Television Programing and Adolescents’ Principles around Sexualityijtsrd
Numerous studies testified confirmatory associations between evolving adults’ television programing and expectations around peer sexual practices and sexual labels. In our study, these associations are re examined in a younger mockup. Additionally, the regulating impact of sexual involvement is tested does existent sexual involvement strengthen the outcome of television disclosure, or does it make the anticipated associations vanish Respondents from a mockup of 15 to 17 years described their programing diet, assessed the occurrence of given sexual happenings, and assessed labels about males as being thoughtful of sex, males as leading sexual associations, and sex as a virtuously physical action. Findings revealed relations with reference to television programing and sexual principles. More precisely, greater disclosure to early evening amusement series, action series, soap theatricals and nightfall exploit series were recurrently related to sexual approaches. Additional examination revealed that some of these associations become tougher as sexual involvement levels advance.

This thesis examines the effects of joint parental leave on marital satisfaction when a couple's first child is born. The study will survey 128 married couples before and after a company implements a new parental leave policy. Participants will complete the Dyadic Adjustment Scale 2 weeks before birth and 6 months after to measure marital satisfaction. The hypothesis is that joint parental leave of at least 3 weeks will lessen the typical decline in marital satisfaction seen after a birth. A correlation will also test the relationship between length of leave taken and marital satisfaction. By exploring this protective factor, insights can be gained to support families through the transition to parenthood.
In every society in the world, certain level of participation of male in reproductive health exists It depends upon many socio-cultural and value related aspects. In India, situation is different may be because of traditional and cultural aspects. This study is based on empirical field based data, published in Communicator.
This document summarizes an undergraduate thesis that examines attitudes toward cohabitation according to level of education. The thesis reviews literature showing that while cohabitation is increasing, research finds both increased marital stability and instability associated with cohabiting. It hypothesizes that more education correlates with more positive cohabitation views. The thesis will analyze data from the General Social Survey from 1994-2012, examining the relationship between attitudes, education levels, and years. It acknowledges limitations of using a quantitative study from restricted survey questions rather than qualitative research.

Positive Expectations in the Early Years of Marriage: Should Couples
Expect the Best or Brace for the Worst?

The current study examined whether the effects of positive expectations on changes in marital satisfac-
tion over the first 4 years of marriage were moderated by the nature of spouses’ interaction behaviors and
relationship attributions. Consistent with predictions, when spouses’ skills were most positive, positive
expectations predicted more stable satisfaction over time whereas less positive expectations predicted
steeper declines. Alternatively, when spouses’ skills were most negative, positive expectations predicted
steeper declines in satisfaction over time whereas less positive expectations predicted more stable
satisfaction. Thus, in contrast to the idea that expectations in the early years of marriage exert main
effects on satisfaction, the current findings suggest that the effects of expectations interact with the skills
partners bring to their relationships.
Things become better when you expect the best instead of the worst.

Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.
—Alexander Pope, Letter to Gay (1727; as cited in Bartlett & Dole,
1919/2000)
Although they lived centuries apart, poet Alexander Pope (see
Bartlett & Dole, 1919/2000) and motivational writer Norman
Vincent Peale (1952) agreed that what people expect to receive
affects how they evaluate what they actually receive. The authors
differ, however, in how they described the nature of this effect.
According to Peale, expectations inspire outcomes that are consis-
tent with those expectations. Thus, he argued that positive expec-
tations should be cultivated because they direct people toward
positive outcomes. According to Pope, however, any expectations
leave people vulnerable to disappointment should they fail to
be met. Thus, he argued that positive expectations should be
avoided because they increase the likelihood of experiencing
disappointments.
The difference between these two views mirrors an ongoing
debate within research on intimate relationships. Although studies
agree that what partners expect to receive in their relationships
affects their evaluations of those relationships (e.g., Baucom,
Epstein, Rankin, & Burnett, 1996; Downey, Freitas, Michaelis, &
Khouri, 1998; Fletcher, Simpson, & Thomas, 2000; Knee, 1998;
McNulty & Karney, 2002, Murray, Holmes, & Griffin, 1996b;
Stanley, Blumberg, & Markman, 1999), there is little consensus
about the direction of this effect. One line of research suggests that
positive expectations lead to positive outcomes. On the basis of
this idea, some authors have argued that positive expectations
about a relationship are necessary for developing and maintaining
healthy relationship functioning. For example, in one approach to

