“…The degree of hierarchy -in our case particularly gender hierarchy or patriarchy -in the family is refl ected in parenting. This assumption is supported through qualitative evidence offered by Tommi Hoikkala (1998) showing that in 'traditional' hierarchic and ideologically patriarchal families, the parental style of the father is rather authoritarian and punishing -although Hoikkala's results also suggest that culture may have a stronger impact on the degree of patriarchy than does social status. Hadjar et al (2007) provide quantitative evidence that structural patriarchy is linked to patriarchal gender roles, and that structural patriarchy leads -although not in all cultures -to a stronger gender-specifi c parenting, and particularly to a gendered control behaviour.…”

The article reports research on family socialization of dominance values among adolescents. Dominance values were studied as expressed in Hierarchic Self-Interest (HSI), a value pattern that is typical for highly competitive market-oriented societies and has negative behavioural consequences. In analyzing socialization, the study concentrates on authoritarian and achievement-focused parenting, as well as structural and ideological predictors thereof. The relevance of HSI for attitudes and behaviours is studied by considering xenophobia and delinquency as its consequences. Using panel data of 443 families (mothers, fathers, and adolescent offspring) from Berlin (Germany), a structural equation model is estimated. Results show that adolescent HSI can be traced back to social-structural variables and parenting modes, but also develops through intergenerational value transmission. It has assumed negative consequences.

“…Through their peers and relatives, and chat on social media, young people learn things about other families and fathers unveiling a rugged landscape with pitfalls and gorges. Today, says Tommi Hoikkala, parents are expected to take the roles of 'managers and coaches' in relation to their children's development (Hoikkala 1998).…”

In this paper a group of young people from Torshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands, share their personal reflections and views on the ‘Faroese father’ in present-day society. The material from this qualitative study is used to examine and analyse the role and position of the father in relation to his family and working life, his masculinity and identity, and his general historic status in society. The main aim of the paper is to outline and illustrate a pattern of transition in Faroese fatherhood resonating new gender and family values, but also a social shift towards a (late) modern and diversified labour market with emerging female-dominated professions. Seen from the son’s and the daughter’s perspective, this paper suggests, the father’s place in the life of his children mirrors a very special relation associated with feelings of affection, safety, and guidance. Drawing on theoretical scholarship from fatherhood research in the tradition of critical men’s studies, as well as from anthropological family studies, this paper contributes to scientific reviews of fatherhood and masculinity in small island communities in shift. This study is part of the larger research project called Faroese Fatherhood in Transition (2018-2021) financed by Research Council Faroe Islands. Keywords: fatherhood, masculinity, family life, fishermen, small islands, young people

“…Some decided to study cultural discourses concerning youth and young people (Hoikkala, 1989). Others delved into girl cultures (Aapola, 1991;Näre and Lähteenmaa, 1992;Topo, 1988); yet another group focused on initiations into the adult world (Mäki-Kulmala, 1993), cultural models for coming of age (Hoikkala, 1993), fatherhood (Hoikkala, 1998a), speech strategies for constructing a sense of gender in interview situations (Puuronen, 1995) or even the lizard king mythology in the writings of Jim Morrison (Söderholm, 1990). Yet children's and young people's relations with the media were still studied using the CCCS-inspired approach (Pöntinen, 1996;Suoninen, 1993).…”

This article intends to outline major characteristics, theoretical and empirical traditions, and ideologies and discourses related to Finnish youth cultural research. Historically speaking, the cultural socialization of the young Finnish nation after independence was a very special national project: 'young' citizens were socialized in a patronizing and enlightening manner to become true and loyal Finns. Diverse popular and youth cultural phenomena have formed a central pillar in the formulation of Finnishness and the national identity of Finnish youth. Also academic interest in popular cultures arose rather early. In this article, Finnish youth cultural research is described along two orientations, namely socio-politically orientated youth studies and more (post-)structurally orientated cultural studies. It is argued that the distinguishing feature of the Finnish youth research field is its somewhat ambivalent status in the crossroads between these two orientations. The article also analyses the complex role of youth researchers as political actors, and emphasizes that one of the special features of Finnish youth research is its close connection with those active in the field of youth policy.
