Immigration and the Family - Research and Policy on U.s. Immigrants (Paperback): Alan Booth, Ann C. Crouter, Nancy Landale,... Immigration and the Family - Research and Policy on U.s. Immigrants (Paperback)
Alan Booth, Ann C. Crouter, Nancy Landale, Nancy S. Landale
R1,388 Discovery Miles 13 880 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book documents the third in a series of annual symposia on family issues--the National Symposium on International Migration and Family Change: The Experience of U.S. Immigrants--held at Pennsylvania State University. Although most existing literature on migration focuses solely on the origin, numbers, and economic success of migrants, this book examines how migration affects family relations and child development. By exploring the experiences of immigrant families, particularly as they relate to assimilation and adaptation processes, the text provides information that is central to a better understanding of the migrant experience and its affect on family outcomes. Policymakers and academics alike will take interest in the questions this book addresses: * Does the fact that migrant offspring get involved in U.S. culture more quickly than their parents jeopardize the parents' effectiveness in preventing the development of antisocial behavior? * How does the change in culture and language affect the cognitive development of children and youth? * Does exposure to patterns of family organizations, so prevalent in the United States (cohabitation, divorce, nonmarital childbearing), decrease the stability of immigrant families? * Does the poverty facing many immigrant families lead to harsher and less supportive child-rearing practices? * What familial and extra-familial conditions promote "resilience" in immigrant parents and their children? * Does discrimination, coupled with the need for rapid adaption, create stress that erodes marital quality and the parent-child bond in immigrant families? * What policies enhance or impede immigrant family links to U.S. institutions?

Families and Child Health (Hardcover, 2013 ed.): Nancy S. Landale, Susan M. McHale, Alan Booth Families and Child Health (Hardcover, 2013 ed.)
Nancy S. Landale, Susan M. McHale, Alan Booth
R2,806 Discovery Miles 28 060 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In recent years, there has been an explosion of research on the early origins of adult health. A growing body of evidence documents that maternal health before conception, prenatal and perinatal exposures, and conditions in childhood play critical roles in health over the life course. Scientific understanding of the multiple and interacting influences on child health and their role in later health continues to evolve rapidly, but greater attention to how families shape the conditions of early life that underlie childhood health is needed. This volume aims to advance understanding of this topic, with attention to mechanisms through which health disparities emerge and are sustained across the lifespan.

Biosocial Foundations of Family Processes (Hardcover, 2011 Ed.): Alan Booth, Susan M. McHale, Nancy S. Landale Biosocial Foundations of Family Processes (Hardcover, 2011 Ed.)
Alan Booth, Susan M. McHale, Nancy S. Landale
R2,951 Discovery Miles 29 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Biosocial Research Contributions to Family Processes and Problems, based on the 17th annual National Symposium on Family Issues, examines biosocial models and processes in the context of the family. Research on both biological and social/environmental influences on behavior, health, and development is represented, including behavioral endocrinology, behavior genetics, neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, sociology, demography, anthropology, economics, and psychology. The authors consider physiological and social environmental influences on parenting and early childhood development, followed by adolescent adjustment, and family formation. Also, factors that influence how families adapt to social inequalities are examined.

Both family resources and constraints with respect to economic, social, and human capital are considered.

Just Living Together - Implications of Cohabitation on Families, Children, and Social Policy (Hardcover): Alan Booth, Ann C.... Just Living Together - Implications of Cohabitation on Families, Children, and Social Policy (Hardcover)
Alan Booth, Ann C. Crouter, Nancy S. Landale
R3,851 Discovery Miles 38 510 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Based on the presentations and discussions from a national symposia, "Just Living Together" represents one of the first systematic efforts to focus on cohabitation. The book is divided into four parts, each dealing with a different aspect of cohabitation. Part I addresses the big picture question, "What are the historical and cross cultural foundations of cohabitation?" Part II focuses specifically on North America and asks, "What is the role of cohabitation in contemporary North American family structure?" Part III turns the focus to the question, "What is the long- and short-term impact of cohabitation on child well-being?" Part IV addresses how cohabiting couples are affected by current policies and what policy innovations could be introduced to support these couples.
Providing a road map for future research, program development, and policymaking. "Just Living Together" will serve as an important resource for people interested in learning about variations in the ways families of today are choosing to organize themselves.