COMS 254 Qualitative methods Literature ReviewMark Sinclair
This document summarizes a research paper on premarital cohabitation. It discusses three main themes from the literature:
1) Socioeconomic status - Lower income contributes to premarital cohabitation as it is often the only affordable housing option. Studies found cohabitating relationships with lower incomes face higher risks of instability.
2) Premarital cohabitation leads to the "cohabitation effect" - Research found cohabitating couples had poorer communication, more arguments, and less stability in marriage compared to non-cohabitating couples.
3) Childbearing and childrearing - Unmarried women are more likely to cohabitate and have children outside of marriage, especially those

This document summarizes a research study that investigated the influence of heavy and low television watching on the study habits of secondary school students. The study involved surveying 500 secondary school students in India to identify heavy and low TV viewers. It then administered a study habits inventory to assess differences between the two groups. The results showed significant differences in study habits between heavy and low TV viewers in areas like time management, note-taking, reading ability, learning motivation, memory, and test-taking. Gender differences were also examined and few differences were found between male and female heavy or low TV viewers. The document provides background on television usage and reviews prior research on television's impact on children and adolescents.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze if and how television affects peoples' perception
of society. Social learning theory and cultivation theory are introduced as two possible reasons
why television can have such an influence over its viewers. This report analyzes how body
image, stereotypes, and job glorification are affected by what is shown on television. An online
survey was taken by twenty-two people in order to see if the amount of television people
watched affected television's influence over its viewers. The questions attempted to analyze how
television affected their perceptions of themselves, others, and the professions of doctors,
lawyers, and police officers. Although the sample size was rather small the results showed that
reality television was affected by the frequency one watched television. However, more studies
should be conducted to analyze if realism or frequency plays a more predominant role in the
effects of television.

Problem Statement
On average Americans, spend 2.8 hours watching television every day (American Time
Use Survey Summary). Television shows can be very influential to people, they have the ability
to move, inspire, and educate them. However, this may be causing people to believe that
television is always an accurate portrayal of real life. The belief that television shows are always
factual has the potential to affect one's judgments, which could lead to body image issues,
increased stereotyping, job glorification and more. "In addition to exposure to television, the
extent to which individuals perceive content as realistic is related to their social judgments"

Literature Review
In 1939 television first started being broadcasted, and ever since the effects television has
on its viewers has been the focus of many debates and concerns. The censorship of television
shows has greatly decreased since its early days. "In the 1950s and 1960s, networks and
advertisers imposed strict controls on what could be show on television" (Hanson 329). In the
early days of television, content was highly regulated and there were a lot of rules about what
was acceptable to show on television. For example, Laura and Rob Petrie, from the Dick Van
Dyke show, had to sleep in separate beds even though they were married. Even Lucille Balls’s
pregnancy caused great concern (Hanson 329). In the 1950s and 1960s, married couples were
shown sleeping separately; however, today it is commonplace to find unmarried couples sharing
a bed on television. Although the rules and regulations about what is appropria.

