“…No relationships exceeded modest effect sizes; this trend is consistent with those of research studies relating psychoanalytic constructs and social determinants (Juni, Rahamim, & Brannon, 1985).…”

For this study, 150 men and 164 women completed the Bem Sex-Role Inventory and the Defense Mechanisms Inventory. Data analyses showed that Turning Against the Object related negatively to femininity, Reversal of Affect related positively to femininity, and that the inner-oriented mode of object relations was associated with femininity. For women only, masculinity related positively with Principalization and Reversal of Affect, and negatively with Turning Against the Self. We interpret the results by viewing the measured defenses as being linked to aggression and its sex-role correlates.

“…Sex role development has also been defined in terms of psychosexual development (Juni, Rahamim, & Brannon, 1985;O'Connell, 1979). Freudian theory suggests that the development of sexual identity occurs in a predetermined manner through the oral, anal, phallic, latent, and genital stages.…”

“…According to psychodynamic theory, children identify with the same-gender parent and conversely disidentify with the cross-gender parent. According to psychodynamic theory, the resolution of the innate struggle for gender identification is crucial to the successful development of gender appropriate urges and behavior so that the boy is not overly feminine and the girl not overly masculine (Juni, Rahamim, & Brannon, 1985). Santrock and Warshak (1979) and Peterson and Zill (1986) reported that children who lived with cross-gender parents exhibited more behavioral problems than their peers living with same-gender parents.…”

Effects of Parent’s Gender, Child’s Gender, and Parental Involvement on the Academic Achievement of Adolescents in Single Parent Families

2007

We used a national database (Educational Longitudinal Study) to investigate the effects of parent's gender, child's gender, and parental involvement in school on the academic achievement of adolescents in singleparent families. A three way 2×2×2 (parent's gender × child's gender × parental involvement) MANCOVA was conducted with four student academic achievement indicators as dependent variables and SES as a covariate. The results indicated that parent gender and child gender interact with parent involvement to affect adolescents' academic achievement differentially. Specifically, daughters who lived with highly involved single-fathers performed better academically than the other groups did. These findings suggest that researchers who study single-parents' involvement in their adolescents' academic achievement need to pay more attention to gender-specific effects.

“…The problems are most salient with regard to child-related issues. Since gender role is most relevant in children, who model their behavior after that of others (Juni et al, 1985), it can be suggested that the absence of such roles in the marital unit will engender stress with respect to child management.…”
