is of interest to you,
Conference etiquette allows you to quietly enter or leave a session between papers. If several presentations conflict, leave a business card so
the author can contact you or send you the handout.
II Throughout a session, think of questions you may want to ask the
speaker during the question/answer period. Don't ask questions that
give the impression you weren't listening. Keep your questions brief.
Don't seize the stage for yourself and your own work.
Types of Conference Sessions
II
If you are registered and wearing a name badge, you are free to at-
tend any session listed, with the exception of the receptions sponsored
by colleges/universities. No advance reservations are required for sessions. During concurrent sessions, you choose which one to attend.
II Plenaries: General sessions attended by all registrants. Speakers fo-
cus in depth on a theme. No other sessions are scheduled during these
sesswns.
II Concurrent Section Sponsored Sessions: Each session has an overall theme. Three to four papers are presented during the time period.
Some include audience discussion. Symposia/Workshop sessions have
specific themes. A moderator leads the discussion, and a discussant
relates the papers to each other.
II Posters: Presentations summarized in graphic form. Posters are
grouped by subject. Authors are present to discuss their work, and
may have handouts for you to take home.
11 Round Tables: Informal discussion sessions with 1 or more leaders
presenting a 10-15 minute overview of a specific topic. Round tables
are limited to 10 participants per table on a first-come, first-serve basis.
11 Focus Groups: Special topic groups that meet for an informal dis-
cussion of topics not central to existing Sections within NCFR. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Integrate With NCFR
IIIII Attend the Orientation session for those who want to become more
involved in NCFR on Friday, Nov. 7, 1:00pm. Learn how you can
share your expertise.
11 NCFR membership and NCFR Sections are excellent means of ad-
vancing your career, and establishing professional networks.
II Attend business and Section membership meetings. Your input is
important and provides a way of becoming active in NCFR.
II Volunteer to help with Conference functions and other programs
and committees. You benefit by working side by side with key
leaders.
Visit the Exhibits
IIIII Exhibits are an integral part of the NCFR conference. They provide one-stop shopping. Many publishers sell by mail, and this may be
your only chance to review their materials before buying.
11 Check the Exhibits Directory carefully. Exhibtors include pub-
lishers, graduate schools, foundations, government agencies, and other
companies providing services for academics.
Page 76
II Pick up Exhibit brochures and catalogues during the Conference,
for ordering purposes. Exhibitors often offer Conference discounts,
or sell their materials at reduced prices at the end of the Conference.
Take Advantage of Networking Opportunities
II Attend the Newcomers Reception on Friday afternoon, Nov. 7,
2:15pm. Introduce yourself to other first-time attendees and meet the
NCFR Board of Directors. Come to the President's Welcoming Reception on Friday evening, Nov. 7, 8:30pm. Meet President Pauline
G. Boss, her family, NCFR Board members, and long-time NCFR
members.
1111 Check name badges. They are coded for students or first-time conference attendees. Suggest meeting other attendees for a snack or a
meal.
1111 Be assertive. When you introduce yourself, have a brief 3-5 second
explanation of the kind of work you do to help break the ice. Be a
good listener!
ll To find someone, leave messages in several places: the NCFR mes-
sage board, the hotel front desk, or under the guest's door.
II Attend receptions and parties especially those sponsored by college
departments.
II Use the central sitting areas. These are great places for people you
know to introduce you to people they know.
II Exchange business cards when meeting new colleagues. Make notes
on the back t'o remind yourself about significant information. Follow
up with phone calls or notes after you return home.
ll Share rooms. Staying with a group of people adds to the fun and
lowers expenses. If you want to room with someone, but don't know
who, take advantage of NCFR's matching service.
Ill Participate in a pay your own way dinner with others. Stop in the
Hospitality Room (Regency Ballroom, center section) and sign up to
go out with a group. Members of the Local Arrangements Committee
and the DC Council on Family Relations serve as your hosts.
Phy$kally fit, Mentally Alert and Safe
ll Make sure you get enough rest during the Conference. Fatigue is
predictable due to a combination of late evenings, presentations, dinners, parties, early sessions, and meetings.
II Don't skip meals. Try to eat a balanced diet. Take work-out gear.
The hotel has indoor exercise equipment.
ll Be safety-smart while at the Conference. 1) Don't wear your name
badge outside the Conference facility. 2) Stay in groups when walking
outdoors. 3) When you are in your room, keep the door locked and
the dead bolt engaged at all times. If someone comes to your door, use
the peephole to see who it is. Call the front desk or security if the
person says that he/ she is on the hotel staff to see if the visit is authorized. 4) Be alert when riding an elevator by yourself. 5) Leave valuables in hotel safe deposit boxes.
IIIII Frequently check for messages at the Message Board. Call the hotel
front desk for phone calls.

The Hyatt Hotel is connected to Crown Center by The Link, a climate-controlled, pedestrian walkway. Crown Center is a tri-level shopping
and entertainment center featuring more than 60 shops, 20 restaurants, 2 live theaters, a 6-screen cinema, and a skating pavilion. Among the
many free attractions are Hallmark Cards headquarters, housing a Visitors Center with over 80 years of memorabilia, and a Kaleidoscope for
children. The Crown Center Exhibit Hall exhibitions also educate and entertain visitors.
Other Kansas City attractions include: Country Club Plaza· Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art· Negro Leagues Baseball Museum· Toy
and Miniature Museum· Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and Design· Westport Jazz· Harry Truman Library and · Steamboat Arabia, a replica of the Steamer Arabia which sank in the Missouri River in 1856. The Hawley family unearthed its remains in a farmer's
field. With their own funds, the family recovered and painstakingly restored over 200 tons of "treasures" from the ship and built a replica of it
to house the memorabilia. This family's legacy to America provides an unforgettable experience for family conference goers.
Trolley transportation from the Hyatt Regency Hotel will take you to many of the city's most popular attractions. Trolleys operate
Monday-Saturday from 10 am to 10 pm, and Sunday from 12 to 6 pm, and include a narrated tour of the city. Access the Kansas City home

Choices in Relationships, fifth Edition
Hardcover, 710 pages, 1997
David Knox, East Carolina University
Caroline Schacht, East Carolina University
This text blends theory and research with a focus on applications. It encourages students to tclhe charge of their lives by
deliberately mal<ing informed decisions about marriage and family. This edition provides expanded coverage on gender
differences and nndtiwltuwlism, plus increased coverage of the unique needs of older populations. There is a new emphasis
on cultuwl, structural, and interpersonal explanations for ow· choices. A new chapter an nwnaging stress and family crises
(chapter 17) has been added to discuss topics such as unemployment, illness, abuse and death.
Marriages and families in Context
Hardcover, 100 pages, 1997
Gene Starbuck, Mesa State College
This text introduces students to a sociological perspective of the institutions of marriage and the family. The contempormy,
historical and cross-cultuwl diversity present in marriages and families are put into social, historical, cultural, and
theoretical contexts. The bool< employs a scripting paradigm to analyze the constntction of societal scripts. The scripting
paradigm helps students put their own family experiences into a larger social context; at the same time it used their
personal views to help them appreciate the more abstract study of the family.

How to Prepare Before You leave Home
Review the Printed Program Carefully
+ Note all of the sessions you would like to attend. Highlight your
"must sees."
+Rank the presentations you want to attend. Try to schedule association business and committee meetings and receptions/parties. Be sure
to include videos you want to preview and appointments you want to
make. Write your final choices on your Personal Schedule Planner
in the pull-out section of this Program.
Make Networking Plans
+ Ask your colleagues to introduce you to people you want to meet.
+ Prior to the Conference, schedule appointments with those people
you would like to meet at the Conference. Read their books and articles for ease in conversing with them.
+ Bring return address labels or print your name and address on a
sheet of peel-off labels so that you can quickly attach them to sign-up
lists and order cards.
meet prospective employers in various sessions.
Tips for Using the Employment Service
+ Follow the directions explicitly when preparing your materials.
+ Bring plenty of resumes and business cards with you. You may find
openings not listed through the job service.
+ Send your employment service materials before the conference so
that you are listed in the alphabetic files. Inform colleagues you are
looking for a job; they may give your name to employers.
Be Assertive at the Conference.
+ Register at the employment service on opening day and keep returning-- new jobs are posted daily. Leave messages on the board for
those you wish to contact, and keep checking. If there is no response
to your notes, leave a room message or ask colleagues to help you find
them, but keep trying!
+ Remember that you are making an impression at all conference
events, sessions, receptions, and parties. Network, dress, and conduct
yourself accordingly. Send thank you notes to all appropriate people.
+ Bring along business cards to hand to exhibitors, presenters, and
new friends.
Be An Active Participant in Conference Activities
+ Pack copies of your resume for colleagues and the Employment
Matching Service.
+ Attend all main sessions. The speakers-are leaders in the family
field.
+ The NCFR Conference offers a limited number of volunteer positions. Many student volunteers at NCFR conferences have become
active members in our association after this experience. If you work 8
hours, your conference registration fee will be refunded after the conference. Contact the NCFR office by September 1 to obtain a form.
+ If you are attending with several colleagues, choose a variety of
presentations so that you can cover more topics, and share information and handouts later.
+ Take notes during the sessions and purchase the audio and/ or video
tapes.
Miscellaneous notes
+ To prepare for emergencies, leave the name and telephone number
of the hotel, your schedule, and NCFR's number with your family
and colleagues.
+
+ Select clothes that create the image you want to project at the conference. This is particularly important if you are using the job service.
Also include clothes for exercise, and all types of weather.
+ Stay after sessions and introduce yourself to the speakers-- but do
remember to be courteous of the speakers' time.
+ Allow space in your luggage to bring home copies of papers, books,
and flyers.
Promote Yourself at the
Employment Matching Service
+The NCFR Employment Service lists job openings, candidate files,
and provides a space for preliminary interviews. Many universities
and colleges use the job service for initial interviews. You may also
66
Attend a variety of sessions: posters, papers, round tables. Each
offers unique learning and networking experiences. Small informal sessions offer opportunities for interaction between presenters and the
audience.
+ If sessions offer 3 or 4 papers, and only one is of interest to you,
conference etiquette allows you to quietly enter or leave a session between papers. If several presentations conflict, leave a business card
for the author to contact you or to send a copy of the handout.
+ During a session, think of questions you may want to ask the speaker
during the question/answer period. Don't ask questions that give the
impression you weren't listening. Keep questions brief. Don't seize
the stage for yourself and your own work.
�Types of Conference Sessions
+ If you are registered and wearing a name badge, you are free to
Sporakowski, and listen to great music.
attend any session listed, with the exception of the receptions sponsored by colleges/universities. No advance reservations are required
for sessions. During concurrent sessions, you choose which one to
attend.
+ Check name badges. They are coded for students or first-time conference attendees. Suggest meeting other attendees for a snack or a
meal.
+ Plenaries: General sessions attended by all registrants. Speakers focus in depth on a theme. No other sessions are scheduled during these
sesswns.
+Concurrent Section Sponsored Sessions: Each session has a theme.
Three to four papers are presented during the time period. Some include audience discussion. Symposia and Workshop sessions have a
specific theme. A moderator leads the discussion, and a discussant relates the papers to each other.
+ Posters: Presentations summarized in graphic form. Posters are
grouped by subject. Authors are present to discuss their work, and
may have handouts for you to take home.
+Round Tables: Informal discussion sessions with 1 or more leaders
doing a 10-15 minute overview of a specific topic. Round tables are
limited to 10 participants per table, first-come first-serve basis.
+ Focus Groups: Special topic groups which meet for informal discussion of topics not central to existing Sections within NCFR. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Integrate With NCFR
+ NCFR membership and NCFR Sections are excellent means of advancing your career, and establishing professional networks.
+ Attend business and Section membership meetings. Your input is
important and provides a way of becoming active in the organization.
+Volunteer to help with Conference functions and other programs
and committees. NCFR depends on members for volunteer service in
order to function effectively. You benefit by working side by side with
key leaders.
Visit the Exhibits and Video festival
+ Exhibits are an integral part of the NCFR conference. They provide
one-stop shopping. Many publishers sell by mail, and this may be your
only chance to review their materials before buying.
+ Check the Exhibits Directory carefully. Exhibtors include publishers, graduate schools, foundations, government agencies, computer
software companies, and other companies providing services for academics.
+ Pick up Exhibit brochures and catalogues during the Conference,
for ordering purposes. Exhibitors often offer conference discounts, or
sell their materials at reduced prices at the end of the conference.
Take Advantage of Networking Opportu.mides
+ Be assertive. When you introduce yourself, have a brief 3-5 second
explanation of the kind of work you do to help break the ice. Be a
good listener!
+ To find someone, leave messages in several places: the NCFR message board, the front desk at the hotel, or under a guest's door.
+ Attend receptions and parties especially those sponsored by college
departments.
+ Use the central sitting areas with colleagues. This is a great place for
people you know to introduce you to people they know.
+ Exchange business cards when meeting new colleagues. Make notes
on the back to remind yourself about significant information. Follow
up with phone calls or notes after you return home.
+ Share rooms. Staying with a group of people you know adds to the
fun and lowers expenses. If you want to room with someone, but don't
know who, take advantage of NCFR's matching service.
+ Go out to a pay your own way dinner with others. Stop in the
Hospitality Room (Pershing Exhibit Hall) and sign up to go out with
a group. Members of the Local Arrangements Committee and the
Kansas Council on Family Relations will serve as your hosts.
Keep Physically fit 0 Mentally Alert and Safe
+ Make sure you get enough rest during the Conference. Fatigue is
predictable due to a combination of late evenings, presentations, dinners, parties, early sessions, and meetings.
+ Don't skip meals. Try to eat a balanced diet.
+Take work-out gear. The hotel has indoor exercise equipment.
+ Be safety-smart while at the conference. 1) Don't wear your name
badge outside the conference facility- it' is obvious that you are a visitor. 2) Stay in groups when walking outdoors. 3) Use only unmarked
rental cars. 4) When you are in your room, keep the door locked and
the deadbolt engaged at all times. 5) If someone comes to your door,
use the peephole to see who it is. Call the front desk or security if the
person says that he/she is on the hotel staff to see if the visit is authorized. 6) Be alert when riding an elevator by yourself. 7) Leave valuables in hotel safe deposit boxes.
+ Frequently check for messages at the Message Board. Call the Hotel
front desk for phone calls.
Adapted from Planning a Successful Conference, by Cynthia Wimer (Sage
Publications, 1994).
+ Attend the Newcomers Reception on Thursday afternoon, Nov.
7, 2:15pm. Introduce yourself to other first-time attenders and meet
the Board of Directors. Come to the President's Welcoming Reception on Thursday evening, Nov. 7, 9:00pm. Meet President Michael

How to Prepare Before You
Leave Home
Review the Printed Program Carefully
Note all of the sessions you would like
to attend. Highlight your "must sees."
Write out your schedule on a separate
sheet of paper. Rank the presentations you
want to attend, then those you are willing to
6
Read some of their books and articles
for ease in conversing with them.
Bring return address labels or print your
name and address on a sheet of peel-off labels
so that you can quickly attach them to signup lists and order cards.
Bring along business cards to hand to
exhibitors, presenters, and new friends.
Pack copies of your resumes to hand out
to colleq,gues and at the Employment Matching Service.
The NCFR Conference offers a limited
number of volunteer positions to help in running the event. Contact the NCFR office
by September 1 to obtain a form. Many student volunteers at NCFR conferences have
become active members in our association
after this experience. If you work for 8 hours,
your conference registration fee will be refunded after the conference.
Miscellaneous notes
To prepare for emergencies, leave the
name and telephone number of the hotel,
your schedule, and NCFR's number with
your family and colleagues.
As you pack your clothes, create the
image you want to project at the conference.
This is particular! y important if you are using the job service. Include clothes for exercise, and all types of weather.
Allow space in your luggage to bring
home copies of papers, books, and flyers.
Promote Yourself at the
Employment Matching Service
For many universities and colleges, the
job service is a major place for initial inter-
views. The NCFR Employment Service lists
job openings and candidate files, and provides
a space for preliminary interviews. You may
also meet prospective employers in sessions
in addition to the interview
Tips for Using the Employment Service
Follow the directions explicitly when
preparing your materials.
Bring plenty of resumes and business
cards with you. You may find out about
openings in addition to the ones listed in the
job service. Send your material before the
conference so that you are listed in the alphabetic files. Inform colleagues you are looking for a job. They may give your name to
employers.
Be assertive when you are at the
conference.
Register at the employment service
when it opens, and keep coming back, because frequently new jobs are listed. Leave
messages on the board for those you wish to
contact, and keep checking. If there is no response to your notes, try leaving room messages, or ask colleagues to help find them,
but keep trying! More people are trying to
find jobs than there are job openings!
Remember that you are making an impression at all conference events: sessions, receptions and parties. Network, dress, and
conduct yourself appropriately. Send thankyou notes to all persons who gave you interviews.
Be An Active Participant in
Conference Activities
Catch the Intellectual Highlights
Attend all main sessions. These
speakers are well-known in the family field.
+
+
If you are attending with several colleagues, choose several presentations so that
you can cover more topics, and share information and handouts later.
+
Take notes during the sessions and
purchase the audio and/ or video tapes.
+
Attend a variety of sessions: posters,
papers, round tables. Each offers unique ways
of learning and networking. Small informal
sessions offer opportunities for interaction
between presenters and the audience.
+
Stay after sessions and introduce
yourself to the speakers. However, be courteous of their time.
�If sessions offer 3 or 4 papers, and only
one is of interest to you, conference etiquette
allows you to quietly enter or leave a session
between papers. If several presentations conflict, leave a business card for the author to
contact you or send a copy of the handout.
+ During a session think about the
kinds of questions you may want to ask the
speaker during a question/ answer period.
Don't ask questions that give the impression you weren't listening. Keep questions
brief. Don't seize the stage for yourself and
refer to your own work.
Types of Conference Sessions
If you are registered and wearing a name
badge, you are free to attend any sessions
listed, with the exception of the receptions
sponsored by colleges/universities. No advance reservations are required. During concurrent sessions, you choose which one to
attend.
+ Plenaries: General sessions attended
by all registrants. Speakers focus in depth on
the theme. No other sessions are scheduled
during these sessions.
+
Concurrent Section Sponsored
Sessions: Each session has an overall theme.
3-4 papers are presented during the time period. Some include audience discussion. Symposia and Workshop sessions have a specific
theme, and all papers are related to it. A
moderator leads the discussion, and a discussant relates the papers to each other.
+Attend business and Section membership meetings. Your input is important and
provides a way of becoming active iq the
organization.
+ Volunteer to help with Conference
functions and other programs and committees. NCFR depends on members for volunteer service in order to function effectively.
You benefit by working side by side with
key leaders.
Visit the Exhibits and Video
Festival
Exhibits are an integral part of the
NCFR conference. They provide onestop shopping. Many publishers sell by
mail, and this is your only chance to look
at their materials before buying.
Check the Exhibits Directory carefully. There may be publishers, graduate
schools, foundations, and government agencies which offer grants, computer software
companies, and other companies offering services for academics.
Pick up brochures and catalogues as you
go through the exhibits and study them while
you are at the conference. Go back to the
booth and try to order what you want while
you are there. Some give conference discounts, or find out if they sell materials at
reduced prices at the end of the conference.
Take Advantage of Networking
Opportunities
+
+ Posters: Presentations summarized
in graphic form. Posters are grouped by subject. Authors are present to discuss their
work with you, and may have handouts for
you to take home.
Attend the Newcomers Reception
on Wednesday afternoon, November 15,
3:00 pm. Introduce yourself to other firsttime attenders and meet the Board of Directors.
+ Round Tables: Informal discussion
sessions with 1 or more leaders doing a 10-15
minute overview of a specific topic. Round
tables are limited to 10 participants per table,
first-come first-served basis.
+ Check name badges. They are often
coded for students or first-time conference
attendees. Suggest meeting for a snack or a
meal. Arrange to meet at a central location
such as registration so that it is easier to find
each other.
+ Focus Groups: Special topic groups
which meet for informal discussion of topics not central to existing Sections within
NCFR.
Integrate With NCFR
+ Membership in NCFR is a way to
advance your career, and Sections are an excellent networking tool. Becoming active in
NCFR Sections permits you to work with
leaders in the field.
+ Be assertive. When you introduce
yourself, have a brief 3-5 second explanation
of the kind of work you do to help break the
ice. Be a good listener!
+To find someone, leave messages in
several places: the NCFR message board; the
front desk at the hotel; or under a guest's
door.
+ Attend receptions and parties, espe-
cially those sponsored by college departments. It is easier to talk in the relaxed atmosphere of these functions.
+Use the central sitting areas with colleagues. This is a great place for people you
know to introduce you to people they know.
+Exchange business cards when meeting new colleagues. Make notes on the back
to remind yourself about significant information. Follow up with phone calls or notes
after you return home.
+ Share rooms. Staying with a group
of people you know adds to the fun and lowers expenses. If you want to room with someone, but don't know who, take advantage of
NCFR's matching service.
+ Go out to a pay your own way dinner with others. Stop in the Hospitality
Room (Parlor C) and sign up to go out with
a group. Members of the Local Arrangements
Committee and the Northwest Council on
Family Relations will serve as your hosts.
Keep Physically Fit, Mentally
Alert and Safe
+ Make sure you get enough rest before going to the conference and once you
are there. Fatigue is predictable due to a combination of late evenings, presentations, dinners, parties, early sessions, and meetings.
+Don't skip meals. Try to eat a
balanced diet.
Take work-out gear. The Hilton Hotel has indoor exercise equipment.
+ Violence is present everywhere, and
it is wise to take safety steps while at the conference. 1) Don't wear your name badge outside the conference facility- it is obvious that
you are a visitor. 2) Stay in groups when
walking outdoors. 3) Use only unmarked
rental cars. 4) When you are in your room,
keep the door locked and the deadbolt engaged at all times. 5) If someone comes to
your door, use the peephole to see who it is.
Call the front desk or security if the person
says that he/ she is on the hotel staff to see if
this is correct, and the visit is authorized. 6)
Be alert when riding an elevator by yourself.
7) Leave valuables in hotel safe deposit boxes.
Frequently check for messages at
the Message Board. Call the Hotel front
desk for phone calls. Adapted from
Planning a Successful Conference, by Cynthia
Winter (Sage Publications, 1994).

�MUNCHAUSEN
OF INCARCERATED PARENTS
Issues in Diagnosis and Treatment
Alex V. Levin and Mary S. Sheridan, Editors
unchausen Syndrome by Proxy is one of the least
recognized or understood forms of child abuse.
The perpetrator is almost always the mother who creates
the appearance of illness in her child through such means
as falsification of medical records, covert administration
of drugs or poisons, altering laboratory specimens, or by
suffocating rl1e child. Yet, she then gives the appearance
of being a particularly caring, involved, and concerned
parent by helping the medical team as much as possible,
and sometimes even caring for other children in the hospital
ward. The reasons behind this syndrome are manifold
but litde understood. With contributions from a multidisciplinary array of experts, Munchausen Syndrome by
Proxy examines the causes, manifestations, and consequences of this disturbing form of child abuse.

Corporal Punishment in American Families
Munoy A. Sirou~
''As concern mounts over tising levels of violence in society,
especially amongst the young, so do calls for more corporal
punishment. But violence leads to violence and spanking
and paddling are violence. If we want a non-violent society
we have to root out the long tradition of physical punishment and learn to discipline children with our heads and
hearts rather than with our hands and belts. Many of us
have said it. Now, at last, Murray A. Straus proves it.9!'i

WANTING ANOTHER CHILD
Coping With Secondary Infertility
Harriet F. Simons
''Harriet Simons has written a book of extraordinary
importance. While the facts and feelings of infertility
are now more readily acknowledged than they were only
20 years ago, secondary infertility continues to be underrecognized and under-appreciated. This book speaks to
the millions of neglected sufferers of secondary infertility.
In a clear and well-informed voice, she offers not only
support and comfort but also coping strategies and
survival techniques which will be immediately useful
to patients and professionals alike. This book will
soon join other classics in the infertility literature.9'ii

Katherine Gabel and Denise Johnson, M.D.
often react to the arrest and
a parent by demonstrating consistent pattern
Children anxiety, hyperarOt)sala states, incarcerationofof
aggression,
depression,
attention disorders, developmental regression and
"survivor guilt." Like children bereaved through violence,
children of prisoners also experience a change in future
orientation and are unsure of how to feel about their
parent. This book discusses the optimum time to provide
intervention following significant traumas and shows
that direct preventative and early intervention services to
children of offenders can help them cope and steer them
away from a life in which crime plays a familiar role.

�Family Life Education
Teacher's Kit 1994 Supplement
The original Family Life Education Teacher's Kit, published in 1993, consists of 66 lesson plans
based upon the ten family life substance areas as criteria for the Certified Family Life Educator
program. The popularity of the Teacher's Kit prompted the production of the 1994 Teacher's Kit
Supplement. It consists of 30 additional lesson plans. There are three lesson plans in each on the ten
substance areas.
• Internal Dynamics of Families
• Families in Society
• Human Growth & Development
• Human Sexuality
• Interpersonal Relationships
• Family Resource Management
• Family Law and Public Policy
• Parent Education & Guidance
• Ethics
• Family Life Education Methodology
The Supplement is meant to be added to the original Family Life Education Teacher's Kit and can also stand alone. The lesson
plans in both kits arc geared toward high school, undergraduate, and graduate level audiences as well as adult education and/or
extension classes. The Kit and the Supplement provide family life educators with tested, ready-to-usc lesson plans. Includes
overhead masters and handouts. Original Kit 392 pages and Supplement 248 pages.

�Making the Most
of the NCFR
Conference
This section is designed to help firsttime attendees learn about how to
maximize the conference experience.
How to Read This Program
The program is arranged in sections:
Inside Front Cover- Table of Contents
Page 2 - General Conference Information: Hotel, travel, employment service,
hospitality room.
Page 3 - Index of Sessions and Exhibit
Information.
Page 6- Workshops. These are intensive sessions prior to the conference
opening. Additional fees are charged for
these events.
Page 11 - General Conference Program: A daily time schedule for all
events of the program.
Page 36- NCFR Board and Committee
Meetings are for members of NCFR
committees and the Board of Directors.
Page 39- People Who Work Behind the
Scenes at NCFR: Members of the NCFR
Board, Program Committee, Local
Arrangements Committees, and NCFR
Staff. These people will be wearing
colored ribbons on their name tags. Ask
them for help.

Pull-out Section: Program at a Glance,

with legend of where events are held.
Before You leave for the
Conference
Review the Printed Program
Carefully
Note all of the sessions you would
like to attend. Highlight your "must
sees."
Write out your schedule on a
separate sheet of paper. Rank the
presentations you want to attend, then
those you are willing to forego. Try to
schedule association business and
4
committee meetings and receptions/
parties. Be sure to include films you
want to preview and appointments you
make.
Make Networking Plans
Ask your colleagues to introduce
you to people you want to meet.
As you review the program, include
in your hourly schedule your available
meal times. Then call or write to people
you would like to meet to make
appointments before the conference.
Read some of their books and
articles for ease in conversing with
them.
Bring return address labels or print
your name and address on a sheet of
peel-off labels so that you can quickly
attach them to sign-up lists and order
cards.
Bring along business cards to hand
to exhibitors, presenters, and new
friends.
Some conferences ask for student
volunteers to help with running the
event. Many student volunteers at
NCFR conferences have become active
members in our association.
Miscellaneous notes
To prepare for emergencies, leave
the name and telephone number of the
hotel, your schedule, and NCFR's
number with your family and colleagues.
As you pack your clothes, create the
image you want to project at the
conference. This is particularly important if you are using the job service.
Include clothes for exercise, and all
types of weather.
Allow space in your luggage to
bring home copies of papers, books, and
flyers.
Promote Yourself at the job
Service
For many universities and colleges,
the job service is a major place for initial
interviews. The NCFR Employment
Service lists job openings and candidate
files, and provides a space for preliminary interviews. You may also meet
prospective employers in sessions in
addition to the interview.
Tips for Using the Employment
Service
+ Follow the directions explicitly
when preparing your materials.
+ Bring plenty of resumes and
business cards with you. You may find
out about openings in addition to the
ones listed in the job service. Send your
material before the conference so that
you are listed in the initial files. Inform
colleagues you are looking for a job.
They may give your name to employers.
+ Be assertive when you are at the
conference. Register at the employment service when it opens, and keep
coming back, because frequently new
jobs are listed. Leave messages on the
board for those you wish to contact,
and keep checking. If there is no
response to your notes, try leaving
room messages, or ask colleagues to
help find them, but keep trying! More
people are trying to find jobs than there
are job openings!
+ Remember that you are making
an impression at all conference events:
sessions, receptions and parties.
Network, dress, and conduct yourself
appropriately. Send thank-you notes to
all persons who gave you interviews.
Be An Active Participant in
Conference Activities
Catch the Intellectual Highlights
Attend all main sessions. Usually
these speakers are well-known in the
family field.
If you are attending with several
colleagues, choose several presentations
so that you can cover more topics, and
share information and handouts later.
Take notes during the sessions or
purchase the Proceedings or tapes.
Attend a variety of sessions: posters,
papers, round tables. Each offers unique
ways of learning and networking. Small
informal sessions offer opportunities for
interaction between presenters and the
audience.
Stay after sessions and introduce
yourself to the speakers. However, be
courteous of their time.
If sessions offer 3 or 4 papers, and
only one is of interest to you, conference
etiquette allows you to quietly enter or
�leave a session between papers. If
several presentations conflict, leave a
business card for the author to contact
you or send a copy of the handout.
During a session think about the
kinds of questions you may want to ask
the speaker during the question and
answer period. Don't ask a question
that gives the impression you weren't
listening. Keep questions brief. Don't
seize the stage for yourself and refer to
your own work.
Types of Sessions at the
Conference
NCFR
If you are registered and wearing a
name badge, you are free to attend any
sessions listed, with the exception of the
receptions sponsored by colleges I
universities. No advance reservations
are required. When there are concurrent
sessions you may choose which one to
attend.
+ Plenaries: General sessions
attended by all registrants. Speakers
focus in depth on the theme. No other
sessions are scheduled during these
sessions.
+ Section Sponsored Paper/
Symposia/Workshop Sessions: Each
session has an overall theme. 3-4 papers
are presented during the time period.
Some include audience discussion.
Symposia and Workshop sessions have
a specific theme, and all papers are
related to it. A moderator leads the
discussion, and a discussant relates the
papers to each other.
+Posters: Presentations summarized in graphic form. Posters are
grouped by subject. Authors are
present to discuss their work with you,
and may have handouts for you to take
home.
+ Round Tables: Informal discussion sessions with 1 or more leaders
doing a 10-15 minute overview of a
specific topic. Round tables are limited
to 10 participants per table, first-come
first-served basis.
+ Focus Groups: Special topic
groups which meet for informal
discussion of topics not central to
existing Sections within NCFR
Integrate With NCFR
+ Membership in NCFR is a way to
advance your career, and Sections are
excellent networking tools. Becoming
active in NCFR permits you to work
with leaders in the field, via Sections.
+ Attend business and Section
membership meetings. Your input is
important and promises ways of
becoming active in the organization.
+ NCFR depends on members for
volunteer service to function effectively.
It benefits you because you will be
working side by side with key leaders.
Visit the Exhibits
Exhibits are an integral part of the
NCFR conference. They provide onestop shopping. Many publishers sell by
mail, and this is your only chance to
look at their materials before buying.
Check the exhibits directory
carefully. There may be publishers,
graduate schools, foundations and
government agencies which offer
grants, computer software companies,
and other companies offering services
for academics.
Pick up brochures and catalogues as
you go through the exhibits and study
them while you are at the conference.
Go back to the booth and try to order
what you want while you are there.
Some give conference discounts, or find
out if they sell materials at reduced
prices at the end of the conference.
Take Advantage of Networking
Opportunities
+ Attend the First Timers Reception on Thursday morning, November
10, 8:30 am, and introduce yourself to
other first-time attendees.
+ Check name badges. They are
often coded for students or first-time
conference attendees. Suggest meeting
for a snack or a meal. Arrange to meet
at a central location such as registration
so that it is, easier to find each other.
+ Be assertive. When you introduce
yourself, have a brief 3-5 second
explanation of the kind of work you do
to help break the ice. Be a good listener!
To find someone, leave messages in
several places: the NCFR message
board; the front desk at the hotel; or
under a guest's door.
+ Attend receptions and parties,
especially those sponsored by college
departments. It is easier to talk in the
relaxed atmosphere of these functions.
Use the central sitting areas with
colleagues. This is a great place for
people you know to introduce you to
people they know.
+ Exchange business cards when
meeting new colleagues. Make notes on
the back to remind yourself about
significant information. Follow up with
phone calls or notes after you return
home.
Share rooms. Staying with a group
of people you know adds to the fun and
lowers expenses. If you want to room
with someone, but don't know who,
take advantage of NCFR's matching
service.
+ Go out to an each pay your own
way dinner with others. Stop in the
Hospitality Room (Directors Row 2
Room) and sign up to go out with a
group. Members of the Minnesota
Council on Family Relations will serve
as your hosts.
Keep Physically Fit, Mentally Alert,
and Safe
Make sure you get enough rest
before going to the conference and once
you are there. Fatigue is predictable due
to a combination of late evenings,
presentations, dinners, parties, early
sessions and business meetings.
Don't skip meals. Try to eat a balanced diet.
Take work-out gear. The Hilton
Hotel has free indoor exercise equipment.
+ Violence is present everywhere,
and it is wise to take safety steps while
at the conference. 1) Don't wear your
name badge outside the conference
facility- it is obvious that you are a
visitor. 2) Stay in groups when walking
outdoors. 3) Use only unmarked rental
cars. 4) When you are in your room,
keep the door locked and the deadbolt
engaged at all times. 5) If someone
comes to your door, use the peephole to
see who it is. Call the front desk or
security if the person says that he/she is
on the hotel staff to see if this is correct,
and the visit is authorized. 6) Be alert
when riding an elevator by yourself. 7)
Leave valuables in the hotel safe deposit
box.
Miscellaneous
+ Frequently check for messages at
the Message Board. Call the Hilton
Hotel front desk for phone calls.

ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT:
CHANGING FAMILIES
Early Through Late Adolescence
Judy Root Aulette
David E. Balk
A landmark offering that explores how social-structural

Synthesizing early, middle, and late adolescent concerns, this
text presents adolescence as a nonnal part of the human life
span. Balk uses primary sources of research and offers detailed chapters related to physical, cognitive, self-concept,
and social seasoning/moral reasoning changes, plus innovative coverage of issues such as gender intensification.

Comments: "Raised the importance of being sensitive to racial/cultural
differences. This was most beneficial because ofthe content selected for discussion,
and critical issues offamilies were considered."
9lV4. "Families, Communities, and Habits of the Heart,"
In the past decade, there has been an explosion of new ipforrnation about
families and health. This presentation summarizes what we know about how
families deal with chronic medical illness and disability, how they negotiate
with health care professionals, and how they manage daily routines which
promote health or illness. Dr. Doherty also looks at how caregivers' stress
management can influence the physical well-being of all family members.
The presentation emphasizes the information of most use to family
professionals and offers recommendations for health policy and for applied
work with families.
·
Comments: "Everyone in the health care industry should see this!"
Jean Bethke Elshtain, Ph.D.- Vanderbilt U
Dr. Elshtain is concerned that American children are in peril, in part
because they are less assured of the sustained care, support, and safety that
comes only with order and nurturance in their immediate environments.
During her address she reminds us of why family matters and how we,
as a society, can help to stern the tide of its decline. She explores what families
do that no other institution can do. And why we have such a high stake-as
individuals and as a people-in the struggle to ;,<;pstain and nourish families in
order that they might sustain and nourish America's children.
Comments: "It focused on what we need to reflect on and may often omit in
our coune work, theory, and teaching practice... The need for a new parad.igm for
how to live a life. "
9lV3. "Marriage Preparation, "Benjamin Silliman- U of WY
9lV6. "The Gendered Family md the Development of a
9lV2. "Families and Health, "WilliamJ. Doherty- U ofMN
A review of research on the expectations of marriage and marital
satisfaction serves as a context for understanding the success or failure of
marriage preparation programs. Assessment tools and program outcomes in
marriage preparation programs are discussed and evaluated. Implications for
program development are offered.
Comments: "Presented evaluations ofprograms most effectivefor premarital
preparation."
93V1. "Remarried Families," B. Kay Pasley - U of NC,
Greensboro
Stepfamilies are fast becoming one of the most common family forms
today. This research update examines the empirical literature on stepfamilies
and emphasizes the common findings across studies.
The marital relationship, including stepparenting behaviors and roles, is
the primary focus of the session. Special attention is given to identifying the
key factors which result in positive outcomes for members of stepfamilies.
Implications for marriage and family therapists, family life educators, and
public policy makers are addressed.
Comments: "Practical, applicable, knowledge of the topic... Why was it
beneficial? Reason: her mastery ofall the pertinent research."
PLENARY SPEECHES FROM f99:J CONFERENCE
9lV1. "Family Values ilecomidem:l, "Andrew W. BillingsleyUofMD
Dr. Billingsley discusses how the basic values that enabled African
American families to survive slavery and the Agricultural and Industrial
Revolutions are being severely tested in the new Information Age. However,
if these same values are understood and supported without political and
scholarly distortion, they can help all families cope more effectively with the
pressures generated by technological and social changes. He uses real life
Sense ofJustice, "Susan Moller Okin- Stanford U
Contemporary research in moral psychology confirms the age-old
observations that young children can show signs of having a moral sense.
Moral potential is there to be fostered or stifled.
Dr. Okin argues that unless families themselves are just and fair, unless
children observe values exemplified in those closest to them, they are unlikely
to de'!'elop these values. Thus, justice within the family, and in most cases,
between the sexes, is crucial to the development of a sense of justice.
Comments: "She was right on and opened my eyes further to gender
differences. "
INTERNATIONAl YEAR OF THE FAMilY SESSION
93V5. "Family He;alth Policy Forum," Sponsored by W.K.
Kellogg Foundation.
This special session is an effort to address the major issues impacting the
well-being of families in this country and beyond. The outcome is to
encourage attendees to take leadership roles around family health issues in
their communities. Stephen Lewis, Julia Walsh, and Cynthia Myntti make
up the panel. Barbara Elliott, moderator, and Margaret Feldman, NCFR's
Washington representative, review how the United States health care system
could benefit from incorporating these models.
Comments: "Excellent · each gave a valuable perspective and new ideas...
Insights gleaned from a cross-cultural perspective enrich all our thinking of this
important topic."

SESSION 103
THE NEW AMERICAN FAMILY DATA ARCHIVE: A NEW
TEACHING AND RESEARCH RESOURCE.
Josefina J. Card and Eric L. Lang, Sociometries
Corp., 170 State St., Suite. 260, Los Altos, CA 94022;
Brent Miller, Dept. of Fam. & Hum. Dev., UT State Univ.,
Logan, UT 84322-2905; V. JefferyEvans, Ctr. for Pop.
Res., N atl. In st. of Child Hlth. & Hum. Dev., Bethesda,
MD 20852.
This didactic session will introduce a new resource
for family researchers, teachers, and policymalcers: The
American Family Data Archive (AFDA). AFDA is a set of
36 high quality machine-readable data sets that are rich in
marriage and family variables, plus a student workbook/
instructor's manual showing how these data might be used
in the classroom, plus a compendium of other publicly
available data sets on the American family. AFDA data sets
include SAS and SPSS program statements to facilitate
data analysis, as well as custom search and retrieval
software to search the 22,000 variables in the archive by
topic, type, or keyword. Also included is software to create
extracts of AFDA data files that contain only those
variables meeting search criteria defined by the user.
Presenters will describe and demonstrate AFDA products,
and provide examples of how the data, software, and
associated products can be used by researchers, teachers,
and policymalcers. Those who wish to get hands-on
experience with the products will be given an opportunity
to do so after the session at a conference exhibit booth.
SESSION 107
PLENARY SESSION
FAMILY VALUES RECONSIDERED.
Andrew W. Billingsley, Prof. & Chair, Dept. of
Fam. Stud., Univ. of MD, Col. Park, MD 20742.
The enduring legacy of African American families
is addressed in Andrew Billingsley's new book, Climbing
Jacob's Ladder. In his plenary address he will draw on
these themes and discuss how the basic values that enabled
African American families to survive slavery, and the
Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions are being severely
tested in the new Information Age. However, if these same
values are understood and supported without political and
scholarly distortion, they can help all families cope more
effectively with the pressures generated by technological
and social changes.

SESSION 109
BURGESS AWARD ADDRESS
FAMILY AS SYNAPSE?
David Reiss, M.D., Dept. of Psychiatry & Behav.
Sci., Div. of Res., George Washington Univ. Med. Ctr.,
2300 Eye St. NW, Ross Hall, Rm. 613, Washington, DC
20037. (1992 Burgess Award Winner).
New data on behavioral genetics suggest that families
play an important role in gene expression. Indeed, social
processes in families may be equal in importance to
synaptic processes in the central nervous system as links
between molecular genetic processes and molar processes
of behavior and behavioral development. Genetic studies
are illuminating with new clarity three important aspects of
family process: the importance of family subsystems
specific to each sibling, the influence of characteristics of
individual members on family process and the likely

"African-American Parenting: Challenges and
Prospects"
Leanor Boulin Johnson, Dept. of Fam. Res. & Hum.
Dev., AZ State Univ., Tempe, AZ 85287-2502.
African-American parents face serious personal and
societal obstacles in meeting the physical, psychological
and mental health needs of their children. Historically,
inadequate or nonexisting public health care meant that
Black parents have had to creative alternative means to
meet their families' health needs. Given the psychological
assaults that Black children face in a race conscious
society, Black parents are challenged not only in providing
for their children's physical needs, but in their efforts to
instill in them a healthy self-esteem. Traditional theories
minimize the positive efforts of parents and focus on the
role of White society in creating low self-esteem among
Black children. This perspective is challenged by recent
research. Other theoretical assumptions about the
competencies of Black parents are challenged and
alternative ways of thinking are suggested. The historical
struggle to cultivate the minds of Black children is
examined in the context of Black-White differences in
educational strategies. The efforts of individuals, families,
community, and government are crippled by prevailing
myths. Dispelling these myths will aid in our
understanding of the physical, psychological and mental
health status and needs of the African-American
community as it attempts to socialize children to live,
contribute and thrive in America.

"BEING THERE": THE PERCEPTION OF
FATHERHOOD AMONG A GROUP OF AFRICANAMERICAN ADOLESCENT FATHERS.
William D. Allen, Graduate Student Dept. of Family
Social Science, Univ. of Minnesota, 290 McNeal Hall,
1985 Buford Avenue, Saint Paul, MN 55108.
An exploratory, qualitative study of the perceptions
of fatherhood among a group of ten, African-American
adolescent fathers. Each subject was interviewed
individually at length about what his own experience of
being "fathered" was, his opinions about what made
someone a good father, and how he felt he was doing in the
role of father himself. Excerpts from the interviews
illustrate the major findings of the study. These include: the
importance of responsibility and paternal involvement in
the lives of their children, the key role that the subjects'
prior experiences with their own fathers played in shaping
their perceptions of fatherhood, and the obstacles which
these young fathers felt prevented them from being good
fathers. Implications for service providers working with
this population and suggestions for further research are
presented.
CONSTRUCTS IMPORTANT TO SELF-CONCEPT FOR
CHILDREN IN A CHINESE CULTURE.
William H. Meredith, CFLE and Amin Wang, Dept.
of Family and Consumer Sciences. Univ. of Nebraska,
Lincoln, NE 68506.
While self-concept has been studied extensively in
North American and European cultures, remarkably little
research on self-concept has been done in other cultures.
Harter has determined that five domains are important to
children regarding their self-perceptions: scholastic competence, social acceptance (peers), athletic competence,
physical appearance, behavioral conduct. The purpose of
the present research was to determine what domains are
important to Chinese children in their self-evaluations.
Harter's Importance Rating Scale was translated into Chinese. Additional items were included in the same format
that tapped into other domains the authors' determined
might be of importance based on their study of Chinese
culture. The scale was given to 144 sixth graders in
Guangzhou, Peoples Republic of China. A factor analysis
determined that three dominants were important to the selfperceptions of Chinese children: behavioral conduct, social
acceptance (peers and adults), and group orientation.
Implications for understanding Chinese children's selfperceptions and future research needs are discussed.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN ADOLESCENT FEMALES'
CHOICE AND USE OF CONTRACEPTIVES.
Doris H. Appiah and Lynda H. Walters, Dept. Child
& Family Dev., The Univ. of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602.
Contraceptive attitudes of African-American
adolescent mothers and nonmothers ages 16 and 17 were
compared to verify whether parental status had any effect
on contraceptive method choice and also long term
expectations for achievement as adults. A total of 39
adolescents, low income mothers (n = 20) and low income
nonmothers (n = 19) in the southeastern United States
completed a questionnaire adapted from Kirby's (1984)
instrument to assess contraceptive knowledge, attitudes,
and clarity of future goals. Results indicated that
nonmothers used more effective methods of contraception
than mothers. Groups were similar in knowledge and
attitudes towards contraceptives. Clarity of future goals,
knowledge, and birth control discussion with parents,
predicted 71% of the variance in effectiveness of methods
mothers used. Birth control discussion with boyfriend
accounted for 25% of the variance in consistency of
contraceptive use for mothers.

CORRELATES OF PARENTING COMPETENCE: A
STUDY OF AMERICAN INDIAN NAVAJO MOTHERS.
Rochelle L. Dalla, Wendy C. Gamble, Div. of Family
Stud., FCR 210, Univ. of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721.
Few studies of minority adolescent parents have
examined parenting competence and no empirical investigations of Native American Navajo adolescent parents
exist, despite the need. This investigation sought to determine correlates of parenting competence for this population using the parenting competence model (Belsky,
Robins, & Gamble, 1984). Twenty-two pregnant or
parenting Navajo adolescent women participated in the
research. Among the PARENTING GROUP, competence
was positively associated with self-esteem (r = .64; p <
.05), relationship with partner (r = .52; p < .05) and
negatively associated with Sch. attendance (r = .57; p <
.05) or grade repetition (r = .67; p < .05). Child
acceptance was positively associated with child
temperament (r = .71; p < .01). Among the PREGNANT
TEENS, parenting confidence was associated with amount
of partner contact (r = .94; p < .05) and feelings about the
pregnancy (r = .94; p < .05). This study supports the
Belsky et. al. (1984) model, suggesting intervention
targeting this population must be multifaceted.

SELF-ESTEEM AMONG ANGLO, AFRICAN-AMERICAN
AND LATINO PREGNANT TEENS.
Nilufer P. Medora, CFLE; Avery Goldstein, Dept. of
Home Economics, CSULB, Long Beach, CA 90840;
Cheryl von der Hellen, LBUSD, Long Beach, CA 90813.
During the last decade, adolescent pregnancy has
become a major social, moral, and economic problem in
the United States. This study is unique in that it examines
self-esteem as it relates to specific demographic variables
in an ethnically diverse sample. The Bachman Self-esteem
scale was distributed to 265 pregnant teens belonging to
various social backgrounds to assess feelings of selfesteem. A majority of the pregnant teens were between the
ages of 16-18 years. Race, age of the subject when got
pregnant, whether or not the father denied paternity,
whether the adolescent was currently sexually active, the
incidence of sexual abuse, and wishing that pregnancy had
not occurred were variables significantly related to feelings
of self-esteem. Implications for researchers, family
practitioners, family life educators are presented.
CHILD'S VIEWS OF PARENTS AND STEPPARENTS: A
CONSTRUCT VALIDITY STUDY OF THREE
MEASURES.

Univ. of TN, Knoxville, TN 37996; B. Kay Pasley, Dept.
of Hum. Dev. & Fam. Stud., Univ. ofNC, Greensboro, NC
27412.
Data from 207 4th and 5th graders were used to
examine three aspects of child's views of parents and stepparents: psychological presence of parent, perception of
salient personality attributes of parent, and respect and admiration for parent. The reliability and construct validity of
a measure of each aspect were evaluated. Results indicated
adequate construct (convergent) validity. Comparisons between child's views of parents and stepparents (12 comparisons, e.g. mother-father) result in 3 significant differences.
Boys reported more negative personality attributes for fathers and more respect than they reported for mothers, and
more negative attributes for stepfathers than for stepmothers. For the total sample, mothers had higher scores on
psychological presence and respect than did step-mothers.
Implications for research and practice are forwarded.

BOUNDARY AMBIGUITY AND CHILD OUTCOMES:
EFFECTS OF FAMILY STRUCTURE AND SEX OF
CHILD.
B. Kay Pasley, Human Dev. & Family Stud., Univ. of

& Family Stud., Univ. of TN, Knoxville, TN 37996; Kimberly Dechman, Human Dev. & Family Stud., Univ. ofNC,
Greensboro, NC 27412.
Sex of child and family structure were hypothesized
to moderate the relationship between children's level of
boundary ambiguity towards fathers and child outcomes.
Children who thought of their fathers more often than saw
them had poorer outcomes. For both sexes, higher levels of
boundary ambiguity was associated with lower social competence. No significant findings resulted for family structure. However, when family structure by sex of child was
examined, boundary ambiguity was negatively associated
with social competence for boys in divorced, non-remarried families and girls with a stepparent (resident and
nonresident).

CHILDREN'S PERCEPTIONS OF COMMUNITY AND
THEIR PLACE IN IT
Ronald L. Pitzer and Ruth Ann Ball, Rural Sociology,
Univ. of Minnesota, St. Paul MN 55108.
Interview data were gathered from 57 children (aged
7-12) living in a small Midwestern town regarding their
perceptions of their community and their daily lives in it
during July and August 1992. The children generally had a
good idea of what a community is and believed their town
qualified. Feelings of safety and security were perhaps the
most frequent themes in the interviews. They feared reckless drivers, abduction, and bullies. Three-fourths of the
boys and a third of the girls reported verbal and physical
attacks by peers and teens. Two-thirds of the children considered teen boys, one-half considered teen girls, and onefourth considered adult men to be bad examples. One clear
conclusion is that children are not accustomed to being
asked for their opinions or even listened to. Implications
for community action, parent education, and Schools are
presented.

adjustment. 126 children (56 girls) from ethnically and
socioeconomically diverse backgrounds completed a
measure of social support. Teachers completed the Child
Behavior Checklist (Achenbach, 1991) as a index of behavioral adjustment. Scores reflecting who they went to for
support, how much support they received, and how satisfied they were with that support for mothers, fathers, siblings, friends and teachers were calculated. Regression
analyses indicated that indices representing support from
family members are significant predictors of adjustment.

Able Boone, Sch. of Education, Univ. of Colorado,
Denver, CO 80217.
A series of studies on family involvement in early
intervention have been undertaken. These studies address
parental and professional perspectives of home-based services and individualized planning meetings. Data were collected from parents and professionals regarding homebased services for young children with disabilities. Using
the same questionnaire, additional data were collected from
parents of young, high-risk children. Using observational
and interview methods, data also were collected to examine
the involvement of family members in individualized planning (IFSP) meetings. The role of the early interventionist,
the content and nature of home visiting, the content and
nature of the planning meeting, and parental satisfaction
are examined. Results are viewed from a family-centered
perspective. Implications for early interventionists and
policy makers are presented.

Using a subsample of the NSFH (N = 2,528), we
analyze four types of families: first marriages; divorced
families; stepfamilies; and never-married families. Findings
show that parenting values held by mothers do not vary by
family type. Mothers of children of all ages and in all
family types attribute considerable importance to children
learning and adhering to culturally valued behaviors.
Parent-child interaction patterns, vary, however, with
parents in first married families reporting more enjoyable
times with children.

Norton, Dept. ofFHD, Utah State Univ., Logan, UT
84322-2905.
Using data from the National Survey of Children, this
study assessed the effects of parental support on children's
self-concepts over time. Fathers' and mothers' supportive
behaviors had a different impact on sons' and daughters'
self concept. Maternal intrinsic support was more closely
related to daughters' self-concept, whereas fathers' intrinsic support was more highly correlated with sons' selfconcept. The opposite effect was noted for extrinsic
supportive behaviors.

Norman, OK 73019.
Using Waves I and III of the longitudinal National
Survey of Children (N = 2000), OLS regression analysis is
performed to examine the influence of father presence and
the nature of father-child interactions during childhood on
three measures of son's and daughter's mental health during young adulthood. The dependent variables include
measures of life satisfaction, general well-being, and selfesteem. Independent variables include children's subjective
perceptions of the father/child relationship and fathering
style as well as a measure of changing father presence in
the home. Measures of mental health at time Il indicate that
for both M's and F's, the perceived nature of the relationship and style of paternal involvement is more important
than the presence or absence of the father. Recommendations for altering fathering styles to enhance the mental
health of daughters and sons are offered.

PARENTAL PERCEPTIONS OF THEIR ADOLESCENCE:
PARENT/TEEN CONFLICT AND FAMILY
SATISFACTION.
Scott D. Scheer and Donald G. Unger, Dept. of Indv.
and Fam. Studies, U. of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716.
This study examines the relation between parents'
perceptions of their past adolescence (storm and stress) and
interaction with their teenage children (parent/youth conflict and family satisfaction). 121 adolescents (M = 15.5
years old, 59% females) and their parents were surveyed.
Results indicated that over 48% of the parents
5
�perceived their adolescence to be stormy and stressful.
Analyses supported that a parent's stormy and stressful adolescence was positively related to current youth/parent
conflict and negatively to family satisfaction. Parent adolescence, youth/parent conflict, and marital status (divorced) predicted family satisfaction, while controlling for
sex and age of youth, and ethnicity. Implications for intergenerational theory and family intervention are presented.

PARENTAL STRESS, THE PARENT-ADOLESCENT
RELATIONSHIP, AND ADOLESCENT BEHAVIORS: A
COMPARISON OF THREE FAMILY STRUCTURES.
Jennifer L. Kerpelman, Joe F. Pittman, Dept. ofFam.
& Child Dev., Auburn Univ., Auburn, AL 36849.
Using the National Survey of Families and Households dataset (Sweet, Bumpass, & Call, 1988), three family
structures containing adolescents (single-parent (n=400),
dual-earner (n=623), and traditional (n=166) were compared. An ecological perspective was used to examine
psychosocial functioning of the parent and adolescent, and
the parent-adolescent relationship. Multivariate analysis of
covariance and post hoc tests revealed differences in parent
and adolescent characteristics, and in relationship quality
according to family structure, sex of parent, and their interaction. Implications for parents' role managements and
quality of parents' relationships with their adolescents are
discussed.

PERCEPTIONS OF PARENTAL ACCEPTANCE AS
MEDIATED BY THE EXPERIENCE OF TRAUMA FROM
DISRUPTIVE LIFE EVENTS.
Gary A Luft, Sch. of Hom. Ec/Fam. Ecol., Univ. of
Akron, Akron, OH 44325-6103.
Factors that might predict positive outcomes for some
victims of life trauma compared to other victims have not
been studied. It was predicted that adolescents who experienced one or more of 12 disruptive life events in childhood would perceive parents as having been less accepting
than adolescents who did not experience such events. It
was also expected that acceptance from parents would be
less highly correlated with well-being among older adolescents who experienced disruptive trauma than older adolescents who had not had such experiences. Data were collected from 659 older adolescents via survey. As predicted,
perceived acceptance from parents accounted for a much
larger amount of variance in adolescent well-being for nontrauma respondents compared to trauma respondents. Results suggest that factors outside the parent-child relationship were associated with the perception of well-being.

Vazsonyi, & L. Lindemeier, The Univ. of Arizona, Dept. of
Family Studies, Tucson, AZ 85721.
A sample of 1156 early adolescents participated in
this survey of substance use. Parental monitoring, peer
drug use, and after School activities predicted availability
of substances. Peer pressure, Sch. adjustment, delinquency,
and substance availability predicted lifetime substance use.
Substances were more available to students who were not
involved with extracurricular activities, who had friends
who drank alcohol, who were more alienated from School,
and who reported lower levels of parental monitoring.

FRHD Dept., ASU, Tempe, AZ 85287.
The purpose of this study was to test a path model of
adolescents' perceptions of family system characteristics,
parental behaviors, and adolescent qualities in relation to
adolescent substance use. Data were collected from 284
high school students using self-report questionnaires. A
just identified path model was used. The results showed
that age and parental substance use directly influenced
adolescent substance use. Parental substance use also had
indirect effects through parent support behaviors to selfesteem. Self-esteem predicted adolescent substance use.
Communication and coherence were related to parent
support which, in turn, influenced self-esteem and, indirectly influenced adolescent substance use. Implications of
these findings for future research and practice are
presented.

THE MORAL DISCOURSE OF INCEST
PERPETRATORS.
Jane F. Gilgun, Sch. of Social Work, Univ. of
Minnesota, Twin Cities.
Except for royal marriages in some ancient civilizations, incest is proscribed universally. Yet, incest occurs in
as many as one in five families. Theories of incest, however, do not examine the moral dimensions of transgressing
the taboo. A major missing piece in our understanding of
1993 NCFR Conference
�incest is how perpetrators apply or avoid applying principles related to right and wrong, justice and care, and good
and bad. In this study, a conceptual framework based on
the work of Carol Gilligan and her colleagues and on the
moral philosophy of John Dewey was constructed and then
used to analyze the accounts of incest perpetrators. The
analysis showed that considera-tions of justice and care
(Gilligan) and reflection based on consequences (Dewey)
were present in the moral discourse of the incest perpetrators in this study, but these informants showed both inconsistency and discontinuity in the applica-tions of these principles. Discontinuity and inconsistency also characterized
how they saw themselves in terms of connection and detachment in their relationships with others. In the prevention of incest, interveners are constrained to reflect upon
consequences of their own actions within a justice and care
framework.

47405.
A dual focus paper, looking at images of family as
presented on five prime-time situation comedies. First focus was content analysis focused on cultural sensitivity in
depiction of family images. Cultural sensitivity varied, was
evidence of stereotyping, limited depiction of extended
family, religion essentially absent. Second focus was on
student author's experience of doing project (she is African
American). She chose to keep track of her own response to
being exposed to these images by keeping a journal. Her
response has gone through phases of curiosity, questioning,
anger, and a desire for honesty in depiction. Implications:
Need for greater sensitivity to African American culture
and strengths of African American families. Also, students
conducting emotionally close research should be aware of
the strain, but also the rewards. Research "support
structure" is essential.

CHARACTERISTICS, INCOME, AND EXPENDITURES
OF HISPANIC SINGLE-PARENT FAMILIES.
Mark Lino, Family Economics Research Group,
ARS, USDA, Hyattsville, MD 20782.
Hispanic single-parent families have received little
research attention. This study examines the characteristics,
income, and expenditures of Hispanic single-parent families (who may be of any race) and compares them with their
non-Hispanic White and non-Hispanic Black counterparts.
Data are from the 1989-90 Consumer Expenditure Survey.
Proceedings
Educational level was lowest for Hispanic single parents;
62% did not have a high Sch. diploma, compared with 16%
of non-Hispanic White and 29% of non-Hispanic Black
parents. Hispanic single-parent families had the lowest average before-tax income, $11,060 compared with $20,900
for non-Hispanic White and $12,870 for non-Hispanic
Black families. Housing, food, and transportation accounted for 68% to 77% of total expenses for the three groups.
Home ownership was lowest among Hispanic single-parent
families; 15% owned a home, whereas 47% of non-Hispanic White and 21% of non-Hispanic Black families were
homeowners. This study highlights the poor economic situation of single-parent families, especially those of Hispanic
origin.

MACHISMO AMONG MEXICAN-AMERICAN MEN:
MYTH OR REALITY?
Robert L. DelCampo & Ruth S. Herrera, Pam. &
Cons. Sci., NM State Univ., Las Cruces, NM 88003-0003.
Machismo, a concept that evokes both positive and
negative connotations, has been used in the literature to
describe the character of Hispanic men. The present investigation examined how well dual-earner, working-class
Mexican-American husbands fit both the negative and positive aspects of machismo. Participants responded to a
questionnaire that assessed sex-role attitudes and degree of
sharing in household and child care responsibilities. The
purpose of the present study was to examine the gender
role ideology of Mexican-American men in dual-earner
families, and determine the congruence between expressed
attitudes and reported behaviors. Findings from the present
study indicate that the attitudes of working-class, dualearner, Mexican-American men can be classified as basically neutral (neither traditional nor egalitarian). However, despite their neutral attitudes, they perceive themselves as being actively involved in traditionally feminine
tasks.

GENDER AND GENERATIONAL TRANSITIONS IN
MIDWESTERN HMONG FAMILIES
Annelies K. Hagemeister, Dept. of Family Social
Science, Univ. of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN 55108.
Most Southeast Asian refugee families such as the
Hmong have been living in the U.S. only for about 15
years; their life stories tell how gender and generation operate in families in cultural transition. Data from 20 life
history interviews with Hmong refugees were used to explore gender and generation as organizing themes. Half of
the data was from interviews with Hmong elders and half
was data from interviews with participants who were in the
generation of the elder's children or grandchildren. Half of
the participants were female, the other half male. These
Hmong individuals discussed roles and rules of family life
that were effected by both gender and generation. Many
changes from the "Hmong way" were noted; some changes
like young women's education have caused conflict. At the
same time certain continuities were seen between the
generations. The research has implications for family
service professionals and educators.

COMPARISON OF MOTHERS FROM INDONESIA AND
THE UNITED STATES.
Dahlia F. Stockdale, & Alfita A. Moeljadi, Human
Dev. & Family Studies, Iowa State Univ., Ames, lA 50011.
Mothers in Indonesia and the United States were
compared for their perceptions of social support, adjustment and self-esteem. Perceptions were measured for
before and after divorce. Of 75 mothers, 38 were Indonesian (M = 34.2 yrs.) and 37 were American (M =30.5
yrs.). T-tests revealed that mothers in both cultures perceived a decrease in support after divorce; however, U.S.
mothers perceived more support than Indonesian mothers.
Indonesian mothers reported more support from relatives;
U.S. mothers perceived more support from friends and had
higher self-esteem. No significant differences were found
for adjustment. Results are discussed in the framework of

Sang-won, Lee (Graduate Sch. student), Sun-wha, Ok
(professor). Seoul National Univ., Dept. of Home Economics, Guanak-gu, Shillim-dong, 151-742, Seoul, Korea.
This study tries to investigate the impact of background variables and intergenerational solidarity on marital
satisfaction of the newly married. An empirical sample
testing was conducted using structured questionnaires.
Statistically analyzed answers of 241 couples, been married
less than 5 years. The major findings were as follows: a)
The intergenerational solidarity of newly married couples
reveals bilateral tendency b) The marital satisfaction of the
newly-married is significantly explained by the affectional
solidarity with parents in-law and the level of partner
acquaintance before marriage. These findings would be
used to help the newly-married to adjust their marriage.
And the influence of men's affectional solidarity with
parents in-law on marital satisfaction is reflecting
contemporary kinship change in Korea.

A CASE STUDY OF PARENTING IN CROSS CULTURAL
EXTENDED FAMILY
Duncan Perrote, Louise Blake, and Vincent Blake, U
of WY Wind River Extension, Ft. Washakie, WY.
There are challenges in cross culture extended family
parenting that are unique: 1) Northern Arapahoes and Navajos are as different as Brits and Italians. The language, the
culture and the family structure is different between tribes.
2) The nature of extended family for Northern Arapahoes
and Navajos is as important for survival of the people as it
is destructive. While in crisis the extended family offers
immeasurable support, however, when a dysfunction is present it ripples through the family. 3) Knowing the circumstances which stimulate active parenting of extended family
is paramount to impacting the youth. Whether relatives
assume parenting is due to temporary crisis such as an accident or a sudden illness or long term dysfunction such as
alcohol all has an impact.

M. Ahmeduzzaman, Sarah McGinley, Dept. of Human Env. Stud., Cent. MI Univ., Mt. Pleasant, MI 48859.
Using family strength as a model, data were collected
on African-American (A-A) (N = 45) and PuertoRican American (P-A) (N = 40) father involvement with
their preSch.ers. The high degree of commitment to the
1993 NCFR Conference
�family unit and good communication skills, A-A fathers
may contain social ingredients that can be readily and
effectively used in caregiving situations. In an effort to
promote overall family well being, P-A fathers' commitment and preference for family cohesion may have fostered
fathers' involvement with their preschool-aged child. Data
also revealed that extrafamilial sources were important for
A-A fathers and institutional support was significant for the
P-A fathers. The data presented herein should help broaden
our conceptual/theoretical understanding of fathers' support sources that abet or inhibit their socialization with
preschoolers from diverse cultures.
as likely to be processed as readily visible ones and therefore can have an adverse impact on their relationship.
Another variable, couple expressiveness, was included to
examine the influence of openness of communication. A
national sample of 1960 couples was administered a 204item questionnaire measuring compatibility and readiness
for marriage. While the factors of race and nationality were
not associated with the dependent variable, religious and
class differences had a negative impact on couple satisfaction and stability. Couple expressiveness accounted for
20% of the variance of the dependent variable. Implications for family practitioners and therapists are presented.

WHAT IS A FAMILY MADE OF? CROSS-CULTURAL
DISPARITIES WITHIN MUSLIM-CHRISTIAN
HETEROGAMY.
Rhoda Hurst Rojiani, Dept. of Family & Child
Development, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State
Univ., Blacksburg, VA 24061-0416.
The author used participant observation and text
analysis to explore and contrast the family paradigms of
Muslim Asian men and Christian American women in
heterogamous marriage with one another. This particular
type of heterogamy combines interfaith, interracial, and
language and cultural differences between partners. These
marital partners are likely to differ in their conceptualizations of time, gender, power, family, personhood, shame
and face-saving, as well as basic problem-solving strategies. These differences are important for therapists to be
aware of as heterogamy of all types is becoming more
common. Muslim Asian Male and American Female
heterogamy is also important for research because it provides, in microcosm, an exaggerated degree of potential
values conflict found in any marriage. As such, it can be
useful in heightening researchers' awareness their own
values and assumptions. Both the Circumplex Model and
dialectical theory are used in this analysis.

Can cultural mistrust and therapist characteristics
preference clarify middle-class, African Americans' attitude toward therapy? African American and European
American subjects completed questionnaires about their
attitudes toward these variables (N = 107). Cultural mistrust was not a mediator between willingness to seek
therapy and race or gender. Preference for same-race
therapist was significantly higher for women than for men.

This study examined the influence of couples' cultural differences on relationship satisfaction and stability. It
was hypothesized that differences on education, social
class and religion would negatively impact satisfaction and
stability, and that the influence of these variables would be
more significant than that ofrace or nationality. Derived
from a transcultural model, the hypothesis was based on
the idea that less overt differences between partners are not

THE DEVELOPMENTAL AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A
METAPOLICY FOR FAMILIES: THE ALBERTA FAMILY
POLICY GRID.
Maria J. Mayan, Dept. of Family Studies, Univ. of
Alberta, 3-38 Assiniboia Hall, Edmonton, Alberta, T6G
2E7.
Within the last few years, family scholars and government officials have been concentrating on the relationship
between policies and family well-being. In response, the
Alberta government developed the Family Policy Grid. The
Grid is a framework of principles that is being used by all
provincial government Dept.s to evaluate their existing policies, develop new policies and assess the impact of proposed policies affecting families. The Grid is a unique and
innovative family policy initiative. The problem is that the
background to the Grid was not documented, making it impossible to decipher the value of the Grid. The research
concentrated on documenting the development of the Grid,
the plans for implementation and evaluation, and the implications for Alberta families and other governments concerned with family well-being and policies. This was accomplished through a review of written materials related to
the Grid and inter-views with the developers of the Grid.

TRYING TO PLEASE THEM ALL: POLICY AND FAMILY
TYPE IN ALBERTA.
Jason Montgomery, Family Studies Dept., Univ. of
Alberta, Edmonton, AB, T6G 2M8.
This paper explores the nature of the relationship between assumptions about families and the policy that results. The Alberta Government established a Grid "to
develop and assess policies affecting families." This Grid
is analyzed to show the ways that assumptions and policy
are related.
The analysis indicates the problems that arise from
the desire to please various publics and the tendency to
support a traditional family form. The Grid is based on
assumptions that support discrepant family types, it proposes principles that are based on these contradictory assumptions, and its criteria for evaluating policy reveal
these contradictions. In other ways, the Grid clearly reflects
the traditional model of families.
This paper explores these contradictions and the
politically safe support of the traditional family. Thus,
analysis reveals the problems that attend the creation of
family policy in a pluralistic society and difficulties in
establishing a policy that reflects new realities.

FAMILY SAVING UNDER QUANTITY CONSTRAINTS:
WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THE FORMER SOVIET
FAMILIES?
Manouchehr Mokhtari, Dept. of Family Studies,
Univ. of Maryland, Col. Park, MD, 20742.
This study uses a survey of former Soviet families to
investigate family saving behavior when choices of key
consumer goods are constrained by formal and informal
rationing devices. We present conclusive evidence to support the proposition that marginal saving rates are positively related to the severity of quantity constraints (rationing).
Former Soviet families subject to severe quantity constraints have marginal saving rates more than double those
of unconstrained families. Surprisingly, the high marginal
saving rate of severely constrained Soviet families is very
close to that of U.S. families during the rationing of World
War II. Given that, virtually all economies have quantityconstrained markets (such as rent-controlled housing or
price-controlled medical care), the results of this study provide insight into the behavior of U.S. families who suffer
from informal or formal rationing in consumer markets.

THE ECONOMIC STATUS OF ELDERLY MINORITY
HOUSEHOLDS.
F. N. Schwenk, Family Economics Research Group,
Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture,
Hyattsville, MD 20782.
On average, the economic status of elderly Americans
has improved over the last three decades. Much of this gain
resulted from public policies and programs. However, there
are still subgroups of elders that do not experience economic well-being. Minority elders, in particular, may need
attention as policies regarding the elderly are reviewed and
developed. This study analyzed the effect of race upon the
economic status of elderly households. Household expenditures were chosen as a measure of economic status and data
from the 1990 Consumer Expenditure Survey were used.
An OLS regression indicated that non-Hispanic Black
households and Hispanic, Asian, or Native American
households were less well off than non-Hispanic White
households. This was the case even when other characteristics (education, urban/rural, household composition,
household size, age) were controlled. Intergenerational
equity, deficit reduction, pension reform, and other factors
may bring changes in programs and policies affecting the
elderly. Such changes should reflect special consideration
given to the needs of those who are most economically
vulnerable.

Ctr. for Health Policy Research, and Gary R. Lee, Dept. of
Sociology, Univ. of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611.
This research uses data from the National Survey of
Family and Households and the National Medical Expenditure Survey to explore household and residential differences in the economic well-being of the elderly. We
determined the percentage of elders who: (a) live below
three poverty thresholds; (b) have various sources of
income; (c) have sources of medical insurance to supplement Medicare; and (d) have different levels of selected
assets. Finally, (e) we predicted the odds ofliving in poverty for elders who live in different areas of residence and
household configuration while controlling for the effects of
other sociodemographic factors known to influence poverty
rates. The data reveal that nonmetropolitan elders, and
those who live alone, are disadvantaged on most economic
indices, and have increased odds of impoverishment.

CRITICAL ISSUES FACING FAMILIES AND THEIR
IMPLICATIONS FOR POLICYMAKERS.
Herbert G. Lingren, & Georgia L. Stevens, Dept. of
Family & Consumer Sciences, Univ. of Nebraska Lincoln,
Lincoln, NE 68583; Wesley Daberkow, Dept. of Voc. &
Adult Education, Univ. of Nebraska Lincoln.
Data were collected from families about the critical
issues and concerns they face during the decade of the
nineties. Respondents were asked about the amount of
attention that educational providers, human service professionals and policymakers should give these issues. (N =
600). In times of declining resources, traditional institutions and agencies which serve families are being questioned as to the value of their existence, and their products
are viewed with increasing skepticism by the public. Families, if they are to address their most critical issues with
limited resources must be cognizant of them and must
provide guidance to policymakers as to the most effective
use of scarce resources. Data regarding differences on the
amount of concern and the attention policymakers should
give is presented by gender, age, family structure, income,
#of children, marital status, education and occupation.
Implications for educators, human service providers and
policymakers are discussed.

In many cases, local data are needed to raise community awareness and to generate support for education
and intervention programs. To measure the well-being of
children in the state, U.S. Census and state data were used
to conduct trend analysis to produce county profiles. The
data from KIDS COUNT document that the needs of
children are urgent due to demographic shifts and economic disparity. On 10 of 13 indicators measured, the condition for children has worsened during the past decade.
Conditions of risk that impact on the well-being of children
include poverty, family dissolution, poor health care, violence, and inadequate preparation for the responsibilities of
adulthood. The problems facing children and families are
complex and will not be responsive to short-term or simplistic solutions. These data provide community groups and
policy makers with a basic tool to use in developing longterm intervention and prevention programs that will address the needs of children and families throughout the
state.

THE SOCIAL SCIENTIST AS SOCIAL REFORMER:
INSTRUMENTAL VALUATION IN FAMILY POLICY
RESEARCH.
Jacqueline B. Stanfield, Dept. of Soc., Univ. of No.
CO, Greeley, CO 80639; J. R. Stanfield, Dept. of Econ.,
Colorado State Univ., Ft. Collins, CO 80523.
Scientific separatism is the doctrine that the scientific
method can be applied only to matters of fact (positivism)
and not to questions of value. The tradition of scientific
separatism has impeded the application of social research
to the formulation of policy to ameliorate social problems.
The instrumentalist philosophy developed in the tradition
of Thorstein Veblen and John Dewey rejects scientific separatism and the moral agnosticism that it imposes upon
scientific research. Instrumentalism rejects both extreme
moral relativism and moral absolutism and espouses unification of social science research and social policy through
emphasis upon institutional adjustment as a research focus.
As technological and social change occur, institutions become obsolete and lose their capability to organize human
activity toward coping with social problems. Instrumental
social science focuses upon identifying institutional lag and
proposing alternative adjustments to adapt institutions to
current social problems. This paper reviews the instrumentalist literature and applies it to current issues in family policy. The conclusion is that ideology and therefore institutions have lagged seriously behind social change in the
family area and that reducing this lag and preparing the
way for progress in family policy will require the social
scientist to become social reformer engaged in institutional
adjustment to empower women and children.

TOWARD ELIMINATING GENDER BIAS IN PERSONAL
INJURY AWARDS: CONTRIBUTIONS FROM FAMILY
ECONOMICS.
Janet E. Fast, Dept. of Family Studies, Univ. of
Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T6G 2E7.
In spite of recent advances in the treatment by the
Canadian legal system of women's personal injury claims,
gender bias remains. Using techniques developed by family
economists, recent court awards are examined for evidence
of gender bias. This examination shows systematic undercompensation of women victims of personal injury. Similarly, the evidence of family economists may be used to
better inform the courts as to the value of losses suffered in
order to reduce the occurrence and magnitude of such bias.
It is recommended that a combination of the two market
replacement cost methods (specialists and generalists)
provides the most appropriate guide to the courts in making
awards for lost housekeeping capacity.

DETERMINING APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES FOR
CERTIFYING FAMILY/DIVORCE MEDIATORS.
Deborah B. Gentry, CFLE, Home Econ. Dept., Ill. St.
Univ., Normal, IL 61761.
Data were collected from professional mediators, particularly family/divorce mediators (N = 379). This sur-veybased study investigated perceptions of benefits and problems for existing professional certification programs; perceptions of potential benefits and problems for pro-posed
mediator certification programming; and preferred and
disliked features for certification procedures. Sixty percent
of the respondents were certified by at least one certifying
body, typically NASW or AAMFT. Certified persons indicated satisfaction with the way purported benefits had
become a personal reality. Most respondents, whether
certified or not, were even more optimistic about the
advantages of proposed mediator certification. Respondents predicted problems associated with existing programs
would be even more problematic in the context of mediator
certification. Many recommendations and remedies were
identified. Results can be used to guide the process of
designing tools and procedures for a future voluntary
competency-based mediator certification program.

DROPPING OUT OF THERAPY AS SUCCESS: A
REEXAMINATION OF THE DROPOUT PHENOMENON.
Steve E. Humphries, Scott P. Gardner, Julianne
Serovich, Dept. of Human Dev. and Fam. Studies, Texas
Tech Univ., Box 41162, Lubbock, TX 79409.
In the past researchers and clinicians have focused on
12
dropout from therapy as a failure of therapy. The conceptualization of dropout as failure has been prevalent for individual and family therapists. In this paper a motivational
model of therapy that challenges this conception is proposed. Shapiro and Budman (1973) have described differences between individual therapy and family therapy dropout variables. The model described herein is designed to
focus on family variables contributing to dropout and is
based on a modification of Lewin's B = F(P,E) formula for
behavior. The formula used for the proposed model is B =
F(Fam,E). The model proposed that the decision to attend
therapy initially is a function of each family member's tension, needs, and power. These individual factors combine
to influence the family system motivation to attend therapy.
The system motivation to attend and continue therapy is
further mediated by physical, therapeutic, financial, and
community/social factors.

Approved Supervisors generated over 770 variables
thought to influence the outcome of marriage and family
therapy. During the second round, panelists rated approximately half of these variables as very important to MFT
outcome. The variables were collapsed into five categories
and then further divided into conceptual clusters. An ecological model of MFT systems was proposed and suggestions for testing the ecological systems model of MFT were

entry into the study, and again at 6 months after inclusion
in the study. The data were analyzed using Pearson and
Polyserial Con-elations, T-tests, and a path model using
Lisrel 7. Former spouse relationships were found to be
related to regularity of visitation and number of related
problems. Mediation did not significantly affect the quality
of the former spouse relationship in this study.

Marla L. Berg-Weger, Washington Univ., Box 1196,
St. Louis, MO 63130.
Using role and social exchange theories, ethical and
value assumptions underlying caregiver induction and the
impact on stress are examined. Caregiving can present ethical dilemmas based on societal/family tradition, relationships and expectations. It is hypothesized: willingness to
assume the role is associated with less stress; stress differs
with reason for caregiver selection; and willingness to assume the role differs by reason for selection. Data were
collected from daughters of elders with cardiac disease or
dementia. Controlling for race, marital status, SES, proximity and elder status, preliminary findings support the
hypotheses. Data on measurement of induction variables
and implications for practice is presented.

Minnesota, St. Paul, MN 55108.
This investigation defines the relationship between
functional ability, a new measure of determining health
status of the elderly, and a series of variables both traditionally and non-traditionally associated with health among
the elderly population. Data from the 1989 National Long
Term Care Survey are used (n = 4,098). The functional
ability indicator is an objective measure of an individual's
health based on their performance on 14 ADL and IADL
measures. Each respondent is assigned a functional ability
score based on their actual performance of the items. The
model for this study examines the role of family lifestyle,
attitude toward life, geographic location, income, ethnicity
and race, and other sociodemographic variables relationship to functional ability. The variables were organized into
a causal model. The overall results reveal an R2 = .29 (F =
78.16 p < .001) for the pooled model, and an R2 = 32 (F =
13.00 p < .001) for African-American respondents. The
results indicate that both groups of elderly men and women

Patricia Noller, Dept. of Psych. Uni of Queensland,
QLD, 4072; Bradley J. Strahan. Avondale Col.,
Cooranbong, NSW 2265, AUSTRALIA.
The application of attachment theory to the psychology religion has produced two broad hypotheses: the congruence and compensation hypotheses. The present study
explores the congruence between attachment and religious
belief and commitment for youth from religious families.
Two hundred and forty-nine students in a denominational
Col. completed questionnaire measures of the quality of
parental bonding and peer attachment, religious belief and
commitment, and religious intention. Results indicated that
maternal care indirectly predicted religious belief and commitment via comfort with closeness, whereas paternal overprotection directly predicted religious belief and commitment for females. The model explained 10 per cent of the
variance in religious commitment for females and 29 per
cent for males. Those reporting low comfort with closeness
scored significantly lower on the measure of religious belief and commitment, but did not differ from other attachment groups on religious intent. The results are interpreted
as supportive of the congruence hypothesis for young
people from religious families.

Using data collected from 100 rural African-American families, MANOVA's were conducted with each of the
three aspects of religiosity (Formal, Personal, and Social
Religiosity) used in this study, controlling for gender, on
the three ideological subscales of the Black Ethnocentrism
Scale (Black Pride, Separatist, and Integrationist). Main
effects were noted for Formal Religiosity on the Separationist subscale for both mothers and fathers, with lower
levels of Separationist scores being evidenced by those
more formally involved in their churches. A main effect
was also noted for Formal Religiosity on the Black Pride
subscale for mothers, with lower levels of Black Pride being associated with higher levels of formal involvement.
Father's Social Religiosity was found to be a predictor of
Pro-Black feelings of their children, irrespective of the

John B. Youngberg, CFLE, Prof. of Rei. Educ., Andrews
Univ., Berrien Springs, MI 49104.
The literature indicates that most studies of family
worship/devotions/prayers deal with importance, or "how
tos," with practically no work on theoretical model building. This study sought to anive at an empirical model of
the aims and methods of family worship in the Seventh-day
Adventist (SDA) Church. An instrument was prepared and
data was gathered from a random sample (N =466) of
SDAs in the Midwestern U.S. Factor analysis and regression analysis were employed. Two highly correlated (.83)
aims factors emerged which were labeled God-oriented and
Family-directed. Ten methods factors emerged with intercorrelations that were moderate to low. Three methods factors correlated meaningfully with the aims factors. They
were the Relational-Self Disclosure, Affirmation-Existential, and Prayer factors. Family worships were most effective for accomplishing the aims identified in this study
when they were highly relational with elements of selfdisclosure. Each individual present should experience a
personal sense of well-being and give and receive meaningful amounts of affirmation.

role of moral discourse in policies and research in areas of
individual discretion (e.g., sexuality, "underclass behaviors"); 3) the importance of making the "invisible" visible
in our research questions, theoretical models, and policy
initiatives; and 4) the challenge of exploring and

A TYPOLOGY OF SOUTHEAST ASIAN REFUGEE
FAMILIES.
Daniel F. Detzner and Jane Bennett, Family Social
Science Dept., Univ. of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN, 55108.
Although family is central to the identity of Southeast
Asian refugees, little is known about their multigenerational family systems during the stressful relocation process. Life history narratives of Vietnamese, Cambodian,
Hmong, and Laotian elderly refugees are developed into 40
family case studies and comparatively analyzed to generate
a preliminary typology. Families vary according to their
individual stories, structure, culture, interactions, and identity. A typology is useful to family theory for classification
of multigenerational refugee families and as a model for
service providers and family life educators.

DIVISION OF MARITAL ROLES IN MAINLAND CHINA,
TAIWAN, AND THE U.S.: A STUDY OF TWO
GENERATIONS.
Kuang-hua Hsieh, and Robert L. Burgess, Dept. of
Human Development & Family Studies, Penn State Univ.,
Univ. Park, PA 16802.
This study compares the sexual division of marital
roles for both middle-aged and young adult generations
across Mainland China, Taiwan, and the U.S. Data include
16
723 college students' reports of their parents' sharing of
marital roles and their own expected marital behavior in
the areas of financial responsibility, child care, (decisionmaking, and cooking. After controlling for gender, year of
birth, year in college, parents' education, number of
children, family economic status, and place of residence,
marital roles among Mainland Chinese parents were reported to be significantly more egalitarian than parents
from the other two societies. However, this societal difference diminishes for the college students" expected pattern
of marital roles for themselves, especially between Mainland China and the U.S. The paired t-test assessing intergenerational differences suggests progressive changes
toward marital equality in Taiwan and the U.S., but a lack
of progression in Mainland China. Different sociopolitical
systems and degrees of industrialization are proposed to
explain different social change processes of marital
equality among three societies.

THE CHANGING ETHICS AND VALUES ABOUT
CHINESE FAMILY LIFE.
Dai Kejing, Chinese Acad. of Soc. Sci., Div.of Mar.&
Fam. Stud., Inst. of Soc.
Societies and families are composed of interdependent parts which need each other, have influence on each
other and are basically in harmony with each other. The
Chinese family system, ethics and values about family life
are not purely random, they must be viewed in a social
context.
The Chinese society has undergone tremendous
changes in recent hundred years from traditional ancient
society to 1911 Revolution, 1949 Revolution, ten years of
so called cultural revolution and the recent decade of
"opening to the outside world."
The ethics and values about family life in China
changed and are changing in such historic periods due to
societal growth and especially due to different policy making in each period. This paper will analyze and discuss the
impact of different social context and social policy on the
ethics and values about Chinese family life and their
changing aspects such as about the significance of family
life, family relations, gender difference, and divorce. China
is a country of long history and vast territory, continuity
and variation in Chinese family life is everywhere. The
paper will also emphasize continuity versus change through
time and variation across geographical locations.

PARENT-CHILD RELATIONS IN CHINA AND THE
UNITED STATES: A CROSS-CULTURAL STUDY
Wen Zhao, Bernita Quoss, David Carson, Child and
Family Studies, Tracy Cross, Col. of Education, Univ. of
Wyoming, Laramie, WY 82071.
The one-child family policy of the People's Republic
of China introduced a major change in family interactions,
yet research focuses on children, with few studies of the
parent-child relationship. Effects of democratic versus
authoritarian parenting were examined through parent and
child surveys, for 50 Chinese children (9-10 yrs.) and their
85 parents and for 43 U.S. parents and their 32 children.
Cultural comparisons were analyzed by t-tests, and withingroup comparisons by one-way anova's. Effects of parenting style on children's satisfaction was analyzed by multiple regression. Both Chinese and U.S. parents reported
they use a democratic style, but Chinese children reported
their parents to be authoritarian. Authoritarian style predicted Chinese children's dissatisfaction with family rules
and ways of punishment, while the democratic style of U.S.
parents related to their children's satisfaction. These findings indicate some confusion and contradiction may exist
within some Chinese parent-child relationships, demonstrating the importance of further study of this relationship
in the first generation of one-child families in China.
MALES' ATTRIBUTIONS AND EXPECTANCIES ABOUT
POTENTIAL MATES AS A FUNCTION OF SEX ROLES.
Heather M. Helms-Erikson, Messiah Col., Grantham,
PA, 17027; Norman Epstein, Dept. of Fam. Stud., Univ. of
MD, Col. Park, MD, 20742.
This study investigates how sex roles influence mate
selection information-processing by examining attributions
and expectancies made about potential partners of different
sex-role orientations. Data were collected from 84 nevermarried, male, Col. students. Subjects with masculine, feminine, androgynous and undifferentiated sex roles (as
determined by the Bern Sex Role Inventory) were presented with two vignettes (one of a woman emphasizing the
importance of family and the other stressing the importance
of career) and asked to make attributions about each partner's characteristics. Expectancies about how the partners
would behave in a close relationship with the subject were
also assessed. Results are presented from a cognitive perspective with specific attention given to the influence of
belief systems on behavior. Implications for family educators and family researchers examining mate selection are
discussed.