Predicting Marital Satisfaction among Indian Muslim Women: A Phenomenological...AJHSSR Journal
Societal stability and development depends on stable and secure families, thus societies need to
understand and foster marital satisfaction. This qualitative study is the first of its kind to consider marital
satisfaction among the particular socio-cultural ethnicity of Indian Muslim women. The purpose of this
phenomenological study was to understand the factors affecting the quality of the Indian Muslim women‟s
marital relationships. Semi-structured, face-to-face, in-depth, qualitative interviews were held with 27 Indian
Muslim women from Mumbai, India. The study analyzed the relevant constructed meanings that emerged from
all interviews and clustered them into themes in an attempt to reach an in-depth understanding of factors in the
marital satisfaction and experiences of Indian Muslim women, including trust, commitment, respect,
faithfulness, communication, companionship, positive relations with in-laws, forgiveness, shared values and
financial security. The analysis of the collected data in this study provides a rich description of Indian Muslim
women‟s lived marital experiences and an identification of factors that influence their level of marital
satisfaction. The conclusions of the study indicate that Indian Muslim women are generally satisfied with their
marital life. An analysis of the data collected provided the basis for future research on this phenomenon as well
as some implications for couples, Islamic religious leaders, and marriage counselors working with this
population.
The document discusses how technology has changed family interactions and the importance of recognizing negative effects of technology use at home. It covers strategies that can help mediate these negative effects, such as different styles of parental mediation for television, internet, and video game use. These include restrictive, active/evaluative, and co-playing mediation. The most effective approaches seem to be active discussion of technology rather than restricting access or relying on obedience. Understanding each family's definition is also important when determining the best mediation strategies.

Keeping Marriages Healthy, and Why It’s So Difficult

By Benjamin R. Karney
0210karneyBenjamin Karney is an Associate Professor of Social Psychology and co-director of the Relationship Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research focuses on how marriages change or remain stable over time, and in particular how relationship maintenance is constrained or enhanced by the contexts in which it takes place. Currently this includes research on marriages in the military, funded by the Department of Defense, and marriages in low-income populations, funded by the National Institute on Child Health and Human Development.
He received the Gerald R. Miller Award for Early Career Achievement from the International Association for Relationship Research in 2004 and has twice been the recipient of the National Council on Family Relation’s Reuben Hill Research and Theory Award for outstanding contributions to family science. His textbook, Intimate Relationships (coauthored with Thomas Bradbury), will be published by W. W. Norton in January, 2010.
People rarely change their minds about subjects that are important to them. Those who favor gun control today are likely to favor gun control ten years from now, and those who vote for Democratic candidates today are likely to do so throughout their lives.
Yet intimate relationships, and marriages in particular, are the exception to this rule. After two people stand before everyone important to them in the world and publicly declare that they love each other and intend to remain together for the rest of their lives, everything social psychology has learned about the stability of publicly declared opinions suggests that these will be the most stable opinions of all (Festinger, 1957). Yet of course they aren’t. Despite the almost uniform happiness and optimism of newlyweds, most first marriages will end in divorce or permanent separation (Bramlett & Mosher, 2002), and the rate of dissolution http://bestofassignment.com for remarriages is even higher (Cherlin, 1992).
In most cases, this represents a drastic and unwanted change in a highly valued belief, a change that is emotionally and financially costly to both members of the couple. Even in marriages that remain intact, newlyweds’ initially high levels of marital satisfaction tend to decline over time (VanLaningham, Johnson, & Amato, 2001). How can we account for this change? How is it that marital satisfaction declines so frequently, despite our best efforts to hold on to the positive feelings that motivate marriage in the first place? And what is it those couples that maintain their initial happiness are doing right?
What couples that stay happy are doing right

Socio-demographic Variables, Mindful Awareness and Marital Satisfaction among...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The quality of marital relationship has far-reaching implications for the health and well-being
of the family. Several studies suggest that socio-demographic characteristics and mindful awareness
significantly predict the quality of the marital relationship. Literature is scarce about these studies conducted
among Nigerian samples. This study aimed to assess the socio-demographic factors and mindful awareness as
predictors of marital satisfaction among nursing mothers in Enugu, Southeast Nigeria. The data for this study
were collected at the postnatal clinics and children's welfare clinics of two tertiary hospitals in Enugu, using
Socio-demographic Questionnaire, Index of Marital Satisfaction, and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale.
Correlation analysis was used to test for association. A multiple linear regression analysis was used to
determine the predictor variables for marital satisfaction. The age range of nursing mothers was 20 – 46 years.
Over 88% of the nursing mothers enrolled or completed tertiary education program. Higher levels of marital
satisfaction were reported in 185 (61.7%) of the mothers. Multiple regression analysis suggested that higher
levels of mindfulness and higher levels of educational attainment predicted higher levels of marital satisfaction,
while an increase in the level of pregnancies predicted lower levels of marital satisfaction. The research findings
may carry significant implications for the role of social-demographic characteristics and mindfulness, awareness
in building and sustaining happy marital relationships and general well-being of the family.

