Abstract: In virtually all families around the world, parenting is based on collaboration and coordination among caregivers responsible for a child or children. Shared coparenting roles bind together not only biological parents, but also parents in diverse families such as adoptive, foster, and divorced families as well as those with extended kinship systems (McHale et al., 2004). Coparenting refers to the ways in which parents and other parental figures work together as parents (Feinberg, 2003), and is based on existing social norms on conjoint responsibility for the well-being of the child (Van Egeren & Hawkins, 2004). According to Feinberg's (2003) widely cited theory, coparenting consists of four sub-scales: division of ... Read More PubDate: 2023-08-26T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Adolescents across the globe are drawn to the internet as it provides opportunities to communicate and form relationships with other people (Biocca, 2000; Bryant et al., 2006; Mikami et al., 2010; Tsitsika et al., 2014; Valkenburg & Peter, 2009). They spend a significant amount of time engaging in online social behavior (OSB), including online communication and social networking activities (Anderson & Jiang, 2018; Shin et al., 2012). Recent findings suggest that 97% of U.S. teens say they use the internet daily (Vogels et al., 2022). Similarly, in Europe more than half of children (57%) across 19 countries report using their smartphones or mobile phones at least daily or almost daily (Smahel et al., 2020). For some ...

Abstract: Partnered relationships are integral to individual and family health and well-being over the life course (Bookwala, 2016; Umberson & Thomeer, 2020). Those in happy marriages tend to report better health and well-being, such as lower rates of depression and social isolation, as well as improved life satisfaction and mortality risk relative to those in unhappy partnerships (Carr et al., 2014; Hawkins & Booth, 2005; Lawrence et al., 2019; Umberson et al., 2006). It is also well documented that significant shifts in immigration patterns and parental roles contribute to more diverse marital experiences in North American society. Indeed, we have witnessed high rates of immigration to Canada from non-Westernized ... Read More PubDate: 2023-08-26T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Recent studies in western countries have examined how dual-earner couples coordinate work time to accommodate childcare responsibilities and documented that they have employed diverse strategies to resolve conflicting demands of work and family (Bunning & Pollmann-Schult, 2016; Carriero et al., 2009; Hook & Wolfe, 2013; Murtorinne-Lahtinen et al., 2016; Wight et al., 2008). In western countries, couples often use tag-team parenting as a time-use strategy, referring to couples desynchronizing their work schedules so that one parent can be at home with children while the other one is at work (Boushey, 2006; Bunning & Pollmann-Schult, 2016; Lesnard & Po, 2008).When public support and relatives' assistance for ...

Abstract: Sarah Lamb's (2022) book, Being Single in India: Stories of Gender, Exclusion and Possibility, is a fascinating contribution to the study of gender and kinship literature in India. Choosing as its centre of attention the category of the "never married singlehood." That is, women who had never married and were unlikely to marry, Lamb's ethnography is important for its nuanced and grounded analysis. Significantly, the book refrains from the hackneyed portrayal of single women as either suffering subjects on the one hand, or emancipated women on the other. Along with addressing the contestations of their identity, Lamb gives detailed accounts of their quest for well-being through finding pleasures, self-care, openness ...
