Family Studies - Science topic

Sir, you can take your research in two directions parents and children as a unit and did the unit behaviour reach your expectation as per your physical activity intervention or mother and father individually across age means, middle-aged parents, younger parents, their changes in behaviour as per your expectation.

Could you please share Stanley's paper

Hi Anne

Here are some to start with:

Regards, Keith

Congratulations on your very interesting topics. If I had 30 years less, I would certainly enroll in your course. I teach for decades History of Brazil and History of Portuguese-speaking countries, thus worldwide African slaves are in my teaching-researching concerns. The following are some books that I read with interest:

Curwood, Anastasia C. Stormy Weather: Middle-Class African American Marriages between the Two World Wars, 2010.

Franklin, Donna L. Ensuring Inequality: The Structural Transformation of the African American Family, 1997.

Johnston, James H. From Slave Ship to Harvard: Yarrow Mamout and the History of an African American Family, 2012.

McLoyd, Vonnie C.; Hill, Nancy E. & Dodge, A. African American Family Life: Ecological and Cultural Diversity, 2005.

Rosenblatt, Paul C. The Impact of Racism on African American Families: Literature as Social Science, 2014.

f. sigmund Topor agree. I work in Malaysia mainly focusing on Malaysian Indian women.

thank you

I don't know whether this really answers your question, but you should probably start with adopting the solution that gets the best fit indices, whether 2- or 3-class. So at that initial level you don't remove anyone unless there is something wrong with the data (extreme outliers, etc.). Researchers sometimes choose not to consider one of the classes for comparison purposes, because it is too small or is not interesting in light of the research questions. That decision is up to you.

That said, I would strongly advise that you work with posterior probabilities rather than simple class assignment in follow-up analyses. Then the problem associated with classes that are too small becomes less relevant. In addition, this approach takes into consideration that the classification process itself is imperfect and associated with error.

Dear Royal Holloway,

 Perhaps, there is a link between the physical and spiritual elements of social life, which may add depth to your work. On the other hand, I’m not sure such a link is what you are looking for.

 After you have read the above links, consider the constructal law relationship to the process of understanding becomes the freedom from the resistance in the struggle to understand. When resistance becomes insolvable, freedom for many is found in the spiritual domain.

I think that the distinction between low, moderate and high can be based on the scores of your participants, if you need such a distinction instead of continuous scores. 

Stephen,

since it's a 9-point scoring system, it means there are also points between -4 and +4.

Cady,

The initial scale is ok for your analysis but beware of adding an other category (maybe) as it might get the interpretation a little tricky. When you look at a user score which is, say, a 2, without the "maybe" you can interpret this as a tendency to say "yes" but otherwise you need to interpret the value as "more undecided". Thus deviating from the original scale interpretation.

Family has a great role in motivating a students' performance. Students are usually inspired when they are perpetually supported by their family members. 

Dear Berhanu

if we do not argue we will not develop.

 Dear Darcy,..

Surrogacy of parents indeed has created lots of confusion in parentage determination. I the light of LGBT rights this may further complicate the traditional approach of parenthood and this area need fresh look in the modern era of constructed pregnancies. It further aggregates the problem in the light of various religions which proscribe the pregnancy out side the valid marriage. Assisted human reproduction especially IVF has potential of crossing borders and bodies and has introduced terms like 'baby shopping', 'reproductive tourism', ''baby editing' etc. I suggest you to read Prof. Marcia. C. Inborn of Yale University who has reflected on the issue in great way. 

Regards....

Dear Meryem,

I would be very happy ıf you send family leadership tendency scale, in Turkish. Family leadership sounds innovative on family issues and concerns...

This one is a good resource

Patients education, outcome, & compliance are excellent goals for nursesto do. In order to develop such program and reach this goal, you need to focus on specific topics, for example identify the needs for patients admitted to CCU, or Hemodialysis unit..etc. be focused. Broad general program will lead into no where!.

Dear Swati,

I can see that results coming from neuropsychogy research about  visual perception and  language development as related to the introduction to reading activities are quite relevant for early childhood education. There are also very interesting issues concerned to children conceptions of what is considered  as "unreal" (see contributions of the theory of mind). Best regards, Maria Lucia

yes, that explains the appeal of rational choice models. social exchange theories indeed share many common points with the economic approach. SOciologists now cite Becker much more commonly than Homans! however, the economic approach goes beyond social exchange theory. For example, marriage market analysis ac to Becker is rooted in traditional Marshallian economics and does not have an equivalent in sociology, to the best of my knowledge. Did you see my article on Becker's theory of marriage "how Chicagoan is Becker's..." available here on RG

Hello,

i have just published on the Infant Mental Health Journal a manuscript entitled "Mother-child and father-child interaction with their 24-month-old children during feeding, considering paternal involvement and the child’s temperament in a community sample". Besides other results, we found that paternal involvement is a protective factor for the quality of father-child interactions only when the child's temperament is easy (in particular when Social Orientation scores are higher).

Dear Eric,

Thanks for your response. Your research is very interesting and I think is very related to my methodology for visualizing social connectedness across space and time. There is a great opportunity for collaboration. I would like to learn more about your research and hopefully apply the methodology to your data to visualize diaspora connectedness across geographic space and through time.

If you have an English version of your article and maybe some information to describe the metadata such as:

- What are the geolocations? How are they derived? In what context is geography important? For example, use of virtual space (communities) to organize events in physical space.

- How do you define connections(edges) in the network? And are you interested in reflecting the connections in the geographic space as well as the network space?

- How is the temporal dimension is collected?

Please feel free to send a personal message or email at caglarkoylu@gmail.com.

Best,
