“…When families reject hierarchical thinking about gender, they provide an important site of resistance to the dominant social discourse (Hill Collins, 1998). Robust research findings indicate that when families encourage self‐assertion, permit disagreement, and respect others' views, adolescent identity exploration is greater than in families where individuality is not encouraged (Grotevant & Cooper, 1985; Steinmetz, 1999).…”

ࡗ Toward a Dialectical Model of Family GenderDiscourse: Body, Identity, and SexualityThe goal of this article is to propose a dialectical model representing gender discourse in families. A brief review of literature in sociology, psychology, and gender studies focuses on three dialectical issues: nature versus culture, similarity versus difference, and stability versus fluidity. Deconstructing gender theories from a postmodern feminist perspective, the authors discuss agency and context in families' gender discourse. Narrative excerpts from interviews with an adolescent daughter and her mother illustrate three emergent themes in the social construction of gender: body, identity, and sexuality. The article concludes with recommendations for family researchers.

“…These findings, and our primary interest in the interactions between familial and nonfamilial factors, prompt us to control for gender. Additionally, because parenting processes and the outcomes of interest are likely to differ by age, race, and socioeconomic status, we control for these variables as well (see Steinmetz, 1999, for a comprehensive review).…”

ࡗ Risk and Resiliency Factors Among Adolescents Who Experience Marital TransitionsUsing a resiliency framework, we examined familial and extrafamilial factors associated with adolescent well-being in intact, blended, and divorced single-parent families. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted using a large sample of 7th-, 9th-, and 11th-grade adolescents (N ϭ 2,011) to test the moderating effect of peer support, school attachment, and neighbor support when parental support and monitoring were low. Significant two-and three-way interactions were probed. Findings indicate that divorced and blended families have some of the same forms of resiliency as intact families. For adolescents in a divorced single-parent family, peer support moderated the effect of low parental support on internalizing symptoms. We discuss the merits of examining divorce from a resiliency perspective.It is estimated today that almost half of all marriages will end in divorce, and that approximately 1 million children will experience divorce each year (Clarke, 1995). Research indicates that children who experience divorce fare more poorly on a number of psychological and behavioral mea-

“…At the same time, however, socialization is a reciprocal process, with parents being shaped by these dynamics as well as children (Kaltenborn; Lu & Kao; and Yang & Rettig in later parts of this collection). Moreover, socialization does not ensure cultural transmission to the next generation, because parenting skills, specific cultural influences, and the values of the larger society often fail to be realized in the outcomes of the young (Steinmetz, 1999 Yoon, in later parts of this collection). Socialization is the process through which a person becomes capable of participating in society, but is also the means through which a society or culture reproduces itself (Elkin & Handel, 1989).…”