Effect of Postpartum Violence Research.pdfsdfghj21
This study examined the effect of postpartum intimate partner violence on mother-infant bonding. The researchers surveyed 200 mothers 4-6 weeks postpartum at hospitals in Turkey. Mothers who experienced violence from their partners during the postpartum period, such as being ignored, scolded, abused, or forced into sexual intercourse, had lower mother-infant bonding scores. In contrast, mothers who planned their pregnancy, were satisfied with their baby's sex, breastfed within 30 minutes of birth, and had a marriage initiated by both partners had higher bonding scores. The study suggests intimate partner violence during the postpartum period can negatively impact mother-infant bonding.

This study examines the extent and
correlates of family separations in
families experiencing homelessness.
Of 2,307 parents recruited in family
shelters across 12 sites, one-tenth
were separated from partners and one-
quarter from one or more children.
Additional separations before and
after shelter entry and reasons, from parents’ perspectives,
were documented in qualitative interviews with a subsample
of 80 parents. Separations were associated with economic
hardship, shelter conditions, and family characteristics.

Poverty and homelessness are associated with the break-up of families. A number of studies have documented that children
in families who experience homelessness frequently become
separated from their parents. In a national sample in 1996, Burt
and colleagues (1999) found that three-fifths of women served by
homeless programs had children under the age of 18, but only 65%
of the mothers lived with any of their children. Park and colleagues
(2004) found that 24% of more than 8,000 children who entered
shelter with a parent for the first time in New York City in 1996
received child welfare services within five years of shelter entry—
three-quarters of them after the family became homeless. Many
smaller, local studies document associations of housing problems and
homelessness with elevated rates of foster care placements and far
higher rates of informal child separations unknown to child welfare
authorities (for reviews, see Barrow & Lawinski, 2009; Courtney,
McMurty, & Zinn, 2004).
Fewer studies have sought to explain these separations. In studies
of the general population, poverty is related to child maltreatment,
especially neglect (Sedlak et al., 2010) and to “substandard” parenting
(Berger, 2007). Among families experiencing homelessness, Park
and colleagues (2004) found that recurrent and longer shelter
episodes and domestic violence predicted child welfare services.
They suggest that families in shelters are subject to stress and lack
of privacy, and also heightened scrutiny: a “fishbowl effect” may lead
staff to report to child protective services. Similarly, McDaniel and
Slack (2005) suggest that life events, such as a move, may make
low-income parents more visible, leading to protective service
reports. Cowal and colleagues (2002.
This study examines how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the financial situation and adjustment of married couples in Sri Lanka. It investigates whether couples experienced fear related to their financial situation and uncertainty during lockdowns. It also looks at the level of support couples received from extended family and whether this support helped moderate the relationship between financial fears/uncertainty and spousal adjustment. An online survey was conducted with 300 married adults. The findings showed that COVID-19 created financial fears and uncertainty among couples in Sri Lanka. It was also concluded that support from extended families contributed positively to spousal adjustment during the pandemic lockdowns.
TV In the context of: “Uses and Gratification approach”Rijitha R
Uses & Gratifications approach arose originally in the 1940s and underwent a revival in the 1970s and 1980s. It presents the use of media in terms of the gratification of social or psychological needs of the individual (Blumler & Katz 1974). The mass media compete with other sources of gratification, but gratifications can be obtained from a medium's content (e.g. watching a specific program). Zillmann (cited by McQuail 1987: 236) has shown the influence of mood on media choice: boredom encourages the choice of exciting content and stress encourages a choice of relaxing content. The same TV program may gratify different needs for different individuals.
Cultivation Theory proposes that heavy television viewers come to see the real world in ways that reflect the most common and recurrent messages of the television world. It suggests that the more time people spend watching television, the more likely they are to believe social realities portrayed on television reflect the actual world. The theory was developed by George Gerbner and focuses on how television shapes viewers' perceptions of violence and crime in society. Later refinements added the concepts of "mainstreaming" and "resonance" to better explain television's influence on viewers' beliefs. While influential, Cultivation Theory has also received criticisms for being an oversimplification and not accounting for other social and media influences.
The document summarizes Cultivation Theory, which was developed by Professor George Gerbner to analyze the long-term effects of television viewing. Some key points:
- Cultivation Theory predicts that heavy television viewing shapes peoples' perceptions of the real world by cultivating exaggerated beliefs, such as that the world is a more violent place.
- Studies found heavy viewers overestimated statistics like crime rates compared to light viewers. This supported the theory's key concept of a "Mean World Syndrome" from extensive television exposure.
- The theory was later modified to include the concepts of "Mainstreaming," where heavy viewing converges viewpoints across groups, and "Resonance," where effects are stronger for vulnerable populations.

