Women's Emotions Towards the Mobile Phone

2012

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether women's emotions associate differently with the mobile phone depending on the type of family in which they live. James A. Russell's circumplex model of affect which explores four main emotional dimensions, excitement, distress, depression and contentment, was applied. The article is based on the female sub-sample (N = 3,704) of nationally representative survey data collected from Italy, France, the UK, Germany and Spain (N = 7,255) in 2009. The results show that it is women living in blended families who seem to associate more distress and less feelings of contentment with the mobile phone than women living in other types of family. peerRe…

Deconstructing Stereotypes Through Reading Children’s Literature as Intergenerational Play: The Case of the Stepmother

One of the key roles within stepfamilies, the role of stepmother has been and still is stigmatized with an aura of wickedness, produced by folk and fairy tales as well as by the media. As a review of theoretical frameworks of children’s literature indicates, there is a shortage of methodological proposals for handling such controversial topics in literary education. Thus, the objective of this chapter is to present and test a methodology for analyzing the capacity of children’s literature to shape social understanding of such intergenerational topics. This study was based on the exploration of the picture book by Gonzalez and Alberdi entitled La novia de papa tambien me quiere (My Dad’s Gir…

En ellas se involucran adultos y menores, por lo que necesitan una identidad propia que determine los derechos y obligaciones de cada uno. Aunque nada se ha previsto en el Código civil español, no acontece igual en otros Derechos, como en algunos de los llamados Derechos forales y en los ordenamientos jurídicos de otros países. Partiendo de ello, en este artículo vamos a realizar algunas consideraciones en torno a lo que podría ser su régimen jurídico. More and more couples who have married or formalized their union are dissolving and…

Dynamics of the caring family

2003

When several individuals simultaneously provide for offspring, as in families, the effort of any one individual will depend on the efforts of the other family members. This conflict of interest among family members is made more complicated by their relatedness because relatives share genetic interest to some degree. The conflict resolution will also be influenced by the differences in reproductive value between breeders and helpers. Here, we calculate evolutionarily stable provisioning efforts in families with up to two helpers. We explicitly consider that the behavioral choices are made in a life-history context, and we also consider how group sizes change dynamically; this affects, for ex…
