An attachment perspective is proposed as a framework for conceptualizing the impact of sexual victimization on close relationships. Two studies were conducted to empirically examine the links between sexual victimization and perceptions of romantic, parental, and peer relationships. Study One included 154 undergraduate women, and Study Two included 48 high school seniors. In both studies, appro...

Gender inequality at home continues to constrain gender equality at work. How do the gender disparities in domestic labor that children observe between their parents predict those children's visions for their future roles? The present research examined how parents' behaviors and implicit associations concerning domestic roles, over and above their explicit beliefs, predict their children's futu...

Mining companies of the past and present have promoted specific roles for men women through their management practices. In DR Congo, first colonial then state-owned naturalised role as employees breadwinners. At same time, were assigned responsibility reproduction understood being financially dependent on men's salary, either that fathers or husbands. By contrast, some LSM (large-scale mining) ...

OBJECTIVES To compare serum Lp(a), lipids: TC, TG and lipoproteins: HDL-C and LDL-C levels of offspring with history of paternal myocardial infarction with the serum levels in offspring without paternal history of myocardial infarction. SETTING Basic Medical Sciences Institute, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi. METHODS Thirty offspring between the ages of 8-25 years with the hist...

Fathers and fatherhood are back on the policy agenda. Over the past two decades questions have been raised within New Zealand and comparative countries as to the status of men and the rights and responsibilities of fatherhood. Such questions arise at a time when fathers have become increasingly marginalised, especially within the context of the home. As the role of breadwinner and provider has ...

Research on nonmarital fertility has focused almost exclusively on unmarried mothers, due in part to a lack of fertility information for men. Cycle 6 of the National Survey of Family Growth allows exploration of nonmarital fertility for both genders. We compare the characteristics of unmarried first-time mothers (n = 2,455) and fathers (n = 797), use event history techniques to model second bir...

Links between children's attachment security with mothers and fathers, assessed in Strange Situation with each parent at 15 months (N = 101), and their future behavior problems were examined. Mothers and fathers rated children's behavior problems, and children reported their own behavior problems at age 8 (N = 86). Teachers rated behavior problems at age 6½ (N = 86). Insecurity with both parent...

Having a child with type 1 diabetes (T1D) has an impact on the family’s dynamics, but less is known about the specific influence the child’s gender exerts. The parents attending a routine diabetic review clinic were asked to complete the Family Adaptation and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES-IV), and associated measures of family communication and satisfaction with family life. 53 mothers and 1...

In this paper we present some examples of decision procedures based on tableau calculus for some monoand multimodal logics having a semantics involving properties that are not easily representable in tree-like structures (like e.g. density, confluence and persistence). We show how to handle them in our framework by generalizing usual tableaux (which are trees) to richer structures: rooted direc...