This study examined mothers' perceptions of marital quality over the first two years after childbirth. The researchers surveyed 707 mothers one month, one year, and two years postpartum. They found that marital quality declined significantly over time. Having twins or a preterm baby did not affect marital quality, while it recovered more quickly for non-first time mothers. Attachment anxiety and avoidance were strongly associated with lower marital quality directly and indirectly by influencing perceived support. Not all forms of support from mothers and mothers-in-law positively impacted marital quality. The model explained 40% of variance in initial marital quality and 19% of the change over time.
1) The study examined mothers' perceptions of marital quality over two years following childbirth and factors that may influence these perceptions.
2) A structural latent growth model was used to analyze data from 707 mothers collected at 1 month, 1 year, and 2 years postpartum.
3) The results showed a significant decline in reported marital quality over time. Having twins or a preterm baby did not affect marital quality, but it recovered more quickly for mothers with a non-first birth. Attachment orientation and perceived support were also related to marital quality.

Eisend & Möller (2007) believe that media consumption plays a vital role to influence body images and body satisfaction. Television and magazine advertisement with attractive role models will raise comparison standards for physical attractiveness. Prior research on mass media exposure and its effect on body images emphasize on body dissatisfaction and body perception while it fails to integrate beauty-related consumption behavior. Eisend & Möller (2007) provide a cultivation theory that holds that the continued exposure of television t adolescents will have a subtle and cumulative effect to shape views of social reality. Most of the young people consume a lot of television content to define their representations of reality. Television reality contains a lot of distortion and reality, and that leads to heavy consumers of it to form a distorted social perception concerning the world. An increase in television viewing leads one to have biased social perceptions. Other cultivation studies provide evidence that television exposure influences perceptions of consumer reality. Socio-cultural ideals for body appearance illustrate that repeated exposure to media would have an effect on women measure of self-worth.

This document summarizes a paper that surveys longitudinal evidence on how marriage affects physical and psychological health. The paper finds compelling evidence that marriage provides health benefits, including reducing depression and alcohol abuse. The size of the mental health gain from marriage is large, even after controlling for selection effects. Being married is correlated with better self-reported well-being and health outcomes than being single, divorced, separated or widowed. The health benefits of marriage appear to be larger for men than women.