ATTACHMENT THEORY & CHOICE OF ROMANTIC
PARTNERS.
Keith E. Davis & Kelley D. Chappell, Dept. of
Psych., U. of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208.
Data were collected from 192 undergraduates who
were asked to imagine themselves in a relationship with a
member of the opposite sex whose behavior exemplified
each of Bartholomew & Horowitz's (1991) 4 adult attachment types secure, preoccupied, fearful, & dismissive and
to report their emotional reactions to the potential partner
and their likelihood of developing the relationship to marriage. Participants were classified by self-rating procedures
into each of the 4 attachment types so that the role of attachment style in influencing partner preference and partner choice could be determined. The findings of Pietromonaco & Carnelley (1992) were replicated and extended.
Secure partners are preferred to insecure partners by all
participants, but among the insecure attachment types,
preoccupied Ss preferred fearful avoidant partners and
fearful avoidant partners preferred preoccupied partners.
These data suggest a causal role for attachment style in the
development of romantic pairing and help to explain the
relative absence of preoccupied or avoidant pairs in
naturalistic studies of couples.

MULTIDIMENSIONAL COMPATIBILITY AND
COURTSHIP EXPERIENCES.
Renate Houts, Ted Huston, Dept. of Human Ecol., U
of TX, Austin, TX 78712.
Data from 168 newly-married couples, identified
from marriage license records maintained in four counties
central Pennsylvania, were used to examine the affects of
compatibility in leisure interests, preferences for the
division of instrumental tasks, and gender role attitudes on
retrospective reports of courtship events, taking into account the structure of the population with regard to the
preferences. Assortative mating occurs with regard to all
three areas studied, with both men and women marrying
people with whom they are better matched than expected
(given the distribution of the attributes in the sample).
Individuals whose ideas were common in the sample
tended to report more positive and fewer negative courtship events. Couples who were better matched reported
fewer negative events. Women's reports of courtship events
were related to preferences regarding instrumental roles;
men's reports of courtship events were tied to preferences
for leisure interests.

THE RELATIONSHIP OF POWER AND SELFDISCLOSURE IN DATING AND MARRIED COUPLES.
Bernard I. Murstein, Elizabeth R. Adler, Dept. of
Psychology, Connecticut Col., New London, CT 06320.
The relationship of power and self-disclosure was
studied for a sample of 20 dating and 20 married couples.
Special power and self-disclosure scales were constructed
and administered individually. The hypotheses were:
1) Women disclose more about feelings than men. 2) Men
disclose more about accomplishments than women. 3)
Power is correlated with disclosure of accomplishments. 4)
Lack of power is correlated with disclosure of feelings and
weaknesses. 5) During the dating stage, men disclose more
than women. 6) During marriage, men disclose less than
women.
Hypotheses 1, 3, and 6 were supported. Hypotheses
2, 4, and 5 were rejected. Other findings were: no differences in power between men and women for the total
group. Dating men, however, were more powerful. Women
disclosed more than men across both groups. Women's
disclosure about accomplishments correlated significantly
with men's lack of power across all groups and particularly
in marriage.

The aim of these symposia is to provide a macro
analysis of moral discourse and the socio-political construction of ethnic minorities drawing specific connections
to research and theory on gender, culture, and family process and the critique and development of public policy.
Part I focuses on research and theory and Part II centers
on areas of public policy that are particularly relevant to
ethnic minority populations. In these symposia, several
key themes are addressed: 1) the ways in which moral
discourse and social constructions of race, culture, gender,
and class have framed research questions, theoretical
models, and public policy that target ethnic minorities; 2)
the role of moral discourse in policies and research in
areas of individual discretion (e.g., sexuality, "underclass
behaviors"); 3) the importance of making the "invisible"
visible in our research questions, theoretical models, and
policy initiatives; and 4) the challenge of exploring and
interpreting differences within and across ethnic groups.

As teachers, we feel a moral obligation to learn and
teach about passionate issues: race and ethnicity, gender,
social class, age, sexual orientation, physical ability, and
their intersection. We learned little of these issues as
graduate students and mainstream family studies literature
is still not always inclusive of them. Our teaching process
entails many struggles: striving for authenticity about and
empathy with those who are different, avoiding cultural
relativism, using nontraditional pedagogical techniques,
and remaining true to ourselves before students who
disagree with our views. In this symposium, we relate how
we deal with these issues and our discussant finds patterns

are studied, research methodologies are often flawed with
conceptual and methodological problems. This symposium
will focus on the development of culturally sensitive methods and measures utilized in a longitudinal study of African
American families with a chronically ill member. Highlighted in this symposium will be: a discussion of sampling
strategies employed to recruit a chronically ill population,
involvement of health care professionals in studies of the
chronically ill, recruitment and retention of African American families, and the development of quantitative and

HIV/A!DS INSTRUCTION MAKES A SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCE: STUDENTS HAVE HIGHER KNOWLEDGE LEVEL AND REPORT MORE TOLERANT
ATTITUDES.
Maryanne Doherty-Poirier, and Brenda Munro,
Dept. of Family Studies, 3-55 Assiniboia Hall, Univ. of
Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T6G 2E7.
Adolescents are particularly at risk for contacting
HIV/AIDS. A large proportion is sexually active or has at
least experimented with intercourse. Therefore, including
preventive HIV/AIDS instruction in Sch. curriculum that
increases student knowledge, enhances tolerant attitudes
and increases healthy intentions about future sexual behaviour is supported. There has been limited research about
which instructional strategies or support resources are more
effective and consequently, this research was completed.
The students for this sample were collected from 128
Sch.s in 31 Sch. jurisdictions across the province of
Alberta. A total of 5,745 student questionnaires were
analyzed. A quasi-experimental research design was used.
Students belonged to either the control or treatment group.
Overall, HIV/AIDS instruction provided primarily by a
teacher in regular classroom activities was more effective.
Student print resources that were read or used in class were
also effective. These findings are very relevant for family
life educators responsible for HIV/AIDS instruction.

The U.S. has the highest teen pregnancy rate of developed countries. We report findings from the sexual activity prevention component of a broader program in Boys
& Girls Clubs that also aimed to prevent drug use. The
total program is based on the personal and social competence model of prevention and employs a postponement
approach to sexual activity without contraceptive information. The study sought to determine: (1) whether the Stay·
SMART program would produce effects for sexual behavior, sex attitudes, and sexual knowledge, and (2) whether
adding a 2-year booster program would enhance program
effects. Results reported are for 161 youths at all4 testing
occasions over 27 months in 3 groups of clubs. Fewer teens
in the Stay SMART Only and Stay SMART+-Boosters
conditions reported sexual intercourse in the last 30 days,
relative to youths in the control condition. Teens in the Stay
SMART Only and the Stay SMART+ Boosters conditions
also perceived fewer social advantages from engaging in
sexual activity than did the control youths.

The researchers sought to determine the critical components necessary to create a teen parenting program, the
specific persons/groups instrumental in the initiation process, those specific persons/groups identified as advocates
and/or resources, and those specific persons/ groups identified as adversaries.
A questionnaire was developed by the researchers.
The sample frame was taken from a Texas Education
Agency HE Division's list of school districts with teen parenting programs. A total of 205 questionnaires were mailed
to school district superintendents, school board presidents,
and teen parenting directors. A final return rate of 62%
provided 127 usable questionnaires.
Data were analyzed with frequencies, t-tests, and one
way analysis of variance using SPSS. Results indicated no
significant differences based on the size of the school districts nor among school district positions on selected questions and a majority of all respondents believed there was
limited public resistance to the implementation of their teen
parenting program. School administrators, home economics teachers, school counselors, and health care professions

School data were collected for teenagers living in
families receiving AFDC or formerly receiving aid (N =

three years of the Wisconsin "Learnfare" experiment, requiring teens to regularly attend school as a condition for
AFDC support. Lagged regression models which controlled for differences in age, grade level, exceptional education status, sex, race, and months on AFDC were used to
measure changes in days of attendance. Evaluators also
reviewed Milwaukee County Children's Court and social
service records for 6,612 families sanctioned under "Learnfare" to identify any history of reported child abuse or neglect or delinquency for youth in families penalized. Findings raise serious questions about the failure of the policy
to change school attendance patterns and its social consequences for families, particularly for teen mothers
sanctioned for failure to return to high Sch ..

CHALLENGING THE SELF-SUFFICIENCY ETHIC:
FINDINGS FROM A STUDY OF SINGLE MOTHERS IN
TRANSITION FROM WELFARE.
Louise A. Parker, Washington State Univ. Research
& Ext. Ctr., 7612 Pioneer Way E., Puyallup, WA 98371.
A study was designed to explore a model integrating
human capital, family resource, employment and psychosocial factors in examining the transition of single mothers
on welfare to economic self-sufficiency. A sample of 851
mothers on AFDC was selected from the Washington State
Family Income Study. Data from a three-year period (6/885/91) were utilized. Economic self-sufficiency was defined
as the ratio of welfare benefits to household income. In the
final path model, education was only moderately significant in reducing degree of welfare reliance. Workplace
support had the most significant impact, after controlling
for differences in human capital, family resources and
employment activity. Sense of personal control and social
support had both direct and indirect effects on welfare
reliance, suggesting that family stress models are appropriate for examining economic outcomes. Findings suggest
that creation of jobs with adequate wages and family-supportive benefits should be as central to welfare reform as
human capital investments in individuals.

YOUNG FATHERS: WHO ARE THEY? DO WE VALUE
THE ROLES THEY PLAY IN THEIR CHILDREN'S
LIVES?
Helen E. Petracchi, Sch. of Social Work, Univ. of
Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260.
Teen childbearing remains a troubling issue because
we continue to ignore fathers. Attention to fathers, and the
meaning of fatherhood, will help us understand the values
inherent in our treatment of this issue, guiding in better
social policy development. This presentation discusses the
historical lack of attention paid to fathers, particularly
young fathers. Results of a study (utilizing data on a probability sample of 6402 young men from the NLSY) answers the questions, "Who are the fathers of adolescent
mothers' /babies likely to be?'' "What are the roles played
by these young fathers in the lives of their children?"
Results suggest fathers of teen mothers' babies are likely
adult men, most of whom live with their first-born children
or maintain some contact with their noncustodial children.
OLS and logistic regression results indicate becoming a
young father has negative implications for years of completed schooling; implications that may extend to his employability and subsequent ability to provide financial
support to his noncustodial children.

UNDERSTANDING THE RESEARCH PROCESS: A
MODEL FOR GUIDING STUDENTS IN THE FAMILY
SCIENCES.
Mark J. Benson, Dept. of Fam. & Child Dev., VA
Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061-0416.
This paper introduces a model for understanding the
research process by conceptualizing the elements of scientific practice. The model delineates seven components of
the research process and four components that a student
could possibly use in originating a topic. Identifying the
student's distinctive starting point is a valuable first step in
individualizing the plan for progress on the proposal. Each
of these potential starting points are illustrated with depictions of common student characteristics, delineation of the
pertinent research challenges, and recommendations for
solving characteristic problems. Although the components
provide a useful means for understanding the research process, it is argued that the linkages between the components
engender the production of new knowledge. For each of
these linkages, steps in creative integration are described.

The acknowledged need to provide ethical training
stimulated development of a unit on ethics for seniors in
the Child and Family Services professional track of an
undergraduate university program. A three-tiered foundation of knowledge involved: 1) exploration of eight general
roles graduates might expect to perform; 2) examination of
major guiding principles used by established professions;
3) considerations of the habit of ethical reasoning, based on
examination of several approaches. Students then met in
small groups to analyze specific ethical situations. When
the groups presented their analyses, a panel of professionals assisted the general discussion. The philosophy of
empowerment guided this work.

HISTORICAL CHANGE AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS IN
FAMILIES.
Edward L. Kain, Dept. of Sociology, Southwestern
Univ., Georgetown, TX 78626.
Historical context is critical in setting the stage for
any discussion of social problems in families. This paper
examines the literature on social problems in families and
places these issues in historical context. Data presented in
the paper illustrate that the moral discourse on families is
shaped by the types of data which are used.
Two examples given in the paper are teen pregnancy
and infant mortality. A recent article on family problems
(Tiesel and Olson, 1992) argues that both of these problems are the result of "troubling trends" in the data. Looking at longer-term data on teen pregnancy and infant mortality, however, shows that both have declined significantly
22
over the last century. While the importance of these two
social issues remains, the moral discourse shifts when they
are placed in a broader historical context.

Letters written between 1925 and 1939 by middle

educator and author Angelo Patri (1876-1965) are content
analyzed to provide a profile of father involvement in middle class families between the two world wars. The analysis
suggests that the traditional view of yesterday's dads, supported by the findings from the early Middletown Studies,
needs to be revised to include the fact that there were fathers in the early 20th century who were intimately involved
in the lives of their children. Implications for evaluating the
involvement levels oftoday's fathers are discussed.

This study attempted to examine and compare the
characteristics of 60 adult child caregivers in rural Japan
and 44 adult child caregivers in rural United States. The
areas of characteristics included aging/caregiver knowledge, family caregivers' attitude toward caregiving, relationship quality, type and frequency of support provided by
family caregivers, family caregiver strain, and perceived
rewards of family caregiving. The findings of this crosscultural study in both countries indicated similarities and
differences in the characteristics of adult child caregivers.
Regarding caregiver strain, rural Japanese caregivers experienced more stress than rural American caregivers.
Rural U.S. respondents expressed better relationship quality than rural Japanese respondents. Both caregiver strain
and relationship quality were related to perception of caregiver rewards for the U.S., but not the Japanese, sample.

Values regarding characteristics of children, the marriage relationship, and arrangements for care of children
were compared in four countries to examine similarities in
conceptualization of values and to determine whether there
were differences in extent to which specific values were
held. Data were collected from 1,718 couples in Tbilisi,
Georgia; Samara, Russia; and Lodz, Poland. USA data
were from the NSFH. Questionnaire items from the NSFH
were translated into Georgian, Russian, and Polish
languages. There were both similarities and differences in
conceptualization of values both between spouses and
among countries. In terms of differences, USA spouses
were least traditional and most likely to be egalitarian in
their values. Georgians and Russians were the most

BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN RESEARCH AND
PRACTICE.
Stephen Small, Dept. of Soc., Univ. ofWI-Madison,
Madison, WI 53706.
This session is a follow-up on the 1992 workshop led
by Dr. Small and Richard Lerner.
The fields involved in the study of family and human
development have had a difficult time linking research and
theory to the needs of policy makers, practitioners, and the
public. This failure to link research to action stems from a
variety of factors including graduate training which does
not adequately prepare scholars to conduct applied research or translate findings to non-researchers, an increasingly narrow definition of scholarly activity, and the failure
of most researchers to recognize that research is a reciprocal process that should be guided not only by current
theoretical developments and personal interests but by the
pressing social problems and policy concerns that affect
society. This symposium is a hands-on session that examines the validity of these issues, identifies factors that had
led to the emergence of the gap between research and practice, and makes recommendations to researchers, professionals, and others on what can be done.

Midlife women are frequently caught in the multiple
"pulls" of changing parental relationships with their own
children, reentering the active parent role with grandchildren, caring for aging relatives, and continuing or entering
employment. The burdens and satisfactions of all of these
roles tend to impinge upon them at the same time.
This symposium will provide recent findings on each
role, their impact upon personal lives, and responses of

Discussant: Jan Trost, (as above)
Within various frameworks one finds several
variations in the meaning of the concept marriage as well
as that of family. Sometimes marriage is legally defined as
common-law; sometimes an opposite gender cohabiting
couple is defined as married, sometimes a same gender
couple is. In some countries even one person can be
labelled family; in some countries a group cannot be a
family unless it contains a child of minor age; definition of
minor age varies; etc.
Variations in conceptualization are to some extent
culture bound both when taking the perspectives of the
scholars, the practitioners and the individuals themselves.
The aim of this symposium is to scrutinize the meaning of
terms connected to conceptualizations within the broad
family and marriage realms, and to highlight theoretical,
practical, empirical, and political implications of certain
terminological practices.

ETHICAL SUPPORT FOR FATHER INCLUSION IN
FAMILY CENTERED MATERNAL CHILD HEALTH
SERVICES.
Audrey A. Bryan, Dept. of Family Health Nursing,
Univ. ofWisconsin-Eau Claire, Eau Claire, WI 54702.
Inclusion of fathers/support persons in psychosocial
and parent educational aspects of maternal-child health
care is supported using ethical principles. Benefits of father
involvement for child and maternal support are supported
in the literature. Yet professionals may find their personal
values or unexamined practices result in parenting and
relationship information going to the mother alone, especially in socially high-risk families. Harm may be done to
family role development when child care information is
exclusively given to the mother. Beneficence, justice and
autonomy support provision of services to fathers, but not
only to those fathers who seek it due to prior knowledge of
24
its importance. Application of ethical principles within the
framework of an ethic of caring can guide their use so that
conflicting needs and wants of mother, father and child can
be addressed in ways that respect individual and family
values, are cognizant of the professional's personal values,
and aim toward decreasing both father-absence and
patriarchy.

PARENTAL VALUES & THE SEXUALITY EDUCATION
OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN.
Margie J. Geasler, Linda L. Dannison & Connie J.
Edlund, CFLE, Dept. of Cons. Res. and Tech., Western
Michigan Univ., Kalamazoo, MI 49008
The purpose of this research is to identify sexuality
topics or events frequently encountered in the preschool
child's home, issues of concern to parents and underlying
parental values. Focus groups were used to collect data
from twenty-eight (28) mothers and fathers of preschool
children.
Nudity, language, safety, pregnancy and childbirth,
masturbation, and AIDS were the topics/events encountered most commonly in these homes. Analysis suggests
parents value privacy, truthfulness, acceptance and appreciation of the body, developing self esteem, communication,
responsibility, safety, gender roles, and self discipline to
differing degrees.
Implications for programming including examining
parental values, the process of making moral judgments,
identifying comfort limits and alternative parental behaviors to use when comfort limits are reached will be
addressed.

AUTHORIZING, FOREGOING, OR WITHDRAWING
LIFE SUPPORT: VALUES OF PARENTS AND

MarkS. Kirschbaum, Minneapolis Children's
Hospital, Mpls., MN.
Parents of twenty children with life-threatening illnesses were interviewed regarding their experience while
making the decision to authorize, forego, or withdraw life
support technology for their child. An exploratory descriptive design was employed, in the traditions of phenomenology. Parents were interviewed in their homes within six
to twelve months of decision and return visits utilized to
establish internal validity of coded themes. Content analysis yielded dominant values themes: "life," "quality of
life," "suffering," "not self," "respect for person," "family,"
and "faith." Parents advocated intervening with more technology until there was "nothing left" to offer. Dominant
themes of both "caring" behaviors and "callous disregard"
characterized professionals working with these ambivalent

149 couples were asked whether artificial insemination, in-vitro fertilization, ovum donation, and surrogate
motherhood caused them concerns re: (1) artificiality; (2)
sexual impropriety; (3) difficulty in accepting child; (4)
danger; (5) religious principles. The paper examines the
influence of gender, age, religion, ethnicity, income, education, previous treatment and outcome. The extent to which
treatments comprise a Guttman scale of ethical judgements
is shown. Findings are examined in the context of U.S.,

Bette Ide, Sch. of Nursing, Univ. ofWyoming, Bernita
Quoss, Child and Family Studies, Univ. of Wyoming, and
Randy Weigel, Coop. Ext. Serv., Univ. of Wyoming.
This study examined the relationship between family
hardiness, stress, and perceived illnesses in Idaho farm and
ranch families. Multiple regression analyses indicated that
family strains, and stressors unique to farming and ranching, were predictive of the overall degree of perceived illness in these families. Further, a factorial analysis of variance showed that husbands and wives evaluating their families as high in hardiness and low in stress, low in hardiness
and low in stress, and high in hardiness and high in stress,
reported significantly less illnesses in their families than
those in the high stress/low hardiness group. The results
have implications for family specialists and health care
professionals who are interested in reducing illness and
increasing wellness in farm and ranch families, particularly
those designated as high risk.

TEMPERAMENT AND FAMILY ROLES AS
MODERATORS OF FAMILY OF ORIGIN INFLUENCES
ON YOUNG ADULT ABUSIVE DRINKING.
Judith L. Fischer and RichardS. Wampler. Human
Development and Family Studies, Texas Tech Univ.,
Lubbock, TX 79409.
This study examines the proposition that the important question in studies of family socialization is not a general one ("What is the impact of family dysfunction on offspring"?) but a more specific one: "Which children are
more influenced by family of origin and what are these effects?" Specifically, the study tests the hypotheses that family roles and personal temperament moderate the effects of
family of origin on a young adult's abusive drinking. Research on 674 college students aged 18-22 found that the
hero role acted as a buffer between the family of origin and
the young adult's problem behavior; however, the scapegoat role was associated with vulnerability to a dysfunctional family of origin. In addition, certain temperaments as
reflected in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator either buffered against or heightened vulnerability of the young adults
to family of origin dysfunction. These findings support the
guiding proposition of the research.

ECONOMIC PRESSURE, PARENT EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, AND ADOLESCENT SCHOOL PERFORMANCE:
THE EFFECTS OF NURTURANTIINVOLVED
PARENTING.
Janet N. Melby, Xiao-Jia Ge, & Rand D. Conger. Ctr.
for Family Research, Iowa State Univ., Ames, lA 50010.
We extend previous work on the relationship between
parental behaviors and adolescent school performance using 3-waves of panel data on 379 adolescents from rural
intact families. Informants include adolescents, mothers,
fathers, and trained observers. Structural equation models
(controlling SES) show family economic pressure and
parents' emotional distress are related to adolescent school
performance. Parents' high (but not low) positive parenting
moderates the relationship between spouses' emotional
distress and adolescent school performance. Results underscore the role of fathers' positive parenting in buffering
effects of mothers' emotional distress on adolescent school
performance.

LOSS WITHIN THE FAMILY, ADOLESCENT ANGER
ANDADOLESCENTPROBLEM BEHAVIOR.
Mary F. Kollar, Col. of Nursing; Jo Lynn
Cunningham, Col. of Human Ecology, Univ. of Tennessee,
Knoxville, TN 37996; Maureen E. Groer, MGH Inst. of
Health Profession, Boston, MA 02114.
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between loss within the family, adolescent anger,
and adolescent problem behavior by testing three models; a
direct model, an indirect (mediating) model, and a moderating model. The conceptual frameworks used were family
systems theory and attachment theory. This study was a
secondary analysis of an existing data set. Data were collected from senior high Sch. students (N = 411). A selfreport questionnaire was used to measure the data. Data
analysis involved the use of multiple regression analyses.
The findings for each of these models are presented. Each
model represented a different process through which loss
within the family was related to adolescent problem behaviors. This was recognized as a first step at theorizing, identifying, and testing three models that included variables
involving the family environment, an adolescent emotion,
and adolescent problem behavior. Implications for family
practitioners, counselors, and health professionals that are
involved in high level wellness for the adolescents and
their families are presented.
HOUSING ADJUSTMENT BEHAVIOR OF RESIDENTS
IN LOW INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS.
Lee Ann De Reus, Shelley MacDermid, Dena B.
Targ, Dept. of Child Dev. and Family Studies, Purdue
Univ., West Lafayette, IN, 47907.
The purpose of this study is to better understand who
lives in low income neighborhoods and why. Morris' Housing Adjustment Models (1976, 1988) were used as a guide
for the study. According to the model, if a family's housing
fails to meet their needs, dissatisfaction occurs which leads
to a desire and expectations about moving. However, the
model did not consider the effects of a respondent's "perceived constraints" on their mobility expectations nor their
familial coping skills. Both of these constructs were added
to the model. Data were collected from heads of households (N = 161) and analyzed with path analysis. The Cultural and Structural theories of poverty were used to interpret the results with the Structural theory being best supported. The results show that many respondents desired
better housing but faced financial barriers, decreasing
expectations. Coping skills were not deficient but similar to
findings among middle income groups. Implications for the
local community and future housing research in Family
Studies are presented.

EXPENDITURES OF HOUSEHOLDS HEADED BY BABY
BOOMERS WITH NO SPOUSE PRESENT.
Julia M. Dinkins, Family Economics Res. Group,
Agricultural Res. Serv., USDA, Hyattsville, MD 20782.
Changes in household composition and family structure since 1960 have affected economic well-being of baby
boomers. This study examines expenditures of female and
male householders with no spouse present. Data are from
the 1990 Consumer Expenditure Survey. Annual mean
expenditures were $20,016 for females and $23,385 for
males. T-test results showed that females had a significantly lower total expenditure and lower expenditures for
food away from home, shelter, entertainment, cash contributions and gifts to persons outside the household, alimony
and child support, insurance and pensions, and miscellaneous goods and services than males had. Males had significantly lower expenditures for food at home, utilities,
apparel, personal care, and baby-sitting and day care.
Expenditures for transportation, household operations,
home furnishings and equipment, charitable donations, and
health did not differ significantly. Results suggest that
expenditures of these households differ and reflect baby
boomers' household composition and family structure.
TIMING OF MENARCHE, AMONG POOR AND RURAL
APPALACHIAN FEMALES: IMPACT ON PERCEPTIONS
OF MATERNAL ACCEPTANCE.
Lynn Blinn-Pike, CFLE, HDFS, U. of Missouri,
Columbia, MO 65211.
Survey data using the Parental Acceptance-Rejection
Questionnaire (Rohner, 1980) were collected from 148 1112-year-old rural Appalachian adolescents. Seventy had
begun menstruating and 89 had family incomes at 135% of
the national poverty level. This is a significant study because the interplay between menarcheal status, poverty and
rural residence have not been previously examined. The
major research questions asked (1) the impact of menarche
on perceptions of maternal acceptance, and (2) the impact
of poverty status on perceptions of maternal acceptance.
The results pointed out that poverty seems to be a significant predictor of feelings of maternal rejection. The combination of perceived maternal rejection, poverty and early
puberty places the early adolescent at high risk for early
sexual activity and early childbearing.

During her address she plans to remind us of why
family matters and how we, as a society, can help to stem
the tide of its decline. She will explore what families do
that no other institution can do, and why we have such a

A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF CHRISTIAN BOOKS FOR
MEN.
John D. Sorenson & Ruth Sather Sorenson, Dept. of
Soc., Augustana Col., Sioux Falls, SD, 57197.
Previous studies by the authors reviewed books and
magazines on marriage and family written from a Christian
perspective. The authors continue this research agenda with
a content analysis of Christian books for men (N = 25).
The study focuses on the role expectations set by Christian
writers and the authority these authors cite to justify their
claims. Findings indicated that authors used both the Bible
and social science knowledge as the basis for their advice.
While many of the books advocated traditional male roles,
others presented more egalitarian role structures. Generally, these books recognized that men have feelings and can
express them.

ABUSE EXPERIENCES OF LUTHERAN WOMEN.
Ruth Sather Sorenson, Dept. of Soc., Augustana Col.,
Sioux Falls, SD, 57197.
Conservative religious families have been found to
create an atmosphere conducive to abuse through their value systems, which promote a submissive role for women,
but little was known about the relationship between mainstream religions and abuse. Based on a mailed survey of
women in the South Dakota Synod of the Evangelical Luth.
Church in America (N = 345), the author investigated the
abuse experiences of women in the church. Although the
Lutheran church does not overtly promote a submissive
role for women, parallels were found between the abuse
experiences of women in the Lutheran church and abuse
experiences of members of more conservative religions.
Also, abuse experiences were found to impact negatively
on future participation in the church. Survey results indicate that pastors should be concerned about abuse both as a
social justice and as an organizational issue.

Data from 317 ministers' families from 5 denominations was used to test a family adaptation scale for ministers' families for reliability and construct validity. Tests
showed the scale both reliable & valid.
Implications for the study indicate the scale is useful
for measuring family adaptation in ministers' families. This
tool is useful for those agents attempting to assess the functioning level within these families. Further testing with
other samples is needed.

Susan H. Peet, Dept. of Child Dev. & Family Studies,
Purdue Univ., West Lafayette, IN 47907-1267.
Sixty mothers and fathers of a three-year-old child
(30 boys and 30 girls) completed a structured interview
regarding 28 information sources parents commonly utilize
when wanting information about their child's social, motor
and cognitive development. A relatively small percentage
of parents reported utilizing intuitions, beliefs and experiences as information sources as compared to professional,
personal and mass media information sources. The largest
percentage of mothers utilized mass media and professional information sources, whereas the largest percentage
of fathers utilized intuitions and personal information
sources. Among the parents who report utilizing intuitions
as information sources, they utilize these source more
frequently with regard to the child's social development
than cognitive or motor development.

Bruce A. Chadwick, Ctr. for Studies of the Family; H.
Dean Garrett, Church History, Brigham Young Univ.,
Provo, UT 84602.
This study explored the relationship between religiosity, employment and division of family roles among
LDS women. Church leaders strongly encourage women
with children to remain in the home. It was hypothesized
that highly religious women would be less likely to be in
the labor force and to have a traditional division of family
labor. It was anticipated that religious working women
would display greater variety in the division of labor, while
nonreligious working women would report the most egalitarian division of family roles. Data were collected from a
sample of 3000 women age 20 to 60 living along the
Wasatch Front in Utah. Religiosity was measured by
beliefs, private behavior and public behavior. Labor force
participation included current employment status and
percent of adult life in th~ work force. Information about
who should and does perform nine family roles was
obtained. The results supported the hypotheses.

Carol Masheter, U. of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT
84112.
Three case studies on post-divorce friendship
between ex-spouses address research questions raised by
the shared-reality and inevitable-discrepancy literatures
using content and episode analyses: (1) At what level must
partners agree in order to have a mutually satisfying
relationship, e.g., (la) partners' general and (1 b) specific
descriptions, (lc) events, and/or (ld) interpretations of
their relationship? (2) Can partners accept disagreement at
any or all levels? (3) How much variation among couples
exists? Findings suggest that couples must agree on general
description but may disagree on the other levels. Shared
reality and inevitable discrepancy may describe different
types of couples or aspects of relationships.

The purpose of this paper was to examine the abilities
of adults and adolescents to perceive the moral reasoning
abilities of themselves and each other. Data were collected
from two studies. In the first study, 146 adults were randomly assigned to one of five perspective conditions, and
administered Rest's Defining Issues Test. In the second
study, 112 parents and their adolescents took the DIS from
different perspectives. The data were viewed from a cognitive-developmental perspective. Results indicated that
adults and adolescents are capable of perceiving differences between the moral reasoning of adolescents who
vary as a function of social and family status. Implications
for family scientists, practitioners, and family educators are
presented.

THE MODEL MONOPOLY OF THE NUCLEAR FAMILY.
Irene Levin, Dept. of Soc. Work, Univ. of Trondheim,
7055 Dragvoll, Norway.
When we talk about family in our society, we think of
the nuclear family, parent and children living in the same
household. The nuclear family stands for the family form,
which our culture refers to as the "real" family, the way
family is or should be. The term "intact" family indicates
that other family forms "not-intact".
Today the nuclear family functions as the superior
family model and has what Brten (1973) calls a model
monopoly. It becomes the model the individuals try to copy
and on society level it is normative. It is the family form
other types of family are compared with either directly or
indirectly, as if they were the same.
The model monopoly of the nuclear family makes
other family forms variants of the nuclear family. The aim
for family scholars should be to consider not only hyphen
families as variants, but also the nuclear family as a variant
of family.

(CTF) in a Southeastern state was developed. Eleven established, high-quality primary prevention programs were
selected to participate in the evaluation project. Programs
were categorized into three broad categories: (a) hospitalbased programs, (b) parenting programs, and (c) Schoolbased programs. The threefold process of developing an
evaluation strategy will be presented: (l) conduct site visits
to determine individual program goals and objectives, (2)
review and summarize relevant child abuse prevention
literature to emphasize the research on important variables,
and (3) create a "menu" of evaluation outcome measures
that reflects the goals and objectives of the various programs, as well as important outcomes identified in the
research literature. Outcome data will be presented to
highlight the evaluation process.

Dev., Auburn Univ., Auburn, AL 36849.
946 family measurement instruments were identified
in a search of social science literature (1929-88). The following constituted at least 5% of the total number of instruments in 3 categories: type (paper-and-pencil, 708; observational, 104; interview, 76), content (parenting, 283;
multidimensional perspectives/overall family interaction,
147; roles, 94; marital relations, 74; love, 56; power, 52),
30
and target (parent-child, 330; husband-wife, 275; nuclear
family, 219). Analyses revealed three types of trends:
steady growth; slow growth followed by rapid growth, then
slow growth again; and no trend.

Fewer than 15% of American families (1991 Census)
constitute the traditional family yet other forms tend to be
viewed as deficient. Few instruments exist which can
measure family life quality in non-traditional families. The
Perceptual Indicators of Family Life Quality (PIFLQ;
Rettig, Danes, and Bauer, 1991), was developed and tested
on a traditional population. This family-life quality investigation includes young adult college students from a variety
of family forms. The internal consistency for the total scale
was identical in the two studies (r = .97; and the mean family life quality scores for the two groups was quite similar
(M = 5.7 vs. M = 5.6). Further subscale analyses and
predictive validity analyses are planned.

ASSESSING CHANGE WITH PREVENTIVE
INTERVENTIONS: THE RELIABLE CHANGE INDEX.
Dale Hawley, North Dakota State Univ., Fargo, ND
58102.
Several authors have suggested that assessing
changes in treatment by relying solely on analysis of group
means is clinically insufficient. In addition to standard
conventions for evaluating treatment effectiveness,
Jacobson (Jacobson, Follette, & Revenstorf, 1984;
Jacobson & Revenstorf, 1988) has proposed the use of a
frequency distribution describing the proportion of improved cases which utilizes two criteria: 1) an established
cutoff point for clinically significant change and 2) an
index measuring the reliability of that change. This
presentation offers a comparison of the latter part of
Jacobson's procedure (known as the Reliability Change
Index) with a conventional analysis of group means
(ANCOVA). A sample of 71 newlywed couples were given
ENRICH prior to and immediately following participation
in one of three marital enrichment programs. Using
ANCOVA, significant differences were found among the
groups for two of twelve assessed variables; post hoc
procedures identified differences among the specific
programs. Large differences were found using the RC
index for the same variables and among the same
programs. However, large differences were also found for
1993 NCFR Conference

through ANCOVA, suggesting support for using this type
of analysis in addition to more conventional methods in
evaluating treatment effectiveness. Implications for using
the RC with a non-clinical population are discussed.

Suzanne E. Bartle, Dept. Family Rei. and Human
Dev., The Ohio State Univ., Columbus, OH 43210.
The data from two studies are summarized as evidence for the validity of a new assessment tool, the behavioral and emotional reactivity index (BERI). This tool is
designed to assess emotional reactivity as an indicator of
failure in the individuation process. Factor analysis results
and correlations between the BERI and measures of emotional autonomy, personal adjustment and family differentiation are presented providing evidence for the construct
validity of the instrument. Research and clinical
applications will be discussed.

A PARADIGM OF ROLES IN THE DIVORCE PROCESS:
IMPLICATIONS OF DIVORCE ROLE FOR ADJUSTMENT, COMMITMENT AND IDENTITY
DEVELOPMENT.
Dana Vannoy, Arts & Sciences, ML #37, Univ. of
Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio 45221.
This paper presents a new paradigm of roles played
in the separating process. By combining three variables
that describe pairs of interacting roles played by marriage
partners who separate, this paradigm identifies three types
of divorce circumstances (the abandonment, the set-up, and
the escape), and six types of individual divorce experience
(the abandoned, the abandoner, the setup, the setter-upper,
the escapee, the escaped). The paradigm provides a clear
picture of alternative circumstances in separation which
can offer insight for predicting individual change after
divorce.

Blacksburg, VA 24061-0416.
Attachment, when conceptualized as preoccupation
and disbelief, has been found to have important implications for psychological adjustment postdivorce. In particular, continued attachment to a former spouse has been
found to be associated with increased levels of subjective
distress. The purpose of the current study was to investigate relevant variables which influence the level of
attachment to the former spouse as reported by divorced
mothers. A path model was posited based on theoretical
and empirical considerations which highlighted the central
role of the relationship between former spouses. Survey
data from 225 divorced mothers was used in testing the
explanatory power of the variables proposed in the model.
Path coefficients and their level of significance were
obtained by running a series of standard multiple regressions. It was expected that the relationship with the former
spouse would be negatively correlated to attachment.
Results as well as implications for future research and
therapy will be discussed.

RELATIONSHIP TERMINATION AND THE FISHER
DIVORCE ADJUSTMENT SCALE: A COMPARATIVE
STUDY.
Robert Hensley, Dept. of Psy., Kirkwood Commun.
Col., Cedar Rapids, lA 52405.
The purpose of the present study was to examine the
differences and similarities in relationship-termination
adjustment between divorced and non-martial populations.
The two populations have assumed to be similar, but this
assumption has not been investigated formally. The present
sample consisted of 90 volunteers from either a divorce
support group or the student population at a midwestern
Univ. who completed a modified version of the Fisher
Divorce Adjustment Scale (FDAS). A MANOVA found a
significant difference in the FDAS scores based upon the
type of relationship (divorced or ended long-term romantic). Follow-up ANOVAs indicated that the primary difference between the two groups was that the divorced
31
�group was more disentangled from the former relationship
than the non-marital group. No significant sex differences
and no significant type of relationship X sex interactions
were found, which contradicts previous research. Although
originally designed for divorced populations, the FDAS
appears applicable to separated, non-marital populations.

THE INFLUENCE OF RESEARCHER PARADIGM ON
STUDY FINDINGS, FROM 1952 TO 1992, ON THE
TOPIC OF DIVORCE.
Olav Sorenson, Dept. of Soc., Stanford U, Stanford,
CA, 94305; John D. Sorenson, Dept. of Soc., Augustana
Col., Sioux Falls, SD, 57197.
The authors performed a meta-analysis of articles on
the topic of divorce indexed in the Inventory of Marriage
and Family Literature from 1952 to 1992 (N = 150). Each
article was classified according to the methodology employed and the basis given for assumptions made by the
researcher. The effects of these methods and assumptions
on the conclusions of these articles was of particular concern. In those articles containing sufficient information, the
authors also assessed the impact of measurement choices
on the research outcomes. In particular, the authors tried to
determine whether changes in the theory of divorce are due
to empirical changes in the effects of divorce, improved research methodology in the field, or a paradigm shift among
divorce researchers. Suggestions are given for how toreduce paradigm bias in future maniage and family research.

Elizabeth V. Henera, St. Luke's Med. Ctr., Carol A.
Patsdaughter, Univ. of Wis. Milwaukee, Milwaukee, WI
53201.
Data were collected on problems and concerns, coping strategies, personal strengths, and health responses of
women who were in the process of divorce after 20 or
more years of marriage (N = 101). Using hierarchical regression and controlling for age and education, problems/
concerns and coping strategies were predictors of physical
symptoms (F(6,94) = 19.58, p < .001); problems/concerns
and personal strengths were predictors of emotional symptoms (F(6,94) = 10.31, p < .001); and problems/concerns,
personal strengths, and woman as divorce initiator were
predictors of well-being responses (F(6,94) = 17 .92, p <
.001). Findings suggest differential interventions to prevent
physical and emotional health problems and to promote
well-being in the steadily increasing number of midlife and
later life women who are experiencing divorce as a major

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect
of gender and academic year in school on perceptions of
family life quality in step and birth parents families. The
35-item Perceptual Indicators of Family Life Quality Scale
(Rettig, Danes & Bauer, 1991) was completed by 387 students. ANOVAs revealed no significant main effects or interaction effects for type of family, gender, or academic
year in school. These results suggest that as step-parent
families have become more prevalent in society, negative
perceptions in terms of step-parent minority status also
change. Also college females and males are actually more
similar to one another than different and people reconstruct
life events consistent with their belief about themselves and
their families.

Iowa State Univ., Ames, lA 50010.
Recent studies have failed to find a relationship between interaction with nonresidential fathers and child
adjustment. Using a sample of 209 single-mother households, the present study found an association when frequency of contact, gender of child, and behavior of the
father were taken into account. When contact was at least
once a week, father antisocial behavior was positively related to conduct problems for sons but showed an inverse
association for daughters. Father involvement in parenting
behaviors was inversely and warmth positively associated
with both conduct problems and psychological distress for
boys, whereas for girls warmth showed a negative relationship with psychological distress and involvement in parenting was unrelated to adjustment. When contact was less
than once a week, father warmth was inversely related to
psychological distress for sons while none of the father
variables was related to the adjustment of daughters.
Possible reasons for the various findings are discussed.
THE FAMILY AND QUALITY OF LIFE AMONG PEOPLE
WITH INSULIN DEPENDENT DIABETES.
Shireen S. Rajaram, Univ. of Kentucky.
Despite the central role that families play in the management of chronic illness of one of its members, there has
been a dearth of studies that investigate the importance of
the family in maintaining the quality of life of people with
a chronic illness such as Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM). This study assesses the interrelationship between family dynamics and the quality of life among 23
people with IDDM, and their spouses. A combination of
quantitative and qualitative methodology is used. Our findings indicate that family dynamics significantly affect the
quality of life of people with IDDM. This underscores the
moral issue of emphasizing the role of the family in contributing to the quality of life of people with a chronic
illness.

16802.
This paper examines parent-related correlates of adolescent self-esteem in two family types, using data from the
sixth wave of the Study of Adolescent Life Transitions. A
month before high Sch. graduation, 908 students in twoparent families and 137 students in mother-headed families
answered questions regarding their feelings about themselves and their perceptions of important relationships,
among other topics. Analyses revealed different patterns of
correlates of self-esteem in the two groups of youngsters.
Possible reasons for differences are discussed.

Studies in human females suggest fluctuations in
moods that correspond to different phases of the menstrual
cycle. Such behavioral patterns are described as Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). Our objective was to determine if
such fluctuations occmTed in rhesus monkeys (Macaca
mulatta), which have a menstrual cycle similar to humans,
thereby establishing a nonhuman primate model. This was
accomplished by measuring daily urinary steroid values
and monitoring behavioral responses during five phases of

�the menstrual cycle. Daily morning urine samples were
collected from rhesus (n = I 0) females for one complete
menstrual cycle. Hemastix (Miles, Inc., Elkhart, Inc.)
readings were used as a diagnostic aid in detecting menstruation. Urinary Estradiol (E2) levels were determined by
radioimmunoassay (Coat-A-Count, Diagnostic Products,
Los Angeles, CA) while Preg-nanediol-3-Glucuronide
(PdG) levels were determined by enzymeimmunoassay.
Urinary steroid values were cor-rected for concentration
variations by a standardized refractometer index. The steroid profiles were then used to determine ovulation and the
stages of the cycle. The menstrual cycle stages were characterized as follows: I (the first two days of menses); II (the
first three days after menses); III (three days prior to ovulation); N (five days after the highest peak in PdG); and V
(two days prior to menses). The average E2 and PdG levels
(corrected by a standardized refractometer index) for each
Stage of the menstrual cycle, respectively, are: I ( I307,
1.3); II (150I, 1.0); III (4399, 1.6); IV (1097, 6.6); V
(1329, 3.2). The three behavior tests, monitored daily by an
observer un-aware of the menstrual cycle stage, were: I)
frequency of different behaviors (see below) within a 5
minute interval; 2) length of eye-stare in seconds (repeated
three times at I minute intervals); and 3) the relative aggressive behavior associated with retrieval of a treat (repeated five times at I5 second intervals; I =Passive, 5 =
Aggressive). Each behavior test was performed at random
among the colony females. The results of test #I indicate
higher frequency (P < .05) in the open mouth threat (1.1 ),
tactile/oral explore (9.6), and cage shake (.62) in Stage IV
as compared to the other Stages. Behavior test #2 results
indicate no significant difference in behaviors across the
five stages of the cycle. The level of relative aggression
(test #3) was lower (1.87) in Stage IV when compared to
the other cycle Stage scores (I = 2.2; II = 2.I; III = 2.0).
Taken together, these data indicate a close association of
the symptons of PMS with the luteal phase (Stage IV) of
the menstrual cycle.

Familial or societal attitudes toward the disabled may
invoke unconscious bias in children, which can be a source
of emotional difficulty for disabled children. To measure
non-disabled children's attitudes, data was gathered from
(N = I60) nondisabled preschool children. A quantitative
sociometric questionnaire was administered by utilizing a
2x2x2x2 four factor design, analyzing age, group, pre and
post and judgement factors. A significant difference was
found in the areas of: the earliest age the non-disabled can
recognize a disabled child; non-disabled children choosing
non-disabled children to share with; and bias beginning to
be demonstrated. Implications for family educators, teachers, family and therapy practitioners and policy planning

Univ. Hasp., Cincinnati, OH (N = 35). The data are viewed
from a contextual model of stress (Takigiku, Brubaker, &
Hennon, 1993). None of the sample characteristics were
significantly related to the parents' level of depression,
except for a son's diagnosis (HIV-asymptomatic, HIVsymptomatic, or AIDS). Using analysis of covariance, a
highly significant relationship was found between depression and the combined factors of a son's diagnosis (HIVasymptomatic, HIV-symptomatic, or AIDS) and a parent's
anxiety to care for his/her son, explaining 47% of the variance in the dependent variable (depression). Results found
no significant relationship between depression and (a) a

To investigate the disclosure process for PLWA, they were
asked to answer questions about each of 9 targeted family
members including: Significant other, mother, father, stepmother, step-father, maternal grandmother, maternal grandfather, paternal grandmother, paternal grandfather, and up
to three siblings. Results indicate the nuclear family (mother, father, siblings) and significant other are disclosed to
about an HIV-positive diagnosis more often and more
promptly than others. In addition, the PLWA appears to be
the person disclosing to others most often, with mothers
being the next likely discloser to family members. Implications for family relationships and future research are

Although the stress of caring for disabled family
members has received increased research attention, the
family dynamics behind such situations are less widely
known. In particular, issues of personal responsibility, hostility, and filial obligation may all be linked to outcomes for
both the disabled and his/her caregiver(s). In this study, a
grounded theory approach (Strauss & Corbin, 1990) is utilized to reveal conceptual relationships in data offered by
family caregivers. Qualitative data suggest two primary
concepts, filial obligation and frustration, indicating family
dynamics may play a larger role in the provision of care
than has been acknowledged to date. Implications for

The new concept of resource ambiguity was defined
and examined to determine its value as a predictor of family vulnerability to stress. The literature to date describes
Hill's B factor as a static (nonprocess) variable. This paper
contends this factor is interactive and that systemic stability
is undermined by resource uncertainty. A hermeneutic
interpretive methodology was used in the identification of
examples of resource ambiguity (N = 20). Implications of
the need for innovative therapeutic supports are presented.

The Cooperative Extension Service and the military
have a long history of congenial relationships and cooperation. Because of its fairly unique mandate, resources,
and structure, Cooperative Extension is able to provide
quality family education materials and services to the base
staff working with military families. Since Cooperative Extension programs are located in virtually every county in
the United States, Cooperative Extension staff can also
help military families access local family-oriented services
and help these local agencies better serve their military
constituents.
As a result of a 1986 Memo of Understanding between USDA-ES and the U.S. Dept. of Defense (DOD),
the DOD and Dept. of Army have contracted with state
Cooperative Extension Specialists to develop, for national/
international distribution, family education materials specifically to meet the needs of military families related to

WOMEN'S PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS AND THEIR
POWER IN PERSONAL DECISION-MAKING IN
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: THE CASE OF TAIWAN.
Hsiang-Ming Justine Kung, and Mchael P. Farrell,
Dept. of Soc., SUNY, Buffalo, NY 14260.
Resource theory suggests that women's levels of
distress is affected by the power they have in decisionmaking. The 1990 national survey data of Taiwan (N =
2,531) shows that people are more distressed when they are
less powerful than their spouses in decision-making. As
equity theory predicts, we found both overbenefitted and
underbenefitted spouse in an unequal relationship are more
distressed. The data also supports Rodman's argument that
in developing countries highly educated people, in our case
women especially, are more egalitarian than lower
educated people.

Every student planning to be a family professional
1993 NCFR Conference
�needs the opportunity to explore personal values, to develop a framework for making ethical decisions, & to consider
their evolving professional identity. This roundtable explores models for teaching ethics & professional practice
courses, discusses strategies for sensitizing students to ethical issues, and considers ethical dilemmas that may arise
in the process of teaching such a course. This roundtable
will focus on the theoretical foundations of ethics and professional practice courses, as well as provide pragmatic
information on structure and process.

THE ROLE OF RELIGION(S) IN MORAL DISCOURSE
ON FAMILIES.
Jo Lynn Cunningham, Dept. of Child & Fam. Studies,
The Univ. of Tenn., Knoxville, TN 37996.
What is the role of religion in a moral discourse on
families? There is much agreement that such a role exists
but considerable disagreement about the nature of that role.
Clarification of distinctions among the terms religion, spirituality, morality, ethics, and values is suggested as an
important step toward untangling the issues. With these
distinctions in mind, application of the issue to the realm of
family can be considered. The meaning of moral discourse
on families inevitably involves religion. And just as we
have moved from talking about families rather than the
family, we may need to talk about religions rather than
religion. Yet our discussions need common points of
reference as well, so it may be necessary to identify points
of unity as well as points of diversity. Important considerations include the identification of (a) essential conceptual distinctions; (b) influence of religious perspectives on
perceptions of families and of morality; (c) strategies for
transcending differences to engage in moral discourse on
families; and (d) implications of this discourse for institutional religion, family life education, and theory
development in family science.

THE IMPACT OF TELEVISION VIEWING ON THE
MENTAL HEALTH OF THE ELDERLY.
Cynthia R. Drenovsky, Dept. Soc/Anth., Philip A.
Broyles, Dept. Soc./Anth., Shippensburg Univ.,
Shippensburg, PA 17257.
This study investigates the effect of television
viewing on the self-esteem and morale of the elderly. The
amount of time spent watching television is compared to
physical, sedentary and social recreational activities among
1045 elderly residents of the state of Washington. As expected, T.V. viewing has negative effects on the self-esteem
and morale of the elderly. Controlling for subjective health
and other demographic variables, results show that physical, social and other sedentary activities are more benefic-
Proceedings
iaf than TV to the elderly's mental health. Implications of
these findings for the quality of family life and gerontology
practitioners are discussed.

FAMILY LIFE EDUCATORS IN ELDERCARE: A
PRELIMINARY REPORT.
Maxine Hammonds-Smith, CFLE, Texas Southern
Univ., 3100 Cleburne Avenue, Houston, TX 77004.
Through in-service faculty development in eldercare,
family studies' faculty members from three state universities and a medical school in Texas developed a project to
assist in improving the care of older, frail, and poor women
of color in Texas. The project involved (1) faculty members reviewing and integrating aging content in existing
courses taken by approximately 5000 baccalaureate home
economics/family studies' students; (2) modifying field
placement sites for students to have hands-on experience
with clients targeted by the National Eldercare Campaign;
and (3) designing a replicable model of curriculum modification and development of field placement sites that
incorporated eldercare concepts.
Outcome of the project resulted a documented
process of modifying curricula and adapting field
placement sites to eldercare. Also, the project resulted in
the development of course materials, evaluative data,
targeted at more family studies' faculty and baccalaureate
home economics/family studies graduates we will be better
prepared to be advocates for older people who are most
likely to lose their independence.

THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE ETHICS OF THERAPY
AND OUTCOME RESEARCH IN FAMILY THERAPY.
Anthony P. Jurich and Candyce S. Russell, Dept. of
Human Development and Family Studies, Justin Hall,
Kansas State Univ., Manhattan, KS 66506.
One of the crying needs of the field of marriage and
family therapy is for outcome research to determine the effectiveness of marriage and family therapy. However, there
are several points in the outcome research process where
the proper ethical conduct of marriage and family therapy
comes into conflict with good research methodology.
In order to accommodate to the demands of both
therapy and research some limitations must be realized:
1. "No Treatment" control groups cannot be used.
2. A "Treatment A" vs. "Treatment B" vs. "Treatment
B on Demand" model is best used in most clinical outcome
research.
· 3. Because the primary contact of the client is for
therapy, not research, researchers must be selective about
the information they collect and realize that some questions
must go unanswered.
37
�4. Pre-testing should be minimally time-consuming
and easily administered.
5. Researchers should expect a higher dropout rate
and should gather anecdotal evidence from therapists to
help "flesh out" the research data about the families in
therapy.
Although this may be frustrating to the research
purist, the researcher will stay within the ethical boundaries
of good therapy and still uncover, layer-by-layer, useful
information about the nature of therapy.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT FERTILITY DECISIONS IN
CANADA AND FRANCE.
Nancy Kingsbury, Dept. of Family Sciences, TX
Woman's Univ., Denton, TX 76204; Cam-Loi Huynh,
Dept. of Psych., Univ. of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba
R3T2N2.
The purpose of the project was to conduct a crosscultural study of factors that influence fertility decisions in
France and Canada. Data were collected in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, Canada and Marseilles, France. For the Winnipeg data, random sampling from tax assessment lists and
in-home interviews were used. In France, random sampling
using the telephone directory and mail survey questionnaires were used. The Winnipeg sample consisted of 528
men (n = 245) and women (n = 283). In Marseilles, 181
subjects responded, 91 men and 90 women. Factors measured were: (a) effects on career, (b) financial costs, (c)
time/energy/stress, (d) childcare, (e) relationship with
partner, (f) personal reward, and (g) partner's desire.
Differences and similarities between results for the two
cities were discussed, and implications for family policies
in the two countries were presented.

CONTRASTING MORAL CONCEPTIONS: GENDER
AND MORAL GUIDANCE IN THE CONTEMPORARY
AMERICAN FAMILY.
Charles Lockhart, Dept. of Pol. Sci., Texas Christian
Univ., Fort Worth, TX 76129.
Recent research reveals the use of two gender-based
conceptions of morality in contemporary America. Kohlberg finds that males develop morally by adopting impersonal, general rights and principles. In contrast, Gilligan
finds that females develop by acquiring a conception of
morality centered on caring and compassion. The central
purpose of this paper is to discuss the social implications of
the presence of two distinctive, even contradictory,
conceptions of morality within families.

THE FEMINIST COURSE AS A 'CONVERSION
EXPERIENCE': IMPACT ON STUDENTS AND
INSTRUCTORS' MORAL RESPONSIBILITIES.
Anne R. Mahoney, Depts. of Soc. & Women's
Studies, Univ. of Denver, Denver, CO 80208.
The feminist view of the world throws into question
the validity of much that we have learned and students often come to this awareness abruptly. What moral obligations do feminist teachers have to understand the impact of
an acceptance of a feminist view on students' lives and
their relationships with family members? The paper discusses some of the moral issues raised by the question,
"What does it mean to teach from a feminist perspective?"
It is organized into three sections. The first summarizes the
new ways of looking at the world that feminist-based courses offer students. The second explores research about the
potential impact of feminist courses on students and what
kinds of tools instructors can give students to help them
make the transition from one world view to another. The
third discusses issues feminist teachers may wish to consider as they contemplate the moral import of what and how
they teach.

SUPERVISION WITHOUT THE PROBLEM: A MODEL
OF SOLUTION-FOCUSED SUPERVISION.
Lydia I. Marek & Dan M. Sandifer, Dept. of FCD
Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24060.
Many practitioners in family therapy are currently
learning the assumptions and techniques of brief solution
focused therapy. This presentation describes a congruent
model of solution focused supervision. Building on the assumptions of confidence in a therapists' resources and
strengths, the social construction of meanings, and the salience of small changes this model guides supervisors in using the techniques of goal setting, looking for exceptions,
and asking scaling questions in supervision. Use of the solution focused supervision model with a supervisee utilizing this approach in their own therapy provides additional
learning.

FAMILY FACTORS RELATED TO SUCCESSFUL
OUTCOMES AMONG PERRY PRESCHOOL STUDENTS:
25 YEARS LATER.
Harriette McAdoo, Tom Luster and Bridget R.
Woods, Family and Child Ecology, Michigan State Univ.,
East Lansing, MI 48824.
This study examines the influence that family and experiences in early childhood, and that adolescence and
young adulthood had on the life experiences of African
1993 NCFR Conference
�American children who participated in the Perry Preschool
Project, and who now lead adult lives.
All of the children in this study were reared in poverty for at least part of their lives, yet the adulthood outcomes of the children are quite diverse. The central questions addressed in this study are: In what ways did the developmental pathways of successful African American
young adults differ from those who have been less
successful thus far?
Longitudinal studies of African American children
are rare. The Peny Preschool study is the only known analysis that follows African American children from
preschool. to young adulthood; thus, the Perry Preschool
data provide us with a unique opportunity to examine how
characteristics of the children and their families influenced
the way in which the study participants negotiated agerelated tasks from early childhood to young adulthood.
Families influenced the educational accomplishments of
their children; children who completed high school tended
to have had more supportive and involved parents from
early childhood through adolescence.
ALZHEIMER'S CAREGIVERS: ARE SUPPORT GROUPS
SUCCESSFUL?
Christine A. Price and Patricia Bell-Scott, Dept. of
Child & Family Dev., Univ. of GA, Athens, GA 30605.
The purpose of this study was to better understand
the effectiveness of Alzheimer's support groups. Theresearcher evaluated Alzheimer's caregiver reports of burden
and social support in relation to support group participation. Data were collected in a questionnaire format from
two volunteer samples of Alzheimer's caregivers. One
sample consisting of caregivers who attend support groups
and one sample of those that do not. The objectives of the
study were to 1) determine whether Alzheimer's caregivers
that attend Alzheimer's support groups report lower levels
of caregiver burden and higher levels of social support and
2) to compare these results with the levels of burden and
social support reported by caregivers that do not attend
Alzheimer's support groups. Implications for family
practitioners, family educators and policy are presented.

Raymond Montemayor, Psych., Patrick C. McKenry,
CFLE, Fam. Rel., Ohio State Univ., Columbus, OH 43210.
This roundtable will focus on anti-male bias in
traditional and feminist study of male family roles. An
argument will be made for the necessity of studying
families from the perspective of both men and women in
order to capture gendered ways of knowing and relating.
Research domains to be examined include caregiving,
intimacy, and power. A new men's scholarship that
acknowledges the uniqueness and strengths of the male
gender role will be proposed.
THE ETHICS OF BALANCE: TEACHER OR STUDENTCENTERED APPROACHES TO LEARNING IN FAMILY

Bowman, Community Care Resources, Wilder Foundation,
St. Paul, MN 55104-2198.
There is a tension between the obligations of the family life educator, as a well-prepared professional with much
knowledge to share, and the needs of the program participants, who bring specific experiences and personal needs
to the classroom. There are few guidelines for choices
which must be made about the relationship between the
leaders' selection of program content and the consumer's
need for networking, support and individual problem solving. This interactive session will explore issues for decision
making in cuniculum and instructional development in
family life education. An ethics of balance will emerge.

THE EFFECTS OF PARENTING ON MORAL
REASONING AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF
RELIGIOUS FAITH.
Rob Palkovitz, Dept. of Individual & Family Studies,
Univ. of DE, Newark, DE 19716.
Theorists have identified early adulthood as a time of
religious consolidation (Allport, 1950) and moral maturity
(Kohlberg, 1977). Others have suggested that parental involvement in child rearing is particularly potent as a context for shaping adults' maturation. As yet, no serious
attempts have been made to examine the inter-relationships
between parenting, moral reasoning and the development
of religious faith. Integrative literature review and
qualitative and quantitative research data are presented.

PROGRAM ASSESSMENT IN FAMILY SCIENCE.
Karen H. Schmid, Col. of Social Sciences, St. Cloud
State Univ., St. Cloud, MN 56301.
Curriculum or program assessment is the systematic
and periodic collection and analysis of information on program resources, processes, and student outcomes for purposes of accountability and/or program improvement.
Assessment involves the application of the principles of
academic inquiry to our own teaching. What is unique or
unusual about family science teaching, research, and pro-
39
�grams in higher education that may affect assessment of
our programs? What are appropriate and inappropriate
ways to assess family science programs? Why? How can
family scientists and administrators more effectively communicate on assessment? Specific areas to be discussed
are: the relationship of program goals to assessment, multiple measures, and assessment of student attitudes or
affective learning.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARENT COMPARISON
LEVEL INDEX, PCLI: A NEW MEASURE OF PARENT
SATISFACTION.
Rebecca J. Waldron and Ronald M. Sabatelli, Sch. of
Family Studies, U. of CT, Storrs, CT 06269-2058.
The objective of this study was the development and
initial validation of a measure designed to assess parent
satisfaction, the PCLI. The scale is based upon the interpersonal processes highlighted within the Social Exchange
Framework with a particular focus on the role that expectations and comparative processes play in the evaluation of
relationships (Sabatelli, 1984, 1988). Data were collected
on 438 parents, 168 fathers and 270 mothers. The response
data on the PCLI items were examined with factor analyses
and a procedure recommended by Ryder (1967) to examine
the comparability of samples when using factor analyses.
The results of these procedures confirmed the existence of
two hypothesized constructs: Reward and Cost believed to
underlie the PCLI. The internal consistency for the final
Reward subscale was .95 (20 items) and .92 for the Cost
subscale (20 items) and the correlation between the two
scales was r = .30. Evidence for construct validity was
found through correlations between the PCLI subscales and
measures of marital quality and variations in the family life
cycle.

EVALUATING GENDER AND FAMILY COURSES USING
FEMINIST AND QUALITATIVE METHODOLOGIES.
Elizabeth B. Farnsworth, Katherine R. Allen, CFLE,
Dept. of Family & Child Development, Virginia Tech,
Blacksburg, VA 24061.
A gender and family undergraduate course at a large
Univ. was evaluated in this study using feminist and
qualitative methods. This approach offers an innovative
method of course evaluation that allows instructors to deal
with the diversity of contemporary classrooms in positive,
constructive ways. Two in-depth interviews were conducted with a sample of students at the beginning and the end
of the term.
This approach provided information about students'
developing consciousness and understanding of gender and
family over the course of the semester. It also provided an
40
opportunity for instructor and students to practice
reflexivity in a collaborative way in the process of learning.

SENDING TECHNOLOGY-DEPENDENT CHILDREN
HOME: SOURCES OF STRESS FOR LOW INCOME
FAMILIES.
Marsha H. Cohen, Col. of Nurs., Wayne State Univ.,
Detroit, MI 48202.
Technology-dependent children (TDC) represent a
relatively new population with such unique needs that the
social world in which they live has difficulty keeping pace
with the resource demands that they and their families
make upon it. When the children come from low income
families, issues surrounding their discharge can cause
heightened moral distress for professional staff and unique
problems for the families. This grounded theory study analyzed the process of transitioning technology-dependent
children from the hospital to their home and community. Its
purpose was to explore the social consequences of bringing
high technology into an otherwise low technology environment and to generate a body of knowledge that would provide direction for the development of theoreticlly sound
policies, programs, and practice models. Respondents were
low income, families of 5 TDC, the child's primary nurse
and physician, and selected key informants in the community. Data were collected for 1 year following each discharge. Selected phenomena related to the sources and
management of family and professional stress will be
presented.

have been relatively few recent studies which focus on specific variables surrounding sexual risk-taking by college
students.
The purpose of this symposium is to present findings
from three empirical investigations conducted at Midwestern universities which identify factors associated with risktaking sexual practices among college students. The issues
surrounding high-risk sexual practices include perceived
likelihood of contraction of STDs, alcohol consumption,
costs/benefits of condom usage, and the relationship between personal goal-setting and risk-reduction sexual

Discussant: Ruth Hatch, Baptist Seminary, Kansas
City, KS 66109.
This symposium seeks to clarify underlying assumptions of the philosophy of family life education. Choosing
from among available models, it sets forth a redemptive
model.
First, it deals with philosophical presuppositions as to
metaphysics, epistemology and axiology from a Christian
viewpoint. Two presuppositions are set forth: the unity of
truth and all truth is God's truth.
Second, what is the nature of human beings? Four
basic positions are recognized: Mind-body dichotomy
(Plato), Natural Unfoldment (Rosseau), Determinism (including Behaviorism), and Redemptive Holism.
Third, how do these apply to field of family life education? How can human beings be restored from their fallenness to the Eden ideal? What does Christianity say about
people and what they can become? Does the "child of
God" concept empower individuals and families toward
positive personhood and relations in the here and now?
How does redemptive holism affect our counseling when
dealing with those suffering from shame, guilt and pain?
How does it affect preventative models in family life
education?

A parent education needs assessment was distributed
to randomly selected classrooms in nine school districts.
Topics of highest interest related to children's self esteem,
success in school, relationships, discipline, and communication. Top problems identified which interfered with
parenting were work/job/career and time and money
management. Successful parent education programming

Family life educators should learn from the experience of home economics. Home economics has a long
history in the public schools some aspects of this history
are more successful than others. This paper describes both
the successful and less successful aspects of the experience
of home economics in public schools and suggests ways
family life educators can use that experience to build a new
meaning for public education about homes and families.

Carol F. Rubino, CFLE, New York State Education

Board of Coop. Educational Serv., Dix Hills, NY 11746.
Family Life Education can be a highly charged
emotional topic dealing with personal political, religious,
cultural and moral/ethical issues. Parents may feel that their
role and the security of their family and its values/morals
42
are in danger if a school/community has a program. Articulation of state or national approaches are a necessary, but
not a sufficient step, toward assuring program implementation. The potential for comprehensive programming must
be derived from a local understanding and commitment to
mutually agreed upon goals and objectives. Broad-based
coalitions, including students, parents, community representatives and school staff, must be involved in program
planning, development, implementation and evaluation.
These home/school/community coalitions must involve
themselves to an·ive at a point where they recognize and
acknowledge the moraUethical issues that exist, which must
be dealt with, prior to effective implementation of
programs.

IMPLICATIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS.
Daniel J. \Veigel and Sally S. Martin, Cooperative
Extension, HDFS, Univ. of Nevada, Reno.
Scholars and family life educators continue to look
for clues to understanding the needs of parents. 2,091 novice and experienced mothers completed a questionnaire
measuring child development and parenting knowledge,
parenting stress, parental efficacy, sources of information,
and need for additional parenting information. Five stepwise discriminant analyses were conducted and identified
several key variables that successfully distinguished novice
from experienced mothers. Educational efforts need to be
directed at novice parents' misinformation about child
development, sources of parenting stress, and informational
needs identified in the study.

Death is a taboo in Family Science that influences
what we teach, study, and tell families is "normal." This
presentation explores the relationship between values
underlying major perspectives (especially systems theory),
values/cultural biases of scholars, and lack of accurate
information on family grief. Examines influences of
societal attitudes (denial; view of particular types of death),
and policies, professional training (values of mentors;
conflicting ethnic/cultural values), and individual factors
(family scripts; recent experiences). Opportunities to

THE AFTERMATH OF A DIFFICULT DECISION:
PARENTAL GRIEF AND COPING AFTER
INTERRUPTING A WANTED PREGNANCY.
Kathleen R. Gilbert, Dept. of Applied Health
Science, Indiana Univ., Bloomington, IN 47405.
Parents who interrupt a wanted pregnancy experience
a genuine loss. They also must cope with the added
stressors tied to their decision.
This paper reports on a qualitative study of grief and
coping of 23 couples and 13 women who elected to interrupt a wanted pregnancy, usually after diagnosis of lethal or
serious fetal abnormalities. Results: coping emphasized
regaining order and control, sought out information, reconstructed meaning "sealed over" painful information.
Strong sense of isolation felt, especially in terms of what
could be said and to whom. Actions of others ranged from
appropriate to inappropriate; if inappropriate, added to
grief. Difference seen between those who interrupted due
to lethal condition vs. those who made a quality-of-life
decision with grief of second group more complicated.
Implications: need support in their coping efforts,
recognition that loss is real, availability of long-term aftercare essential, targeted support groups very helpful.

A FAMILY SYSTEMS MODEL OF PERINATAL GRIEF.
Susan L. Ericksen, Dept. of Fam. & Hum. Dev., Utah
State Univ., Logan, UT 84322-2905.
The birth of a baby creates an imbalance in the family
system's equilibrium. The family usually begins creating a
new role for an expected child before the child's birth actually occurs. When a pregnancy fails, the family seeks to
validate the existence of their child, while society tends to
deny the child's existence. Current research focuses on the
intense grief families normally feel after a perinatal loss,
yet society provides few norms for coping with such a tragedy. This creates a discrepancy between the family's need
and society's recognition of the family's need to grieve.
While most research addresses maternal effects based on
case studies, a focus on establishing an empirical basis for
understanding the dynamics involved in grieving for a perinatal loss is developing. Common themes arising from past
research are used in creating a systems model of family
grief which can be useful in directing future research.
were used in their process of restoring typical patterns of
social interaction following the experience of a perinatal
loss. Parents related the importance of the development of
social relationships to deal with the loss, and specific techniques were identified which allowed parents to neutralize
the feelings elicited by the event of loss and to reengage in
social interaction.

This paper has four major concerns: the impact of
economic development on economic independence/
interdependence within the family/kinship system; the
effect of family economic independence/interdependence
on cultural conceptions of normal and desirable kin relations; the influence of family economic independence/
interdependence on family social structure; and the impact
of family social structure on family economic independence/interdependence. Data for this study were gathered
in Egypt through personal interviews with a sample of
3,574 respondents systematically selected from six different communities which varied in length of time industrialized. The issues addressed in this study are not unique to
Egypt. This work can help advance understanding of
change in industrializing societies.

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY LIFE AMONG THE
BATSWANA OF SOUTH AFRICA.
Ishmael Kalulu-Sabiti, CoraM. Njoli, Inst. of Dev.
Res., Univ. of Bophuthatswana, Private Bag X2046,
Mmabatno B681, South Africa.
This paper is based on the findings of the Research
Project just completed in December 1992 on Marriage, the
Family and Household in Bophuthatswana, one of the independent States of South Africa. The main objective of the
research was to generate information on marriage and family life among the Batswana of Bophuthatswana. The
research examined such issues as family size, composition,
demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the
household, life cycle events such as marriageable ages,
duration of marriage, average number of children ever born
alive, dissolution of marriage through divorce and death,
remarriage, etc. In view of the non-negligible role that
polygamy plays in Africa South of Sahara, the research was
also designed to study the prevalence of polygamy, the
extended vis-a-vis nuclear or conjugal family. Such data
are of great value to socioeconomic and physical development planners. It is also relevant to those charged with
policy making decisions relative to the family.
The results from the study show that marriage is
universal among the Batswana of Bophuthatswana in other
words the majority of them ultimately marry. The data also
suggest that changes have occurred or are underway in this
Southern African population with the main trend towards
later marriage. Males, for instance, marry particularly late,
median age at first marriage being 28, five years older than
females at 23. Males with urban childhood upbringing married 2.5 years older than their female counterparts with a
similar background. When age is controlled, males aged
50+ married 4.7 years later than females of the same age
group while those males aged 30-49 married 4 years older
than female counterparts. No substantial differences exist
among males of different educational attainment although
those with no education seem to have a slightly higher age
at first marriage than those with Primary and Secondary
education.
Changes are also occurring in the type of marriage
and family in this Setswana Society in the wake of modernizing forces and difficult economic times. The trend here is
towards monogamous type of union and nuclear family pattern rapidly replacing the traditional polygamous type of
marriage and extended type of family. The data also show
that marriages are generally stable with an overwhelming
majority of ever-married persons having manied only
once. About 77 percent of ever manied women in the survey were still married to their first husbands and over 95
percent of all current husbands live with their wives in the
same household. Sexual activity before maniage was found
to be widespread as viewed from the prevalence of premar-
44
ita) births. Fertility was found to be relatively low at an average of 3.4 per ever-married woman in the sample. Completed fertility was around 5 live births per ever-married
woman.

THE ROLE OF SIGNIFICANT ADAGES AND
APHORISMS IN THE TRANSMISSION OF VALUES
AMONG ECUADORIAN FAMILIES.

B. Youngberg, CFLE, Prof. Rei. Ed., Andrews Univ.,
Berrien Springs, MI 49104.
What is the role of significant adages and aphorisms
in the transmission of values from generation to generation? This qualitative ethnic study collected data from 3
three-generational Ecuadorian families. Taped structured
interviews sought to identify family adages and aphorisms
and to what degree they were associated with deeply ingrained trans generational values. In the data analysis values and adages were defined, identified, classified, assessed and associated. Concerns included: Are the families preserving their values and aphorisms? How are they adapting
them to their time? "Hunches" of the investigators were
that the family remains a potent agency in values transmission; that adages and aphorisms are an important
means; that children cannot remember an epoch when they
did not believe these values; and that the transmission generally comes from the mother although she may have little
formal education. Findings will be reported. The use of this
type of ethnographic research in other cultures to find roots
and heritage will be discussed.

EFFECTS OF NORMATIVE AND NON-NORMATIVE
STRESS ON FAMILY AND ADOLESCENT
DEVELOPMENT.
Brian K. Barber, Ctr. for Studies of the Family,
Brigham Young Univ., Provo, UT 84602.
Substantial literature documents a positive relationship between negative life events (normative stress) and
adolescent difficulty. Most literature does not specify the
mechanisms underlying the effect. This paper hypothesized
that the effects of stress would be mediated by parent-child
interaction. Puberty has also been shown to predict disturbance in parent-adolescent relations. This study hypothesized that the effects of puberty (normative stress) would
also be mediated by patterns of parental control. Both
forms of stress were tested simultaneously with measures
of parental psychological and behavioral control and adolescent internalized and externalized problems on a sample
of 250 mother-adolescent pairs from a suburban southern
community. Findings supported the hypothesis of the mediating effect of family control on the association between

delinquency.

ADOLESCENT-PARENT ATTACHMENTS AND FAMILY
PROBLEM-SOLVING.
Cathron L. Cobb, Hosp. for Sick Children, & C. M.
Hincks Treatment Ctr., 440 Jarvis St. Toronto, Ont. M4Y
2H4, Canada.
An association is demonstrated between the Bowlby/
Ainsworth construct of attachment and family problemsolving styles. 62 family triads with 11-15 yr. olds participated in a lab. protocol including the Reiss Card Sort Procedure (CSP; Reiss, 1981). Attachment to each parent was
assessed in two different situations: informal reunions and
structured dyadic sequences. Separate analyses for each
situation were conducted using the same behavioral classification scheme. The CSP measures the family's use of
complex solutions, willingness to work collaboratively, and
persistence in search of new methods. These aspects can
combine to produce distinctive family problem-solving
styles (paradigms). Jointly congruent attachments were
compared to the problem-solving scores of the triad on the
CSP. Results, stronger for sequence-based classifications,
conftrm that attachment classified in both situa-tions is
related to dimensions of problem-solving and over-all
paradigm of the triad when working together. Reasons for
accepting greater construct validity of sequence-based
findings are discussed.

Univ. of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716.
Longitudinal data from a randomly selected sample
of 252 white young adults, aged 17-25, are used to account
for variability in young adults' relations with parents following recent parental divorce. Such divorce-related factors as the post-divorce relationship between the parents,
warning about divorce, parental remarriage, child's involvement in the divorce process, and assistance to parents
are considered. Results show key differences based on both
gender of parent and child. Implications for intervention
are considered.

This study examines the impact of growing up in a
military or nonmilitary environment on the personal wellbeing and family relationships of black and white adolescents. Data were collected from probability samples of
seventh through twelfth grade students from Sch.s in five
communities across the United States. Discriminant analysis was used to identify the factors that distinguished differences between black and white males and females from
military and nonmilitary families. The results indicate that
psycho-social development of black youth growing up in a
military family is affected both negatively and positively.
There is uncertainty too as to the potential impact of one
unexpected finding. These findings are discussed in terms
of typical conditions that characterize military families and
environments

Residency, 330 N. 8th Ave. E., Duluth, MN 55805.
This special session is an effort to address the major
issues impacting the well-being of families in this country
and beyond. The outcome will be to encourage attendees to
take leadership roles around family health issues in their
own communities.
Stephen Lewis will talk about "Politics and Financing of Access to Health Care Around the World." He has
had a lot of experience in this area. His talk will draw from
his work at the United Nations, UNICEF, as a Special Advisor on Africa to the Undersecretary General of the UN
for Economic and Social Development, and other committees on which he has served.
Julia Walsh, M.D., discusses, "Family Health
Programs that Work Around the World." She is a physician
with specialized training in epidemiology and public
health, in addition to internal medicine and infectious
diseases. Her major areas of research include establishing
priorities and using data to inform decision-making; cost-
45
�effectiveness analysis, epidemiology, particularly of
infectious diseases, and maternal and perinatal health.
Cynthia Myntti's talk is "Family Strengths and
Burdens in Global Health Experience." Drawing on
anthropological fieldwork in the Arab World, the author
suggests that we need to examine critically our assumptions
about the family when analyzing the determinants of child
health. Multiproblem families produce unwell children,
worldwide. She reviews international literature on child
abuse, depression among women and state welfare systems,
and then proposes interventions for the families who are
most vulnerable. Dr. Myntti is an anthropologist, currently
serving as a Senior Fellow at the Humphrey Inst. for Public
Affairs, Univ.of MN. Her primary research area is families
and health. She formerly was Program Officer for the Ford
Foundation on Pacific Rim maternal-child issues based in
Jakarta, Indonesia. She initiated a medical school for

THE NATIONAL SURVEY OF FAMILIES AND HOUSEHOLDS: USING THE 1992/93 FOLLOW-UP DATA.
Vaughn R. A. Call, Center for Demography and
Ecology, U. of Wisconsin, Madison, Wl53706.
The National Survey of Families and Households
(NSFH 1) is one of the most important current data sources
for family researchers. The 1992 follow-up provides important longitudinal data on a nationally representative
sample of 13,017 respondents and their families.
In this workshop/seminar, I will review the design
and content ofNSFH1 for researchers who are not familiar
with the original data file. I will describe the research design of the NSFH2 and contents of the survey instruments.
I will teach researchers how to use the codebooks for
NSFH2 and demonstrate how to link NSFH1 and NSFH2
data.
I will present initial estimates of response rates for all
survey instruments and frequencies of selected variables
from the NSFH2. This seminar will provide participants all
the information they need to begin using NSFH2 data as
soon as it is released. We anticipate release of the NSFH2
within 30 to 90 days after the conference.

PRO-FAMILY POLICIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION
INSTITUTIONS.
J. Elizabeth Norrell, Child & Fam. Dev., No. IL
Univ., DeKalb, IL 60115; Thomas H. Norrell, Univ. of
South Carolina; & D. Terri Heath, Consultant, Eugene, OR.
Although institutions of higher education in the
United States have been a springboard for feminism in
general and often the hotbed of female justice issues, they
46
have not, by and large, positively modeled gender equality
and affirmation in many of their policies. As it has been in
the past with many issues in higher education, collegesand
universities prescribed "appropriate" policies for communities and corporations while ignoring their own prescriptions. Universities, by failing to incorporate their own
recommendations, are at risk of losing their integrity.
It is the purpose of this roundtable, then, to review
the family-oriented practices and policies of American
Higher Education. Specifically, this will include the hiring,
tenure, and promotion policies, and their implications for
marital status, child care, elder care, dual-academic career
couples, shared faculty appointments, and parental leave.
Finally, we have compared practices of several representative institutions, taking their missional objectives into
account.

Using examples from their own research, presenters
will address: (1) Science for whom? What is the role of
science in defining the problem, the methods used, and
standards of evaluation used to judge its worth? (2) Information or resources for whom? Are there "sides" to the
story and whose side are we on? (3) What is our role as
family researchers? What responsibility do we have to
study participants? How should we be involved in determining how the information will be used by policy-makers,
practitioners, and families?

MOTHERS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN IN FRANCE AND
GERMANY: VALUE SYSTEMS AND THEIR IMPACT ON
MOTHERS' PARTICIPATION TO THE WORKFORCE.
Jeanne Fagnani, Researcher at the CNRS, Scientific
Adviser at the Caisse, Nationale des Allocations
Familiales, Paris.
French mothers with young children are more often
economically active than their German counterparts. Moreover, reliance upon part-time job is much more frequent
among them than among French mothers. A complex bundle of factors explain these differences. But we hypothesized that value systems and cultural differences play an
important role.
Using the results of some surveys conducted in both
countries and statistical data, we show the strong influence
of "traditional" norms in West Germany, where, contrary to
France, considerable social pressure is still experienced by
mothers to devote themselves to the education of their
young children. Numerous child educators, psychologists
and pediatricians uphold that a young child needs his mother with him at all times. On the contrary, in France, the
early socialisation of young children is not only admitted,
but socially valued. We try to explain these differences
between the two countries,
Family policies in both countries are themselves the
expression of the dominant value systems. While, in West
Germany, family policy confirms and reinforces the antagonism between maternity and employment, so, in France,
family policy integrates the model of "the working
mother."
SESSION 306-2
WHAT DOES A LITHUANIAN FAMILY EXPECT FROM
THE STATE?
Alina Zvinkliene, Lithuanian Acad. of Sci.
The Lithuanian family of last ten years is, as a rule, a
family with both working parents. The education of the
47
�children is realized with a broad participation of State institutions of upbringing and education. Interrelations in the
family are, as a matter of principle, based on equality, the
distribution of man and woman parts remaining traditional.
A high level of conflict interrelations between husband and
wife as well as between parents and children is being
noted. Financial position of families, especially of young
families, depended, as a rule, at all times directly on the
financial help given by the "senior" family and on the
assistance rendered by the State.
Problems of family in Lithuania are generally typical
for the contemporary occidental family: there is a high
level of marriages, a high level of divorces, and at the same
time, there is shortening of marriage duration, reduction in
the number of family members, increase in quantity of incomplete families, fall in birth-rate. A characteristic feature
of Lithuania is a low level of illegal birth-rate, a sharp tendency to teenager marriages and birth-rate among them.
These problems have been connected with unsatisfactory
family policy including the bad preparation of young
people for marriage.
At present, the problem of survival arises in addition
to those old problems. If in 1989 there were 15% families
who had an income being lower than official living standard, in November 1992 there were already 76% such
ones.
One of characteristic features in the State policy in
respect of family is reduction of assistance: State subsidies
for children's nourishment and garments have been abolished, investitions for maintenance of pre-school and outof-school institutions are being reduced or abolished, etc.,
all this being caused by a difficult economic situation.
The incapacity of the State policy is being compensated by foundation of various non-governmental associations destined for help to family, and by means of foreign
charitable activities.
We can suppose that the Lithuanian family, in whose
development two contrary tendencies are manifested:
liberalization of family relations and conservatism, is
expected to be confronted in future with policy of State's
keeping aloof from family problems.
SESSION 306-3
RUNAWAY ADOLESCENTS AND THEIR PRIMARY
SURROUNDINGS.
Esin Kuntay, Head of Dept. of Soc., Mimar Sinan
Univ., Istanbul, Turkey.
During two surveys done at different periods data
were collected from interviews conducted with children
who were taken in by the police in Istanbul. The aim of
both surveys was to reveal the various types of behavior
deviancies existing among these children, and their personal and family traits. The first survey was done in 1976. 240
children under 18 with tendency to delinquency were selec-
48
ted at random among children who were taken in by the
police. The second research on the same subject was conducted in 1992 with the aim to check if any change had
taken place during the time that had passed. This time 90
children were selected at random and again interviewed
separately. The most important question that needed to be
answered was whether any step had been taken by governmental institutions to apply preventive and treatment measures to tackle the problem of children with deviant behavior. First of all it must be stated that the latter survey showed that, with very few exceptions, the situation did not
change since the former study. Second, both studies clearly
revealed that running away from home (absconding) is the
most common form of deviant behavior. With one exception (to pick pockets) absconding is the beginning of all the
other forms of deviancies. Thus, it is the most grave type.
One indicator of both studies is the fact that many of these
children come from broken homes. If the child is a persistent absconder and no effort is made to resocialize him,
the outcome of this will be discussed in detail. A runaway
adolescent is a candidate offender. The risks absconders
may encounter will be presented. Most important of all is
the role played by the primary socializing agency; the family. In a world in which even the definition of the concept
of family has been modified, it is of crucial importance to
stress the distinct relation between the assistance given to
dependent members in a serene family environment and
their sane physical, psychological and social development.

Scholars have begun to pay greater attention to how
contexts external to families influence their quality of life.
The term context is often limited to describing differences
in family structure. For example, studies have documented
differences between single-parent and two-parent families
1993 NCFR Conference
�or dual- versus single-earner families. The symposium's
ecological approach gives equal attention to distal contextual factors such as neighborhood or employment as they
influence families. We show the way to move beyond the
simple "social address" comparison whereby families are
contrasted between settings, to also consider variation
within settings. Our panel brings together four distinctive
areas in family studies Sch., jobs, community, and
ethnicity to illustrate the complexity and richness that the
use of context adds to the study of families.

PERCEPTIONS OF MARRIAGE PREPARATION
PROGRAMS: A BI-RACIAL ANALYSIS.
Stephen F. Duncan, Dept. of HHD, Montana State
Univ., Bozeman, MT 59717, Gabrielle Box, Dept. of FCD,
Auburn Univ., AL 36849.
Previous studies of perceptions of marriage preparation programs have relied on white samples. Since blacks
participate in adult education at lower rates, it was believed
that comparing black young adult preferences with whites
might reveal there is a need to alter program structure and
marketing strategies to attract larger segments of the black
population. Data from 315 young adults (58% white, 42%
black) suggest the ideal marriage preparation program
would: cost less then $50, be located within 15 miles of the
participant's residence, require less than 7 total hours, be
held within a 4 to 6 week period during weekday evenings,
involve a couple and trainer format, be offered at a church/
temple, use a combination of instructional methods to teach
especially about the topics of commitment, communication,
and conflict, and would be recommend by a parent. Respondents also identified parents as the preferred and
highest quality source of marriage preparation. Very few
differences were found between blacks and whites. Whites
expressed more willingness to travel farther distances and
invest more time in hours and weeks in a program.

PREDICTING MARITAL STABILITY WITH THE
PREPARATION FOR MARRIAGE (PREP-M)
QUESTIONNAIRE: A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS.
Jefffry H. Larson, CFLE, Thomas Holman, CFLE, &
Stacy Harmer, Stacv, Dept. of Fam. Sci., Brigham Young
Univ., Provo, UT 84602.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability
of the PREParation for MaJTiage (PREP-M) questionnaire
to predict marital stability one year after marriage. Using a
longitudinal design and a sample of 103 couples, we tested
the ability of the PREP-M to predict marital stability one
year after marriage based on premarital PREP-M scores.
The results suggest that the PREP-M was able to discriminate premaritally between those whose marriages will be
Proceedings
stable after one year of marriage, and those whose marriages are unstable, who canceled their marriage, and who
delayed their marriage. Educational, counseling and
research implications are drawn.

