“…Studies in this review that made this comparison reported a similar result (Claxton-Oldfield et al, 2006;Herbstrith et al, 2013;Miall & March, 2005;Planitz & Feeney, 2009;Schultz & Leigh, 2004;Troilo, 2013;Troilo & Coleman, 2008). At the same time, while stereotypes related to family structure have not changed considerably, evidence of growing tolerance for divorce, remarriage and same-sex parenting has also been found (Arditti & Lopez;Camilleri & Ryan, 2006;Choi et al, 2005;Claxton-Oldfield et al, 2005;Rincon & Lam, 2011;Troilo & Coleman, 2008).…”

“…In general, divorced and single mothers were stereotyped more negatively than divorced and single fathers (DeJean et al, 2012). However, stereotypes linked to lesbian mothers and gay fathers were both mixed, revealing the coexistence of positive and negative views toward these parents (Camilleri & Ryan, 2006;Giuseppina Pacilli et al, 2011;Herbstrith et al, 2013;Rincon & Lam, 2011;Troilo & Coleman, 2008). Unfortunately, the lack of research on stereotypes associated with stepmothers and adoptive mothers in the last decade does not permit a comparison with father groups.…”

“…Additionally, in one article (Arditti & Lopez, 2007), the concept of image was utilized and defined as a 'mental picture' (Cayne & Lechner, 1992). In two studies (Claxton-Oldfield et al, 2005;Rincon & Lam, 2011), the constructs of attitude, stereotype and schema were interchangeably used with other terms, such as traits, views, perceptions, beliefs and/or impressions but no definition of those terms was provided. Finally, seven studies (Claxton-Oldfield, Garber, & Gillcrist, 2006;Claxton-Oldfield & O'Neil, 2007;Claxton-Oldfield et al, 2005;Fingerhut & Peplau, 2006;Herbstrith et al, 2013;Rincon & Lam, 2011;Schultz & Leigh, 2004) also used the terms traits, views, perceptions, beliefs and/or impressions as primary constructs but did not define them.…”

Is family structure a cue for stereotyping? Past reviews on the topic of stereotypes and parenthood are divided. To update the current understanding on this important question, this systematic review summarizes and integrates the body of literature published between 2003 and 2013 on stereotypes associated with married, divorced, single, step, same-sex and adoptive parents. Seventeen articles met all of the inclusion criteria. An analysis of the final sample of studies helps main trends pertaining to these six parental types to be identified. Findings revealed that motherhood and fatherhood continue to be conceptualized differently, with stereotypes associated with different types of fathers appearing more positive than those associated with different types of mothers. Married parents also appear to remain the parental type that is the most positively stereotyped and against which other types are compared. These results are compared to past meta-analytic reviews and implications for future research are presented.

Negotiating Religiosity and Sexual Identity Among Hispanic Lesbian Mothers

Hispanic lesbian mothers face bicultural tensions that stigmatize their roles as mothers. Religion could produce heightened conflict given their potential incompatibility with the role of a "good mother." In particular, there is a potential for conflict between the definition of a "good mother" set forth in Catholicism and the sexual orientation of Hispanic lesbians. I conducted semistructured in-depth interviews to examine how Hispanic lesbian mothers negotiate their Catholic religious identity with aspects of their sexual identity. More specifically, I examined the strategies that Hispanic lesbian mothers use to reconcile or navigate perceived conflict between their roles as a Catholic and as a lesbian. The research questions to be answered were: How do Hispanic lesbian mothers negotiate a Catholic religious and a sexual identity? How do Hispanic lesbian mothers create and maintain a religious narrative? How do Hispanic lesbian mothers redefine religion and spirituality?