This document summarizes a research paper on premarital cohabitation. It discusses three main themes from the literature:
1) Socioeconomic status - Lower income contributes to premarital cohabitation as it is often the only affordable housing option. Studies found cohabitating relationships with lower incomes face higher risks of instability.
2) Premarital cohabitation leads to the "cohabitation effect" - Research found cohabitating couples had poorer communication, more arguments, and less stability in marriage compared to non-cohabitating couples.
3) Childbearing and childrearing - Unmarried women are more likely to cohabitate and have children outside of marriage, especially those

This document summarizes a research study that investigated the influence of heavy and low television watching on the study habits of secondary school students. The study involved surveying 500 secondary school students in India to identify heavy and low TV viewers. It then administered a study habits inventory to assess differences between the two groups. The results showed significant differences in study habits between heavy and low TV viewers in areas like time management, note-taking, reading ability, learning motivation, memory, and test-taking. Gender differences were also examined and few differences were found between male and female heavy or low TV viewers. The document provides background on television usage and reviews prior research on television's impact on children and adolescents.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze if and how television affects peoples' perception
of society. Social learning theory and cultivation theory are introduced as two possible reasons
why television can have such an influence over its viewers. This report analyzes how body
image, stereotypes, and job glorification are affected by what is shown on television. An online
survey was taken by twenty-two people in order to see if the amount of television people
watched affected television's influence over its viewers. The questions attempted to analyze how
television affected their perceptions of themselves, others, and the professions of doctors,
lawyers, and police officers. Although the sample size was rather small the results showed that
reality television was affected by the frequency one watched television. However, more studies
should be conducted to analyze if realism or frequency plays a more predominant role in the
effects of television.

early days of television, content was highly regulated and there were a lot of rules about what
was acceptable to show on television. For example, Laura and Rob Petrie, from the Dick Van

Predicting Marital Satisfaction among Indian Muslim Women: A Phenomenological...AJHSSR Journal
Societal stability and development depends on stable and secure families, thus societies need to
understand and foster marital satisfaction. This qualitative study is the first of its kind to consider marital
satisfaction among the particular socio-cultural ethnicity of Indian Muslim women. The purpose of this
phenomenological study was to understand the factors affecting the quality of the Indian Muslim women‟s
marital relationships. Semi-structured, face-to-face, in-depth, qualitative interviews were held with 27 Indian
Muslim women from Mumbai, India. The study analyzed the relevant constructed meanings that emerged from
all interviews and clustered them into themes in an attempt to reach an in-depth understanding of factors in the
marital satisfaction and experiences of Indian Muslim women, including trust, commitment, respect,
faithfulness, communication, companionship, positive relations with in-laws, forgiveness, shared values and
financial security. The analysis of the collected data in this study provides a rich description of Indian Muslim
women‟s lived marital experiences and an identification of factors that influence their level of marital
satisfaction. The conclusions of the study indicate that Indian Muslim women are generally satisfied with their
marital life. An analysis of the data collected provided the basis for future research on this phenomenon as well
as some implications for couples, Islamic religious leaders, and marriage counselors working with this
population.
The document discusses how technology has changed family interactions and the importance of recognizing negative effects of technology use at home. It covers strategies that can help mediate these negative effects, such as different styles of parental mediation for television, internet, and video game use. These include restrictive, active/evaluative, and co-playing mediation. The most effective approaches seem to be active discussion of technology rather than restricting access or relying on obedience. Understanding each family's definition is also important when determining the best mediation strategies.