MORAL DISCOURSE AS EFFECTIVE FAMILY LIFE
EDUCATION.
Terrance D. Olson, Family Sciences Dept., 1000
Kimball Tower, BYU, Provo, UT 84602.
When Family life education (FLE) seeks to improve
the quality of life in families, it is a moral endeavor. Such
education assumes or demonstrates that such programs
promote, rather than undermine, the well-being of the individual. But what if the content of such endeavors includes
moral discourse directly? This paper shows how such discourse can address, practically and powerfully, the quality
of family relationships among the consumers of family life
education. It will show how such discourse need not prescribe behavior nor dissolve into relativism. The approach
requires a transformation in theory which is more fundamental than any changes in practice. When ethical action is
seen as relational, the moral meaning of human action is
assessed in relationship contexts, not individualistic ones.
Then even practical suggestions to family members change.
The paper will sketch how best to foster quality of life in
families, how problems are solved, and how family life
educators can engage in moral discourse as a means to
strengthening the quality of family relationships.

PREDICTORS OF INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP
QUALITY IN YOUNG ADULTS.
Linda C. Robinson, JaneL. Garthoeffner, & Carolyn
S. Henry, CFLE, FRCD Dept., OSU, Stillwater, OK
74078.
This study explored the ability of specific family,
individual, and interpersonal variables to predict the quality of interpersonal relationships in young adulthood. A
purposive sample of undergraduate students (n=356)
completed a self-report questionnaire. The results of the
multiple regression analysis indicated that conflict resolution was a significant positive predictor of relationship
quality and anxiety concerning committed relationships
was a significant negative predictor. Thus, conflict negotiation skills and the reduction of relationship anxiety may
be particular areas of focus for education and enrichment.

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS' DEFINITIONS AND
PERCEPTIONS OF DIVERSE FAMILY STRUCTURES.
Donna Y. Ford, Dept of Fam. St., Rosetta Sandidge,
Dept. of Voc. Educ., niv. of Kentucky, Lex., KY 40506.
Much data highlight the Nation's changing racial
landscape. These data carry important implications for
family scientists who must ultimately work with the diverse
family structures that result from the demographic changes.
Current and future family scientists must carefully consider
their perceptions of and values about the increasing diversity found among families single-parent female headed,
divorced, separated, cohabiting, same gender, and extended
families, for example. The presentation focuses on a study

FAMILY VALUES: AN AFRICAN AMERICAN ORAL
TRADITION.
Linda Almond McWright, Harriette Pipes McAdoo,
Bridget R. Carbins Woods, Dept. of Family and Child
Ecology, Michigan State Univ., East Lansing, MI 48824.
It has been discussed that proverbs are an African
American oral tradition, and are allusive, symbolic images
of African American values. We examined the hypothesis
that family oriented values are passed down from generation to generation regardless of the vast changes African
American families are currently experiencing. This study
data on two hundred students from a major mid-western
Univ. were used to expand the generalizability of
McAdoo's 1988 Values Study conducted in Washington,
D.C. A factor analysis of the study was conducted yielding
two factors. The first factor consisted of proverbs related to
self-sufficiency, self-esteem, and strong work ethic, assertiveness, and positive racial attitudes. The second factor
consisted of proverbs related to perseverance, the mother's
role in the family, father's role in the family, and selfesteem. Support was found for McAdoo's hypothesis. We
found that family oriented values that promote self-sufficiency, self-esteem, and positive racial attitudes are currently being passed down to the present generation. The implications for further research and social policy are explored.

Little is known about the marital expectations of
either Black or White college students. The purpose of this
study was to compare Black and White college students'
expectations for themselves and their future marital partners. The primary instrument administered was an Expectation Inventory which measures expectations for self and
spouse on items such as annual income, level of education,
level of intelligence, level of professional success, division
of housework, and parenting. Results indicate that White
females were more traditional in their views than White
and Black males. Black females were more egalitarian.

UNDERSTANDING DIVORCE IN THE AFRICAN
AMERICAN FAMILY. BLACK MEN SPEAK OUT.
Aaron Thompson. Jr., Dept. of Anth/Soc/Social Swk.,
Eastern KY Univ., Richmond, KY 40475, Erma Lawson,
Dept. of Behav. Scs., Univ. of KY, Lexington, KY 40504.
In-depth interviews were used to collect data from
African American men who are currently married or divorced (N = 20). This paper examines causes and consequences of divorce in the African American family from
the male's point of view. Concurrent with the increased
number of single parents in the black family structure, marital dissolution has increased at a more rapid pace for
blacks when compared to whites. These data offer possible
reasons for this difference. We also look at post-divorce
coping mechanisms that might be race-specific. Implications and general recommendations for future research on
divorce and the black family are presented.

RELATIONSHIP QUALITY BETWEEN YOUNG ADULTS
AND THEIR PARENTS: A LIFE COURSE MODEL.
WilliamS. Aquilino, Child & Family Studies, &
Larry L. Bumpass, Dept. of Soc., Univ. of Wisconsin,
Madison, WI 53706.
Data from the National Survey of Families &
Households were used to estimate the impact of 1) adult
children's life course transitions, and 2) the history of
childhood family structures experienced by children, on
relationship quality and contact between young adults and
their parents. Results suggest that young adults' marital and
parental status strongly influenced the mother-daughter
relationship, but had little influence on other parent-child
pairs. Adult children's social mobiiity was positively related to relationship quality and contact. Children's unemployment negatively influenced father-son relations, but
had a positive impact on parent-daughter relations. All
forms of childhood family disruption weakened fatherchild relations in adulthood. Living in a single parent

�family had no negative effects on the mother-child
relationship. Late life parental divorce (divorce when
children were adults) had a consistent negative impact on
parent-child relationship quality and contact.

MOTIVATIONS FOR CONTINUED CONTACT IN ADULT
SIBLING RELATIONSHIPS.
Patricia P. Fisher & Jay A. Mancini. Family & Child
Dev., VA Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061.
A randomly selected sample of respondents, ages 25
and over with adult siblings, completed questionnaires to
determine if sibling relationships function to meet certain
relational needs. Russell and Cutrona's Social Provisions
Scale (SPS) measured attachment, social integration, opportunity for nurturance, reassurance of worth, reliable
alliance, and guidance as relational functions. Stepwise
regression revealed adult sibling relationships provided all
functions except for reassurance of worth. Frequency of
contact was the most significant predictor of getting relational needs met. Findings suggest that sibling relationships
meet certain needs and that greater contact may lead to
greater relational quality. Too, relational benefits may
explain frequency of contact. Implications for family
theorists and family practitioners are present.

FILIAL RESPONSIBILITY EXPECTATIONS AND
PATTERNS OF INTERGENERATIONAL ASSISTANCE.
Gary Lee and Julie Netzer, Dept. Soc., Ray Coward,
Ctr. for Health Policy Research, Univ. of Florida,
Gainesville, FL 32611.
Data were obtained from 394 elderly parents on filial
responsibility expectations (beliefs that their children are
obliged to assist them) and actual patterns of intergenerational exchange. Contrary to hypotheses based on exchange
theory, filial responsibility expectations are unrelated to assistance received from children. However, parents with
higher expectations for assistance from children provide
more assistance to children when other factors are controlled. Implications of unfulfilled expectations are discussed.

MARITAL CONFLICTS IN LATER LIFE.
Maximiliane Szinovacz, Dept. of Soc., Old Dominion
Univ., Norfolk, VA 23529.
This study investigates the influence of spouses' retirement on the frequency of marital conflicts over household tasks, money, and spending time together. The analyses rely on logistic regressions and are based on a subsample of the National Survey of Families and Households
(N = 672). Results reveal that conflicts in later-life mar-
Proceedings
riages are tied to specific resource allocation patterns (time
spent together, housework) and norms rather than to
spouses' retirement per se. However, selected employment/
retirement patterns become significant predictors of marital
conflict if they occur in conjunction with other spouse/
couple characteristics. Husbands' retirement seems to be
associated with increased marital conflicts primarily if the
husband supports a traditional division of labor between
spouses and if the wife holds traditional views concerning
the husband's role as main provider. Wife's retirement, on
the other hand, apparently enhances marital conflicts
primarily among couples in which wives spend much time
on household work.

THE GENDERED FAMILY AND THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A SENSE OF JUSTICE.
Susan Moller Okin, Marta Sutton Weeks Professor
of Ethics in Society, Dept. of Political Science, Stanford
Univ., Stanford, CA.
Contemporary research in moral psychology confirms
the age-old observations that children can show signs of
having a moral sense very early in life. At least since classical Athens, it has been recognized that the environment of
early childhood affects moral development. From early
modern times, the family, specifically, has frequently been
regarded by moral philosophers as the locus for the initial
growth of a sense of justice and other virtues. Yet, paradoxically, almost all of those same philosophers have not addressed the morality of relations within the family itself.
Either they have assumed the legitimacy of patriarchal rule
over wives and children, or they have regarded relations
among family memberts as naturally loving and altruistic,
such that they are beyond the need for values such as justice. Dr. Olein challenges these later assumptions by stating
that contemporary research in moral psychology confirms
the age-old observations that children can show signs of
having a moral sense very early in life. Moral potential is
there to be fostered or stifled in them. She disagrees with
virtually every moral or political philospher who has addressed this issue. She argues that unless families themselves are just and fair, unless the values are exemplified in
the human interaction that children observe in those closest
to them, they are unlikely to develop these values. Thus,
justice within the family, and in most cases, between the
sexes, is crucial to the development of a sense of justice.

ACTNITIES AFTER HUSBANDS RETIRE:
ANTICIPATIONS AND EXPERIENCES.
Barbara H. Vinick, Normative Aging Study, VA
Medical Center, Bedford, MA, 01730, David J. Ekerdt,
Univ. of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS, 66103,
Estelle Record-Stanley, Normative Aging Study.
As an element of anticipatory socialization, ability to
predict future roles accurately may impact subsequent
adaptation. Part of a larger study of retirement and marital
quality, this longitudinal research examined husbands' and
wives' (n=61 couples) anticipations of changes (more/less/
same) in six individual and joint activities following husbands' retirement, and compared them with couples' reported experiences a year after husbands had retired. With
the exception of household tasks continuity in levels of
activity from pre-to post-retirement were greater than couples had anticipated. Cross-classification of responses at
baseline and Time 2 indicated only modest correspondence
between anticipated and experienced change in activities.
Accuracy of anticipation was not related significantly
to retirement satisfaction as hypothesized, but direction of
retirement-satisfaction mean scores, especially among
wives, suggest that future testing would be warranted.
LIFESPAN PATTERNS OF FARM INVOLVEMENT:
COMPLETING THE PICTURE.
Brenda Munro, Norah Keating, Dept of Family
Studies, 3-38 Assiniboia Hall, Univ. of Alberta, Edmonton,
AB, Canada T6G 2E7; and Ray Bollman, Agriculture
Division, Statistics Canada, Ottawa, KIA OT6.
Assumptions about farm family businesses have led
to research which is focused on men and which has lead
some scholars to view women as invisible farmers. We
have few systematic comparisons of how men and women
are involved in their farms, or how that involvement
changes across the life span. Objectives of this study were
to investigate the farm work, management and ownership
of women, men, adult children and their spouses in their
farm businesses across the lifecycle.
The sample consisted of 262 individuals from 74
farm families. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with
each family member using a questionnaire with parallel
forms for adult male, adult female, child male, child female. Findings were augmented with Statistics Canada data
on the numbers of farms that begin and end their cycles
through family transfers.
Findings were that both men and women pass through
stages of involvement in the farm business. Women have
similar patterns to men of movement into and out of their
businesses, although their levels of involvement are consistently lower. Nonetheless, large variations with age
groups in levels of involvement suggest that gender issues
in farm business require further exploration to complete the
picture of lifecycle involvement of women and men.

CONGRUENCEBETWEENREALANDIDEALMARITAL
CONCEPTS: ITS RELATIONSHIP TO MARITAL
SATISFACTION.
Thomas R. Hoover, Family Guidance Center, Reed &
Washington Streets, Reading, PA 19601.
Marital stability appears to be closely linked to marital satisfaction. An understanding of the subjectivity inherent in marital satisfaction seems critical in the prevention
of marital distress and dissolution. Utilizing the semantic
differential measurement instrument, spouses' perceptions
of their actual, or "real" marriage and their aspired, or
"ideal" marriage were obtained from two sample groups,
one seeking marital therapy and the other not seeking marital therapy. Individuals seeking marital therapy demonstrated greater discrepancy between their perceptions of
their "real" and "ideal" marriage than individuals not seeking marital therapy. Husbands and wives of couples seeking therapy also demonstrated greater discrepancy between
their respective perceptions of their "real" marriage and
their respective perceptions of their "ideal" marriage. The
findings cast in bold relief the disparity between individuals' actual and desired marriage experience as well as the
lack of shared meaning that characterize distressed couples. Implications for marital therapy and for future
research are also discussed.

THE MEANING OF RETIREMENT IN THE CULTURE
OF FARMING: A CROSS-NATIONAL COMPARISON.
Ramona Marotz-Baden, Dept. Health & Human Dev.,
MT State Univ., Bozeman, MT 59717, Norah Keating and
Brenda Munro, Dept. Family Studies, Univ. of Alberta,
Edmonton, Canada T6G 2E2.
Survey research data were collected from 357 members of the retiring and 272 members of the receiving
generation in U.S. and Canadian farm families. Using generational stake theory, it was hypothesized that the two
generations would view retirement differently based on
their differential stakes in farming and family continuity.
Cross-national differences were explored with political
policies and tax laws hypothesized as explaining differing
views on retirement. The older generation's view of retirement as a reduction in responsibility and as cessation of
ownership by the younger generation supported different
generational views of the stake in farming. Asymmetry in
parental child relations in the stake of family continuity is
illustrated by the finding that establishing children in farm-
1993 NCFR Conference
�ing was viewed by the older generation as an important
reason for retirement. The younger generation said pursuing other activities was more important, suggesting that
they are throwing off the stake. The findings that fewer
U.S. respondents thought the parental generation would
retire and that retirement had a somewhat different meaning in the two countries suggests that retirement may be
viewed more positively and/or as a more viable option in
Canada. Reasons generational and cross-national differences are discussed and implications suggested for practitioners, researchers, and policy makers.

NORMATIVE MARITAL STRESS IN MEXICAN-ANGLO

Mary S. Marczak, Brenda L. Bass, Dept. of Family
Studies, Univ. of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721.
Studies exploring intergroup marriages, including
Mexican-Anglo marriages, suggest that there is a potential
for greater stress in these marriages. Cultural differences,
along with general societal disapproval can intensify normative marital stressors present in all marriages. The present study examined normative marital stress in the context
of two marital groups, Mexican-Anglo and Anglo-Anglo
couples. The results suggest not only group differences in
the frequency of the stressors, but also in the intensity of
the stressors.

Manhattan, KS 66506-1403.
1200 couples from eight western and midwestern
states were surveyed on their marital satisfaction to replicate previous research that had found that, within couples,
wives were less happily married and that a minority of
wives were much more distressed than their husbands.
Based on a repeated measures analysis of variance, results
confirmed previous findings overall, though there was considerable variation among state samples. Implications for
marriage as a moral institution are discussed.

A PERSPECTIVE ON INTERGENERATIONAL
RELIGIOUS VALUE AND BEHAVIOR PATTERNS.
Sharon L. Anderson & Rob Palkovitz. Univ. of DE,
Dept. oflnd. & Fam. Studies, Newark, DE 19716.
The intergenerational religious value literature often
Proceedings
reveals a pattern of parent-child intercorrelations; however,
it fails to consider either the parent's or the child's perception of each other's values.
This self-report study examined the relationships
between mothers' and their college-age childrens' religious
values and behaviors. Both the young people and the
mothers independently completed an Intergenerational
Religious Value Survey and a Religious Behavior Survey.
In addition to personal data, the mothers' and the young
persons' perceptions of each others' values and behaviors
were assessed. Pearson product-moment correlations,
matched pair comparisons, frequency distributions, and
paired t-tests were used to analyze the data.
These data indicated a pattern of intercorrelations
between mother and child religious values and behaviors.
Consistent with an intergenerational value transfer
perspective, the young persons' perceptions of maternal
religious values were significantly related to acceptance or
rejection of those values.

A sample of 159 older persons age 60 to 89 from
Arizona and Utah were studied to determine sibling contacts and activities. Such information is important with the
increasing numbers of the elderly.
The results point to the value of siblings, especially in
terms of companionship and informal support. The implications for public policy are many, tailoring intervention

Written questionnaires were mailed to 80 mothergrandmother pairs to determine if differences existed in
their parenting and family relationships. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and Latent Variable Path
Analysis with Partial Least Squares (PLS). Grandmothers
(G 1s) scored higher on conscientiousness and affectional
expression in marriage; however, mothers (G2s) were more
nurturant as parents. Structural models were analyzed for
G 1s and G2s with neuroticism and conscientiousness as
personality variables. G2s who were more neurotic were
less nurturant as parents. G2s who were more conscientious

is suggested as being useful in better understanding the
results of this study.

SUPPORT SYSTEMS OF THE ELDERLY.
H.S. Dunaway, P.S. Draughn, P.A. Monroe, Human
Ecology, LSU, Baton Rouge, LA 70803.
Interviews with 50 nonparent and 50 parent elderly
were done to determine and compare the amount and type
of services used. The hierarchical -compensatory model
which predicts that elderly care recipients will choose
informal (unpaid, family) assistance before formal (paid)
services, was tested. Findings support the model. Both
childless and parent elderly choose informal support before
obtaining formal support. However, childless elderly often
used and spent more for formal services.
Childless elderly have less informal support available, thus are forced to buy services needed. Childless
elderly with inadequate resources may be left without the
necessities to live independently.

THE INFLUENCE OF FAMILY AND PERSONAL FACTORS IN RETIREMENT TIMING: CRITICAL ISSUES
FACING FAMILIES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR POLICYMAKERS.
George P. Rowe and Wesley D. Daberkow, Dept. of
Family & Consumer Sciences, Univ.of Nebraska, Lincoln,
NE 68583-0801.
Retired state government workers (361) responded to
a mailed questionnaire concerning the timing of and reasons for their retirement. The research instrument consisted
of a modified version of an interview schedule used previously by the senior author. The mean age was about 71
with subjects having been retired an average of eight years.
The sample was evenly divided between men and women
with over half being married.
The key factors predicting early retirement were poor
health, job burn-out, feeling forced to retire by employer
and the need women felt to become caregivers for frail
family members. The retirement timing influenced life
satisfaction in the following ways: (1) For financial reasons
early retirees felt they retired too soon; (2) Health improved for early retirees who retired for health and job
burn-out reasons; (3) Spending time with family was the
most significant retirement activity.

THE MOTHER-ROLE BURDEN AND PSYCHOLOGICAL
WELL-BEING IN MID-LIFE WOMEN.
Meejung, Chin. Dept. of Consumer Stud.& Child
Development, Seoul National Univ.
This study was to investigate the relationships of
mother-role burden and psychological well-being in midlife women. Mother's identification of children was considered because of importance of cultural norm about motherhood. The subjects of this study were 578 women at 40-59
living in Seoul. Findings showed women's psychological
well-being (depression, self-esteem and life satisfaction)
wasn't low level in mid-life. Women's identification of
children was positively related to mother-role burden and
role burden was negatively related to psychological wellbeing. As a result, middle aged mother in Korea had fairly
burden of child but their psychological well-being wasn't
low. Possibly it is due to the fact mothers regard their
burden of child as acceptable duty.

There are many underutilized sources of data that
have important implications for the elderly and their families. Several sources of data have been utilized for this
presentation including census data, state health statistics,
state human service reports, volunteer organization statistics and results of Masters and Doctoral theses on older
persons and their families. The first part of our paper details the use of such data sources, their accessibility and the
strengths and weaknesses inherent in using them as we experienced in developing a report on the status of older persons in our state. The second part of our paper uses this
data to look at the situation of the elderly as relevant to
families and service providers and to present information
countering two myths about the elderly in our society. One
myth is that the elderly are abandoned by family members
and stuck in institutions. Data on caregiving, family exchanges, household composition, and grandparenting are
relevant to this issue. The other myth is that the elderly are
a burden on their family members. Data on family exchanges, service utilization, volunteerism, and economic
aspects of aging are important to this issue.

Interviews, both individual and couple, were conducted with 80 adoptive parents. Parents were asked about
the adoptive grandparents' reactions to the decision to
adopt and the grandparents' more recent feelings about the
adoption. Parents' interpretations were conceptualized as
central, as parents are the bridge generation. The interviews were analyzed using the constant comparative
method. Patterns of husband-wife similarity and difference,
and reactions of grandparents to type of adoption (confidential, mediated, and fully-disclosed) were analyzed. In
the literature, grandparents almost always are conceptualized as latent or active sources of support. However,
adoption often was found to be a source of conflict between parent and grandparent generations. Findings include
the process of creation of the multigen-erational adoptive
family, including transitions; differential perception and
variations in mutual expectations; and a typology of
adoptive grandparents. Findings are related to symbolic
interaction and conflict theories. Inclusion of grandparents
in adoption planning and rituals is discussed. Preparation
of adoptive parents for grandparents' reactions is recommended. Further implications for family practitioners,
family educators and policy are presented.

Lindley, East Carolina Univ., Greenville, NC 27858.
This research was a cooperative effort between a military base and the researchers to investigate factors that
might be related to predicting which military personnel are
at risk for spouse abuse. Using the Conflict Tactics Scale to
measure couple violence, FACES III, the Kansas Marital
Satisfaction Scale, the Attitudes Toward Women Scale, the
Sex-Role Orientation Scale, and the Rosenberg SelfEsteem Scale were used to determine variables that seemed
to predict those personnel most likely to be involved in
spouse abuse. Results found significant relationships between CTS scores and selected variables for both husbands
and wives. Regression analyses yielded eight variables that
are predictive of violence. Military personnel were provided with an educational format for identifying military
couples at risk for violence.

EVALUATION OF WORK AND FAMILY ROLES BY
FAMILY DAY CARE PROVIDERS, MOTHERS AT HOME
AND EMPLOYED MOTHERS.
Alice M. Atkinson, CFLE, Div. of Cur. & Ins., Univ.
of Iowa, Iowa City, lA 52242.
Mothers with young children evaluated the importance, problems and satisfactions of work and family roles.
Family day care providers differed from mothers at home
and mothers employed outside the home in how they evaluated the rewards of an occupation and the traditional role
of motherhood.
Providers indicated highest agreement with the rewards of an occupational role. Providers and mothers at
home agreed that 'working mothers miss their children's
best years' and 'mothers should stay home if they can afford to'. Providers and employed mothers agreed that it is
possible to combine work and family.
Mothers in all three groups expressed ambivalence in
how to maximize their time, income, relationships with
family members and other adults, and recognition of work
efforts. Understanding mothers' attitudes has important implications for the recruitment, retention and training of
providers.

This study examines the effects of family systems
variables such as cohesion, general family functioning, and
perceived stress on dyadic adjustment of employees and
their spouses. Self-report questionnaire data was collected
to assess various dimensions of family wellness from a random sample of three hundred twenty (n = 320) married
university employees during a time of job insecurity.
Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to
predict dyadic adjustment. Results indicated that general
56
family functioning, perceived stress and cohesion were
significantly related to level of dyadic adjustment. Being
the employee versus the spouse of the employee who was
facing job insecurity was unrelated to marital adjustment as
was family income. This study suggests that employers and
helping professionals need to be sensitive to the systemic
impactof threatened job loss.

Nowhere in contemporary society is the clash of values related to expected role performance more evident than
in work and family roles. The increasing involvement of
women and minorities in the workplace has not been accompanied by a shift in cultural values related to work and
family that would make this transition smooth. Organizational, government and internal family policies continue to
reflect traditional expectations of work and family life.
Balancing work and family roles is likely to remain a significant issue in the foreseeable future. Knowledge of public, workplace and family policies which affect the achievement of this balance is essential for family professionals. In

The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive value of a model comprised of gender, gender-role attitudes, and marital communication for spousal intimacy,
spousal autonomy, cohesion, and adaptability. Forty-eight
dual-career couples with one to three children participated.
Regression analyses showed that the model was predictive
of spousal intimacy, spousal autonomy, and cohesion. In
the total sample, gender and femininity predicted spousal
intimacy, communication predicted spousal autonomy, and
femininity and communication predicted cohesion. Separate follow-up analyses for husbands and wives revealed
that marital communication was predictive of intimacy for
husbands and wives, that communication was predictive of
cohesion for husbands and wives and that femininity was
predictive of cohesion for husbands.

This study examines public opinion towards government spending on child care, testing competing theories of
symbolic politics and self-interest motivations. Using National Election Survey data (n = 1274), LOGIT analysis
revealed support for symbolic politics theory: liberals and
democrats favored child care spending. Self-interest variables predicted lower support for spending. Having young
children and marital status had no effect on support for
spending.

THE IMPACT OF MOTHER'S EMPLOYMENT ON
FAMILY STYLE A PATH ANALYSIS ON FAMILIES OF
CHINESE AND AMERICAN COL. STUDENTS.
Yi-Min Mindy Wang and Karen Altergott, Child Dev.
& Fam. Stud., Purdue Univ., W. Lafayette, IN 47907.
Many studies concerning the impact of maternal employment have focused on infants, preschoolers, and school
age children. Relatively little is known about the impacts of
maternal employment on children beyond adolescent. This
study investigates how mother's employment and her satisfaction with work influence the family style of college students. FACES III was used to measure family style in terms
of cohesion and adaptability. In addition, mother's education level, employment status, and work satisfaction were
measured. Seventy-five students with a Chinese cultural
background and six hundred and sixty-two undergraduate
American students responded to questionnaires. While
mother's work satisfaction has an impact on the cohesion
of the family, the education level (rather than employment
status) of mother has a direct impact on adaptability. In addition, mother's education level does have an impact on the
decision whether she has a paid employment or not. Meanwhile, the culture background has an impact only on the
educational level of mother. In conclusion, mother's

QUALITY OF CHILDCARE AS DETERMINED BY THE
HARMS/CLIFFORD SCALES.
Stephen Bollman, CFLE, Eric Killian, Dept. of
HDFS, Kansas State Univ., Manhattan, KS 66506.
Data were collected from Child Care Providers who
contracted with the state of Kansas to provide care for
children age birth to five years. (n = 320) A random sample
was taken of the five types of childcare: Center based, Infant & Toddler, Licensed daycare, registered daycare
homes and out of home relatives registered homes. The
problem was twofold, first to ascertain the level of child
care currently being provided, and second to identify areas
of knowledge to determine specific training for improving
the quality of care each child receives. The data was analyzed using the subscales of the Harms/Clifford environmental rating scales. There was little difference found
between the center scores. The state average was 4.9 on a 7
point scale. The state average for licensed and registered
home providers ranged from 3.4 to 4.0 on a 7 point scale.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the
predictive power of five stressors on clergy marital satisfaction. The sample for this study included 86 male
57
�ordained manied clergy and their spouses (n = 172).
Regression analyses were used to test the predictive power
of two models for marital satisfaction of male clergy and
their spouses. The first model tested assessed the influence
of five work related stressors gender, and marital conventionalization on marital satisfaction. The second model
assessed the influence of selected sociodemographic variables that included church size, education level, length of
maniage, number of moves, age, income, and age of
youngest child on marital satisfaction. In the first model,
marital conventionalization and expectations were significant predictors of marital satisfaction. In the second
model, church size, length of marriage, educational attainment, and the number of moves over the clergy person's
career were significant predictors of marital satisfaction.

The theory of reasoned action was utilized to examine the choice between tradition vs. a more involved fathering style. A survey research design was employed which
utilized a random sample of 190 college males who one
day intended to be fathers. A two-stage procedure proposed by the theory developers was used to construct the
research instrument. Samples were divided according to
subjects' report of their own father's parenting styles,
either traditional or more involved. Whereas 57% of the
respondents perceived their father figures to be more involved fathers, 43% of the respondents perceived their
fathers to be more traditional. A path analytic model was
utilized to examine the choice intention of fathering styles
for each group of subjects, with the model for subjects
raised by traditional fathers explaining 81% of the
variance. In comparison, the path model for those subjects
raised by a more involved father explained 32% of the
variance. Emphasis is given to the unique contributions
made by each path analytic model, as well as the
discrepancy between the amount of explained variance
between the models. Implications for family practitioners
and educators are presented.

Two components of the father role have been
identified as provider and nurturer. Data from NSFH were
58
used to examine whether the relationship between a
father's provider role expectations and his behaviors
differed in divorced (n = 290) and nondivorced (n = 1929)
fathers. Results indicated that traditional provider role
expectations were related to paternal behavior for nondivorced fathers, but not for divorced fathers. The findings
support the hypotheses that the father's definition of fatherhood is related to his provider paternal behavior albeit
differently as a function of marital status.

THE SOCIAL PERCEPTION OF FATHERHOOD: A
COMPARISON OF FATHER'S AND MOTHER'S
CAREGIVING DURING MEALTIME.
Suzanne R. Smith, Dept. of Soc., Erskine Col., Due
West, SC 29639.
Society perceives that fathers are taking a more active
role within the family, this role is referred to as the conduct
of fathers, but what is perhaps changing more rapidly is the
culture of fatherhood, or the shift in society's perception of
what roles each parent is to play. The purpose of this study
was to compare the caregiving roles of mothers and fathers
during mealtime. Three families were observed during
mealtime to determine which parent was fulfilling what
needs the child may have had and who seemed to provide
the needed child care during meals. The families involved
did maintain a fairly traditional division of labor. While
there were signs of care from each parent, the fathers held a
more social role as the mothers maintained a more task
oriented role. All mothers seated themselves closest to the
youngest children increasing their likelihood of caregiving
behavior. Thus, while the culture of fatherhood is changing
in today's society, the conduct of fathers isn't progressing
as quickly.

In this paper we examine the effects of attitudes concerning sex and procreation outside of maniage, saliency
of religion and attitudes about the provider role on the hhl
of married women and men and the level of labor segregation in married households. We argue that these measures
reflect general belief systems which shape gender roles
within marriage. The data used in this study are from the
1987 National Survey of Families and Households. We
find that women's identification with a conservative religious base affects men's household labor and the level of
segregation and that men's attitudes about morality affect
women's housework time.

Self-report questionnaires were administered to
adolescents (N = 594) from a wide range of family socioeconomic backgrounds. The purpose of this study was to
examine how two sources of parental influence, parental
legitimate authority and parental coercive authority, were
predicted differently by such parental behaviors as support,
companionship, positive induction, guilt induction, punitiveness, autonomy-granting, and love withdrawal. Results
of multiple regressions indicated that parents had higher
degrees of legitimate authority when adolescents also
viewed them as fostering independence, being rational in
their control attempts, spending positive time with their
offspring, and providing affection. In contrast, parents were
viewed as having higher coercive authority when adolescents viewed parents as using higher amounts of punitiveness and guilt induction as well as when fathers were less
inclined to foster autonomy in youth.
PARENTING STYLE AND PERCEIVED PARENTAL
COMPETENCE AMONG PARENTS OF ADOLESCENTS.
Karen Bogenschneider, Stephen A. Small, & Wm.
Michael Fleming, Ch. & Fam. Studies, 1300 Linden, Univ.
of Wis., Madison, Wl53706.
Studies of parenting processes during adolescence
have concentrated almost exclusively on the influence of
parental functioning on adolescents. Few studies have attempted to disentangle factors that contribute to competent
parenting. This study examines whether parents' perceived
sense of competence varies as a function of parenting style.
Nearly three-quarters of all parents of 6th to 12th graders
in a small, rural midwestern community completed the survey (N = 165). Authoritative parents reported the highest
levels of perceived competence followed by indulgent,
authoritarian, and uninvolved parents. Fathers were more
likely to report using an uninvolved childrearing style
while mothers were twice as likely as fathers to report
using an authoritative style. Furthermore, mothers rated
themselves as more competent than fathers, and parents of
sons felt more competent than parents of daughters. Implications for developing programs and materials that better
meet the needs of parents of adolescents will be discussed.

PARENTAL VALUES AND GOALS FOR CHILDREN AND

PARENT.
David C. Dollahite, Sheree Marshall, Hum. Dev. &
Fam. Stud., UNCG, Greensboro, NC, 27412.
Respondents (N = 299) from three ethnic groups
(African-American, American Indian, and Euro-American)
were asked open-ended questions about the values or goals
they had for their children (aged 8-14). Parents responded
fairly similarly. The values or goals dealt with education,
religion, relationships, and achievement. This convergence
suggests that there are a few basic things that most parents
stress to their children, regardless of rural or urban residence, ethnicity, gender of parent, or age of child, suggesting there may be broad cultural values parents emphasize. Where divergences existed, they were interpreted using a compensatory view of values, that is, that people tend
to value things that are scarce rather than things that are
abundant.
EDUCATING THE EDUCATOR: A CONTINUING

Orthopaedic Surgeons, Rosemont, IL, 60018.
Physicians, because of their contact with children and
families, are often asked to serve as sexuality educators.
Many doctors, however, feel ill-prepared to assume this
role. A continuing medical education (CME) course was
developed to improve and enhance physicians' communication skills and knowledge regarding AIDS and sexuality.
This paper presents the educational components of the
course, describes the research components related to the
course, and shares materials used for training and evaluation. The 3-day course covered various aspects of child &
adolescent development, sexuality, AIDS, and communication skills. Lectures were interspersed with experiential
components to facilitate attention and assimilation. An
experimental research design was used to evaluate program
effectiveness. Knowledge and attitude tests revealed that
the course was successful in improving participants'
knowledge about sexuality and AIDS and shifting attitudes
about several sexuality-related issues.

FOSTERING MORAL DISCOURSE WITH
ADOLESCENTS: A FAMILY TALKS ABOUT
SEX SECOND EDITION.
John A. Bruce, The E.C. Brown Foundation, 101 SW
Main Street, Suite 500, Portland, OR 97204.
An enduring issue in the moral development of adolescents is the question of helping them to achieve greater
sympathy and realism in their affective and cognitive
awareness of the legitimacy of parental attitudes and concerns. The E. C. Brown Foundation's film "A Family Talks
About Sex Second Edition" has been found to be a useful
educational device when shown to adolescents, encouraging them to attempt the perspective of the parent generation, in this instance focused on the issue of sexual concerns, thereby gaining greater insight into their wider social
circumstances in general, and particularly on their eventual
roles as parents themselves. By using Erik Erikson's "Eight
Ages of Man" as a familiar and accessible developmental
conceptual framework, teachers, clinicians and other helping professionals may present the film as a means of demonstrating respect for the legitimacy and moral dignity of
the life-tasks of parents as well as adolescents. The hopedfor results are greater mutual appreciation between adults
and children, and an eventual new generation of parents
with greater skill in guiding the moral development and
sensitivity of their own children.
PREVENTING CHILD ABUSE: THE PARENTING PATHS
PROJECT.
Debra Gebeke, CFLE, and Dale Hawley, North
Dakota State Univ., Fargo, ND, 58105.
With child abuse in the United States occurring at an
alarming rate, prevention of violence toward children is a
vital concern for communities. This paper will describe the
Parenting Paths Project, a cooperative effort of university,
medical, and community organizations (Kiwanis leadership) to provide preventive intervention to all families with
newborns in an urban area. The project seeks to educate
families with newborns about the potential for child abuse,
to provide a personalized assessment for parents, and to
establish a support base where needed to counteract the
isolation factor often found among parents in child abuse
cases. Three components are included in the program: (1) a
self report assessment package consisting of the AdultAdolescent Parenting Inventory, the Family of Origin
Scale, and the Parenting Paths Inventory to be administered
at the seven month mark of pregnancy; (2) a video dealing
with child abuse to be shown while the mother is in the
hospital and accompanied with feedback on the assessment
package by hospital personnel; and (3) follow-up contact
through home visiting or telephone to address concerns
during the first month after birth and to acquaint parents
with community resources. Several evaluations are planned. The first phase addresses effectiveness of the assessment process. These results and other data will be
presented.

In British Columbia school-based suicide education
was offered on an ad hoc basis. In September 1992, the
B.C. Council for the Family completed a two-year process
developing a provincial suicide awareness and intervention
program, suitable for late intermediate and graduation
levels (grades 8-12). Based on recent academic literature
and a review of suicide education programs, Let's Live!
was developed to link to the provincially mandated learnerfocused curriculum. Inservice training sessions were held
throughout the province and the schools began implementing the program.
Preliminary evaluation of schools who have implemented the Let's Live! program indicate that students are

EXAMINING AGENCY AND SERVICE PROVIDER
VALUE ASSUMPTIONS TOWARD FAMILIES AND
THEIR IMPACT ON SERVICE.
Sue LeTourneau, MELD, 123 N. 3rd St.,
Minneapolis, MN 55402-1625.
Ethical and value assumptions about families and
parents dictate the format and tenor of support services and
the approach of family professionals to the people they
serve. These philosophical values not only govern the
participant/provider relationship. They affect programming
at every level. Training methods and staff supervision
should minor the association between the service providers
and target population.
The MELD model of information and support groups
for parents rests on the fundamental assumption that there
is no one right way to raise a child and that when the best
information is presented in a supportive group environment, parents can make their own best decisions for their
children and themselves. Although MELD does not have a
prescribed set of values which it hopes to impart, the model
is hardly value-free.
This workshop is designed as an experiential learning
opportunity designed to help family life professionals explore their own values and those of their agency. Using
principles of empowerment as an example, participants will
look at how a value system impacts the full spectrum of
programming.
Participants will: 1) examine their own values and
assumptions about the families they serve. Through learning activities from the MELD curriculum, participants will
assess how these assumptions affect their interaction with
families and explore what happens when these values
conflict; 2) consider the user/service provider relationship
both home visitor and group based through activities and
examples; 3) weigh the potential impact of aligning various
forces in the community around values of family empowerment, promoting systems change in the way services for
families are delivered.

Lynette J. Olson, CFLE, South Dakota State Univ.,
NHE 239, Box 2275A, Brookings, SD 57007.
Work-family problems are generally understood by
individuals today as a primary source of stress and strain.
Businesses, however, are slow to recognize and respond to
employee work and family concerns. For businesses to
change, attitudes must change. Businesses and employees
alike need support in managing challenges work and family
provide.
A series of seven publications were developed for
distribution at the work place addressing areas of stress and
strain for employed parents. Cooperative Extension field
staff contacted employers to locate distribution centers in
high traffic areas. A postcard evaluation was included in
the last publication of the series. Employee impact is reported through change attributed to these educational materials. Employer impact is indicated through dialogue and
followup.
The primary purpose of this project has been to
provide research-based information to encourage development of management skills among employed parents. A
secondary purpose is to stimulate dialogue with employers
concerning work-family issues.

Connie Steele, Dept. of Child & Fam. Stud., Coli. of
Human Ecology, Univ. of TN, Knoxville, TN 37996-1900.
The family, a subsystem of society, can best be understood as a system. A healthy family system is able to
change. Family members support or do not support each
other as the system accommodates to new data.
Can "family system" model ideas be transferred as
means for integrated and multidisciplinary approaches to
learning in large Univ. classrooms? Even though classrooms are organized as systems with a faculty in charge,
Col. students have traditionally learned to perform tasks
individually, that there is little value in helping others, that
faculty are responsible for providing both questions and
answers as well as motivation and students' success.
It will show how one core-course section of 150
students has functioned as a system organized in 36 committees having many of the characteristics of a "family
system." Each foursome identified a problem relevant to all
(problem-finding for the committee); these problems centered on family issues. Committees (as in families) determined one or more alternatives for solving the one problem, using critical-thinking skills.

This study; 1) investigates D.E. husbands' sense of
fairness in the domestic realm and 2) assesses the impact of
an intervention program for D.E. couples on that sense of
fairness. Data were gathered as part of an intervention program intended to help dual earners share family work (N =
23 couples). All participants completed questionnaires,
were videotaped and interviewed before, after and six
months following participating in the program. Qualitative
analysis revealed four major themes and two educational
inputs effective in changing husbands' definition of what is
just. 1) Husband's see providing as their primary obligation. 2) Husbands see their helping activities as "gifts"
offered lovingly to their families. 3) Husbands compare
themselves to other men and this helps explain their sense
that they are doing their fair share. 4) Husband's have great
difficulty seeing responsibility for family work as an
important concept. The intervention program acted as a

IS THAT FAIR? VIEWS OF THE DIVISION OF HOUSEWORK.
Beth Anne Shelton and Kristen Luschen, Dep't. of
Sociology, SUNY-Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, 14260.
With data from the National Survey of Families and
Households we examine men's and women's views of the
fairness of the division of household labor. We evaluate the
impact of the division of household labor, husband's household labor time, attitudes about how household labor
should be distributed, and attitudes toward housework itself
on perceptions of fairness.
Using Multiple Classification Analysis we find that
both women's and men's perceptions of the fairness of the
division of household labor are affected by the actual division of housework, but that women's interest in housework,
their attitudes about how it should be divided and their husband's absolute time investment in housework also affect
their perceptions of fairness.

CHILD GENDER AND DIVISION OF DOMESTIC

Rebecca L. Warner, Dept. of Sociology, Corvallis,

Louisiana State Univ., Baton Rouge, LA 70803.
Recent research in Canadian and American cities suggests that there may be cultural variation in the impact of
child gender on family life, at least for men. This study
uses nationally representative samples from two countries
(Canada and the U.S.) to explore the relationship between
child gender and division of household labor. Data come
from Wright's (1990) "Comparative Project on Class
Structure and Class Consciousness" study. We find that
child gender plays less of a role in the division of household labor (childcare, meals, laundry, shopping, housework) than the number of children in the household, or
variables associated with labor market activity. We suggest
that the differences between our findings and previous research may be partially due to methodological issues associated with the availability of measures across different data
sets.

Data were collected from randomly selected couples
listed in U.S. phonebooks using a two-page questionnaire.
A response rate of 47% was obtained through telephone
interviews and mailed surveys. Employed women (N =
274) and men (N = 296) were compared by the time they
devoted to traditional "female" tasks. Correlations between
women's' perceptions of family conflict and the time devoted to household tasks were significant. Lower levels of
satisfaction with the division of household labor and time
spent on tasks was also significant. Full-time working women did twice as much household labor and perceived
more conflicts but were more dissatisfied with the division
of labor than men. Stepwise multiple regressions showed
that dissatisfaction and the number of household members
best predicted the number of conflicts over the household
division of labor among women. Among men, conflicts
were best predicted by lower satisfaction, number in the
household, and the time their spouses spent on traditional
"female" household tasks. Women conflict with their
families over inequities.

AN EXAMINATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
FAMILY OF ORIGIN DIFFERENTIATION AND CURRENT PERSONAL AND MARITAL ADJUSTMENT IN
MIDDLE AGED ADULTS.
Cecilia M. Forgione and Ronald M. Sabatelli, Sch. of
Family Studies, U. ofCT, Storrs, CT 06269.
Despite the fact that intergenerational perspectives on
individual/family development have gained widespread acceptance among family therapists, they have seldom been
empirically examined. The goal of this project is to systematically study the relationship between middle aged adults'
perceptions of how they were parented (i.e., family of origin differentiation) and current personal and marital adjustment. Data were collected on 216 middle aged parents (included are 83 couples). Results support the hypotheses that
poorer functioning in one's family of origin is negatively
associated with both personal and marital adjustment. Additionally, support was generated for the hypothesis that
one's family of origin functioning AND one's psychosocial
adjustment are related to marital adjustment. In an exploratory analysis, support was found indicating that the wives'
family of origin experiences and psychosocial maturity are
related to husbands' marital adjustment. Interestingly, husbands' experiences were not related to wives' marital
adjustment.

reasons other than divorce, abuse, and cheating. Using ordinary least squares regression, we test three models: factors which propel men into combat also make them poor
maniage material, combat intensifies earlier characteristics
which then negatively affect marriages, combat causes
problems such as post-traumatic stress syndrome or
antisocial behavior which increase marital adversity. We
find that combat continues to lead to increasing marital
adversity even when relevant background characteristics
(age, race, intelligence, Sch. problems, early emotional
problems, age at military entry, and date of Vietnam service) are controlled. Path models show that while the path
from combat to marital adversity may pass through posttraumatic stress symptoms it must pass through antisocial
behavior. Combat interacts with earlier characteristics to
predict the mediating adult variables. We conclude that
combat affects marriages by increasing adult antisocial
behavior either directly or indirectly through post-traumatic
stress symptoms.

BIRTH AND CHANGE IN MARITAL-ROLE QUALITY
Joseph H. Pleck, Center for Research on Women,
Rosalind C. Barnett, Center for Research on Women,
Wellesley Col., Wellesley, MA 02181.
This comparative longitudinal investigation estimates
the association between birth and change in marital-role
quality in the first postnatal year. In addition, the role of
perceived housework inequity in the association between
birth and marital-role quality is examined. Our analysis
uses hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), a procedure with
particular advantages in the study of time-varying covariates at both the individual and couple levels, and that in
addition takes into account the paired nature of couple data
as well as measurement error. In our three-wave longitudinal dataset including 264 predominantly White and
middle-class dual-earner couples, 72 had births during the
three-year period studied, including 36 first births.
In the dual-earner couples studied, the occurrence of
any birth is associated with an average decline of about a
quarter of a standard deviation in marital-role quality
during the first postnatal year. However, marital-role
quality improves with the passage of time following a birth,
canceling out the overall birth effect by one year after the
64
birth, on average. The decrement in marital-role quality
associated with birth is generic to any birth, and is not
greater with first births. The birth effect is also not differentially greater in mothers compared to fathers. Changes in
the perceived equity of the division of housework associated with birth do not appear to be implicated in the association between birth and marital adjustment, but our analysis was not able to assess the potential role of perceived
inequity in the division of child care.

DETERMINANTS OF MARITAL SATISFACTION.
Patricia Noller and Judith A. Feeney, Dept. of Psych.,
Univ. of Queensland, QLD, 4072, Australia.
On the basis of Lewis and Spanier's (1979) model of
marital quality, we developed a 38-item questionnaire, derived from the 38 propositions relevant to the section of the
model labeled "Rewards from spousal interaction." Each
item consisted of two parts. Part 1 assessed the extent to
which the particular proposition was true for subjects' own
marital relationship, whereas Part 2, assessed how important they thought each proposition was to marriage. Subjects for the study were 379 married individuals. Factor
analyses were carried out separately on each set of items.
For the items describing the current relationship, three
factors were obtained: Intimacy, Respect/Equality and
Compatibility. All three factors were highly correlated with
scores on the Quality Marriage Index. Years married was
correlated only weakly with the Intimacy factor. For the
importance items, two factors were obtained: Importance
of Communication and Importance of Compatibility. These
two factors were only weakly conelated with the Quality
Marriage Index. Females reported more Respect/Equality
than did males and also emphasized the importance of
communication more than males. Overall, the results
suggest that the variables selected by Lewis and Spanier
are key determinants of marital quality.

Discussant: James E. Deal, ND State Univ.
The link between the individual and the family provides a valuable clue to understanding both individual development and family systems. The papers in this symposium present three novel approaches that explore this link.
The first paper advances a reconceptualization of men's
involvement in child care from a developmental perspective rather than the conventional social-structural perspective. The second paper presents findings about the underlying structure of individual's reports of family functioning
through factor analytic techniques using the family as the
unit of analysis. The third paper departs from conventional
models of child vulnerability by presenting a study that addresses the influence of adolescent factors and parental
characteristics on parental functioning. The ideas advanced
in this symposium and the growing literature on the individual-family interface provide the basis for a synthesis
aimed at advancing theory and suggesting new paths for
research.

This paper projects notable Work/Family trends into
the 21st Century and looks at creative opportunities for a
more optimistic Work/Family interface. Data were gathered
by interviewing several prominent Work/Family experts
and merging their thoughts with published demographic
projections and the speculation of other published futurists.
Proceedings
The paper begins with a case study that brings to life a
dual-career couple from the year 2011. Next it introduces a
multi-level framework of interacting work and family contexts to categorize trends and opportunities for the future.
The paper then identifies the key trends of the next two
decades for both the work and family realms. The paper
concludes with two significant Work/Family opportunities
suggested by these trends: (1) the flexible work environment provides a real opportunity for greater productivity in
the workplace as well as less stress in the family; and (2)
the growing opportunity for gender equity both in the
workplace and in the home.

THE EFFECTS OF WORK SCHEDULES ON MARITAL
SATISFA CT!ON.
Robert C. Tuttle, Dept. of Soc., Wilkes Univ.,
Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766.
The National Survey of Families and Households is
used to examine the effects of shift work on marital
satisfaction. The results (N = 3288) indicate that the
presence of a shift worker is associated with lower marital
satisfaction for the couple. Other factors found to lower
marital satisfaction based on the multivariate analysis
include: longer work hours for both spouses; being nonwhite; having responsibility for a dependent adult; having a
larger family size; and having a pre-school age child
present. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Diverse findings about the nature and extent of company work-family policies are summarized. While policies
have increased, they remain limited. The paper then differentiates "work-family-friendly" from "family-friendly,"
points to "family-harmful" corporate actions, compares
European and U.S. policies, and discusses the value and

VALUE CONFLICTS IN RESEARCH ON FAMILYRESPONSIVE POLICIES IN THE WORKPLACE: SOME
SKEPTICISM AND SOME EVIDENCE.
Susan J. Lambert, Sch. of Soc. Serv. Adm., Univ. of
Chicago, 969 E. 60th St., Chicago, IL 60637.
Although studies indicate that workers appreciate
policies such as flextime and employer-supported child
care, there is little research on whether such policies
actually help workers balance work and family responsi-
65
�bilities in a way that supports individual and family wellbeing. Discussion seldom focuses on whether workplace
supports are easily accessible, are fairly distributed, and
actually promote the welfare of workers and their families.
Instead, discussion concentrates on convincing business
leaders that family-responsive policies make good business
sense.
In this paper, I will examine the conflicting values
guiding research on family-responsive policies. I will also
discuss how I tried to strike a balance between these conflicting values in a recent study of workers at Fel-Pro, Inc.
(N = 599) by focusing on those aspects of work performance shown to be good for both employees and employers. I will present findings on the link between workers' use
and appreciation of family-responsive policies and their
support for and participation in total quality initiatives, and
organizational change more generally.

examine the empirical literature on stepfamilies and
emphasize the common findings across studies.
The marital relationship, the stepparent role and
effective stepparenting behaviors, and the effects of
remarriage on children will be the primary focus of the

Among the stages of Adult Development the most
neglected is an understanding ofthe last segment ofthe .
middle years, the stage of adult development between 5065. This is the report on a project entitled "How to Enjoy
Being a Golden Girl." It was designed to study women
between 50-65 through a number of surveys. These included a life problem checklist, a change of perspective questionnaire, an interest survey, a "how do you structure time"
survey, a "Plan for the Future," and an anticipated problem
survey.
Data from the surveys was the basis for designing a
program to deal with the issues emerging. There was an .
initial three session program, and then an advanced nine
session program.
There were 130 women in ten person groups in the
training. Specifics of the survey data and the training
sessions will be presented. The evaluations indicated the
women found the program very helpful in that they felt

Family work continues to be of great interest to family scholars. Most past research treats its allocation as a
fixed characteristic of families. However, there is a growing recognition that the allocation and performance of family work may depend on factors more dynamic in nature.
This symposium will present the results of an intensive
study of young married couples in which family work is
addressed as a dynamically negotiated process arising in an
interpersonal context. Central to this are two drivers: standards (criteria defining adequate performance) and stress
(the subjective experience of tension or overload). Stress is
conceptualized as a motivator of change and standards
define where (and how much) change is likely to occur.
The papers presented in this symposium will use
extensive surveys, daily logs, and in-depth interviews to
examine the effects of standards and stress, separately and
jointly, as well as the use of management strategies and
conflict, on daily participation in 6 time intensive tasks.

FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION FOR STEP FAMILIES:
TOWARD A MORE POSITIVE VIEW.
Nancy Ahlander, Family Studies, Brigham Young
Univ., Provo, UT 84602.
Since the stepfamily is projected to become the predominant family form in the United States by the year
2,000, it is imperative that family life educators become
informed about stepfamily functioning. However, when
family life educators draw on recommendations made by
clinicians, a negative view of stepfamily functioning is
likely to be the result. Recent research either does not
support this negative view, or specifically contradicts it.
This presentation addresses current research on stepfamilies with specific attention to successful stepfamily
67
�functioning.
Drawing on recent scholarly studies of stepfamilies,
suggestions for ways to correct the myths peqJetuated by
the clinical view of stepfamilies are proposed. Literature
highlighting stepfamily strengths will be delineated. Suggestions for alternative conceptualizations of stepfamily
relationships are drawn from comparison to in-law relations and also close friendships. Included in the presentation is an annotated bibliography of current research on
stepfamilies which support the assertions of the
presentation.

The quantity and quality of current maniage and family textbook content on remarriage and stepfamilies was
examined and compared to a similar study published in
Family Relations in 1984. Major themes were identified
through content analysis techniques. Frequency of citations

Data was collected from grandmothers who are currently raising their grandchild(ren) (N =59). Each grandmother completed a questionnaire designed to investigate
how the grandparent-grandchild(ren) family came to be.
The questionnaire further investigated intrapersonal conflicts, changes in lifestyle and challenges associated with
raising grandchildren. Findings revealed that grandparents
find themselves parenting grandchildren for a variety of
reasons, almost an equal number of grandparents have formal and informal custody anangements, none of the six
variables investigated significantly influenced the decision
to parent grandchildren and few grandmothers seek out organized support groups. The findings reveal that grandparents accept responsibility for parenting their grandchild(ren) without much thought about the impact on the
68
grandparent family unit. It is assumed that grandparents are
willing and able to physically, financially, and emotionally
support their grandchildren. Implications for family practitioners, family educators and policy makers include

CHILDREN IN STEP FAMILIES AND THEIR
GRANDPARENTS: AN ENHANCED RELATIONSHIP.
Gregory E. Kennedy, Fam. Stud./Human Dev.,
Human Envi. Sci., Central Mo. St. Univ., Warrensburg,
MO 64093.
Responses to measures of relationship quality and
range of activity with their grandparents by young adult
grandchildren from stepfamilies (n =55) were different
from responses of young adult grandchildren from singleparent (n =70) and intact families (n = 266). Analysis of
variance comparisons revealed significant differences with
grandchildren from intact families having the lowest
scores, grandchildren from single-parent families in the
middle, and those from stepfamilies highest. While crosssectional data cannot demonstrate cause and effect, a possible implication from the data is that with divorce the
child's relationship becomes closer with at least one grandparent as is manifest by higher scores for those from singleparent families. In turn, the even higher scores by grandchildren from stepfamilies suggest that following the
child's move from single-parent family to stepfamily life,
the relationship with the grandparent takes on increasing
importance. Descriptive insight concerning the distinctive
characteristics of grandparent/grandchild relationships in
different family forms is provided by ratings of 29 reasons
for closeness and 29 shared activities.

Despite the fact that the number of noncustodial
mothers is increasing, we know very little about the experience of these women. This study sought to gain a greater
understanding of this growing number of women by examining issues surrounding the decision to relinquish custody
and exploring their postdivorce relationships with their former spouses and children. Feminism provides a meaningful
theoretical context from which to conceptualize the experience of mothers without custody given their invisibility
and nonnormative status. Qualitative and quantitative interview data collected from 13 noncustodial mothers granted
divorces in southwestern Virginia between 1986 and 1992
was analyzed. Results highlighting mothers' perceived lack
of choice in the decision to relinquish custody, inadequate

Sally Gillman-Hanz, & Maureen Perry-Jenkins,
Univ. of Illinois, Urbana, Il 61801.
The goal of this research was to examine which aspects of the single-mother's work environment and her
family environment were related to her well-being. A
second goal was to examine how mothers' work experiences were linked to children's assessment of their family
environment. Data were collected from 55 working-class,
single mothers and their 8- to 12-year-old children. Work
environment, family environment and well-being were
assessed through open-ended and structured questionnaires. Results indicated that various aspects of work and
family life were related to mothers' well-being. Aspects of
work, family life, and mothers' well-being, however, were
not related to children's reports of family life. Subsequent
analyses will examine mothers' parenting as a possible
mediator between work and children's perceptions of the
family.

SINGLE PARENTS: INVOLVEMENT IN CHILDREN'S
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
Aphra R. Katzev, Dept. of Human Dev. & Family
Studies, Oregon State Univ., Corvallis, OR 97331.
Past research indicates that teachers may hold
negative stereotypes about the level of parental commitment when children are being raised in one-parent
homes. Using a person-process-context model and data
from the 1987-88 National Survey of Families and Households, factors relating to parental involvement in Sch.
organizations and activities are examined.
Regardless of family type, mothers are more likely to
be involved in children's elementary Sch.s than fathers. No
significant differences were found for family type in general. Mothers in one-parent homes are as likely to be involved as mothers in two-parent homes, however the odds
for participation increase for black single mothers. Spending time with children at home increases the odds that both
mothers and fathers will participate in schools activities.
For mothers only, individual characteristics (age, education), family context (number of children, part-time employment) and family processes (parenting satisfaction,
social support) also increase the odds of participation in
school organizations and activities.

Calls for family therapists to direct greater attention
toward the establishment of "family strengths," "family
competencies," and the like coexist with recent efforts to
establish such linkages between prevention and intervention efforts in work with adolescents and their families.
One of the more promising aspects of this work involves
the utilization of the concept of the "rite of passage."
Building on established work with the rite of passage
concept in both the prevention and family therapy literatures, this didactic seminar will report on the ongoing
development and implementation of the Growing Up

�The clinical literature indicates that most survivors of
incest consider confronting the perpetrator(s). While disclosure of childhood incest is commonly seen as an important part of healing, much discrepancy exists in the clinical
views of confrontation. Some clinicians advocate that direct confrontation be avoided. Others insist that some confrontation must occur to empower the survivors. Still others
take a middle-of-the-road approach, leaving it to the survivor to choose.
Our workshop will focus on the therapeutic value of
confrontation, contraindications for confrontation, therapeutic techniques to prepare a survivor for confrontation,
and case management of the possible positive and negative
effects of confrontation. Results of our Incest Perpetrator
Confrontation Research Project, as well as our clinical
experiences, guide the interventions demonstrated.

Clinical illustrations will be presented reflecting the components of healthy human attachment and the relational
consequences for self and family esteem. Attachment styles
will be identified and case material will illustrate these
styles and how they contribute to the relational difficulties
that couples and families experience. Participants will be
exposed to clinical materials demonstrating how attachment styles become reflected in relational and communication styles, sexual behavior, addictive behavior,
boundary issues, and grief reactions throughout the life
cycle. Illustrative clinical material will also demonstrate
the isomorphic nature of various attachment styles in the
therapeutic context. Systemic, diagnostic and treatment
implications will be outlined as well as supervisory issues
and the stages of supervision reflective of this relationalattachment model.

Patricia Langley, Consultant, 2515 N. Utah St.,

Family scholars and practitioners concerned about
families and community well-being need to organize their
influence in order to encourage systemic changes now
emerging in American culture. A number of important
efforts are underway across the country in both state
capiitols and local communities. Family disintegration, as
reflected in recent headlines, demographic studies and
family-centered research all point to the need to "reinvent
our institutions" and to make them capable of familycentered behavior. American society cannot allow the
increasing incidents of social disintegration to continuethese will spread unless steps are taken to reinvent our
social infrastructure.
Throughout American society today, in government,
in the workplace, in social services and in many key
American institutions, there is a new awareness about the
need for (and lack-of) family-friendly policies. American
history has fostered a pattern of individually-centered
public and private policies and institutional behaviors that
worked well in less complicated times. Now we face a
crisis in confidence in the American way of life and the
values that have sustained its unique culture.

This study examines the relation of marital communication and couple relational styles to marital adjustment.
The impact of participation in maniage preparation courses
on marital adjustment was of primary interest. 32 couples
who attended marriage preparation and 15 couples who
had not composed the sample. All participants filled out a
demographic questionnaire, Spanier's (1976) Dyadic Adjustment Scale and Fitzpatrick's (1988) Relational Dimensions Instrument. Maniage preparation couples responded:
higher levels of marital satisfaction, consensus, and overall

couples, the sharing of feelings contributed positively to
marital adjustment, while aggressive verbal styles had a
negative influence. Implications for program development
are offered.

EDUCATIONAL INTERVENTION STRATEGIES IN
INTERGENERATIONAL VALUE SHARING BETWEEN
YOUNG ADULT COL. STUDENTS AND SENIOR GUEST
STUDENTS.
L. K. Fowler, Family Studies and Gerontology, Kent
State Univ., Kent, OH 44242-0001.
Intergenerational programs can meet the needs of old
and young adults together by giving both generations a
sense of the continuity and individuality in lifespan development (Newman and Brummel, 1989). The intergenerational program described in this presentation was based
upon the hypothesis that the unique experiences of each
generation can provide a forum for shared discussions of
valuing and ethical decision-making within the context of
diverse political, social, economic and historical
circumstances.
The planning and organization of this program was
based upon criteria found to be important to successful
intergenerational sharing programs: clear goals and objectives, ongoing evaluation procedures, collaboration between systems representing old and young adult participants and sensitivity to the needs and expectations of
participants (Henkin and Newman, 1985). Challenges for
intergenerational research in the 1990's that were considered by the present author include:
1) the need for evalu-ation of strategies that prepare
future human service profes-sionals in skills required for
work in intergenerational settings where cohort values may
differ (Seefeldt, 1985);
2) the need to provide for academic sponsorship for
college students to gain clinical practice or field experience
in intergenerational settings that evaluate interventions and
outcomes (Newman and Brummel, 1989).
This presentation is an 18 month follow-up summary
describing the implementation and evaluation of 3 educational strategies designed to promote appreciation of diversity and understanding of similarities and differences in
values between Senior Guest Students and young adult Col.
students in a Univ.-sponsored intergenerational sharing
program (Dellmann-Jenkins, Fowler, Fruit, Brahce, 1992).
Qualitative data including personal journals, discussion summaries, evaluation forms, and interview logs were
collected from young adult Col. students majoring in Family Studies or Gerontology. Educational intervention
strategies included:
1) Bimonthly generational sharing seminars consist-
Proceedings
ing of presentations by professionals on topics related to
lifespan decisions followed by guided group discussions
between young and old adult student participants.
2) Individual interviews of young and old adults
conducted and evaluated by young adult college students.
3) Persuasive research paper presentations by young
adult students with discussion and reaction from peers and
Senior Guest Students.
Descriptive analysis and summary of findings
describe the qualitative perceptions of young adult Col.
student to each of the 3 intervention strategies:
1) Need to develop communication skills conducive
to generational sharing.
2) Recognition of cohort differences in experience
based upon era individual has experienced.
3) Acknowledgement of impact of past personal
experience with family, friends, others upon respondents'
perspective of aging.
4) Impact of program upon personal or professional
goals in future human service work.
5) Importance of planned, supervised, consistent and
intimate contact between generations.
Implications of these findings and other qualitative
data are presented and should prove insightful to family
life educators, community program planners, university
faculty and administrators in developing educational
intervention strategies that promote successful appreciation
of value-sharing between generations.

Data were collected from childcare providers for 8
centers serving ages 0 to 5 (n = 33). Questionnaires measured attitudes, preparation, & perceptions of parental approval of appropriate practices in sex. ed. 14 sexuality
content areas were assessed by respondents. Self pleasuring/masturbation, Nudity, It takes a man & a woman to
have a baby, & How babies are born, emerged in more
childcare provider choices of least appropriate sex topics.
More respondents identified the same topics as those for
which parents would be uncomfortable. More respondents
identified Self pleasuring/masturbation, Nudity, It takes a
man & a woman to make a baby as least prepared to teach.
50% of the respondents had no training in sexed. On sexuality policy, 32% had a center sexuality policy, 56% had
no center policy, and 12% did not know of a center policy.
Ethical issues include: 1) Teaching sex. ed. without train-

FUNDAMENTAL ASSUMPTIONS OF SEX EDUCATION
PROGRAMS: WHAT WE ARE TEACHING CHILDREN
ABOUT THE MEANING OF SEXUALITY.
C. Everett Bailey, Dept. of Child Dev. & Fam Stud.,
Purdue Univ., West Lafayette, IN 47907.
The debate over abstinence-based and contraceptivebased sex education programs has been cast as a discussion
over the effectiveness of preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including AIDS. However,
the philosophical underpinnings of both approaches has
largely gone unexamined. Such an analysis has great implications for the meaning that we give to sexual relationships
and the resulting morality. This paper examines the common philosophical assumptions that both current approaches to sex education make by reviewing different state and
Sch. district guidelines for sex education curricula and
some sex education programs. This review indicates that
sex education programs have focused on sexuality as mainly a health issue to the exclusion of sexuality as a moral
issue. The resulting implications of this focus for the meaning of sexuality are that sex is fundamentally hedonistic
and individualistic rather than an expression of
commitment to others and the family.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR PARENTING EDUCATION
WITH NORTHERN ARAPAHOES.
Duncan Perrote, U ofWy Wind River Extension, Ft.
Washakie, WY.
When teaching a parent education class to a Northern
Arapahoe population there are some important considerations: unilateral dialogue, such as information from
experts, may be detrimental, destructive and, at the very
least, simply not useful. Vital to the success of parent education programs is the ability to be culturally sensitive.
This is done by 1) creating a foundation of trust, 2) the
willingness to be a student of culture, and 3) maintain an
atmosphere of no blame and no judgement. In this way, it
becomes possible to collaborate with clientele in creating
visions and goals for the future with each group member
contributing different paths to the same goal.

Univ., DeKalb, IL 60115.
The study's purposes were to examine overall benefits of out-of-classroom experiences and differences/similarities between graduating seniors and newly admitted
students in two family science majors on variables related
to professional development. Family Social Service (FSS)
majors, of whom volunteer work and an internship are
required, at time of admission were more career-focused
than Family and Individual Development (FID) majors;
this difference was strengthened by the FSS major, which
includes more pre-professional course work, so FSS majors
saw classes as more beneficial.

THE GENDERING OF FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION
PROGRAMS: A HIDDEN CURRICULUM OF INEQUITY.
Richard P. Fairbanks. Faculty of Education, Univ. of
British Columbia, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Jane Thomas,
Vancouver Sch. Board, Vancouver, BC V6J 1Z8.
During the past two decades, research devoted to
gender in education has underscored the need to create
gender equitable programs. Although some recent work in
family life education (FLE) has considered content in
relation to gender, few have studied the specific manifestations of gender in family life education programs and
practices.
This paper presents the findings of a curriculum
materials analysis which examined the implicit images of
males and females in selected FLE programs. The analysis
revealed that, for the most part, females were portrayed in
terms of relationships and reproductivity while males were
depicted in terms of control, dominance and aggression.
These findings raise questions about the extent to which
FLE may reflect a "hidden curriculum" which perpetuates
gender stereotypes and gender inequity. Implications for
family life education program developers are presented.
graduate marriage course completed a project with a selfselected partner from the class (N = 162). Projects assigned
were a marriage topic study, nonfiction book report, journal reports or marriage poster. Findings indicated the projects did accomplish the goals; factors identified were
partner selection, setting goals, defining duties, managing
resources, compromising, readiness for marriage and
flexibility. The functioning of pairs varied; many developed cooperative friendships while some requested a
"divorce." Satisfaction with types of projects differed.
Experiential involvement in coursework can yield different
outcomes than curricula which treats students as passive
receivers of knowledge; differences in expectations, values
and communication become more readily apparent through
cooperative, active learning assignments.

The concept of values is explicitly present in many

not always consistent across theories. The purpose of this

�ways and at many different levels of analysis. Examples are
drawn from the psychological, social, psychological, and
family literature to illustrate the contrast in use of the concept of values. There is a need to illustrate differences in
how the term "value" is defined and utilized in the multidisciplinary body of literature from which research and
theory in family science draws. Underscoring the lack of
clarity surrounding the use of the concept of values will be
a starting point for the appropriate distinction and integration of the term value across system levels of analysis. This
will also guard against the confusion over values and other
related concepts such as attitudes and norms.

A REFLEXIVE EXAMINATION OF THE NATURE OF
HUMAN COMMUNICATION IN THE FAMILY SETTING.
Eleanore Vaines, Sch. of Family & Nutritional
Sciences, Univ. of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
V6T 1Z4.
A reflexive examination of 3 sets of selected materials, was conducted: a science perspective, a lifeworld
orientation & personal narratives. Themes emerged as three
dominate metaphors: "home as factory," "home as interrelationships," "home as moral center." The metaphor
which dominated the materials examined was "home as
factory" which set the tone and the stage for the other two
metaphors. The most neglected was "home as moral
center." A balance of metaphors was rarely found. To
describe and explain healthy communication patterns in
nonpathological families, many ways of knowing can better
facilitate a more complete understanding of the everyday
life of families and thus inform curriculum development,
research questions, and policy formation.

60 years and over. Predictor variables examined are sociodemographic variables, personality variables (Extraversion,
Neuroticism) and Activity of Roles. The analysis was conducted separately for the two groups (elderly men with role
loss, elderly men without role loss). Activity of Roles

Eight women were interviewed in the conduct of a
grounded theory study of how women make a decision
regarding infant feeding. Conceptual categories which
emerged revealed that the process of decision making in
infant feeding is complex. Health care professionals must
examine their own prejudices and actively work with families to provide useful information. Knowledge of a family's viewpoint and the social context in which the family
lives are essential for any health care professional interested in assisting a family in decision making.

Tech Univ., Lubbock, TX 79400.
The purpose of this study was to use a family therapy
perspective to study marital power. Self-administered surveys were completed by employees (n = 436) of a
Southwestern university in order to determine the
relationship between key family-of-origin variables and
marital interaction styles that reflect power equality/
inequality. On the whole, the results revealed support for
the hypotheses indicating that individuals who reported
power equality in their marriages also reported higher
scores on family-of-origin measures than those individuals
who reported power inequality. In addition, those
individuals with higher scores on the family-of-origin
measures re-ported more cognitive complexity than
individuals with lower scores on the family-of-origin
measures. Overall, this study found significant associations
between intergenerational dynamics and marital power
dynamics. It also examined power in a way that
incorporated more "micro level" communication issues that
are more central to women's concerns as opposed to solely
utilizing traditional "macro-level" power measures.

discourage risk behaviors that lead to AIDS and describe
how families can develop positive coping strategies after
diagnosis of HIV infection. Risk factors and strengths of
Hispanic families are given to illustrate the use of the
model with ethnic families. Family professionals can help
by: (1) providing training and educational materials about
human sexuality and AIDS; (2) publicizing warning symptoms and the need for early detection and treatment; (3)
identifying and working with the family health expert to
support treatment compliance; (4) encouraging the use of
support groups; and (5) facilitating networking among

of each issue was moderately high for each type of couple.
Three issues (finances, household tasks, and lack of affection) appeared among the top-five conflictual issues for
each type of couple, reflecting a common theme of negotiation of power. However, the issue of friends was more
problematic for gay and lesbian couples whereas the issue
of parents was more problematic for heterosexual nonparent and parent couples, reflecting differences between
gay/lesbian and heterosexual couples in the sources of

CHILDREN'S EXPERIENCES IN FAMILY THERAPY.
Sandra M. Stith, Eric McCollum, Karen H. Rosen,
Jean U. Coleman, Stephanie A. Herman,VA Tech, Falls
Church, VA 22042.
While family therapists often include children in
therapy, they rarely consider the child's wishes regarding
participation nor ask children for their impressions of
therapy. In this study, 27 children between the ages of 7
and 12 who were participating in family therapy were
interviewed to determine their perspectives on the
experience.
Feedback from these children is used to help family
therapists develop specific ways to enhance effectiveness
with families with children. Preliminary results suggest that
children generally have strong reactions to family therapy,
and are most positive when they are made to feel that their
thoughts and opinions are valued.

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PRESENTING
PROBLEM AND PRE-TREATMENT CHANGE AND
PLANNED TERMINATION OF FAMILY THERAPY.
Scot M. Allgood, Dept. Family & Human Dev., Utah
State Univ., Logan, UT 84322-2905.
One of the tenets of brief family therapy is that
people who make pretreatment change meet their therapeutic goals and are lower risks to drop out of therapy.
Preliminary studies gave some support, but there is evidence that other variables may moderate the effect of pretreatment changes. Data were collected from all clients (N
= 201) who presented themselves for therapy at a marriage
and family therapy clinic during 1991. These clients
represented a variety of marital, family, and individual
problems. A member of each family unit answered the
questions on the pre-treatment questionnaire and a
demographic data sheet. Since all variables were categorical data, the most appropriate analysis was chi-square and
lambda. Results were nonsignificant for the association
between presenting problem and planned termination (X2
= 1=1.39, p > .05). The pretreatment change when compared with planned termination was significant (X2 = 8.28,
p > .05; lambda= .21). Since all of the clients who had
pretreatment changes (n =52) had different answers, the
data analysis has not been done on this variable while we
find an acceptable way to collapse the data. In its simplest
form it appears that clients who make changes before
therapy are low risks to prematurely terminate therapy
services. This type of information could aid therapy as the
therapist could then build on those changes which have
already occurred.

THE DANGEROUS NOTION OF RESPONSIBILITY.
Matvey S. Sokolovsky, Sch. of Family Studies, Univ.
of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06229.
The central precious idea of family therapy is seeing
a family as a unit, as a system, according to formula
1+ 1=3. The hardest thing to apply into practice is the ability to see family analytically standing on holistic world
view. The 1982 discussion in "Family Process" was about
the very possibility to uniting analytic and syncretic approaches to family therapy. According to Bowen's prediction, emotional discussion lead to sonorous statements,
nevertheless analytic-syncretic balance has been established. In my perception, today there is a tendency to dwell
on analytic part. It happens through the dangerous notion
of responsibility. Responsibility vs. free will, what you
should do vs. what you want to do, do vs. feel these are the
burning questions of family therapy theory today (and the
last European AFT Congress was called "Feelings and
Systems" ). I feel today we are creating a myth by which to
judge what is fair in family life, how to make family members equally involved, and how many dishes need to be
washed in order to compensate for one affair with a neighbor. I would prefer much more modest position remembering that if you follow well proved instructions of technology of sex the results would be impotence and frigidity.
CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE VICTIMIZATION AND

Ames, lA 50010.
Research on victims of child sexual abuse has not acknowledged the victimization of perpetrators who were
themselves sexually abused by family members and others
during their childhoods. Among the most severe manifestations of trauma associated with child sexual abuse are
suicidal behaviors. This present study compares the suicidal behaviors of 75 male and 65 female perpetrators who
were themselves victims of intrafamilial and/or extrafamilial sexual abuse during their childhoods. Results of
multiple regression analyses indicate that the younger the
age of the perpetrators when they first experienced sexual
abuse the greater the levels of suicide thoughts and attempts, and that female perpetrators have higher levels of
suicidal behaviors than male perpetrators. Interestingly,
severity/ intrusiveness of abuse does not seem to be related
to levels of suicidal behavior, nor does whether the abuse is
intra- or extrafamilial. Implications for therapists,
educators and policymakers are presented.

A SYSTEMIC FAMILY STRESS APPROACH TO
TREATING EXTRAFAMILIALLY SEXUALLY ABUSED
FEMALE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES.
Scott R. Woolley, Dept. of Human Development and
Family Studies, Texas Tech Univ., Lubbock, TX 79409.
A family treatment approach is presented that
emphasizes using the family to promote coping and longterm adjustment for female children who have been extrafamilially sexually abused. It is argued that extrafamilial
child sexual abuse is different from intrafamilial child sexual abuse, and consequently, a different treatment approach
is needed. Systems theory is proposed as a useful conceptual framework for the understanding and treatment of
extrafamilial sexual abuse, and a new definition of extrafamilial child sexual abuse based on systems theory is
proposed. An integration of systems theory, the family
stress and coping literature, and research on family
dynamics and long-term adjustment to child sexual abuse is
used to derive treatment and research suggestions.

THE RESPONSE OF CHILDREN TO VIOLENT DEATH:
COMPARATIVE CASE ANALYSIS OF TWO
NEIGHBORHOODS.
Greer Litton Fox, and Janelle VonBargen, Dept. of
Child & Family Studies, U of TN, Knoxville, TN 379961900.
How do children respond to violent death in their
near environments? Does a murder in the neighborhood
affect children's sense of personal safety, family security,
and their sense of the ordinariness of violence? To what
extent are the adults in their neighborhoods involved in
children's management of the experience? We use comparative case analysis of murders in two neighborhoods which
differ substantially by social class, dominant racial composition, and frequency of violent episodes in the neighborhood. Findings were that children suffer significant
trauma from violent death in their neighborhoods, that the
experience of trauma is not moderated by frequency of
violence episodes in the community and that adults can
foster stress management by children. We conclude that 1)
the impacts of violent death on children merit greater
attention, and 2) community-based educational outreach
with parent/adult caregivers about the cognitive and
affective aftermath of violence may be an efficient point of
intervention to service children's needs.

ULTERIOR MOTIVES IN THE REPORTING OF CHILD
ABUSE OR NEGLECT BY MOTHERS AND FATHERS.
Thorn Curtis, Dept. of Family & Human
Development, Utah State Univ., Logan, Utah 84322-2905.
When investigating cases of abuse or neglect, child
protective service workers often report that their jobs are
complicated by unfounded allegations involving children
who are the center of custody battles or whose parents are
undergoing a heated separation. This problem was analyzed using statewide data supplied by the Montana Dept. of
Family Services. Included in the data set were the records
of 12,616 reported incidents of abuse and neglect involving
10,476 children in the state of Montana during 1991.
Analysis indicated that fathers are more likely to allege
physical neglect and mothers are more likely to raise
allegations of sexual abuse. Analysis indicated that the
unsubstantiation rate for reports filed by mothers alleging
abuse by a parent did not differ significantly from that of
all reports. Father's reports were significantly less likely to
be substantiated in cases alleging physical abuse, emotional
abuse, physical neglect, or emotional neglect.

This study uses a grounded theory approach to the
collection and analysis of qualitative data provided by 20
adolescent and young adult women to determine intrapersonal, interpersonal and contextual factors that serve to
maintain violent dating relationships. The analysis of 70
hours of interview data determined that these women, who
were in fused relationships, became entrapped by powerful
seductive processes. Seductive processes identified included: romantic fantasies, system-maintaining coping
strategies, traumatic bonding, seesaw coupling, and peer/
family collusion. Implications for prevention and
intervention is discussed.
husband-wife relationship ranges from pleasant to violent.
Occasionally the violence assumes an acute form and damages the very fabric of their relations. Both the partners are
responsible for emotional disturbances resulting in mental
anguish which penetrates deeper and broader than even
physical torture. The study mainly concerns physical and
mental violence amongst spouses. For the interview schedule, 50 male and 50 female in the age group of 31-40 and
same numbers for age group of 41-50 were selected
through snow-ball technique from elite class in the metropolis of Bombay. The results show that females are worse
sufferers and besides physical violence, occunence of
mental torture like humiliation, sarcasm, taunt, avoidance
are present amongst elite. Data from different cultural,
educational and social background supports this view.

Gainesville, FL 32611. Linda Asmussen, American
Academy of Pediatrics, Elk Grove Village, IL 60009.
Four hundred and eighteen students at the Univ. of
Florida completed a self-report questionnaire that included
measures of attitudes toward sex among unmarried persons, sexual history, attitudes toward contraceptive use, and
sexual risk-taking. Findings reveal that 80% are sexually
experienced. The majority have had more than one sexual
partner. Many have engaged in (or indicate a willingness to
engage in) other types of risky behavior. Men, particularly,
seem to be placing themselves in jeopardy. Over one-third
report having had six or more partners, one-fourth had ten
or more. One-third say they are likely to have sex with a
person they meet for the first time at a party. [In fact, nearly
half reported that their first sexual partner was a stranger.]
Findings suggest that abstinence campaigns will not work
among Col.-aged populations and that gender-based educational messages and strategies need to be developed.

Dr. Rekha Gosalia, Private Practice, Bombay, India
Marriages are made in heaven, but at times spouses
turn them into hell. It is doubtful whether maniages actually are ever ideal. Observations and study prompt us to
conclude that spouse relations are mosaic in their nature.
Couples create certain delicate and touchy issues in which
conflict arises and at times leads to violence. Among the
issues which provoke conflict are sexual incompatibility,
jealousy, money matters, in-laws problems, etc. Thus

DYADIC SEXUAL MEANING SYSTEMS.
Catherine F. Lally, James W. Maddock, Fam. Soc.
Sci., Univ. ofMN, St. Paul, MN 55108.
This study applied Family Systems and Symbolic
Interaction theories to an examination of individual and
dyadic sexual meaning systems during engagement and
marriage. This study is important because it examined sexual meaning which is an understudied construct, employed
a longitudinal design, and included the couple as a unit of
analysis in addition to examining aggregate gender
differences.
77
�This project is a two-wave panel study with a
convenience sample of 102 couples who attended
premarriage classes in 1989 and agreed to participate in a
follow-up study in 1992. Measures included the Sexual
Meaning Survey, a 50-item semantic differential, Spanier's
Dyadic Adjustment Scale, and demographic variables. The
Sexual Meaning Survey was designed to measure the
connotative meaning associated with the term sex and
includes four scales (Appraisal, Intimacy, Significance, and
Arousal).
Statistical analyses included bivariate correlations
between the DAS and the four dimensions of sexual
meaning both within and across gender and waves. The
pattern of mean change in the sexual meaning scales over
time for husbands and wives were examined with repeated
measures MANOVA, and ordinary least squares regression

meaning on marital happiness.
pregnant adolescents. That is, adolescents with greater
resources have increased options available to them to abort
unplanned and unwanted pregnancies. To test this theory,
data from the 1988 National Survey of Family Growth
(NSFG) were utilized. Subject selection was based on age,
race, and self-reported sexual activity. Thus analyses were
conducted on three hundred and eighty-three nevermarried, pregnant, White adolescent females (aged 21
years and younger). Specific attention was given to identifying factors that distinguished the subjects by pregnancy
resolution, those who carried their first pregnancy to fullterm and kept the infant (N = 131) from those who initiated
induced abortions (N = 282).
Results indicated that the two groups differed on
demographics; parental sexuality socialization; sources of
contraception, information, and health care; contraceptive
use and knowledge; as well as social support.
Implications for educators, health practitioners, and
policymakers will be discussed.

SEX AS A METAPHOR . .. THE IMPACT OF
RELATIONSHIP VARIABLES ON COUPLE SEXUALITY.
Maria E. Merida, MFT Program, Steven M. Harris,
MFT Program, Dean M. Busby, MFT Program, Syracuse
Univ., Syracuse, NY 13244-1250.
Although many clinicians have argued that a systemic
outlook must be applied to couple's sex therapy, few empirical insights have been provided to address the
definition of a healthy sexual relationship. Other
relationship variables such as the role of extended family,
flexibility, openness, autonomy, and trust have also been
empirically neglected Data (n = 1,740) were analyzed to
address the effect of couple openness, couple autonomy,
and family of origin satisfaction on a couple's sexual life.
Two variables, couple's sexual attitudes and the couple's
desired frequency of sexual activity are influenced by the
above mentioned relationship variables. Openness and
autonomy are good predictors of sexual attitudes and
desired frequency of sexual relations in a relationship.
Therapists need to be aware that there is empirical support
for the therapeutic axiom which posits "sex is a metaphor
for the relationship." Implications for recognizing gender
differences in couple sex therapy are presented.

Data were collected from custodial mothers (who had
been separated or divorced for at least one year) (N = 135)
and their elementary-aged children (N = 135). The results
showed that less traditional sex-role ideology and internal
locus of control predicted beliefs that favored alternatives
to corporal punishment, reflected appropriate parent-child
roles empathy for children, and appropriate developmental
expectations. Less traditional sex-role ideology and internal locus of control also predicted the following childrearing behaviors: child acceptance versus child rejection,
and psychological autonomy versus psychological control.

Bowen's Intergenerational Family Theory was tested
in an examination of the influences of the family of origin
on the dating attitudes and practices of young adults.
Participants responded to a series of questions designed to
assess family of origin traits, individual anxiety, and communication in close, romantic relationships. Data were collected from 977 single/never married male and female Col.
students between the ages of 17 and 21, enrolled in behavioral science courses at four major universities. The sample
was primarily Caucasian (89%) with all other racial/ethnic
groups minimally (11% combined) represented. Bowen's
theory asserts that high levels of triangulation, fusion, and
control will negatively affect personal individuation and
consequently, negatively influence one's ability to develop
satisfying, intimate interpersonal relationships. The results
of the path analysis conducted statistically support that
Bowen's theory does hold true with respect to dating
attitudes and behaviors.

GENDER INFLUENCES ON PATTERNS OF RELATIONSHIP CLOSENESS AND QUALITY IN THREE
TYPES OF FRIENDSHIPS.

Fitzpatrick, Family & Child Dev., Auburn Univ., Auburn,
AL 36849-5604.
The influence of gender on relationship closeness and
quality in three types of friendships was examined. College
student pairs in opposite-sex friendships (N = 117), male
friendships (N = 61), and female friendships (N = 134)
completed Berschied, Snyder, and Omoto's Relationship
Closeness Inventory (RCI), which assessed the strength,
frequency, and diversity of daily interactions. Relationship
quality was assessed with Rubin's Loving and Liking
Scale, Miller, Berg, and Archer's Self-Disclosure Index,
and Hendrick's Relationship Satisfaction Scale. For all
three friendship types, closeness was associated with the
quality of relationships. Few gender differences were found
in relationship closeness. However, female friends were
consistently higher on loving, liking, self-disclosure, and
relationship satisfaction than male friends. Thus, even
though male and female friendships are similar on dimensions of closeness, relationship quality does vary as a result
of gender.

Univ. of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996.
The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive value of a model comprised of gender, marital communication, and variables indicative of stage of the family
life cycle for both spousal fusion/individuation and spousal
intimacy Further, the interrelationship of intimacy and individuation was also of interest; therefore, intimacy was also
included in the model tested for the prediction of individuation and individuation was included in the model tested
for the prediction of intimacy. Forty-eight dual-career couples with one to three children participated. Regression
analyses showed that the model was predictive of individuation and intimacy. Separate follow-up analyses for husbands and wives revealed that for females, a reduced model of communication only positively predicted both intimacy and individuation. For males, reduced models

State Univ., Corvallis, OR 97331.
Self-esteem encompasses feelings of self-worth and
self-efficacy, and is an important component of mental
health. Factors influencing self-esteem in married women
were assessed using a sample from The National Survey of
Families and Households (n = 2320). Independent variables included: physical health, education, marital satisfaction, income, presence of children in the household,
employment, age, and depression. Regression analysis
revealed that physical health, education, marital satisfaction, employment, and depression were significant
variables impacting self-esteem for this sample. Although
presence of children was not a significant variable in the
regression equation, children did affect self-esteem
negatively at the trend level (p = .07). Implications for
future research are presented.

