The relationship between maternal involvement and child adjustment in two parent and single parent families

This study explored the relationship between maternal involvement and child adjustment in two parent and single parent families. This study examined whether the amount of involvement by mothers differed according to family structure and whether greater mother involvement was associated with better adjustment in children. The study further examined to what extent maternal involvement accounted for the child's adjustment when other factors such as socio-economic status were taken into account

A Proper Little Lady and Other Twisted Tales of Adolescent Femininity.

The purpose of this ethnographic study is to explore the stories told by four adolescent females about how they construct a gendered identity amidst the conflicting and contradictory expectations of them as adolescents and as females. After situating the study within a feminist poststructuralist framework, the dominant cultural scripts that have dictated what constitutes normative adolescent and feminine behavior are examined. Of particular importance to this study is the way in which these dominant discourses of femininity and adolescence are manifested in the middle school that the participants attend, especially in the school\u27s attempt to mold its female students into proper little ladies. . As illuminated by the dominant metaphors the participants used to describe their lives (e.g. the cowboy, the gangster, the goddess, the good woman) as well as their stories about fighting, what constitutes normative femininity is a highly contested issue in the everyday lives of adolescents, and their stories reveal an understanding of masculinity and femininity as unfixed, fluid, and contextual. Also, their stories suggest that adolescence is not a universal construct, and how people experience adolescence is greatly impacted by their race (both Black and White girls are represented in the study), class, and gender. In short, these tales told by adolescent females illuminate sites of conflict and challenge us to unlearn the truth about gender, identity, adolescence, and schooling
