Gendered differences in parents' encouragement of sibling interaction: implications for the construction of a personal premise system

Abstract

Fathers' and mothers' encouragement of sibling interaction was examined in two-child families when the younger sibling was 5 weeks old and the older sibling about 22 months old and then approximately 3 months later. Concordant with the theories of J. Block (1982) and J. H. Block (1983,1984), fathers' and mothers' own linguistic behaviour as well as their encouragement of their children's behaviour reflected * The authors express their appreciation to the Office of Research and the Agricultural Expenment Station (journal paper No. 3678), Utah State University, for their support of this work. Many thanks to Dona Reeder, Carolyn Miller, and Mahshid Salehi for their assistance in collecting and coding data.

Gender in discourse behaviour in parent–child dyads: a literature review

“…The question whether child gender influences the parental style in general remains controversial (e.g. Berghout Austin & Braeger 1990 vs. Lytton & Romney 1991). Concerning linguistic differences, however, the meta‐analysis (Leaper et al .…”

Einfluß der Familie auf die Geschlechtsrollenverteilung : ein Forschungsbericht mit erweitertem bibliographischen Anhang

“…Die im folgenden zusammengestellten Forschungsarbeiten machen auf einige interessante Zusammenhänge zwischen besonderen Familienvariablen und der kindlichen Geschlechtsrollenentwicklung aufmerksam. Austin & Braeger (1990) konnten zeigen, daß Väter und Mütter die Interaktionen männlicher und weiblicher Geschwister ganz unterschiedlich bekräftigen: Väter verstärken und unterstützen akkommodatives (d.h. aktiv veränderndes) Verhalten ihrer Söhne und Mütter ermutigen und verstärken assimilatives (d.h. sich flexibel anpassendes) Verhalten ihrer Töchter. Hein & Lewko (1994) untersuchten die differenziellen Auswirkungen autoritativen elterlichen Erziehungsverhaltens auf Jungen und Mädchen: bei Jungen wird durch autoritatives Elternverhalten vor allem die Leistungsmotivation, bei Mädchen dagegen stärker die Familienbezogenheit und zwischenmenschliche Kompetenz gefördert.…”

Translation, validity, and reliability of the European Portuguese version of the Touch Experiences and Attitudes Questionnaire

“…In this line, the role of oxytocin stands out, since is related to decreased stress responses and can increase the prominence of socially relevant cues, or promote approach behaviour in social interactions, thus also being context-dependent ( Cascio, Moore & McGlone, 2019 ; Kemp & Guastella, 2011 ; Shamay-Tsoory et al, 2009 ; Walker et al, 2017 ). The perception of touch can also be affected by sex, with females reportedly having more positive touch experiences throughout their lives ( Benenson, Morash & Petrakos, 1998 ; Berghout Austin & Braeger, 1990 ; Upenieks & Schafer, 2022 ; Webb & Peck, 2015 ), and tend to perceive these experiences as more pleasant during their lifespan ( Croy et al, 2019 ; Jönsson et al, 2017 ; Russo, Ottaviani & Spitoni, 2020 ). Comfort with social touch also depends on the kind of relationship we have with the other person ( Suvilehto et al, 2015 ).…”