Attitudes and expectations of women (n = 436), Univ.
students and their mothers (n = 436) concerning the women's future career and family roles were explored. Attitudes toward and expectations for career, parenting, and
marital roles were measured by scales (TAM, EAR, and
ERF scales) developed by the authors and subjected to factor analyses and the Lifestyle Preference Scale (Mash,
1978). Analyses included ANOVA's and Tukey tests.
Daughters were significantly less traditional in their attitudes toward mothering and more egalitarian in regard to
marital roles than mothers. Divorced mothers were significantly less traditional toward mothering and more egalitarian toward marital roles than still-married mothers. Implications for educators and family practitioners are

SOCIOHISTORICISM AND AFRICAN AMERICAN
WOMEN'S WORK: BEYOND THE RACE, CLASS, AND
GENDER PARADIGM.
Norma J. Burgess, Syracuse Univ., Syracuse, NY
13210.
Refining theoretical approaches to social and family
phenomenon requires careful analysis of existing frameworks which attempt to place women into an ethnocentric
model of explanation. This analysis highlights the importance of including an historical perspective on understanding the explicit place of work in the lives of middle
class African American women. Recent innovations in the
race class and gender argument have led the way in forcing
researching to consider these issues in formulating explanations about differences in labor force participation, social
psychological well-being, and support network strategies.
This research extends earlier work by Burgess and Horton
(1993), Phyllis Moen (1992), and Patricia Hill Collins
(1990) by incorporating an historical perspective on African American women in middle-class, professional and
managerial occupations.
The results show that these women overwhelmingly
expected to combine work and family as a reality more
often than their white counterparts. Additionally, early
parental expectations about future roles are evidenced
through career choices and mmTiage decisions. Historical
perspectives on work m·e included as a partial explanation
for differences in work orientation and survival strategies
used by the women.

Univ. of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742.
The goal of the present study is to identify parents'
decision making strategies for child care. The independent
and interactive effects of a range of child care attributes on
parents' decision making are modeled. To this end, parents
are presented with realistic child care scenarios which mirror the complexity of their actual decision environment.
The sample consists of 48 single mothers, 82 couples, and
23 married women whose husbands did not participate.
Individual subject analysis of vm·iance and Hay's omega
squared are used to assess the decision making strategy of
each parent. Initial analysis conducted with the entire sample indicate that child/staff ratio and cost are most important, accounting for 15% and 14% percent of the explained
variance in parents' decision making. Additional analyses
will be presented which address differences in decision
strategies for single and married women, husbands and
wives, and working and professional class parents.

father-child relationships are embedded marital relations,
work, and social support networks. 177 fathers responded
to a series of scales assessing the targeted social-contextual
dimensions and their own childrearing practices, role involvement, and role satisfaction. Step-wise multiple regression analyses revealed that significant proportions of variability in the quantity and quality of paternal functioning
were accounted for by marital, work, and social support
experiences. The social context of the father-child relationship constitutes an important influence on the parenting of
fathers.

PARENTING VERSUS RELEASING FOR ADOPTION:
CONSEQUENCES FOR ADOLESCENT MOTHERS.
Brenda W. Donnelly. Patricia Voydanoff, Ctr. for the
Study of Family Development, Univ. of Dayton, Dayton,
OH 45469-1445.
This study examines the consequences of parenting
versus releasing for adoption over a 24 month period following childbirth. Data were collected before the birth of
the baby and at three intervals post-partum concerning the
adolescents' satisfaction with their parenting decision,
socioeconomic status, mental health status, and subsequent
reproductive behaviors. After controlling for baseline
differences, the consequences of the parenting decisions
are investigated. Multivariate analyses indicate that releasers are somewhat more likely to express regret over
their parenting decision but there are no significant differences in depression or personal efficacy. The socio-economic status of releasers is seen to be higher than that of
those adolescents who choose to parent. Those who release
for adoption are less likely to be sexually active or experience a repeat pregnancy or birth than are those who parent. Higher socioeconomic status is seen to counteract the
negative relationship between releasing and satisfaction
with the parenting decision.

and child well-being. Biological parents, in contrast to
stepparents, reported that they showed more warmth, that
typical biological parents showed more wm·mth, and that
they should show more warmth. Further, there were
generally positive relations between parenting cognitions

were included in the questionnaire as well as questions to
determine respondents' beliefs about the importance of
family traditions in building strong families and of their
family traditions being observed and maintained by future
generations. Results show a significant positive correlation
between family traditions, family strengths, and family satisfaction. Spearman Rank Order Coefficients also indicated
significant positive relationships between the belief that
traditions are important to strong families and the number
of traditions observed, family strengths, and family satisfaction. Results indicate the importance of traditions in
building strong families and enhancing family satisfaction.

Resources, P. 0. Box 26052, Shoreview, MN 55126.
This study explores the ways in which families define
and express spirituality and the ways in which those definitions and expressions influence and are influenced by family interaction over the life course. The purpose of this
study was to answer the question: How do families influence the definition and expression of members' spirituality? Qualitative methods were used to gather and analyze
data from family members from various belief systems and
at various stages in the life cycle. General conclusions include: (1) Families have stories which reflect their own
unique definitions of spirituality or "meaning-making." (2)
These stories reflect "family worldviews," which assist
family members in making sense of stressful events and in
developing a shared meaning about those events. (3) Children do not always receive these stories and worldviews in
the ways parents intend. (4) Families which define spirituality more extrinsically than intrinsically seem to encounter
greater difficulties when some members choose variant
forms for expression of their spirituality.

POSTMODERNISM, SPIRITUALITY AND FAMILY
THERAPY THEORY.
Steven M. Harris, Syracuse Univ., Syracuse, NY
13244-1250.
Postmodernism has focused on expanding the way
family therapists think about clients, therapy, and theory.
Several significant theories have been criticized for not
being inclusive of the diverse populations and issues
therapists see. One area that has been ignored is spirituality. A client's concerns with spirituality manifest when
he, she, or they pose existential questions regarding the
meaning and purpose of life. If spirituality is an important
part of life, family therapists must ask themselves, "What
are we doing to promote the spiritual growth of our clients?" In that therapists and clients have sexual selves,
cultural selves, and ethnic selves, it is possible that they
also have spiritual selves. This paper presents spirituality
as an area of neglect in family therapy theory. It also
questions the role spirituality has played in the construction
of seminal family therapy theories. The neglect of a spiritual dimension in family therapy training programs carries
over to the therapist's neglect of clients' spirituality. Implications for the development of theory, training of family
therapists, and self of the therapist are discussed.

DEFINING THE CAREGIVING FAMILY.
Norah Keating, Karen Kerr, Sharon Warren, Dana
Wertenberger and Michael Grace. The Caring Project, 3-38
Assiniboia Hall, Univ. of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
T6G 2E7.
Despite a recognition of the importance of families in
providing informal care to frail seniors, there is no consensus as to what constitutes the caregiving family. Data on the
informal provision of care suggest that one person in a
family, most often a female spouse or daughter, is the primary caregiver. However, little is known about whether this
person provides care on her own or is embedded in a supportive family network that shares caregiving. The purpose
of this presentation is to discuss some of the assumptions
inherent in our beliefs about who comprises the caregiving
family and to propose a framework for considering the
83
�question of its' relevance and existence. Although both
'caregiving' and 'family' lack conceptual clarity, our focus
is on who is the family when it comes to providing long
term care for an ill relative.
We argue that the caregiving family has two elements: those who provide help and those who are potential
sources of help to the primary caregiver. The actual caregiving family is the group of people who provide assistance
to the primary caregiver. The potential caregiving family is
the group of people who are not currently helping but
whom the primary caregiver believes would help or should
help.

ZIMBABWE FAMILIES AND CHILDREN.
John L. McAdoo and Harriette Pipes McAdoo, Dept.
of Family and Child Ecology, Michigan State Univ., East
Lansing, MI 48824.
The name Zimbabwe derives from the Shona words
zima ramabe, meaning "big house of stone." The inhabitants are 80% Shona and 15% Ndebele. The period of
exploitation lasted for over 100 years. After a 13-year war
and much suffering of the people, independence was
achieved in 1980. A broader definition of family exists in
Zimbabwe: What Americans would call extended family is
really family to the people of Zimbabwe. This is little concept of what Americans would describe as extended families. A person would have to be a fourth or fifth cousin to fit
the Zimbabwean definition of extended. Children and family exist within the supportive network of extended family
and traditional culture. The process of tying families together ensures that the children will have a place to live
where they will be loved. In case something happens to the
parents, there is always a niche to which the child can go
within the family.

Though physical abuse is harmful to women, investigators have reported that the effects of emotional abuse
may endure longer and be more debilitating than physical
abuse. This study had two objectives: (1) to assess the
emotional abuse CoL-aged women experiences in dating
relationships; (2) to explore the relationship between emotional abuse these women experience and the emotional
abuse they recall their mothers experiencing. Preliminary
analyses suggest a positive correlation between women's
abuse and their reports of mothers' emotional abuse. Implications for research, clinicians and policy-makers are

19717-1303.
The "citizen politics" model developed by Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey Institute is a framework for
community involvement that has proven effective in a
number of community empowerment initiatives in the state
of Delaware. Key "citizen politics" concepts will be discussed, and illustrated with examples from the following
organizational efforts in Delaware: (1) The Governor's
Commission on Families, (2) The Work/Family Coalition,
and (3) WCASA (Wilmington Cluster Against Substance
Abuse) Community Partnerships. This session will focus
on findings from the growing research literature on factors
involved in building productive, longterm coalitions. Of
special interest will be a discussion of the process and
factors that have proven most effective in consensusbuilding in groups whose members have been purposefully
chosen to be value-diverse.

FAMILY SCIENCE INTERNSHIPS: A MODEL FOR
SECURING SITES AND PLACING INTERNS.
Janice G. Weber-Breaux, CFLE, Child & Fam. Stud.
Prog., Univ. of SW LA, Lafayette, LA 70504.
The focus of this discussion is on a metl10d of securing internship sites as well as for placing students at sites.
The presentation on securing sites will include identifying
and contacting sites and orientation of site supervisors. The
presentation on placing students will include student applications and interviews and assigning sites. Issues and concerns surround internships such as incompatible students
and supervisors, supervisors who don't supervise, and

INTEGRATING A COMPUTERIZED ASSESSMENT
USING AWARE INVENTORY IN FAMILY LIFE
EDUCATION.
David H. Olson, Dept. of Fam. So'c. Science, U. of
MN, St. Paul, MN 55108.
This workshop will demonstrate how a computerized
assessment tool called AWARE can be integrated into family life education courses to enhance the relevance of the
material presented. On-hand experience using this approach will be a central part of the workshop. This approach and tool are relevant to both college and high
school courses.
AWARE (Awareness With Attitudes & Relationship
Expectations) is a newly developed questionnaire based on
previously developed instruments by Olson and colleagues
(PREPARE, Premarital Attitude Scale, etc.). It contains 12
content categories and extensive background information
with about 150 questions. Categories focus on relevant
relationship issues like communication, conflict roles,
sexuality, etc.
The procedure involves the students taking AWARE
the first day/week of class. Their responses are computerized and each student receives a 12-page computer report
which summarizes their responses and compares it with
other students in their class, other students nationally, and
family life professionals. The instructor receives a 15-page
report with similar data. Each page focuses on one topic/
category, so it can be used as an overhead to integrate with
other materials. This enables instructors to increase the
relevance of the content to a student's life in order to
enhance the amount of learning.
SESSION 417
ENHANCING PERSONAL AUTONOMY IN HEALTH
CARE: ETHICAL DILEMMAS AND CHALLENGES.
M. Sturn, Univ. Of Minnesota, 290 McNeal Hall,
1985 Buford Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55108. K. Goebel
Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison, 1300 Linden Drive, ·
Madison, WI 53706.
Autonomy, or the right to self-determination, is an
ethical principle generally supported as a basic patient right
in health care. The ethical dilemmas surrounding autonomy
become more difficult and complex when a patient is no
longer able to make or communicate his or her own preferences or decisions about health care. How well are we faring in enhancing autonomy in times of patient incapacity?
Family members, health care providers, ethics committees
in varied health care settings, state legislatures, and courts
are struggling with difficult ethical dilemmas regarding
autonomy and life and death health care decision making.
Proceedings
In this interactive workshop, this complex issue will
be examined from an ethical and value perspective. An
overview of autonomy, beneficence, justice, and paternalism as competing ethical principles will be provided. Case
studies, living will forms, and videotapes of family experiences with formal care systems will assist participants to
examine the ethical dilemmas facing individuals, within
family systems, between family and health care systems,
and within society. The role of formal (institutional/professional) care, informal (family/friends) care, and public
policy as external constraints to enhancing personal autonomy will be examined.
Participants will gain hands-on experience with educational resources designed to enhance individual autonomy within the context of family decision making behavior.
Caveats and challenges for prevention educators and intervention professionals will be discussed. This issue has implications for family science professionals involved in formal or informal health care systems, prevention education,
or family policy.

Relationships among Asian Americans.
Discussant: Eleanor Palo Stoller (Dept. of Sociology,
SUNY, Plattsburgh, NY 12901).
By the year 2060 the population age 65 and older will
increase two-fold while the number of elders who are impaired and need some type of community-based or institutional care will triple in size. Simultaneously, related
social, economic, and demographic changes will place
increased pressure on public and familial resources that
have traditionally been relied upon to provide assistance to
85
�frail elders. One of the significant challenges posed by this
dilemma is to better understand the nature of intergenerational exchanges in the context of the aging family.
This symposium will focus on intergenerational
exchanges from a variety of perspectives including (a) the
examination of multiple dimensions of relationship quality
(i.e., cohesion, companionship, conflict) experienced by
parents of adult children, (b) the conceptualization and
estimation of a model that assesses the impact of reciprocal
task performance on adult child caregiver stress/burden and
disabled elder well-being, (c) the exploration of the differing roles (i.e., primary versus secondary caregiver) assumed by children of impaired parents within the context
of the family system, and (d) the resource exchange and
economic and emotional interdependence exhibited by
Asian American elders and their children and grandchildren. Collectively, these papers provide insight into
patterns of exchanges in a variety of family situations that
can be used to foster new research as well as inform aging
and family policies that are sensitive to the heterogeneity of
the aging family system.

ETHICS AT RISK: A RESEARCH BASED INSTRUMENT
FOR DETERMINING A THERAPIST'S POTENTIAL FOR
HARM.
Gregory W. Brock, Dept. of Family Studies, Univ. of
Kentucky, 315 Funkhouser Building, Lexington, KY
40506-0054.
The role of ethics codes and other means of regulating marriage and family therapists is the prevention of
harm to clients, therapists, and the profession. The focus of
this paper is a research based, self-administered test that
practitioners can use to determine their level of risk for
harm. The test covers several areas of practice, but, in
particular, it addresses dual relationships. Aside from advertising errors, dual relationships are the category of
ethics code violation most commonly found among marriage and family therapists. After a presentation on the
conceptual basis for the instrument, the audience will be
invited to take the test and to discuss its contents.
SESSION 419-2
NEW WAYS AND VALUES FOR INTERVENING WITH
MULTIPROBLEM CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.
Jeanette Coufal and Mary Ortwein, Bluegrass
IMPACT, Community Mental Health Center, Lexington
KY 40508.
An intensive program that serves children with emotional and behavioral disabilities departs from traditional
values. Instead of psychiatric hospitalization, power vested
in professionals and each agency working in isolation, an
innovative philosophy exists. The program called Blue-
86
grass IMPACT is committed to keeping children in the
home/community rather than placing out of the home.
Interagency collaboration is encouraged through regular
team meetings that include parents as full partners.
Specifics of the program and evaluation results will be
presented along with a case example.
SESSION 419-3
VALUES, MORALS, AND ETHICS IN FAMILY THERAPY
PRACTICE.
Ned L. Gay lin, Dept. of Fam. Stud., Univ. of MD,
Col. Pk., MD 20742.
Three related terms "values," "morals," and "ethics"
are often used interchangeably in both common parlance as
well as in the applied behavioral sciences. Although the
differences between these concepts are subtle, their distinctions are focal to our study of and working with individuals and families in a psychotherapeutic context.
This paper discusses how the blurring of the distinctions among these terms has proven deleterious to theory
building, empirical research, and clinical practice, which in
turn has ramifications regarding our professional ethics.
SESSION 419-4
A THERAPY OF BELIEFS: ONE APPROACH TO AGING
FAMILY PROBLEMS.
Wendy L. Watson, Marriage & Family Therapy
Graduate Programs, Dept. of Family Sciences, Brigham
Young Univ., Provo, UT 84602.
This presentation will provide in-depth exposure to a
therapy of beliefs, "Systemic Belief Therapy" (SBT), with
aging families experiencing difficulties with physical and/
or emotional/mental health problems. SBT focuses on challenging aging families' constraining beliefs and co-evolving facilitative beliefs. Through this process, aging family
strengths/resources are drawn forth to enable them to discover/uncover solutions to their problems. The theoretical
underpinnings, core concepts and clinical application of
this approach to aging family problems will be presented.
Assessment of aging family members' beliefs will be
demonstrated through videotape segments of therapy sessions conducted with aging families experiencing problems
including Alzheimer's disease, depression, alternate living
arrangements and relationship conflict.
Videotape segments will also illustrate the impact of
interventions such as novel conversations, reflecting teams
and therapeutic letters on aging family beliefs. Outcome
research will highlight the efficacy and unique features of
SBT with aging families.

UNDERSTANDING AIDS IN CROSS-CULTURAL
PERSPECTIVE: A COMPARISON OF CHILDREN IN
THE UNITED STATES AND THAILAND.
Jay D. Schvaneveldt, Margaret H. Young, & Shelley
L. K. Lindauer, Dept. OF FHD, Utah State Univ., Logan,
UT 84322-2905.
The present study measured Thai children's knowledge of AIDS. Sources of information, fears regarding
AIDS, and general knowledge of AIDS were assessed.
Responses of the Thai children were compared with those
of a sample of U.S. children. The findings demonstrate not
only clear developmental differences in children's conceptions of AIDS, but compelling cultural differences as well.
Thai children were much more knowledgeable about AIDS
at all age levels.

ADOLESCENTS' DRINKING PARTNERS AND
PSYCHOSOCIAL ADJUSTMENT· A CROSS-CULTURAL
PERSPECTIVE.
Delores E. Smith, Child & Fam. St., Univ. of TN, &
Lynn M. Blinn-Pike, CFLE, Hum. Dev. & Fam. St., Univ.
of MO.
The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between drinking partner (adults versus peers) and the
psychosocial adjustment of Jamaican adolescents. Alcohol
consumption among adolescents in Jamaica is not illegal
and is considered culturally acceptable behavior. The analysis of the survey data revealed that the adolescents who
consumed alcohol with adults had higher self-evaluations
on several dimensions of the self-image than those who
drank with peers. Adolescents who had adult drinking partners reported better family relationships and more that they
experienced less emotional fluctuations, had better family
relationships, and higher vocational and educational goals,
were more socially conscious, and had better overall psychological adjustment. Discussion centers on the need for
cultural considerations in interpreting constructs such as
family functioning, morality, and pathology. Implications
relative to social group and family dynamics among diverse
groups in the United States are discussed.

84322-2905.
The major goal of this research was to determine how
living arrangements and family structure influenced self-
Proceedings
esteem, academic performance, sex role identity and
substance use of adolescents. Data were collected from 256
high Sch. students (grades 9-12) in an overseas schools
(DoDDS). The questionnaires consisted of 119 items and
were administered in the classroom setting. No differences
were found between intact and reconstituted families in regard to substance use, sex role identification, and self-esteem. In contrast, adolescents living within intact families
demonstrated significantly higher grade point averages
than adolescents living in reconstituted families. Levels of
perceived positive acceptance were also tested with these
two family structures in regard to the main dependent
variables.
SESSION 420-4
ADOLESCENTS' PERCEPTIONS AND COMPLIANCE
TO PARENTAL POWER STRATEGIES.
Gyesook Yoo, Dept. of Child Development and
Family Studies, Purdue Univ., IN 47906.
Based on sex-role and social power theories, this
study examined the effects of adolescent sex, age, and
parental power dimensions on adolescent perceptions and
compliance to parents. Data were analyzed from a sample
of 348 Korean middle-class adolescents. The findings indicate that adolescents' sex, age, and parental power dimensions simultaneously affect their perceptions and compliance to parental power. The salient responses in late adolescence supported both of sex-role and social power
theories, suggesting that the two theories are compensatory
each other to explain power processes between parents and
adolescents.
SESSION 421-1
RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY IN MATE SELECTION: THE
CASE OF ACTIVE MORMON AMERICAN COUPLES.
Thomas B. Holman, CFLE, John R. Harding, and L.
Jerry Redd, Dept. of Family Sciences, Brigham Young
Univ., Provo, UT 84602.
Our purpose is to provide insights into and practical
implications about the mate selection processes of religiously active Mormon couples. We do this by describing
the movement of our couples through acquaintance,
courtship, and engagement, to marriage; and we explain
how being religiously active Mormons influences this
process. Our data comes from in-depth, interviews with 30
couples who we have been following for 9 years. The
courtship and engagement processes of our couples reflects
the wider American courtship system in many ways. However, active Mormons' courtships are unique in several
ways: Short courtships, spiritual confirmations, and no
cohabitation or premarital sexual activity. This study
illustrates the need for interventionist to be sensitive to
students' /clients' religious beliefs.

THE GANG AS FAMILY. THE MEANING OF GANG
MEMBERSHIP TO GANG MEMBERS.
Jane A. Grimstad, Center for Health Policy &
Program Evaluation, Univ. of WI, Madison, WI 53703.
Oral history interviews were conducted with ganginvolved youth in a large Midwestern city. Typical case
sampling was used to select the sample (N = 15). The
purpose of this study was to uncover the meaning gang
members ascribe to gang affiliation and involvement in
their everyday lived experience.
The study found that gang members regarded their
affiliation with a gang as a "brotherhood"; a concept which
is culturally- and gender-based. The four components articulated of the brotherhood parallel functions of a family.
These components taken together contributed to gang
members viewing their affiliation as lifelong.
This research has gone beyond previous studies, in
that, gang involvement provides the functions of a family
to gang members beyond the need to belong. The gang also
provides economic support, leisure activities, shared commitment and a haven from the larger environment. Implications for family theorists and policy will be presented.
SESSION 422-3
MEANING-MAKING IN FAMILY BEREAVEMENT
Janice Winchester Nadeau, Dept. of Family Social
Science, U ofMN, St. Paul, MN 55108.
Much of what we know about grief is from an individual perspective. This study investigates family meaningmaking, a critical factor in bereavement. Symbolic Interactionism and Family Systems Theory underlie the design
of the study.
Interviews were conducted with 48 individuals in 10
non-clinical, multigenerational families. Respondents were
interviewed separately and in family groups. Interview data
were transcribed verbatim and content analyzed by methods greatly influenced by the methodology of Grounded
Theory (Glaser & Strauss, 1967; Glaser and Corbin, 1990).
Findings include a typology of family meanings and
insights into the patterns of family meaning-making. There
were family systems levels of meaning-making, factors
which seemed to inhibit or facilitate family meaning-making, and family-specific strategies used to make meaning.
Identifying these family processes should be helpful,
not only in understanding how families make meaning
about death, but how they make-meaning about other
traumas. Such understandings would be helpful to
researchers, educators, helping professionals and families.

Plenary Address, Saturday, Nov. 7, 9:45am
FAMILY INCOME AND SOCIAL POLICY. Sheila B. Kamerman,
Co-Director, Cross-Nat!. Stud. Res. Program., Columbia Univ.
Sch. of Soc. Wk., 622 W. 113th St., New York, NY 10025.
The theme will be that family income--and the economic
situation of children and their families is the product of both
work (earnings) and social policy. Social policies affect wages
through tax policies and setting minimum wages. Social policies
affect income through legislating child benefits (child and family
allowances, maternity and parenting benefits and leaves,
guaranteed minimum child support benefits and housing
allowances). Social policies affect the balance between work and
family life by assuring parents adequate time for children and
protecting against income loss. Finally, social policies shape the
quantity, quality and affordability, of child care services, which
in tum make it possible for parents to be employed--and
contribute to the economic well-being of their children--while
assuring children of adequate care.
We in the U.S. know what it takes to assure children adequate economic well-being. Why, then, does the U.S. have a
higher child poverty rate than almost every other major industrialized country?

BEYOND THE SECOND SHIFT: DENYING NEEDS AT HOME
OR CONTESTING RULES AT WORK?
Arlie Russell
Hochschild, Dept. of Soc., Univ. of CA-Berkeley, Berkeley, CA
94720
In this talk I will take off from the thesis of The Second
Shift, arguing first that to stabilize the modem family--which is
often a 2 job family--we need to conquer 2 frontiers. First we
need to democratize the work at home. Second, we need to
contest the social rules at the workplace.
Drawing on my intensive research at a Fortune 500 Corporation, I compare the different work-family issues for managers
(at the top), clerical workers (in the middle), and production
workers (at the bottom). At the top, I argue, the central issue is
work-aholism and the denial of family needs. In the middle, the
central issue is managerial distrust and the regimentation of work
life. At the bottom level the issue is the dispensability of the
worker and the invisibility of his or her family life as it is
affected by rotating shift work. I conclude with the outline of a
program to adapt the workplace to the new families of its current
workers.
Plenary Address, Monday, Nov. 9, 9:45 am
WORK-FAMILY POLICIES: DILEMMAS AND OPPORTUNITIES. Joseph H. Fleck, Ctr. for Research on Women, Wellesley
Col., Wellesley, MA
The 3 main categories of work-family policies: child care,
flexible schedules, and parental leave, each have their own historical evolution and policy issues. Child care arose first as a
policy area, had a major setback in the early 1970's, but in
certain respects has made considerable progress since then. The
3 main issues today are: (l) how the implementation of therecently enacted Act for Better Childcare, in large part done at the
state level, will shape the future evolution of child care in the
next 2 decades, (2) the continuing issue of the low pay and high
turnover of child care workers, (3) the continuing deep social
ambivalence about non-maternal care, reflected in various ways
(Belsky debate, rise of certain new "pro-family" advocacy
groups). There are 2 main policy issues about flexible schedules:
(1) Do they or can they really help working families much? The
predominant current forms of flexible schedules actually have
relatively little flexibility, so effects are small, but when actual
degree of flexibility is high, the evidence is that positive effects
are demonstrable. (2) Do flexible schedules reinforce inequity in
the marital division of labor? Contrary to most others, I argue
not. Parental leave is the newest policy area. Much more so than
the other 2 policies, it presents the policy issue of how much is
it legitimate to mandate employers to provide a policy. The
available data suggests that the cost to employers of mandating
this particular policy is low, but opponents dispute this, and find
other grounds to resist it. Although legislation at the federal level
is blocked, there has been a steady extension of parental leave
benefits at the state, union, and employer level.
At a broad level crosscutting all 3 areas, there is a general
issue: In the US, these policies are under attack from both the
"right" end of the continuum of family ideology (these policies
encourage wives' employment, with various subsidiary effects
that collectively destroy the family, and from the "left" (these
policies reinforce traditional gender roles, and really only benefit the middle class (and by implication, whites). Both help explain why the U.S. lags behind the rest of the industrialized
world in these policies.
Presidential Address, Monday, Nov. 9, 2:30 pm
FAMILIES, SCIENCE, AND VALUES, Brent C. Miller, Dept. of
Fam. & Hum. Dev., Utah State Univ., Logan, UT 84322.
Many professionals interested in families, not unlike lay
persons, share an environmental perspective that parenting is
largely responsible for most child outcomes. With respect to
some children's behaviors and traits, however, recent evidence
suggests that biological mechanisms play a much larger role than
has traditionally been allowed.
Evidence about the biological bases of learning ability,
personality, psychopathology, and sexual orientation is presented, raising questions about the adequacy of the family social
influences perspective. Taken together, the evidence suggests a
much larger role for biological mechanisms than is reflected in
our field. The implications are a broader view of causes for
family researchers, and more complex applications for family
practitioners.
The role of values in scientific research also is discussed,
using the area of adolescent pregnancy as an example. Fundamental assumptions, the research questions posed and investigated, and the sensory data obtained and interpreted all reflect
the values of scholars in this area. The implications of this
constructionist view are increased modesty in our truth claims,
and, hopefully, a greater tolerance of those whose values lead
them to ask different questions and to see the evidence
differently than we do.

The fields involved in the study of family and human
development have not been very successful at linking
research and theory to the needs of policy makers,
practitioners, and the public. This failure to link research
to action stems from a variety of factors including graduate
training which does not adequately prepare scholars to
conduct applied research or translate findings to nonresearchers, an increasingly narrow definition of scholarly
activity, and the failure of most researchers to recognize
that research is a reciprocal process that should be guided
not only by current theoretical developments and personal
interests but by the pressing social problems and policy
concerns that affect society. This symposium will examine
the validity of these issues, identify factors that have led to
the emergence of the gap between research and practice,
and make recommendations to researchers, professionals
and others on what can be done.

The purpose of the proposed symposium is
to examine measurement issues in selected
constructs of family stress. Specifically, the
presentations focus on factors A, C, and X of
the ABC-X model with linkages to contextual
factors that shape the family's perception of the
stressors in their lives.
The patterns and dynamics of family life among middleclass ethnic minority families represent one of the most
neglected issues in family social science. Despite the historic
existence of an African-American middle-class in most urban
centers, especially in the South, rarely has this population been
included in sufficient numbers in large scale national studies or
small, in-depth investigations of urban communities. This ~-part
symposium is designed to explore the interrelationships among
middle-class status, gender, and work. Part one, which is
comprised of an interdisciplinary set of papers, examines the
intersection of race, class, and gender in the work and family life
of African-American women.
Murry reports on the impact of mother's occupational
status, family processes, and family structure on the patterns of
sexual behavior among African-American adolescents from a
national study. Her fmdings urge a reconsideration of the
dichomotous approach which compares single-parent to 2-parent
families. McAdoo reports on the support strategies and role
obligations of middle-class single mothers. Her findings call
into question current conceptualizations of family roles and offer
new strategies for helping professionals. Burgess examines jobrelated stressors in the lives of professional and managerial
African-American women, with particular attention to the
dilemmas created by social mobility, family relations, and
occupational success. Her findings demonstrate the role of
support networks as buffers against perceived negative workrelated stressors. Bell-Scott explores the relationship of family
values and workplace experiences in the narrative of a middleclass African-American woman. Her findings suggest that
family values and class identity may play a supportive and
restricting role in the lives of African-American women born in
the first half of the 20th century. As discussants, Weddle and
Hunter will synthesize and integrate the research findings, and
identify potential areas for further exploration. They will also
facilitate discussion between the presenters and audience.

Since the beginning of the colonial period in
Eastern and Southern Africa, a little over one
hundred years ago, African families have been in a
state of constant turmoil and transition. Gradually the
introduction of money economy and formal
education have contributed to this upheaval as the
extended family and its support systems have
disintegrated and various forms of the nuclear family
have emerged.
During this symposium, three African scholars will
present their research regarding the ways in which
Eastern and Southern African families have been
affected by these changes. Findings from these
quantitative and qualitative studies wili summarize
the ways in wr1ich 1) evolving gender role values and
expectations have influenced women's work
patterns; 2) teen women's patterns of developing
relationships, choosing life partners, and family
planning attitudes have changed; and 3) the ways in
which women and children's health status has been
infiu.;mced by the changing/transitional nature of tt1e
family.

This symposium draws on the experiences of
persons whose research has focused on different
problems and programs within the domain of family
policy: Headstart, child support, adult day care, a
subsidy program for families with a mentally retarded
child, and expenditures for social programs more
generally. Discussion focuses on such issues as factors
affecting receptivity to research findings, factors related
to the timeliness of research findings, the political
distortion of research findings, the misinterpretation of
research findings, the changing dynamics of the policy
problem and conditions under which policy research is
conducted, and pressures for recommendations that go
beyond the data. Other issues also will be discussed.

Thomas W. Roberts, CFLE (West. KY Univ.,
Bowling Green, KY 42101) Marital Therapy and
Religious Addiction.
This symposium is designed to address various
aspects of counseling or therapy as related to religious
life.
In the first paper, Kip Jenkins states that most
clergy recognize that marriage and family counseling is
an essential part of the role they perform.
Denomination adherents seem quick to seek clergymen
as credible resources to help them solve marriage and
family problems. However, research has not provided
family scholars and practitioners with paradigms which
adequately identify assumptions clergy make regarding
their role as marriage and family counselors. , The
author will reveal assumptions that pastors make about
the role that they "ought" to perform as marriage and
family counselors based on his 2-year qualitative
research project.
Sheila Baillie and E. Wayne Hill will discuss the
experience of stress related to the pastoral counseling
profession among pastoral counselors and their spouses.
The study examined how pastoral counselors were
coping with stress by evaluating self-reported functional
and dysfunctional behaviors.
Thomas Roberts will discuss marital therapy
when one of the spouses is regarded as addicted to
religion (an excessive preoccupation that interferes with
personal adjustment and relationships with others). He
will focus on 4 steps in the therapeutic process:
breaking through the denial; improving communication
and problem-solving; replacing the religious addiction;
and reinforcing the new rituals.
This symposium provides three different lenses
through which to view "work." The first paper by Jane
Gilgun presents a historical look at the work of Anselm
Strauss who, with Barney Glaser, developed the
qualitative research methodology called "Grounded
Theory Methodology." This paper traces the impact
that the work of Strauss and his colleagues has had on
family research, using interviews and written accounts
from Strauss's original team at UCSF and from his
students. In the second paper Strauss will discuss his
theoretical and methodological perspective related to
families and work. He will explain how looking at
family interaction and life from the perspective of the
sociology of work brings out certain features that
would otherwise be missed. Finally, Juliet Corbin will
demonstrate how grounded theory methodology can be
used to study the work of families where one or both
partners have a chronic illness. This symposium will
be of interest not only to researchers using qualitative
methods to study families, but also to health
professionals who work with families living with
chronic illness.

Using the Health Belief Model, this
study investigated the determinants of
condom use in a sample of sexually active
college students (n = 343). Participants
completed a survey. Independent variables
included perceived severity of
AIDS,
susceptibility to AIDS, benefits of and
barriers to condom use, subjective risk
of getting AIDS, knowledge about HIV and
AIDS, and gender. The dependent variable
was intention to use condoms during the
next 12 months. The results of logistic
regression found perceived benefits of
condom
use, enjoyment barriers,
the
belief that using a condom makes sex more
enjoyable by prolonging sex, subjective
risk of getting AIDS, and gender to be
related significantly to intended condom
use.
Separate analyses for each gender
indicate similarities and
differences
between female and male orientations to
condom use.

Nelwyn B. Moore, Dept. of Home Econ., SW TX State
Univ., San Marcos, TX 78666.
As concerns about unintended pregnancy and
sexually transmitted diseases have escalated due to the
advent of AIDS, the call for the implementation of
strategies to reduce risk-related sexual practices grow
louder. Consensus concerning one obvious safer sex
strategy, sex education, remains in question. Since the
foundation for adult sexuality is built very early in life and
is a process influenced by many factors, the purpose of
this investigation was to determine thf influence of age at
first contraceptive information on sexual attitudes and
behavior including safer sex practices, incidence of
premarital pregnancy, and contraction of STDS.
This report is based on a six-month
follow-up study of 7th grade students in
Delaware and Mississippi who participated
in an abstinence-based pregnancy prevention program for high-risk adolescents
(low income, high teen pregnancy rate
communities). The evaluation design is
a pretest, post-test, 6-month follow-up
of 52 treatment and 39 control group subjects in the two sites. Cognitive gains
on three measures of knowledge about sexuality, adolescent pregnancy, and STDs
were found at post-test, and were retained at 6-month follow-up. Treatment group
subjects were also significantly less
likely than control subjects to report
the initiation of sexual intercourse at
follow-up. The results are significant
in that they are among the first to show
effectiveness of an abstinence-based
pregnancy prevention program for adolescents after 6 months.

Much of the research regarding grandparentgrandchild relationships has focused on the significance of
grandparents in the lives of young children. This paper
examines the importance of grandparents in the lives of
both African-American and White adolescents. A random
sample of 122 youth (ages 14-18) from an integrated high
school in suburban Cook County, IL were surveyed. The
sample was further stratified by family structure -- either
divorced or intact families. Subjects were surveyed
regarding perceived grandparental influence in the areas of
academics, family and peer relationships, and personal
growth. Controlling for mother's education, findings
indicated that grandparents were most involved for
African-American adolescents and for adolescents from
divorced families.

THE TRANSITION TO FIRST INTERCOURSE

SINGLE MOTHERS AND DEPRESSION: A VIEW OF
THE ROLE OF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL
RESOURCES. Rosalie Hammond, Vanderbilt Sch. of
Nursing, Nashville, TN 37240.
This study explored the transition to first sexual
intercourse among Chicano, Latino, black and white teens.
Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, a
logistic regression model was used to estimate the effect
of several distal and proximate variables on that transition.
It was hypothesized that as a teen ages she/he would move
from being more influenced by proximate factors to being
more influenced by the distal world of peers and
community. This hypothesis was partially confirmed.
However, there were significant differences between males
and females, and ethnic/cultural groups. It was also
suggested that age of first intercourse is not a simple
process, but rather there is a compelling need to perform
separate analysis by race and gender. In particular, factors
influencing the transition to intercourse for Chicano and
Latino subgroups of males and females were quite unique.
A qualitative study examined the process of engaging
in supportive interactions and the association of supportive
interactions to the occurrence of depressive symptoms in
a sample of 21 single mothers (with at least one child
from 18 months to 10 years). In addition to interview
data, diary data were collected to obtain daily records of
support and weekly CES-D scores for a 4-week period.
Using grounded theory techniques, the mothers were
categorized into three groups based on descriptions of life
as a single parent, with a continuum from struggling to
managing. Mothers grouped as struggling reported having
evidence of more negative interactions, less economic
resources, and had significantly higher CES-D scores than
mothers in the other groups. Income was closely but not
significantly associated to the qualitative groupings.
Results indicate the need to consider the influence of
economic resources on perceived options for social
interaction. Inclusion of social and economic contexts as
significant to maternal mental health was highlighted.

TRANSITIONS IN WORKING MOTHERS' HEALTH
Killien, Marcia;U. of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195
Research that examines the impact on maternal
health of returning to work while simultaneously
adjusting to parenthood has been limited. The
purpose of this paper is to describe patterns of
health reported by employed women during
pregnancy (PG) & at 1 & 4 months postpartum (PP).
Ninety pregnant, employed women completed
questionnaires during PG, 1 & 4 mo. PP. Health was
ascertained by S's self report of symptoms, work &
family role function, and general health rating. Data
were analyzed using analysis of variance for
repeated measures.
By 4 mo. PP 70% had returned to work
(M= 10.5wks). Significantly fewer physical (p< .0001)
and psychological (p < .0001) symptoms were
reported at 1 & 4 mo. PP than during PG. Work &
family role functioning differed across time
(p<.0001), with ratings highest during PG, lowest at
1 mo. PP, & and near PG levels by 4 mo. PP.
Despite decreasing symptoms and a return to
usual activities, by 4 mo. PP, S's were functioning
less well than during PG. Interventions to promote
working mothers' health need to be extended well
into the first year following childbirth.

A PROGRAM FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN YOUTH Lillian A.
Phenice, Robert J. Griffore, Gloria Gonzalez-Kruger. Dept. of Fam.
& Child Ecology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824.
The Joint Exploration and Development Initiative is a
partnership between African American faculty, administrators, and
students on Michigan State University campus and African American
youths identified as at risk academically and socially. Youths visit
and join in the daily activities of African American academicians or
students at Michigan State University. The program is designed: (1)
to provide positive life experiences (2) to link with role models who
demonstrate effective strategies and techniques for successful academic
life experiences (3) to establish supportive and caring assistance (4) to
have a positive effect on career aspirations and accomplishments, (5) to
identifY some characteristics of quality mentoring. Numerous positive
outcomes of the program include: I. Emotional support given by adult
partners, 2. Maintaining and reinforcing the need to succeed
academically, 3. Acquisition of social skills, 4. Learning autonomy,
including catching a ride on a bus, leaving messages of the telephone
and asking questions to solve problems, 5. Having new experiences,
including camping, outdoor cross country skiing, and interacting
actively with academicians in their professional roles, 6. Learning
autonomy in spending money, 7. More effective and open self
expression, 8. More effective conflict resolution, 9. Engaging in group
activities which promote cooperation vs. competition, 10. Learning to
respect others, II. Learning more positive visions of future
aspirations.

STUDENT PERCEPTIONS OF FAMILY GRADUATE
PROGRAMS. Scerinda Sanderson, David Greenman,
Wesley Burr, Michael M. Morgan, and Ryan Regis, Dept.
of Fam. Sci., Brigham Young Univ., Provo, UT 84602.
Few studies have been undertaken that provide
evaluative information about graduate programs in the
field of family science. The existing studies offer only
general information dealing with research facilities,
financial aid, cost of living, and application requirements.
They fail to take into consideration the student's
perspective on the effectiveness of their programs in areas
such as quality and accessibility of faculty, quality of the
university resources, and dominant theoretical orientation.
Such a perspective will benefit graduate program
applicants. Graduate students from the 28 universities that
offer a Ph.D. in family science completed questionnaires
to provide this kind of information. The findings from the
quantitative and qualitative data provide prospective
graduate students with a valuable resource to evaluate
graduate programs on areas they feel are important, and
help them select a program that best fits their individual
goals and needs. The project was sponsored by the
Family Science Section of NCFR.

WAITING TIME AND SCHEDULING AS BARRIERS
TO PRENATAL CARE UTILIZATION FOR
EMPLOYED WOMEN. Omar, Mildred and
Schiffman, Rache 1 , CON, MI State U. ,
East Lans1ng, Ml 48824
One reason for poor utilization of
prenatal care is the unresponsiveness
of the system to the employed pregnant
women 1 s needs. Three focus groups were
conducted with pregnant women. The
focus groups were audiotaped and
transcribed verbatim. Analysis of the
transcripts revealed two major barriers
to the utilization of prenatal care
services for employed women: the long
waiting time to be seen; and the
scheduling of prenatal appointments.
All employed women had to make special
arrangements to take time off from work
to be seen for their prenatal visits.
Many women h~d to use their leave/sick
time, decreasing the time for staying
home after the baby was born.
lmpl ications from these findings
suggest the need for system changes in
the delivery of prenatal care that are
responsive to client needs.

IMPACT OF THE TIMING OF RETURN TO

CAREERS. Leonard, Victoria, School of Nursing, University of California, San Francisco;
San Francisco, CA, 94143.
While there is much research to suggest
that length of maternal leave may impact
child development, little research has been
done on the psychological effects on mothers
of the timing of return to work after a first
birth. This longitudinal, phenomenological
study on stress and coping in the transition to
parenthood of mothers with career commitments followed 18 mothers from the last
trimester until their babies were 18 months
old. This paper will present findings of the
study related to the timing of return to work,
including a description of now women decide
when to return to work, contextual factors
which shape how they experience leaving
their infants at different ages in the first year,
and the effects of this timing on their sense
of themselves as mothers, and as workers.
Social Policy implications of the work will be
discussed.
Family Science has historically not
attracted students of ethnic I racial
background. A model is presented
with necessary elements of a
potentially successful outreach and
recruitment program for Family
Science students. The well used
affirmative action procedures and
methods of recruitment and retention
of faculty and other professionals are
re-focused to develop this model.

Sci., Brigham Young Univ., Provo, UT 84602.
The purpose of this study was to acquire new data
that will assist prospective graduates in identifying programs that will best meet their desires and needs. A
random sample of faculty members selected from all of the
Ph.D. granting family-oriented programs were interviewed
to learn their perceptions about the strengths of the
programs that offer studies in family research, family
therapy and/or family life education. the interviews
secured information about which programs they would include in the top five in each of the areas being examined-research, therapy, and family life education--and why they
believed the programs were outstanding. They were also
asked which programs they felt were "up and coming" and
which programs had regressed in recent years. The faculty
were also given the opportunity to tell about the strengths
and weaknesses of their own program. The results give
quantitative and qualitative information about the reputational eminence, emphases, strengths and limitations of
the programs ... as perceived by faculty inside each program
and by other faculty throughout the country. The project
was sponsored by the Family Science Section of NCFR.

ENRICHING FAMILY SCIENCE: EXAMINING EMPWYERS' PERCEPTIONS OF WORK AND FAMILY ISSUES.
Colleen I. Murray, Sherry L. Waugh, Dept. of Hum. Dev. &
Fam. Stud., Univ. of NV, Reno, NV 89557.
To clarify the bi-directional influence of work and family,
information is needed on employers' characteristics, policies, and
attitudes toward labor/management employees. All companies
listed in Dunn's Million Dollar Directory with Nevada locations
were surveyed. Response rate of 30% was above average for
this type of work. Sample consisted of 30 males and 31
females, most were married and had children. ANOVAs indicated females perceived greater stress for employees. They saw
discipline/guidance of children, child care, and family violence
and abuse as more stressful for both labor and management than
did males. Females perceived greater stress from financial worries and discipline/guidance of school-age children for labor; and
drug abuse, stress, and discipline/guidance of teens for management. There were no differences in attitudes toward the
separation of work and family roles by gender, parental or
marital status. Attitudes toward separation of work-family roles
and level of current support services provided were not related.
Desirability of employer support for family responsive policies
and extent of provided services were related. Common services:
unpaid or paid maternity leave, educational assistance, alcohol
or drug counseling, and stres2 mgnagement. Identified as most
appropriate were educational assistance, alcohol or drug counseling, and fitness and recreation programs; least appropriate
were help with child care costs, paid paternity leave, and job
sharing. Implications address family science careers, research,
and theory development. Funded: NV Dept. of Educ.

FARM WORK AND MANAGEMENT: LEVEL OF
AGREEMENT OF MEN AND WOMEN ON PERCEIVED
FARM INVOLVEMENT
Munro. Brenda, E, Dept. of Fam. Studies, University of Alberta,
Edmonton Alberta The research question for the present study
was; "Does the level of participation that men and women report
correspond with the level of participation that their spouses
report for them?" One hundred and forty men and 140 women
who were married to each other, ranging in age from 20 to 75
years, participated in the study. All of the individuals lived on
farms.
The measures used were the percentage of work,
production management, fmancial management and market
management that men and women reported doing and their
spouses doing at various points of the life cycle.
Men at all ages said that their wives· did significantly
less work than the wives said that they had done while men and
women agreed on the amount of work that men had done ..
Similarly men and women agreed on the amount that men
participated in production management but again women said
that they had done significantly more production management
than their husbands had said that they had done. The fmdings on
financial management were mixed. Younger women (i.e. 21 to
35) said that they had done significantly more financial
management than their husband said that their wives had done.
Conversely amount of fmancial management that older men (i.e.
60 to 70) said that they had done was significantly lower ·than
what their wives had said that they had done. These fmdings
have implications in understanding the role and work
participation of farm women.

The purpose of this research was
to assess current practices and
attitudes of women who were in dual
resident marriages in the nation of
Thailand. Sixty women, 30
professional and 30 village, were
interviewed. The findings showed
that dual residency is an
acceptable marriage pattern in
Thailand. And while Thai women
were often lonely and wished to
spend more time with their spouses,
they were willing to sacrifice

Solheim, Catherine, Dept. of Fam. & Chld
Dev, Auburn Univ, Auburn, AL 36849 and
Danes, Sharon, Fam. Soc. Sci., Univ of MN,
St. Paul,MN 55108.
This study examined the relationship
among farm and family role quality perceptions, perceived financial need to
work off the farm, and satisfaction with
balance of time away from and with family
members for 187 employed midwestern farm
women. Role quality perception variables
measured the gap farm women experienced
between actual and ideal farm and family
roles. The perceived financial need to
work was considered as a constraint to
satisfaction and an influence upon role
quality. A two step OLS regression was
the primary data analysis technique. Employed farm women with larger households
are less satisfied with the balance of
time away from and with family members.
Those employed farm women who experienc~d
a larger gap between their actual and
ideal family roles are less satisfied
with the balance between time away from
and with family members.

Singapore, as a rapidly developing nation, has experienced an unusually rapid transformation in the
roles of women. Nearly half of the
married women in Singapore have
added the role of employee to their
traditional roles of wife and mother. Questionnaires were distributed
to 100 members of dual-earner fami1 i es and in-depth interviews were
conducted with 40 professional women in order to ascertain which
government and corporate policies
were most influential in encouraging women to remain in the labor
force. Results indicate that tax
incentives for employed mothers,
government child care centres and
the ready availability of foreign
nationals to work as domestics are
viewed as most useful.

This study, focusing on marital satisfaction of
working wives in Taiwan, is a test of a path model
which is built upon American literature regarding
women's experiences. The model is composed of the
following variables: socioeconomic status, wife's job
satisfaction, husband's support of his wife's working,
wife's
self-esteem,
self-disclosure,
and
role
congruency. The sample consisted of 150 married and
working women. Path analysis was used to test the
hypotheses. The results indicate that husband's support
is the most important predictor of the wife's marital
satisfaction, followed by self-disclosure. Role
congruency is not significant to wives' marital
satisfaction as was proposed in the model. More studies
are needed to investigate the cross-cultural
comparability of the model.

PULLING TOGETHER, PATTERNS OF
COOPERATION BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE
FOR STATUS ACHIEVEMENT, Lea ShamgarHandelman, Dept. of Soc., Hebrew Univ. of Jerusalem,
Mt. Scopus, Jerusalem 91 905, Israel.
This paper is based on a study investigating how
husbands and wives help or hinder each other's
occupational careers.
The location of jobs, their
cooperation at home, and activities designed to help
directly on the job, are part of the ways the spouse can
assist in career development. Status achievement of
couples is also associated with the whole lifestyle, not just
the occupation. Thus, career and life achievement are
heavily dependent on a couple pulling together in their
efforts, not only at their own, but the other's career
development.

Shmueli-Polak, Shlomo Sharlin, and Ruth Katz, School
of Social Work, University of Haifa, Haifa 31999, Israel.
Studies on the impact of parenting stress on marital
quality have usually ignored the possible effect of parents
on each other. This study examines the joint cfTcct of the
spouses parenting strains on their psychological
well-being and perceived marital quality. Data from 311
intact, first-marriage couples who had children at home
were gathered by structured interviews. Path analysis
models predicting psychological distress and marital
quality by parenting stress were estimated for each gender,
with the mutual effect of the spouses on one another.
Variables in the model also included the woman's
participation in the labor force, traditional household
roles, number of children at home, and the family's
economic status. Resulls revealed gender differences in the
factors affecting parenting stress, psychological well-being
and marital quality. The results also indicated that the
spouses' marital quality and psychological well-being
were associated with their own parenting stress and with
the other spouse's parenting stress, psychological
well-being and perceived marital quality. The findings arc
discussed in terms of systemic processes of interacting
spouses/parents.

Using Bowenian theory, this study
examined the intergenerational
transmission of close relationships.
Participants (N
977) completed
measures regarding their families of
origin, trait anxiety, attitudes
toward marriage, and communication in
close relationships. The findings
indicated that anxiety mediates the
influence of enmeshment and control on
marital attitudes and communication in
close relationships. Triangulation in
the family of origin was unrelated to
rul~iety, but was related to negative
attitudes toward marriage and aversive
communication in close relationships.
The findings provide partial
confirmation and suggest several
extensions to Bowen's (1978) theory.
THE LINKS BETWEEN FAMILY S1RESS AND
CHILDREN'S SOCIAL COMPETENCE:
A PROCESS
MODEL. Volling, Brenda L., MacKinnon, Carol E., and
Dechman, Kimberly, Dept. of Human Dev. and Family Studies,
UNC Greensboro, Greensboro, NC 27412.
The purpose of the present study was to examine a process
model linking family stress to children's social competence with
peers by focusing on the mediating roles of parenting, child
depression and child behavior. Subjects for this study were 104
mothers and their 7-9 yr. old sons. Observations of mother-son
interaction were coded for both positive and negative mother
and child behavior. Information on marital conflict, mother's
depression, negative life events, family income and marital status
was used to create a risk index of family stress. Child
depression was assessed with the Child Depression Inventory
while social competence was measured via peer nominations of
shyness, unhappiness, and dislike. Results indicated that
increased levels of family stress were inversely related to
mother's positive behavior, which in tum was related to
children's depression. More depressed children were nominated
as shyer and more disliked by their peers. The results suggest
that family stress has an impact on children's social competence
and that the effect is mediated through decreased maternal
affection and children's depression.

Greensboro, NC 27412.
A proposed model linking marital conflict to
~ggressive child behavior, through the mediating
~nfluences of parent-child attributional
dissimilarity and children's perceptions of
marital conflict, was tested.
104 mother-son
dyads were recruited from a local school system,
Mothers were married (n=77) and single (n=27)1
sons ranged in age from 7-9. Dyads were white
(n=66) or black (n=38).
Mothers completed the
Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale, the O'LearyPorter Scale, the marital subscales of the
Conflict Tactics Scale, the Maternal Attribution
Measure, and the Externalizing subscale of the
Child Behavior Checklist.
Sons completed the
Child Attribution Measure, and items on the Life
Eve~ts Scale for Children pertaining to parents'
mar.~tal relationships.
A path-analysis of the
model supported the direct effect of marital
conflict on child aggression, and also the
medialing effect of-children's perceptions of
marital conflict. Follow-up regressions did
link higher levels of marital aggression with
grea~er mothers' and sons' attributional
negativity (vs. nissimilarity).

This study compared characteristics
of participants (N=37) enrolled in
parent education with quasi-matched
nonparticipants (N=37), using questionnaires measuring parenting information
needs, parenting beliefs, and parental
demographic characteristics. Nonparticipation was related to perceived
lack of need or having enough prior
training. Parenting beliefs were not
related to perceived need, but those
with more training had more progressive
parenting beliefs. Participants had
higher parenting information needs and
higher desire for support. There were
no differences between participant
groups in helpfulness of information
and support or on parenting beliefs.
Implications relate to recruitment
and program development.

This study is a descriptive comparative analysis of
the selection of family social service intern sites by 798
senior students at a midwestern University from Summer
1972-Spring 1982 (N=398) and from Summer 1982-Spring
1992 (N:::400). In both decades, the most popular choice
(out of fifteen possibilities) was youth services. A
comparison of the two decades revealed an increase in the
choice of alcohol and drug programs, family life
education, hospitals, nursing homes, religiously-oriented
services, shelters for women, social services in a
community setting, and youth residences. Declining
numbers of students served at the following types of sites:
Department of Children and Family Services, crisis line,
career guidance, services for handicapped, mental health
settings, senior citizens centers, and youth service
bureaus/youth corrections. The changes in site selection
reflect apparent changes in social awareness of students,
funding availability for different ag;ency types, and
changes in course emphasis at the university.
Content analysis of professional
literature was used to identify knowledge, attitudes, and skills associated
with effective parental involvement in
education. Principals of elementary
schools identified as having high levels
of parental involvement from twelve
school districts were interviewed to
identify their opinions of important
knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed
for effective parental involvement by
principals and teachers.
A rating scale
was designed based upon the content analysis and interviews.
Principals interviewed in the previous phase completed
the rating scales and verified each of
the dimensions listed by indicating
Agreement or Strong Agreement to their
importance to effective parental
involvement.

We surveyed the 57 alumni who graduated over the
period of 1981-1991 from Auburn University's Family and
Child Development master's degree program; 36 responded, yielding a 63% response rate. We asked about past and
current employment, professional affiliations, accomplishments, as well as evaluations of program effectiveness and
demographic variables. The majority of our respondents
(72%) emphasized clinical training in their degree programs. The rest pursued non-clinical programs. Employment histories indicate two major career paths. The
majority, 76% took jobs in counseling or in human services administration. The others went for careers in education, either in programs for young children as directors/
teachers, or in higher education. The large majority of jobs
(84%) are reported to be within the domain of family and
child development. Beginning salaries in first post-degree
jobs averaged $16,720 (sd=$7 ,835); mean current salary is
$20,870 (sd=$10,979) (with 20% of the jobs being parttime). Most graduates have had more than one job since
graduation, and salaries improve with moves. Comparable
data are being collected from 5 other doctoral and masters

In 1981 Hackett and Betz proposed a theoretical
model to explain the effects of traditional female
socialization on the career-related self-efficacy
expectations of women. This model, drawn mainly from
Bandura's conceptualization of social learning theory
posited "largely as a result of socialization experiences,
women lack strong expectations of personal efficacy in
relation to many career -related behaviors, and, thus, fail
to fully realize their capabilities and talents in career
pursuits" (Hackett & Betz, 1981, p. 326). This model,
and an instrument derived from it, is the focus of this
presentation. Specifically, we will discuss this selfefficacy model of career development as it relates to
the career performance of male and female doctoral
level family and child development faculty in academic
settings. Further, we will discuss the development of
an instrument, the "Self-Assessment of Career
Performance, • and research currently in progress to link
career-related self-efficacy perceptions of men and
women in academia to more traditional measures of
career success, as well as other aspects of personal
and professional socialization.

women's career choices. Career-oriented women were
more liberal and homemaking-oriented women were more
conservative in their attitudes toward women's rights and
roles, and the former had more positive self-concepts than
the latter. It was suggested that women might benefit
from knowledge of these differences when selecting a
college major.

Univ., Fargo, ND 58105.
This research evaluated the impact of three enrichment
programs-Growing Together. Learning to Live Together,
and TIME-- in producing positive changes in marital
functioning for newlyweds. Ninety-nine couples married
between two and 32 months were assigned to one of four
groups (three treatment; one control). Treatment couples
completed the outcome measure, ENRICH, prior to and at
the end of their participation in a program; control couples
completed ENRICH at a similar time interval. To determine
the overall effect of the enrichment programs, all treatment
groups were combined and compared with the control group.
No significant differences were discovered for individual or
couple variables using ANCOV A; however significant
differences were found for six individual and three couple
variables when t-tests of difference scores were conducted.
Significant differences were found for two individual
variables using each of the statistical methods described
above when the three programs were compared with one
another. Results indicate that, while some positive effects
were evident, caution is in order when describing the
newlywed period as an ideal time for enrichment. They also
suggest there is not a particular advantage in using programs
which are specifically geared for early marital couples.

eliciting indepth information on favorite traditions
were used. Analyses were correlational and
qualitative. Family traditions were highly
correlated with family strengths and family
satisfaction. Results indicate the importance of
traditions in building strong families as well as
differences among generations in what traditions
are important and what they mean. Middle
generation women, the ones most likely to be
employed, were concerned with the stress
involved in getting everyone together. Their
mothers and daughters were focused on "formal"

AUTONOMY AND FERTILITY CONTROL FACTORS:
INFLUENCES OF FAMILY LIFE TRAINING. Williams, Doris,
School of Home Economics, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID
83843.
Population growth is one on the more important forces
affecting developing countries. At the same time, there is
growing evidence that women's autonomy influences decisions
and behaviors in regard to fertility size and the impact that
technologically-based programs such as family-planning or
maternal/child health programs have on fertility rates. World
Population Policies (1987) and demographics suggest that in
Ecuador family-planning has primarily been a means of
improving public health, not as a means of reducing population
growth. However, demographics alone do not adequately
explain the problems of poor women and fertility. And, the
scientific basis for the claim that autonomy influences decisionmaking is weak. Further research is needed to determine
precise conditions under which women make decisions about
their own fertility and consequent control (McGill, 1989).
The aim of this project is to investigate poor Ecuadorian
women and the degree of influence that a Family Life Education
training program has on the attitudes or perceptions of
autonomy of in regard to use of birth-control technology.
These variables will be measured using theoretically based
Locus of Control (LOC) and Semantic Differential (SO)
instruments given on a pre-test, a post-test, and a longitudinal
post-test basis. Both of these measures will be refined through
a focus group and pilot testing processes. The sample will be
500 poor women from Guayaquil, Ecuador. All of the 500 will
be given the pre-test and initial post-test but only a sample of
300 trained and tested in the first year of the project will be
post-tested again six months after the initial post-test. Other
demographic variables such as employment, size of families,
spacing, and number of children, education, etc. will be.
investigated and findings should confirm or deny other related
research.

Supervision in an academic setting
must address the quality of the training
and the quality of the therapy provided.
Academic supervisors must also be
concerned with grading therapy and the
legal liabilities of the student's
theraputic activities. At times,
students must be removed from an MFT
program. For all of these reasons,
documentation of supervision in an
academic environment is becoming
increasingly important. This paper outlines the development of the Case
Review Form and how it can be implemented to address the immediate concerns of
an MFT supervisor in an academic

Armin, Ruth Case Western Reserve
University, Cleveland, OH, 44106
A model for practice is outlined
based on eight bi-polar themes that
emerged from an exploratory study
of what set of factors tena to
produce vs. reduce job-family role
strain. This study 1nvolved 80
middle and working class couples
with children in center day care
who returned guestionnaires with a
measure of jon-family role strain.
Of these, 30 couples were selected
by strain score groupings for
interviews. Each was asked to
account for the highness or lowness of their stra1n scores.
The short-term counselling model
addresses the establishment of a
plan of action for alleviating as
much as possible key stressors
identified with a couple in an
assessment of their particular

1WO APPROACHES TO UNDERSTANDING THE
IMPACT OF EMPLOYMENT STATUS ON
STRESS AMONG SINGLE MOTHERS. Carolyne
A. Gorlick and D. Alan Pomfret, King's College,
University of Western Ontario, 266 Epworth Avenue,
London, Ontario. N6A 2M3.
This paper presents two approaches to examining
the relationships among employment status, social
support, mother-child relationships and psychological
stress for employed single mothers and those on
social assistance. The flrst approach determines the
extent to which psychological stress (deflned as a
combination of anxiety and depression) is a
predictable consequence of employment status, social
support, and intra-family relationships. Four kinds of
social support (i.e., close, esteem, informational, and
instrumental) are examined, including the mother's
level of satisfaction with the support provided. The
mother-child relationship emphasizes conflict and
takes the gender of the child into account. The second
approach views stress as a aspect of existence that
the mothers attempt to manage rather than as a
predictable or inevitable outcome of the parents'
conditions of existence. We examine the parents' use
of self-concept and future orientations as
management techniques to cope with stress. Special
attention is paid to the exit strategies used by single
mothers on social assistance to flnd employment.
The data are from a larger project involving
interviews in 1987 with 150 female single parents on
social assistance. 85% were interviewed two years
later. A comparative group of 150 employed single
parents have also been interviewed.

ESSENTIAL ROLE OF THE SINGLE PARENT FAMILY
WITHIN THE STEPFAMILY. Gamache, Susan. Dept. of
Counselling Psychology, Faculty of Education, Simon Fraser
Univ., Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada V5A 1S6.
The effect of continuity of single-parerit family
relationships on stepfamily adjustment was assessed. Fortynine students 19-21) yrs, who had become stepchildren
between 12-18 yrs were tested using a questionnaire
developed from eight subscales of The Stepfamily
Adjustment Scale. Time in the single-parent family, time
since the remarriage, and the peer-like quality of the parentchild relationship were also tested.
Using a multiple
regression, persistence of the single-parent family
relationships, predicted pos1t1 ve adjustment (R 2 =.54,
p<.OOOI ).
Contrary tu notions of child development,
continuity of adolescent roles and responsibilities regarding
younger siblings and household issues predicted positive
stepfamily adjustment. Also, a peer-like quality in the
biological parent-child relationship exerted a positive
influence on adjustment whereas time and demographic
variables did not. Implications for empirical and theoretical
work in stepfamily development, education, and clinical
practise are discussed.

Us~urd, Lisall and Sanders, Gregory

Fargo, ND 58105
In this study, the st.epgnmdparent/ stepgrandchild
relatiooshlp was investigated by utilizing a case study
approach. An interview questionnaire was developed
and implemented by conducting face-to-face and phone
interviews with five families. The interviews
included a st.epg:mndparent, stepgrnndchild. and
stepparent in each family system. The results
indicated (a) that the age of the stepgrandchild at the
time of remarriage appeared to affect the participant's
peECeption of the relationship, (b) the amount of
cootact was important to the relationship, (c) the
stepparent played an important role in the
st.epgmndparent/stepgrnndchild relationship, and (d) all
of the subjects viewed the stepgrandparent role
similarly to the grandparent role, with the exception
of historical differences. The in-depth examination of
the stepgrandparent/ stepgrandchild relationship in
these case studies yielded a wealth of information not
currently available in the literature.
SINGLE MOTHERS' USE OF CHILD CARE.
Atkinson, Alice, Div. of Curriculum and

City IA 52242.
Almost one out four children lives in
a family headed by a single mother but
little information is available concerning mothers' use of child care.
Telephone interviews were conducted
with 144 never and formerly married mothers and 841 randomly sampled married
mothers. Significant differences were
found for individual and family characteristics between single and married
mothers as well as their use of child
care. Differences remained after mothers' employment was controlled. Family
and child care variables were correlated
at a significant level.
Single mothers were more apt to use
relatives for child care and fewer gave
high ratings of quality. Professionals
working with single mothers and their
children should be aware of how single
parent families differ from intact families in resources and patterns of child
care. Support from the Spelman Rockefeller Child Research Seed Grant.

Descriptive data from a panel study
of stepparent/adolescent stepchild
relations are reported.
Data were from
remarried couples and an adolescent
stepchild in 67 families that were interviewed in 1985 and again in 1989.
Indepth interviews and questionnaires were
given to all family members.
Steprelationships generally became
less close over time.
This may have been
due to a decrease in family closeness; it
also may be that developmental changes
in the adolescent were factors.
Since
the stepparent/stepchild relationship is
more tenuous than biological parent/child
relations stepparents may have easier
targets for rebellious behaVior as the
child attempted to develop autonomy from
the family.
This paper reports results of a
study using information collected in
1986-1991
for patients admitted for
short-term psychiatric care to a large
general hospital. The study was designed as a preliminary exploration of
gender differences in the association
of family characteristics with mental
illness. Persistent gender differences
were found in family characteristics
and in route of entry into care, regardless of diagnosis.
In a more detailed analysis of a sub-sample of mood
disordered
patients,
gender-family
differences were found which related
predominantly to the onset of depressive episodes, the route of initiation
of contact and the nature and duration
of treatment. This study provides insights into the gender-family-mental

THE STEPPARENT ROLE - A GENDER PERSPECTIVE
Irene Levin, University of Trondheim,
~ 1055 Dragvoll, Norway.
The purpose of the study was to
examine the relationship of stereotypic
sex role expectations for male superiority and couple satisfaction. Young adults
in committed relationships (n=69 couples)
independently completed questions about
satisfaction with the relationship and
expectations about their own abilities
compared to those of their partner.
Couples were classified as traditional,
egalitarian, or mixed.
No differences in satisfaction were
found between traditional and egalitarian
couples. Couples where both partners
agreed were more satisfied than those who
disagreed. Males were more likely than
females to be egalitarian, and couples
more often were traditional than eg~li
tarian.
Implications for research and
education are discussed.
The role of a stepparent is technically
gender neutral. Being "step" indicates
that the person is married to or cohabiting with the child's parent. But the
prefix "step" also indicates a distance
compared to the parental role.
In a qualitative study of the social
reality of the stepfamily the roles of the
stepparents have been studied. All members
of the stepfamily household of five years
and more are interviewed.
Women's roles regardless of being mothers
or stecmothers are more or less the same
in thi~ sample; they do the housework and
take care of relationships. The stepmother's
role does not imply that she should wash
clothes and dishes, but the traditional
female role does. The step role indicates
a certain distance - the female role the
opposite. There is a dilemma in the
combination of step and female roles.
One cannot be distant and close at the same
time. The dilemma is "solved" by the female
role "conquering" the step role.
19
This dilemma does not show up for males.
The step role indicates distance and so
does the male role.

GIRLS OR BOYS? RELATIONSHIP OF CHILD GENDER TO MARITAL STABILITY IN DUAL-EARNER
AND SINGLE-EARNER FAMILIES. Aphra R. Katzev,
Alan C. Acock, Dept. of Hum. Dev. & Fam. Stud.,
Rebecca L. Warner, Dept. of Soc., OR State Univ.,
Corvallis, OR 97331.
On the basis of studies which report higher levels of
paternal participation in family life when all children are
boys, we predicted that mothers in male child only
families would perceive ·a greater likelihood of marital
stability than mothers in female child only families. Data
from the 1987-88 National Survey of Families and
Households was used and a sub-sample of married women
with children under the age of 18 was analyzed (N =
1,378).
Mothers with boys only report a significantly lower
likelihood of divorcing their spouse compared to mothers
with girls only. A path analysis (R2 for likelihood of
separation= .111, p < .001) suggests this relationship is
mediated by other variables. Fathers in boys only families
are more involved with the children than fathers in girls
only families. When fathers spend more time with
children, mothers perceive less disadvantage in their
marital relationship and a lower likelihood of separation.
Mothers' employment outside the home does not directly
affect their perceived likelihood of separation but does
increase father involvement with the children and maternal
non-traditional family ideology.

GENDER, GENDER ROLE IDENTITY, AND NEED
FULFILLMENT IN MARITAL RELATIONSHIPS: A
COMPARISON OF MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE SEXUALLY
ABUSED CHILDREN. Craig M. Allen and Hertry L.
Pothast, HDFS Dept., Iowa State Univ.,
Ames, LA 50011-1120.
The literature available for female and male
child sexual abusers is consistent with the
broader literature on gender differences, which
suggests that women seek emotional intimacy in
their relationships while men seek inttmacy
through sexual fulfillment. These ideas were
explored by examining the relationship of gender, gender role identity and child sexual
abuse perpetration with need fulfillment in
marital relationships. Data were obtained from
65 female and 75 male offenders whose names
were on state child abuse registries, and from
52 men and 64 women drawn in a statewide RDD
sample. Findings indicate that offenders are
significantly less fulfilled in their marital
relationships than men and women in the RDD
sample. When controlled for gender identity,
however, there are no significant differences
between men and women for either offenders or
the RDD sample with respect to sexual need
fulfillment, but that there were difference
between genders in both groups with respect to
emotional need fulfillment, with women and
female offenders in particular being least
fulfilled. Implications for the findings are
discussed. Supported by the National Council
on Child Abuse and Neglect.
This study conceptualizes generativity as rolespecific, rather than treating it as a global personal
characteristic as many existing studies have done.
We hypothesized that midlife women would report
being more generative in a given role when they devoted
a lot of time to a role, felt that the role was important
relative to other roles, and were emotionally committed to
and satisfied with that role. Regressions on data from 61
women showed that aspects of involvement in a particular
role had little to do with generativity.
However,
generativity also was not simply a trait of the respondent,
since there was considerable intra-individual variability
across roles. Generativity was linked to family stage and
to "off-time" life events. Generativity and its correlates
differed across roles.

Women's increased participation in
the
workforce
makes
retirement

normative
live
event

many.
Preparation for the retirement stage of
life is essential if quality of life is
to be maintained in the retirement
years. Although women's work lives are
traditionally believed to be determined
by family dimensions, little is know
about
the
retirement
planning
and
attitudes of midlife working women and
the influence of family characteristics.
This
study
examined
these
relationships in 1245 women between the
ages of 40 and 65 employed at five
western land grant university. Most of
the women were married with over 37% of
them in professional positions.
52% of the women looked forward to
retirement. 44% had made no plans about
where or when to retire.

none of the specific planning behaviors
examined.
The influence of family members on

ECONOMIC WELL-BEING AND MARITAL DISSOLUTION
Atlee L. Stroup (Soc.-Emer) and Gene Pollock (Econ),
The College of Wooster, Ohio, 44691.
This paper focuses on the economic aftermath of
divorce.
Studies, in general, support the idea of
economic down-turn for females; results for males
are less clear.
It is the writers' contention that
socio-economic status and race as well as gender
should be controlled in divorce impact studies. The
present cross-sectional study uses a 5-year block of
GSS survey data for analysis. Divorced-separated
respondents are compared with married, by gender
and race.
Divorced-separated females (bl and w)
reported significantly lower average family incomes
than their married counterparts, the same obtained
for white males. Divorced-separated black males did
not differ significantly from black married males on
family income. A series of regression equations, for
white and black females and white males, was developed with family income as the dependent variable. A
series of control variables and the dummy variable
divorced-separated vs. married (marital status)
were independent variables.
After controls, the
marital status variable usually made significant
contributions to the equation. Comparisons of the
equations are made and research and policy
implications, especially regarding women and
children, are discussed.

perspective, comparing gender
variations across the life span in
four recent national samples.
Three sets of analyses are used
to (a) compare the prevalence of
women's and men's extramarital sexual
behavior throughout the adult years;
(b) compare extramarital sex to
non-monogamous sexual behavior of
nonmarried respondents; and (c)
explore the correlates of men's and

A NEW APPROACH FOR ASSESSING
INTERPERSONAL BEHAVIOR
Carol Lynn Martin, Dept. of Fam. Resources &
Human Dev., Arizona State Univ., Tempe, AZ 85287.
The purpose of the present study was to use a new
method of assessing interpersonal behavior to
investigate gender differences.
Rather than
assessing interpersonal behavior using _llillt
measures that assess typical behavior, the new
method is based on measuring individuals'
capabilities to perform various behaviors given the
demands placed on them by different situations.
Gender differences are commonly found in studies of
interpersonal behavior when trait measures are used.
The expectation was that many gender differences
would disappear when interpersonal capabilities are
assessed. 380 undergraduates completed both trait
and capability rating scales for 16 interpersonal
attributes (e.g., dominance, nurturance). Analyses of
variance were used to compare the pattern of gender
differences on the trait and capability scales. On the
trait ratings, gender differences were found on 8 out
of 16 attributes. On the capability scale, only 4 out of
16 gender differences were found. The results
suggest that findings of gender differences depend
on the type of questions asked. The capability
approach provides a new perspective for
understanding interpersonal behavior.

Roles or stereotypes of roles are often

The comic strip "Blondie" was analyzed
from 1942 to 1991 at three points in
time: 1942, 1951, 1991. Cartoons were
analyzed by Blondie's dress and
activities.
Blondie's development in style has
been from a purely domestic, sexy lady
to a more mature, sophisticated woman
with a part-time job.
She has evolved
both in style and family role.
In 1942
she wears frilly dresses and an apron,
in 1951 she is still frilly and
domestic, but by 1991 she is a tailored,
working mother fixing quick meals.
Cartoons reflect a society, and

roles.
BEYOND THE SUPERWOMAN SYNDROME:
WORK
SATISFACTION AND FAMILY FUNCTIONING AMONG
WORKING-CLASS HISPANIC WOMEN. DelCampo, Robert L. and
Herrera, Ruth S., Department of Home Economics, New Mexico
State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003-0003.
The past several decades have witnessed economic and social
changes that have impacted on work-family patterns, with increasing
numbers of women joining the labor force. Hispanic women have
joined this trend, expanding their traditional roles as homemakers to
include those of working women. The number of dual-earner
Hispanic families is expected to continue rising and it is estimated that
by the year 2000, 57% of Hispanic women will participate in the labor
force.
Hispanic families have been described as having traditional gender
roles. These gender roles may have been congruent with previous
work-family patterns when the husband was the sole provider and the
wife remained at home. As Hispanic wives join the labor force and
contribute economic resources, what are their attitudes regarding their
multiple roles and how do these attitudes influence work and family
satisfaction? Are working-class Hispanic wives following in the
footsteps of their Anglo counterparts and subscribing to the
"superwoman syndrome"?
This research investigates the sex role attitudes of blue-collar
Hispanic wives and the interaction between these attitudes and division
of household and childcare responsibilities, role strain, work
satisfaction and family functioning. Additionally, this study assesses
the satisfaction of employed Hispanic wives with their own m~ltiple
roles and the roles of their husbands and asks them which areas they
desire to change.
The results of this research can offer information on employmentfamily patterns among working-class Hispanic wives.
This
information can increase family scientists' awareness of potential
issues among this ethnic group and assist them in developing
appropriate interventions.

Evaluation
of

one- and two-earner families was based
on McCubbin's stress theory.
A random
sample of one-earner (!!=75) and twoearner (n=l84) families completed a
mailed questionnaire.
The data were
analyzed with discriminant analyses.
Two-earner families had more income,
debt, and help from others than their
counterparts. One-earner families were
less satisfied with finances, but more
satisfied with
family
life.
No
differences were found in savings, net
worth, stress, or satisfaction with
rural life. Conclusions were: a second
income contributes more to
family
maintenance than to wealth, families
adapt to the two-earner lifestyle, and
when wives work there are tradeoffs
between satisfaction with finances and
family life.
These findings can be
used to help families make realistic

SOURCES OF SPILLOVER FROM WORK TO
FAMILY: STRESSFUL ASPECTS OF JOBS.
Pittman, Joe F. and Lamke, Leanne K. Dept. of
Family & Child Development, Auburn Univ., Auburn,
AL 36849.
This study examines the utility of several aspects of
job satisfaction as predictors of stressful spillover from
work to the marital and parental roles in a middleclass sample (n=123, 62 males, 61 females) of
married, working parents in S.E. Alabama.
Respondents' mean age was 42, and the average
family had 1.56 children.
Using hierarchical
regression, we account for 38% of the variance in
spillover. Only 10% was due to structural/background
factors (work hours increased, but education
decreased spillover, while sex, age, income, & number
of kids had no impact). Attitudes explained 26% of
the variance. Satisfaction with the job & the
resources available for its performance were related
to less spillover, dissatisfaction with the benefits of
the job was related to more. Unexpectedly, spillover
was not related to being trapped in one's job. It
seems job satisfaction can reduce the experience of
stressful spillover into family roles.

FACTORS INFLUENCING DIFFERENTIAL
EXPERIENCE AND MANAGEMENT OF
STRESS. Jeanne M. Lorentzen and
Janet L. Bokemeier, Dept. of Soc.,
MI 48824
We predicted that stress in
the workplace would be experienced
differently by men and women and
that family, serving as a social
resource would lessen the negative
impact of job stress. A self-administered survey was completed by a
random sample (g=l636) of students
and faculty at a large, midwestern
university. Stress was measured
using a scale (Q=.83) created from
survey items asking about the experience of stress. Preliminary
analysis shows:l)gender differences
in the experience of stress; 2)work
related differences in stress, such
that faculty and students differ in
experience of stressful behavior
and report different levels of
stress; and 3)a difference in level
of reported stress is related to
marital status and the presence of
children in the household.

PERCEIVED BENEFITS OF "FAMILY-FRIENDLY"
WORKPLACE POLICIES. Monroe, P. & Seyler,
~, School of Human Ecology, LA St Univ,
Baton Rouge, LA, 70803.
With exchange theory as a framework,
several factors were identified that are
shifting the balance of power in the
workplace: (a) predicted shortage of
workers; (b) greater numbers of skilled
and educated working women; (c) more
women in management positions; (d) men's
demands for time with their families;
and (e) competitiveness of companies
offering
benefit
options
to
ease
work/family conflicts. Of interest here
was whether executives in companies with
"family-friendly"
policies
perceived
such policies as beneficial to their
business, and whether this attitude
predicted the offering of such policies.
Other data also were analyzed for their
impact
on
the
decision
to
offer
benefits.
36 executives,
randomly
selected and from a wide variety of
businesses, participated in extensive
interviews.
The variable, "perceived
degree
of
employees'
child
care
problems" predicted the offering of such
benefits. Overall, executives were very
positive about the effects of the
benefit options their company offered.
Implications
for the workplace and
public policy are discussed.

This study obtained responses from
655 college students to questions about
their expectations for four adult life
roles: work, marital, parental and
homecare.
Students completed the 40item Life Role Salience Scales (LRSS).
Significant differences were found
between male and female students with
male students indicating higher value of
and commitment to occupational roles and
females scoring higher on commitment to
marital, parental and homecare roles.
Students from intact families scored
significantly higher on parental and·
marital role values and commitments and
lower in occupational role comrndtments
than students from single-parent and
stepfamilies. future adult life roles.
Implications for family life education
are discussed, including the possible
use of the LRSS to assist students in
clarifying their expectations.
Part-time work has been used by many (especially women) as a way to combine family
and work commitments. However, organizations have not viewed upper-level jobs as
appropriate for part-time configuration
and part-time work has often constituted
"Mommy Trae k" career traps. The exlstence
·
of upper-level part-time professional and
managerial work contributes to contradict~
ing these assessments and may be a way of
combining family involvement with career
success. This paper discusses these points
and presents findings about the growth of
part-time professional and managerial jobs
--with focus on accounting, law, academe,
banks and other corporations, and the
federal government. It concludes by .
considering how part-time professional
and managerial work may bolster family
involvement, career success, and gender

EMERGING FACI'ORS IN WORK/FAMILY
INTERFERENCE ISSUES: IMPLICATIONS FOR A
MIDWEST COMPANY. Mebrotra. Jena. Child Devt.
& Fam. Sc., NDSU, Gebe)re. Debra, Exm Ser., NDSU,
Fargo, ND 58105.
Two-income families face particular problems in
balancing work and family life. To examine factors
affecting this balance we replicated a study addressing
the relationship between job characteristics, work/family
interference (personal, job, marital, parenting,
psychological spillover), strain and marital outcomes
with a random sample of women and men (N=213) from
a mid-western company. Prelimnary multivariate
analyses were used to test three hypotheses. Results
indicated that job characteristics were significant in
predicting psychological spillover (p<O.OOl), parenting
(p<O.OOl), personal interference(p<O.OOOl), and marital
interference (p<O.OOOl) but not marital outcomes.
Work/family interference variables were significant in
predicting marital happiness (p<0.01) and tension
(p<O.OOOl). Strain Gob satisfaction, physiological
symptoms and stress), when added to the regression
equation resulted in a significant increment for some
work/family dimensions. Correlation analyses indicated
that supervisor sensitivity was significantly related to
work/family interference dimensions.We therefore
recommend that companies continue to pursue a family
friendly policy focused on work/family interference
dimensions. Successful implementation can be achieved
when built around cultivated supervisor sensitivity.
WORK SHIFT AND CHILD CARE ARRANGEMENTS:
FAMILY CORRELATES. Bowers, Susan and
Davis, Albert, Ph.D., College of Human
Ecology, Ohio State University, Columbus,
Ohio 43210.
Previous research examining workfamily linkages has offered various
hypotheses about the relationship between
parental employment and caregiving respon
sibilities. However, few studies to date
have examined this relationship in the
context of work shift. This study sought
to describe the family correlates, by
gender, of a sample of employees who
worked non-days. Data suggest a higher
percentage of non-day workers rely on
their spouse for child care than those
who work during the day. Likewise,
differences were found for patterns of
use and ease of finding care between
males and females. Policies must be
implemented within the workplace in·
order to foster more supportive family
interface, particularly for women.

Perry-Jenkins. Maureen,
Gillman-Hanz, Sally, Division of Human Development
and Family Studies, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL
61801
This investigation examined linkages between
aspects of paid work, individual well-being, and·
parenting in two family contexts: single-parent and twoparent families. It was hypothesized that single mothers
and fathers in dual-earner situations would exhibit more
similar patterns of relationships among work and family
factors than employed mothers in dual-earner families.
47 single mothers and 51 dual-earner couples participated
in home interviews where data on work environment,
self-esteem, depression, and role overload were collected.
A target child between the ages of 8 and 12 provided
data on quality of parenting. Correlations revealed that
aspects of work were significantly related to fathers'
well-being, modestly related to single mothers' wellbeing, and not related to the mental health of dual-earner
mothers.
In contrast, fmdings linking work and
children's assessment of parenting indicated that positive
work experiences for single mothers were related to sons
positive evaluations of their parenting, whereas for
fathers, positive work evaluations were linked to more
negative assessments of parenting by their sons.
This study examined the associations
between occupational characteristics, the
nature of leisure involvement, and the extent to which husbands and wives engaged
in leisure activities together and alone
among 66 dual~earner couples. The p~edic
tions of four models of the work-le1sure
relationship (spillover, compensation,
crossover, and neutrality) were tested.
Results indicated no unequivocal support for any of the four conceptualizations linking work and leisure. The frequency with which husbands engaged in leisure alone supported both crossover and
neutrality predictions, while wives 1 results revealed some support for the predictions of all four models. The best predictor of leisure companionship appeared
to be the extent to which spouses were
similar in their perceptions of routinization in the workplace.

University Park, PA 16802.
We examined relationships among
paternal financial dissatisfaction,
paternal depression, and early
adolescents~ self-esteem, using data
from the fourth wave of a longitudinal
study--focused on work, parenting, and
development--of 153 families. Parents
and children reported on their feelings
about themselves and their relationship
with family members. Analysis of
variance with repeated measures revealed
a significant interaction such that boys
had lower self-esteem under conditions
of high paternal depression and high
paternal financial dissatisfaction
whereas girls exhibited the lowest
self-esteem when fathers were
dissatisfied with finances but not
depressed. The relationship between
fathers distress and children s
self-esteem appeared to be mediated by
perceptions of the child.

Marie Osmond and Kate Wambach, Dept. of
Sociology & School of Social Work,Florida
State Univ., Tallahassee, FL 32306.
The research question is how are
risk behaviors associated with sex work
and gender issues interrelated to
influence family stability. The data
are from an interview survey of 620
women at high risk of contracting AIDS.
Risk behaviors include substance abuse,
condom use, and characteristics of the
main partner (spouse or lover) . Gender
includes attitudes and negotiation
behaviors with partners. The family
stability indicator is frequency of
living with dependent children. We
applied step-wise AOV and covariance.
Results demonstrate significant interaction effects among these variables.
The most influential predictors of
keeping children with mothers are risks
associated with sex work.

Vlrglnia Tech, Blacksburg, VA23320
This study addresses the continued viability of heterosexualitv
for feminists, specifically in theform of marriage. The oppressive
nature of traditional marriage is
well known to family scholars who
are familiar with feminist critiques of the family.
What is not
known is the experience of feminists, female and male, who are
trying to tranform marriage into a
relationship based on equality and
a valuing of women and men. This
presentation highlights the lives
of 10 couples who were feminists
prior to marriage & have been
married for at least 5 years. Many
of the women consider marriage to
be enpowering rather than restric~ive.
These couples report a
strong commitment to feminist beliefs and to one another.

INTERGENERATIONAL TRANSMISSION OF PARENTING
PRACTICES. Beaman Jay. Ronald L. Simons, Dept. of
Sociology, Iowa State University, Ames, lA 50010.
While researchers have begun to document the impact of
beliefs upon parenting practices, almost no studies have
investigated the origin of beliefs about parenting. The
present study tested several hypotheses regarding the
manner in which adolescent's beliefs concerning both
effective discipline and the impact of parenting upon child
development are associated with the parenting beliefs and
prd.ctices of their parents. The hypotheses were tested using
data collected as part of the first two waves of a panel study
focusing upon 451 two-parent families living in the
midwest. The results largely supported the hypotheses.
The findings indicated that mothers and fathers convey their
parenting beliefs to their adolescent children via their
parenting practices.
Parents' supportive parenting was
more strongly related to the impact beliefs of girls than
boys, while parents' harsh discipline, at least during late
adolescence, was more closely related to the discipline
beliefs of boys than girls. Finally, female siblings held
similar beliefs concerning the impact of parenting upon
child development, whereas male siblings possessed similar
beliefs concerning preferred approaches to discipline.

