We found that in rural areas the son preference of other people withi...

... center and all other human roles are deployed in different distances around the ego, like ripples from a stone thrown into a pond (Bian, 1997;Chang, 2010;Fei, 1997Fei, , 1999). The rings of the ripples represent different spheres, with each sphere representing social ties of different strengths influencing an individual's attitude and behavior (Fig. 1). According to researchers studying Chaxugeju, the subjective norms in rural China involve four types of social ties: blood, marital, regional, and business/friendship, and seven dif- ferent groups: parents, siblings, spouse, spouse's parents, acquaintances/friends, neighbors and villagers (Bian, 1997;Chang, 2010). A previous ...

... Ekele et al. (2008) révèlent que les femmes nigériennes ayant précédemment eu une petite fille souhaitaient plus souvent savoir le sexe foetal (N = 1135). En Inde, en raison de la pratique illégale de l'avortement sélectif des foetus féminins (qui concerne aussi la Chine - Yang et Einstein, 2014), la législation en vigueur depuis 1996 interdisant la détermination du sexe foetal a été renforcée en 2003 (Ahankari, Myles, Tata et Fogarty, 2015). Cette pratique touchant aussi des pays européens, en particulier des anciens États soviétiques, le Conseil de l'Europe a réfléchi à la possibilité d'interdire aux hôpitaux de révéler le sexe foetal aux devenant parents afin d'empêcher l'avortement sélectif des foetus féminins (Donnelly, 2011). ...
Cette étude avait pour objectif d’explorer les raisons motivant le choix des femmes enceintes primipares de connaître ou non le sexe fœtal et de comparer leurs représentations de l’enfant porté. Au total, 31 femmes, dont 14 ignorent le sexe fœtal, ont été incluses dans l’étude entre leur 26e et 33e semaine de grossesse. Elles ont été interviewées à l’aide de l’IRMAG (Ammaniti et al., 1999) après avoir rempli un questionnaire en ligne. La décision de ne pas connaître le sexe fœtal peut être l’expression du désir de garder une part de mystère ou d’une préoccupation non centrée sur le sexe de l’enfant. Presque la moitié des sujets rapportent une difficulté à imaginer le caractère et l’aspect physique de leur enfant. Les femmes ignorant le sexe fœtal font plus de rêves étranges de leur enfant et sont plus attentives à la qualité de ses mouvements. Enfin, la connaissance du sexe fœtal ne semble pas forcément induire de représentations genrées stéréotypées.