Keeping Marriages Healthy, and Why It’s So Difficult
4
By Benjamin R. Karney
0210karneyBenjamin Karney is an Associate Professor of Social Psychology and co-director of the Relationship Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research focuses on how marriages change or remain stable over time, and in particular how relationship maintenance is constrained or enhanced by the contexts in which it takes place. Currently this includes research on marriages in the military, funded by the Department of Defense, and marriages in low-income populations, funded by the National Institute on Child Health and Human Development.
He received the Gerald R. Miller Award for Early Career Achievement from the International Association for Relationship Research in 2004 and has twice been the recipient of the National Council on Family Relation’s Reuben Hill Research and Theory Award for outstanding contributions to family science. His textbook, Intimate Relationships (coauthored with Thomas Bradbury), will be published by W. W. Norton in January, 2010.
People rarely change their minds about subjects that are important to them. Those who favor gun control today are likely to favor gun control ten years from now, and those who vote for Democratic candidates today are likely to do so throughout their lives.
Yet intimate relationships, and marriages in particular, are the exception to this rule. After two people stand before everyone important to them in the world and publicly declare that they love each other and intend to remain together for the rest of their lives, everything social psychology has learned about the stability of publicly declared opinions suggests that these will be the most stable opinions of all (Festinger, 1957). Yet of course they aren’t. Despite the almost uniform happiness and optimism of newlyweds, most first marriages will end in divorce or permanent separation (Bramlett & Mosher, 2002), and the rate of dissolution http://bestofassignment.com for remarriages is even higher (Cherlin, 1992).
In most cases, this represents a drastic and unwanted change in a highly valued belief, a change that is emotionally and financially costly to both members of the couple. Even in marriages that remain intact, newlyweds’ initially high levels of marital satisfaction tend to decline over time (VanLaningham, Johnson, & Amato, 2001). How can we account for this change? How is it that marital satisfaction declines so frequently, despite our best efforts to hold on to the positive feelings that motivate marriage in the first place? And what is it those couples that maintain their initial happiness are doing right?
What couples that stay happy are doing right

Socio-demographic Variables, Mindful Awareness and Marital Satisfaction among...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The quality of marital relationship has far-reaching implications for the health and well-being
of the family. Several studies suggest that socio-demographic characteristics and mindful awareness
significantly predict the quality of the marital relationship. Literature is scarce about these studies conducted
among Nigerian samples. This study aimed to assess the socio-demographic factors and mindful awareness as
predictors of marital satisfaction among nursing mothers in Enugu, Southeast Nigeria. The data for this study
were collected at the postnatal clinics and children's welfare clinics of two tertiary hospitals in Enugu, using
Socio-demographic Questionnaire, Index of Marital Satisfaction, and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale.
Correlation analysis was used to test for association. A multiple linear regression analysis was used to
determine the predictor variables for marital satisfaction. The age range of nursing mothers was 20 – 46 years.
Over 88% of the nursing mothers enrolled or completed tertiary education program. Higher levels of marital
satisfaction were reported in 185 (61.7%) of the mothers. Multiple regression analysis suggested that higher
levels of mindfulness and higher levels of educational attainment predicted higher levels of marital satisfaction,
while an increase in the level of pregnancies predicted lower levels of marital satisfaction. The research findings
may carry significant implications for the role of social-demographic characteristics and mindfulness, awareness
in building and sustaining happy marital relationships and general well-being of the family.

Effect of Postpartum Violence Research.pdfsdfghj21
This study examined the effect of postpartum intimate partner violence on mother-infant bonding. The researchers surveyed 200 mothers 4-6 weeks postpartum at hospitals in Turkey. Mothers who experienced violence from their partners during the postpartum period, such as being ignored, scolded, abused, or forced into sexual intercourse, had lower mother-infant bonding scores. In contrast, mothers who planned their pregnancy, were satisfied with their baby's sex, breastfed within 30 minutes of birth, and had a marriage initiated by both partners had higher bonding scores. The study suggests intimate partner violence during the postpartum period can negatively impact mother-infant bonding.

Poverty, Homelessness,
and Family Break-Up
This study examines the extent and
correlates of family separations in
families experiencing homelessness.
Of 2,307 parents recruited in family
shelters across 12 sites, one-tenth
were separated from partners and one-
quarter from one or more children.
Additional separations before and
after shelter entry and reasons, from parents’ perspectives,
were documented in qualitative interviews with a subsample
of 80 parents. Separations were associated with economic
hardship, shelter conditions, and family characteristics.