INFERTILITY: THE COST OF "HAVING IT ALL"?
Barbara Burks Fasse, GA State Univ., Atlanta, GA 30303·.
Many couples and individuals postpone pregnancy
and parenthood until they have established some measure
of occupational, financial, and marital security. In the
popular lexicon of a pronatalistic society this is referred
to, often disparagingly, as "having it all" -- career
marriage, children, and economic stability. However, th~
cost of this delay is sometimes high, resulting in a
diagnosed fertility problem for one of five couples.
This report is based on qualitative data from conjoint
int~rviews with couples managing a fertility problem.
Usmg an open-ended discussion agenda data were
concurrently collected and analyzed using the Glaser &
Strauss (1967) constant comparative method.
This study explores the determinants of the perception
of fairness of the division of household chores and child
care for dual-earners with children. The sample (77
women and 94 men) were taken from a national
telephone interview conducted in 1991 concerning time
pressure in work and family domains. Separate
regression analyses were performed for men and women
as well as for household chores and child care. Patterns
of family task sharing were related to the perception of
fairness. Depending on gender and type of task,
differences in feelings of fairness were also related to
residence, religion, education, frequency of help with
chores from other people, and presence of children or
step children outside the home who visit regularly.
Although the small sample size and lack of data on.
respondent's spouse may limit the reliability of the
present findings, this study demonstrates that factors
other than actual division of labor can influence
perception of the fairness. Further, there were gender
differences and task differences in the determinants of the
perception of fairness.

of their dailiness. Students often work part-time in
addition to taking classes and fulfilling practicum and
internship requirements. In addition, many students also
have family commitments.
In this paper clinical faculty describe how they work
together to create a context that both encourages the
student's feelings of competence and the sense of a
"healthy" family among faculty and students. Graduate
students also share their reflections on the process.

We explored attitudes and expectations of men
(!!=535) and women (!!=821) university students
concerning their future career and family roles. Attitudes
toward and expectations for career, parenting, and marital
roles were measured by scales (the TAM, EAR, and ERF
scales) developed by the authors and subjected to factor
analyses and the Lifestyle Performance Scale (Mash,
1978). The data were analyzed using ANOV A's and
Tukey tests. Women were found to be sig. less traditional
in their attitudes toward parenting, to hold more egalitarian
attitudes toward marital roles, and to expect more role
frustration in their future career/family roles as compared
with men. Conclusions and implications of the study for
educators and other professionals are discussed.
A COMPARISON OF TWO SELF-CONCEPTION
DISPARITY METHODS AS OPERATIONALIZED WITHIN
AN ADOLESCENT POPULATION D. Kim Openshaw,
Ph.D, Utah State University, Logan, UT, 84322-2905;
Diane Marie Stuart, iVi.S., Director CAPSA, Logan, UT.
Two methods of ~;omputing self-conception
disparity were compared and contrasted, namely: (a)
the often-used "subtraction-absolute value method"
(e.g., Achenbach & Zigler, 1963; Rogers & Dymond,
1954) and (b) a "ratio method" devised for this study
which was based on the work of James (1890) who
conceptualized self-esteem as the quotient of one's
successes to one's pretensions.
Results of the study indicate that the two
methods share only a minimal amount of common
variance, thus suggesting that they are either not
measuring what they purport or that they may be
accounting for different phenomena relative to selfesteem. In comparing the two methods for their
ability to predict common external variables that have
been correlated with self-esteem, the results indicate
that the "ratio method" accounts for a greater
proportion of the variance than does the "subtractionabsolute value formula."
While more research is recommended to
ferret out which method of calculating self-conception
disparity is of greatest utility, the results of this study
suggest that the "ratio method" appears to lend itself
more accurately to conceptualizing the nature of selfconception disparity.

A theory of filial morality
derived from intBrviews with 80
middle-aged snns and daughters
about their relationships with at
least one parent is that filial
obligation is a step in the
process toward filial maturity.
Filial obligation is when the
parent and/or adult child expect
the child to take care of the
parent, even if the parent is not
infirm,
Filial maturity is when
the parent and/or adult child
treat each other as adults, even
if the parent is infirm,
Problems occur when the parent
and child are on different steps,
The transition from obligation to
filial maturity is made when the
child or parent reclaims self,
Because high cost of health
insurance and employment
dislocations are impacting upon
accessibility of health care for
families, concern for planning
for families is critical. Data
from the 1987 Delaware Household
Survey was used to investigate

health planning.
Path analysls
suggests race, educational
attainment, and income are

Academic research can play an important role in the
family policy debate, but most researchers have limited
experience in transforming research into a form that is
accessible to policy makers and the public. The round
table is designed to provide concrete techniques for
providing more direct input of academic research into the
public policy debate.
The leaders have considerable experience in
presenting research findings to policy makers, the general
public and the media. It will focus on the preparation and
dissemination of written materials, such as fact sheets and
press releases. It will include (1) what strategies work and
what pitfalls exist, (2) concrete case examples of effective
fact sheets, (3) methods for disseminating these materials
effectively, and (4) the opportunity for transforming a
short research article into a fact sheet and press release.
Questionnaire data from
1481 rural high
school students showed that there were
gender-based differences in employment and
attitudes toward work.
For both males and
females, employment status was significantly
related to only two work-related attitudes:
the intrinsic rewards of work and social
acceptance. There were no significant
relationships between the number of hours
worked weekly and work-related attitudes.
However, males are more likely to be employed,
to begin work earlier, to receive higher pay,
and work longer hours than females.
Therefore, there appears to be differential
socialization for males and females.

Out of long experience counseling women in
this sector, it became clear
that amoung women whom were
professionally competent and
successful, numbers felt badly

and Child Dev., Virginia Tech,
Blacksburg, VA 23320
Research on the impact of land titling on women
in Kenya will be discussed. The focus will be on
women's access to land and credit and to changes in
household responsibilities. The underlying theme of
the discussion will examine the processes by which
women and households are integrated into the political
economy of developing nations, along with the
outcomes of these processes for women's and
children's health and well-being.
This presentation highlights
the variety of nonacademic
positions available through the
military family support centers
for professionals with bachelor's
and graduate degrees and offers
tips on locating jobs within this
system.
S?ecific positions will
be described for professionals
with expertise in child development, adult development, family
studies and marriage and family
therapy.
Deadlines for the 1993 Certified
Family Life Educator Reviews are
May 3 and September 3, 1993. Call

THE NATIONAL SURVEY OF FAMILIES AND
HOUSEHOLDS - THE DESIGN AND CONTENT
OF THE 1992 FOLLOW-UP. Call, Vaughn R.A.,
Center for Demography and Ecology, U. of Wisconsin,
Madison, WI 53706.
The National Survey of Families and Households
(NSFH) is one of the most important current data
sources for family researchers. The 1992 follow-up
provides important longitudinal data on a nationally
representative sample of over 13,000 respondents and
their families.
In this didactic seminar, I present a detailed
description of the research design for the follow-up of
the NSFH respondents, their current spouse, any
former spouse from time 1, their children (the focal
child age 5-11 or 12-18 at time 1), and their parents
(parents age 60 and older). I review the content of
each of the survey instruments.
This seminar will provide participants all the
information and survey materials they need to get a
head start on research plans and funding proposals
utilizing the NSFH longitudinal data.

Students at a large state university in

completed
self-administered
questionnaires
about
their
dating
experiences (N=418).
Traditional gender
role expectations and behavior persist in
regard
to
date
initiation,
financial
responsibility,
development
of
sexual
intimacy,
and
qualities
sought
in
a
partner.
Bivariate comparisons suggest
that women adhere to tradition more closely
than men.
Women are twice as likely to
agree that males have the right to initiate
dates and to encourage sexual encounters.
Women and men are equally likely to believe
males should pay for date expenses early in
the relationship. Women were unwilling to
date men who couldn't pay and men were
hesitant to ask women out if they couldn't
do so.
In actuality, most of the men
rarely asked dates to contribute to date
expenses and few women volunteered to do
so.
Women are also more likely to be
concerned with a date's family background
and career potential. Associations between
dating norms,
relative resources,
and
power-dependence
are
assessed
in
a
multivariate context.

GENDER ROLES AND INTERPERSONAL
COMPETENCE: IMPLICATIONS FOR ROMANTIC
RELATIONSHIPS. Leanne Lamke, Donna Sollie, Robin
Durbin, Jacki Fitzpatrick, Dept. of Fam. & Child Dev.,
Auburn Univ., Auburn, AL 36849.
A multivariate causal model was developed and
tested to assess a conceptual model of gender-role
influences on satisfaction in dating relationships. The
primary questions were: (a) is the relationship between
masculinity, femininity, and satisfaction mediated by
expressive and instrumental competence?, (b) do
perceptions' of partners' femininity predict satisfaction?,
and (c) does partners' actual femininity and expressive
competence predict perceptions of partners' femininity?
Dating couples (n=174) completed the Personal Attributes
Questionnaire, the Interpersonal Competence
Questionnaire, and the Relationship Assessment Scale.
Results indicated that for both males and females,
satisfaction was related to their own levels of expressive
competence and to perceptions of their partner as
feminine. Also, levels of expressive competence mediated
the relationship between self-perceptions of femininity and
satisfaction.
For females, perceptions of partner's
femininity were predicted by male's and female's selfperceived femininity. For males, perceptions of partner's
femininity were predicted by female's self-perceived
femininity and male's self-perceived masculinity. (213-04)

METHOD OF MATE SElECTION AND ITS IMPACT
ON SPOUSE RELATION.
Dr.Rekha Gosalia, Doctorate Thesis submitted to
Dept.of Sociology, Gujarat University, Ahmedabad,
India.
In a transitional society like India mainly 3 methods
of mate selection predominate.
(1)
Selection by elders and parents in family
represents traditional method.
(2) Self selection, a method prevalent in most of the
developed Western Countries.
(3) Synthesis method, i.e. self-selection with the
consent of family members.
The study concerns the method of mate selection
and its impact on spouse relations. For 'interview
schedule' 50 male and 50 female in the age group of
31-40 and the same number for the age group of 4150 were selected through 'snowball' technique, from
elite class in the metropolis of Bombay. The study
revealed the shift in preferred and appropriate method
of mate selection from family selection to synthetic
approach. A large number of respondents who
married by self choice, now recommend synthetic
method as the best method of mate selection. It is
concluded that in spite of the possibility of selfselection, the combined method will be a more
preferred method for ensuring cordial and long lasting
relationship with their spouse and other family
members.

FERTIUTY, CHILDREARING CAREER, WORK/FAMILY TYPE: AN
ANALYSIS OF THE EXPECTATIONS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.
Lenora Wiebe, Nancy Kingsbury, John Bond, Jr., Fam. Stud., Univ. of
Man., Winnipeg, Man., Canada R3T 2N2.
We examined the expectations of students at a midwestern Canadian
univ. in terms of fertility expectations (no. of children expected in one's
lifetime), family formation, gender-role attitude, religiosity, child-bearing,
and childrearing career expectation (length of time one expects to take out
of the labor force to rear children in one's lifetime). The sample (N=234;
139 males and 94 females) was obtained through the process of systematic
random sampling of the Univ. of Man. student phone book. Students were
initially contacted by phone and had to meet specific criteril to participate.
Data were collected by a self-report, mailed questionnaire (82% return rate).
The Sex-Role Preference Inventory (Scanzoni) was u~ed to measure
gender-role attitudes. The Costs and Rewards of Having Children Scale
(Kingsbury) was used to measure the criteria that subject~ used when
deciding whether or not to have children. The Work/F2.rrily Type Scale,
developed specifically for this study, identified L'Ho -::K0'3Cted work and
family lifestyle.
Data analysis included correlations, a 2-way analysis of variance, a
Mann-Whitney test, logistic regression. Results revealed significant relationships between religiosity and gender-role attitude and religious preference and childrearing career. Findings indicated a relationship between female gender-role attitude and (a) dual-career lifestyle, (b) child-rearing
career, and (c) ideal childrearing career. The more modem the gender-role
attitude for females, the more likely the female would be to choose a dualcareer lifestyle, to spend less time out of the labor force to rear children,
and to expect the ideal with a traditional gender-role orientation. Expected
level of education for females and cost factors for males were significant
predictors of .age at first birth. A significant difference was found between
male & female expectations of female child-rearing career. Male subjects
with more traditional gender-role attitudes were more likely to expect the
female partner to have a longer child-rearing career than the female would
expect for herself.
It was concluded that religiosity, gender-role attitude, expected level
of education, & cost factors were related to fertility decision making,
childrearing career, and work/family type. Results are discussed in terms
of choice exchange theory.
DELAYING MARRIAGE: WOMEN'S WORK
EXPERIENCE AND MARITAL TIMING. Theodore
N. Greem;tein, Dept. of Sociology and
Anthropology, North Carolina State Univ.,
Raleigh, NC 27695-8107.
This study examines the simultaneous effects
of multiple indicators of wife's premar:i.tal
employment on the rate and timing of first
marriage :l.n a ten-year longitudinal study of a
national probability sample (N=2,375) of
never-married women ages 14 to 22 years in
1979. Based on a sertes of piecewise constantrate logistic models, the results indicate that .the
employment of women is related to the rate and
timing of marriage, but not in any intuitivelyobvious fashion.
High-income women are
generally less likely to many, while women who
work 50 or more weeks per year are somewhat
more likely to marry, especially at younger ages.
Women who average 20-35 hours per week tend
to be less likely to many than women who work
fewer than 20 hours or those who work more
than 35 hours per week. The findings are
interpreted within a modified household
economics framework.

CO-CREATING A SHARED REALITY W1TH
COUPLES. Lauric B. Levine and Dean M. Busby,
Dept. of Child and Family Studies, Syracuse
University, Syracuse, NY 13210.
Based on constructiYist principles, it is our belief
that partners must co-create a shared with regard to
their relationships. The implication of this theoretical
principle is that differences between partners are not
as important as acceptance of such differences and
the negotiation or a shared space. Flexibility plays a
crucial role 111 this process.
Data 11 ere collected and analyzed on ROO couples
who completed the Preparation for Marriage marital
inventory. These couples ha1·e been in relationships
for at least si\ months. Regression and correlations
coefficients were run on the data. Our findings indicate
that the negotiation of difference is more signiricant in
co-creating a shared reality than similarities bct11·cen
partners. The dat.a analysis supported the a::;surnption
that L:ouplcs 11 ith higher lc1·els of 1le.\1bilit\' arc mmc

The construct of marital conventionalization has been
the subject of considerable debate. Some authors have
argued that marital conventionalization is an important
bias in responses to marital satisfaction scales. Others
have questioned the construct validity of
conventionalization scales. This study investigated the
hypothesis that marital satisfaction and conventionalization
comprise one dimension with a confirmatory factor
analytic approach. Factor analyses were conducted
separately for husbands and wives. The one factor model
was found to be the most parsimonious factor structure for
both men and women.
THE FREQUENCY OF MARITAL SEXUAL
INTERCOURSE. Call, Vaughn R.A., Susan Sprecher,
and Pepper Schwartz, Center for Demography and
Ecology, U. of WI, Madison, WI 53706; Illinois State
U.; U. of Washington.
With the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s,
research on sexuality focused on premarital sex,
extramarital sex, homosexuality, contraception, AIDS,
safe-sex practices, and sexual violence. An area that
has not experienced the same increase in scientific
investigation is "normal" m:arital sexual behavior.
In this paper we use the National Survey of Families
and Households (Sweet, Bumpass, & Call, 1988) to
provide a current, comprehensive description of the
frequency of marital sex and to investigate the impacts
of numerous social and aging factors on marital sex.
Currently married respondents age 19 and older
(N =6800) report having sex about 6 to 7 times a
month, ranging from about 11 times a month for those
age 24 and younger to less than 1 time a month for
those age 75 and older. There are few gender and race
differences in reported frequency but numerous
differences in the social factors that increase or
decrease the incidence of marital sex by age.

WOMEN'S RESPONSES TO FAMILY-OF-ORIGIN
EXPERIENCES DURING PREGNANCY. Walzer,
Susan, Dept. of Sociology, University at
Albany, State University of New York,
Albany, NY 12222.
This study in progress examines first
pregnancy as a transition during which
women newly confront their physical,
psychological, and social experiences,
in large part through a reassessment of
their families-of -origin. Findings will
be based on an analysis of in-depth interviews with a sample of women (anticipated n=20) gathered through prenatal
classes at the only hospital in a small
city in upstate NY. Preliminary findings
indicate that women's relationships with
their mothers in particular are a primary
context through which information and
norms about the institution of motherhood
are transmitted, and women encounter
these in a heightened way during first
pregnancy. These initial results suggest
that pregnancy is a time during which,
along with profound physical changes,
women in this sample experience themselves and gender role expectations in
a new way.

This study examines the ways in which
similarity or homogamy of personality variables
between partners in a relationship is related to the
stability of the relationship. Data obtained using
~he .P~ep-M questionnaire (n=2818); containing
Individual reports of personal functioning
rel~vant to emotional health, emotional maturity,
self-esteem and dependence; were analyzed in
comparison with dating-partner reports on the
same measurements. The degree of difference
b~tween these two sets of data was then paired
wtth the_ couple's reported satisfaction with, and
sense of sta,bility in the relationship. Findings
support ~he hypothesis that similarity of
personality 1s not a good predictor of
relationship stability. There is, however, a direct
positive relationship between the possession of
emotional health, emotional maturity, and selfesteem by either or both partners and measures of
stability.

DELAYED CHILDBEARING: A CANADIAN STUDY OF FERTILITY EXPECTATIONS, CHILDREARING CAREERS, AND FERTILITY DECISION-MAKING FACTORS. Janine Gaudry, Nancy Kingsbury, Carol D. H. Harvey, Fam. Stud., U of Man., Winnipeg, Man.,
Canada R3 T 2N2.
We examined the differences among delayed bearers (had or expected to have their 1st child at age 30 or later), early bearers, and
childless individuals on fertility expectation (total no. of children that
individuals had or expected to have in their lifetime), child-rearing
career (total no. of years of employment interruption taken or expected
to take for childrearing purposes), and the importance of certain factors
on fertility decision making. In-person interviews were conducted on
a systematic random sample of 245 male and 283 female (N=528)
Winnipeg residents as part of the 1988 Winnipeg Area Study. The
secondary analysis conducted on this data set included the following
procedures: Kruskall-Wallis 1-way analysis of variance, discriminant
analysis, and Kendall's Tau correlation procedure.
Results revealed that delayers were similar to early bearers and
childless individuals on most of the demographic characteristics. Results demonstrated that delayed bearers had lower fertility expectations
than early bearers but similar childrearing careers. Highly religious
individuals had higher fertility expectations than less religious individuals. Individuals with more modern gender-role attitudes had lower
fertility expectations than more traditional subjects. In terms of childrearing career, results indicated that religious strength was not related
to time taken or expected to be taken out of the labor force; and more
modem gender-role attitudes were associated with less time out of the
labor force for child-rearing purposes. Delayed and early bearers were
found to be similar in terms of the importance of time/stress/energy
and relationship with partner factors in their fertility decision making;
however, the childless group considered personal reward factors of
having children as less important than the other 2 groups. It was concluded that delayed bearers were not a distinct group as was previously
suggested in the literature, but that they were similar to early bearers
except for the higher levels of education achieved and the lower fertility expectations. Results are discussed in terms of exchange theory.

THE ADOPTION PARADIGM IN REVOLUTION.
Brown, C. Louise and Edwards, Kay P., Brigham
Young University, Provo, UT 84602
Increased attention to the legal issues of
access to sealed adoption records and adoption
abrogation has cast doubt over the assumed
cohesion of adoptive family relationships and the
paradigm upon which adoption is based. The
purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to present
the conceptual frameworks reviewed in adoption
literature; second, to evaluate the fit between the
propositions in these conceptual frameworks and
the underlying assumptions upon which adoption
statutes--the explicit representation of the
paradigm--are promulgated.
The poor fit
between the propositions and the core beliefs
upon which adoption laws and policies are
based provides support for the impetus to
change the existing legal restrictions imposed on
the adoption system. This paper also embraces
the need for a paradigmatic shift in our beliefs
about adoption.

TX 79409.
The purpose of this study was to clarify the
determinants of maternal role satisfaction in full-time
homemaking mothers. A sample of married mothers (n=93)
from three SE states who worked for pay outside the home
less that five hours per week completed questionnaires.
Mcthers attending a mother's support group (the Mcther's
Center) participated as well as their friends who did
not attend the Mcther's Center.
The questionnaire
contained:
demographic
information,
the
Parent
Satisfaction Scale, and three variations of the
Perceived Social Support Scale.
A stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed
three variables remaining in the regression equation at
the . 05 significance level. The degree of perceived
family support predicts high parental satisfaction,
while the desire to be employed outside the home, and
increasing
maternal
age
predict
low
parental
s~tisfaction (~'s =-.315, .241, and -.234 respectively,
R = .252). These three variables accounted for 25% of
the variance in parental satisfaction.
Intervention programs as well as cou nse 1 i ng
professionals should focus on these three variable while
attempting to help and support full-time homemaking
mothers with regard to their parental role satisfaction.

by qualitative content analysis. Cohort
differences were found in the perceptions of
mother's parenting, scores on the FOS,
description of the current mother-daughter

FAMILY TIME AS A COM:MODITY: HOW FATHERS
MAKE, GIVE AND SPEND TIME. Kerry J. Daly, Fam.
Stud., U of Guelph, Guelph, ON, Canada N1G 2W1
Studies of family time have traditionally focused on
a quantity/quality distinction. Although this may be
meaningful for some researchers and parents, it tends to
overlook a wide variety of permutations in the conceptualization and experience of family time. In this study,
32 fathers were interviewed in order to assess their perception of time as it relates to the meaning of the fatherhood identity. Interviews were unstructured and data gathering and analysis followed the principles of grounded
theory and constant comparative analysis (Glaser and
Strauss, 1967). Symbolic interactionist assumptions about
identity as an emergent, situational and socially constructed phenomenon also served to guide the analysis. One of
the major themes to emerge in this analysis is that fathers
tend to treat family time as a commodity, or something
which is produced and expended. While the hallmark of
a good father is one who spends time with his children,
children themselves were seen as time consuming. New
fathers talk about the development task of making time
available as if it were something that they need to
produce. Experienced fathers talked less about making
time and more about putting in time with their children
which suggests a more reluctant expenditure of time. The
many meanings of family time for these fathers will be
discussed in light of their competing commitments and
their overarching definitions of what it means to be a
father.

The father's role in a traditional Confucian
patriarchal family is described. Then the results of a selfreport survey of 131 fathers from Guangzhou, China is

Findings indicate Chinese fathers are becoming more
involved in child care and continue to perform traditional
roles of teaching and disciplining children. These fathers
were very concerned with their children's education.
Gender equality ushered in by the communist
revolution, economic forces, government work policies and
exposure to western culture may account for some of these
changes in father work in China.

Temple Uniy, Philadelphia. PA 19122.
We examine the effect of custodial status on
the likelihood that a child who is coping with a
stressful event will engage his or her father as a
provider of support. The sample consists of 218
early adolescents who co-reside with their
fathers and 78 who live apart from their fathers.
Custodial status did have a significant effect on
the likelihood of a father being named as a
person the adolescent went to for help.
However, custodial and non-custodial fathers
did not differ either in the amount of support they
provided in 8 dimensions of support, or on 5
measures of general relationship quality. A
comparison of how the adolescent saw their
fathers filling 7 functional roles found only 1
significant difference (with non-custodial fathers
providing more emotional support). We
conclude that custodial status does affect the
likelihood of fathers becoming involved in the
support process, but that, once they are
engaged, custodial and non-custodial fathers
function in very similar ways.

yrs later. Variables included in the discriminant
analysis are age, gender, marital status, ethnicity,
English ability, training, time in Canada, location of
residence, and sponsorship. Data are from
personal interviews with 1, 1 69 adults who arrived
between 1 979 and 1 981 . Time 1 and Time 2
results are similar, i.e., relative contribution of
discriminating variables is moderate and the same
variables are significant although their relative
contribution varies. Employed respondents reside
in a less urban area, have greater English ability,
have been in Canada longer, have higher
educational levels, and are younger. At Time 2,
being male and having more training, but not
residing in a rural area were significant.
Preliminary results from Time 3 will be discussed
to note consistency of patterns over time.

DIVISIOU OF LABOR IN JAPANESE AND
AMERICAN FAMILIES. John Engel,
University of Hawaii, Honolulu,
Hmvaii 96822
This study surveyed and compared
divisions of labor in the families
of 728 Japanese and 608 Americans.
It was found that, compared with
Americans, Japanese are more likely
to want wives to be responsible for
housework, child discipline,
maintenance of physical or mental
health, and financial management.
Japanese are more likely to want
husbands to be responsible for
recreation planning, birth control,
employment outside the home, making
the more important decisions, and
maintaining relationships with
relatives.
Findings support the hypothesis
that Japanese, compared with
Americans, have and prefer more
traditional or sex-typed divisions
of labor, and are less prone to
idealize sharing of family tasks
and responsibilities.

Questionnaire data from a sample of 749
Japanese young adults (17-39) and 141
middle-aged adults (40-59) were analyzed
for generational differences in attitudes
regarding work, family, friendship and
socializing ~lith co-workers. Compared
with the older, middle-aged Ss, the young
adult Ss believed more strongly that one's
spouse should be one's best friend. They
differed from the midlife Ss in believing
that a close relationship outside of marriage was desirable. They also believed
that husbands and wives ought to socialize with their spouse's co-workers. Other
differences between generations included
a less traditional attitude on the part of
young adults as to husbands and wives spending time with co-workers to help their
careers even if it meant less time with
their families, and whether or not a close
relationship outside marriage would harm a

The purpose of this study was to determine what
characteristics adults in two Chinese samples (Taiwan,
n=268; Peoples Republic of China, n=305) view as being
important to strong families. Each sample was analyzed
as a whole and also in terms of gender and age. The
Taiwanese sample was also analyzed based on response to
the Family Satisfaction Scale (Olson, 1985) which is based
on the Circumplex model.
The results report on
significant differences based on age, sex and sample
location as to important family strengths. Differences
reported from the Family Satisfaction scale are also
reported. Comparisons with American samples are made.
The present investigation assesses the future
aspirations and perceptions of discrimination in the school
setting among 213 Native American teenagers. While the
majority of students reported high aspirations for
furthering their education beyond high school, more than
a quarter perceived some degree of discrimination in the
school setting. A significant positive relation was found
between teens' perception of discrimination in the school
and perceived likelihood of dropping out of school.
Examination of individual and familial factors revealed
perceived discrimination, negative self-esteem and the
absence of a significant adult who shows interest in school
progress as significantly related to dropping out of school.
For males, negative self-esteem and perceived school
discrimination were the strongest predictors of failing to
complete high school. Findings are discussed in terms of
the risk and protective factors that influence whether
Native American youth remain in or drop out of school.

THE EMPLOYMENT OF MOTHERS AND CHILDREN IN EARLY TWENTIETH
HOW TO DO MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPY
WITH PEOPLE FROM CHINA. Linna Wang, MFT
Program, Brigham Young Univ., Provo, UT 84602.
When doing therapy with the Chinese, special
attention needs to be paid to the subcultural difference.
Chinese are much less likely to seek professional
help for their marriage and family problems. If they do,
it is more likely to be court ordered. Voluntary presence
in therapy can be indicator of degrees of assimilation.
They are more likely to come to solve some problems
rather than for their emotional disturbance. The therapist
needs to solve some problem as soon as possible. Some
techniques are not recommended to the Chinese clients.
Social stigma is more of a problem to the Chinese
clients. The therapist needs to give them more assurance
of confidentiality, more education about therapy, and more
time to open up. Group therapy is not recommended by
the author.
The therapist needs to be more sensitive to the
emotional reaction of Chinese clients to their sex
problems, especially that of childless women.

Using a household economy model, this paper
examines factors affecting the likelihood of mothers' and
children's employment in Atlanta, GA in 1900. The sample,
derived fro111 U.S. Census household schedules, includes 432
two parent households, 237 with children of employable
age. 44% of the mothers were employed, most the entire
year. 52% of families with children of employable age had
a least one employed offspring. Logistic regression
analyses indicate the length of husbands' uneaployment
increased the likelihood of ~ther's work. High child care
demands (young children, nUDber of children) did not
affect mothers'employment. When older children (15+) were
not present mothers' were more likely to work. Older
children were unaffected by fathers' labor force
characteristics; however, having a working mother
increased the likelihood of employment. The nUDber of
children present increased the likelihood of families'
reliance on children's employment. Having young siblings
decreased the likelihood of older siblings'elployment.

QUALITATIVE EXAMINATION OF POOR
AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN. Robin
Jarrett, Dept. of Sociology,
Loyola University, Chicago IL.
Michael P. Dept. of Soc. SUNY Buffalo 14260
Investigations of psychological well-being
conducted in Western societies consistently have
found that married men and women have better
psychological health than the unmarried. The
findings support the protection/support hypothesis
that the continuous companionship and emotional
gratification from a spouse buffer individuals from
physical and emotional pathology. Looking only at
married couples, some research shows that
marriage is more rewarding for men than for
women. For women the married state may
increase stress and lead to psychological problems,
especially when they also work in the paid labor
market. However, because previous research is
based on studies of Western families, there is a
question about whether the findings can be
generalized to families in non-Western nations,
where women's roles are more traditional and
families are more extended. By using the 1990
nation-wide survey data of Taiwan (N=2,531 ), this
research investigates whether gender, marriage,
family structure and work have the same effects on
men and women in Taiwan as they do in the
Western countries.

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPY WITH ETHNIC
MINORITIES:
APPROACH TO WORKING WITH
PAKISTANI FAMILIES IN THE USA. Taranum Chaudry,
Brigham Young Univ., Provo, UT 84602.
This paper attempts to address issues and problems arising
when doing Marriage and Family Therapy with ethnic minorities,
in this case, Pakistani families settled in the United States. The
focus is on how far is therapy with Pakistani's effective, when
treated by a White therapist or for that matter, by a therapist
from the same culture, but trained in the Western model.
The paper is based entirely on subjective view of the problem, and presents a brief introduction of the culture and religion
of the Pakistani society, giving a better understanding of values,
attitudes, myths that work at the individual and family level.
This is discussed in context of how the first generation
immigrant families have maintained these values and imposed
them on the second generation which has been brought up in the
USA, and the conflicts arising between the two.
The final part focuses on the tools, techniques and special
training required by the therapist to treat these families effectively. It explores the feasibility of applying various models as
presented by the different schools of thought, namely, structural,
behavioral, strategic, experiential and psychoanalytic. The question of diagnosis and treatment is addressed, in that, should it be
culturally specific, two-type or universalistic. Taking this further
it tries to determine the modality of treatment - should it be psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, problem solving or
social skills training or is there need to improvise or innovate
more modalities to fit the culture?
The conclusion rests upon the fact that knowledge of the
culture, and adapting the models to the culture is perhaps the
most effective way to treat these families.

KIN SUPPORT AMONG WORKING AND
NONWORKING MEXICAN AMERICAN WOMEN.
Barbara A. Zsembik, Dept. of Soc., Gainesville, FL 32611.
Using the 1979 Chicano Survey, this research
evaluates 2 competing explanations, cultural and structural,
for the kin support patterns among working and
nonworking women. Results of logistic regression on
whether support is provided and whether support is
received offer some support for the structural explanation.
Homeowners, more highly educated and higher income
Chicanas are more likely to provide assistance to kin.
Family values and other cultural values were unrelated.
Working women were more likely to assist. Cultural
values were also unrelated to whether a Chicana reported
receiving support from kin. Work status did not appear to
elicit support either. Though the structural indicators were
not related to the receipt of support, unmarried women and
younger women, concentrated in childbearing years, were
more likely to receive support.
This suggests that
structural factors operate indirectly through gender and life
course.

FACTORS RELATED TO INNER-CITY STIJDENTS'
SUCCESS IN COLLEGE. Janice Montague, Dept. of
Acad. Skills, Hunter Col, CUNY, New York, NY 10021.
The City Univ. of NY (CUNY) has long had a special
admissions program called Search for Education, Elevation
and Knowledge (SEEK). This program is designed to help
"inner-city" students get a college education at CUNY.
SEEK students face many obstacles as they endeavor
to complete their college education, including basic skills
deficiencies, public assistance or employment problems, and
single parenthood responsibilities. Yet, despite these considerable challenges, they all seek a fresh start and an
opportunity to improve their lives by entering college.
Using Harriet McAdoo's theoretical discussion of "extended-family support networks," the researcher explored the
possibility that a student's "family support network" might
be a prime factor underlying success or failure of "innercity" students in college. The important ethnographic data
in this study is the description of the interaction of a single
inner-city family that matches the common demographic
description but where a young woman was entering college
as a "self-employed" student and who, across the time of the
research, was clearly "succeeding."
Findings were: that well-functioning families exist in
the "inner-city," and that the case-history study of the focal
subject, her single-parent mother, and her siblings all
possessed the motivation and the skills necessary to succeed
in college. The relation of family interaction and upward
mobility is suggested, and suggestions for incorporating
appropriate group interaction into educational programs are
made.

We explore the extent to which single and mar:ied
mothers: 1) participate in support exchanges orgaruzed
around kin networks, 2) the structural and functional properties of kin networks, and 3) the type of assistance they
receive from their families. Kin assistance could have a
significant impact on mitigating the economic, social, ~nd
psychological strains of single parenthood, as well as hel~mg
married mothers, through the provision of instrumental (I.e.,
goods, services, money) and emotional (i.e., advice, companionship) support.
The present study examines the extent of fmancial,
emotional, and child care assistance that black mothers receive from their family using data from the Natl. Survey of
Black Americans (NSBA). Various dimensions of kin networks and their impact on the receipt of assistance will be
explored. The current effort employs a ":'ithin-group ~om?ar
ative approach to investigate demographic heterogeneity (I.e.,
education, income, regional, and marital status) within singleparent and dual-parent families.
This research found significant marital status differences
in the kind of help received. While familial help does occur,
it is important to acknowledge that, as described by these
data assistance from kin is not as extensive as some resear~hers have suggested. Help from kin varies in amount,
type, and adequacy and can not be counted on or assumed to
address all needs. SESSION 214 _18

Lichter, Population Studies Center, Pennsylvania State
University, University Park, PA 16802.
The purpose of this paper is to explore the degree to
which common explanations can be offered for racial differences
on a variety of family patterns. The first part of the analysis will
compare blacks and whites in terms of the effects of several covariates on rates of initiation of sexual intercourse, first marriage, first birth, and marital dissolution. The second step will
be to examine the degree to which compositional differences and
differences in the effects of covariates account for racial
differences in timing.
Data for the analysis are taken from Cycles III and IV of
the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG). Respondents
were a national probability sample of women between the ages
of 14 and 45. Cycles III and IV included 7954 and 8420
respondents respectively. Blacks were over-sampled.
Results show substantial similarity but also significant differences in the deterniinants of black and white family formation
and dissolution. Graphs comparing cumulative probabilities indicate that background characteristics can explain some of the race
differences in ultimate probabilities of first intercourse and
parenthood, but do not explain the earlier initiation among
blacks. Background characteristics do not explain the race difference in timing of marriage, but do explain much of the difference in patterns of marital dissolution. It appears that different
aspects of family behavior are not closely integrated.

The relationship of the fainily, individual, and
community protective factors to psychosocial
competence among African-American youth was
examined. Substance use and abuse, along with
academic and social mastery, were treated as
measures of psychosocial competence. Four groups
of African-American adolescents and their parents
participated as subjects. Fainily variables were
assessed via the Family Environment Scale and the
Self-Report Family Inventory. A questionnaire was
devised to assess substance use and abuse attitudes
and behaviors.
Psychosocial competence was
measured by the Offer Self-Image Questionnaire.
Achievement test scores and grade point averages
were utilized to assess academic competence. The
data were examined using Multiple Regression
Analyses. Findings indicated important differences in
the perceived family environmental factors and the
perceived family competence of high achieving versus
low achieving adolescents. However, findings appear
theoretically contradictive for family structure.

The purpose of this study was to assess gender
differences in work conflict, family conflict and interrole
conflict in African American and White families. Further
we were interested in learning the degree to which these
work and family conflicts have on life satisfaction, marital
satisfaction and employment satisfaction for these couples.
208 parents living in the Baltimore/Washington
metropolitan area were interviewed separately in their own
homes. The independent variables were gender and
perceived social economic status. Subjects of both ethnic
groups were equally satisfied with their lives, the marital
relationship and their jobs. African American mothers
were found to have higher levels of work conflict and
family conflict than their spouses. However the mothers
interrole conflict scores were similar to their spouses.
There were no significant gender or SES differences in the
family conflict and interrole conflict scores of African
American families. White families appeared to be equally
high in work, family and interrole conflict. No significant

In the Danish case in a joint project between
Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden one thesis is
examined. As 89% of Danish mothers are on the labor
market the thesis, whether female dominated professionals
are more flexible in order to solve the work-family
interplay for families with small children is examined
through extensive interviews (N=60) and questionnaires
(N=3200) covering 8 different professions.
The
investigation shows, that the difference between the
cultures is not whether there is any flexibility during a
working day, but how the flexibility is used. Women are
using the flexibility in favor of the family, while men are
using it for social life with colleagues and increasing the
income. The workplace culture is reflecting the sex-roles
in the family, and the result is only minor change in the

DISABTI.JTIES: PROCESS AND OUfCOME; Cook, David R. & Mandelson,
Christina M. ;Henry M. Jackaon Foundation for the Advancement of Military
Medicine (Foundation), Rockville, MD. 20852.
PROBLEM/NEED: In 1989, assessments of family child care training programs
in the armed services and a statewide survey conducted by the Maryland Infants and
Toddlern Program revealed that no curriculum or training program had been
developed that specifically addressed the training needs of family child care
providers who were interested in caring for children with disabilities.
METHOD: During 1990-91, with funding and support from the Department of
Army and Health and Human Services, the Foundation developed a comprehensive,
integrated curriculum and training model designed to meet this need. This paper
will outline how project staff collaborated with a Maryland community college,
using a nationally known, competency-based approach call DACUM (!!evelop f:!
g_urriculum). Three phases ofcurriculumdevelopmentwill be discussed, including
underlying philosophy and themes, training objectives and the proposed training
model. The contributions of parents, paraprofessionals and professionals during this
process will be detailed.
RESULTS: Comprehensive, integrated trainer and trainee manuals have been
completed. The curriculum is composed of four separate units containing a total of
19 modules and 70 lesson plans. A summary of curriculum contents will be
provided to participants. A field test plan has been developed and submitted to the
Department of Education as a grant application.
IMPLICATIONS: The curriculum is a "stand alone" training resource that can
be used by community professionals, service providern and parents to train family
child care providern to be come an expanded and improved resource in the
community to meet the needs of families that have an infant or toddler with
disabilities. The training model promotes positive interaction and continuing
supportive relationships lliilOng health care and education professionals, other service
providers, families and paraprofessionals. The curriculum and training model
provide states and communities with a potential method of accomplishing the
interagency and multidisciplinary collaboration and cooperation required to
implement the provisions of the Part H. amendment (P. L. 99-457) of the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

A CRITICAL TRANSffiON: HELPING PARENTS
PREPARE THEIR AT-RISK CHILDREN FOR
KINDERGARTEN SUCCESS
Cudaback, Dorothea, University of California,

Kindergarten Prep consists of seven sessions
designed to help parents of 4-year-olds (1) to learn
to play with their children in ways that promote
their social and intellectual readiness for
kindergarten and (2) to become knowledgeable and
effective partners with their children's teachers.
The program was tested with 7 parent groups in
high-risk neighborhoods. All participants reported
achieving program goals. Many reported achieving
the goals "a lot": learning about own child's
readiness for kindergarten (71 %), learning about
kindergarten (45%), learning to play with child in
ways that promoted development (43%), learning to
increase child's language and pre-reading skills
(33%). All children showed improvement in the
number of items to which they could respond
correctly on a 21-item kindergarten readiness
questionnaire. The average increase in correct items
per child between the pre- and post-tests was 6.8.
Our study suggests that parents whose children
are at risk of educational problems will attend,
appreciate, and benefit from a kindergarten
preparation program.

as instructional design research. The three major content
areas are system issues, support, and control. The
instructional design is guided by Component Display
Theory developed by M. David Merrill with attention to
expository and inquisitory modes for both generalities and
instances. The program includes materials for low-literacy
and guidelines for presentation and program development
for specific populations.

HELPING YOUNG ADULTS TO UNDERSTAND
THE "SECOND SHIFT." Alan J. Hawkins &
Kaye Woodworth, Department of Family
Sciences, Brigham Young University,
Provo, UT 84602.
We report on a method for helping
young adults, most of whom will be in
dual-earner families, better prepare for
the challenges of fitting domestic work
into busy schedules, and help them
understand the rei ationship between the
way domestic work is arranged and the
quality of family relationships.
Undergraduate students in a family
science class take on responsibility for
domestic work for three weeks with their
real or synthetic family (e.g., apartment
roommates).
In written reports of their
experiences, students usually report a
brief "honeymoon period" when they fill
the role of "superman" or superwoman,"
followed by stress, anger, and
deteriorating relationships. Many students
then learn to elicit others' help, and gain
an appreciation of how domestic work
affects family relationships.
HELPING PARENTS TO CONSIDER THEIR
CHILDREN FIRST DURING DIVORCE: AN
EVALUATION OF THE CHILDREN FIRST
PROGRAM. Kramer, Laurie, Univ. of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign, Urbana IL 61801 and Washo,
Christine A., Family Service of Champaign County,
Champaign IL 61821.
Numerous programs have been developed to address
the needs of divorcing families, yet very few have been
empirically studied. The present research is the first
systematic evaluation of the Children First program (CF),
a two-session intervention that uses videotaped scenarios
and discussions to help groups of divorcing parents
become more sensitive to their children's needs. Four
dimensions of effectiveness were evaluated in a shortterm longitudinal study using the self-reports of 119
divorcing parents and court records.
Parents generally found the program to be helpful and
advised that it should continue to be legally mandated in
their county. Although improvements were not observed
in all areas assessed, parents reported a dramatic
reduction in their children's exposure to open parental
conflict. Preliminary analyses failed to reveal comparable
improvements for a control group. Finally, parents
reported increased concerns about coordinating parenting
with their ex-spouse. Results have direct implications for
the refinement of this and other intervention programs.

USE OF VIDEOTAPED FEATURE FILMS IN FAMILY
LIFE EDUCATION. Lori Myers, Ben Silliman, Col. of
Hum. Ecol., LA Tech Univ., Ruston, LA 71272.
Much attention is given to identification and critique
of instructional film and yet scant mention has been given
to creative use of feature films. Ease of videotape rental,
student familiarity, their variety and provocative nature
makes film literature ideal for formal and nonformal FLE
settings. Films should be selected for their match to
teaching objectives, audience needs, and overall teaching
method and setting. Effective use of resources rests with
balancing inherent qualities of films with teacherstructured questions and comments which correct cultural
biases, enhance awareness and empathy for all family
types, link scenes to research foundations, and encourage
valuing the worth of all persons. Explanation and
discussion of film content and process may balance and
enhance scenes weak in depth or fairness, and promote
critical and creative thinking about family-related
messages in popular media. Samples of films with
promise for learning and discussion include "Moonstruck,"
"The Color Purple," "children of a lesser god," and "The
Trip to Bountiful." Learner response to films may also
provide valuable feedback on personal priorities and
comprehension.
A MULTIMETHOD EVALUATION OF A PROGRAM
TO HELP DUAL-EARNER COUPLES SHARE
HOUSEWORK AND CHILD CARE. Tomi-Ann Roberts,
Alan J. Hawkins, Christina Marshall, Col. of Fam., Home
and Soc. Sci., Brigham Young Univ., Provo, UT 84602.
This presentation reports findings from a study of 6
new-parent, dual-earner couples who participated in a pilot
program to help them learn to share housework and child
care equitably. Our program focused more on attitudinal
change than on skills training. We used questionnaires,
video observations of couple problem-solving situations,
and open-ended interviews in our attempt to understand
processes operating in dual-earner couples as they attempt
to create an equitable distribution of domestic labor. Our
in-depth, qualitative look revealed themes that might have
been overlooked in a purely quantitative analysis. For
example, several wives placed more importance on shared
domestic labor as a means to connect with spouses and
create a shared sense of family than on strict notions of
equity. Also, gender identities of both husbands and
wives were important in couples' openness to change.
These themes should inform future studies of dual-earner
families.

BUILDING COMMUNITY COALITIONS FOR
CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND FAMILIES. Daniel F.
Perkins, Joanne Keith, Margaret Coneny Clifford, Inst. for
Children, Youth, & Families, MI State Univ., East
Lansing, MI 48824.
Rapid, steady economic and social changes
have increased the need to support parents in
socializing children for work and family roles. A
statewide research-based Curriculum Guide on
Adult Responsibilities was developed for high
school students to address work and family
needs through units on self-awareness and
interpersonal skills and a unique focus on
specific work-family issues (influence of work on
family, employment benefits and dilemmas, child
care, stress management, and special issues for
dual-earner, single parent, and single-earner
families.
Ideas for lesson plans, active
learning/ critical thinking events, and a 30-topic
research update for teachers are included in the
Guide. Anticipated outcomes include increased
awareness of work-related stress and coping and
enhanced capacity to promote family-friendly
workplaces.
With the deteriorating status of children and youth,
coalitions and collaborative efforts are strongly
recommended to improve community safety nets to reduce
the numbers of youth needing support. An integrated
research project and outreach effort was designed and
implemented to identify and monitor existing collaborative
efforts and teach community teams how to develop
collaborative efforts in their communities. Over 100
collaborative efforts were identified with quantitative and
qualitative data collection and analysis based on 13 site
visits and in-depth interviews. An intervention strategy
was developed and evaluated. The results from integrating
the research and outreach will be presented, including
typologies of collaborative models being created by
communities and evaluation of an intervention strategy
with implications for community collaborative efforts.

BUilDING PARTNERSHIPS TO ADDRESS
WORK/FAMILY ISSUES. Patricia Tanner Nelson,
Cooperative Extension, University of Delaware,
Newark, OE 19717-1303.
This twenty-five-agency Work/Family Coalition
began five years ago to help Delaware employers
implement family-sensitive workplace policies.
Coalition-sponsored activities have included ( 1) state
- wide conferences for over 130 employers, (2) a
series of Breakfast Roundtables for 142 urban and
suburban employers, (3) a series of Breakfast
Roundtables for 54 rural employers, (4) and Briefing
Papers on family-sensitive policies.
Conferences in 1992 focused on school-aged child
care (SACC) -- targeting 180 school administrators,
local school board members, and representatives
from the business community. A follow-up
conference gave practical information on starting
SACC programs for program providers.
The Coalition is applying for Child Care Block Grant
dollars to meet its 1 992 goals: ( 1) Orchestrating a
public information campaign on the need for SACC
programs and options, (2) providing mentoring
programs for existing SACC program providers; and
(3) providing technical assistance to build local
community SACC partnerships.
This session reviews research on factors involved
in building longterm, collaborative partnerships for
families, and the processes that have been most
effective in helping employers and school
policymakers to develop family-sensitive policies.
LINKAGES: COMBINED EFFORTS TO COMBAT
FAMILY VIOLENCE. Sylvia Stalnaker, Dept. of Home
Econ., SW TX State Univ., San Marcos, TX 78666.
Research indicates that the most effective methods to
break the cycle of violence are to modify the perpetrator's
behavior, and to counsel victims at the earliest stages of
abuse.
The San Antonio Police Department and
P.E.A.C.E. (Putting an End to Abuse Through Community
Effort) have put into effect a pilot program, F.A.C.T.
(Family Assistance Crises Team) that combines efforts of
the police, courts, and community at large to assist victims
of abuse to reducing and eradicating violence in their
lives. This presentation will discuss the model program
and the inclusion of students and faculty from Southwest
Texas State Univ. to provide a multi-disciplinary approach
that not only assists in abating family violence, but also
provides applied educational opportunities for students in
undergraduate family life education programs.

SYSTEM WORK: THE IMPACT OF A
CHILD'S CHRONIC ILLNESS ON THE
FAMILY. Virginia E. Hayes, School ofNursing,
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC,
V6T2B5.
This paper will report partial findings of a
Grounded Theory study of what it is like for
families to manage the effects of a child's chronic
illness in day-to-day life. Since pediatric
chronicity is increasing, and more families deal
with added demands as a routine at home, it is
important to better understand families'
perspectives and needs, and apply these to
modifications in services and health care policy.
The additional work for families is profound and
pervasive, even if the condition seems "minor".
Everyone must accommodate: for parents, there is
a "third shift", for children, life is different in
ways they cannot know. In addition, there is the
work of maintaining system balance in the face of
unpredictability. New rules, values and
flexibilities grow up to accommodate for this.
Some degree of ambivalence and frustration rhust
be tolerated in order for the "new normal" daily
life to run smoothly, acceptably, or happily. The
techniques and processes by which families
achieve an acceptable "status quo" will be
reported.
A CREATIVE APPROACH TO SCHOOL AGE
CHILD CARE, Patricia E. Steffens and Georgia L.
Stevens, Nebraska Cooperative Extension, University
of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68583.
Community assessment data from communities in
rural Nebraska indicates 9% of third graders (age 8)
to 24% of sixth graders (age 11) stay at home alone
on a regular basis. Over 90% stay at home alone
occasionally.
The goal of project is to increase skills and
communication between parents (adults) and schoolage children regarding expectations for spending time
alone in self-care. Phase one is an enrichment
program for educating third and fourth grade
students; the second phase is a group process used
primarily when school is not in session.
Evaluations conducted include potential for
student behavior change, teacher/facilitator evaluation
of content and fom1at, parent's perception of
usefulness of materials.
A seven component curriculum developed for this
project will be an integral part of the display.

TEACHING AS STORYTELLING: PERSONAL
NARRATIVES IN FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION.
Thomas. Jane, Program Services, Vancouver
School Board, Vancouver, Canada, V6J 1Z8, and
Arcus, Margaret, Family Sciences, University of
British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, V6T 1Z4.
Teaching practices of six FLE teachers were
examined using ethnographic research methods.
Findings revealed an image of teaching as
personal narrative which differed from traditional
perceptions of teaching as curriculum management. Personal narratives (or stories) were
evident both as a teaching method (to illustrate a
point or reinforce content) and as content
(personal experiences as a form of knowledge).
The use of stories allowed participants to
connect their lives with the curriculum content,
but stories were problematic to the extent that
they negated or undermined the well-established
body of factual knowledged in FLE. This study
raises questions about the educational justification of stories in teaching FLE and about the .role
of the FLE teacher as storyteller. (The study was
supported by grant #452-89-01 090, Social

EFFECTS OF COPING CONGRUENCE ON

School of Social Work, Ann Arbor, MI 48109
In the face of an emotionally stressing
situation. the similarity with which a couple
copes can have profound implications for marital
functioning. This research explores the
congruence of coping styles and marital quality
of parents of children with cancer.
Couples (N=33) were categorized as similar or
dissimilar on the coping styles of emotionregulating and problem-focused. Marital
functioning was measured by the DAS.
Results suggest that couples who differed on
problem-focused coping were more likely to
report lower mmital functioning. Furthermore.
low marital functioning was reported more
frequently when husbands rated lower on
problem-focused coping than their wives. These
results suggest an equal division of work related
to the child's illness may be associated with
higher marital functioning.

The risk of divorce tends to be lo~er for
~arried parents than comparable ~arried
couples ~ithout children. Ho~ever, little is
knoin about hov children's physical and mental
health status may affect their parents' risk
of divorce. We use the Child Health Supplement
to the 1988 lational Health Interiie~ Survey
to compare the differential risks of divorce
aaong parents ~hose children have no
health limitations vith those ~ha have varying
health problems. Using nationallJ
representative retrospective data about the
tiling of ~arital, fertilitJ, and health
events for over 12,000 child-~ther dyads, we
estimate a proportional hazards model for the
risk of divorce. After controlling for
several confounding factors, ~e find that the
risk of divorce increases by an average of 20\
among mothers with children that have
significant health problems. Risks vary by the
type of the child's health problem.

The objective of this study
is to examine the division of
household chores across different
family types (first marriages,
remarried families, divorced, and
never married families) using
data collected through the National Survey of Families and
Households. We find that uniformly high percentages of household
work are done by women, but there
are significant differences by
family type. We also find that
in families with husbands present,
men produce more work than they
provide in return. Other household members contribute very
little time to domestic labor.

MARITAL SATISFACTION OF EMPLOYED
WOMEN: INTERACTIONS OF FAMILY LIFE
STAGE WITH WORK AND FAMILY VARIABLES.
Cornfield, Noreen, Soc. Dept., Barat
Col., Lake Forest, IL, 60045.
Opposing theories argue that the
marital satisfaction of employed wives
is influenced by elements of work and
family roles which create role strain,
enhancement, or both. Included among
such elements are: time the wife
spends alone with husband, subjective
importance of her occupation, and her
satisfaction with motherhood. We
propose that the strength and
direction of effects depends on family
life stage, defined by presence and
ages of children. A mailed survey
yielded quantitative and qualitative
data on 111 employed wives who
represent 4 cross-sectional stages.
Multiple regression and interaction
analysis support the thesis that
family life stage determines which
predictors will be salient, and
stressful and/or beneficial; and
thereby moderates their impact
upon marital satisfaction.

The research question addressed in this paper is:
What is the influence of a school age child's chronic
health condition on the daily functioning of the mother,
father, sibling and child with the chronic condition?
Mothers of 65 children aged eight through twelve were the
sources of information regarding the interference in the
daily functioning of each family member. The "Family
Functional Status Interview" was conducted with these
mothers in their homes. Descriptive statistics were
computed and indicated that the father had the fewest days
of interference per month than the other family members.
The implications of gender and status for family
organization and caregiving will be discussed. In addition,
recommendations for further instrument development and
broadening the data collection sources to obtain multiple
perspectives is included.

This study examines the effects of early work
experiences on childspacing among Canadian women,
employing data from the 1984 Family History Survey
conducted by Statistics Canada. The analyses, based on
life table and proportional hazards models, show that
longer and less interrupted early work experiences exert
decompressional effects on childspacing, and that these
effects tend to persist throughout the childbearing years.
The study further shows that these effects are greater on
the third birth interval than on the second, and that they
are more pronounced among highly-educated than among
the less-educated women.

Extensive research on work and family processes has
been done on urban and suburban. populations, but few
data have been collected that address the experience of
rural families, even though they account for
approximately 25% of the U.S. population. These
symposium papers help to correct this deficiency in the
family literature through analyses of a dataset involving
a panel study of 450 rural, midwestern families.
In terms of their work lives, this is an. especially interesting population. In these agriculturally-dependent
areas, well-paying manufacturing jobs have dramatically
declined and the farm economy remains volatile after
the economic crises of the mid-1980s. In spite of these
economic reversals, a large number of these families
have maintained a middle-class income, but in many
instances this has been possible only through multiple
job-holding by both spouses in the family. Two-parent
families in which both husband and wife work a number
of low-paying jobs represent a serious violation of
expectancies for family roles that typify middle-years
rural couples who came to adulthood during the rural
prosperity of the 1970s.
This series of papers
demonstrates how these contingencies involving work,
values, beliefs, stressful changes, and social status
impact on family relationships and family members.

Middle-class ethnic minorities represent one of
the most underserved clinical populations.
This
situation is the result of a complex combination of
factors, including race/ethnic and gender bias among
clinical professionals, as well as feelings of distrust and
embarrassment among ethnic minorities. In this, the
second phase of a 2-part symposium, three presenters
seek to identify the attitudinal, cultural, and
psychological factors which shape and oft-times
constrain the clinician/middle-class client relationship.
Richards reports on the attitudes of middle-class
African-Americans towards family therapy in a
southern rural setting. Her findings suggest that both
historic and contemporary factors frustrate the
clinician/middle-class client relationship. Martinez
explores the issue of acculturation among professional
Hispanic women's work and family life. Her work
suggests that a complex interplay of ethnic identity,
family values, and work demands potentially impact
upon the therapeutic relationship. Hardy presents a
theoretical discussion of the concept of "survivor
syndrome" as a phenomenon among first-generation
middle-class African-Americans. This work, informed
by years of clinical experience, proposes a new
paradigm for exploring the socio-emotional needs and
dilemmas of this population.

characteristics were :related to frequency of
telephone contact between the children and
their mothers. The children engaged in a wide
variety of normal childhood activities, the most
prevalent (47%) being playing with someone.
AH of the children had at least one adult
available in case they needed help. Most
(91.6%) also had contact with siblings, friends,
or both during self-care.
Frequency of
telephone contact between mothers and
children was related to mothers access to a
telephone at work, sibling :relationships. and
children's activities during self-care.

Single (N=33) and married mothers (N=66) completed
questionnaires on their work and parental commitment,
parental control, and maturity demands. Parent and
work variables were measured on instruments
developed by Greenberger and Goldberg (1989).
Children's self-concept and behaviors were rated by
teachers. A subsample of 55 mothers and fathers was
utilized for analyses of agreement between mothers and
fathers on work and parenting variables. Single mothers
had lower socioeconomic status, less parental
commitment, and made fewer maturity demands than
married mothers. Single mothers were more likely to
use harsher control; married mothers used more firm/
responsive control of their children. Married mothers
and fathers were in agreement on parental commitment,
parental control, and maturity demands. Regression
analyses, employing two different models, indicated that
children's positive behaviors were predicted bY parental

The primary goal was. to reduce behavioral indicatorg_ of qtress in the
classroom to improve learning situations,
classroom management and a less stressful environment.
The writer implemented a three-phase
solution strategy which included the use
of bibliotherapy, teacher in-service
workshops and an affective education
curriculum.
Analysis of the data revealed that
the three-phase solution strategy
assisted with reducing behavioral indicators of stress in the preschool classromm and encouraged adult-child relationships and increased communication.
With the increase in divorce and/or
separation, blended households, working
mothers and transitions in childhood it
is imperative that children and their
families are provided with the means for
coping with stress.

FACTORS RELATED TO THE QUALITY OF THE
HOME ENVIRONMENT AND CHILDREN'S
ACHIEVEMENT. Rozumah Baharudin, Tom Luster,.
Dept. of Fam. & Child Ecol., Ml State Univ., East
Lansing, Ml 48824.
Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of
Youth (NLSY), the present study tested Belsky's (1984)
model of the determinants of parenting. Belsky proposed
that parenting behavior is determined by 3 factors:
parental characteristics, contextual factors, and
characteristics of the child. The study focused on 898
mothers (African-Americans, n = 347; Caucasians, n =
551) of the NLSY, and their 6-8 year-old children.
Consistent with Belsky's model, mothers who provide
better quality home environments have higher level of
education, intelligence and self-esteem. Mothers with
higher family income, fewer children, and higher marital
quality also provide more supportive home environments.
In addition, age and sex of child were significantly related
to the quality of the children's home environment.
Additional analyses indicated that the quality of the home
environment provided by mothers of both ethnic groups
was related to their children's achievement.
ARE CREATIVE ADOLESCENTS BETTER ABLE TO
SOLVE PROBLEMS RELATED TO FUTURE WORK
AND FAMILY ISSUES? Gloria Ononye, Lynn Blinn,
and Delores Smith, Child and Fam. Stud., Univ. of TN,
Knoxville, TN 37996.
We examined the construct validity of future time
perspective and creativity for 138 females. They were
given a creativity measure and the Future Problem Solving
Task (FPST). The FPST asked them to solve two
problems related to work and family situations. The
results of the two tests were significantly correlated. The
likelihood of the problems and the number of solutions
were negatively correlated.
Implications center on
adolescent solutions to complex problems related to work
and family.

A COMPARISON OF THE KNOWLEDGE
AND NEEDS OF YOUNG ADOLESCENT
AND OLDER PARENTS: IMPLICATIONS
FOR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
Daniel J. Weigel and Sally S. Martin,
Cooperative Extension, HDFS, University of
Nevada, Reno.
As the costs of adolescent parenthood
mount, scholars continue to look for clues to
understanding the needs of adolescents as
parents. 360 adolescent and older mothers
completed a questionnaire measuring child
development and parenting knowledge,
parenting stress, sources of information, need
for additional parenting information, and
demographic characteristics. Five stepwise
discriminant analyses were conducted and
identified several key variables that
successfully distinguished adolescent from
older mothers. Educational efforts need to
be directed at addressing adolescent parents'
misinformation about child development,
sources of parenting stress, and
informational needs identified in the study.
The purpose of the present study was to examine
the relation of mother-child affective exchanges to
children's vicarious emotional and prosocial
responding. The mothers of 102 school children (M
age= 85 months) were asked to tell their children two
stories in which a child was distressed. These stories
were videotaped. The child then watched a film
about children who had been hurt and given an
opportunity to help these children. The child's verbal,
facial, and physiological reactions were taken. The
findings suggest that mothers varied their affective
exchanges with the age of their children (e.g.,
mothers of younger children were expressive and
warmer). Moreover, children whose mothers were
warm and expressive were less likely to evidence
physiological distress and more likely to respond
sympathetically when observing others in distress.
Children's physiological reactivity was inversely
related to helpfulness. The results support the
conclusion that warm, expressive caretakers facilitate
children's capacity to respond sympathetically.

Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287-2502
The objective of the present study was to
explore which factors determine whether or nol
adolescents use parents as significant others. A second
objective was to explore the use of peers as significant
others.
Multiple regression analyses supported our
hypotheses: parents who were perceived as being
competent as indicated by a) effective parenting, and b)
having important resources, were more likely to be
identified as significant others.
Furthermore, the use of peers as significant
others was a positive predictor of the use of parents as
significant others. Demographic predictors indicated the
use of parents as significant others diminishes with
adolescents' increased age.
Overall, this study identifies important parental
competencies that foster the influence of parents on their
adolescents.

This study sought to determine the relationship
between family life events, family economic stability,
family adaptability and cohesion, parent-adolescent
communication, and family coping styles and depression
among rural adolescents.
A sample of 108 rural
adolescents and their custodial parents completed
standardized instrumentation related to the Olson
Circumplex model. Multiple regression analysis indicated
that the strongest model, accounting for 23% of the
variance in depression, consisted of family life events,
father-adolescent communication, and family economic
stability. Results support a life events perspective on
adolescent depression with the father-adolescent
relationship and family economic stability as mediating
resources.

FAMILY CHARACfERISTICS AS PREDICIORS OF
ADOLESCENT SIBLING RELATIONSHIPS: A
LONGITUDINAL PERSPECTIVE. Gene H. Brody, J. Kelly
McCoy, and Zolinda Stoneman, Dept of Child & Fam. Dev.,
Univ. of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602.
Links between adolescent sibling relationship quality and
middle childhood assessments of marital quality, maternal and
paternal direct and differential behavior that involve the
siblings will be examined. We predict that marital unhappiness
and conflict as weD as mothers'and fathers' negative and
controlling behavior to individual siblings will be associated
with higher levels of sibling conflict in adolescence. We also
hypothesized that rates of maternal and paternal positive and
responsive behavior directed to each sibling during middle
childhood will be positively associated with sibling relationship
quality in adolescence. Several forms of differential parental
behavior (e.g., parents are more controlling, responsive,
favorable, or critical toward one sibling compared to the other)
will be associated with a poorer sibling relationship during
adolescence. To test these hypotheses, self-report and
observational assessments of family processes (marital quality
and conflict, mother-sibling interactions and father-sibling
interactions) were obtained for 75 families during the sibling
childhood years. During adolescence, both siblings completed
the Sibling Relationship Inventory, a self-report measure of
perceived quality of the sibling relationship.

THE IMPORTANCE OF INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY
CHARACTERISTICS IN PREDICTING ADOLESCENT
FRIENDSHIP QUALITY. J. Kelly McCoy and Gene H.
Brody, Dept. of Child & Farn. Dev., University of Georgia,
Athens, GA 30602.
We examined the longitudinal associations of young
people's individual and family characteristics with the
quality of later best-friend relationships. It was predicted
that parents will influence their child's friendships through
the level of cohesiveness and conflict in the marital
relationship, the level of harmony in their relationship with
the child, and various aspects of their involvement in their
child's peer relations. We also hypothesized that young
people's temperament, particularly sociability, will
significantly impact the friendship experiences they report.
To test these hypotheses, self-report and observational
assessments of family process and child temperament,
obtained 5 years ago from 75 families, were compared with
more recently collected information about young people's
friendships and their parents' involvement in those
relationships. Results indicate support for the importance of
both family and individual characteristics, particularly in
predicting the importance of parents' involvement with
adolescents' friendships, with the significance of these two
dimensions varying as a function of young people's gender.

Connie Steele. Dept. of Child and

University of TN, Knoxville, TN 37996.
While "leadership" is included in
definition of "gifted" traits, training
of early childhood caregivers has not
included attention to children's lead·ership skills. This study differentiated 62 children as "gifted," and 83
as "not-selected-as-gifted." Each
child's "leadership" was assessed by
teachers and parents on an adapted
Renzulli and a Malone BIG respectively.
Results indica ted that "gifted 1 s''
demonstrated leadership characteristics
more often (p <.OS) than "not-selectedas-gifted's." Even the youngest gifted
children often directed and guided
others, asserted their wishes, decided
independently their play activities.

AND OTHER PROBLEM BEHAVIORS.
Grace M, Barnes and Michael P. Farrell,
NYS Research Institute on Alcoholism
1021 Main St., Buffalo, NY 14203.
'
Social theorists have postulated that
adolescent problem behaviors are a
function of "broken homes" and maternal
employment and that maternal employment
may also affect problem behavior via
inadequate supervision of children.
These hypotheses were examined in a
representative general population sample
of 699 adolescents and their families in
an
ongoing
longitudinal
study.
Regression analyses were carried out
with
adolescent
deviance,
alcoholrelated problems, and heavier drinking
as
dependent variables.
Maternal
employment
did
not
predict
any
adolescent problem outcomes; maternal
employment also did not predict parental
monitoring or support.
However, low
levels of monitoring and support are
strong predictors of alcohol abuse and

In the present study, pregnant adolescents were
asked to keep written diaries on a weekly basis for
six weeks regarding their feelings about their futures

children. The purpose was to begin to document
these girls' mood swings and look at whether their
emotions extended to thoughts about others and the

National Survey of Adolescernt Males
(.n = 1 ,880). We focus primarily om how race,
social class, attitudes about male gender

to young men's views about abortiorn in the
context of eight different circumstances
and their view that young men should
encourage their partner whom they do not
love to have an abortion. Almost 39% of
these Rs feel that it is "all right" for a
young woman to have an abortion if she
prefers to do so but her partner does not.
Meanwhile, 89% and 86% agree that abortion
is acceptable when the woman's health is
in danger or when a pregrnancy has resulted
from a rape. About 19% recommend that unmarried young women should be encouraged
to have an abortion. We also conduct
multivariate analyses with these data and
discuss how they inform the corntroversial
debate of expanding mern's power in
abortion decision-making.

LBUSD, Long Beach, CA 90813.
During the last decade, adolescent
pregnancy and parenthood have become major
economic and social problems in the United States.
The Bachman Self-esteem scale and the Dean
Romanticism scale were distributed to 94 teen
mothers of various racial backgrounds to assess
feelings of self-esteem and romanticism. Age and
current use of birth control were significantly related
to feelings of self-esteem. Whether or not the
subject had had a previous abortion, current sexual
activity, the quality of relationship between her
parents and whether the parents were living in the
same house were significantly related to
romanticism. Family life educators who concern
themselves with work-family issues throughout the
life-span, must be attuned to the unique needs and
concerns of teen mothers when designing
intervention strategies to increase the economic
resources for the single-parent family.

Department of Psychology, University of Illinois.
This study explores the empirical assocations
between sources of social support and
parenting competence in a sample of "at risk"
adolescent mothers. Sixty-two adolescent
mothers were recruited from an alternative
high-school. Standardized measures were
utilized to collect data on sources of social
support. Also, each mother-child dyad was
video-taped in feeding, unstructured piay
and structured play episodes. Maternal
behavior was assessed along six dimensions with a
standardized coding scheme. Results indicated
that, as averaged across episodes, social sup~rt
was negatively and significantly associated w1th
maternal nurturance in caretaking. However, in
structured play, social support was positively
associated with facility in caretaking, but
negatively associated with nurturance. Results
are discussed in the context of adolescent
development and in terms of their utility for the
desion of oreventive interventions.

Couplehood (feelings of being part of a couple
unit) is discussed. A qualitative analysis for
wives whose husbands reside in nursing homes
guides the development of this concept. From
this study, it appears that couplehood is
associated with communicating, sharing,
expressing intimacy, affection and sexuality, as
well as flexibility and acceptance. It may not be
related to decision-making, simply taking the
husband into account, love, self-disclosure, time
together, having family, or maintaining the
couple's home. Implications for research and
social policy are explored.
MIDDLE ADULTHOOD AND LIFE SATISFACTION.

The purpose of the present study was to examine
adulthood, separated into 2 distinct age categories: early
middle age, 35-44, and later middle age, 45-54, in order
to determine how life satisfaction was affected by being
'on or off time' in relation to marriage, occupation and
children. Income, education and social network were
examined in the same context. The data utilized in the
present study was collected by Statistics Canada in the
General Social Survey (GSS) in 1985. There were 3,468
healthy subjects ranging in age from 35-54. Using
concepts from Daniel Levinson's theory, it was
hypothesized that marriage, occupation and having
children would be more important to life satisfaction for
men and women during the early middle years. Results
indicate partial support for the concepts in that marriage
was more important to life satisfaction for women during
the early middle years and occupation was more important
for men in both age categories.

social
support
which
facilitate
caregiving.
The
purpose

Content analysis was done by group and
compared
across
groups.
Reciprocal
relationships
in

sources
of
support
and
reciprocity in the caregiving relationship
was valued. Differences existed between
the groups in relationship to the specific

The impact on the caregiver and the family of a

changes. This study examined the impact of burdeq and
family characteristics on work change of informal care
providers.
The sample for this study consisted of 247 informal
caregivers between the ages of 40 and 65 in Arkansas and
suburban Cook County, Illinois. Over one-third reported
some or a great deal of work change because of
caregiving. Chi-Square analysis found a relationship
between caregiver and elder characteristics and work
dimensions and employment change decisions. Regression
analysis indicated that individual and work dimensions
such as caregiver's age and length of time in the work
force, were most predictive of work change behavior.
Policy implications for private and public assistance
to facilitate the blending of the high demand role of
caregiving with employment are discussed. The findings
of this study support the need for family leave legislation
to better support employed caregivers of dependent family

Aging (LSOA) reinterview data were used
in the study. The file contains information on 3,406 persons aged 75 plus.
Help received from relatives, the dependent variable, was assessed with a
six-item index.
Individuals who were female, older,
married rather than divorced or widowed,
in poor health, had a greater number of
daughters, and who were living in a
household with others due to their health
condition were more likely to be receiving help from their family members. A
move into the household of a relative
because of health conditions appears to
be a strategy to enable families to provide the highest level of caregiving
assistance to community dwelling elders

Young University, Provo, UT 14602
As part of the multinational "Comparative Charting of
Social Change" project, trends in kinship behavior and
74 other societal characteristics were charted for France
Gern::umy, Quebec, and the U.S. The present pape;
contrasts trends in intergenerational relations in the four
nations and interprets patterns in historical, cultural, and
theoretical context. Kinship trends considered include
changes in household size and composition, residential
proximity to parents and children, frequency of visits,
and mutual aid. These are assessed in the light of
"master trends" like urbanization and modernization
national social and economic characteristics, and
demographic trends relevant to kin relations such as
changes in life expectancy, fertility, and the sex ratio.
Among the findings are a uniform trend toward
declining household size, national differences in intergenerational exchanges of aid, and continuities in the
vitality of kinship ties. There has been a transformation, but not necessarily an attenuation, of kinship
ties. The shape of the transformation varies by region,
culture, and ethnicity. Typically it has been enacted by,

The purpose of this study was to examine
the areas of moral conflict for nurses
employed in longterm care (LTC). The
primary research question was concerned
with categorizing the types of conflicts.
Data were gathered from thirty-one nurses
employed in three rural LTC facilities.
Open-ended, taped interviews allowed the
participants to describe a conflict they
had experienced while working with the
elderly. Content analysis resulted in
four categories of conflict: treatment
issues; image problems; family problems;
and nurse abuse. Findings from this study
have implications for the nursing profession. We must learn to value the contributions our colleagues make to this population, acknowledge the specialty knowledge
needed to work in gerontology, and increase
recruitment efforts to meet the projected
demographic needs of the next century.

Olson's recent suggestion that Family
Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales

makes appropriate a re-examination of findings
drawn from previous research for which
curvilinear scoring was recommended.
Reanalyzed data from 37 studies which used
FACES II and Ill to evaluate clinical families or
families of persons with emotional disorders
were used to test the hypothesis that problem
families will tend toward Rigid Disengaged on
Olson's Circumplex Model. Data did support
the hypothesis for Index Persons alone, their
families alone, and IPs and families together.
This supports the appropriateness of linear
scoring and suggests a link between a type of

Ph.D, Univ of Georgia, Athens, 30602.
This study investigates the quality of in-law
relationships from a role theory perspective.
Satisfaction with the in-law relationship and the
amount of disagreement couples experience was
examined by roles the parent-in-law occupied,
gender of the parent and child-in-law, and proximity.
The in-law roles included parent, grandparent, and
aging family member. Participants for this study
(N =309) were from the NSFH.
No significant differences in the dependent
variables by role or proximity were found. Wives
reported equally satisfying relationships with both
mothers and fathers-in-law. This contradicts previous
researchers who contend in-law friction is female in
nature. Scores for relationship quality for all were
high indicating in-law relationships may not be as
problematic as once believed.
This research examined gender

A sample of 145 parents whose 5- to 12-year-old
children attended one of 25 profit-making day care centers
located in three southern states completed a questionnaire
designed to determine how and why they selected day care
for their children. Results revealed that parents visited
several centers, including the one they ultimately selected,
before making a choice. Parents' most common first
source of information about day care came from friends;
very few first obtained information from child
development specialists, licensers, or doctors. Across the
three communities, the parents' rank-ordered reasons for
selecting day care were strikingly similar. Health and
safety, caregiver quality, child's social development, and
child's educational development were the most important
considerations; cost was the least important consideration.
These results will be discussed in terms of their
implications for educating parents to become better
consumers of day care for school-age children.

SOCIAL SUPPORT BETWEEN EMPLOYED WOMEN AND
THEIR MOTHERS AND MOTHERS-IN-LAW: ISSUES IN
THEORY BUILDING. Constance R. Uphold, Elizabeth R Lenz,
Karen L. Soeken, College of Nursing, University of Florida,
Gainesville, FL 32610.
We tested a theoretical model of social support between
employed women and their mothers and mothers-in-law using two
different analytic approaches for comparison and discussion.
Predictor variables were clustered into three groups: characteristics
of the adult women (professional/nonprofessional work status,
attitude toward filial responsibility), characteristics of mothers and
mothers-in-law (health, marital status) and relational characteristics
(frequency of contact, geographic distance). A stratified random
sample of 229 clerical workers and 250 faculty members were sent
questionnaires with two follow-up mailings. Social support had
four indicators and was measured by the Inventory of Socially
Supportive Behaviors.
To compare various data analytic
procedures for theory testing, both step-wise multiple regression
and LISREL VI were performed. Using both analytic procedures
there were differences in the mothers and mothers-in-law models
which emphasizes the need for researchers to study the support
between specific dyads within intergenerational fan1ilies. The
findings also underscore the potential invalidity of commonly held
assumptions about the role of various indicators in predicting
social support.
This study furd1er highlights the discrepant
findings that emerge when multiple regression versus LISREL are
performed.

FAMILIES AND ENVIRONMENT:
A STUDY OF
INTRA-URBAN RESIDENTIAL RISK VARIATION
AMONG NIGERIAN FAMILIES.
Mohammad

MLCh. UnLv. Mt. Pleasant, MI 48859
The research demonstrates that land
tenure plays vital role in the formation of intra-urban environmental variation which might have implications on
health risks. This paper focuses on
evaluating
intra-urban
residential
environmental
characteristics
of
a
Nigerian city - Maiduguri. Three categories of settlements were identified:
settlements occupying land with statutory title; settlements occupying land
with
mixed
tenurial
structure
and
finally, settlements occupying land with
pure customary title. The evidence from
the
case
study suggests that
the
environmental quality in statutory area
is better than other settlement categories and hence are relatively least
susceptible to health hazards and risks.
In contrast, the settlements with total
customary
practices
exhibit
poorer
quality of environment, and in the risk
assessment scale of 1 to 3, they scored
the highest (2.50). Families living in
these environment may have serious
developmental implications.

With an ecological systems perspective, we compared
views of coping with lifestyle of dual-earners, 66
mother/father pairs and 10 mothers-only (n=142), in 12
states with one child in day care. Data were collected by
mail on the Dual-Employed Coping Scale (DECS) and the
Work/Family Demands Survey (W/FDS). Data were
analyzed and hypotheses tested using repeated measures
multivariate analysis of variance for differences between
groups. Pairs and mothers using employer-supported child
care perceived higher levels of coping. No differences in
personal sat. were observed. None of the tested variables
were significant for fathers. Limitations of the study
prevent generalizations.
However, results offer
implications for employers.

Ferna Wiebe, L.
Brockman, Dept. of Fam. Stud., Univ. of Manitoba,
Winnipeg, MB Canada R3T 2N2.
Behaviors of 60 children were rated by parents (P)
and child day care workers (CCW). Ps rated family
interpersonal structures. Correlational analysis indicated
overall inter-rater agreement on behavior although
P ratings of
agreement was strongest for girls.
hyperactivity were related to CCW ratings of aggression.
Family conflict, independence, achievement and
moral-religious orientations were associated with problems
in the day care center. Independence and achievement
were associated with anxiety at home. Conflict was
associated with aggression in both settings.
The results have importance to CCW s
communicating with Ps about child behaviors. Not all
behaviors are stable across settings. Behavior problems
may reflect family stress.
Daycare for children represents in popular discourse
and in professional studies one of the most problematic
of the interfaces of family and work. But it is rarely
viewed from the woman's experience: social science
has been primarily interested in the effects on the
child. Women's workforce participation and family roles
are experienced in the context of very powerful
ideology and are highly unlikely to be uniform or
static. Such a situation demands qualitative research.
The presentation reports completed first and second
stages of a three stage qualitative project on women's
experiences of using daycare.
The first stage piloted the approach with
structured interviews with ten mothers whose infant
attended a long-day care centre in suburban
Melbourne. As a result, we designed detailed two
stages of longitudinal case studies, each based on four
detailed interviews prior to and during start of daycare
with a firstborn infant, field notes of observations in
the home and centre, and diaries kept by the mothers.
Results show entering daycare must be viewed
as a process,not an event; highly complex, fluid and
personal, it requires detailed research.

PURCHASE OF DOMESTIC SERVICES BY HUSBANDWIFE HOUSEHOLDS. Schwenk, F .N. and Lino,
Mark.
Family Economics Research Group,
Agricultural Research Service, USDA,
Hyattsville, MD 20782.
The entrance of many married women
with children into the labor force has
resulted
in
a
"second-shift"
work
schedule for some and the purchase of
domestic services for others. This study
examines the prevalence of domestic
service use,
expenditures
on these
services,
and
factors
significantly
affecting them for husband-wife households.
Data are from the 1988-89
Consumer Expenditure Survey.
Domestic
services were purchased by 9% of married
couples, with an average annual expense
of $1,265 among purchasers.
Based on
logi t analysis, households where the wife
was employed full time were more likely
than those where the wife was not working
outside
the
home
to
use
domestic
services, although the strength of this
relationship was weak.
The prbsence of
children had no effect on domestic
service use. Results suggest a "secondshift" schedule for most married women.
DOES MATERNAL EMPLOYMENT DETER BREASTFEEDING?: AN EXAMINATION OF THE U.S.
1977-1985. Duberstein, Laura, Population
Studies Center, University of Michigan,
Ann Arbor, MI, 48104.
Amidst the growing recognition that
breast-feeding promotes infant health,
there
has
been
concern
that
the
increasing labor force participation of
mothers with an infant deters breastfeeding and thus may have negative
health implications. This concern arises
from the hypothesis that breast-feeding
and maternal employment are relatively
incompatible behaviors. This study tests
this hypothesis using data from Wave IV
of the National Survey of Family Growth,
a nationally representative sample of
reproductive age women. We find no
evidence to support the hypothesis that
women who work during the postpartum
period a·re less likely to breast-feed
than those who do not work. However,
there is evidence that work-related
factors differentiate among employed
women in a manner which suggests an
incompatibility between breast-feeding
and employment. Although this research
can
not
assign
causality
to
the
relationship between women's employment
and breast-feeding decisions, it offers
a starting place for further research in
this area of growing importance.

THE EFFECTS OF WOMEN'S EMPLOYMENT AND
TRADITIONAL VALUES ON THE MARITAL QUALITY
OF COUPLES WITH PRESCHOOL CHILDREN
Vanlaningham, Jody
University of Nebraska
Lincoln, NE 68588
Using data from the National Survey of Families
and Households, this study examines the effects of
wives' employment and traditional values on marita1
quality among couples with preschool children.
Three measures of traditionalism are included:
gender role traditionalism, maternal role
traditionalism, and religious fundamentalism. The
six dimensions of marital quality examined are
marital happiness, interaction, perceived fairness,
disagreement, instability, and coital frequency. The
results of multiple regression analyses indicate that
the dimensions of marital quality affected by
interactions between traditionalism and wife's hours
in employment are different for wives than for
husbands. Among wives, significant effects were
shown for marital happiness and marital interaction;
for husbands, perceived fairness was the only
dimension significantly affected by the traditionalism-employment interaction.
Participants in a longitudinal
study of young adult transition~
begun in 1982 were recontacted ~n
1990 with 77% responding. Predlctors of 1990 lifestyle choices of
dual career or husband only career
by male and female parents were
identified by a series of discriminant function analyses. Results
found 1982 and 1990 attitudes
toward women's roles to predict
lifestyle in 1990. Well being
among women appeared to be a result
of lifestyle rather than a cause.
Number of children was related to
lifestyles for women, but not

The present study looked at the relationship
between various work conditions on men's and
women's self-esteem and perceptions of their
parenting in dual-earner couples. It was believed
that poor working conditions would be related to
lower levels of self-esteem as well as self reports
of poorer parenting. Home interviews were
conducted with 51 working class, dual-earner
couples with a target child between the ages of 8
and 12. Though correlations showed little to no
relationship between maternal work conditions
and self esteem, better work conditions were
poitively related to fathers' self esteem .
Furthermore, for both mothers and fathers, selfesteem was positively correlated with the amount
of acceptance, control by guilt and lax discipline
that they used in parenting, with stronger effects
for fathers.
STRESS AND CHILD RESPONSIBILITIES FOR

Two studies were conducted to
identify the kinds of child related
responsibilities fathers engage in
that impact their roles as employed
men and to determine the levels of
stress of these experiences.
Empirically generated items concerning
child related responsibilities, from a
study of 77 fathers, were rated for
stress value by 172 fathers in dualearner families.
Factor analysis and
standard scaling procedures permitted
the reduction of these items to a 9item scale that reflects the range of
child responsibilities associated with
high to low stress for employed
fathers.
Results indicated that
fathers are involved with their
children in a variety of ways which
impact their workplace roles and which
result in varying levels of stress.

Austin, TX 78712.
This study examines the cross-sectional and
longitudinal pattern of relationships between
individual differences in mothers' and fathers'
work hours, income, hours with child and parents'
satisfaction with the parent-child relationship. A
model is tested that predicts individual
differences in mothers' and fathers' parental
satisfaction from hours with child which is in tum
predicted by work hours and income. To answer
these questions, data were collected from both
parents in 54 families at two timepoints: when
their child was 20 and 32 months old. As
predicted, parents' decreased individual caregiving
predicted decreased parental satisfaction, but only
at 32 months. As expected, mothers' hours
worked and income predicted mothers' individual
caregiving cross-sectionally at 20 and 32 months
and longitudinally from 20 to 32 months. Fathers'
did not show any relationship, perhaps due to
their lesser role as a caregiver in the family.

State, Logan, Utah 84322-2905;
Data regarding the household
division of labor, as reported by
employees of a Fortune 100
corporation in 1986 and 1991, show
that traditionally segregated gender
roles persist. Husbands whose wives
work full-time feel more responsible
for housework, childcare, and school
interaction than counterparts whose
wives do not work. However, dual
earner husbands do not report more
time in childcare and only
marginally more time in housework
and home maintenance than single
earner husbands.
The comparison of 1991 and 1986
data shows that traditionally male
roles have become slightly less
traditional. However, there is no
pattern of change for traditionally
female roles.

The kind of conflicts over household division of labor as well as rreasures of satisfaction, sex, age, family stage and economic factors were examined. Couples did
agree that warren did the vast majority of
tasks. In relation to conflicts, 34% of
couples reported none, 20% identified
practical conflicts (no tine, tasks are
undone) while 46% pointed to equity issue
conflicts (unfair share, feel burdened).
~ough nearly 40% of rren identified equity
1ssues none were dissatisfied with the
division of labor. A slightly higher %
of worren listed equity conflicts but over
65% were dissatisfied with the division
of labor. A chi-square analysis of age

RURAL WOMEN'S SCHEMATA FOR WORK AND

State Univ., Univ. Park, PA 16802.
Recent years have witnessed a steady increase in the
labor-force participation of rural women. This paper will
focus on the beliefs about work and parenting that these
women hold. Drawing on data collected from in-depth,
intensive and ethnographic interviews from five rural
women in Central Pennsylvania, the paper will analyze
dominant themes and propositions that emerge in the
discourse and identify underlying schemata and mental
models of rural women in relation to work and parenting.
Preliminary contest analyses have revealed that rural
women believe that caretaking is their primary
responsibility and express a need for better alternatives to
child-care. The paper will identify potential target areas
such as employer-assisted child-care, and will make
recommendations for assisting rural women with their
careers.

EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
MARITAL STATUS AND WOMEN'S EMPLOYMENT
IN LATER LIFE. :Pienta. Amy. Dept. of Soc., SUNY at
Buffalo, Amherst, NY 14260.
The goal of this paper is to show that marital status is an
important determinant of labor force participation for older
women aged 55-75.
Much of the literature on the
employment patterns of older women have analyzed data
from the Retirement History Study. Data are analyzed
cross-sectionally from the 1984 Survey of Income ami
Program Participation.
Initially, bi-variate analyses
indicate that at some level women's marital status is related
to their employment behavior in later life. A logit regression
model is estimated showing that there are significant
differences between married and unmarried women, while
controlling for education, age and health. Married women
are less likely to be in the labor force, especially if their
spouse is not in the labor force. Currently unmarried
women are more likely than married women to be in the
labor force late in life. The logit regression model is reestimated for the younger "pre-retirement" group (55-64)
and the older "retirement" group (65-75). Results indicate
that these two cohorts of women have some differences in
the models predicting their employment behavior. The
results show that family status via a vis marital status have
direct connections to women's labor force participation net
of age, health and educational effects. The research has
implications for the study of women's retirement indicating
the need to include measures of family status.

