“…The analysis explores, in the main, parents' standpoints with respect to financial arrangements, whilst views of financial (in)dependence are addressed from the standpoint of the student (cf. McCarthy et al, 2003).…”

“…Thus photo elicitationthough not an exclusively verbally oriented method -favours children who master verbal expression well, and may exclude children who have problems in adequately applying speech for communication (Morris, 2003;Rabiee, Sloper, & Beresford, 2005). These factors are difficult for the research team to influence, but can be eased by attempting to create a comfortable atmosphere (Eder & Fingerson, 2001;Lewis, 2009;Ribbens McCarthy, Holland, & Gillies, 2003).…”

Abstract:The integration of visual prompts into qualitative interviews is regarded as a useful tool in attempting to give children the possibility of verbalizing memories and describing abstract issues. Furthermore, photo interviews are supposed to promote children's participatory research experiences. Less attention has been paid to how visual and verbal elements may be interrelated throughout the research process. Drawing on data from an Austrian empirical study with 50 children aged 10 years, the objective of this paper is to describe the combination of visual and verbal data in detail. Special emphasis is put on identifying factors that influence children's participation. The potential and limitations of photo interviews as a participative method of conducting research with children are elaborated. Although this approach does not per se decrease power differentials, enhance participation, or respect children's agency, it has a high potential to facilitate such action, if applied carefully, critically, and conscientiously.

Living away from home at university has long been seen as a first step on the road to fully independent living, but considerable concern has been expressed by some commentators that involved parenting – sometimes termed ‘helicopter parenting’ – threatens the transition to independence. We approached students and parents at two pre-1992 universities and interviewed 29 parent-student dyads. The paper focuses on non-financial support and the analysis takes the parents’ standpoint. Four categories of parental involvement are identified and described. The article finds no evidence to suggest that involved parenting routinely becomes ‘helicopter parenting’. Most parents wanted to balance support on the one hand, and the encouragement of their children to become more independent on the other, but a majority expressed anxieties about doing so. Students were more optimistic than their parents about becoming independent.
