    The Determinants of Paternal Involvement in Primiparous Swedish Families

    Full text link
    The mothers and fathers of 138 firstborn Swedish children were interviewed when their children averaged 16 months of age and again 12 months later. Questions focused on demographic characteristics, employment characteristics, division of paid and unpaid parental leave, amount of paternal involvement in the weeks preceding the two assesssment phases, division of parental responsibilities, and the child's parental preferences. Analyses conducted using the Partial Least Squares (soft modelling) technique revealed that fathers were more involved at 28 months when their partners worked more, when the fathers assumed more responsibility for childcare chores, and when the fathers had been more involved 12 months earlier. Paternal involvement at 16 months was likewise determined by maternal and paternal work status, and the amount of maternity and paternity leave taken in the preceding months. The data thus reveal substantial stability over time in the degree of paternal involvement. Fathers were also more involved with daughters. Socioeconomic status (SES) did not significantly predict paternal involvement.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/68200/2/10.1177_016502548801100403.pd

A seguir, mobilizando especialmente material arqueológico suplementado por fontes literárias, ela dirige sua análise para a periferia do caRitalismo e esboça a introdução do chá no Brasil. O ritual do chá, claramente sob autoridade feminina, no entanto apresenta uma peculiaridade singular nas classes médias do Rio de Janeiro oitocentista: é servido num espaço masculino por excelência, a sala de jantar. Tal ambigüidade é estudada juntamente com outros rituais mais recentes (que esvaziaram a etiqueta original do chá enquanto rito de passagem!, do ponto de vista das estratégias de gênero