The purpose of this study was to examine the
predictive value of a model comprised of gender-role
attitudes, spousal intimacy, and spousal fusion/individuation for both role strain and time management. Fortyeight dual-career couples with one to three children
participated. Regression analyses showed that the model
was not predictive of time management, but was predictive
of role-strain. Spousal intimacy and gender accounted for
a significant amount of variance in role-strain in the total
sample. Follow-up analyses of husbands and wives
separately revealed a model containing the variables of
spousal fusion/individuation and spousal intimacy as
predictive of role strain for wives.

caregivers' productivity in the workplace; second by
suggesting steps that may be taken by practitioners
interested in developing and managing assistance programs
that effectively meet employees' elder-care needs; third by

It has been suggested that numerous variables
contribute to early adolescents' understanding of family
health promotion beliefs and practices. This study
examined the relationship of locus of control, gender,
health status, and family decision making to early
adolescents' perceptions about family health promotion
practices and beliefs. The questionnaire was developed
by the researchers and consisted of original items and
items adapted from existing scales. The early adolescents'
(n = 149) perceptions of family health practices and beliefs
were measured by four separate Likert-type items; higher
scores on these items were indicative of more health
promotion behaviors. Data were analyzed with ordinary
least squares regression procedures. Locus of control,
family decision making unity, and gender provided the
most explanation about the variance in the health
perceptions. This study pointed out the need for more
in-depth research on these early adolescent-family
variables, for prescriptive theory on family health
promotion, and for educational programs that focus on
empowering early adolescents toward more health
promotive practices and healthier lives.

84602.
Traditionally Navajo and Apache grandmothers
played an important role in the transmission of family
and tribal culture, and a major context for child
socialization was family work shared by grandmothers
and grandchildren. The present role of grandmothergrandchild interaction in shared work was examined
in depth interviews with 18 grandmothers (5 Navajo,
13 Apache) and with other •expert' community
informants in visits to the Apache and Navajo
reservations 1989-1991 .
While the pattern of
grandmother-grandchild cooperation in family tasks
is still common, grandmothers lament that they do
not spend as much time with their grandchildren as
they would like. Part of the reason for reduced
grandparent-grandchild interaction is children's
attendance at school.
More important in the
grandmothers' view is their limited portion of the time
that remains. Nowadays many Apachean children
watch television in their out-of-school time, and the
grandmothers feel powerless to compete with this
technological wonder. Implications of this pattern for
the transmission of tribal culture and for family
solidarity are discussed.

Corporate America began to explore employees' child
care responsibilities 15 years ago, yet today less than 1% of
US companies offer some type of child care assistance. One
of the primary reasons cited for this lack of response is that
many firms fail to perceive any link between employees'
work-family conflicts and their work performance. Indeed,
until companies have a clear perception that employees'
work-family conflicts have an impact on productivity--the
"corporate bottom line"--it is likely widespread reluctance to
introduce family-oriented benefits will remain.
This paper explores the state of the art in the
measurement of work place outcomes. Using their own
research studies as case examples, discussion will center on
the challenges of developing measures that are both
scientifically rigorous and politically feasible within the
corporate environment. Four major themes will be addressed:
(1) Broadening the Definition of Work Outcomes: What
Should We Measure? (2) Understanding the Corporate

Participants in this roundtable will be challenged to
grapple with the issue of vocationalism and family life
education at the secondary level. A recent clarification of
the concept of family life education reveals a new
definition that has a high level of overlap with home
economics education. Historical data in this presentation
will show that home economics dominates family life
education by virtue of its vocational status. In the early
1900s home economics was included in national
vocational legislation because home economics prepared
women for their vocation of homemaking. The question
is whether or not a vocational designation is appropriate
for family life education in the late 1900s when few
women consider their homemaker status as vocational.
Important learning and teaching opportunities for both
men and women are lost within a vocational framework
today.

THE TRIPLE HELIX ROLE MODEL OF ADULT
DEVELOPMENT: APPLICATIONS FOR EDUCATORS,
COUNSELORS AND HEALTH PROFESSIONALS,
Anne McCreary Juhasz, Dept. of Couns. Ed. Psych.,
Loyola Univ., Chicago, lL 60611.
The triple-helix role model of adult development
which is the focus of this paper offers an innovative
framework within which to view a wide range of career
and family options and choices in their timing. The
energy which directs these choices is seen as originating
in the individual's esteem need. The conception of the
dynamic processes of the three role helixes; family, work,
and individual-self, can accommodate the wide variety of
choices available to diverse adult populations as they
develop over a sixty to seventy year life span, now and in
future decades.
The triple-helix role model provides a projective type
of guide for examining one's life. It focuses thinking and
organizes thoughts resulting in a profile which can serve
as a basis for discussion, interpretation and analysis.
TEEN PREGNANCY: DECISION MAKING, CRITICAL
THINKING AND LOCUS OF CONTROL, Mary Lou
Liprie, Debra Berke, Univ. of DE, Newark, DE 19716.
This study examined the relationship of
pregnant/female parenting adolescents' perception of
involvement in family and sexual decision making to
perceived locus of control and critical thinking skills. A
73-item questionnaire was administered to 137 adolescents
in a program for pregnant/female parenting adolescents.
Teens appeared to be internally oriented on locus of
control, have been encouraged to think critically, and are
involved in family decision making.
While teens
considered only short-term outcomes in their sexual
decision making, they reported their families do not
consider short- or long-term consequences in family
decision making. Adults need to recognize and foster the
development of skills which make adolescents more
effective participants in decision making processes.

MATERNAL EMPLOYMENT AND TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES. DeAnna Murphy, Larry
Jensen, Janet Jensen, Center for Studies of the
Family, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT
84602.
This study researched the question of whether
there is a relationship between mother's employment
and the traditional family values held by l ,466 of
their children enrolled in three Universities:
University of Texas, University of Notre Dame, and
Brigham Young University. The dependent variables
were substance abuse and sexual permissiveness.
Data were analyzed using a ANOV A design with
controls for denomination, father's income, sex of
respondent, and mother education and religiosity as
covariates. Analysis of the data indicated that
maternal employment was associated with greater
sexual permissiveness and substance abuse. However, the effects of maternal employment do depend
upon denomination, gender, and father's income as
indicated by the finding of significant interactions
among these variables.
FAMILY ISSUES WITH INTERNATIONAL
RELOCATION, Mary Ann McGovern, Org. for Econ.
Coop. & Dev., 75016 Paris, France.
The advantages of an international relocation are
numerous: opportunity to experience another culture;
learn a new language; travel to new places; and meet
interesting people. Initially the idea can be met with great
excitement, but when reality sets in, one realizes there are
many challenges ahead. This paper will focus on the
"reculturation" process each family must move through,
stresses each family member may encounter, signs and
symptoms of culture shock, and how each person can be
helped to adjust more smoothly to their new homeland.
Data regarding both the stresses and joys that
families experience have been gathered from: interviews
with women in various stages of the life cycle;
questionnaires from women in 4 European cities regarding
their attitudes and the effects of relocation on themselves
and their families; counseling sessions with relocated
families; and personal experience with an international
relocation.

THE SOCIAL SOURCES OF FAMILY
TRANSFORMATION, Arlene Skolnick, lnst. for Hum.
Dev., Univ. of CA, Berkeley, CA 94720.
The dramatic shifts in family life over the past three
decades constitute a major social transformation.
Generally, family scholars have responded to these events
in two ways. First, they have devoted a good deal of
research effort to analyzing specific changes and their
consequences: the increased labor force participation of
wives and mothers, divorce, single parenthood, etc.
Second, they have debated the meaning of these shifts--in
terms of continuity vs change, decline vs "here to stay,"
optimism vs pessimism. Less effort has been devoted
explaining how and why the changes took place. In my
recent book, Embattled Paradise, I link the family
transformation to three long-tenn trends: the shift to a
post-industrial economy; mass longevity other changes in
the life course, a process of "psychological gentrification"
based on rising levels of education and other factors. I
also attempt to place our own period of rapid social
change into historical perspective. At the round table we
will discuss these arguments.

Tyson-Rawson, Hum. Dev. & Fam. Stud., KS State Univ.,

A large proportion of the writings on grief focus on
grief as an individual phenomenon. Even when looking at
grief in families, the focus is often on the individual--on
how the individual is affected by loss in the family or on
the extent to which individual grieving is supported or
undermined by family factors. The round table begins
with a grounding in five recently completed studies of
grief and families. We then proceed to a discussion of
how it makes sense to think of grief as a family
phenomenon, what the fit is between individual grieving
and family grief dynamics, and what the major conceptual
elements might be for a theory of family grief dynamics.

SELF, FRIEND, AND FAMILY INFLUENCES ON
EFFICACY IN YOUNG WOMEN. Walters,Lynda &
Beare,Varga,University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602
Although early life experiences of women result in
greater importance being placed on social responsiveness than instrumental competence, some women
include in their self-evaluations strong feelings of
competence. Those who do, including those whose sexrole orientations include masculine characteristics, tend
to have higher self-esteem. Data were collected from
freshman, college women on self-esteem, sex-role
orientation, personal expectations, peer relationships,
and relationships with parents. Discriminant analysis
was used to differentiate women with high and low selfefficacy scores. Those in masculine and androgynous
sex-role categories clearly had higher self-efficacy.
Perceived expectation of competence from friends and a
good relationship with father were important to the
differentiation of those with high and low efficacy; those
with high efficacy perceived that friends expected
competent behavior and had good relationships with
fathers. Expectations for social acceptability from
mothers may put the development of self-efficacy at risk.
The importance of relationship with parents to selfesteem is confirmed. Equally important, this evidence
indicates that for strong feelings of efficacy, girls need
to develop some traditionally masculine characteristics
and expectations for competence should be clear.

Juvenile delinquency is a social problem that has
grown in scope and depth in the past decade on both
national and local levels. Youth under 18 have
accounted for 15% of all arrests for violent crime and
34% of all arrests for property offenses according to
FBI data. Moreover, this delinquent population can be
expected to maintain their antisocial behavior
throughout adolescence and into adulthood. The family
studies and social work literature document the
presence of family dysfunction in a high frequency of
delinquent youth. The first and second authors have
received a grant to implement and evaluate a family
intervention project in coordination with the juvenile
court system. The project is intended to provide data
on the effectiveness of alternatives to traditional
methods of handling juvenile delinquency (adjudication
and formal probation). The premise of this alternative
approach is to create an integrated intervention program
for first offenders that reduces recidivism rates,
improves academic/school functioning, and modifies
family environment that can be more conducive to
adolescent development and family relationships. The
project includes an eight week psychoeducational
program, brief family therapy, an eight week parent
education program, and academic/tutorial services.
Data at ·pre and post intervention and follow-up is
collected on family functioning, frequency of repeat
offenders, and school grades and attendance. The
workshop will include a discussion on the methods
used to develop a community project across
agencies/departments, approaches to funding,
procedures in implementing the project, details of
intervention, and evaluation data used and analyzed in
the project.
Youth today experience a number of
social ills that make the transition to
adulthood and the
world of work
difficult . These include illiteracy,
inadequate education, poverty, poor
social supports, etc.
This symposium
examines these issues in relation to
human and social capital theory.
We
focus
on
community,
family
and
individual variables as a way to
understand how best to improve the
quality of life for youth.

This symposium is designed to address internal
and external family policies by presenting current
research and program efforts. Families and work will
first be examined with regard to internal family
policies of decision-making in two-generation family
farms and then with regard to collaborative and
innovative efforts between agencies concerned with
social and economic development of rural
communities. Following these presentations, responses
by three leading family professionals representing
diverse areas of expertise will focus on defining an
effective public role for professionals in assisting rural
families facing stressors, ways rural families are
unique, and where research efforts should be directed
to provide information for effective policy
development. The discussion will then be opened for
comments and discussion by symposium attendees. It
is hoped that by bringing together professionals from
various disciplines, participants will have the
opportunity to share common concerns, become aware
of programs in other states, and identify scholars with
similar interests to develop research teams.
A 1988 survey by AARP found that 42% of
caregivers for older farniy members are employed fulltime. This symposium will present data on the interface of work and family roles for employed caregivers
of frail elders. The effects of such multiple roles will
first be presented through research findings from a
study of 400 caregivers, contrasting those who are employed with those outside the work force. From research on the concems of working women in particular,
the health effects of multiple roles--employment and
elder care--will be discussed. The National Long Term
Care Survey provides data for analysis of burdens of
caregiving according to the type of occupation and the
flexibility of the work schedule. A completed survey of
employees and an ongoing study using data from a
nation-wide aging referral company provide information
on employed caregivers in the context of corporate
needs. The discussant comments on the growth of elder
care programs in the corporate sector and implications
of such programs for meeting the long term care needs
of an aging population.

Feminist theory has had a significant impact on the study of family
and clooe relationships in recent years. Feminist critiques of the field
have been and continue to be at the center of controversy. Yet the
growth generated as a result of this new perspective is apparent. Not
only are researchers rethinking the questions they ask and the
methods they use, but long-held assumptions about the nature of the
scientific enterprise are being reevaluated. The goal of this
symposium is two-fold: to provide models of research on family and
clooe relationships which have been influenced by or based on feminist
theory and to share the researchers' own development as they
allempted to integrate feminist perspectives into their work.
Researchers who are currently working within a feminist framework
will present and discuss the development and current status of their
research, and reflect on how feminist perspectives have influenced
their journey through the research enterprise. The tapics to be
discussed include older single women, adult friendships, women who
use violence in dating relationship, and intimacy in the workplace.
Because of the evolving nature of feminist thought in this field, these
programs of research differ significantly in areas such as the way
research questions are conceptualized, the empirical methods used,
and issues which have arisen in the research process as a result of
utilizing a feminist perspective. All participants will address the
following questions: (1) What is a feminist perspective on family and
close relationships? (2) How does such a perspective structure both
research questions and methods? (3) What are the
obstacles/problems in the application of feminist theory to the study
of families and clooe relationships? (4) What does a feminist
perspective contribute to current knowledge on families and clooe
relationships?

Within the legal frameworks we easily find a
number of variations in the concept of family; in
some countries even one person can be labeled
family; in some countries a group cannot be a family
unless it contains a child of minor age; definition of
minor age varies; etc.
Variations in conceptualization are to some
extent culture bound both when taking the
perspectives of the scholars, the practitioners and the
individuals themselves.
The aim of this symposium is to scrutinize the
meaning of terms connected to conceptualizations
within the broad family realm, and to highlight
theoretical, practical, empirical, and political
implications of certain terminological practices.
Since the mid-1970's, adoption practices in North
America have changed dramatically, and the
confidentiality maintained in the past is no longer the
norm. The trend is toward "openness" in adoption, in
which either mediated or direct contact occurs between
the adoptive family and birthparent(s) after the
adcpt:cn has been tinalized. In order to examine both
practical and theoretical issues regarding these
emerging family systems, we designed a study focusing
on the consequences of variations in openness in
adoption for all members of the adoption triad and for
the relationships within these family systems. This
symposium presents findings from several vantage
points: following a description of the study's design,
conceptual framework, and methodology, specific
reports focus on a) how variations in openness are
related to attitudes and adjustment of birthmothers 4 12 years after placement; b) how inclusion or exclusion
of adopted children in the openness is related to their
self-esteem and understanding of adoption; and c) how
relationships between adoptive and birthparents differ
by level of openness. Data will be discussed in terms of
the benefits and challenges associated with each level of
openness and in terms of the dynamics of changing
family relationships over time.

FAMILY SYSTEMS AND ECONOMIC DISTRESS: CRITICAL
FACTORS IN THE SURVNAL OF STOCKBROKERS AND
THEIR FAMILIES.
Anne I. Thompson and Hamilton I.
McCubbin, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1300 Linden
Drive, Madison, WI 53706.
Surprisingly, since the Stack Market Crash of 1929 and
research of the Depression years (Angell, 1936: Koos, 1946),
we continue to presume to understand the impact of major
economic downturns upon the family system and its members.
Even with the relatively recent growth of studies in this area
the need for added research becomes even more apparenL when
we consider the fact that there is a paucity of research on
professional executives, who are key players and therefore the
most likely victims of major economic distress--particularly
in the case of disruption in the stock market and the securities
industry. This investigation attempts to advance research on
economic distress and family stress theory by focusing on a
unique population of investment executives and their families,
and their response to the Stock Market Crash of 1987.
This study of 227 families focused on indices of emotional
distress of investment executives and their spouses in
relationship to both family and work environment factors
which may exacerbate or mitigate the effects of economic
distress created by the Stock Markel crash. The results
revealed that the predictors arc different for husb1mds than for
wives and that these combination of factors also differ for
fan1ily members during the heat of the crisis in contrast to 6 to
8 months following. Gender differences are prcscmed and
explained with a clear indication of what the organization and
family may do to reduce the risks and adverse consequences of
economic distress. SESSION 337-2
THE MEANING OF WORK IN THE LIVES OF POOR,
UNEMPLOYED WOMEN. Jane Grimstad, Ctr. for
Health Policy & Program Eval., Univ. of WI-Madison,
Madison, WI 53705.
This study explored the role of family in the
vocational development of poor, unemployed women to
advance theory regarding work-family relationships, and
promote development of more richly conceptualized
frameworks for family social science and family life
education.
Ethnographic life history data was gathered from
women involved in a Midwest social service program.
Findings are based on 27 hours of interviews with 9
women and sought to explore the meaning these women
give to socialization and/or educational influences from
their families regarding vocational development and work.
Themes of meaning that the family nurtured
regarding work were derived. It has been previously
hypothesized that vocational development is related to
personal work integration (PWI). PWI for this group of
women was achieved when the work of the world was
decreased. In order for self-sufficiency to be achieved,
programs must be cognizant of how PWI is constructed
and act to bring about integration of the work of the world
and the work of the family in ways that enhance wellbeing.

MAINTAINING MARITAL UNITY IN A MOB~E
SOCIETY: THE EFFECTS OF TRA~ING
SPOUSE JOB ASSISTANCE ON DUAL-CAREER
COUPLES. Thomas D. Robbins, Carol A. Darling,
& John M. Robbins. Dept. of Fam., Child, & Cons.
Sci., FSU, Tallahassee, FL 32306.
The purpose of this study was to examine the
influence of family strains, family hardiness, family
coherence, and family coping response upon the
marital satisfaction and quality of life of dual-career
couples who did and did not utilize trailing spouse
job assistance in making their most recent relocation.
A survey research design was employed which
utilized a nation-wide sample of dual-career couples
(n=122) who had moved within the past 18 months
and who had used either a relocation pro- gram from
a consulting company or the lending services of a
mortgage company. Results indicated that the
spouses of both groups had similar success in
securing a job in the new location. Furthermore,
those couples who did not use the job assistance
program had greater coping skills and family
hardiness than those couples who used the support
program. Since these findings suggest that the
limited services provided by current trailing spouse
job assistance programs may be inadequate, further
support in relieving relocation stress and facilitating
family coping strategies is recommended.

MARRIED FEMALES' PERCEPTIONS OF MEN
SHARING HOUSEHOLD TASKS: A BLACK-WHITE
COMPARISON. Aaron Thompson, Dept. of Anth./Soc.
& Soc. Wk., East. KY Univ., Richmond, KY 40475.
This paper examines the influence of different social
and economic variables (age, race, education and income)
that might affect the wife's perception of the role her
husband should have in sharing the household tasks. It
was hypothesized that due to the cultural differences
between black females and white females, perceptions
would differ. The results of Multiple Regression analysis
showed only differences in the age variable.
This research uses a National representative sample
of married white females (N=2847) and married black
females (N=388). Data for these groups are drawn from
the National Survey of Families and Households.

Black Husbands' Economic Problems and
Couples' Resiliency During the Transition
to Marriage. Letha A, Chadiha) GWB
School of Social Work, Washington Univ.,
St. Louis, MO 63130-4899.
This qualitative study examines the
economic problems of black husbands
spontaneously reported by 64 black newlywed couples while telling a story of
their premarital relationship. Resiliency
--ways in which couples endured economic
adversity--is also examined. The sample
was based on the list of all black
registrants applying for a marriage
license in an urban county in SpringSummer, 1986. Results from a content
analysis of story data indicate that
husbands faced a variety of job problems,
e.g., being laid off, and money problems,
e.g., inability to pay wedding costs.
Dyadic and extra-dyadic resources are
helpful to couples in managing economjc
adversity, but couples rely more on dyadic
resources.
Recommendations are offered
about strategies for aiding black couples
who face economic adversity in the
premarital phase.

BLACK STUDENTS' ACHIEVEI'vffiNT
MOTIVATION: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF
PERCEPTIONS. Donna Ford-Harris, Dept.
of Faro. Studies, The University of Kentucky,
Lexington, KY 40506-0054
The study examined the relationship
between Black children's perceptions of
parental achievement orientation and
students' achievement motivation.
Achievement orientation is defined as beliefs
regarding the importance of achievement,
education, and schooling. In essence, how do
Black children's perceptions of parental
achievement orientation affect their
achievement orientation? 148 urban, Black
fifth and sixth graders participated in the
study.
Findings suggest that parental achievement
orientation plays a more significant role than
family demographic variables (parents' level
of education, occupation and employment
status, and presence of father in the home)
in Black students' orientation to achieve and
their support for the American achievement
ideology. Recommendations are provided
for family therapists and educators.

FATHER'S PARENTING BEHAVIORS AS MEDIATORS
IN THE FAMILY STRESS-CHILD MENTAL HEALTH
RELATIONSHIP IN ALCOHOL ABUSING AND NONABUSING FAMILIES. Michaels, M., Roosa, M.,
Tein, J., Groppenbacher, N. PIRC, ASU,
Tempe, Az. 85287-2502
Tested the mediational roles of
parenting in the family stress-child
mental health relationship in alcohol
abusing and non-abusing families. Data
from 146 fathers and their 8-14 year old
children were evaluated on alcoholism
status, multiple risk status, parenting
behaviors, negative life events, and child
mental health. Supportive parenting by
fathers served a perfect mediator in the
stress-child mental health relationship.
However, insensitive parenting by fathers,
in contrast to results found for mothers,
did not serve a mediational role in child
mental health. There was no evidence for
a direct relationship between parental
alcohol abuse and child mental health.
Instead, parental alcohol abuse was
related to higher stress which, in turn,
was related to a decline in parenting
quality. Implications are discussed.

THE INFLUENCE OF FAMILY, EDUCATIONAL INVOLVEMENT, AND FRIENDS ON ADOLESCENT
DRUG USE. Bahr, Stephen J. and Gabe Wang, Brigham
Young University, Provo, UT 84602; Anastasios C. Marcos,
The American College of Greece, Athens, Greece.
A LISREL model which specifies how family, educational involvement, and peers influence adolescent drug use
is developed and tested. The model is derived from social
control and social learning theories. The independent variables are age, educational involvement, family cohesion,
parental monitoring, family drug use, and peer drug use.
Five different categories of drugs are studied: (1) tobacco,
(2) alcohol, (3) marijuana, (4) amphetamines, and (5) cocaine. The data were obtained from a random sample of
27,000 junior and senior high school students. Peer use has
a strong relationship with adolescent drug use. After controlling for level of peer use, the family variables have weak
associations with adolescent drug use. However, family and
educational involvement have significant, indirect influences
on adolecent drug use through their influence on choice of
friends. Through their indirect influences on adolescent drug
use family variables play an important role in drug prevention. Decreasing the probability that adolescents will
associate with peers who use drugs may be more effective
than just trying directly to prevent them from using drugs.
FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH ALCOHOL
USE IN YOUNG ADULTHOOD. Mary E.
Pritchard and Michael J. Martin, Dept. Human &
Fam. Res., No. Ill. U., DeKalb, IL 60520.
The purpose of the study was to identify
characeristics associated with higher levels of
alcohol use. Data from the 1982 and 1986 High
School and Beyond study (n=8,875) were used to
examine the relationship between the response
variables, frequency and intensity of alcohol use
in 1986, and the explanatory variables which
included alcohol use in 1982.
Comparison of alcohol use in the two time
periods revealed an increase in the percentage of
respondents who consumed high levels while
abstention remained relatively constant.
Frequency of use in 1986 was related to use in
1982, sex, family income, locus of control, and
SES. Intensity of use in 1986 was related to use
1982, sex, race, and family orientation.
Findings were consistent with previous studies
which support a sociocultural explanation of
alcohol use.

ATTORNEYS' POLITICAL IDEOLOGICAL BELIEFS
AND DIVORCE SETTLEMENTS: IMPLICATIONS FOR
FAMILY PRACTITIONERS. Ellis, Walter L. Dept. of
Family Studies, Univ. of NH, Durham, NH 03824.
Many divorcing spouses seek advice from marriage and
family counselors about the need for an attorney. Atrny
data were merged with court case data to determine whether
attorneys' political ideological beliefs have an impact on
child support (!!=92) and alimony C!!= 124) awards in
Franklin County, Ohio. Stepwise discriminant analyses (sda)
were performed on backgrd characteristics of atrnys, demo
char of spouses, and legal processes. Predictors from these
analyses were combined into a single sda. Probit analysis
was used to estimate the predictors obtained from this
analysis. Only backgrd characteristics of atmys in the probit
models with p ::;; .1 are discussed. Conservative atmys
reduced (-1.32) the probability of child support being
awarded. Male atmys reduced (-4.43) the probability of
alimony being awarded. Alimony was more likely to be
awarded with male atmys who were self-evaluated as
conservative rather than liberal. Spouses should pursue
liberal counsel when seeking child support. With regard to
alimony, it might behoove wealthier spouses to pursue
liberal counsel while poorer spouses seek conservative
counsel.
It is imperative that marriage and family
counselors encourage their clientele to probe in-depth when
evaluating the backgrd of their potential atrnys.

THE RELATIONSHIP SELF-ASSESSMENT
INVENTORY: A GUIDE TO RESOLVING CONFLICT
IN COUPLES THERAPY. MichaelS. Kolevzon, Dept.
of Social Work, FLInt. Univ., Miami, FL 33181.
The author presents findings from the Relationship
Self-Assessment Inventory (RSAI), designed to measure
the different coping styles by which marital partners
handle stress. The RSAI adheres to the principle that
process is more important than content, hypothesizing that
marital conflict will be more evident where couples
engage in oppositional coping styles, irrespective of the
content or frequency of the specific problem(s) that they
are encountering. Known group, concurrent and construct
validity will be provided. In addition, analysis of the
RSAI will focus on "gender differences," by exploring the
ways in which male and female respondents differ in their
coping styles, and by analyzing "family of origin" data in
an attempt to explain "within group" variability. In
summary, the RSAI transposes our concern for process
?ver c~ntent into a measurement tool relevant for the ways
m whtch we attempt to empirically study as well as
clinically serve human systems.

PARENTAL COALITIONS AND PROBLEM SOLVING IN

REFERRED, AT-RISK AND CONTROL FAMILIES,
Samuel Vuchinich, Barbara Wood. and Chris Coughlin,
Dept. of Human Development and Family Sciences,
Oregon State University,
Corvallis, OR 97330.
This research examined how the strength of the
mother-father alliance influences the effectiveness of
family problem solving in families with a preadolescent
(age 9-12 years). Three samples were analyzed: (1)
families referred for treatment of the child's behavior
problems ([!=30), (2) families with a child at-risk for
juvenile delinquency ([!=68), and (3) control group
families ([!=88). Families were videotaped during two
10-minute family problem solving sessions which
focused on issues which had been salient for family
members at home during the last month. The tapes
were scored in terms of the effectiveness of problem
solving, strength of the parental coalition against the
child, parental conflict and parental agreement. Marital
satisfaction and child externality were controlled.
Multiple regression analysis showed that parental
agreement facilitated, but parental coalitions inhibited,
family problem solving in all three samples. The effects
were much stronger in the referred sample. Thus
parental agreement is benficial as long as it isn't
expressed as a coalition against the child.

HISPANIC,BLACK AND WHITE WOMEN AND ME!!. John, Daohne , Oberlin
College, Dept. of Sociology, Oberlin OH 44074 and Shelton, Beth Mme.
SUNY-Buffalo, Dept. of Sociology, Buffalo, NY 14260.
While there has been an abundance of research on the division of
household labor, questions concerning race and subjective role
perceptions have been left unaddressed. In these analyses we have
examined the impact of racejethnicity and provider role attitude on
men 1s and wom's household labor time. The data used in this study
are fro:m the 1987 National Survey of Families and Households, a
national probability sanple of 91642 respondents with an oversampling
of 31374 ninority respondents.
Using multiple regression analyses 1 we find that attitude toward
the provider role is a significant predictor of wo:men's total time
spent on household labor as well as of time spent on both female-typed
tasks and male-typed tasks. Attitude toward the provider role is also
a significant predictor of men's time spent on male-typed tasks. We
also find that the provider role attitudes affect Hispanic women 1s and
men 1s household labor time li!Ore than white or Black women 1s and men 1s
housahold labor the.
OUr findings support the hypothesis that subjective
perceptions of the provider role are associated with the division of
household labor and suggest that Hispanic households li!ay be more
egalitarian than previously thought. Moreover 1 we find that Black
families similar to white families in terns of the division of
household labor once provider role attitudes and sociodeli!Ographic characteristics have been taken into account.

HOUSEWORK IN DUAL EARNER FAMILIES: DOES THE
DIVISION OF LABOR MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO WORKING WIVES? Christina Marshall, Center for Studies of the
Family, Bri£ham Young U. Provo, Ut. 84604
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship
between the division of household labor, the wife's perception
of the fairness of that division, her appraisal of how interesting
and maneageabit: the work is, her feelings of being appreciated
for Joing lhJU!'c\,.<Jfk J.nd ::he wife's reported level of marital satisfaction, marital conflict and depression. A sample of 1131 dual
earner families with at least one child under 18 living at home
drawn from the 1987-88 National Survey of Households and
Families was used in the analysis.
Manageability of and interest in housework were found to
be unrelated to the dependent variables. Time spent by husbands
and wives in housework was found to be very weakly related to
the wives' level of depression, marital satisfaction and report of
disagreements. The wife's perception of fairness was related to
her report of disagreements and to her marital satisfaction. The
wife's feeling of being appreciated, however, was the l.V. most
strongly related to her marital satisfaction and reports of
disagreements. Results are discussed in terms of Berheide's
(1984) observation that even if women perform quantifiably
more work, they may not perceive the situation as being
oppressive because of the unique relationship they have to family members and family tasks. Berheide suggests this subjectivity
may be a form of false consciousness. The greater explanatory
power of simply being appreciated can be seen as supporting her
argument.

A COUPLE'S DIVISION OF HOUSEHOLD LABOR
AND THE WIFE'S MARITAL HAPPINESS: THE
IMPORTANCE OF IDEOLOGY AND FAMILY
STRUCTURE. Pina, Darlene L. University of Southern
California, L.A., CA. 90089-0191.
This study examines how the relationship between
the division of household labor and the wife's marital
happiness may vary given different ideological
orientations of wives and structural characteristics of
their families. The model used extends equity theory
in ways that reflect contributions of the Feminist
perspective in family sociology. The hypothesis tested
is that an unequal division of household labor is less
likely to be seen as equitable, and therefore marital
happiness will be lower, when: the wife holds an
egalitarian gender ideology, she has children, she
works full-time in the labor force, children andjor a
maid contribute to housework, and she is in a younger
birth cohort. Data came from two groups of subjects
(mean age = 36 and 58; N = 305 and 267) who participated in the third wave (1 988) of the USC
Longitudinal Study of Generations. General linear
modeling techniques were used to test for significant
mean differences in the dependent measures based on
division of labor by contingency variable cross-classifications. Results supported the hypothesis, except in
contrasts between employed vs. non-employed wives.

VISIONS OF EQUALITY AND THOUGHTS ON
POLICY: HOUSEHOLD LABOR, CHILDCARE AND
THE DISCOURSE OF "DIFFERENCE". Hausbeck,
Kathryn W., Dept. of Sociology, SUNY at Buffalo,
Amherst, NY 14260.
This paper evaluates the emerging feminist debate
regarding whether the Equality or Difference paradigm
should be the prevailing framework guiding theory,
research, and policy on women, work and family. The
former largely characterized 2nd wave feminism of the
1970's and it is criticized for forcing women to be like
men. The latter is a woman-centered approach which is
criticized for reifying gender differences.
As both
paradigms prove to be problematic, I have developed the
Symmetry paradigm which includes both biological
differences of reproduction and social differences in
household labor and childcare responsibilities, and which
rejects rigid distinctions between the public and private
spheres. Finally, all 3 theories are compared and applied
in the evaluation of 3 contemporary work and family
policy issues: family leave, comparable worth and fetal
protection policies. I conclude that advocating theories
and policies that embody either androgyny or difference
are risky in as much as feminist intentions are often
distorted in state and corporate policy making. Thus, I
advocate adoption of the Symmetry model as a more
complete and potentially successful strategy for improving
the state of work and family relations.
DETERl\UNANTS OF FATHER'S
PARTICIPATION IN CHILD CARE. Robert
Tuttle, Dept. of Sociology, Wilkes
University, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766.
The National Survev of Families and
Households is used to ~xamine the
determinants of father's participation in
child care. Fathers who are the primary
caregivers of their children while
mothers work in paid labor are compared
to fathers who are are not the primary
caregivers of their children. Findings
from discriminant function analysis show
that fathers with less education lower
'
incomes, and more traditional attitudes
tO\\·ards child care are more likely to care
for their children. In addition, fathers
are more likely to care for children if the
parents work different shifts, and if
mothers work part-time. It is concluded
that in many of these families, child care
arrangements may not be a situation of
choice, and these families may be facing
large amounts of stress. It is suggested
that more research is necessary on why
families choose this type of child care, and
what can be done to assist them.

Traditionally, attention has focused on efforts to
improve the job skills of unemployed AFDC mothers.
More recently efforts have turned to improving the job
skills of unemployed AFDC fathers. This discussion
examines the effectiveness of such efforts within the
current economic context. It also focuses on the effectiveness of the AFDC-UP program as an aid to the economic functioning of families with an unemployed parent.
Implications for family policy are discussed.
The role of unemployment insurance in addressing
·the economic needs of families of unemployed persons
also is discussed. The discussion is based on a review of
recent developments in the UI program and n.~l analyses of
the relationship between UI benefits and poverty. Although benefits helped to address the economic needs of
families of unemployed persons prior to 1985, in 1985,
they did not. These findings highlight the changes that
occurred in the program during the last decade when many
states severely restricted eligibility for benefits and cut
benefits accordingly. Implications for family policy are

FIRST-TllvlE FATHERS' EXPERIENCES USING INFANT
DAY CARE AND COMBINING PARENTING AND
EMPLOYMENT. Claudia Shuster, HDFR, Univ. of CT,
Storrs, CT 06268.
Research on combining work and family responsibilities and using day care has focused on the experiences of
employed mothers; the experiences of the husbands of these
women has not been investigated.
This study examined the infant day care experiences of
37 first-time fathers. All were members of dual-earner
couples. Their wives returned to work within 4 months of
the infants' birth infant and they regularly utilized child care
for the infants.
Data were collected via questionnaires and interviews at
infant age 4 to 5 months (when their wives were employed
and the infants were attending day care). The study examined fathers' feelings about combining work and family
responsibilities and using day care during their first borns'
infancy.
The majority of men expressed concerns about using
day care for their infants. One third were dissatisfied with
their parental leave time and half were not satisfied with their
opportunities to work part-time. Correlational results indicate
that fathers' day care experiences were positively associated
with their perceived level of support at work and support
from friends and relatives, the quality of their infants' day
care environment, and their desire for their wives to be
working.
Results suggest that employers developing personnel
policies addressing the needs of dual-earner families should
consider the needs and concerns of fathers as well as
mothers.

THE EFFECTS OF RELIGIOUS
ORIENTATION ON COUPLE FORMATION
AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS. Margaret
H. Young & Jay D. Schvaneveldt,
Dept. of FHD, Utah State
University, Logan, UT 84322-2905.
In this study the effects of
religious orientation on couple
formation are studied. Using an
exchange theory perspective, the
findings indicate that religion is
an important factor when values,
marital history, health, and
substance use are considered in a
future companion. Attitudes
towards cohabitation did not differ
significantly across the religious
categories, although students
viewed it more favorably than their
parents. Participants indicated
that spirituality, Christianity,
and being together forever are
important considerations when
choosing a partner. Interestingly,
a number of respondents noted that
God plays a vital role in couple
formation.
A NATIONAL PROFILE OF TEEN FATHERS. Maureen
Pirog-Good, Assoc. Prof., Sch. of Pub. & Env. Affairs, IN
Univ., Bloomington, IN 47401.
In the US birth cohort, of young men ages 14-21 in
1979, about 7.3% or 1,200,000 young men had become fathers in their teens. In contrast to the characteristics of teen
mothers, very little is currently known about the antecedents,
consequences, and characteristics associated with teenage paternity. Unlike others who have focused on young fathers
(men who become fathers up through their late twenties) this
article will present the first comprehensive overview of the
teen father population. The analyses are based on the
National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market ExperiencesUse Cohort (NLSY). These data contain 6,403 observations
on young men who were surveyed annually between 1979 to
1989.
The foci of the paper are the personal, family, neighborhood, and behavioral characteristics of teen fathers.
Preliminary univariate analyses indicate that on virtually
every dimension examined, teen fathers fare worse than
young men who defer parenting until their twenties or later.
The multivariate analyses will extend the preliminary analyses
by controlling for the characteristics of young men and their
families. Particular attention will focus on the educational and
labor market outcomes for teen fathers by their mid to late
twenties. The implications for educators, child support enforcement, government-sponsored employment/training programs, and income support programs will be discussed.

Univ. of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G2H4 and L.
Walter Goltz, North American Baptist College.
We tested the hypothesis that commitment to
family values and regular church attendance
inversely influences individualistic attitudes and
values.
The data are based on face to face
interviews conducted with one respondent in a
random sample of 443 households in Edmonton,
Alberta in 1989. The dependent variable is based on
13 indicators with an alpha of . 80. The predictor
variables included measures relating to marital
commitment, marital quality, marital agreement,
family satisfaction, personal satisfaction, age, marital
status, education, income, and religiosity. The
index of individualistic attitudes is regressed. Five
variables entered the equation and explained 45% of
the variation in individualistic attitudes.
Age
explained over half of the variance. Two measures
of family commitment, church attendance in last 4
weeks, and ever-lived common law explain the
remainder of the variance.

Evidence indicates that suicide among adolescents in the
U.S. is a serious problem that is increasing. In trying to
explain suicidal ideation, research efforts have focused
separately on the effect of individual, family, school,
religious, and peer factors. Few studies have simultane-ously
tested the effect of all these distinct interacting microsystem.
In the preliminary analyses, reported here. personal (selfderogation) and family (marital cont1ict, parent-child cont1ict,
and parental affection and accep-tance) factors as predictors
of suicidal ideation in a sample of 523 middle-class, white
youth ages 11-16 (23 I boys and 292 girlsl from a suburban
southeastern city were in-cluded. Bronfenbrenner'secological
model is used to pro-vide the theoretical basis. Results of
path analysis provided support for including different
microsystems simultaneous-ly and the need for testing
separately for boys and girls of different age groups. selfderogation had greater asso-ciations with the suicidal ideation
of middle adolescent boys (r= .54***) and girls (r= .43***)
than on pre-adoles-cent boys (r= .06) and girls (r= .34*).
Family had a higher impact on boys suicidal ideation than on

FAMILY DIFFERENTIATION: CONCEPTUAL AND EMPIRICAL
EXPLORATION IN RELATION TO ADOLESCENT IDENTITY
FORMATION. Buehler. Cheryl, Dept. of Child and Fam. Studies,
Univ. of TN, Knoxville, TN 37916·1900.
The purpose of this study is to examine the idea that
differentiation is a family, rather than individual, level construct.
As forwarded by Anderson and Sabatelli (1990}, differentiation is
conceptualized as "a family level variable dealing with patterns of
distance regulation", whereas individuation is conceptualized as
"an Individual developmental process" of identity formation (p.
32). This examination has been divided into two parts. Firs~ the
relationships among family cohesion, adaptability, and
differentiation are explored. Second, the relationships among
these three variables and adolescent Individuation are modelled.
Data were collected from 282 college freshmen and sophomores.
Each variable was measured using two established self-report
measures. In addition, some of the adolescents' parents agreed
to complete the questionnaire. Thus, the assessment of family
differentiation in connection with cohesion and adaptability is
strengthened by the use of a multimeasure, multisource
assessment plan. Construct validity of the measures of
differentiation will be examined using zero-order correlations and
confirmatory factor analysis (the measurement model in LJSREL).
The relationships among differentiation, cohesion, adaptability,
and individuation will be examined using OLS regression and
structural modelling (if the measurement model is adequate). The
result of this examination will be used to further the
conceptualization and theorizing related to family differentiation.

Women who assume a traditional family role

In this study, six family types; single, married no
children, married children, divorced no children,
divorced children, remarried no children, and
remarried children were studied. Both personal
happiness and family life happiness were used as
dependent variables. The data were derived from
1385 women living in Utah during 1990. It was
found that the most happy family type was remarried
with no children, whereas non married and divorced
no children scored the least happy in family life and
the same pattern was found for personal happiness,
with the addition that divorced with and without

Many studies have examined the effects of economic hardship on marital

This study focuses on the sibling relationship as a
factor in determining the impact of parents'
harsh parenting on adolescent
self-esteem.
We expect that a warm,
supportive sibling relationship will act
as a 'buffer' for the adolescent while a
hostile relationship will amplify the
negative impact of harsh parenting. The
analyses are based on a sample of 451
sibling pairs from intact families in a

37996-1900.
This study tested a model of determinants of
abusive parenting among a representative sample of
591 natural, dual-parent, white families with adolescents. Data came from the National Survey of Families and Households. Belsky's conceptual framework
guided the selection of several measures of parenting
determinants representing general categories of parental
well-being (e.g., depression, health, parenting satisfaction), child characteristics (e.g., problem history, personality), and contextual sources of stress and support
(work satisfaction, social network, marital conflict).
The model was tested for age, sex, and social class
variations. Findings revealed that abusive parenting
was most closely associated with marital conflict and
parents' perceptions of their adolescent as aversive.
These negative perceptions were particularly salient for
less educated mothers. The findings are discussed in
terms of past research on samples with younger children and the potential role of developmental Issues
associated with adolescence.

PARENTS AS RESOURCES WHEN ADULT
CHILDREN DIVORCE. Raeann R. Hamon, Behav. Sci.
Dept., Messiah Col., Grantham, PA 17027.
Although a vast proportion of the literature of the last
decade has been devoted to the role of adult children in
caring for aging parents, family specialists need to
acknowledge how older parents continue to function as
family resources to their adult children who are coping
with major life problems. This paper specifically focuses
on how aging parents serve as resources when their adult
children experience dissolution of their marriages. Fiftytwo parents, ranging from 54 to 87 years of age, were
asked to describe their experience of their adult children's
divorces and to reflect upon ways in which they were
helpful to their children during this life transition.
Taxonomical analyses of the qualitative data were
conducted. Results suggest that virtually all of the parents
aided their children in one way or another. Frequently
cited modes of instrumental assistance included provision
of financial support for basic needs, attorney fees, or
mortgage payments; housing; and childcare. Emotional
support was also freely given. Implications for both the
parents and the adult children will be delineated.
The purpose of this study was to examine how
adolescents' perceptions of family system characteristics
(i.e., bonding, flexibility, time and routines, and
celebrations), parental behaviors (support, induction,
coercion, and love withdrawal), and demographic factors
(gender, age, mother's employment status, and number of
children in the families) predicted adolescent family life
satisfaction. Self-report questionnaire data were collected
from a sample of 476 high school students. Bivariate
correlations and multiple regression analysis were used to
test the hypotheses. Results of the multiple regression
analysis indicated adolescent perceptions of family
bonding, family flexibility, parental support yielded
significant positive beta coefficients (Q ~ .05), while
perceptions of parental coercion showed a signficant
negative relation (Q ~ .05) to adolescent family life
satisfaction. The regression model accounted for 51 % of
the variance in adolescent family life satisfaction. Thus,
the results supported previous research that has shown the
importance of families providing flexibility while
providing a supportive base from which adolescents can
explore the world. Implications of the findings are
discussed.

Divorce and other marital problems--not alcohol or

The results of that survey will be presented, together
with ways to resolve divorce and marital problems, such

50% of parents quickly having voluntary separation
agreements rather than protracted litigation that affects
work and home; how "resource" persons in government
agencies have cut down on work loss time for persons
experiencing marital difficulties.

FATHER INVOLVEMENT POSTDIVORCE. J. A.
Arditti, T. Z. Keith, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA
24061.
A conceptual model of father involvement
postdivorce was tested via estimation with analysis of
covariance structures in the LISREL 7 program using self
reported data from 220 divorced fathers.
It was
hypothesized that father-child contact would be greater
when there is joint custody, is satisfied with his custody
arrangement, has a positive relationship with his ex-wife,
lives closer to his children and had a satisfactory legal
experience when divorcing. It was also hypothesized that
more frequent father-child contact is related to child
support payment and visitation quality.
Results partially supported our hypotheses. Frequent
father-child contact as well as positive relations with the
former spouse were directly related to the visitation
quality. Higher SES and living near one's children was
associated with child support payment. The relationship
between visitation quality and child support payment was
insignificant.
Conclusions and implications will be

Guided by feminist Marxist theory,
this study found that of the eight variables examined, economic stress was the
best predictor of post-divorce distress
for custodial mothers m1d their dlildren.
Path analysis revealed that impact of
post-divorce incorre was rrediated by an
associated high degree of change in the
physical and social context.
Post- to pre-separation incorre ratio
was a better indicator of well-being
than present absolute incorre, with a
negative relationship found. However,
diminished incorre ratios from fulltirre
employment did not ameliorate postdivorce distress of custodial mothers of
pre-adolescent children. To enhance
children's post-divorce adjustrrent, social policy must attend to support of
custodial mothers in ways beyond enhancing their employability.

This paper examines how the payment and receipt of
child support affects stepfamily and individual well-being.
Findings from 2 studies are reported. A preliminary study
(Q=74) revealed few significant differences in stepfamily
adjustment between those who paid and those who
received child support, as well as between those receiving
child support who reported their former spouse to be
compliant or non-compliant in payments. Perceived
adequacy of family income was significantly different
between groups. Descriptive information is offered on
changes in child support following remarriage. Due to the
restrictive nature of the sample, a 2nd study attempted to
determine how the degree of compliance in payment or receipt of child support affects the individual's in
stepfamilies well-being (Q=278) with data from the Natl.
Survey of Families and Households. Also, key factors
affecting the relationship between compliance and wellbeing are examined, e.g., the ex-spouse relationship and

from community-based theories of altruistic behavior were
examined using correlation and multiple regression
analysis. Findings include: 1) saliency of risk and level of
education are separate factors in AIDS awareness_. 2)
Models of AIDS awareness differ by gender. 3) AIDS
altruism is positively associated with personal knowledge
of AIDS patients and negatively associated with indicators
of political conservatism. 3) Sociological theories of
altruism are incomplete explanations for AIDS altruism in
this sample. The study implies that assessment of public
attitudes about critical policy issues is an important
component in building the federal response to AIDS.

With the variety of issues currently facing families, it is
important to know what issues impact a specific geographical
arelil more than others. Often, policy makers have limited
funding to address issues so it is important that they lcnow what
issues are most important before funding research or
intervention programs to address " given issue.
A survey questionnaire identifying 33 issues facing
AmeriC80 families was sent to a sample of 1631 Utah residents.
The questionnaire briefly identified each issue and asked
respondents to rate each issue on a Likert type scale from 1 to
10; 1 being the least important and 10 being the most important.
There were 985 respondents (61% return rate). The
demographics of gender, income, education, location (rural or
urban), age and marital status were examined for differences in
perceived urgency of need to address each of the 33 issues.
This wu dooe by mnalyzing the variance between demographic
subcategories of the responses.
This study indicates that education and income have

Carol RubinQ, New York State
Education Department, Albany, NY 12234.
A pressing issue facing our nation today is time
conflict in dual earner families. Some workplace
policies may reduce this conflict, but there is wide
variation in their availability and well-founded concern
about expansion of benefits when the levels of traditional benefits such as health care and retirement are
jeopardized. Unions may help mediate work-family
time conflict by negotiating favorable benefits packages for their workers, but a recent report from the
National Academy of Sciences points to major deficiencies in our knowledge of work-family conflict and
.accommodation. I use survey data from a representative sample of 1000 Ohio union and non-union households. I profile existing benefits for union and nonunionized workers; obtain workers' ranked preferences
for a wide variety of traditional and newer, "family-friendly" benefits; and test the effects of workplace
benefit packages on degree of work-family time
conflict, on household division of labor and on overall
job satisfaction. I evaluate whether unions help
families reduce work-family time conflict.
This paper describes the New York State Education
Department's Board of Regents policy regarding
parent partnerships, the principles underlying them
and obstacles which can stand in their way.
In recent years, the Regents have taken many
actions to improve educational outcomes of all
students. To accomplish this they sought better ways
to call upon the talents, cooperation and collaboration
of school boards, school staff, the community, family
service organizations, businesses, industries and all
parents, especially working parents. This requires
the cooperation of the businesses and industries
where parents are employed, as well as the
cooperation of employees'· unions. Employers must
consider multi-activities and policies which make it
possible tor parents to participate.
Though the
success of parent partnerships depends on the
assistance from and understanding of the whole
community, the important role of business, industry
and labor and the specific actions these groups can
take, to assist working parents in this process, is
clearly defined in this Regents policy.

This paper discusses relevant aspects of the sociopolitical situation in the UK and considers the range of

introduced in this context. We present qualitative data
from interviews with management in public and private
sector organizations employing family oriented policies.
Results suggest that innovative family policies introduced
as an antidote to recruitment an retention problems, rather
than a commitment to equal opportunities, have a limited
impact on the ways in which work and family
responsibility are socially constructed. We argue that
some employer initiatives actually exacerbate inequalities
which have been perpetuated by the sexual division of
labor. The results highlight the need for systematic
evaluation of family oriented policies from the perspectives of management, employees and the wider family,
using both psychological and sociological levels of

single mothers and 710 mothers in two-parent families
as to their family demographic characteristics and their
perceptions of stress, resources, social support, and
family adaptability and cohesion. Statistically significant
differences were found in family demographic
characteristics and in perceptions of family functioning.
Generally, single mothers were younger, had less
education, lower incomes, and received more public
assistance. Similar percents of mothers in single and
two-parent families worked outside the home. All single
mothers (caucasian and non-causasian) reported less
social support, resources, and family cohesion. Only the
caucasian single mothers reported more stress and less
adaptability when compared with the caucasian mothers
in two-parent families. The relationships between the
variables, investigating which variables most influence

THE FAMILY IN THE HOSPITAL: DIMENSIONS
OF FAMILY CARE IN CRITICAL CARE UNITS,
Chesla. Catherine A., Dept. of Family Health Care
Nursing, Vniv of California, San Francisco, CA 94143
This phenomenologic study compares theories of
family care and actual practice of family-nursing in
critical care units (CCV). In group interviews, 130
CCV nurses from eight hospitals, representing
beginning through expert practice provided narratives
of patient care episodes from recent practice. A
subsample of 48 nurses were observed 3 times during
their regular CCV practice. Hermeneutic
interpretations of narrative and observational texts
were completed and consensually validated by a
research team of nurses and social scientists.
Institutional structures, professional norms and
family-nursing skill levels impact the family care
provided. Institutional structures systematically
distance families from direct understanding of and
involvement in patient care. Actual practice reveals
professional expectations of family involvement only
during birth, illness of a child or terminal illness.
Differing family-nursing skill levels are evident but do
not parallel nurses' skills in their general practice.
CCV's which combine strict institutional prohibitions
to family involvement and lower levels of familynursing skills often result in conflictual family-provider
relations.

OLDER FAMILIES RESPONSES TO STRESSORS OF
ADULT CHILDREN WITH :MENTAL RETARDATION.
Ellie Brubaker, Dept. of Soc./Anth., Timothy H. Brubaker,
Fam. & Child Stud. Ctr., Miami Univ., Oxford, OH
45056.
Data were collected from families who provide care
to adult family members with mental retardation (N=388).
96 families were interviewed in depth. The work of these
older family caregivers is to provide care and to make
future plans for their adult members with mental retardation. The physical, time, and financial ability to provide
for the dependent family member are analyzes. The
ability of families to make future plans for the dependent
family member include financial, social, physical, and
residential issues.
Data regarding these issues are
presented as well. These data are viewed from a
contextual model (Brubaker and Brubaker, forthcoming)
which examines families' responses to an encountered
stressor. The difference between these family caregivers
and others includes: the extent of time in which they
experience the stressor; the response of society to the
stressor they experience; the age of the caregiver and
recipient of care; and the confining resources they
encounter. Implications for family practitioners, family
educators and policy are presented.

Tweed, Program for Prevention Research,
AZ State University, Tempe, AZ 85287-2502
We tested models of problem drinking
families' influences on children's
mental health in which family system
strengths, family coping style, and
family routines served as mediators or
moderators of the stress-child mental
health relationship. Both models were
tested with data from interviews with
parents and children in 303 families;
one-half of the families had a problem
drinking parent. Results showed that the
mediator model fit the data well but
that none of the family variables served
as significant mediators of child mental
health. Tests of the family variables as
moderators showed that stable life events
had a buffering effect on the stresschild mental health relationship.
Implications for family theory and for
interventions with problem drinking

Brigham Young Univ., Provo, UT 84604.
This study presents the results of a multi-faceted research project designed to make several contributions to the
literature about family stress. Quantitative and qualitative
data were gathered during in-depth interviews and observations with 51 families experiencing 6 different stressful
situations. The 6 stressors were: bankruptcy, infertility, a
child being institutionalized due to illness, a displaced
homemaker, a child with muscular dystrophy, and a rebellious
teenager. The research was designed to test and add to some
of the ideas developed in a systems theory of family stress
which was presented at the NCFR meetings in 1989. The
findings provide support for the idea that there is a sequential
pattern in the way families use coping strategies that are
attempts to make first-order, second-order and third-order
'changes. The findings also discover that the dominant model
describing the way family functioning responds to family
stress, Koos' roller coaster model, is too simplistic. The data
demonstrate that there are 5 patterns in the way overall
family functioning responds to stress. The findings also deal
with the previously unresearched question of how various
aspects of family systems change under stress, and it was
found that aspects such as communication and cohesion are
affected quite differently from other aspects such as emotions
and task performance. Findings will also be presented about
which coping strategies tend to be more and less used, which
are more and less helpful and which may be harmful as
familes try to cope with 6 different stressors.

We examined the measurment integrity
of a family centered written survey, The
Family Functioning Style Scale (Deal,--Trivette, & Dunst, 1988), that has
potential for use with families that
contain an infant or toddler with a
disability as part of the development of
an Individualized Family Service Plan
(IFSP). Forty seven mothers having their
children enrolled in early intervention
programs completed the FFSS. Cronbach's
alpha for total scores was 0.93. Data
were subjected to a principal components
analysis followed by rotation to the
varimax criterion. Based on Cattell's
"scree" test, five factors accounting
for 70% of the variance were extracted.
Re9ults indicate that overall the FFSS

We tested and compared two SEM for an older
adults sample: a model on coping with health
events and a model on coping with family events.
85 males and 153 females with a mean age of
80.04 were tested. Personality, life events, coping,
and mental health were assessed. The data were
analyzed with PLS Soft Modeling. The results
show that exposure to more life events is a good
predictor for coping especially for active coping with
family events. Extraversion and anxiety also
predicted active coping with health events. Both
coping with health and family events did not predict
any of the outcome variables. Mental health was
predicted by low levels of anxiety, extraversion and
social support in both models. The overall models
show similar patterns of health coping and family
coping, even though the predictors are different.
The results in this study imply that the contextual of
two structural equation models are similar in older

MARRIAGE WORKS: SPOUSAL CAREGIVERS MAKE A DIFFERENCE
FOR WOMEN WITH HEART DISEASE. Rankin, Sally, Dept. of
Family Health Care Nursing, University of California,
San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, 94143-0606,
The purpose of this exploratory study is to compare
the psychosocial profile (mood disturbance and
satisfaction with family function) of women with heart
disease who have spousal caregivers available to them
with women who are being cared for by non-spousal
caregivers. The social support offered by a spouse is
theorized to buffer mood disturbance and to enhance
satisfaction with family functioning. A convenience
sample of married women with heart disease (n=24) were
compared to a group of widowed, divorced, and nevermarried women (n-19) who were part of a larger study
of patients and caregivers.
Subjects completed the
Profile of Mood States and the Family APGAR within six
months
of
a major
cardiac
event
(myocardial
infarction, cardiac surgery, or major change in
diagnosis).
Significant differences on the POMS
depression subscale were revealed between married and
unmarried women (t=lO. 21; p=<. 00001).
Satisfaction
with family function was also significantly higher for
the married women (t:l.72; p=.05). Findings support
the thesis that the marital relationship works to
buffer the stresses encountered in heart disease.
These exploratory findings suggest that unmarried
women coping with heart disease may need greater

Co. State Univ., Ft. Collins, CO 80523.
The purpose of the study was to describe the behaviors, attitudes, and
coping skills of caregivers to people
with AIDS (PWAs) in a small metropolitan area in NC. Utlizing an ethnographic design based in symbolic interaction theory, 31 caregivers to PWAs were
interviewed. Participants were found to
have high degrees of filial responsibility, volunteerism, compassion, education, resourcefulness, and self esteem.
A major component of health care delivery in AIDS was found to be family
caregivers, who give care longer and
for more hours per week than do volunteers.
This unique study describes the participation of family caregivers of PWAs
in a small metropolitan area. The impact of AIDS caregiving on family systems of health, employment, finances,
and interpersonal relations is discussed. Psychosocial issues for AIDS caregivers and PWAs are reviewed. Strategies for recruitment, training, and maintenance of caregivers are proposed.
THE STRESS-ILLNESS RELATIONSHIP IN HIV
INFECTED MEN. Mary Kay DeGenova, Denise Patton,
Dept. of Child Dev. & Fam. Stud., Purdue Univ., West
Lafayette, IN 47907.
We examined whether or not a stress-illness
relationship existed in men infected with HIV. A sample
of HIV-infected men from Indiana (n=83) completed
questionnaires. Stress was measured using an adaptation
of the Schedule of Life Events by Holmes and Rahe.
Illness was measured by a scale developed by the
researchers with the help of nurses knowledgeable about
HIV infection. The data were analyzed using multiple
regression. After controlling for number of months
diagnosed with HIV, social support, and age, stress in the
last year predicted a significant portion of the variance of
physical illness experienced in the last year. HIV -infected
men who were under more stress reported higher illness
scores. More importantly, the length of time one has been
infected with HIV is only significant in predicting illness
for those under high stress. Results support the thesis that
there is a relationship between stress and illness in HIVinfected individuals. We suggest designing programs for
HIV infected individuals to help deal and reduce the stress
in their lives.

In this study the attitudes and knowledge of AIDS
were examined in a sample of 233 Native Americans
living on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South
Dakota. AIDS attitude and knowledge were measured
using the AIDS Information and Opinion Survey
developed by Wolitski and Rhodes (1988). The data were
analyzed using various methods of descriptive statistics.
As was hypothesized, respondents with higher levels of
education were more often found in the high
knowledgeables category than those with lower
educational levels. There was no relationship between the
overall attitude mean of respondents and their knowledge
level. However, three of the sub-scales of attitude,
perceived personal vulnerability, disease severity, and
disease information, were significantly related to
respondent's knowledge level. The need for accurate
education information designed to reach several facets of
the Native American community is emphasized that
discussed, as well as areas in need of further investigation.

THE STIGMA OF AIDS: IMPLICATIONS FOR
FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION Lambert, Jnmes D, &
Brubaker, Timothy H., Family & Child Studies Center,
Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, 45056.
The number of AIDS victims and their families has
grown dramatically in the past few years. In some
situations, persons with AIDS and their families have
experienced irrational public reaction (Bishop ct. al,
1991). Further, 1l1ere is an urgent need for theory to aid
our understanding of this phenomenon. This will help
family life educators to provide prevention and
intervention training to those infected and their families.
This paper seeks to explain the stigma attached to
AIDS by building on attribution theory(Weiner, 1992).
The key constructs include a) structural variables( e.g.
gender, proximity), b) social-psychological variables( e.g.
homophobia, fear of contagion), c) causal
controllability(Weiner,1992); and d) degree of
stigmatization(Goffman,1963). Implications of this
tl1eoretical model for family life educators will be

Discriminant analyses were conducted to
develop a profile of care giving families at risk for
high conflict that impairs family functioning. Data
were collected from 37 multigenerational families
who volunteered to participate in a longitudinal
study on dementia and family caregiving. Family
perceptions were analyzed in verbatim transcripts of
family interviews with the aid of the Minnesota
Contextual Content Analysis computer program.
Two observers rated the degree of family conflict in
videotaped family discussions of caregiving.
Families with spouse caregivers under the age of 65
were at greater risk for high dysfunctional conflict
than families with older spouse caregivers.
Caregiving families who emphasized negative
emotion in their conversations about living with a
member with Alzheimer's disease were at greater
risk of high conflict than families who
acknowledged disease-related changes and
expressed a wider range of affect. Intervention
needs to be designed for caregiving families who
have difficulty resolving conflict.
The purpose of this study was to explore the
experiences survivors of childhood sexual abuse
have had which have helped to mitigate the early
experience of sexual abuse. Participants in the study
were selected by their response to a newspaper
article on sexual abuse. Of the seventy respondents,
48% described themselves as well or adequately
functioning with little or no emotional distress. Of
those 48%, 25 women volunteered to participate in
an interview designed to elicit from them the factors
which they perceived important in helping them to
survive the experience of childhood sexual abuse.
All the interviews were audiotaped and transcribed.
The computer program, ethnograph, was used to
conduct a content and theme analysis of the
transcribed sessions. This presentation will highlight
the qualitative methodology, interview process, and
the results of this study. Results will include an

RELATIONSHIPS. Katherine L. Johnson, Soc. Sci. Div.,
Niagara Commun. Col., Sanborn, NY 14132.
Hypotheses derived from social exchange theory;
higher levels of conflict/violence will be reported in dating
relationships in which at least one has few 'objective'
resources (employment status, family income and parents
education. ses) were tested with eighty-six dating couples.
Conflict is calculated using six items measuring quarreling
in the relationship. Physical violence is measured using
the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS). Two way analysis of
variance was used. Conflict is highest when both partners
are unemployed and when both partners are employed.
This suggests that when both partners are employed other
resources, like "time spent together" are low. When the
parents of both partners educational status is low or when
partner's ses is low, women report higher levels of conflict
and violence. Women are also likely to experience more
conflict when their partner's ses is low. Women use more
violence when there is an imbalance in the total family
income, or when the men's income is lower. Women are
more likely to be physically aggressive toward men whose
status is "different" from theirs, or whose status is low.

This study investigated the mediating effects of conflict
resolution strategies and marital distress in the link
between men's family of origin violence and wife battering. Subjects were 1836 men who participated in the
Second National Family Violence Survey. Witnessing of
interparental violence was determined by asking subjects
if, and how often, their father hit or threw something at
their mother when they were teenagers. Conflict
resolution strategies were assessed using the Reasoning
and Verbal Aggression subscales of the Conflict Tactics
Scales (CI'S). Marital distress was measured by asking
subjects how often in the past year they wondered
whether they should continue their relationship. Wife
battering was assessed using the Violence subscale of the
crs. All variables were entered into a path model
(LISREL) to predict wife battering. Results revealed
that the link between witnessing interparental violence
and wife battering is mediated by ineffective conflict
resolution strategies and marital distress. The findings

predictions were dertved from the systems concept
that open, flexible boundaries allow the exchange of
Information and resources between subsystems and
tend to facilitate health.
Couple systems
characterized by rtgldity and a lack of openness in
attitudes and behaviors tend to be more conllictual
and, therefore, are susceptible to incidences of
physical violence. A national sample of 1712
couples was administered a 204 item questionnaire
measuring compatibility and readiness for marriage.
Within the subsample of 170 violent couples, roughly
twice as many women as men engaged in physical
violence against their partners, according to both
self-report and partner perception. However, men
were twice as likely as women to deny violence
reported by their partners. The variables of
flexibility, differences in gender role attitudes, and
history of family violence significantly disc:rtminated
between violent and non-violent couples.

Using szinovacz's (1983) model to analyze couple
data regarding marital violence (contrasted to sampling
spouses from different marriages), we studied 94
military couples' agreement about abusive behaviors and
also looked at couple agreement on related attitudinal
and behavioral marital issues. We found more violence
in the military sample, greater couple agreement that
they were violent, wives• reporting less husband abuse
than husbands reported, and both spouses reporting
greater wife abuse than Szinovacz found. However, we
also found a high percentage of spouses who reported
violence when the other spouse did not report the same,
as did Szinovacz.
\.le found significant correlation coefficients for
sex-role attitudes, adaptability, cohesion, and marital
satisfaction for violent couples, indicating more
agreement on these issues than on violence in the
marriage.
Non-violent couples also had significant
agreement; however, their means and SDs were higher,
indicating violent couples had more traditional sexrole attitudes, less cohesion and adaptability and
lower marital satisfaction scores.
Couple data revealed a higher rate of violence than
would have been seen if only one spouse had reported.

Consumers of marriage preparation programs
have typically indicated high rates of satisfaction with
such programs. However, evaluations in the past have
not examined program components individually, nor
have they determined the extent to which couple or
program characteristics are associated with satisfaction
levels. The present study surveyed 196 couples who
had completed an inter-church marriage preparation
program. Results indicate that although satisfaction
was generally high, it varied by component of the
program, age of participants and timing of delivery.
Results suggest that younger couples benefit more from
concrete information about finances and parenting,
while older couples benefit more from communications
trmmng. Participation in the program less than two
months prior to the wedding yielded less benefit to
couples. These results are discussed in terms of
program implications.

RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM AND THE
WORK/FAMILY INTERFACE: THE CASE OF
MARRIED WOMEN. Gary L. Hansen, Dept. of
Soc., 500 Garrigus Bldg., U. of K Y, Lexington,
KY 40546-0215.
This study examines whether fundamentalism is
associated with a variety of work variables,
whether the same variables are associated with
working for pay among women who differ on
fundamentalism, and whether level of
fundamentalism affects the relationship between
work and both well-being and marital variables.
Data were obtained from 3,681 married, female
respondents included in the National Survey of
Families and Households. Respondents were
divided
into high, medium, and
low
fundamentalism groups. Results indicate that
fundamentalism is associated with a variety of
work variables, that a different configuration of
variables predict working for pay among low
fundamentalist women than others, and that
fundamentalism affects the relationships between
some work and well- being/marital variables. These
results suggest that fundamentalism alters the
nature of the work/family interface in ways family
professionals must consider.
The purpose was to assess family and ~-mrk
satisfaction of employed mothers. A survey was distributed at 20 child care
facilities for a sample of 331 mothers.
Questions addressed satisfaction with
emotional support from friends (mean=3.93),
children (3.74), relatives (3.70), spouse
(3.69) and church (3.52). Respondents
rated no support variables as having positive effect on work. Support from church
(mean=3.37) differed significantly by adequacy of income. One-third of respondents
perceived no emotional support from
church. Compared to support from other
groups, satisfaction with church support
was rated lowest. The church can address
the sense of isolation by offering opportunities to strengthen friendships and
families, We must identify ways to meet
both spiritual and social needs. Additional implications relate to the difference in support by income adequacy.

THE WORK OF THE FAMILY:
PERSPECTIVES FROM RELIGIOUS
PUBLICATIONS. Jo Lynn Cunningham, Dept.
of Child and Family Studies, The Univ. of
Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996-1900.
One way in which religion influences
families is through publications presenting a
"Christian perspective on the family." Such
publications often are from a structure-functional
perspective and are based on a traditional model
of the family. The family's task typically is
presented as the same as--or a means to attain-the task of the church. A traditional and
hierarchical family structure then is presented.
Responsibilities of individuals are described to
support accomplishment of the family's work.
Among the issues for consideration are those
concerning the relationship between perspectives
in these publications and those of family studies
professionals, the responsibility of both family
life educators and professionals in religious
institutions to be familiar with this relationship,
and effective ways to work with individuals
coming from this perspective.
WOMEN, WORK, AND RELIGIOSITY. Bruce A. Chadwick
and Dean Garrett, Center for Studies of the Family, Brigham
Young University, Provo, UT 84602.
We tested the relationship between working outside the
home and the religious beliefs and behaviors of women living
along the Wasatch Front in Utah. Time constraints, secular
values in the workplace and non-religious friendships were
studied as possible reasons why working may be related to
lower levels of religious beliefs and religious behaviors of
women in the labor force. In addition, we examined the impact
that the women perceive their working or not working has on
their relationship with husband and children. Eighty-five percent
of the sample were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints and most of the analysis focused on LOS
women. But there are sufficient women from other religious
denominations and irreligious women to make comparisons. A
random sample of 3,000 women between 20-60 years of age was
selected by the R.L. Polk Corp. Data were collected via mail
questionnaire during the spring of 1991. Three follow-up
mailings produced a response rate of 50%. Working was
measured as current employment and as a percent of adult life
a woman has worked. Religiosity included beliefs and private,
public, and family practices. Several measures of family
structure and process were also included. The results reveal that
work has a very modest relationship to religiosity and it appears
that the link that does exist is reciprocal. Less religious women
are more likely to enter the labor force than for religious women
to lose their faith or to become less active after they start
working.

DENOMINATIONAL PERCEPTIONS OF S1RESS AND

Michael L. Morris, Priscilla White Blanton, Lane Morris,
Dept. of Child & Fam. Stud., Univ. of TN, Knoxville, TN
37996.
The purpose of the present study was to examine
what various denominations perceive about stress in the
lives of their clergy families and also to determine the
types of supportive services being provided by
denominations. The sample of the study included 33
denominations each with more than 200,000 U.S.
members. The individual who was most knowledgeable
about support services from each of the denominations
was identified and sent a copy of the Denominational
Perceptions of Clergy Stress Inventory (DPSCI) and the
Denominational Support Services Checklist (DSSC). The
DPSCI is a 41 item Likert-type questionnaire assessing
perceptions of five domains of external stressors. The
DSSC is a checklist of 20 support services. Findings from
the study indicated that denominations were aware of the
demands created by stressors for clergy families,
particularly from the financial management and benefits,
personal stress, and family systems domains. In terms of
the support services being provided, denominations were
similar to the private business sector, in that a majority
were offering those services that are mandated by the
federal government.

Predictions that late adolescents'
perceptions of parental communication,

Maternal nurturance and communication
were negatively related to daughters' (D

and communication were positively related
to sons' (D = 85) religiosity. Paternal
nw:turance was negatively related to
sons 1 orthodoxy. Paternal communication

INTERGENERATIONAL RELIGIOUS VALUE CONSISTENCY:
MOTHERS AND ADOLESCENTS. Anderson. Sharon L.
and Palkovitz. Rob Dept. of Ind. & Fam. Studies,
U of DE, Newark, DE 19716.
Based on previous research on intergenerational
religious value transmission, it is difficult to
describe and explain the similiarity between parentchild value systems and to determine the degree of
parent-child value transmission.
This study examined the relationships between
mothers' and adolescents' religious values and
behaviors. Forty-five mother-child dyads, from two
private, accredited religious high schools representing 11 religious denominations, independently completed an lntergenerational Religious Value Survey
and a Religious Behavior Survey. Pearson productmoment correlations, matched pair comparisons, and
frequency distributions were used to analyze the data.
These data indicated a pattern of intercorrelations
between mother and child religious values and
behaviors with strongest correlations between
child values and behaviors and maternal and child
behaviors. Although one cannot make a definitive
statement of causality, there is a convincing implication that value transmission does occur as a result
of the child's modeling the values and behaviors of
the parent. The importance of parental modeling is
supported by these data.
Successful work with families requires that a
minister interact with individuals and families in a
manner characterized by understanding, empathy,
and caring. The study attempted to discover what
training in family concepts is available to
undergraduate clergy students.
Content analysis was conducted on the
undergraduate catalogues and selected course
syllabi of five liberal arts colleges that offered a
religion or pre-seminary degree. The adult section
of the Framework For Life-Span Family Life
Education was used as the instrument. Family life
concepts in the categories of human development
and ethics were covered most in the selected
course syllabi. Less attention was given to the
concepts relating more specifically to family life.
The variables in the category of education about
parenthood were not found in any of the syllabi.
The results of this research imply that a
minister's educational training in family-life issues
emphasizes the micro level of the developing
individual and the macro level issues of society and
ethics.

This study examined family communication
patterns among early adolescents and their
parents specifically focusing upon age and
gender differences. A statewide sample of
230 parents and early adolescents completed
the Parent-Adolescent Communication scale
consisting of subscales measuring openness
and problems. A multiple analysis of variance
repeated measure design was utilized with
age and gender of child as the independent
variables. The early adolescents rated their
mothers significantly higher than their fathers
on both openness and problems. Girls rated
their fathers more problem-free than did boys.
Older boys viewed communication with their
fathers as more problematic than did younger
boys. Fathers rated 13-year-old girls
significantly lower on openness than did any

Gender differences in adolescent attachment,
perceptions of parental attachment-promoting
behaviors, and predictors of adolescent attachment in
intact and stepfamilies were examined. 433 adolescents
enrolled in basic studies courses in a Southeastern
university completed questionnaires including
demographic information, Parent Attachment Scale
(PAS), and adaptation of Hazan and Shaver's
Attachment Style Measure. The sample included 75
stepfamily subjects and 306 intact family subjects. The
data were analyzed using Chi-square, t-test, and Logistic
Regression procedures. Significant differences in
percentages for secure attachment and perceptions of
parental attachment-promoting behavior were found by
gender and family structure. Predictors of secure
attachment differed by gender and family structure as
well. Results support the idea that differential
parenting facilitates attachment for male and female
adolescents in intact and stepfamilies.

This study examined the multidimensional
influences of family upon early to middle adolescent
career development. The research focused on the
importance of family influences on the formation of
adolescent career interests, as well as adolescent
perspectives of the family's role in their career
development. Data was collected in a panel study of
Michigan families (n = 83) using in-home interviews.
Stepwise multiple regression was used to test
models of development. What this study found was
that, regardless of family type, early to middle
adolescence is a period when career choices
become more sex-role stereotyped, and male and
female career development during this period are
two separate and different processes. Males were
socialized towards occupations that require high
l~vels of responsibility and skills and span a variety of
flel.ds, such occupations tend to be prestigious, wellpaid, male-dominated professions. Females tended
toward lower paying service occupations. The
findings of this study suggest that a theoretical
perspective that focuses primarily on female career
development merits further research.

The relationship between family employment status
and attitudes toward gender roles in the family is
examined for 295 married college graduates. Tested is the
hypothesis that individuals in dual earner families will be
more supportive of nontraditional family gender roles
compared to those in single earner families. Attitudinal
differences between women and men are also examined,
as well as the effects of selected demographic factors and
family background variables on gender roles in the family
are assessed using a nine item scale. Multiple regression
is used to analyze the data. The results indicate that
individuals in dual earner families, women, and people
with employed mothers express greater support for
nontraditional gender roles, while parents are less
supportive. The findings suggest an important link
between work experiences, lifestyle choices, and gender
role attitudes.

status also contributing. Weakness of

The goal of this study was to
identify personal and family
characteristics that determine
employment status among the elderly in
the state of Maine. A randomly
selected sample of 2001 adults over the
age of 60 was collected by telephone
interview in 1989 for a state agency
providing services to the elderly.
20.2% were still employed, while 9.4%
were seeking employment but unable to
find it.
Chi-square analysis was
conducted to determine the relationship
between gender, marital status, age,
education, and income above 100% of
poverty and nine questions related to
employment or the seeking of
employment. Results indicated that
younger, married males whose income was
above 100% of poverty tended to be in
the work force.
Regression analysis
was performed which suggested that age,
health limitations, and gender were the
determinants of employment status.
Family characteristics appear to have
little relationship to employment
status of elders. Policy implications
will be discussed.
EMPLOYMENT AND PARENTAL STATUS, AND
WOMEN'S GLOBAL AND SPECIFIC SEX-ROLE
ATTITUDES. Bullers, Susan. Soc.Dept.,
SUNY at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY. 14260.
This study explores the relationships between women's sex-role attitudes and their employment/parental
statuses.
It is hypothesized that
experiences in specific employment and
parental statuses will predict the
corresponding, specific sex-role attitudes more strongly than those experiences will predict broad, "global" sex
role attitudes. These hypotheses are
tested on a sample of 437 married
female respondents from the 1985 General Social Survey. Each of three sexrole attitude items (one employmentrelated item, one employment/parental
related item, and one global item) are
regressed on parental and employment
status, controlling for age. As predicted, employment and parental statuses are not significant predictors
of the global sex-role attitude responses. However, employment status is
a significant predictor of the employment-specific sex-role attitude, and
employment and parental statuses are
both significant predictors of the
employment/parental sex-role attitude.

WEll-BEING
IN
ADULTHOOD. Roberts, Robert E. L.. Departments of
Socioloav and Gerontology, University of Southern
CAlifornia. Los Angeles, CA. 90089-0191.
This research examines stability and change in the relative
contributions of work experiences and relationships with
parents to an adult child's psychological well-being over the
life course. Role-identity theory is used to specify the
mechanisms through which both work and family influence
well-being and how their influence may change over the
child's lifetime. The central hypothesis drawn from the
theory is that the contribution of parent-child affectual
closeness to a child's psychological well-being will diminish
relative to the influence of work experiences over the
child's adult life. The data are from two sets of parents and
children who participated in the 1971 and 1985 waves of
the University of Southern California Longitudinal Study of
Generations.
The first group consists of 138 elder
parent/middle age child pairs (G 1 /G2a: mean ages in 1971
were 65 and 44, respectively). The second group contains
345 middle age parent/young adult child pairs (G2b/G3:
mean 1971 ages were 44 and 19, respectively).
Hierarchical regression analysis is used to estimate the
relative contributions of child's work satisfaction and
affectual closeness with parents to the child's ratings of
positive mood, negative affect, avowed happiness, and
depression. The results support the general hypothesis:
work satisfaction became a more important predictor of
child's psychological well-being than parent-child closeness
with increasing age. The results suggest that role-identity
salience may mediate the influence of work and family
contexts on psychological well-being over the life course.

a) on each spouse's marital happiness,
and b) on the discrepancies between
spouses' perceptions of marital happiness.
Preliminary data analyses based on a subsample of the National Survey of Families
and Households (N=709) show the following
trends: retired husbands with recently
retired wives report relatively low marital happiness; marital happiness is relatively high for wives in a husband retired
-wife housewife arrangement; employed
husbands with long-term retired wives tend
to report significantly lower marital
happiness than their wives when compared
to husbands in other employment/retirement
groups; couples with retired husbands and
housewives are most likely to have
similar perceptions of marital happiness.

This symposium focuses on the effects of HIV
infection and AIDS on families.
Today, family is
broadly defined:
family of origin, foster or
adoptive family, circle of friends, living partner,
or caregiver.
Although there has been systematic
study of family relationships and chronic illness,
little research has directly addressed family issues
related
to
AIDS
(e.g.,
Macklin,
1989).
This
symposium consists of four papers that report on
research addressing the impact of AIDS on various
types of families:
(a) families of origin in which
an adult child has AIDS,
(b) families of children
who acquired HIV infection during the perinatal
period, (c) natural and foster families of children
with AIDS, and (d) family and friend caregivers of
adults with AIDS.
Applying previous family theory
and research to the problem of HIV/AIDS and deriving
new theoretical and research knowledge will greatly
enhance the development of targeted assessments and
interventions.

Much of our emphasis on women, family, and
work issues in recent years has centered around
younger families in which both parents or a single
parent attempt to juggle family and work. This
symposium focuses on the interplay of family and work
issues for women in midlife (45-early 60). As working
families age, and as more and more women at every
age move into the work force, the impact of work
issues on midlife women and the impact of the needs
of midlife women on work organizations will draw
increasing attention from family professionals. In
midlife, as in young adulthood, they must create their
own personal solutions for ways to balance new work
challenges, perhaps even peak performance years, with
the hot flashes of menopause, early retirement of
spouses, and caretaking of aging parents. Women in
midlife find they are reaping the costs and benefits of
earlier decisions about whether to interrupt their careers
to rear young children--and sometimes these costs are
different than they had anticipated. The interactions
between work and family take different forms for
midlife women and younger women, but the impact on
families and individuals are no less important in later
years and some issues remain strikingly constant.
This symposium, MIDLIFE WOMEN: WORK
AND FAMILY, brings together a groups of researchers
and educators to focus discussion and raise questions
about this fascinating and increasingly central set of
family and feminist issues.

Service in the armed forces involves more than just an
occupational choice; it is the selection of a lifestyle that
permeates almost every aspect of a person's life. Paralleling
and supporting an upsurge in policy and program initiatives
in support of military families over the last ten years, there
has been a proliferation of research on the interface between
work and family demands in the U.S. Military, and the
influence of this interface on the level of adaptation that
service members and their families make to the military
lifestyle. The "Double ABC-X" model of family stress and
adaptation and its various iterations have served as dominant
paradigms in framing many of these investigations.
This symposium first reviews the findings from two
empirical investigations that have used the Double ABC-X
framework as their organizing perspective for
conceptualizing and understanding the family adaptation
process. It then establishes a need for an alternative to the
Double ABC-X model for addressing the long-term effects of
military service on individuals and families. Life-course
theory is offered as a framework for meeting this need.
Several specific, current, policy-relevant research questions
that can be addressed best by a life course perspective are
presented.

This symposium reports the findings of 5 studies exploring the
association between various work/employment patterns, gender,
and family functioning. Although using different populations, all
used a common model of work, stress and family functioning.
These data suggest powerful influences of "appropriate" societal
gender roles on family behavior. The Oregon researchers report
that pride in one's work contributes positively to individual and
marital well-being, while the perception that one's work makes
uncontrollable time demands and that one's work preoccupies one's
free time is negatively associated with well-being for both men and
women. The Utah researchers found that gender inequities in
household labor and childcare remain after controlling for wife's
relative contribution to family income, husband's time availability
and gender ideology, suggesting that a patriarchal structural base
influences gender power relations. In New Mexico, hypothesized
differences in family roles and expectations between Hispanics and
Anglos were not supported. However, there were significant gender
differences, regardless of ethnicity, in gender role expectations and
perceived family rules. In the Montana study of two-generation farm
families, daughters-in-law reported the highest stress levels. Their
stress levels were correlated with their lack of inclusion in family
business decision making as well as with variables which were
correlated with stress for their husbands. The Washington
researchers found that, while community events, family environment
and individual coping style were related to stress, each of these
variables operate differently when life stage and gender were
controlled.
Presentation of instructional videotape and
discussion.
This workshop will be a presentation of a new
instructional video produced by Newhouse
Communications, Syracuse, NY. The video contains
eight marriage and family therapy scenarios. Each
scenario depicts ethical dilemmas frequently
encountered by marriage and family therapists.
Scenarios are set up to illustrate two or more ethical
codes as outlined in the AAMFT Code of Ethics. The
presenters will show some of the different scenarios,
and lead a discussion based on the material in each
scenario. Ethical codes illustrated within the video will
be discussed, and an example of how to lead a
classroom discussion about the scenarios will be
presented. The presenters' research has shown that for
one class of therapists, a video medium used to
introduce ethical dilemmas has been more effective and
enjoyable than a written medium. The video medium
combines auditory and visual stimuli which may
enhance learning, and retention of the concepts
presented. Several therapists suggested that the video
format allows for a more true-to-life representation of
ethical dilemmas than the written format.
The
videotape stimulated critical thinking and was effective
in promoting classroom discussion. This video has also
been helpful in testing procedures.

followed by a demonstration of a classroom application
of the instrument. Use of the PREP-M as a premarital
counseling tool greatly facilitates the identification of the
tasks of early marriage. It is also an excellent tool to
illustrate the need for education for marriage when used
in adult group settings such as church retreats or
continuing education programs. Therapist can use the
PREP-M to engage the couples in a discussion of
sensitive and critical issues like family physical or sexual
abuse, courtship abuse, substance abuse, and parental
divorce. The presentation will also include an overview
of the existing research on PREP-M; including the ability
of PREP-M to predict marital satisfaction and stability,
research on premaritally violent couples, and the
relevance of perceived differences on relationship
coupling. In addition theory building efforts, exciting
future possibilities for research with PREP-M will be
explored.

In New York State, as in the rest of the
country, the workforce is increasingly composed of
working parents. Women with children under the
age of three have been among the fastest-growing
segments of New York's workforce. Over 300,000
older persons in New York State depend on the care
of family and friends, most of whom are also
employed outside the home.
In order to respond to these changes, New
York business, labor and government are cooperating
in pioneering ways to create a more productive
workforce that also enables employees to manage
their dual responsibilities at the workplace and at
home. This Symposium will provide an overview of
the different types of initiatives and programs that
are available in New York State. It will also address
the role of research in addressing the link between
the workplace and family and the methods by which
this research is made accessible to employers and
employees.
This session will be conducted as a teachingpractice workshop.
The focus will be on the
intersection of race, class, and gender in family studies.

In its resolution 44/82 the U.N.
proclaimed 1994 as the International
Year of the Family (IYF). As a part of
the preparation, the 1994 International
Year of the Family Secretariat and the
U.N. University for Peace in Costa Rica
cooperated to sponsor a Seminar/
Conference in January of 1992 to focus
on IYF recommendations, especially
considering the need for family life
education for peace. This seminar will
be a report of the recommendations that
were developed by the 30 invited
participants in the seminar, and will
provide an update of NCFR's plans to
celebrate IYF.
Studies of the antecedents of children's social skills and
peer acceptance have focused on family interactions as
antecedent socialization factors contributing to the ontogeny
of these skills and competencies. However, most studies in
the developmental literature ignore important family and
social network variables that may not be reflected directly in
parent-child interactions. In this symposium, four separate
studies are presented. In these studies, properties of the
mother's belief systems and recollected history of acceptance
by peers, the influences of the marital relationship and family
environment and properties of the child's wider social
network are probed as contributors to the child's social skills
and peer acceptance in preschool-age children's groups.
Bivariate analyses and multivariate models derived from these
data sets indicate that family environment, social networks,
and parents' histories all contribute to the prediction of peer
acceptance and social competence. Especially interesting is a
comparison of the social network studies from city and rural
settings. Quantitative differences in social network
characteristics were revealed and different aspects of the
social networks were associated with peer acceptance in the
two studies. For children residing in the city, perceived
support and commitment from nonfamily network members
was most predictive of peer acceptan;:e, whereas for the rural
children, the degree of mother's knowledge of the child's
friendship network was most predictive of peer acceptance.
Each of these studies demonstrates the usefulness and
importance of considering structural and relationship
variables in attempting to explain individual differences in
the quality of social behavior and peer acceptance for young
children.

PREDICTING FATIIERING STILES:
TRADITIONAL VS. "NEW' FATHERS.
Michael R. Penland & Carol A. Darling.
Dept of Family, Child, & Consumer Sciences.
FSU, Tallahassee, FL. 32306
The theory of reasoned action was utilized
to examine the choice between traditional
versus the "new" more involved fathering styles.
This choice was predicted from two factors: the
person's attitude toward performing the
behaviors (attitude component) and the
person's perception of the interpersonal
environment which influences him to perform
parenting behaviors (subjective norm
component). A survey research design was
employed which utilized a random sample of
190 college males who one day intended to be
fathers. A two-stage procedure proposed by the
theory developers was used to construct the
research instrument. Results indicated that
whereas 57% of the respondents perceived their
father :figures to be involved fathers, 93% of the
respondents intended to be a "new" involved
father. A path analytic model examining the
choice intention of fathering styles explained
65% of the variance. Emphasis is given to the
need for exploring options in parenting roles
including different levels of participation in
child-rearing which takes into consideration
the beliefs and attitudes of both partners.
EVIDENCE FOR CHANGING ATTITUDES ABOUT
GENDER ROLES: AN ANALYSIS OF DATA
ACQUIRED SINCE 1968. Laurence b· Falk,
Dept. of Sociology, Concordia Col.,
Moorhead, MN 56562.
Attitudes toward family gender roles
are examined using data collected in
family courses since 1968. Hypotheses
are tested that attitudes toward wifehusband gender roles are changing
providing greater latitude toward wives,
and that women are more accepting of
gender role change than are men. Single
men (n = 775) and women (n = 1762) are
grouped into two-year intervals. Factor
analysis is used to produce gender role
assessment scales, and gender
differences are assessed using a t-test
for separate groups. Gender differences
in attitudes toward love are also
examined. Findings suggest that
attitudes are changing, and men and
women continue to differ in these
attitudes. Uses of these data as part of
the instructional process are also
discussed.

ADOLESCENT PERCEPTIONS OF WORK AND
FAMILY: A FUTURE LIFE PERSPECTIVE. Sue Couch,
Ginny Felstehausen, and Marilyn Wragg, Col. of Home
Econ., TX Tech Univ., Lubbock, TX 79409.
The purposes of the study were to examine the
expectations of secondary students regarding work and
family life in the future and to identify the factors which
influence these expectations. Survey data were collected
from 305 secondary students using adapted versions of the
Interpersonal Future Likelihood Inventory (IFLI) and the
Work Future Likelihood Inventory (WFLI). In addition,
personal interviews were conducted with 24 students.
Students believed it was likely that they would be married
only once, be a parent, have education beyond high
school, work full time, and earn more money than their
parents did. They thought it unlikely that they would be
divorced, be a single parent, or be married to a nonworking spouse. The results suggest that the students had
rather traditional and perhaps unrealistic expectations for
family life. Expectations for their future work lives were
more consistent with current trends. Parents and other
family role models were identified as having the most
influence on students' expectations for the future. Family
life educators and others can use the findings of the study
to help young people prepare for both the expected and
the unexpected in their future lives. Research was
supported by the Texas Education Agency, Austin, TX.
PARENT-CHILD AGREEMENT IN EDUCATIONAL
AND CAREER ASPIRATIONS IN AN APPALACHIAN
COUNTY. Patricia Dyk, Univ. of KY, Lexington, KY
40546-0215.
A perceived barrier to rural youth achieving
educational and career goals is the reluctance of parents to
encourage children to attend college fearing they may not
return afterwards due to the lure of bigger cities and better
jobs. 120 4th-8th grade students and their parents in a
rural Appalachian county completed surveys assessing
educational and career expectations. 89% of the youth
expect to go to college (current rate is 25%) and have
professional-level careers (workforce is 74% blue collar).
There was a high parent-child agreement regarding
educational and career aspirations and importance for child
to remain in county. Parents expectations do not appear
to be a barrier to the majority of youth. 64% of parents
report it is not important that their child stay in the county
and the majority of youth do not intend to live in the
county as adults. Those with higher aspirations are highly
represented in this group reflecting the brain drain in
many rural communities.

PREGNANCY LOSS AND GRIEF. Young,
Kathryn Scott, Depart. of Child &
Fam. Dev., UGA, Athens, GA 30602.
In comparing the literature on
natural and elective pregnancy
loss,
the
similarities
in
outcomes seemed to cluster around
grief-related
variables.
Univariate analysis (N=101) of
three
groups
(abortion,
miscarriage, control) revealed no
differences.
However,
multivariate analysis revealed
that guilt/self-blame, anger and
depression contributed to the
differentiation of the two loss
groups. While there is agreement
among researchers that women may
be expected to grieve after a
miscarriage, no such agreement
exists regarding abortion. It is
suggested
that
the
lack
of
comparison
groups,
lack
of
theory, and the use of univariate
statistics contribute to the lack
of progress in understanding the
pregnancy loss experience.

A CRITIQUE OF CODEPENDENCE AS A
MOVEMENT AND CLINICAL TOOL. Gordon Munro,
Couns. Supv., AB Alcohol & Drug Abuse Comm.,
Downtown Treatment Ctr., Edmonton, AB, Canada.
The field of codependence is not science. Emerging
from the conceptual model of viewing alcoholism as a
disease, the area is fraught with conceptual ambiguity, a
lack of theoretical testing or research and unreasonable
emotionalism by its' "converts." The purpose of this
investigation is to provide a summary of the writings in
the field to clarify and provide some direction to the
potential future of the movement.

GENDER DIFFERENCES WHEN RETURNING TO WORK
AFTER BEREAVEMENT LEAVE. Karen Martin, Dept. of
Soc., Univ. of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada T6G 2H4.
While completing a grounded theory study of grief over
time in parents who had lost babies to SIDS, the differing workrelated experiences of 7 mothers and 9 fathers became evident.
Interviews were taped, transcribed, coded, and then analyzed,
using the constant comparison method. The parents' experiences
are described in this presentation.
All of the men were employed prior to and after the death
of their baby. Those whose jobs provided the major source of
family income returned to work full-time within days or at most
a month because of "economic necessity." Keeping busy at work
helped them block out their grief and restore their sense of
competence and order. Often, their ability to maintain control of
their emotions was praised or covertly encouraged by supervisors
and co-workers. While their work experiences helped them learn
to manage their grief, in some cases, it contributed to problems
in sharing their grief with their spouse. Some men chose to
reduce their commitments to work, realizing that family life was
now more important to them. Bereaved working mothers also
felt a new commitment to family life which made them feel
guilty for working. If they returned to work within a month of
the death, the women were unable to set aside their grief. Trying
to control their feelings so they could perform as employees
added to the intensity of their grief, leading to outbursts of anger
or tears. This significantly affected their ability to function as
employees, causing some women to be fired, quit or reduce their
hours. This study highlights the need for management awareness
and flexibility when helping bereaved employees return to work.

INTERNALIZED SHAME AS A LONG-TERM
EFFECT OF CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE IN
WOMEN. Wilkin, Corinne, and Harper,
James, Brigham Young Univ., Provo, UT
84602.
Childhood
sexual
abuse
is
an
increasing
problem
in
the
United
States. Research has substantiated the
belief that childhood sexual abuse is
tramatic for the majority of adult
women who were abused. The purpose of
this study was to better understand
some of the long-term effects of
childhood sexual abuse on adult women
survivors,
specifically:
the
relationship between childhood sexual
abuse by a father or step-father,
someone other than the father or stepfather, severity of the sexual abuse,
and internalized shame. One-hundred and
seventeen women who were
sexually
abused as children were involved in the
study. Subjects were compared using a
severity of abuse rating scale and the
Internalized Shame Scale. The results
of an ANOVA indicated that women who
were sexually abused as children scored
significantly
higher
on
the
Internalized Shame Scale ( 49.27) than
those women who were not sexually
abused as children (32.29).
THE GENDER-ROLE TENDENCIES SCALE:
AN INTEGRATION OF BOWENIAN AND
FEMINIST IDEAS. Vaughn A. Heath. Kathryn
Sargent, Dept. of Fam. Sciences, Brigham Young
University, Provo, UT84602.
Although Bowenian theory has been useful in
identifying and describing unhealthy interactional
patterns that occur in the Family system,
weaknesses exist with respect to how the theory
normalizes typical masculine-role behavior and
pathologizes feminine sex-role behavior. A
modification to the Bowenian model is presented
where tendencies toward emotional
interdependency and nurturance are valued
equally with autonomous and independent
tendencies. "The Gender-Role Tendencies Scale"
moves away from the Bowenian linear model of
health and recognizes that although the degree
that relationships are emotionally inter-dependent
and independent has a wide range of diversity,
only extreme sex-role behaviors are dysfunctional
in the couple system.

HISTORICAL SHIFTS IN WOMEN'S
LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION:
SOME GLOBAL PATTERNS. Edward
L. Kain, Department of Sociology,
Southwestern University,
Georgetown, TX 78626 USA
Over the past century, women's
labor force exper lence in the U.S.
has shifted in patterned ways.
In 1890 married women were ten
times less likely to work outside
of the home than never-married
women. Each decade these
differences declined slightly so
that by 1990 there is only a
small difference between the two
groups.
This paper examines these same
shifts on a global scale to see
if patterns in the U.S. are
mirrored elsewhere.
In Ireland,
for example, the same patterns
hold, but occur much later in
historical time. Theoretical
explanations are given for the
differences which are found.
IN CREATION OF A TYPOLOGICAL PROFILE OF

Susan L. Ericksen, Mariya Lowery, Laurel G. Agee,
Stefanie Todd, and Gordon Willey, Dept. of Family
& Human Development, Utah State University,
Logan, UT 84322-2905.
This presentation is based on a content
meta-analysis of 200 articles addressing the
phenomena of youthful sexual offending. Content,
as opposed to an empirical meta-analysis, was used
in that much of the extant literature is either
anecdotal or case study in nature. Anecdotal or
case study reports do not lend themselves to valid
they
empirical
analyses
since
individually
themselves do not meet this criteria. However,
content analysis of anecdotal and retrospective
case study data does lend itself to the statistical
identification of trends (frequently observed or
unobserved variables and relationships) associated
with the groups of interest. Therefore the potential
accuracy of inferences about the group may be
improved.
Results of the analyses clarify the
relationship between selected substantive variables
and youthful sexual offending, across and within
identified sexual offensive behaviors. Typologies,
relevant for strategic intervention development
(e.g., rape, incest, etc.) have been derived.
Validation of intervention strategies have been
created and reported.

THE EFFECTS OF EDUCATION AND CHILD

JAPANESE MEN'S WORK AND PARENTING:
A COMPARATIVE STUDY. Masako IshiiKuntz, Dept. of Sociology, University
of California, Riverside, CA 92521
In many modern Japanese families,
fathers are frequently absent from home
due to work demands while mothers assume
the major responsibility of caring for
and educating their children. Using
three-nation survey data on fathers and
children, this study examines the impacts
of fathers'work demands on their parenting
roles. It was found that American and
German fathers spend more time with their
children than their Japanese counterparts.
Japanese children, however, are more
likely to feel responsible for fathers'
well-being and to see their fathers as
the center of the family. Japanese
children also rate their fathers more
positively than fathers themselves.
This study concludes that despite limited
father-child interaction, Japanese fathers
are psychologically present in the home.
The differences and similarities of the
paternal roles and father-child
relationships are compared across the
three <:ountries.
The value of childrens' labor is
one variable that is generally agreed
to be a factor in the demand for
children and high fertility in
developing countries. The effects of
schooling and the economic value of
children (measured by their labor
force activity) on fertility decline
is investigated in this cross-national
study. Female labor force
participation and the country's level
of economic development, variables
important to fertility decline, are
included as control variables. A
discriminant analysis is employed to
determine which variable is most
important to declines in fertility.
Analyses show that both childrens'
education and child labor contribute
to fertility decline. Comparisons
between developed and less developed
countries are presented and as well as
implications of childhood education in
developing countries.

A LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF "HIS" AND
"HERS" MARRIAGES IN OLD AGE.
Field, Dorothy & Weishaus, Sylvia.
Gerontology Center, 100 Candler Hall, University
of Georgia, Athens, GA, 30602.
The study examines the course of marital satisfaction among 17 couples whose marriages have
been monitored from time to time during much
of the 50 to 69 years that they have continued.
Couples were aged 73 to 93 at the last follow-up
in 1983. Even in old age, husbands and wives view
their marriages differently. Men take the more
favorable view, reporting higher adjustment, fewer
disagreements, less financial strain, and more optimistic recollections of past marital satisfactions.
Marital satisfaction is not affected by number of
children, but those high in satisfaction are likely
to have more contact with children. Personality
and attitude are more significant in the success of
maniages than socioeconomic factors or availability
of children. Health affects marital quality only
in Lhat illness in one partner is constructive to the
relationship, increasing the bond between panners.

PARTNERS' AGREEMENT ON SUBJECTIVE
CAUSES OF COMMITMENT: A QUALITATIVE
ANALYSIS. Catherine A. Surra, Michelle L.
Batchelder, & Debra K. Hughes, Dept. of Human
Ecology, U of Texas-Austin, Austin, TX 78712.
This study investigates the nature and amount of
agreement between partners' subjective accounts of
commitment in premarital relationships. Forty newlywed
spouses graphed from memory how commitment changed
during courtship and explained why each upturn or
downturn occurred. Qualitative analysis of the accounts
revealed 4 themes representing different degrees of
agreement. Matched Events are complete agreement;
partners use the same or synonymous words in their
accounts. Correspondent Accounts of the Same Events
are those in which partners have the same reasons, but
the explanations differ with respect to whether they
describe the couple or the individual. Related Events
demonstrate an intermediate level of agreement; partners
refer to the same topic but use different details, depths,
and valences.
Unmatched Events show complete
disagreement in that only one partner mentioned the
cause of commitment. The results indicate considerable
variability between couples in partners' reasons for
becoming committed and different forms of agreement
within couples.
PRE- AND POST-DIVORCE DIALOGUES
BETWEEN EX-SPOUSES: EVIDENCE OF
RELATIONSHIP DIALECTICS. Masheter,
Carol, U. of Utah, Salt Lake City,
UT 84112.
Baxter and others have used dialectic theory to examine the dynamics
of relationships among college students. This study extends Baxter's
theory, using episode analysis of
each S's recounted conversations
before and after each S's divorce
spouses. Findings suggest that some
divorced couples change their strategies for coping with dialectic pairs
of opposites, e.g., from topic and/
or partner segmentation to reframing
the opennessjclosedness and autonomy/
connectedness dialectical pairs.
Implications include the importance
each S's own interpretation of his/
her recounted conversation and dialectic theory's ability to accommodate complex changes in complex relationships, e.g., those in which the
marriage has legally terminated but
the partners continue to interact.

THE TIME HUSBANDS AND WIVES SPEND
TOGETHER: A SHADOWY QUANTITY Reed Larson.
Div. of Hum. Dev. and Fam. Studies, Univ. of lllinois,
Urbana, IL 61801.
This paper shows that joint marital time is a more
ambiguous entity that is commonly assumed and that this
ambiguity has implications for marital quality. A sample of
55 couples carried electronic pagers for one week and
provided reports on their companionship, activity and affect
for an average of 45 random times when signalled by the
pagers. Though signalled at the same time, husbands and
wives often did not agree on when they were "with" each
other. Frequently one partner reported being together while
the other partner indicated being alone.
The marital
significance of this ambiguous togetherness is indicated by the
finding that wives reported lower affective states during this
time and its rate of occurrence was negatively correlated with
the warmth each felt towards the other. A further finding was
that, even when spouses did agree on being together, they
reported doing the same activity for only half the time.
Contrary to expectation, this proportion was not correlated
with marital warmth, nor was the amount of time spent in
leisure or conveuation together. Rather it was the quality of
the affect they reported during shared time that was correlated
with marital warmth. Findings are interpreted in terms of the
process whereby a couple forms and maintains a joint
construction of a marital reality.

Married personnel are pressured by two "greedy
institutions": the family and the job. Most research
focuses upon the impact of the job upon the family
(e.g., relocation, family separation, and scheduling
difficulties). Although employers are increasingly
sensitive to these family disruptions, they have been
disinclined to change organizational policies or make
substantial program investments in the absence of hard
data showing that improving the lot of families also
helps the employer.
This symposium will provide recent findings on
the impacts of families upon the job using data from a
five year, world-wide study in the U.S. Army and
studies from other public sector jobs. Specific areas to
be covered include: dual-income families, employee
retention, productivity, and the cost of providing
services. In addition to looking at families per se, we
will also examine how the presence and attitudes of
"significant others" influence retention plans and
productivity.

�SUMMARIES OF MAJOR CONFERENCE ADDRESSES
Plenary Address, Sunday, Nov. 17,9:00 am.
world had become increasingly divided into 2 spheres: the
private dominated by women, and the ever expanding and
important public sphere controlled by men. The consequences of such a division upon human beings and the
society as well as the problem of trying to maintain it in
real life have been detrimental to the development of the
society and its members. The contribution of women to
both spheres and to pulling them back together have not
been matched by the societal and community efforts to
create a whole world. Thus far women have carried the
burden of vicarious and repercussive adjustment to modernization and societal development. However, modernization with its emphasis on social rights equality and
autonomy have caught up with a large segment of America's female population. Women and men aware of the
dysfunctional effects of the restrictive nature of the split
have reached a point of rebellion demanding that societal
structures and institutions contribute to the building of a
balanced unified human life.
THE UNDERCLASS AS A METAPHOR OF SOCIAL
TRANSFORMATION. Michael B. Katz, Dir., Urban
Studies Prog., Univ. of PA, Philadelphia, PA 19104.
We have difficulty dealing effectively with poverty
because we employ outdated ideas and language to confront a situation fundamentally new in American history.
Contemporary discussions of inner-city problems refer more often to the 'underclass' than to the 'poor.' This
address asks why the term has gained such currency,
what concerns it implies, how it resonates with ways of
thinking about poverty throughout the last two centuries,
and what are the major research issues it implies.

POLITICS AND POVERTY IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICA Frances Fox Piven, Grad. Sch. & Univ. Ctr.,
CUNY, Box 380, 33 W. 42nd St., New York, NY 10036.
It is clear that the American social structure is
changing, in the sense that economic and cultural differences among classes and racial groups are widening. In
some ways, we are becoming less unified, less one community, than ever before.
In this talk, I will try to assess the relative role of
large scale changes in the national and international economy, and changes in a series of important public policies,
in producing these effects.
Presidential Address, Tuesday, Nov. 19, 4:30pm.
A LEGAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE ON
INDIVIDUALISM AND FAMILIES.
Lynda Henley
Walters, Dawson Hall, Univ. of GA, Athens, GA 30602,
1990-91 NCFR President.
In the early 1980s, scholars of the family interpreted observed changes in families not as the beginning
of the end of the family, but as evidence ofits adaptability
and continuity. More recently, evidence of change has
been interpreted as evidence of the demise of the family.
The threat to families is one from within: the growth of
individualism. It is a form of individualism believed by
some to be utilitarian in its focus on living the good life,
and expressive in its craving for sensual and intellectual
freedom without constraint or convention. Confirmation
of the growth of individualistic thinking can be found in
appellate court decisions dealing with parent-child relationships, and in decisions about the pursuit of individual
autonomy as reflected, for example, in the right to privacy.
A consideration of the impetus for increasing emphasis on
individuals along with a review of philosophical
underpinnings of beliefs about the family is warranted
because assumptions about the family guide the design of
research questions as well as family policy advocated.

gender and off-farm employment status.
In a seven state project examining
the impact of off-farm employment on
farm family functioning and economic
productivity 1,100 respondents completed mail questionnaires. Global
satisfaction was found to be a
weighted average of satisfaction with
eight items. The results supported
a goal-achievement model of wellbeing. in a stepwise regression
analysis, global satisfaction was
related to control over one's life by
satisfaction with family and financial matters. Relative contributions
to global satisfaction were a function of gender and employment status.
THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL TIES ON PERCEPTIONS

Numerous studies focus on the stress
experienced by unemployed or low income
Blacks.
However,
few
have
examined
specific
contributing
and
preventive
factors related to work-family tension
among the fully employed Black worker.
Using a sample of employed Black police
officers, the present study examines the
association between job strain and couple
relationships,
and the role of social
support as a moderator of work-family
tension.
Regression analysis indicated
that separation/divorce potential increased
with greater job strain.
Greater workfamily tension was associated with lower
colleague support and higher supervisor
support.
The
implications
of
these
findings and limitations of the study are
discussed.

CONTRIBUTION OF AFFECTIVE EXPERIENCE IN LIFE ROLES
TO SELF-ESTEEM AND DEPRESSION IN DUAL-CAREER
PARTNERS. Margie J. Geasler, Dept. of Fam.Studies,
Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24060.
It was hypothesized that self-esteem and
depression of dual-career partners are
differentially influenced by well-being and stress
in marital, professional and parental roles. Data
was collected from 113 dual-career couples; 76 had
children at home. Self-esteem was ~asured using
items from the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale.
Depression was the number of times in the past
month the respondent "felt depressed?" Items
indicating affective experience assessed wellbeing and stress in each role area: professional,
marital, parental. Possible responses included "I
feel" supported, understood, tense/anxious,
frustrated etc. Results indicate that affective
experience in marital and professional roles
influenced the wife's reports of self-esteem and
depression. Husband's self-esteem was influenced
by well-being in his professional role and his
depression was influenced by stresses in both his
marital and professional roles. These results
suggest that husbands have the same sources of
depression, but fewer sources of self-esteem than '
their working wives. Supported by the Women's

WORK/FAMILY
OVERlAP AND MARITAL
SATISFACTION OF PHYSICIANS AND THEIR
SPOUSES. Bird, David N. &
Zvonkovic, Anisa M., Oregon State
University, Corvallis, OR 97331.
The relation between work/family
overlap and marital satisfaction was
examined for physicians· and their
spouses. The sample was 708 physi,cians and their spouses. Measures
:included questions on the physician's
'work-related activities, marital
satisfaction, demographics, and a
scale constructed to tap work/family
overlap.
Regression analyses on work/family
overlap revealed that work satisfaction was related to physician's
marital satisfaction, and that work
satisfaction and work involvement
were related to the spouse's marital
satisfaction. Age was additionally
associated with marital satisfaction.
Discussion centered on the differ'ences and similarities between

DETERMINANTS OF THE INTENTION TO

Leanne K. Lamke. Joe F. Pittman, and Robin
Durbin, Auburn University, Family and Child
Development, Auburn, AL 36849.
This study examined factors that predict
willingness and intention to move among 154
employed women and 117 men who responded
to a. newspaper survey. Regression results
indicated that, for women, the combination of
economic, demographic, community, family, and
individual factors produced an R2 of .58 for 1
willingness to move and an R2 of .20 for actual i
intention to move.
For men, the R2 for:
willingness to move was .38 while the R2 for 1
actual intention to move was only .1 0. The·
primary predictors of willingness to move for
both men and women were willingness to move
for a better job and number of jobs held in the
last ten years. The best predictor of actual
intention to move was, for men, community
dissatisfaction and for women, looking for a new
job. These results indicate that job-related
factors play an important role in the migration
decision-making process, and that actual
intention to migrate appears to be unrelated to
factors that predict willingness to move.

STRUCTURAL CHANGE AND ADAPTIVE
POLICY FOR DISLOCATED WORKER-FAMILY
UNITS. Kenneth A. Root, Dept. of Soc., Luther
College, Decorah, IA 52101.
Economic restructuring has eliminated
thousands of jobs. While many dislocated workerfamily units have found new employment, often at
lower wages and with fewer benefits, others have
become discouraged workers and remained
unemployed. This means that many family units are
without health insurance, and a significant number of
these families are impoverished. What policies could
be implemented to facilitate the adjustment of workerfamily units to forced job loss? Utilizing four
empirical studies of workers who have lost their jobs
through no fault of their own, including: meatpacking
workers displaced when the Armour Foods chain was
sold; women terminated when "their" garment
.company closed several branch plants; Montana
railshop workers who were offered transfer to the
Midwest when the Livingston Rail Shops closed; and
Pennsylvania steel workers who were terminated
when USX shut down several facilities in 1982,
discussion of the impacts upon worker-family units
and the community provide the basis for policy
recommendations.

Questionnaires were obtained from 77
parents whose 5- to 12-year-old children
attended 10 profit-making day care centers
to determine how and why they made their
day care choice. Results indicated that the
majority of parents had used other child care
arrangements in the past and had been
dissatisfied with their choices.
Parents
typically visited or telephoned more than one
center before making a day care selection .
Over half of the parents first obtained
information from friends; few first sought
information from experts. Finally, parents
indicated that they selected their current
center for health and safety reasons, the
social, academic, and physical development
of their children, the center's hours of
operation, location, and cost.

40
providers were identified from a ran·
dom sample of mothers with young
children. Analysis of telephone interviews indicated significant differences from 298 housewives and 580
mothers employed outside the home.
Providers reported higher levels of
stress and lower education.
Their
husbands spent less time actively
caring for children and had longer
work hours. Providers had lower income and longer work hours.
Results
suggest that providers share the demands of housewives and employed
mothers but have lower income and

Gary L. Bowen, Peter A. Neenan, Sch. of Soc. Wk.,
Univ. of NC at Chapel Hill, 223 E. Franklin St.,
CB #3550, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3550.
The availability of new federal funds from
the Child Care and Dependent Block Grant Act of
1990 provides the resources necessary for states to
increase the supply of subsidized child care for the
working poor. Based on data from the largest
urban county in North Carolina, the article
examines through descriptive analysis the potential
economic implications of such expanded child care
assistance on a group of parents for whom this
support may be most effective as an employment
incentive and support; low income parents with
preschool children who have a definite offer of a
job, or who are already employed, and who are on
the waiting list for state subsidized child care
support. The results are generally supportive of
the importance and potential cost-effectiveness of
expanded subsidized child care assistance as an
employment incentive and support to this group of
parents. Yet, many of these parents require a
multi-faceted intervention plan ifthey are to
achieve long-term economic self-sufficiency.

Over the past 30 years, the American workforceh3s experienced a dramatic increase in dual-career and
dual-earner households, resulting in
a need for today's families to find
an optimal balance between 1mrk and
family life. In response to these
changing needs, traditionally organized workplaces are developing family
supportive policies. This symposium
revie1vs the literature relating to
1vorkplace responsiveness to employees.
We focus on the present & future sta~

supportive policies among manufacturing companies. A combination of factors such as the number of employees,
the composition of the worl-::force, the
unionization of the employeeg, & the
company's attitude toward family supportive policies 1vere examined in relation to the comprehensiveness of

from parents, and well-being would
be related to early maternal work
history, early nonrnaternal child
care, and perception of early
parental caregiving. Questionnaires
were completed by a nonrandom sample
of college age men (D = 236) and
women (D = 427). Oneway analysis of
variance indicated that subjects who
entered early nonrnaternal childcare
reported less secure attachment to
parents than those who did not.
Early maternal entrance into the
workforce was also associated with
less secure attachment. Coparenting
was associated with more secure

!Stepwise multiple regression revealed
lthat positive attitudes were associated with nontraditional gender role
attitudes, exposure to men taking

Despite suggestions that greater
responsiveness to employees' family
needs may improve job commitment and
productivity,
employers
resist
adopting family-sensitive personnel

working . women' s
preferences
for
family-related benefits and about

Results suggest that women would
be more satisfied with their work
experiences if the benefits were
available.
They also suggest that
flexible
work
schedules
and
counselling are preferred to child
care benefits and medical and life
insurance benefits are preferred to

Trzcinski, Eileen, Consumer
Economics and Housing, Cornell University,
Ithaca, NY 14853.
This paper examines how effectively different
societal institutions provide maternity and
parental leave. Its particular emphasis centers
on which groups of workers tend to be covered
and which tend to be excluded by private
business policies, union contracts, and
government mandate .. The analysis uses three
types of data: (1) the Panel Study of Income
Dynamics; (2) a survey of statewide family and
medical leave legislation; and (3) two surveys of
employers (The Survey of Leave Policies of
Connecticut Business and the U.S. Small Business
Employee Leave Survey). These surveys contain
detailed information on type of policies,
eligibility requirements, demographics and
occupational classifications of each firm's
workforce, and firm characteristics. Probit and
multinomial probits are used for the empirical
analysis. The findings indicate that private
business policies are the most restrictive, but that'
state and federal government statutes (proposed
and enacted) tend to exclude the same
employees that are also ineligible for private
policies.

Although family sexuality has been
a focus of study over recent decades,
much is still unknown about the sexual socialization process. This presentation examines the family's social construction of the meaning of
sexuality. In-depth interviews were
conducted with 12 families. Finding~
indicate that parents and children
attach different levels of meaning
to their conversations about sex,
with parents holding the conversations more salient. Findings also
indicate that parents delegate the
task of sex education to schools,
media, peers, and siblings; this
delegation is an active process.
Further findings involve reciprocality: parents socialize their children and vice-versa. The dimensions
of salience, delegation, and reciprocality are discussed, as are implications for future research.

ADOLESCENT MOTHERS & PARENTING
STRESS: COMPARISONS WITH NORMATIVE
AND LATER AGE MOTHERS. Nancy Barbour, Rhonda Richardson, Donald Bubenzer, College of Education, Kent
State University, Kent, OH 44242
Adolescent Mothers cope with the
transition to parenthood and routine
parenting issues, but also with their
own conflicting developmental concerns. Thus, parenting for this age
group may be particularly stressful.
This study examined parenting stress
among three age groups of primiparous mothers: Adolescent Mothers
(13-19 yrs, n=45; Normative Age Mothers (22-26 yrs, n=49; Later Age
Mothers (30-34 yrs, n=SO). The sub~
jects were recruited from public
birth records and, as part of a larger study, completed the Parenting
Stress Index (PSI). Analyses indicated that the Adolescent Mothers scored significantly higher than the
other groups on stress in the Child
Domain of the PSI. Since this domain deals with the parent's perceptions of child behavior and abilities, tpe role of Knowledge of Child
Development Inventory (KCDI) scores
was examined as a potential explanatory factor. Analyses of covariance
indicated that age effects remain
even when controlling for KCDI scores.

feelings about becoming pregnant, incidenc~
of abortion, relationship with the baby's
father, and the reaction of the baby's father
were significantly related to self-esteem.
A~opti<?n considerations and plans to have a

father of the baby and support. Confidence is related to previous experience, a less difficult baby and a
perception of less bother. Regression
analysis indicates that adjustment
is predicted by self-esteem and contact with the father, accounting for
31% of the variance. Implications
are that the role of the father is
important in making the adjustment.

A DESCRIPTION OF ADOLESCENT FATHERS
AND THEIR EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT.
Helen E. Petracchi, School of Social
Welfare, Univ. of WI-Milw.,
Milwaukee, WI 53201
This display presents the results
of a study of teenage fatherhood
utilizing erose-sectional data from
the National Longitudinal Survey of
Youth (NLSY). The sample distribution, interviewed annually since
1979, contains 6,398 young men, including 1600 blacks, 1000 hispanics,
950 low income whites, and 2850
other white males. This study breaks
new ground by applying a fixed effects version of the Statue Attainment Model to a sample of fathers.
The study addresses two questions:
(1) What is the impact of the age at
which a male first becomes a father
on the educational attainment
achievedby that male? (2) In a
sample of fathers, what is the
impact of expectations on educational attainment? Do these results
vary by the age at which the male
first becomes a father?

predictive model is suggested wherein level of
welfare program immersion at 24 month
follow-up is best predicted by level at intake
(accounting for 32.3% of the explained
variance), followed by father's level of
education (which accounted for 30.13% of the
explained variance.) Completion of or desire
to enroll in vocational education programs
and units of service received within the
project were the least predictive variables.
Together, the variables in the model produced
an R-SQUARE of .4076. There was
confirmation of parenthood during
adolescence being a doorway to persistent and
consistent involvement in welfare programs.

FERTILITY, DEPRESSION, AND
PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING IN
ADULTHOOD. Heath, D. Terri
Human Services, University of Oregon,
Eugene, OR, 97403.
Adolescent fathers who drop out of school
to enter the labor force jeopardize their
educations, subsequent occupations, and
their life-time earning potentials. This major
decision during their adolescence puts them at
economic risk and, if they have high fertility, the
added demands on these economic resources
may increase this risk. In this study, it was
hypothesized that men who fathered during
adolescence (n=227) would report greater
fertility, more depression, and lower levels of
psychological well-being than men who first
fathered during their 20s (n=1032).
Ordinary least squares regression was
used to analyze the data. Support was found
for Hypotheses I and II but not Ill. Men who
fathered during adolescence had significantly
greater rates of fertility and depression, but not
lower levels of psychological well-being, than
men who fathered as adults, when SES, race,
fertility, and age were controlled.

TEEN PARENTING: A POSITIVE AND INTERGENERATIONAL
APPROACH. Susan Sattler and Mary Dell1ann-Jenkins,
Fuily Studies, Kent State, Kent, OH, 44242.
We explored teen parents' (both mothers and
fathers) confidence in various parenting situations,
support systems, and areas of assistance which would
enhance their competence in handling the stresaors of
parenthood. Mothers of parenting teens were asked to
share their views regarding these issues. Although
the majority of teen parents reported feeling
confident in their parenting roles, dl were
receptive to fonal and infor1ul assistance,
including help with decision-making, obtaining
employaent, budgeting, and l!lore emotional support
from friends and family.
These findings vere
supported by the mothers of parenting teens, vitb the
majority reporting that they vere confident in their
cbild'o parenting abilities, but also reinforced that
further assistance would enhance their child's
confidence in being a parent.

This presentation will examine the
political and ideological foundations
of the two child care legislative
proposals (H.R.3 & S.S) which were
passed by Congress in 1989 & 1990.
The political process will be followed through the conference committee, White Bouse negotiations and final passage of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act which included the

The absence of a comprehensive
family policy in the u.s. has long
been a matter of debate & concern,
with significant implications for
helping professionals who seek to
strengthen family functioning. The
ongoing policy debate over child c~re
legislation epitomizes the ideological conflicts that have hindered the

AUSTRALIA AND SWEDEN.
Klaus A. Ziegert, Dept. of Jurisprudence, Sydney, NSW 2000. Australia.
This study addresses some of
the problems which confront interdisciplinary research in the area of
law and the family. In drawing on
the results both of research on
family coping, and of sociolegal
research, we integrated the findings
of the disparate research traditions
in using the theory of operatively
closed social systems and in applying
an ethnographic approach. 250
families in Australia and Sweden
were interviewed. The results
indicate the salience of a different
legal style which persists even if
family coping styles vary. It was
found that tendencies of families to
cope poorly and to refer to law in
normatively closed terms were much
less prevalent in Swedish than in
Australian families.

With P.L. 99-457 came a shift from
child- to family-focused intervention
with young handicapped children. In'
response, Project SEARCH developed a
model Individualized Family Service
Plan and conducted a state-wide
family needs assessment·. The survey
included responses from 51 (S2%) of ··
the state's providers and interviews
with 140 parents/caregivers from 120
families. Categories of needs included emotional support, information, treatment/intervention, support
systems, and advocacy. The needs
identified by families and service
providers were rela-tively consistent,
though with some differences. Satisfaction with services reflects areas
needing attention by professionals
working with meeting family needs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the
attitudes of :r.arents, both of disabled and non-disabled
preschool children, as they relate to varying degrees of
mainstreaming occurrinj1; in their child's class.
Demographic charactenstics of the families were also
analyzed in relation to attitudes. Subjects consisted of
sixty-one families from Salt Lake City, Utah. A selfreport questionnaire was devised based on a
combination of proven attitude measures. Data
analysis consisted of Pearson ·Product-Moment
Correlation for analyzing demographic variables, and
ANOVA for analyzing jpUUP differences related to 1)
exposure to mainstreammg and 2) disabled vs. nondisabled child. No si~ificant differences were found
in regard to the relatiOnship between income,
education level of parents, sex of parents, or
employment status. A positive relationship was found
between exposure to mainstreaming and attitude.
Results also showed that parents of non-disabled
children tended to have a more positive attitude
toward mainstream than parents of children with
disabilities. Item analysis provides data regarding
specific concerns or parents regarding mainstreaming,
which is important for persons working with families.

ESCAPING WELFARE: A LONGITUDINAL ANALYSIS OF THE EFFICACY OF
A SELF-RELIANCE PROGRAM. Annette
Link, North Dakota State University, Fargo,
ND 58105.
In this study, a structural procedure
designed to increase the self-reliance of
welfare recipients was tested. A convenience
sample of 78 was drawn from a larger
group of participants in the Self-Reliance
Program. These individuals became
participants because of complete data sets,
intake and follow-up. Participants
completed a detailed questionnaire at
intake, and completed a second
questionnaire after 6 months in the
program. At intake, 83.30% of the program
participants were enrolled in a welfare
entity, with an average of 2.72 programs per
enrollee (usually AFDC and MEDICAID).
At follow-up, 72.70% of the program
participants were enrolled in a welfare
entity, with an average of 2.41 programs per
enrollee. This reduction effect was tested
through the use of multivariate predictive
model, employing traditional demographic
variables as predictor variables. Results
were discussed in terms explaining the
change in welfare immersion as well as
explaining welfare immersion at follow-up.

The researchers were interested in determining the
types and costs of services delivered to severely
emotionally disturbed children in order to establish
guidelines for a newly established comprehensive
case management service. Twenty five severely
emotionally disturbed adolescents were selected
randomly from the case load of a local mental
health agency. Archival data were analyzed in
order to determine the status of the adolescents
with respect to contacts with specific components
of the local human services delivery system. Nine
hundred and five contacts were documented with
human services agencies representing the mental
health system, the child welfare system and the
juvenile justice system. C9sts and duration of
treatment services provided to this sample of
adolescents are supportive of the need for case

With rising health care costs putting a financial strain on families
in the U.S., new and alternative
methods are needed to help families
obtain the services they need at the
lowest cost. Employee assistance
programs are being formed to do just
that. The present study was designed to determine the cost-effectiveness of the EAP of a large western

Data were gathered from 400 families. Two hundred utilized the EAP
and 200 did not. These two groups
were compared in three areas: medical
and psych./substance abuse claims anQ
employee absenteeism.
Results indicate that EAP use saved
families and the corporation $1310.33

PERMANENCY PLANNING & ISRAELI FOSTER
PARENTS; HOW TO AVOID ROLE CONFLICT
AND AMBIGUITY-.- Int P-:--liera, School
of Soc1al Work, U. ofJHa1fa, Haifa,
31999, Israel.
This study examines whether the
realization of objectives of Permaency Planning (PP) exposes foster
parents (fostersO to role conflict &
role ambiguity (RCRA). The research
hypothesis is based on findings regarding remarried families & organiza~
tional stress, & wa.s tested with a
random sample of 59 Israeli foster
couples. RCRA, Foster Parent Roles,
& ~amily Boundary Ambiguity questionnalres were used. The results indicate that neither fosters nor foster
children maintained frequent contacts
with biological parents (BIOs) and
social workers (SWs). This indicates
that PP requirements are ignored. Of
the four RCRA factors examined, parallel relations with SWs & BIOs, relations with SWs, & attitudes regarding
the foster child's belonging were associated with low RCRA. Relations ·
with BIOs were associated with moderate RCRA. It is proposed that fosters
ignored PP aims in order to avoid RCRA.
Specific training methods, designed to
enhance effective implementation of PP
aims by ·fosters, are therefore recommended.

The relationship between welfare
and family stability .has drawn considerabie attention, but has not been
described in a definitive manner. To
some extent, th~ rel~tionship has
proved more 'complex than the methodologies applied to it. With social
integration theory as a framework,
this resear~h used pooled cross-sectional time-series analysis to develo~ a mul~ivariate model of state divorce rates. We collected data on
divorce rates, welfare spending, and
a wide range of control variables for
each year from 1960 to 1984. We found
that welfare spending has a negative
impact on state divorce rates, but

spending is related to higher divorce
rates. Reconciling these disparate
findings, and the implications for

from the interview. Eight provider
issues were identified: health financing, client confusion, maintaining
dignity of elders, rural costs,
coordination of services, knowledge
of aging, and education of dependents.
Five service-related issues
identified for older adults were:
failing health, maintaining dignity,
finances, lifelong skills, and fear
of dependency. The findings of this
qualitative study suggest that
family health care providers need to
be sensitive to the perspectives of

before the European invasion, comparing these to the
structures imposed on tribal nat inns. Historical effects
of political survival strategies nrc traced to the

Contemporary heterosexual relationships take
many forms and any one relationship may
fluctuate from one form to another.
To
accommodate this variety, researchers are
attending less to classes of relationships and
more to how intimate relationships develop. The
purpose of this symposium is to elucidate both
the cognitive and interpersonal processes
implicated in relationship development. With
respect to cognition, we report on whether
commitment decisions are driven by relationship
qualities or external events and on whether the
bases of decisions are associated with relational
satisfaction and stability.
With regard to
interpersonal processes, we report data on: (a)
the linkages among dimensions of social
exchange (e.g., reward level, equity); (b) on the
relative impact of these dimensions on
relationship outcomes; and (c) on the moderating
effects of socioemotional behaviors on negative
marital interactions and marital quality. The
connections between cognitive appraisals and
actual interaction are also examined.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FATHERS GONE?
FAMILIES IN POVERTY
~birlev M.H. Hanson
Research on the role of men in
families and fatherhood is
converging with recent findings
pertaining to families in marital
transitions. Data shows that
divorce leaves many families in a
state of poverty. Although
approximately 20% of single parents
are men, the majority are female
and are POOR. The federal and state
governments have become more
aggressive about child support
enforcement. Of the 9.4 million
female headed households with
father absence, almost a third of.
all court-awarded child support
went unpaid. Is law enforcement the
answer to more accountability on
behalf of fathers toward their
children following divorce, or are
there other strategies society
should be pursuing? The purpose of
this roundtable is to discuss the
current issues in regard to fathers
in families following divorce and
to dialogue about programs, policy
or research that could be
implemented to change this picture.

This roundtable is designed as a
forum for discussing the development
of an ethical code for family
scientists. Preliminary discussion
has led to the identification of two
broad components of such a code: (a)
mandating ethical behavior by
professionals in family science and
(b) identifying moral principles that
a diverse professional membership can
support. Issues include professional
relationships, hiring and publication
practices, balancing teaching
research and programmatic, and public
policy.
Identifying moral principles and
7ommunicating those to the membership
1s far more complex, and includes
affirming diversity among members, as
well as educating membership in
decision making and applied ethical
analysis.

PHYSICAL PUNISHMENT OF CHILDREN AND
DEPRESSION IN ADULTHOOD
Murray A.
Straus Family Research Laboratory,
University of New Hampshire, Durham,
NH 03824
The National Family Violence Surveys
and other studies show that almost
100%
of parents
of toddlers use
physical punishment. These high rates
are possible because of cultural norms
which expect parents to use physical
punishment "if necessary"
and a
social construction of the effects as
harmless if done in moderation by a
loving
parent.
Contrary
to
the
"harmless if done in moderation" view,
the hypothesis of my forthcoming book
is that being spanked is a traumatic
event in the lives of many children
and that for those children it has
lasting
negative
effects.
The
theoretical basis for this hypothesis
will be presented as well as findings
on a sample of 2, 051 men and 2, 811
women
which
show
that
the
more
physical punishment they experienced
as a child, the higher the probability
of depression and suicidal thoughts.

SALUTOGENESIS VS. PATHOGENESIS:
PROMOTING HEALTH IN FAMILIES LIVING
WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS
Joan Patterson and Darryl Goetz
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455
When a member has an illness that is chronic, the
family is challenged to reorganize itself to incorporate
the added cognitive, behavioral, and emotional tasks
of the illness that emerge. For many professionals
who are steeped in a biomedical paradigm, the
tendency is to neglect the psychological and social
. context of the disease -- the whole person and the
· family. A disproportionate share of resources may be
skewed toward the illness, compromising the health
of these other systems.
The medical system,
operating from its pathogenic orientation, is then
prone to diagnose dysfunction there as well. What is
needed is a salutogenic perspective where the
strengths and resources in the psychosocial context
are recognized, supported, and promoted.
During this roundtable, strategies that can be used
by health, education, and social service providers in
working with families to promote competence and
bonadaptation to the chronic challenge of illness and
disability will be discussed. Micro and macro
barriers to these primary prevention efforts will be
identified. Implications for research and training will
also be highlighted.

The goal was to investigate
whether women and men differ in
their beliefs about the sexes. A
sample of 400 undergraduate students
(200 women, 200 men) completed a
questionnaire that assessed beliefs
about sex differences and within-sex
differences in four domains
(interests, appearance, personality,
occupations). Analyses of variance
were used to assess sex differences
in beliefs. An interesting pattern
of findings emerged. First, men and
women differed in their beliefs
about differences between the sexes.
Overall, men believed that the sexes
differed more than did women.
Second, women and men differed in
the beliefs about differences within
gender groups. The implications of
these findings for intergroup
relations will be discussed.

VA Tech, Blacksburg, VA, 24060.
This study examined the supervision experience of Ph.D. students
enrolled in AAMFT accredited programs. We were interested in sex and
.gender differences as they related to
differences in the perceived supervision styles of male and female
supervisors. Supervisory styles were
assessed to compare authoritarian vs.
affiliative, directive vs. non-directive, and self-disclosing vs. nondisclosing stances. Supervisory styles
were defined as structured (authoritarian, directive, and nondisclosive)
and non-structured (affiliative, nondirective and self-disclosing). Both:
male and female supervisees perceiveq
female supervisors 'to be more nonstructured and preferred this style
of supervision. We discuss possible
difficulties that may arise due to
differences in style and ways to
assess the supervision process.

separate themselves from roles
rather than embrace them, as
they did earlier in their

Literature findings suggest that egalitarian role
sharing has a positive impact on the marital
satisfaction of women. Many studies focus on
dual-worker or dual-career couples with less
known about the effects of egalitarianism on
traditional couples. The purpose of this study was
to determine the effect of role sharing with regard
to child care tasks on the marital satisfaction of
husbands and wives who were members of the
LDS church.
A national matched pair sample of 843 LDS
parents was used. Several other variables known
to affect marital satisfaction were also included in
our analysis. An initial correlation showed
measures of egalitarianism (the degree to which
mother performed various child care tasks) to be
negatively correlated with mother's marital
satisfaction. This relationship was not found for
fathers. The same relationship held true for
mothers when a regression analysis was :nm
,which controlled for the other variables affecting
:marital satisfaction.
Results of this study will be discussed in terms of
implications for marriage and family therapists.

There were significant findings when
stage of the family life cycle,
marital status and work status of
respondent and friend were compared.

This study utilizes data from a

of Families and Households to examine boredom with 3 .familial roles
(housework, parental, spousal). Results indicate that women are more
bored than men with the housework
and spousal role·s. Boredom is asso.,; .
ciated with a variety of marital interaction variables (e~g., happines~
disagreements) and is negatively related to multiple indicators of individual well-being. Results also
suggest that fundamentalism is negatively related to familial role
boredom and that boredom with housework is associated with a variety of
factors including a nontraditional
gender role orientation, higher income, and being employed. Feeling
that what one does is not appreciated is the best predictor of role
boredom. Implications for future

We examined congruence between

family work roles and its links to
marriage and-parenting. Husbands,
wives, and preadolescents in 152
families were interviewed individually in their homes and reported in
7 nightly phone calls -about their
activities during that day. Husbands who reported more traditional
sex role attitudes but less traditional family work roles (i.e., more
equal division of labor) reported
more marital distress. Wives who
reported more liberal attitudes but
more traditional family roles
reported more marital distress.
Congruence between sex role attitudes and family work roles also
was linked to parent-child relationships and child adjustment.

their wives. The data were collected
through participant observation in a
range of recreational activities and
interviewing of a sample of 56
couples drawn from a cross section of
'community members. The study shows
that wives are expected to present
husbands fii.for play, to help raise
money for their sporting and service
clubs and entertain their fellow club
members at home. Husbands fail to
recriprocate by supporting the
leisure activities of their wives.

Preliminary results indicate that
sex differences in time spent on

Results indicated that while
homemaker women did less housework
on weekdays compared to weekends,
women employed full-time did ~
housework on the weekends than
weekdays. Fathers, regardless of
wives' employment status, did more
housework on the weekend than
weekdays. While most children
increased their involvement in
housework on the weekend, boys with

child for specific behaviors. The 20-ltem
ATPPS includes 5 subscales: child misbehaviors, moral responsibility, behavior
dangerous to self, threats & destructiveness,
and physical aggression. 66 mothers and 54
fathers from a longitudinal study of family as
educators completed the ATPPS when their
children were 19 months. Results indicated
that fathers were more likely to physically
punish than mothers, particularly for moral
responsibility questions. Collectively parents
were most likely to punish for physical
aggression. Demographic classll'ications of
income & education were not significantly
correlated with predispositions to physically
punish, but when mothers worked outside
the home, both both mothers' & fathers'
ATPPS scores were higher.

Building on the dail.v life
perspective introduced by Altergott
( 1 ~BB), we examine the ease or
difficulty of performing household
tasl;;:s among 173 elderly widowed
persons who live independently. We
catalog the types of tasks they
enjoyed and disliked. Using their
own words, we show reasons for
their evaluation of tasll:s. Favorite
tasks incluc!ed cooking, cleaning,
and gardening; most difficult were
cleaning and physically heavy work.
Satisfaction with use of time was
most often characterized by feeling
a sense of accomplishment. We note
similarities and differences by sex,
health, and length of widowhood.
The results can be used by family
practitioners who assist those
copin.e: with widowhood and seeltin~t
to maintain independent living.

VIOLENT BEHAVIORS IN FAMILIES OF RURURAL YOUTH. Richard M. Smith, Univ.
of NM, Albuquerque, NM; Thomas B. Hol_:
man, Brigham Young Univ., Provo, UT.
Data were collected on three forms
·Of violence--sibling, parent to child 1
and child to parent--in the families
of 1,364 rural youth. The incidence
of violence in rural families was compared to the incidence of violence in
families in other community settings.
Violence was found to occur in our rural sample with about the same frequency as in other settings. Female
children were more likely to be the
targets of violence. If parents had
committed a violent act toward a child
during the previous year the probability of other types of violence in the
family were greatly increased. High
rates of sibling violence were found
to persist into the young adult years.
The probability of child to parent violence was found to be higher among
those who had experienced parent to
child violence. Parents who hit their
children were 19 times more lil<:ely to
be hit by their children.

CHILD ABUSE BY MOTHERS' BOYFRIENDS:
WHY THE OVERREPRESENTATION7
Margolin, Leslie, Department of Home
Economics, The University of Iowa,
Iowa City, IA 52242-1371
This study showed that although
mothers' boyfriends perform relatively little child care, they are
responsible for substantially more
child abuse than other nonparental
caregivers. Using data drawn from
interviews with single mothers and
records of child abuse substantiated
through child protection investigation, mothers' boyfriends' overrepresentation in child abuse was
traced to five conditions:
( 1) the
location of their child care in
single parent families; (2) their
gender; (3) the absence of genetic
relationship between mothers' boyfriends and their partner's children~
(4) mothers' boyfriends' perceived
illegitimacy as caregivers and
family members; and (5) mothers'

Study examines ways in which nonoffending spouses of incest describep
their relationships & their parental
attitudes. 7 questionnaires were
administered to 35 white, predominately poor, protestant women who had
family member who committed intrafamilial sexual abuse. These women
were presented for treatment at the
Family Relations Program. Initial
finding from this study suggested
that non-offending spouses are highly distressed & have limited knowledge of healthy family functioning

Chung H. Lee & Craig M, Allen, Hum.
Dev. and Fam. Studies Dept., Iowa St.
Univ., Ames, IA 50011-1120.
This study examines the relationship between family structure, gender
and sexual abuse experienced by male
and female child sexual abusers when
they were children. A Kantor and Lehr
based index was administered to 41
female and 28 male perpet.rators in
face-to-face inierviews to classify
their families along a range from
closed to random. The dependent variable is the relative proportion of
intra- and cxtra[amilial abuse the
u(fenders experienced as children.
Findings show rates of intrafamilial
abuse highest for closed families,
and extrafamilial abuse highest for
more open and random families, for
both genders. Results suggest that
family structure may be an indicator
of intra/extrafamilial sexual abuse
sources for children at risk.
A COMPARISON OF CLINICAL AND NONCLINICAL GROUPS ON 12 VARIABLES TO
DETERMINE FAMILY RISK FOR FATHERDAUGHTER INCEST. Utesch, William E.
University of San Diego, San Diego,
CA 92110.
This study presents research
findings of a model for the comprehensive assessment and treatment of
father-daughter incest. A sample of
80 individuals (40 couples) was
divided into 3 groups: clinical
incest, clinical non-incest, and
non-clinical. Twelve variables were
tested to determine group member,ship. Five self-report instruments
were given to each individual; the
Family of Origin Scale, the SFIS-R,
the FIRA-G, the Eysenck Personality
Short Questionnaire, and the HCSQ.
Results conclude that compared to
the NC (non-clinical) group, the CI
(clinical-incest) and NI (non-incest
,clinical) groups have significantly
higher cross generational triads,
father-child estrangement, more
expression of family conflict and

This study explored the relationship between
adjustment in adult women sexually abused as
children and their perceptions of their fathers.
It was hypothesized that adjustment in
sexually abused women is positively related to
paternal characteristics found to be connected
to adjustment in women who were not
sexually abused. The sample consisted of 46
adult women who had been sexually abused
as children. Two stepwise multiple regression
analyses were run, one on the data where the
father was the perpetrator, and one on the data
where the father was not the perpetrator.
When the father was the perpetrator, no
paternal characteristics were found to be
related to adjustment. When the father was
not the perpetrator, fathers tickling their
daughters and not being absent or dependent
were related to adult functioning (Adjusted R
squared= .65). Implications for family
therapy and research are discussed.

The
purpose of this study is to derive an
empirically-based
classification
system for violent daters. Variables
used to develop this system included
characteristics of the abusers, the
abusive
acts
and
the
abusive
relationships.
Three clusters of
violent daters were identified:
the
"Committed
Problem
Solvers",
the
"Noncommitted",
and
the
"Hostile
Entrenched".
Once the clusters were
formed, we examined the patterns of
discriminating features obtained in
each cluster and across clusters to
determine the properties of each
subgroup.
Implications arising from
identification of subcategories of

the risk and protective factors
associated with it. 1-lhile few adolescent
!Jlales reported :being a victim of sa"rual
coercion, nearly a third of all females
reported such an experience. Of this
group, 35% had been forced to have
sexual intercourse; the remaining 65%
reported sane type of unwanted physical
contact. For females, there was a steady
increase in the incidence of sexual
coercion with grade. Teens who
experienced sexual coercion could be

AGGRESSION, Christopher, F. Scott,

Tempe, AZ, 85287-2502.
Scholars have emphasized the
role of individual characteristics
and relationship experiences in
males' acts of premarital sexual
aggression. This study tests a
conceptual model where having
violent attitudes, possessing
hostility towards women, and
and experiencing anger/arousal
are exogenous variables,
relationshi~ experiences are
mediating variables, and use
of sexually coercive influence
strategies are outcome
variables.
The circumstances surrounding women's
expression of violence in dating
relationships remain unknown. The
present study examines the
relationship between women's feelings
of power and authority and their
expression of violence in dating
relationships. This study surveyed
and compared 296 college-age women in
non-violent, mutually violent, and
·unilaterally violent dating
relationships on measures of
authority, power, and
coping/negotiation style. It was
hypothesized that women who express
violence will have strong feelings of
authority combined with ineffective
coping and negotiation strategies, an
inability to gain compliance from
their partner, and feelings of
powerlessness. Implications will be
presented for understanding women's
roles in violent dating
relationships.

INSIGHTS AND ADVANTAGES PROVIDED BY A
SYSTEMIC VIEW OF FAMILY VIOLENCE. Daniel
Stuart and Mark White, Dept. of Fam. Science,
Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602.
Several scholars have, in recent years,
suggested that family systems theory is not
capable of describing or dealing with family
violence. This is a serious critique of the systemic
point of view. The proposed paper presents a
different point of view by suggesting ways
systemic thinking is helpful in understanding
family violence. The paper suggests one reason
the critics believe the systemic perspective is not
effective in dealing with family violence is because
they are not asking systemic questions. By asking
non-linear and process questions the systemic
perspective suggests a radical shift in the way we
view causality and intervention. The proposed
paper will identify several insights that are not
only helpful in understanding and explaining
family violence, but also provide ideas that are not
acquired with the non-systemic perspectives. The
paper will also demonstrate how the systemic
ideas provide a basis for clinical and educational
interventions.

Univ., University Park, PA 16802.
We mapped the strategies 4,450
women incorporated into the~r daily
lives in order to guard aga~nst male
violence. Results indicated that
women employed both strategies of
"not doing" and "doing" in an attempt to avert violence by men.
In
terms of "not doing," 54% of. the
women reported giving up at least 2
solitary night-time activitLes,
while 49% chose "to do" at least 4
of the 8 listed precautions. Women
combined both "doing" and "not doing" preventive strategies, 44% of
the women eliminated at least 2
solitary night-time activities .and
took at least 4 active precautions.
Furthermore, this process of selfprotection comes to be seen as "normal. " As long as women's daily
precautionary measures are normalized, and therefore invisible, the
extent to which male violence shapes
women's lives remains hidden. Based
on feminist scholarship, a primary
goal of this study was to make the
invisible visible.

Men's violence toward women seems
to be a growing problem within our
society. Although previous studies
have examined predictors of male violence tm·:ard women, little research
has explored the underlying cause of
male hostility toward women. The
present study investigated the issue
of men's hostility toward women using
a path model. The sample consisted
of 202 Canadian male university students (median age 19 yrs). Findings
~ndicated that high scores on parental over- protection, neuroticism, &
psychoticism significantly predicted
male hostility toward women. Finally,
the moderate negative relationship
petween social assets & neuroticism
~ndicated that financial stability
may reduce qne's vulnerability toward
developing neurotic disorders.
Although domestic violence has
become a major topic of research in
the field of family studies, it has
been largely overlooked by family
therapy. This presentation will
provide an overview of the family
systems clinical literature and
offers a critique of its conception
of marital relations. In particular,
the system perspective has ignored
gender inequality and power as
central elements in marriage.
This paper further reports on the
results of a nationally representative sample of members of the
American Association of Marriage and
Family Therapists (N=333). Nearly
2/3 of this sample reported that
marital violence is not a significant
problem in their practice. Suggestions for taking violence more
seriously and enhancing women's
safety are included.

In response to the increasing awareness of
family violence, a study was conducted to
gather information concerning the perceived
use of Protective Orders by the legal system.
The need for education and intervention to
prevent family violence was also studied. A
survey of Texas Family Violence Shelters
revealed an overwhelming willingness to
refer victims of family violence to the use of
Protective Orders. Breakdowns in the
system were apparent in the areas of judge's
cooperation, method of delivery,
enforcement, and police efforts. In addition
to counseling for the abuser, the agencies
highly recommended specifically related
education for law enforcement officials and
personnel from the judicial system.
Education in public schools and for the
general public were also viewed as essential
in effectively countering the problems
inherent in family violence.

female subjects abused their male
partners significantly more often
& to a greater degree than did male
subjects of their female partners.
Alcohol consumption significantly

Only recently observational instruments have
received more attention in the field of family

only a few validity studies have been conducted.
This study tested the CRS of Olson's Circumplex
Model (CM). Specific goals included to test the
scale's reliability, validity, and the CM
hypothesis suggesting a curvilinear relationship
between cohesion/adaptability and family
functioning. The sample consisted of 182 families
who were rated by two independent judges on the
CRS based on video tapes of the families
participating in 30 minute Family Interaction
Tasks sessions. Reliability was tested in two
ways. Internal consistency (Cronbach alpha) was in
the .90 range for the three subscales. Interrater
reliability was in the .70 and .80 rage (Pearson
correlations) and percentage agreement was in the
90% range. Construct validity was measured by a
factor analysis with varimax rotation, which
revealed excellent results. Interpreting family
satisfaction and communication as indicators of
family functioning, a polynomial regression
analysis strongly supported the curvilinear
hypothesis.

88003-0003.
Translating research instruments into equivalent,
culturally sensitive forms can be problematic.
This presentation suggests a methodology for
translating instruments from one language to another
emphasizing blue-collar populations. Subjects
representative of the target population (i.e. blue-collar,
Hispanic families) were utilized in each step of the
translation process to facilitate early detection of
problems with comprehension, cultural meaning and
reliability.
After the initial translation, the instrument was pilot
tested with a monolingual Hispanic sample for clarity and
ease of understanding. Next, monolingual Hispanic
subjects were used to test for cross-cultural meaning.
Finally, .test-retest reliability for both versions was
performed using monolingual English, monolingual
Spanish and bilingual samples in order to more
accurately assess the amount of difference that could be
attributed to reliability versus translation.
This study suggests a procedure that can produce
statistically reliable, culturally sensitive, equivalent
translated instruments.

Developmental
approaches
have
been
separately applied to individuals, couples and
families. A goal of this project was to develop an
integrative model encompassing all three levels
of development to increase our understanding of
family process.
The juxtaposition of
developmental needs and stages of individuals,
couples and families helps to illustrate the
complexity of emotional and interactional issues
confronted by families. This approach enables
one to incorporate a variety o non-traditional
family structures previously excluded from most
developmental models. It i~ hypothesized that
both traditional and non-traditional family
configurations have unique sl rengths as well as
challenges as they develop through time.
Twenty-two scales (7 individual, 7 couple and 8
family) were designed to assess the level of
completion of developmental tasks within each
stage. Preliminary analysis is Fresented on a
sample of 271 respondents. AI scales achieved
mintmum standards for research purposes (.55)
and 18 of the 22 scales had reliability coefficients
over ,70. This paper describes insights gained
from a variety of descriptive statistics on the
developmental experiences reported by the 271
subjects who participated in lh1s study.

COMPARISON OF ARTICLE PURPOSE AND
CONTENT IN SELECTED FAMILY JOURNALS:
1981-1990. Leigh, Geoffrey K., Dept. of Human
Development and Family Studies, Univ. of
Nevada, Reno, NV 89557
In 1986, when Family Science Review CFSR)
was first proposed, many people objected to a
new journal because there were already several
journals dealing with family concerns. The
argument proposed was that many professional
issues were not included in typical family
journals. In May, 1988, the Ad-Hoc publication
committee issued a report in FSR which
supported their contention that theoretical/
conceptual articles, methods articles, review
articles, and professional issues or developments
were not being published in the two journals
published by the National Council on Family
Relations (NCFR).
This presentation reports on further analysis of
articles published from 1981-1990 in the NCFR
journals· (Journal of Marriage and the Family and
Family Relations), Journal of Family Issues, two
journals from the family therapy area, (Family
Process, Journal of Marriage and Family
Therapy), and FSR.
The results are supportive of the trends
outlined by the 1988 Ad-hoc committee report.

CLINICAL CORRELATES OF FAMILY
MEASURES' DATA. Leavitt, Maribelle
B., Asst. Clin. Prof., UCSF, SF, CA
94143.
Comparative case analysis of
instrument and clinical case data of
a triangulated study of 21 families'
recovery from vascular surgery
assessed the validity of three
family measures; identified clinical
correlates of the measures' data;
and evaluated the capacity of these
instruments to predict family coping
problems. Most scores were valid in
relation to observation and interview data. APGAR scores were stable
and discriminated between families
who coped well and poorly. APGAR
scores appear to provide early
clinical indicators of family stress
and coping ability. Socio economic
and other demographic factors were
not associated with scores. F-COPES
and FIRM were less discriminating,
but converged with qualitative data
in some key coping dimensions. The
study also raised questions about
the value of certain coping
strategies.

We focus on the struggles of poor
people to sustain family life in the
context of the rural economy. We
draw on our field studies of rural
families in the Midwest, Southern
Black Belt, Appalachia, and West.
These studies portray the regional
diversity and commonalities among
the nation's poor people. Despite
regional variations in work, race,
-34-
�and ethnicity, the rural poor s~are
powerlessness, lack of opportun1ty,
scarce jobs, low wages, and
persistent family poverty as a
consequence of locale, class, and
racism. Poor families often prefer
the rural environment as a place to
live, but the economy and social
structure place obstacles to their
life chances. A national rural
policy would alleviate conditions
caused by governmental policies that
have differentially made rural areas
produce more poverty in the past
decade.

healthy economies & policies that
stimulate higher employment and
earnings; improved edmployment &
earnings of women benefitting singleparent as well as nuclear families;
and the host of.varied public policies that bolster the quality of life
of different types of families over

FAMILY HEALTH CARE CHOICES. Monroe,
P. A., Human Ecology, LSU, Baton

How do families choose a health
plan when offered insurance or an
HMO? Factors expected to influence
choice included health consumerism,
decision variables, family health
needs, family composition, family
SES, and HMO knowledge. Subjects
chose insurance or one of four HMOs;
control subjects had no HMOs available. The model was estimated with
OLS regression, yielding a modest R2
of .19. Findings of statistical significance included: participation-in
the decision process, number of
chronic illnesses, and HMO knowledge
all were positively associated with
choosing an HMO; younger adults were
more likely than older adults to
choose llliOs. The consumerism variable
failed to attain significance. LOGIT
analysis indicated that the model
predicted 76% of plan choices correctly. Suggested research for working poor, poor, and elderly families'
health plan choices are discussed.

FAMILIES IN POVERTY AND THE
RISK OF HIV INFECTION AND AIDS.
Kain, Edward L.,
Southwestern
Univers1ty, Georgeto~~, TX
78626
The HIV/AIDS pandemic has
differentially affected families depending upon their
place in the social structure.
In the U.S. changing rates of
new infection have resulted in
an increasing proportion of
cases being found in minority
families.
This uneven distribution is even more pronounced
in infant and adolescent cases
with 80% of infants with AIDS
being black or Hispanic.
Worldwide distribution of
cases reflects a similar tendency. While the Asian and
African patterning of AIDS is
different, the disease still
tends to strike those families
least able to find the
resources to effectively deal
with the disease.
A comparison of mothers', fathers',
and pediatric nurses' attitudes about
the importance of parental participation in the care of hospitalized
children was conducted.
Subjects
completed questionnaires rating the
importance of parental involvement
in activities in three domains:
physical care, psycho-spiritual care,
and preparation care. Results
supported the conclusion that parents' and nurses' attitudes differed with parents reporting a greater
importance for parental participation in all three domains of care.
Mothers reported greater importance
in the domains of physical care and
psycho-spiritual care for parental
involvement than did fathers.

This study explores perceptions
of privacy in AIDS testing from
a systemic perspective.The sample
included 151 college students &
240 parents. It was hypothesized
indivs. will create a boundry
between family & community based
on desire to disclose info about
results of AIDS tests & who has
been tested. It was hypothesized
indivs. would be more likely to
want an AIDS diagnosis kept a
secret from those outside the
family than from family memberso

This presentation examines the impact of AIDS on the parent/adult
child relationship among parent caregivers of gay sons with AIDS. Drawing on literature on family caregiving of older people and research
on parents of gay sons with AIDS,
the theoretical concepts of family
ethos of affection/obligation, attitudes toward homesexual ity and family stress are reviewed. Based on
these key theoretical concepts &
linkages, a model is developed which
suggests family characteristics

THE ~UENCE OF ALCOHOL ABUSE ON

EFFECT ON THE NON-ABUSING fv:IEMBERS.
Gerardo Marti, M.L. Plume, and Vern L. Bengtson,
Andrus Gerontology Center, Los Angeles, CA
90089-0191.
How does alcohol use by one parent influence
child's affect toward and association with the other
parent? A total of 488 parent-child dyads were
included. Data were analyzed using cross-tabulations
· with a Chi-squared criterion of p<= .05. When
mothers were reported as having an alcohol problem,
child's affect toward father decreased, while
association increased. Children of alcoholic parents
may possess a sense of "obligatory love" that may
influence the maintenance of contact with the
nonabusing parent Similarly, a high value on
familism (i.e. "the family") may in part determine the
amount of contact between parents and children.
Finally, these contacts may comprise a surreptitious
monitoring of the alcoholic mother. In contrast, affect
toward mother decreased only when the father was
reported as having a major problem. It is clear that
children of alcohol abusing parents do not compensaW:
by reporting an increase in affect for the non-abusing
parent No level of alcohol use by the father
s.i.!IDificantlv influenced association toward the mother.

Eisen, Herbert Dandes and Margaret CrosbieBurnett. Dept.of Counseling Psych. Univ.of
Miami, Coral Gables, FL 33124-2040.
We examined the relationship between
grow~g up in _an alcoholic family and
perceived farruly cohesion and adaptability.
Undergraduate students (n=l39) were
administered the Children of Alcoholics
Scree~ing Test and the FACES III. Analyses
of vanance were conducted comparing
students who were reared in alcoholic
families to those students who were not.
Results indicated that while there were no
differences between the two groups on
measures of adaptability, students from
alcoholic families reported significantly less
cohesion, more discrepancy from the
established norms on cohesion, and more
discrepancy between their actual and ideal
cohesion scores. This study suggests that the
students from alcoholic families are reared in
less cohesive environments. In addition it
appears that these students desired a m~re
cohesive environment than they experienced
while growing up.

Linn, Janice and Fischer, Judith
Texas Tech University

Professionals working with codependents report this population experiences difficulty with intimacy and
intimate relationship~. Codependent
relationships are thought to be maintained through a sensitivity to the
needs and desires of others and the
use of controlling behaviors. This
study examines the relationship between codependency, intimacy and
social skills. Pearson correlations
were used to test the hypotheses.
_Codependency was ~oun~ to be negatlvely correlated w1th 1ntimacy for
both males and females and to be .unrelated to social skills. Findings
suggest that codependents engage in
behaviors that keep them involved
with others without having to risk
intimacy.
ADULT CHILDREN OF ALCOHOLICS: A PERSONALITY PROFILE FROM A NONCLINICAL

UNC-Charlotte, Charlotte, NC 28223.
The purpose of this study was to
clarify clinical reports which suggest that adult children of alcoho~
holies (ACOAs) tend to develop dysfunctional personality traits. Scant
empirical evidence exists to support
this conclusion in nonclinical samples. Out of a sample of 230 young
adults, 59 were classified as ACOAs
and 175 as NonACOAs based on the
Children of. Alcoholics Screening
Test. The two groups were compared
on .self-concept, anxiety, and their
knowledge of ACOA issues. No significant differences were found on self
concept and knowledge. Significant
differences were found on anxiety,
with ACOAs reporting greater anxiety
levels than NonACOAs (t=2.3; df=231;
p <.05). Findings are discussed in

FAMILY CORRELATES OF TEN-YEAR
MORBIDITY IN CYSTIC FIBROSIS
Joan Patterson, Jeffrey Budd, Darryl Goetz,
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455
CF is a genetic disease that is fatal due to
progressive loss of pulmonary function. Families'
abilities to comply with improved home treatment bas
prolonged life expectancy from 5 yrs to 25 yrs in the
past 3 decades. In this study, it was hypothesized that
family functioning influences tx compliance and
morbidity in children with CF. In 1979, family
stress, resources, coping, and compliance were
assessed in 91 families with a CF child. Morbidity
(the trend in the CF child's pulmonary function) was
calculated from clinic tests (4x/YR) over the last 11
yrs. 30% of the variance in morbidity was explained
by balanced coping, social involvement, compliance,
and X-ray score.
When both parents' coping
emphasized family integration, support for self, and
medical consultation, morbidity was lower. Active
social involvement increased morbidity. Compliance
with bronchial drainage tx, clinic visits and exercise
reduced morbidity.
Compliance was better in
families with more organization, expressiveness, less
social involvement, and when parents' total work
hours were less.
These findings point to the
importance of families balancing their resources
between the child's needs and other family needs.

We investigated the effect of a
child's disability on the mother's
reported stress asking 3 questions.
Do mothers of children with disabilities report more stress than mothers
of children without disabilities?
Does increased severity result in
more stress?
Does the severity of
the disability contribute to mother's
stress in association with other
family
characteristics,
perceived
family resources, support and life
events?
Mother data for children
whose developmental quotient was 75
or less (n=371) were selected from
the
Early
Intervention Research
Institute's
longitudinal
studies.
Mother's stress was measured by the
Parenting
Stress
Index
(PSI).
Percentile stress scores indicated
that
mothers
of
children
with
disabilities reported more stress
than mothers of children with out
disabilities. Increases in severity
did not significantly affect mother's
stress,

Fifty-two families answered ads in
newsletters of agencies that encourage support for parents of special
needs children or were contacted if
they were listed with the National
Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
Families from the US, Canada, Puerto
Rico, and Costa Rica provided demographic information and a profile of
their child with Agenesis of the
Corpus Callosum (ACC). Every family
listed concurrent anomalies (X=3.9;
range=1-9). Anomalies listed most
often were developmental delay (50%),
visual impairment or blindness (42%),
and seizures (27%). Based on this
information, an international directory of families with children who
have ACC was compiled as the first
step in developing a support network.

THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF SUFFERING A .
HIP FRACTURE IN LATER LIFE:
IMPLICATIONS FOR RECOVERY. Roberto,
Karen A. Gerontology Program, Univ.
of N. Colorado, Greeley, CO 80639.
The purpose of this study was to
examine the perceived financial
burden of suffering a hip fracture.
A volunteer sample of 101 communitydwelling older women were interviewed. Women who perceived their
hip fractures as very financially
burdensome had better overall health
but a smaller informal network than
those who perceived the financial
impact of their fractures as burdensome. Women who perceived their hip
fractures as financially burdensome
expressed lower levels of optimism,
higher levels of stress and relied
more on friends for assistance than
women who did not perceive their
financial situation as burdensome.
Since personal perceptions can influence recovery, family health care
providers need to educate hip fracture patients about the psychological consequences of their condition.

CODEPENDENCY IN THE FAMILY. Fischer,
Judith; Wampler, Richard; Lyness,
Kevin; & Thomas, Madoc. HDFS, Texas
Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409.
Recent writings have linked a
dysfunctional family of origin
(through alcoholism and/or dysfunctional family patterns) to codependency. Codependency has been des~
cribed as a common feature among
addictions. This study examined
both issues with 86 women and 85 men
(1/3 of whom in each group were recovering from addiction) • Number of
family addictions, but not dysfunctional family patterns, was predictive of greater codependency. For
women, codependency mediated between
family addictions and risk taking,
demonstrating a protective function.
For men, codependency moderated the
effect of family variables on alcohol use and risk taking. These
results suggest caution in discussing the origin and role of codependency. Additional research is needed
in order to formulate family policy
in this area.

UW-Madison, WI 53705 and Karen
Kinsey, ARC, Inc., Madison, WI 53713.
The Center for Women and Children
(CWC) was established in 1989 with funds
appropriated by the WI Legislature
targeting underserved populations affected
by AODA. Chemically dependent women
with children, specifically those receiving
AFDC, minority, high risk, and low
income women are targeted at the ewe.
The CWC has undergone the first year of
a comprehensive evaluation. A database
was established on client characteristics,
assessment findings, service utilization, and
assessment of outcome. Client outcome
interviews and intensive site visits were
also conducted. Based on this data, it is
concluded that the provision of child-care,
attention to the family unit, utilization of an
orientation focusing on women-specific
therapeutic issues within a feminist
framework, and the day treatment modality
contribute to attracting and retaining clients
often difficult to engage in treatment.

ASPECTS OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AND
VIOLENCE TOWARD INTIMATES AMONG LOW
INCOME MEN.
Teresa Julian, Robin Strain, Mark Young, Shawn
Miller, Dept. of Fam. & Comm., Ohio State
Univ., Columbus, OH 43210.
The primary goal of this pilot study was to
incorporate an ecological model in exploring the
relationships between identified correlates of
male violence toward female intimates. A
convenience sample of low income men
participating in a mental health program to
reduce violent behavior was compared with a
group of nonviolent males (N =40). Subjects
were matched on various measures of
socioeconomic data. Measures included the
Michigan Alcoholism Screen Test, ConflictTactics Scale, Autonomy/Relatedness Scale, and
Life Experiences Survey. Demographic variables
were investigated using chi-square and two
sample t-tests. Both univariate and multivariate
logistic regression were utilized. Non-alcoholism,
income, perceived quality of intimate relationship
were significant. Utilizing a comparison group
and an ecological model assist in the
understanding of the complex nature of male
violence toward female intimates.

STRESSES, STRENGTHS, AND COPING IN
FAMILIES WITH AN ASTHMATIC CHILD.
Carson, David K. Child and Family Studies
Program, Department of Home Economics,
University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY 82071.
Despite the fact that asthma is the most
common chronic illness of childhood, there have
been relatively few studies investigating the
stresses, strengths, and coping abilities of
families with an asthmatic child. This study
examined 41 such families. Several structured
and unstructured scales were completed by
mothers and fathers. Quantitative data collected
from this sample were compared with normative
data obtained on each of the standardized
measures. The results indicated that while study
sample families did manifest significantly greater
stress, strains and difficulties than the various
normed groups, they also appeared to have some
inherent strengths and resiliency. However, the
findings provide strong support for the notion
that many of these families may be at risk for a
multitude of serious problems. The results may
be useful to health care professionals and others
who serve the needs of families with children
who have asthma and perhaps other chronic
illnesses.

THE INFLUENCE OF HYSTERECTOMIES
ON STRESS, COPING, AND QUALITY OF
LIFE. Carol A.Darling & Yvonne M. Smith.
Dept. of Pam., Child,_& Cons. Sci., FSU, Tallahassee, FL 32306.
Since women are having hysterectomies in
record numbers, the purpose of this study was
to examine the influence of family strains,
physiological and psychological health stresses,
coping, level of stress and perceived sexual satisfaction upon the life satisfaction of women
who have and have not experienced a hysterectomy. A survey research design was employed
which utilized a national random sample of
women (n=346) between the ages of 45 and 60
who were members of an association of college-educated women. Research instruments included the Family Inventory of Life Events &
Changes Scale, Women's Health Questionnaire,
Family Crises Oriented Personal Evaluation
Scale, Index of Sexual Satisfaction, and Generalized Life Contentment Scale. Although there
was no significant difference in the quality of
life of those women who had and had not experienced a hysterectomy, there were differences
in their sexual satisfaction and the interaction
of the independent variables as they were integrated to predict overall quality of life for both
groups. (Supported by the American Association of University Women)

Alcohol abuse constitutes a
major source of potential stress
and conflict in families.
In this
study the Canadian National Alcohol
and Drug Survey was used as a data
base for examining the relationship
between having an alcohol abusing
partner and life consequences in a
variety of areas. A sample of 259
females with alcohol abusing
partners were compared with a demographically matched sample of 259
females with partners who did not
abuse alcohol.
Results showed that
having an alcohol abusing partner
was associated with greater life
stress, more marital conflict, less
social support and more selfreported use of valium and antijepressants.

COPING STRATEGIES IN FAMILY STRESS
MANAGEMENT: TOWARD
A
BETTER
CONCEPTUALIZATION. Martin. Paul H. and
Burr, Wesley R., Dept. of Fam. Sciences, Brigham
Young Univ., Provo, Utah 84602.
This paper addresses the confusion that is found
in the family stress literature involving the
conceptualization of coping strategies. McCubbin
(1979) introduced the concept of coping strategies
and it has become a central part of the literature on
family stress. However, there are several problems
that deserve attention. For example, there are many
lists of coping strategies and they are only partly
integrated. Also, some of the terms that are being
called coping strategies are merely static correlates
or resources. This paper attempts to clarify the
difference between correlates (static variables),
resources, and coping strategies (what a family tries
to do or use effectively to manage family stress) and
also provide increased conceptual order in the many
lists of strategies.

Does Trying To Enhance Self Esteem Make
Problems Worse? Wesley R. Burr and Clark
Christensen. Department of Family Sciences,
Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah 84602.
This paper is an attempt to bring a different
point of view to the literature about self esteem.
It is widely believed that high self esteem is a
prerequisite to social effectiveness, but this
paper argues it is more helpful to think of the
quality of the family emotional system as the
more relevant prerequisite. When this shift is
made in what we appeal to as the explicans it
leads to several important other ideas. It leads
to the conclusion that attempts to improve self
esteem are misguided and hence will tend to be
ineffective in accomplishing what people hope.
The empirical literature is reviewed, and it is
argued that the research supports this
conclusion. The new theoretical ideas are also
expanded to argue that the contemporary
emphasis on self esteem is more than just
irrelevant. It also has unintended destructive
side-effects of undermining the quality of the
family emotional system.

Whether or not attributions hold
the promise of elucidating the process by which perceptions of parental
relations are carried into adult intimate relationships was tested. In
Study I young adults ages 18-23 (N=
132) responded to the Causal Dimension Scale as well as questions on
closeness. Study II had new subjects
(N=134) report on attributions toward
positive and negative aspects of
their relationships with their mother
or father and perceptions of closeness in intimate relationships. In
both studies, attributions in the
parental relationship were found to
exert a powerful indirect effect on
the closeness in intimate relationships through mediation of attributions in the intimate relationship.
The data suggests that individuals
construct meaning about their parenta~
relationships and transfer this to
intimate relationships.

Ranging from the comer market to the large
corporation, there is a long and rich tradition of families
in business. Yet the blurring of family and business can
create tremendous confusion and stress for family
members. This paper extend!! on the Ballard-Reiach
and Weigel (1991) model which blends the family and
work spheres into an exchange-baaed model of family
interaction, within the context of intergenerational
family businesses. The intergenerational family bti11ineem
is neoted within three overlapping systems--the older
generation, the younger generation, and the business,
which exist within the larger BOCial context. Interaction
between these systems is carried out through a process
of social exchange, which leads to the negotiation of
roles and power currencies, and the development of an
individual perspective of the business/family system.
Members will work toward maintenance, change or

THE RELATIONSHIP OF YOUNG CHILDREN'S

FACTORS. E.M.Biunk, J.A. Reed, S. Stalnaker,
S. Williams, SWTSU, San Marcos, TX 78666.
The family may play a major role in the
formation of self-concept for young children.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the
relationship between preschool children's selfconcept and socieconomic factors of the family.
To investigate this relationship, 276 three to
five year old females completed the adapted
Self-Concept and Motivation Inventory. This
inventory describes feelings of self adequacy
for young children. Parents completed a
questionnaire that provided demographic
information including household income,
educational achievement of mother and father,
and occupation of mother and father. Results
of the study indicated that self-concept was
significantly correlated to household income,
occupation of father, and educational achievement
of father and mother. These findings support
the theoretical assumption that self-concept
is constructed through social interaction or
as a child perceives his/her own value as
a reflection of his family/social world.

The purpose of this paper is t~
explain changes in family poverty in the u.s., 1947-1988.
The theoretical model integrates economic & sociological
theories of the causes of family poverty in an attempt to ex•
plain:
1) changes in the median income & poverty rates of
families with children under 1~
over time, and 2) persisting
patterns of economic stratification since WWII.
Macro-economic factors such as productivity & the growth of the economy, demographic factors such a~
the "baby bust" .<;, changes in
labor force participation, social policies, and sexism and
racism are suggested as interacting to determine changes in
levels of family poverty.
This study estimated the impact
of parental absence during childhood on adult socioeconomic attainment. Data from the National
Survey of Families and Households
were used. For white males, white
females, black females, and to a
lesser extent, Hispanic females,
respondents who experienced
separation from a parent had lower
levels of attainment than did those
who grew up in continuously intact
families. However, no associations
were observed for black males or
Hispanic males. The estimated
effects of parental absence were
largely mediated by education and
marital status. The data provide
no support for the notion that
single parent families contribute
to the lov1 attainment of minority
males.

THE SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES
OF POVERTY AMONG WOMEN. Seff, Monica
Sociology, Univ. of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX 76019.
Poverty has negative consequences
for psychological well-being making
it difficult for individuals to improve their situations. Welfare
Dependent (n=l300), (ow Income But
Not on Welfare (n=ll3), and Higher
Income (n=300) families are compared
on the following factors: selfefficacy, self-worth, locus of control
and depression. These factors affect
motivation. The specific problem is:
Does relieving poverty through AFDC
detrimentally affect self-esteem and
responsibility? Methods include
correlations and regression. Conclusions indicate that welfare dependent
individuals had less personal control
and higher depression. Personal control influences effective problem
solving. Implications of this study
suggest that long-term use of public
assistance detrimentally affects recipients• perceptions of control.

FAMILY LIFE, POVERTY, AND THE
UNDERCLASS DEBATE;EMPIRICAL
EVIDENCE. Jarrett, Robin, Dept. of
Sociology, Loyola University,
Chicago, II. 60626
The paper examines three key propositions found
within the underclass debate. Neighborhood
Concentration Effects, Social Isolation of
Inner-City Families, and Family Adaptations to
Poverty, are explored using qualitative field
data from poor, African-American families. Key
findings indicate family networks which transcend
the local inner-city community, greater socioeconomic heterogeneity within families, and
variations in family coping strategies. The
study has implications for how researchers
conceptualize neighborhoods, family boundaries,
and the internal dynamics of family life. While
the underclass debate is generally correct in
highlighting the impact of devastating economic
change in poor communities, it is limited by the
dependence on quantitative data. Qualitative data
which emphasize community social processes and
family internal dynamics suggest a more complex
and heterogeneous picture of life in poverty.

SHARING POVERTY, SHARING LIFE,
SHARING DEATH: DIFFERENTIAL RISKS OF
MORTALITY AMONG SPOUSES. Ken R. Smith
and Cathleen D. Zick, Family &
Consumer Studies, U of Utah, Salt
lake City, UT 84112.
How does a couple's poverty status
affect the mortality risks of both
spouses? The shared environment
hypothesis argues that poverty yields
the same high risk of mortality for
both spouses. However, one spouse may
have greater access to resources that
reduces his/her mortality. These
hypotheses are tested using couplelevel data from the Panel Study· of
Income Dynamics, 1968-87. The sample
of 2,485 couples yielded 425 husbands
and 222 wives who died during the 20
year follow-up. Based on eventhistory analyses that explicitly
treat spouses as pairs, the results
indicate that both spouses have
significantly higher mortality risks
when they are poor but this effect is
strongest for wives. This suggests
that the adverse health effects of
poverty fall primarily on wives.

living in small communities.
A regression model was developed
to facilitate understanding the
factors contributing to higher levels

social aspects of shelter are

Office of Research and Data Analysis,
OB-34F, Dept. of Social and Health
Services, Olympia, WA 98504.
Out of total births, how many
babies are born to low income
families? Do low income mothers have
adequate access to good prenatal
care?
To address these questions we
interviewed a large representative
sample of Washington women who gave
birth in June 1990.
Overall income distribution was
bimodal--most women were either poor
or well off, with few women in a
middle category. 54% of women were
lower income, at or below 185% of the
Federal Poverty Level, which made
them potentially eligible for
Medicaid paid maternity care. These
lower income women were less likely
to seek or get care quickly, and they
received less adequate care.
Furthermore two thirds of those women
on Medicaid experienced one or more
barriers to care.
ATTITUDES TOWARD POVERTY AND HOMELESSNESS. Sherri N. Givens, H. Wallace

36830.
Assessing the attitude of the general population is a critical first
step in addressing America's problem
of homelessness, because it is ultimately the general population that must
commit the resources to fight the problem. Detailed knowledge of attitudes
concerning homelessness is, therefore,
essential tc any politically promising effort to address the problem.
Attitudes toward homelessness and
poverty in a suburban southern community
were obtained by means of a survey questionnaire. This project found a fundamentally sympathetic attitude toward the
poor and homeless. Respondents 'vere essentially altruistic and indicated a willingness to be personally involved in
helping. Respondents favored employment
and self-sufficient methods for addressing the problem. We suggest continued
efforts to assess peoples' attitudes toward poverty and homelessness in order
to promote sound public policy.

out, wives tended to be more depressed In 1989
than wives who had suffered less stress. Their

their husbands'.
The couples' anxiety and
depression were a function of the quality of their
marital relationship and were negatively related to
family effectiveness. Families under severe stress

their family higher in adaptability and wives in
togetherness. This was not true, however, if
wives were depressed.
Findings suggest a special vulnerability of wives
for lasting mental health symptoms and the need
for a family health evaluation after past economic

POVERTY-IrS EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS: THE
MERGING OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. Fitzgerald. M. Gebeke. D. Pankow.
D. and Weed. C. North Dakota State
University, Fargo, ND 58105.
We conducted an innovative conference
addressing the issue of poverty in North
Dakota. Typically, conferences are targeted
at human service providers who are already
aware of the problems. This conference began
with a group of professionals concerned
about the misconceptions of poverty and the
lack of understanding within the business and
economic development communities regarding their role in the reduction of poverty.
Businesses were given an opportunity to
voice their concerns regarding minimum
wage laws, increasing costs of health care,
dependent care, job training programs and
employee benefits. The networking results
and group processes appropriate for this
diverse audience were reviewed. Overall,
participants felt that the interagency
networking was an important component of
the conference. As a result, key agencies,
policy makers and businesses developed an
action plan to reduce the roadblocks to
progress in ND.

INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS: ARE

Marital, parental, and life satisfaction variables for poor and nonpoor rural households were used to
determine if there were differences
in interpersonal relationships. A
rando~ sample of financial managers
in rural households in eight states
(n=2,510) was used. Data were ana~
lyzed using t-tests and discriminant
function analysis. The poorer households reported lower levels of·satisfaction wi.th several aspects of
family life and cohesion and higher
levels of negative communication.
Cohesion, parental satisfaction, and
positive communication were the most
discriminating variables. Findings
indicate some significant interpersonal relationship differences

IL 61801. This paper describes the
invasion of a group of non-farm working poor families into a previously
farming-dependent community in IL.
The working-poor are becoming a dominant presence in the previously dying
village. Data are drawn from a total
community door-to-door survey (n=72Hh)
& a sub-sample (n=12Hh) studied more
intensively during a 9 mo. field study
1989-90. The working-poor are buying
the village's vacant housing. Older
residents & ne\vcomers both believe
working-poor will eventually gain
control of the village from the "old
guard". Awareness of the eventual
succession breeds incessant hostility
between the 2 groups. Village identity is being transformed by the gradual newcomer invasion & represents a
new trend in rural community development.

lives were characterized by hard
work and lack of money or conveniences. Yet common to all their
lives emerged themes which seemed
to have buffered them against the

group homogeneity, satisfaction in
having met basic physical needs,
pride and feelings of accomplishment in the work they did, the

Jean W. Bauer. Marlene S. Sturn. and Paula J.
Delaney. Department of Family Social Science,
University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN 55108.
A model was tested to help understand the
role of predisposing, need, and enabling
variables in explaining differences in economic
well-being of elderly with functional limitations.
Data were from the 1982 National Long Term
Care Survey and individuals reporting income
(n = 5,670) provided the sample. Economic wellbeing was measured with an income-to-needs
ratio. A modified step-wise multiple regression
analysis was used to examine the combined
_predictive relationships (R 2 = .23, p<.01).
Investment Income, retirement Income, and
marital status explained the most variance.
Other independent variables contributing to the
economic well•being were:
risk protection
strategies, other income sources, age, and
ethnicity. Implications for policy makers include
how to understand the accumulative effect of
combination of variables on economic security.
Family scholars can assist in developing policies
to address economic vulnerabilitv.

THE INTEGRATION OF PARENT EDUCATION

Ellensburg, WA 98926.
The U.S. Dept of Education has
allocated significant resources for
the implementation of family literacy programs, especially with low
income families. The goal of these
programs is to improve educational
opportunities for both children and
parents by integrating early childhood and adult education into a
unified program. The salience of
parents as the first teachers to
their children justifies the family
literacy movement. Yet, the inclusion of a parent education component
remains unspecified in most programing efforts. This presentation will
explicate a model used in Washington
state in which the family literacy
program is structured around parent
education as the core. In addition,
family life educators will be encouraged to become more activelv

PARTNERS IN PARENTING: EDUCATIONAL
SUPPORT FOR SCHOOL-AGED PARENTS.
Gaudy, Glenna, University of Nevada Cooperative Extension, Las Vegas, NV 891 04.
Nevada has the fourth highest teen pregnancy
rate in the nation (125 per 1,000 births.) Most
were first time births to young, inexperienced
mothers. Adolescent parents are more likely to
experience stress stemming from the lack of understanding of child development and parenting
roles. Parenting teens face the additional stress
of parenting and marriage. Research indicates
adolescent parents cope better if they have a
strong social support system, high self-esteem
and coping skills to deal with problems directly.
Using in-home visits, an Extension Assistant
teaches weekly individual classes on parenting,
child care, and home and financial management
to limited income teens. The series takes approximately nine months to complete, and to
date ten mothers have graduated. Qualitative
results include mothers being more attentive to
their children, talking more to their children, and
returning to school. Quantitative results will be
available by spring.

A team of professionals/volunteers were
identified to attend facilitator training.
Parents who completed the parenting workshops
were encouraged to facilitate subsequent groups
in an effort to encourage building support
networks. Group facilitators were not expected
to be experts, but rather to guide the group,
lead discussion, encourage participants to try
new ideas and methods at home in order to
improve their parenting skills. An important

UPDATING AND INTEGRATING THE

CYCLE STAGES: A TEACHING MODEL.
Beverly E. H. Rogers and David G. Fournier
International Family Center, Manhattan, KS 66502:
Developmental approaches have long intrigued
educators who have found them helpful in
understanding the strengths and limitations of
individuals, couples and families in a variety of
settings. This paper presents a new visual model
designed to address: 1) the interactive effects of all
three developmental cycles (individual, couple and
family) conjointly over the life span and 2) nontraditional lifestyles.
As the number of non-traditional lifestyles
continues to grow, effective role models are more
difficult to find. The proposed conceptual model
could assist individuals in exploring their current
position across all three cycles and in identifying
potential high stress times. Care has been taken to
integrate the results of existing studies of nontraditional lifestyles into the identified individual
couple and family life cycle tasks.
'
T?is process can assist ed.ucators in developing a
curnculum more appropnately suited to their
audiences and may aid therapists in helping clients
differentiate between temporary developmental
adjustment issues and more chronic familv
dysfunctions.

WORK AND F.AHILY ROLES IN JAPAN.
John Engel, Department of Human

Honolulu, Hawaii 96822.
Comparison of Japanese and
Americans suggests that Japanese are
more traditional, sex-typed and
segregated in their work and family
roles and values, and less prone to
idealize equal sharing of roles.
Work ethic ideals bordering on
,.qorkaholism keep many men "absent"
from home and family, and appear to
be related to the increasing
incidence of "death from overwork."
Family role ideals encourage women
to quit work when they marry, to
become professional homemakers and
mothers. "Education mamas" devote
their lives to facilitating their
children's preparation for college
and career success.

VIDEOTAPING FAMILIES AT HOME:
RESEARCH ISSUES. Murphy, Susan.
San Jose State University, San Jose,
CA. 95192-0057.
This round-table will address issues
related to videotaping families when
conducting family research. This will be
a collaborative session, covering those
topics of importance to the participants.
This may include: selecting equipment,
cataloging videotaped data, reactive
effects, supplying copies of tapes to
families, making decisions re: when and
what to observe with the camera, pros
and cons of having research assistants
help with data collection and transfer of
videotaped data. This researcher has
been using videotapes for five years to
observe family interaction in· the home,
specifically in families with children.
Many issues emerge when one decides
to use videotaped data in family
research. This round-table will allow us
to learn from each other's experiences.
FAMILY OF ORIGIN THERAPY: WHAT THE SELF-HELP
BOOKS TELL US TO DO. Jeffry H. Larson, Ph.D., CFLE,
University of Rorida. Gainesville, FL 32611.
Recently there has been a popularization of self-help
books on overcoming personal and family problems by focusing in therapy on the role of one's dysfunctional family of
origin patterns. Books such as Toxic Parents (Forward, 1990),
Bradshaw on: The Family (Bradshaw, 1987); Your Inner Child
of the Past (Missildine, 1982); and Making Peace With Your
Parents (Bloomfield, 1983), advise individuals to "overcome the
hurtful legacy of their parents and reclaim their lives." This
has led to an increasing number of individuals and couples who
come into therapy requesting "family of origin" therapy: as a
means to treat such problems as depression, addictions,
compulsive behaviors, and marital and family problems. It is,
therefore, important for the marriage and family therapist to be
aware of the content and philosophy of these self-help
approaches and the strengths and limitations of such
approaches.
The purpose of this round table is to: 1) discuss and
evaluate the philosophy and methods of family of origin
therapy as described in some of the most popular self-help
books; 2) discuss when such approaches are the "treatment of
choice" for an individual or family problem and when such
approaches may actually to more harm than good.
The presenter has 10 years of experience as a marriage
and family therapist in clinical practice and as a trainer of
marriage and family therapists. He has conducted both
individual and group family of origin therapy and has
conducted research on the topic of the influences of family of
origin problems on individual and family development.

SOCIAL srA'IUs, FAMILY sTRUCIURE AND

PREDICTING QUALITY OF PARENTADOLESCENT RELATIONS AMONG REENTRY
STUDENT FAMILIES
Fry, V.F., Wilson, S.M., Wilson, J.D.
VPI, Falls Church, VA 22042
Students over 35 are the fastest
growing segment of college students.
Often reentry families have an
adolescent member. Symbolic
interaction was used to examine
sources of conflict, coping, family
stress, and marital strength on the
quality of the parent-adolescent
relationship. A scientific sample of
97 reentry students with adolescents
(aged 10-19) returned questionnaires.
Multiple regression yielded
results which support the thesis that
.the perception of conflict and coping
were predictors of the parentadolescent relationship. Parent
gender, age, and marital strength
were not related to reentry parents'
perception of the quality of their
relationship with their adolescent.
FLE's and others can use these
results to dispel myths and to aid
reentry student/family adjustments.

PARENTAL CONTROL AND ADOLESCENT PROBLEM
BEHAVIORS. Barber, Brian K, Program for Adolescent
Research, Center for Studies of the Family, Brigham
Young University, Provo, UT 84602.
One of the current Issues of concern In adolescent
problem behavior research Is the question of the whether
specific problem behaviors have unique etiologies, or
whether they are symptoms of an underlying problem
syndrome (Bachman, at al., 1971 ; Jesser & Jesser, 1977;
Kaplan, 1980).
This study focuses on types of parental and family
control and their effects on adolescent problem
behaviors. Findings from the child development and
family functioning literatures are Integrated Into a theory
that distinguishes between psychological and behavioral
control, and predicts that these control pattern will
discriminate between Internalized and externalized
problem behaviors. Data come from a sample of 875 1116 years old youth from 14 schools In a southeastern
community. First and second order factor analyses are
conducted on measures of control evident In the parentchild dyad as well as at the family level. USREL analyses
confirm that high levels of psychological control are
predictive of Internalized problems (depression) but not
of externalized problems (delinquency). Conversely, low
levels of behavioral control are strongly related to
delinquency but not to depression. The model showed
very few differences when tested on boys and girls
separately.

NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF ASTRONG PARENTAL
COALITION IN FAMILY PROBLEM SOLVING WITH ATRISK PREADOLESCENTS. Regina Vuchinich, Sam
Vuchinich and Chris Coughlin, Dept. of Human
Dev. and Family sci., oregon state u.,
Corvallis, OR 97331.
This study examines how the strength
of the parental coalition influences the
effectiveness of family problem solving in
families with male adolescents at-risk for
delinquency. Families selected problems from
a list that they felt were relevant to them.
They tried to resolve two problems in 20
minutes. The sessions were videotaped and
coded for prosocial behavior, oppositional
behavior, and for the strength of the parental
coalition. Problems solving effectiveness was
assessed by trained raters. Multiple
regression with a summary problem solving
effectiveness score as the dependent variable.
The results showed that stronger parental
coalitions were associated with less effective
problem solving. Oppositional behavior also
predicted less effective problem solving,
controlling for child aggression and family
status. Implications of these results are
discussed.
DAILY EVENTS AND EMOTION IN THE LIVES
OF YOUNG ADOLESCENTS.
Asmussen,
Linda and Larson Reed, University of
Illinois, Urbana, IL, 61801.
Entry
into
adolescence
is
associated
with
more
frequent
neg~tive
affect
among
many
adolescents.
The
current
study
investigates the linkages between
affect and the day-to-day events in
the lives of young adolescents.
The sample for this study includes
202 randomly selected 5th-8th grade
students. Using a "daily diary" log,
we obtained reports on the everyday
events
that
young
adolescents
consider
significant,
and
the
emotions generated by these events.
The
findings
of
this
study
illustrate that the negative affect
frequently
associated
with
adolescence is related to an increase
in negative daily events associated
with entry into this age period.
At
the same time, however, the findings
show that positive daily events are
much more frequent than negative
events and also increase across this
age period.

State Univ., Ames, IA 50011-1030;
Dwyer, S.K. Virginia Polytechnic
Inst., Blacksburg, VA 24061-0416.
This study examined the family
context, social relationships and
levels of self esteem of impoverished
rural adolescents (N=542), using
FACES and the Offer Self Image Questionnaire. Hypotheses were formulated from a deficit model of
socialization processes which assumes
that an environment of poverty will
cause significant social, interpersonal, and family difficulties.
The results did not support these
hypotheses.
In general, these adolescents were functioning very well
within the dimensions studied. However, significant differences did
appear with males having generally
greater difficulty than females in
all areas. These findings challenge
the assumptions which have guided
program and public policy formation
for families in poverty and are a
mandate to re-evaluate our approach
to studying this population group.

286 mothers) responded to self-report
questionnaires. Multiple regression
was us-ed to analyze the data separa:tely for mothers and fathers. Result::
indicated conformity, legitimate
power and reward power were significant predictor& of parental satisfaction for both fathers and mothers. In
addition, expert power was positive
predictor of parental satisfaction
for mothers. Overall, both the

STUDY. Yi-Min Wang and Karen Altergott,
Dept. of Child Dev. and Fam. Studies,
Purdue Univ.,W. Lafayette, IN 47907.
This study investigates how family styles
influence youth identity, and how culture
influences both family styles and youth
identity. Based on systems theory, FACES
III was used to measure family styles in
terms of cohesion and adaptability. In
addition, OMEIS was used to measure
identity status in terms of identity diffusion,
foreclosure, moratorium and achieved.
Seventy-five students with a Chinese
cultural background and six hundred and
sixty-two undergraduate American students
responded to questionnaires. Chinese
students are more likely to be in low
cohesive families, slightly less likely to be in
highly adaptable families, and are more
likely to be in diffused identity status and
less likely to be in moratorium status than
are American students. Overall, while
identity diffusion is related to low cohesion,
family style had no impact on likelihood of
foreclosed, moratorium, and achieved
identity outcomes.

Established
instruments measuring familism, parent·
adolescent companionship, parental support,
adolescent conformity to parents, parental
power, and parents as significant others
were indicators af family connectedness.
Family separateness was assessed by measures
of coercive power, punitiveness and love

students from university family science
courses participated. We measured the
family strengths of the grandparent-grandchild relationship, and looked at the relation of a number of other variables
(contact, importance, roles, expected
behaviors) to family strengths.
Although most respondents scored high
when rating the strength of their relationship with the grandparent, a range of family
strength scores were found. Family strengths
were related to amount of contact, health and·
age of the grandparent, rated importance,
perceived grandparent roles and behaviors.
Relationship strengths were not related to
proximity, family side, or grandparent
gender. Implications include the need for an
expansion of the roles of the grandparent and

FAMILY NAMING PATTERNS AND INTERGENERATIONAL KINSHIP AFFILIATIONS.
Immel, Nancy E. & Schvaneveldt, Jay
D. Dept. of FHD, Utah State University, Logan, UT 84322-2905.
From the perspective of the symbolic interactionist, family naming
patterns can be viewed as opportunities to express family connectedness.
Ninety families, comprised of three
generations, were interviewed regarding the selection of names for their
children. Names of relatives were
the largest sinole source of names
for children. Of 369 children, 16%
received first names and 39%
received middle names of re-latives.
Boys were more likely than girls to
be named for relatives. It was
predicted that families who rated
themselves higher on intergenerational kinship affiliation and
religiosity would be more likely to
name their children after family
members. This relationship was
found to be significant for the
first generation only.

white older family members'support
patterns.
The 1986 Longitudinal
Study on Aging (LSOA) reinterview
data wBre used in the study. The
file consists of 5,151 persons aged
70 and over.
Results from a hierarchical regression analysis for the total
sample revealed no evidence that
race affected receipt of assistance.
Functional ability was most predictive of assistance received. The
model was a better explanatory tool
for white rather than black respondents.
The results suggest that
policy must be guided by family

Young Univ. Provo, UT 84602
Despite the belief that pro·
vidin~ care to an elderly relative can negatively impact
family relationships no research has empirically examined
this issue. This study examined data from 90 multigenerat1onal families on six variables: elderly depression,
elderly impairment, mental
caregiving, caregiver/elder
relationship closeness, spouse
burden, and caregiver burden.
Elderly depression and caregiver burden directly impacted
marital happiness. The other
variables impacted happiness
indirectly through caregiver
burden.
The purpose of this study was to identify major
themes emphasized by caregiving families in their
conversations about living with the stressful
situation of Alzheimer's disease. Videotaped family
interviews were conducted with 38
multigenerational families who were providing
home care for a member in the early stages of the
disease. Family perceptions were analyzed with a
computer-assisted content analysis program,the
Minnesota Contextual Content Analysis program.
Caregiving families emphasized 4 major themes: (a)
the ambiguous nature of the Alzheimer's disease
diagnosis; (b) awareness that "something is wrong;"
(c) denial and/or exclusion of a family member; and
(d) the ambiguous nature of family life with
Alzheimer's disease. Intervention and educational
·materials need to be developed for caregiving
families from a multigenerational perspective.

positive caregiving outcomes. Three
themes emerged: (a) companionship-mutually-beneficial activities and
affection; (b) concern and caring-watchfulness and attention to the
partner's well-being and pleasure;
and (c) appreciation and gratitude-satisfaction from pleasing the
partner and recognition of the costs
of caregiving. We specify the
study's limitations and call for
research that measures positive and

questions of limited relevance to family research. Family
research requires a different approach, providing understanding of women's varied and complex experiences.
This is a report of the completed 1st stage of a 3-year
Australian project. Focus group interviews were held, with
10-12 women in each group, and follow-up individual interviews explored women's responses to the groups and issues
raised. 10 group discussions of 4-6 hrs. each) were conducted with researchers participating. The approach provided
large quantities of data on the variety and complexity of women's experiences, their interpretations of symptoms, and
their perception of changes in their bodies and their social
relationships, and of the responses of health professionals.
The most striking features of the accounts were their complexity and historicity. These accounts showed menopause
not as an event but as a process of expectation, learning,
and experiencing, involving transition and identity construction. They emphasized these changes were understood in a
context of societal change - availability of life options
besides reproductions increasing rates of women's workforce
participation, involvement in leisure and work beyond the
home, changing patterns of family formation and
dissolution, changing health of women, ability to talk about
issues of sexuality, reproduction, independence and health.
Results carry implications for method, theory and
policy. The 2nd stage, now underway, directly addresses
policy implications. The project is funded for 3 years by

Kozuch, Patricia

State College, PA 16801
This study hypothesizes
that the degree of parental
conflict will better predict
young adults' attitudes toward
marriage and divorce than parental marital status.
Data comes from a study of
410 white young adults
(18-23), from recently
divorced parents and from
intact homes.
Young adults of divorce
reported more family conflict
in their teens and also hold
less traditional views of
marriage than those from
intact homes. Further analyses
will examine the role of parental conflict in this relationship to test the main
hypothesis of this study.

This paper will present experiences and first
results in developing and using a questionnaire
asessing family-characteristics and functioning
of older families. Our purpose is to identify
group-characteristics that can be linked to both
receiving and giving support within the family.
Based on the questionnaires developed by
Olson and Moos and Moos (these both meant
for research on young families) we formulated
-1-0 items. Our scale consists of 5 subscales: cohesion, expressiveness, trust in organisation,
conl1ict and normative dependency.
As part of a larger study on living arrangements and social networks of elderly people,
150 elderly parents have been interviewed
about their families and family social support.
Our next step will be to send the family characteristics questionnaire to their (in-law) childeren, in order to have intergenerational ratings of the functioning of o~der families.

Analyses are based on a sample of
450 youth, ages 18-23, half of whom
have experienced their parents'

This study reports factors in aspects of the
emotional and coparental relationship that
predict the personal well-being of divorced
parents. Ninety-fwe respondents, with a mean
age of 42 years, were evaluated using the
Personal Well-Being Scale (Campbell, Converse,
& Rodgers, 1976), Masheter's (1988) postdivorce
attachment measure, and Arhron's (1981)
coparenting scales. Utilizing hierarchical multiple
regression procedures, the best predictor of wellbeing was preoccupied attachment.
Other
factors that contributed to personal well-being
were children's age, satisfaction with
coparenting, and conflicted coparenting. Time
since divorce and satisfaction with contact
frequency did not significantly contribute to wellbeing. The findings suggest that researchers
and clinicians should focus on the emotional
tone of the postdivorce couple relationship.

The impact of family
structure on children's homeleaving was explored using
data from the 1988 National
Survey of Families and Households. Exposure to most forms
of nonintact living situations

the strength of effects. Girls
who acquired a stepparent left
home sooner than girls who
remained in a single-parent
family. The opposite effect

STRESS AND ADOLESCENT BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS IN SINGLE PARENT FAMILIES. Jennifer L.
Kerpelman and Joe F. Pittman, Dept. of Fam & ·
Child Dev., Auburn Univ., Auburn, AI 36849.
Single parents of adolescents are good·
candidates for role strain, fulfilling several criteria
for being considered a highly stressed group.
Their family stress is likely linked to rates of
behavior problems among their adolescent
children. Using data from .the National Survey of
Families and Households (Sweet, Bumpass, & .
Call, 1988), we isolated a group of 584 single
parent families with adolescent children. Two·
regression analyses were specified, one
considering the full sample of single parents
(n=582) and a second examining only· those
single parents who were also currently employed
(n=428). Only 15% of the variability in the
number of reported behavior prOblems in our
two samples of single parents was explained ..
However, for both gmups, the Betas reveal that,
the single parent's relationship with the children
is most important; better relationships are
associated with fewer problems.
Parental
confidence, time investments in the parental role,
and a positive relationship with the children
appear to m1n1m1ze behavior problems

The present study was designed to test the
validity of the Circumplex model using a
comparison sample of clinical and nonclinical single parent families. Hypothesis
One proposed that non-clinical families were
more likely than clinical families to report
higher family satisfaction. Findings were
based on responses to the Family Adaptability
and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES Ill) anq
the Family Satisfaction Scale. Respondents

were 90 female single parents
(50=non-clinical; 40=clinical). Results
from the studies support the hypotheses.
As more clinicians begin to consider the
Circumplex model as a useful tool in diagnosing and treating problem families, it is
imperative that further testing of the
model continue in order to provide clinical
utility of the Circumplex model.

Feminist scholars frequently have
noted the costs imposed on women by
economic dependence. Th~se costs are
highlighted by the compelling
evidence of women's post-divorce
economic decline -- a de~line that
may force women and their children
into poverty. This presentation will
synthesize the major research
findings demonstrating women's postdivorce economic decline, and depict
the three basic factors identified as
leading to the decline's persistent
and often devastating nature: 1) a
society that limits women's earning
potential; 2) a legal system that
reinforces and increases gender
inequities; and 3) failure of public
assistance programs to facilitate
divorced women's transition from
dependence to autonomy.

RESPONDING TO WELFARE: SINGLE MOTHERS IN A CANADIAN CONTEXT. Carolynne Gorlick, Soc. Wk; Alan Pomfret,
Soc., King's Col., U. of West. ON, London, Canada N6A 2M3.
Drawing on the general research literature on personality
& social structure, this paper describes & offers an explanation
of the varied responses to poverty by a sample of single mothers. Taking a stress & coping perspective complemented by
learning theory allows for ·the inclusion of a wider range of
personality & outcome variables than is usually found in this
research approach.
The sample consists of 160 single mothers on social assistance & 160 employed single mothers. 126 of the social assistance parents were interviewed twice, approximately 1 year
apart. Some of these women had been married & middle class;
others have always been poor and single.
The focus is on the varied responses to poverty of the social
assistance mothers, especially their subjective identification of
stressors from among a range of objective conditions or strains.
The effects of the relatively more helpful responses to ~
uation (i.e., social support, exit strategies) are examined along
with the more negative aspects. The main stress & coping outcome variables are general health & well being, mental as well
as physical. Moreover, given recent arguments for expanding
the range of outcomes examined in these kinds of studies (e.g.,
Kohn, 1990; Miller, 1988) some general cognitive orientations &
psychological states, especially self-esteem & coping techniques,
will be included & interpreted as outcomes rather than conditioning variables from the perspective oflearning theory. The
paper includes discussion of some of the more interesting methodological & conceptual issues associated with this approach.
The overall aim is to better understand the sources & outcomes of the varied responses these women have to their situation. Consequently, the paper concludes with a delineation
of how this knowledge can be used in assessing current policies
and programs as well as formulating more effective ones.

Qf Trondhe1rn, Trondheirn, Nonvay.
Even though the stepfarnily is not a new
phenomenon, this family form does not
have any model for how it is supposed to
be. When a stepfarnily is established, the
sole available model in our societies is the
one of the nuclear family.
In this study of stepfamilies I have found
that there are at least three patterns of
behavior within the realm of the
stepfamily. One pattern is a reconstruction
which is to copy the structure of the
nuclear family. In the second pattern the
couples want to try various sorts of
behavior in order to explore what fits
them. The third pattern is innovation. The
couples want to construct a new family
form.
The results presented come from a

and those from stepmother families
reported greater ambiguity of the

INTIMACY. Gold, Joshua.
The resolution of economic remarr.

This resolution reflects the rel.

We tested the hypothesis that exspousal differentiation is related
to stepfamily marital intimacy.
Volunteer couples from the Stepfamily
Association of America (n=150)

Ex-Spouses After Divorce" inventory
to assess ex-spousal differentiation
and the PAIR inventory to measure
marital intimacy. A significant pos
relationship between the variables
was found. Significant main/interac
effects for residence of children &
birth of a mutual child, but not for
family configuration or length of
time married, on the dependent meas.

STEPFAMILY-STEPCHILD IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT:
A COMMUNICATION PERSPECTIVE.
Kathleen M. Galvin and Pamela Cooper, Communication
Studies Dept., Northwestern Univ., Evanston, IL 60208
Based on the premise that stepfamily subgroup
relationships are often not-so-freely chosen, we
investigated the constitutive and management functions
of communication in developing stepparent-stepchild
relationships.
A questionnaire focusing on
communication strategies, language usage and explicit
metacommunication was constructed. Thirty stepparents
and fifty stepchildren completed the questionnaire.
Twenty respondents agreed to interviews.
Results of data analysis indicated initial
communication between stepparents and stepchildren
involved few topics, avoidance of problem areas, and few
statements of personal needs. Developed relationships
were characterized by spending more time together,
direct statements of affection, higher self disclosure and
a wider range of topics discussed. Positive changes were
attributed to maturation, development of personal
history and changes in personal feelings. Familial
reference and forms of address underwent change as
relationships developed.
Little explicit
metacommunication or direct discussion of the stepchildstepparent relationship took place. We suggest ways
such findings relate to stepparent--stepchild identity
development and contribute to an understanding of
stepfamily communication.

adolescents enrolled in basic studies courses in a
Southeastern university completed questionnaires including demographic information, Parent Attachment
Scale (PAS), and adaptation of Hazan and Shaver's
Attachment Style Measure. From the completed questionnaires, 75 stepfamily subjects were purpo~ively
selected and compared with 75 randomly selected mtact
family subjects. The data were analyzed using stepwise
multiple regression.
For stepfamilies, quality of
attachment to mothers was predicted only by the
warmth/affection subscale (R2 = .42), and by consistency
and comfort subscales (R2 = .53) for fathers. Quality of
attachment to stepparents was predicted by separation
protestlsecure base and reciproci~y subscales (R2. = .65).
Predictors in intact families vaned from those m stepfamilies, warmth/affection and comfort predicting
attachment to fathers (R2 = .38) and for mothers,
comfort (R2 = .23) accounting for the differences in
adolescent quality of attachment.

TTIE TEAM APPROACH TO PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT AND EFFECTIVE TEACHING.
Tammy H. Scheidegger, Janice Fulmer,
Family Relations & Human Development
Ohio State Univ., Columbus, OH 4321Q
The team approach often used to
train and supervise individuals in
the helping profession is a viable
tool that can be used to facilitate
the individual growth of those who
work as educators. The team
approach focuses on colleagues
using the guidance of one another
in an organized manner to lead
discussion about appropriate and
effective ways in which they may
use their knowledge base to educate
and help others. By using the
techniques of positive feedback and
questioning, team members help e~ch
other illicit suggestions regard1ng
alternative approaches to old
dilemmas. This nonthreatening
approach builds an individual's
confidence without questioning
their own competence as professionals.

Findings will be integrated to further theoretical development of how
social cognitive processes are related to stepfamily adjustment.
Cohesion and adaptability, two of the three
salient dimensions of the Circumplex model,
have been hypothesized to be curvilinearily
related to family health and functioning.
Empirical support for this hypothesis, however,
has been mixed. Therefore, is it the Circumplex
model that must be modified; or does the latest
FACES instrument, FACES Ill, not tap the
curvilinear aspects of family cohesion and
adaptability, or should both model and
instrument be refined? The purpose of this
symposium is.· to offer answers to these
significant questions. Evaluations of FACES Ill
and research leading to the development of
FACES IV will be discussed.
In addition,
directions for future clinical and research
applications of the Circumplex model and the
FACES instruments will be suggested.

The Family Support Act of 1988 was planned
as welfare refonn, aimed centrally at job training
and employment of AFDC parents, child care
services for their children, and enforced child
support of absent parents. This federal-state-local
program was to go into operation by October, 1990.
Its actual implementation at state and local levels
faces many barriers, including shortage of funds,
high rates of unemployment, inadequate child care
resources, learning and skill deficits of many
recipients, and so on. States vary in their
successes and problems, as will be discussed.

Little is known about the means
by which alcoholic families
negatively influence children's
development nor whether these
influences are transient or last
into adulthood. The symposium
discusses results from three studies
of relatively large (Nm200-699) nonclinical samples that examine the
relationship between specific family
characteristics or parenting
practices and child mental health.
These family/parenting variables
distinguish between alcoholic
families whose children are at high
risk of developing problems and
thosa whose children are at low
risk. The results have implications
for family interventions with
alcoholic families targeting the
welfare o£ the children.

Having children at home may be related to less overall happiness for
Hhites. This research shows the relationship between numbers of children and overall global happiness for
a national probability subsample of
234 African American husbands and
292 wives. Children are placed in
three age cohorts: newborn-S years,
6-12 years, and 13-17 years. Several
relevant control variables also are
included. We find that while numbers of children in the categories
6-12 years and 13-17 years are significantly and negatively related to
global happiness for both husbands
and wives in zero-order correlation,
significance is lost in the multiple
regression. Instead, number of children newborn-S years becomes significantly and positively related to
global happiness for wives.

The Symposium "Paters, Profiles, and

to religious families. The symposium focuses
on a descriptive analysis of fathering styles
taken from a national sample of over 2000
fathers from religiously oriented backgrounds.
Research from this survey has been conducted
which provides a detailed analysis of a fathering
model. Fathering issues are addressed with
special emphasis being placed on fathers from
religious, Afro-american,
and poverty
backgrounds. A secondary purpose of the
symposium involves reporting the effects of
religious variables in the development of a
fathering model. Specific attention will be given
to the relationship of certain religious variables
to family satisfaction. It will be argued that
spirituality is a significant component of
successful fathers in religious families. The final
goal of the symposium is to provide detailed
accounts of the application of the model and its'
companion curriculum with fathers of black
families.

GENERAL SATISFACTION AMONG AFRICAN AMERICANS: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HEALTH AND

Parish, Eddie William, App.
Hum. Eco1., Abilene Christian Univ.,
Abilene, TX.
There have been several studies
predicting 1i fe & family satisfaction
among African Americans, but none have
analyzed a measure of general sat:i sfaction.
Ut:i J izing a national representative sample of African Americans,
predictors of genera] satisfaction were
calculated. Data gathered from General
Social Surveys' NORC data were analyzed
from 1972-1989. The data were grouped
into 2 periods from 1972-1982 (n=1893) &
1983-1989 (n=1558) which allowed comparison across time for any significant
change. FoJlowing a factor analyses of
5 questions relating to satisfaction, a
measure of general satisfaction was derived.
Stepwise reg~ession analyses
were performed which allowed ~he variable that expJa.ins the most to be
entered first. For Group 1 the loadings
were hea] th, family income, and age,
while for Group 2 the loadings were
health, fam.i]y income, educat.ion, and
age. There were no significant changes
across t.ime. The interaction of poverty

and

are

Ove~ 1 in 3 households included kin ·
and/or boarders at both time points.
Wives and offspring were important
sources of supplemental income; however, during the Depression offspring's employment declined and employed wives were less likely to
work throughout the year. Loglinear

test hypotheses & to explain & explore variances in self-esteem development. This study found that
there is no significant difference
between family structure, single
mother status & the self-esteem of
their sons. In all marital statuses self-esteem scores for mother
& son had little variation. For the
mothers & sons both the self-esteem
scores range from average to high.

We compared the nutritional status
of three elderly, low-income groups:
whites (n=75), blacks (n=SO), and
Choctaw Indians (n=26). The database
emanated from an AoA Grant fl 90AR0073.
Black women were significantly heavier
than white or Choctaw women; both black
men and women had higher blood pressure
than their counterparts. Women from
all ethnic groups consumed a similar
amount of nutrients, but dietary intake
of men varied in practically all
nutrients. Choctaw men and women had
higher blood glucose but lower
.cholesterol than did other ethnic
groups. Blood cholesterol was similar
in blacks and whites, but blacks had
lower triglyceride levels. We conclude
that the nutritional status of elderly
minoritypopulationsdifferandfurther
examination of data are needed to

ETHNICITY, GENDER, AND THE GRIEF
RESPONSE. Kevin Ann Oltjenbruns, Dept. of
HDFS, CO State Univ., Ft. Collins 80523
Family counselors and other support persons
need to be sensitive to the variability of grief
reactions possible among various clientele groups.
Although there is much research focusing on
Anglos' grief, there is essentially none that
examines grief reactions of ethnic minorities. This
study compared responses of 39 Mexican American
college students with those of 61 Anglo college
students on the Grief Experience Inventory.
Subjects must have experienced, within the prior 2
years, the death of an individual that they
regarded as "very close." The Mexican American
sample had significantly higher scores on 2 scales:
Loss of Control and Somatization.
Significant gender-related differences were
found on 4 scales: Loss of Control, Rumination,
Depersonalization and Social Desirability, with
females having the higher scores. Although there
are many commonalities in grief reactions of
various groups, practitioners should refrain from
the assumption that all clientele populations would
benefit similarly from a particular intervention
strategy.

APPLICABILITY OF FAMILY RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT THEORY IN TH~ THAI
CULTURE. Catherine A. Solheim, Family and
Child Development, Auburn University, AL
36849.
Characteristics of the Thai culture raise
.questions as to the applicability of Westernbased family resource management concepts to
Thai families. Analysis of these concepts using
Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck's value-orientation
framework reveals underlying assumptions
rooted in Western thinking: control over the
environment, a linear view of time, a future
orientation, an individualistic emphasis in
relationships, and the importance of
accomplishments. Family resource management
concepts of choice, decision-making, goal
setting, and planning are well-suited to this
Western view of the world.
In contrast,
traditional Thai culture exhibits harmony with the
enwonment, a circular view of time, a present
orientation, a group emphasis in relationships,
and the importance of self-development. In the
Thai culture, the assumptions underlying family
resource management theory are not fulfilled
and its applicability is called into question.

and the Family, University of NELincoln, Lincoln, NE 68583.
Data was recently
collected from 72 married
individuals who were separated from spouses due to
government policies. 50% of
sample said marriage was
unaffected, 25% deteriorated
and 25% improved separation.
Some personal benefits were
noted such as more personal
time. When reunited, about 2
times per year, couples
enjoyed sex, eating together,
visiting & relatives. Many
worried about the effects on
the children.

Zheng, Zheng Fu Ming, Guangzhou, China·
Research was carried out to determine differences in self-concept between only & sibling children in the
People's Rep. of China. There were
555 sibling children & 360 only children included in the sample. The
children were in the 6th grade of 3 ,
urban schools & 3 rural schools. Peer
perceptions & teacher perceptions wer~
also collected using sociometric measures. Self-concept was determined
by the Self-Perception Profile for
Children. Comparisons of sibling
children & only children showed no
difference on self-concept. Important
factors, however, were an urban or
rural location of residence withurban
residents having higher self-concept
scores. Boys received higher scores
than girls. No significant interaction affects between sibling status,
gender & residence were found. The
results indicate that sibling status
is not an important factor in the selfconcept of Chinese children. The results are important relative to China's
one-child per family policy.
We conducted a qualitative study of
generational issues in New Zealand
farming families. including the
circumstances under which a family
successor is chosen. A grounded
methodology was used to generate a sample
of farm men and women in the 'retiring'
and 'receiving' generation. Findings from
the study lead to the development of a model
of family succession which includes 5
phases: watching for interest. determining
eligibility, eliminating ineligibles, placing
the successor, letting go.
Hypotheses concerning choice of the
successor were: children lmow who will be
the family successor before parents lmow;
girls are not considered as successors if
there are boys in the family; in an all-girl
family, girls who marry 'farmers' are more
likely to be chosen as successors: perceived
ability of the farm to support a successor
influences whether a successor is chosen;
males who show more interest and farming
ability will more likely be chosen as
successors, regardless ofbirth order.

ABORTION Al\TD WQI\1EN' S STATUS. Shehan,
Constance, Dept. of Sociology,-uniV7
of Florida, Gainesville, FL 37611.
Twentieth century changes in Eastern European
·policies regarding abortion and contraceptive are
examined in their socio-economic and political
context. Consequences of these policies, in terms
of the incidence of abortion, use of
contraception, and the total fertility rate are
summarized. Links between fertility and several
indicators of ~~omen's socioeconomic status are
outlined. The data base draws from a number of
published documents, including UN and ILO
reports.
The liberalization of abortion policies in the
1950s contributed to a pronounced decline in
birthrates. The number of abortions greatly
exceeded live births in the following decade.
Fears of population decline lead to governmental
attempts to restrict the rates of abortion in the
1970s. Pronatalist policies were
institutionalized, some of which tvere very
repressive toward women. The now well-publicized
case of Rumania is illustrative in this regard.
The gap between official policy on women's status
and women's reality remains large.

A CROSS-CULTURAL COMPARISON ON ATTITUDES TOWARD LOVE. Raquel ContrerasRamos and Susan S. Hendrick, Counseling Center & Dept. of Psychology;
Texas Tech U., Lubbock, TX 79409.
Changing U.S. demographics mandate
increasing research with Hispanic
subjects, particularly as it illuminates relationship and family issues.
The current study assessed 118 Mexican-American and 65 Anglo persons on
several measures. These included a
background 'inventory, Spanier's Dyadic Adjustment Scale, a brief relationship satisfaction scale, and a
measure of 6 orientations toward love
(Eros, Ludus, Storge, Pragma, Mania,
Agape). Mexican-American subjects
were also assessed for acculturation
level. Correlational and ANOVA
techniques were used. Results indicated cultural similarities (e.g.,
passionate love and adjustment were.
correlated for all 3 groups) and
several differences (notably on gameplaying love).
Implications for
continuing cross-cultural research on
close relationships are discussed.

DIMENSIONS OF MARITAL WELL-BEING
AFTER THREE YEARS OF MARRIAGE.
Susan
Crohan, Dept. of Child & Fam. Stud.,
Univ. of WI, Madison, WI 53706.
Joseph Veroff, Dept. of Psych., Univ.
of MI, Ann Arbor, MI 48109.
In an earlier study, four
dimensions of marital well-being
among white and black newlyweds were
found using factor analysis:
happiness, equity, control, and
competence.
The present study
explored whether these four
dimensions were retained three years
after marriage. A sample of 282
couples (149 white, 133 black), who
applied for marriage licenses in the
Spring of 1986 in Wayne County, MI,
were surveyed 5 to 8 months after
marriage and within the third year of
marriage. Results suggest that the
underlying dimensions of marital
well-being are stable over time;
factor analyses revealed the same
four factors in the third year of
marriage.

Stillwater, OK 74078.
This study explores the relationship among variables related to marital quality at four stages in the
juration of a marriage:
two to seven
rears, seven to 15 years, 15 to 25
years, and 25 years or more.
Nine
hundred twenty couples have been
identified from 600 locations across
the U.S. The subjects completed the
Enriching and Nurturing Relationship
Issues, Communication and Happiness
(ENRICH) inventory. Multiple regression and path analysis were performed
on the data with marital satisfaction
the dependent variable. All var·
iables assessed by ENRICH were included in the model to enable a comprehensive asses~ment of covariation
among several factors and satisfaction.
Tables demonstrate the presence of several interesting trends
due to marital duration.

MARRIAGE, CHILDREN, AND OCCUPATIONAL
ATTAINMENT AMONG AFRICAN AMERICANS.
Airsman, Linda A. and Ball, Richard
E.
Dept. of Social Sciences, Ferris
St. Univo, Big Rapids, MI 49307.
Occupational attainment studies
have neglected African Americans, but
research on whites has shown that the
attainment of both men and women is
influenced by marriage and children.
Our study uses a national subsample
of 1055 black men and 1534 black
women to determine the relationship
of ever -having married and number of
children ever born to the Duncan SEI
score of current or most recent occupation. Several additional and pos~
sibly confounding variables also are
included.
For women, having married
is associated with higher occupational attainment, while number of
children is negatively related. For
men, however, a different picture
emerges. With controls, neither
marriage nor number of children is
significantly related to occupational
attainment.

State University, Ames, IA 50011.
This paper reports the results of
a pilot study of marital interaction
processes and patterns among newlyweds. The sample consisted of
couples who participated in a prevention program designed to help
newlyweds develop healthy interaction
patterns and success initial adjustments to marriage.
Marital quality was measured by
the Spanier Dyadic Adjustment Scale.
Couples were also interviewed and
evaluated by trained therapists and
by an ethnographer. Information fro~
both the clinical and ethnographic
interviews is being used to make
modifications in therapeutic style
and approach as well as modify program content and process for the
Newlywed Group.
Sciences Dept., Brigham Young
University, Provo, UT 84602.
'Ihis study tested the concept from
intergenerational theories that
level of emotional health in both
spouse's families of origin
influences marital adjustment. A
random sample of 261 couples
completed the Dyadic Adjustment
Scale (DAS) and the Family-of-origin
Scale (FOS). Couples were then
categorized into nine types based on
the level of emotional health (highmedirnn-low) in the respective
family-of-origin of each partner.
Results from planned orthogonal
contrasts showed that emotional
health in the family of origin of
spouses does affect their marital
adjustment. Wives' marital
adjustment depended on the level of
emotional health in their own
families whereas husbands' marital
adjustment was influenced not only
by their own family-of-origin health
but also by their wives 1 •

WORK-RE1A1ED StRESSOR~ AND MARITAL
QUALITY AMONG PASTORS AND SPOUSES.
Sandra M. Overstreet and Stephe~ I:_
Duncan,-oept. of FCD, Auburn Un1v.,
AL 36849.
The influence of pastoral workrelated stressors on p~storal marriages has not been systematically
researched. Using a random sample
of 72 Church of God pastors and
their spouses, we tested the hypothesis that certain stressors would
be associated with lower marital
quality, as measured by the Dyadic
Adjustment Scale (DAS). For both
pastors and spouses, lower marital
quality was related to a lack o~
meeting congregational.expecta~1ons
and work interfering w1th marr1age.
Regression analysis sh~wed that only
the perception of meet1ng congregational expectations for ~ p~s~oral
marriage accounted for s7gn1f1cant
variance in marital gual1ty among
pastors and spouses (22% & ~% respectively). Ideas for help1ng
pastors and spouses clarify and
manage expectations are offered.

COMPARING THE RELATIVE EFFECTS OF
EMOTIONAL AND HOUSEHOLD LABOR ON
PERCEIVED MARITAL WELL-BEING.
Erickson, Rebecca J. The University
of Akron, Akron, Ohio 44325-1905
This study examines the relative
effects of both the emotional and
household divisions of labor on
perceived marital well-being. Data
were collected from married men and
women from a mid-sized city in the
Pacific NW. Using OLS reg., it was
found that wife's level of emotional
support was a much better indicator
of husband's marital well-being than
the amt of household tasks performed~
accounting for 30% of the variance
as compared to 2%. Husband's level
of emotional support accounted for
41% of the variance in wiv.e's marital
well-being, compared to amt of
husband's household labor which
accounted for less than 1% of the
variance. These results suggest that
the emotional division of labor is
an important indicator of marital
well-being, and as such, deserves
more empirical attention.

FAMILY LIFE- SATISFACTION, RELIGIOUS
ORTHODOXY, AND BOUNDARY MAINTENANCE
IN CLERGY FAMILIES. J. Elizabeth
Norrell, Erskine College, Due West,
sc 29639.
The purpose of this study was
to test a theoretical model for the
study of structure and satisfaction
in the clergy family. A sample of
70 United Methodist clergy families
were surveyed, with separate questionnaires for each clergy, spouse,
and adolescent. Variables included
family life satisfaction, isolation,
marital or family problems, satisfaction with support systems, provided by the UMC Conference as well
as perception of parsonage living.
Additionally, the degree of boundary maintenance and religiousity
was assessed.
Family members' satisfaction
with family life was influenced
negatively by a high level of religiousity, while the influence of
boundaries varied among the family
members.

Previous research shows decreases
since 1972 in the personal happiness
of married women. This study employs
General Social Survey data, aggregated by year, to examine potential
causes of this decrease. Marital
happiness is modeled as an intervening variable. The data show a corresponding decrease in marital happiness over this time period, and a
decrease in the relation between
marital and personal happiness. Controlling for marital happiness
eliminates the relation between year
and personal happiness among married
women. Potential causes of declining marital and personal happiness
are explored, including changes in
employment status and marital role
expectations and the increasing
prevalence of remarriage following
divorce.

Jay A. Mancini, Rosemary Blieszner,
Dept. of Family and Child Development, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA
24061-0416.
The impact that relationships
have on an individual and on a
family is explored. The framework
for this analysis is Weiss' social
provisions approach, which includes
the relationship functions of
attachment,social integration,
reliable alliance,guidance,reassurance of worth,opportunity for nurturance. This social provisions
framework is discussed in regard to
developmental, interactional, and
exchange theories, noting similarities and differences. Strengths
and weaknesses are elaborated.
The application of the social
provisions framework to parentchild, couple, and whole-family
research is demonstrated.

THE EFFECTS OF SELF-DISCLOSURE GIVEN

SATISFACTION IN DATING RELATIONSHIPS
AND FRIENDSHIPS.
Donna Sollie, Leanne
Lamke, Jacki Fitzpatrick, and Robin Durbin,
Auburn University, Family and Child
Development, Auburn, AL 36849.
The relationship of self-disclosure given and
self-disclosure received on satisfaction, loving,
and liking was examined in four types of
relationships --dating partners (n=129), male
friends (n=39), female friends (n= 117), and
opposite-sex friends (n=74). College student
dyads completed Rubin's Loving and Liking
Scale, Hendrick's Relationship Satisfaction Scale,
and Miller, Berg and Archer's Self-Disclosure
Index. For all types of relationships, there was
evidence of actual and perceived reciprocity.
Own disclosure and partner disclosure were
correlated with relationship satisfaction, liking,
and loving for romantic partners, and with
satisfaction and love in friendship pairs. These
findings are noteworthy in that the results were
relatively consistent across all relationship types.
Furthermore, not only is actual self-disclosure
related to relationship quality, self-disclosure
seems to work in a theoretically predicted
manner within relationships.

THE IMPACT OF CLOSETING ON LESBIAN
COUPLE RELATIONSHIPS. Marjorie H.
Ulin, Sandra L. Caron, Sch. of Human
Dev.,Univ.of Maine, Orono, ME 04469
Questionnaire data collected from
124 lesbians was used to compare measures of relationship commitment,
love, conflict, ambivalence, and couple maintenance with degree of closeting. This research addressed closeting as a multidimensional variable.
Results indicate that significant associations exist between closeting
and relationship dynamics. Family,
and particularly mothers, appear to
have the most diverse impact on lesbians' relationships. Mothers' inclusion of their daughters' partners at
social events predicted relationship
variables most highly. Closeting in
all sectors was associated with conflict and ambivalence. Conclusions
suggest that further research examine
dynamics between mothers and lesbian
daughters. Recommendations are offered for clinicians working to support
positive relations between lesbians
and their family and friends.
THE ENGAGED AND MARRIED: DIFFERENCES IN
RELATIONSHIP CHARACTERISTICS. Nancy Kingsbury,
Linda Stevens, Family Studies, Univ. of Man., Winnipeg,
Man., Canada.
We compared engaged & married individuals for
differences on relationship characteristics based on
Levinger's model of relationship states. A random sample
(N=77) of men (N=29) & women (N=48) from a Canadian
university completed mailed questionnaires (79% return
rate). Scales used to measure relationship characteristics
were: PAIR Intimacy Scale (Shaefer & Olson), Rubin Love
Scale, Self-Disclosure Scale (Jourard), Dyadic Adjustment
Scale (Spanier), & Conflict Tactics Scale (Strauss).
Relationship characteristics variables were entered
into a discriminant analysis to determine whether
distinctions could be made between the engaged & married
groups. Results of the step-wise procedure indicated that
the percentage of group cases that could be correctly
classified was 87%. Five characteristics met the entry
criteria! level. Married individuals expressed: (a) higher
perceived social intimacy, (b) lower expectations for social &
recreational intimacy, & (c) greater use of verbal aggression
& violence in conflict tactics than engaged individuals. No
sex differences were found on relationship characteristics.
Married & engaged subjects were similar on love,
relationship satisfaction, self-disclosure, and several types
of intimacy. Individuals in each group planned to continue
either towards commitment to marriage or marriage maintenance. These results provide additional information about
the differences & similarities of these 2 relationship states.
Results were discussed in terms of exchange theory.

AGE HETEROGAMY IN MARRIAGE: SYNTHESIS AND
ASSESSMENT. Felix H. Berardo, Jeffrey Appel, and

Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611.
Studies of age dissimilar marriages (ADH) were
analyzed in terms of theoretical perspectives,
methodologies, samples, data, hypotheses,
findings, and conclusions. Research on ADM has
increased over time. Greater use of large data
sets and secondary analyses is evident. Field
investigations of age-discrepant couples are
rare. Most studies are atheoretical, descriptive,
and lack explicit hypotheses. Varied and
arbitrary definitions of ADM, as well as weak
methodological and theoretical orientations are
an impediment to generalizations. Hm~ever, recent
research has begun to overcome these deficits.
Among the more consistent findings: ADM increases
with age and with remarriages; older man-younger
woman remains the most prevalent form; non~1hites
exhibit higher probabilities of ADM; such unions
are most prevalent among lot~er socioeconomic
groups; age differences affect gender mortality.·
Contrary to conventional wisdom ADH appear to be
more like than different from coeval marriages.

Chadwick, Bruce A., Center for Studies of the Family,
940 SWKT, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah,
84602
Most studies of religious differences in family
formation have relied on very broad categories of
religious affiliation. Because the average differences
between Catholics and Protestants is not large, studies
generally show little religious effect
National
probability samples do not include large enough
samples of smaller groups to analyze them separately.
This analysis combines three major surveys (the 1982
and 1988 cycles of the National Survey of Family
Growth, and the 1987 National Survey of Families and
Households) in order to focus on smaller religious
groups. These groups are compared in terms of age
at first sexual intercourse, age at first marriage, age at
first birth, children ever born, total expected family size,
and marital stability. Although the major religious
groups (Catholics and mainline Protestants) are similar,
smaller religious groups reveal much more variability in
patterns of family formation. Controls for group
composition (social class and ethnicity) reduce, but do
not eliminate religious group differences. These
differences suggest thai smaller religious groups may
provide an institutionaJ setting for families that do not
necessarily fit the dominant patterns of family
formation.

to place each dyad into a high or low
socio-economic
status
category,
according to maternal education. High
SES mothers used more moderate power
and relevant responses than those of
low SES. Mothers and sons were found
to be similar in their selection of
problem-solving strategies.
Mothers'
and children's problem-solving related
to their interactions in low SES
families, but not in high.
These

Much previous :research on families in poverty
has focused on demographic variables .such as race,
educational attainment, marital status and age, overlooking more biographic data. This. analyses uses
multiple regression to test a predictive model of
parental acceptance-rejection (PARQ) which includes
parental satisfaction, and number of children, in addition to the above variables. In the present study,
mothers (N=200) who were enrolled in the Women,
Infants, and Children Program (WIC) in nual Montana
and urban Long Beach, CA filled out questionnaires
assessing their parenting strategies, personal efficacy,
satisfaction, and P ARQ of their child: As hypothesized,
only parental satisfaction and number of children were
significant in the model. Results support the. thesis
that structural and demographic variables of low income families may be less influential in parenting than
are more biographic variables. Service providers for
this target group may use such information to refocus
their efforts.

Hum. Ecology, Un1v. of Texas, Austin,
TX 78712.
This study examined the extent to
which: (1) Spouse~· leisure behavior
was consistent with their leisure
preferences; and (2) spouses engaged
in leisure activities together versus
apart, across the transition to parenthood. Longitudinal leisure preference and participation data were col·
lected from 23 couples who did, and
46 couples who did not, become parents during their second year of rna~
ri age.
Results revealed: (1) No significant difference between new parents
and non-parents in the duration of
companionship in activities which
both partners liked; and (2) that
new mothers spent more time in their
preferred activities without their
husbands than they had prior to parenthood, while the reverse was true
for new fathers.
LETTING GO BY ADULTS AND THEIR
PARENTS: THE EFFECT OF LIFE CYCLE
STAGE. David de Vaus, Dept. of Sociol
La Trobe Uni, Bundoora, Vic. Aust.
The approach that attributes the
character of relationships between
adults and their parents to life
cycle stage is questioned. Rather
than life stage influencing the charac~er of relationships it is the
character that provides the context
in which life stage transitions are
experienced and mediated. Based on
data about -1'90 relationships between
adults and their parents in Australia
a fourfold typology is developed in
which relationships are classified
according to whether parents and
adult children have let go of one
another. It is shown that, despite
superficial changes, life cycle transitions do not affect the character
of the relationships. The experience
of each life cycle stage depended on
the type of relationship adults and
parents brought to that stage.

The present study is an exploratory exam. of fathers' att,

which may influence fathers'
acceptance and feelings were
investigated. These include his
self-esteem,social desirability
axpereince w/ other homosexuals
attitude toward homosexuality
~eligiosity, age, marital status
!nd SES.
The sample (N=l55) comes
from a larger study examining
che relationship b/w parents &
their homosexual children. This
;tudy provides data for Family
rherapists & researchers who
!ddress problematic family
relationships because of a
~hilds' homosexuality.
While agreement between parents on
child rearing orientations has long been
a staple of the parent-child literature,
empirical work on this topic has only
recently begun to emerge. In this study,
inconsistencies in the literature were
addressed using data from a four-year
study of 136 families.
First, the
specific nature of the relation between
agreement and stereotype agreement was
explored, with continuities examined.
Results indicated,
(a)
significantly
higher means for stereotype agreement at
all four years, and (b) a developmental
effect
for
true
agreement
but
a
methodological effect for stereotype
agreement.
Second, the effects of
parent and child risk on true and
stereotype agreement were examined. True
agreement
was
unaffected by either
variable.
Stereotype agreement,
in
contrast, was significantly lower when
parental risk was higher. This was found
for both husbands and wives for three of
the four years.

59 parents of preschool children
completed the FACES III and the
Parental Attitude Research Instrument (PARI) to compare family
functioning with parenting
behaviors. Chi square analyses
determined more families were
chaotic and fewer structured than
the 1985 norms would suggest.
Correlations between the FACES
adaptability and the PARI authoritarian subscales (r = -0.36,
p < • 0 5) and the FACES cohesion
and the PARI hostility subscales
(r = -0.28, p < .05) were in the
expected directions, suggesting
a relationship between the concepts of family functioning and
the Maccoby and Martin parenting

DIMENSIONS OF PARENTAL SATISFACTION.
Devall, Esther, New Mexico State Univ
Las Cruces, New Mexico 88001. The
purpose was to examine the relation
between dimensions of parental satisfaction and parental functioning.
One hundred couples completed the
Parent Satisfaction Scale, Child
Rearing Practices Report, Carolina
Family Responsibilities Scale, and CES
Depression Scale. Data were analyzed
using factor analyses and Pearson
correlations. For husbands, satisfaction with own parenting was related
to nurturant childrearing. Satisfaction with wives' parenting was related
to greater satisfaction with own
parenting and greater wife involvement
in child care. For wive~ satisfaction
with own parenting was related to
nurturant childrearing and less depression. Satisfaction with husbands'
parenting was related to greater satisfaction with own parenting, less
restrictive childrearing, greater
husband involvement in child car~ and
less depression. Future studies should
explore both types of satisfaction.

PARENTAL CONFIDENCE AND PLEASURE:
EPHEMERAL AND/OR UNIVERSAL?
Nelson, Patricia Tanner, Cooperative Extension,
University of Delaware, 19717-1303
This paper focuses on pre-test questionnaires
of a two-year, five state study. In analyzing
data obtained from interviews with 21 91
parents, preliminary analysis indicates that lowincome parents' age, marital status, and
knowledge about child development do not
seem to be associated with their feelings of
parenting confidence and pleasure.
Enjoying being a parent, and/or feeling well
prepared, capable and successful as a parent
were not associated with demographic or
knowledge factors may be feelings are well
distributed among low-income parents. Those
who found it harder to parent than expected
appeared to have progressive views about child
growth and development. It is possible that
these parents have higher standards than
others.

OF MALES AND FEMALES: IMPLICATIONS FOR FAMILY LIFE EDUCATORS.
Lynda Henley Walters, Nancy Hallett-Wright, and
Varga Beare, Dept. of Child & Fam. Dev., U. of
Georgia, Athens, GA 30602.
The fact that males tend to score higher on the
effica<;:y dimension and females score higher on the
worth dimension of self-esteem has been attributed to
differential socialization of sons and daughters by
mothers and fathers. We investigated self-esteem and
sex-role orientation in a sample of male (n=229) and
female (n=229) students in an introductory psychology class. An instrument designed by Gecas to measure the efficacy and worth dimensions of self-esteem
and the Bern Sex-Role Inventory were used. Differences between males and females were small but
significant; males scored higher on efficacy, females
higher on worth. Differences were greater between
sex-role orientations. Androgynous and feminine
persons scored highest on worth; androgynous and
masculine persons scored highest on efficacy. Pattefl)
of mean scores by sex-role orientation was nearly the
same for males and females for both efficacy and
worth. We concluded that differences in self-esteem
may be a function of sex-role orientation.
Suggestions are made for enhancing develoment of
masculine and feminine characteristics in children for
the purpose of promoting overall self-esteem.

MOTHERS' ATTITUDES TOWARD PHYSICAL
DISCIPLINE OF YOUNG CHILDREN:
IMPLICATIONS FOR PARENT EDUCATION
Cudaback, Dorothea, University of California,
Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, 94720.
This paper presents findings from a
study of 203 couples interviewed
after their first visit to a treatment clinic and again two yrs. later.
It compares males, females & couples
responses re: advantages of having
children; change in desire to have
child over time; biologjcal parenthood versus parenting; impact of
children on men's verses women's
lives; importance of parenting
versus other things; and women's
desire to experience childbirth.
The impact of age, education; time
attempting to conceive, religion,
and other factors is examined. Findings are compared to Hoffman's &
Manis (1979) study of while, black
and Hispanic American's views of the
value of children. The implication
for identity and reality reconstruction is cons1dered.
We looked at the relationship between belief in
physical punbhment and personal/situational
characteristics of 609 mostly low income women who
were pregnant or parenting young children. Belief
in physical discipline was not significantly
related to living arrangement, marital status, or
receipt of public financial assistance. Those with
low educational achievement were significantly
more likely to believe in physical discipline than
other respondents. Ninety-six percent of respondents wanted more parenting information; 44% said
they would a~end parent groups. The most desired
information topic was discipline. Compared to
other respondents, those who believed in physical
discipline reported fewer sources of parenting
information and cited fewer parenting topics on
which they wanted more information. In developing
and delivering parenting information, consider
providing information through parent groups,
include information on discipline, keep oral and
written presentations clear and simple. Extend
parent education programs and materials through
professionals already serving these women.

The Mayor will talk about his views
concerning the role of state and local government
in taking responsibility for families. Building on
the concept of neighborhoods, the Mayor also will

Family Services Department within city
government, and the need for compensatory steps
to offset the loss of blue collar jobs.
Participants will find this symposium useful

The lives of over a half-million American families
have been directly affected by Operation Desert
Storm. Fathers and mothers have been separated
from their children. Many reservists called to duty
left well-paying jobs --- with an uncertain job future
and the prospect of unemployment and poverty
when they return. Some families relocated to
cheaper housing in order to afford to live on
.
military pay. Other families withdrew family savmgs
to maintain their family. All these families face the
uncertainty of a spouse's safety and the trauma of
combat and death. This symposium reviews some of
the most recent research on the effects of military
service on family life. ·We focus on issues of
relocation, combat experience, and minority status
as important factors that affect military families.
We provide a review of the last five years of
research on military families. From this research,
we outline the potential effects of Operation Desert
Storm on military families. We end the symposium

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RESIDENT SERVICES
ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND
MANAGEMENT. Ipek Kursat, Westminster
Res. Serv. Corp., St. Paul, MN 55102.
We demonstrated the effectiveness
of incorporating resident services
coordination and delivery with housing
development, property management, and
community training. The strategy was a
means to empower resident populations
including Eamilies, youth, older
. adults, and persons with special needs.
Residents and communities faced
severe problems due to economic conditions in long term affordable housing
and their income status. Using the
Westmins1:er team strategy many positive
changes have occurred.
We suggest the integrating of
resident services within the

Discussant: Elaine Anderson (Dept. of Fam. &
Commun. Dev., Univ. of MD, College Park, MD
20742).
During the last decade we've clearly seen an
increased awareness of the issue and importance of
family policy. Most notably the presence of fainily
policy discussion appears as the last section of our
research articles where policy implications are now
presented. However, it is interesting to those who
have direct policy experience that these policy
implications in our research articles are often quite
impractical or impossible to implement in real life
policy settings. One possible explanation for
unrealistic policy suggestions may be a lack of
understanding of the policy process and policy
formulation.
Therefore, the purpose of this
symposium is to discuss how to teach a course to
family scholars on family policy. The coordinators
of the symposium were selected because each could
bring a unique perspective about teaching family
policy - the federal policy arena, a state policy
arena, and a rural setting for teaching family
policy. The symposium will provide data about
what to consider in designing a family policy
course.

Changing values, relaxed laws, and
better educational and occupational
opportunities for women have all
contributed to the dramatic increase
in the number of single parent
families.
This
symposium uses
qualitative and quantitative data to
examine
four
aspects
of
single
parenting: single parenting and the
extended family;
the work-family
interface; children's relationships
with non-custodial fathers; and male
partners in single parent families.
Research such as this which looks for
differences between single parent
families, rather than comparing them
to two-parent families, is invaluable
for professionals working to support
such families.

This symposium examines recent
research on intra & extra family influences on work/family roles & processes. This examination is based on a
theoretical recognition that defines
families as parts of wider systems of
economic/political power & recognizes
conflicting interfamily processes (Ferree, 1990). The participants bring a
variety of perspectives, as well as
diverse research approaches. Several
major theoretical approaches are emphasized: economics; stress/coping;
role conflict; & role overflow effects
of occupational conditions. We focus
on how families cope with economic distress, how changing schedules may bring
important discontinuities in family
processes, & how variations in occupational condition affect family interaction. In addition, important gaps 111
the literature will be addressed, as
well as methodological issues in the
study of work-family conflict. The
symposium will provide an opportunity
for participants to identify points of
convergence in their respective
research, in addition to highlighting
the diversity with which families
approach work/family roles.

Societal changes such as deinstitutional iza tion and mainstreaming
have changed the lives of families of
children with disabilities since
Farber's 1959 landmark study of
family integration in families of
children who were severely mentally
retarded. Given these changes, there
is a critical need to know what life
is like now in families of children
with di sa bili ties, including family
stresses, resources, social support,
and functioning. The Early Intervention Research Institute longitudinal
studies provide data on 696 young
children with disabilities and their
families from 16 geographic sites.
Child and

variables and
measures of perceptions of family
functioning, stress, resources, and

WORKSHOP - FAMILY THERAPY WITH LOWINCOME FAMILIES. Kenneth V. Hardy, Marr. &
Fam. Ther. Prog. Dept. of Child & Fam. Stud., 201
Slocum Hall, Syracuse U, Syracuse, NY 13244.
Despite significant advances in family therapy
theory and practice, low-income families still
present major clinical challenges for family
therapists.
Persistent efforts to treat these
families "as if' they were middle class often result
in therapeutic impasses, and constructed realities
about the family's resistance. This workshop will
examine the socio-cultural context of low-income
families, self of the therapist issues, and how these
factors impact the therapeutic process. Strategies
for providing effective treatment will be provided.

symposium was designed to address this research
need. The papers present information from three
separate data sets of family and adolescent
relationships. Each paper focuses on a separate aspect
of family interaction (parental expectations, parental
control, parental/peer/adult support, and marital conflict)
and analyzes the role each factor plays in elucidating
the negative association between low-income and

Tach University, Lubbock, TX 79409)
Recently che link between quality of
parent/adult-child relations and quality Of life
has come under close scrutiny, Aspects of adult
intergenerational family bonds have been
associated with personality and status
inheritance, stress accumulation and reduction,
.life satisfaction and emotional well-being. This
symposium presents four analyses o! data !rom the
U.S.C. Longitudinal Study of Three Generation
Families, examining how adult intergenerational
relationships shape social-psychological states of
family members and serve as conduits of influence
across the synapse of generational boundaries.
Intergenerational issues examined include the
transmission of self-esteem, the renegotiation of
parent-child relations during the child's divorce
process, the association Of latent parent-child
solidarity dimen~ions with mental health, and the
impact of social.support on emotionai well-being
of frail elderly parents. The !our analyses
provide cumulative evidence !or the conclusion
that family bonds influence individual
psychological well-being and social functioning in
adulthood. Though each study addresses a
different substantive issue, together they
demonstrate the multiplicity of contoxts in which
intergenerational relations are important for
support and well-being across various stage~ of
the life-cycle.

same in regard to family phenomena. A third paper will
extend work done previously in developing a theoretical

Simultaneous goals of preserving families
while protecting children from abuse and neglect
challenge social service providers. Cost-efficient
programs that produce effective results within
legally mandated time constraints are essential.
This symposium will focus on the development,
implementation, and evaluation of a system of
services for abused children and their families with
special emphasis on two innovative parent
education programs, one offered to parents in their
own homes and one designed for low-income
parents. In-home services as an alternative to
traditional office-based services and a combination
of the two, such as therapeutic day care, will be
stressed.
Discussion of clinical issues for a
coordinated system of services to address the
complex and varied needs of abusive families will
be offered along with suggestions for the
application of these programs and evaluation
procedures to both rural and urban settings.

This symposium focuses on 2 studies recently
funded by the Alzheimer's Disease and Related
Disorders Association. The first study examined
the predictors of burden in a sample of 298 AD
caregivers. Burden was measured in terms of the
impact of caregiving on financial resources,
emotional well-being, and family/social roles. The
second study collected data on 200 AD caregivers
regarding barriers to family support group
participation. An applied finding of these two
studies is that caregivers are a very heterogeneous
group relative to the impacts of caregiving and
their access to support groups. This heterogeneity
implies that different strategies be developed for
effective formal intervention. The discussant will
examine factors underlying this caregiver
differences and present views on how programs
could be modified and/or initiated to meet the
needs of different groups of individuals caring for
AD patients.

invasive into the home, and focuses more on
technology than previous wars. This symposia
offers a dialogue to address what we have learned
about the needs of families during this war.
Investigations suggest that children experience
confusion and fear about the war and an increase
in therapeutic war play.
Families and
communities experience ambivalence, uncertainty,
mixed feelings and loss of members. Education
and support for families should allow the
expression of fears and validate their often
contradictory feelings. Families of the military are
of special concern. This symposia addresses their
needs, what the military has done, and where the
gaps are in provision of these needs. It explores
the economic and domestic impacts of this war on
programs serving families, raise new questions
about the relationship between war, peace, and
families and considers our response and role as
family professionals.

Multi-informant Data in Family Studies Families.
Discussant: Patricia Voydanoff (Ctr. for Study of
Fam. Dev., Univ. of Dayton, Dayton, OH 45469).
This symposium presents findings from the
Iowa Youth and Families Project, a panel study of
450 rural two-parent families. Employing a social
learning/exchange theoretical perspective, the
papers test models concerning the effect of
economic strain on various dimensions of family
life. The first paper presents data regarding the
impact of economic hardship upon marital quality
and stability. Building upon these findings, the
second paper considers the influence of financial
problems and the marital relationship upon
parenting practices. The third paper analyzes the
extent to which value commitments of family
members are affected by economic difficulties and
the processes identified in the first two papers.
The final paper identifies methodological issues
raised by the first three papers, and discusses
multiple informant methods as a strategy for
studying family processes.

�The National Council on Family Relations honors families with the 1990 Conference.
National Family Week, 1989 and 1990
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
As individuals, we find in our families a sense of identity, purpose, and security. As a Nation, we find in our families the vision
and strength we need to remain a truly free and just society.
A family is more than a group of individuals related by blood, marriage, or adoption - a family is a community of persons united
by their love and their commitment to one another. It is through family life that our Nation's most cherished values and traditions
are passed from one generation to the next. Tirrough our experience as members of a family, we learn important lessons about
love and faith, duty and fidelity, personal responsibility and concern for others. Because those lessons are conveyed to the
community at large, and because the family gives us a model of human relationships after which all other social institutions are
fashioned, the strength and integrity of the family are vital to our well-being as a Nation.
Over the years, the family has withstood every assault upon it. It has endured in societies where rulers have sought to subject
individuals to the collectivism of the state, and it has survived more subtle attempts to distort or belittle its value as an institution.
As one expert on public policy and the family has so eloquently expressed it, "It is as if the family, as the fundamental reality
of human society, is the small but stubborn rock that breaks the ideologues' plow of abstractions about human nature."
While the family is the most resilient and enduring of all human institutions, it needs protection and encouragement. Today, our
Nation is confronted by problems that are, in large part, consequences of the breakdown of the traditional family. Drug abuse,
child abuse, domestic violence, illegitimacy, teen pregnancy, and poverty cost the United States billions of dollars each year in
social programs alone. But the waste in dollars pales before the most tragic loss - the waste of human spirit and potential.
As a Nation, we must remain committed to policies and programs that recognize and reinforce the family as the primary source
of love and support that every individual needs. We must ensure that our families enjoy the benefits of economic opportunity
and political representation, and we must recognize that parents have primary authority in the education of their children.
American families need and deserve a cultural and legal framework that encourages and supports stable marriages and family
life.
In the inimitable shelter of home and family, we learn how to give and receive love. There we discover the inestimable worth
and unalienable rights God has granted each of us; and there we discover the responsibilities we have toward others. Thus, the
integrity of the family is essential to our ability to remain a strong and stable Nation. During National Family Week, we renew
our determination to strengthen and support the American family. Our children's future, and the future of the United States,
depend on it.
The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 117 (Public Law 101-111), has designated the week of November 19 through November
25, 1989, and the week of November 18 through November 24, 1990, as "National Family Week" and has authorized and
requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of these weeks.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the weeks of November
19, 1989, and November 18, 1990, as National Family Week. I invite the Governors of the several States, the chief officials of
local governments, and the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of November, in the year of our Lord · t
hundred and eighty-nine, and of the Independence of the United Stales of America the two hundred and fourt e~n th . rune een

�PLAN NOW FOR FUTURE NCFR CONFERENCES
1991 -November 15-20~ Radisson Hotel
Denver, Colorado
Theme: "Families and Poverty"
Program Vice President
Alexis J. Walker
Oregon State University
Poverty is one of the most pressing social concerns in the world today. Approximately 13.5% of the population in the United
States is in poverty, including 1 or every 5 children. While, on the average, family income has risen in recent years, the number
of people in poverty has risen as well, particularly among African and Hispanic Americans. Additionally, women and children
are more likely to be in poverty than men and adults. By focusing on "families and poverty" the program planning committee
hopes to encourage presentations on research, policy analysis, evaluation, and iimovative programming related to issues such as:
"the connections between divorce and poverty; the government's role; immigration; relation between poverty and health; and
poverty across the lifespan.
The Call for Papers and Application Form is a part of this printed program (see back pages). Additional copies will be placed
in the Conference Registration Packets. Non-members who wish to submit a proposal may write to the Conference Coordinator
at NCFR headquarters for a copy of the form and instructions.
Deadline for Abstract Applications - February 1, 1991
1992 -November 1-5, Clarion Plaza Hotel, Orlando, Florida

�''ARE THOSE KIDS
YOURS?"
STAYING THE COURSE
The Emotional and
Social Lives of Men Who
Do Well at Work
American Families -with
Children Adopted from
Other Countries
RobertS. Weiss, University of Massachusetts
Cheri Register
''An absorbing, moving account of the lives and
loves of successful men, the personal myths that
guide their behavior in the workplace and the expectations and fears that they bring to their relationships with women, children, friends, and
occasionally, lovers. A major connibution to
understanding the strengths and vulnerabilities
of the men who keep our society going.'!'l'!'l
-Judith S. Wallerstein, Ph.D., Center for the
Family in Transition, author of Second Chances:
Men, Women, and Children a Decade After Divorce
The question "Are those kids yours?" has a
familiar ring to parents with adopted children
from South Korea, India, Colombia, and other
countries. In stmies drawn from her own expelience as the mother of two Korean-born
daughters and from interviews with other parents
and with adopted children, Cheri Register both
affinns the normality of internationally adoptive
families and highlights the special challenges they
do indeed face. The book addresses many central
questions about international adoption: why
children are in need of adoption outside the
country of their birth, why parents choose to
adopt from other countries, how parents and
children of different origins become a "real" family, how parents ~xplain the cultural circumstances of their children's births, how
families foster ethnic identity, how they deal with
racism, and how living as a multi-cultural family
affects their view of the world.

Today, more than two-thirds of American
mothers work outside their homes, while their
children are cared for by others, often in environments that compromise their cognitive and
social development. This book is the longawaited definitive anatomy of the American
child-care system-a patchwork construction at
best-that has become increasingly inadequate to
meet the needs of society. Putting what has succeeded and what has failed into broad histmical
perspective, Zigler and Lang explain what
children of different ages-and their familiesneed, and what kinds of child care programs are
necessary in light of current social and economic
realities.

GENERAL INFORMATION

THEM CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOUR
ABSTRACT CAN BE CONSIDERED.
Approximately 13.5% of the population in the United
States is in poverty today, including 1 of every 5
children, making poverty one of our most pressing social
concerns.
While, on the average, family income has risen in
recent years, the number of people In poverty has risen
as well, particularly among African and Hispanic
Americans. Additionally, women and children are more
likely to be in poverty than men and adults.
The theme of "families rill.ll!.d poverty" is a
particularly approp1iate topic for family scholars in the
1 990s. By focusing on "families and poverty" we hope to
encourage the report of research, program evaluation,
policy analysis, and Innovative programming related to
such issues as:

THE IMPACT OF VACATION LENGTH ON MARITAL
QUALI1Y. !&£:!!ill~~!l2.!1l!J4~~~~~~~
PA
We tested a prediction dexived from social exchange
theory that increased interaction time leads to lower
marital quality. A random sample of married women 0:!
= 150) and men (ll = 120] in a theme park ride line in
the SE U.S. completed questionnaires. Marital quality
was measured by the short fonn of the Spanier Dyadic
Adjustment Scale '(HAS), Vacation length was the
number of consecutiv'-' days both respondents and
spouses were off from paid work including the day of
assessment. The data were analyzed with ordinary least
squares regression. After controlling for marriage
duration and number and ages of children, gender and
vacation length predicted a significant portion of the
variance in DAS scores. Vacation length predicted
49.3% and gender 10.4% of the variance in marital
quality. Women and individuals with longer joint
vacations reported lower marital quality than men and
persons with shorter joint vacations. Results support

llii£!~ill!li...£!lli~J54l~~ (Hum. Dev., Moondance
Tucson,
In the past 30 years, wives have increased
participation in the paid labor force such that over 50%
of married women, Including half of all mothers with
infants, are now employed at least part time. This
increase in paid work has been accompanied by a
decrease in the amount of time women spend in unpaid
family work; i.e., housework and child care. It has not,
however, resulted in a concomitant increase In the time
spent by husbands in family work. This symposium
reviews the literature on husbands' participation in
family work paying particular attention to that ~roup of
men who have been responsive to the labor force
participation of their wives. We focus on the unique
characteristics of these men and their wives,
demonstrating that men become major participants in
family work in two ways: (a) a combination of factors
such as shift work and the presence of many preschoolaged children compel the involvement of husbands; and
(b) the feeling among wives that family work should be
shared leads them to inslst that their husbands
participate. We emphasize the willingness of women to
accept the status quo as well as the need for new models
of husbands' family-work participation.
TI1e National Council on Family Relations expresses its thanks to the
Gerontological Society of America for giving penniss!on to use Its Call for
Papers as a model for the 1991 NCFR Call.

�LETTER OF WELCOME TO ATTENDEES AT
NCFR ANNUAL CONFERENCE, 1989
As Program Chairperson, I welcome you to this NCFR Annual Conference. The
program committee, with help from many others, has worked long hours to prepare this
conference, and I sincerely hope that you will find people, information, and contacts here
that are valuable to you.
Brent C. Miller
The core of this NCFR program, as always, consists of literally hundreds of presentations
by your peers. In addition, please take advantage of the plenary sessions, distinguished
lectures, and other special activities.
I realize that there is a lot in New Orleans to distract you from these meetings. Consequently, this year we
deliberately scheduled the sessions to begin a little later in the day, and Tuesday night was left open for competing
attractions. I hope that you enjoy yourselves and benefit from these meetings.
Best Wishes,
Brent C. Miller, Program Vice President
INTRODUCTION TO NCFR PROGRAM
Welcome to the 51st Amllll!all NCFR Cmrnfennce!
We want to make this an exciting conference for you intellectually, professionally, and
personally. Brent Miller and his Program Committee have assembled an impressive array
of workshops, talks, and plenary speakers on the theme of Fammes and Sexuality.
I also want to commend them on the important theme they selected which has so many
important implications for families today.
David!
Olson
To give NCFR and the family more visibility in our society and at the legislative level, I have commissioned a
project entitled 2001: Preparing Families for the Futme. I have appointed a Presidentiall Task Force
of 15 past presidents and 5 additional family scholars to prepare this report which will be available at the meeting.
On Sunday aftemoon, there will be a Presidelflltial Pam~l discussing this report. In addition, my Presidential
Address will highlight some of these salient findings on Monday aftemoon.
During this past year, I also launched a Strategic Plalflllflling Committee to be co-chaired by M. Janice Hogan
(incoming President) and Lynda Walters (President-Elect). The NCFR Board and Committee will be meeting
throughout the convention to initiate this project which will then be implemented the following year. Please let
your elected Board Members know of your ideas for making NCFR a more vital and successful organization.
Enjoy the conference and New Orleans!

THE FEMALE FEAR
GROWING UP WITH DNORCE
Margaret T. Gordon, University of Washington
and Stephanie Riger, Lake Forest College
Helping Your Child Avoid Immediate
and later Emotional Problems
''The fear of rape, as the authors compellingly point
out, pervades women's thoughts. This frightening
dimension of women's lives is poorly understood
and little recognized by the American public. But,
with Gordon and Riger's excellent book, this female
fear is not only effectively illustrated but new
strategies for coping with it are presented. This
is essential reading for all.''
-Ann W. Burgess, co-auth01; Sexual Homicide
Neil Kalter, University of Michigan
In the only book to discuss each stage of a child's
reaction to divorce from infancy to adolescence,
Kalter examines the distinct issues which confront
children of different ages and sexes in the different
stages of divorce-from immediate crises when
parents separate to the long-range period in which
children struggle with lasting emotional problems.
He describes a wide variety of divorce situations and
their impact on children- including joint custody,
dating and remarriage, and ongoing conflict between
parents-and offers practical advice on how to help
children who experience emotional and behavioral
problems.

Theme-
"1{c:F'It" For Families ... Fifty Years and Forever
Historical Vignette:
In 1938 a rabbi, a lawyer, and a sociologist met together to talk about beginning a new organization. On April 21, 1938, in Chicago,
an organizational meeting for NCFR was held.
"The early leaders of the National Conference on Family Relations (as it was then called) envisioned an
interprofessiona/ forum to provide opportunities for individuals; organized groups and agencies interested in family
life to plan and act together on concerns relevant to all forms of marriage and family relationships. To achieve this
goal the NCFR selected National Conferences as the medium."
(p. 1, The National Council on Family Relatjons: A Fifty Year History)
The following is a quotation by David Fulcomer, an early leader who attended and planned those early conferences:
"One of the things that excited me in those early days was the amazing variety of professional persons from many
disciplines and organizations that were involved in some way. I have said many times that I could not have found a
nicer group of humans to know and work with over the years than those in NCFR - a very dedicated, kind, caring
group of people. •
Times have changed! For example:
The first annual convention was held September 17, 1938 at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City. The theme was "The
Contribution of the Family to the Cultural Wealth of the Nation."
In 1949 the registration fee to attend NCFR's annual conference was $1.00, and the luncheon was $3.00, including tip and tax.
In 1950 the annual conference was held at the University of Denver. The registration fee was $3.00 for NCFR members, and
rooms at the University cost $1.25-$2.00 per night.
The 1962 conference was held at the University ofGonnecticut. A two-bedroom suite with private bath was available at the
Pleasant View Lodge Motel for $90.00 a week. Most conference delegates stayed in dormitories. The beds were extremely
uncomfortable, signalling that the time was coming to start holding conferences in hotels.
The first conference which was held in a hotel was in 1964 at the Deauville Hotel, Miami Beach, FL. The full American plan at the
hotel was $11.00 double daily.
One of the most memorable conferences happened in 1971 at the YMCA Camp of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado. Entire
families came to the conference which was held in August that year. Meals were served "family" style, and the camp was filled
with NCFR attendees and their families during the week. The focus of the conference was on family participation.
Special 50th Anniversary Events
Matti Gershenfeld and the anniversary committee have planned many tun events for the week of the conference.
Come and join in the festivities.

During the Banquet Geof Morgan will entertain guests as he sings and plays the guitar. He has composed special songs just for the
NCFR anniversary. Past NCFR presidents will be recognized as well as NCFR members who have been a part of the organization for over
40 years. Gerhard Neubeck, a former NCFR president will read an "original poem" about NCFR's history. Be sure to reserve your
·
place at the banquet on the registration form.

NATIONAL COUNCIL ON FAMILY RELATIONS
50TH Anniversary Conference
Wyndham Franklin Plaza Hotel
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
TO ALL IN ATTENDANCE:
As Mayor of Philadelphia, the nation's first Convention City, it is my pleasure
to welcome members of the National Council on Family Relations, as you convene
for the 50th Anniversary Conference, November 13-16, 1988, at the Wyndham
Franklin Plaza Hotel.
Philadelphia is a city of ethnic diversity, with many neighborhoods created
and maintained by close-knit family groups. I believe I speak for all our citizens
when I say we are honored that a group such as yours, dedicated to a broad
range of family concerns, including family health and therapy, and prevention
of family violence, has chosen to meet in our city.
We hope your members will partake of the many exciting activities going on
in Philadelphia in the fall. Please visit our cultural institutions along the
Benjamin Franklin Parkway, our historic district at Independence Mall and our
beautiful Fairmount Park--the world's largest landscaped park. We are also
proud of the Philadelphia Zoo, the nation's first zoological garden and Penn's
Landing, our City's maritime center.
My best wishes for a successful conference. I hope the members of the National
Council on Family Relations will return home with many fond memories of
our City.

A Repon of
The Family Crneria Task Force
Theodora Ooms and Steven Preisler, Ednors
The strength and wellbeing of society's most important institution, the family, are receiving
increased attention. Policymakers from all parts of the political spectrum agree that family life is
showing signs of serious stress and that families need more support. Child care, parental leave, child
support enforcement, adolescent pregnancy and many other family issues are high on federal and
state policy agendas. However, family considerations are still rarely addressed in the normal process
of policymaking and policy analysis, whether at the federal, state, or local levels. Nor are the family
unit and family relationships usually the focus of evaluation of social programs or policy analysis.
This monograph, written by the Family Criteria Task Force, an ad hoc working group of
individuals, and published by the Family Impact Seminar, identifies criteria that can be used to
assess the effects of proposed existing policies and programs on (amily life and wellbeing, and
represents a political middle ground largely acceptable to both parties. The Report proposes six
broad family principles to guide public policy and specifies a process, including checklists and
family impact questions, that would assist in incorporating family criteria in program evaluation,pnd
policy analysis. It also applies these criteria to some specific public policy and program areas. The
Report will assist federal, state, and local policymakers and program staff to design and implement
social policies and programs to strengthen and support family life, and will also be helpful to those
working in the non-profit and business sectors.