Poverty and homelessness are associated with the break-up of families. A number of studies have documented that children
in families who experience homelessness frequently become
separated from their parents. In a national sample in 1996, Burt
and colleagues (1999) found that three-fifths of women served by
homeless programs had children under the age of 18, but only 65%
of the mothers lived with any of their children. Park and colleagues
(2004) found that 24% of more than 8,000 children who entered
shelter with a parent for the first time in New York City in 1996
received child welfare services within five years of shelter entry—
three-quarters of them after the family became homeless. Many
smaller, local studies document associations of housing problems and
homelessness with elevated rates of foster care placements and far
higher rates of informal child separations unknown to child welfare
authorities (for reviews, see Barrow & Lawinski, 2009; Courtney,
McMurty, & Zinn, 2004).
Fewer studies have sought to explain these separations. In studies
of the general population, poverty is related to child maltreatment,
especially neglect (Sedlak et al., 2010) and to “substandard” parenting
(Berger, 2007). Among families experiencing homelessness, Park
and colleagues (2004) found that recurrent and longer shelter
episodes and domestic violence predicted child welfare services.
They suggest that families in shelters are subject to stress and lack
of privacy, and also heightened scrutiny: a “fishbowl effect” may lead
staff to report to child protective services. Similarly, McDaniel and
Slack (2005) suggest that life events, such as a move, may make
low-income parents more visible, leading to protective service
reports. Cowal and colleagues (2002.
This study examines how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the financial situation and adjustment of married couples in Sri Lanka. It investigates whether couples experienced fear related to their financial situation and uncertainty during lockdowns. It also looks at the level of support couples received from extended family and whether this support helped moderate the relationship between financial fears/uncertainty and spousal adjustment. An online survey was conducted with 300 married adults. The findings showed that COVID-19 created financial fears and uncertainty among couples in Sri Lanka. It was also concluded that support from extended families contributed positively to spousal adjustment during the pandemic lockdowns.
TV In the context of: “Uses and Gratification approach”Rijitha R
Uses & Gratifications approach arose originally in the 1940s and underwent a revival in the 1970s and 1980s. It presents the use of media in terms of the gratification of social or psychological needs of the individual (Blumler & Katz 1974). The mass media compete with other sources of gratification, but gratifications can be obtained from a medium's content (e.g. watching a specific program). Zillmann (cited by McQuail 1987: 236) has shown the influence of mood on media choice: boredom encourages the choice of exciting content and stress encourages a choice of relaxing content. The same TV program may gratify different needs for different individuals.
Cultivation Theory proposes that heavy television viewers come to see the real world in ways that reflect the most common and recurrent messages of the television world. It suggests that the more time people spend watching television, the more likely they are to believe social realities portrayed on television reflect the actual world. The theory was developed by George Gerbner and focuses on how television shapes viewers' perceptions of violence and crime in society. Later refinements added the concepts of "mainstreaming" and "resonance" to better explain television's influence on viewers' beliefs. While influential, Cultivation Theory has also received criticisms for being an oversimplification and not accounting for other social and media influences.
The document summarizes Cultivation Theory, which was developed by Professor George Gerbner to analyze the long-term effects of television viewing. Some key points:
- Cultivation Theory predicts that heavy television viewing shapes peoples' perceptions of the real world by cultivating exaggerated beliefs, such as that the world is a more violent place.
- Studies found heavy viewers overestimated statistics like crime rates compared to light viewers. This supported the theory's key concept of a "Mean World Syndrome" from extensive television exposure.
- The theory was later modified to include the concepts of "Mainstreaming," where heavy viewing converges viewpoints across groups, and "Resonance," where effects are stronger for vulnerable populations.

This study examined mothers' perceptions of marital quality over the first two years after childbirth. The researchers surveyed 707 mothers one month, one year, and two years postpartum. They found that marital quality declined significantly over time. Having twins or a preterm baby did not affect marital quality, while it recovered more quickly for non-first time mothers. Attachment anxiety and avoidance were strongly associated with lower marital quality directly and indirectly by influencing perceived support. Not all forms of support from mothers and mothers-in-law positively impacted marital quality. The model explained 40% of variance in initial marital quality and 19% of the change over time.
1) The study examined mothers' perceptions of marital quality over two years following childbirth and factors that may influence these perceptions.
2) A structural latent growth model was used to analyze data from 707 mothers collected at 1 month, 1 year, and 2 years postpartum.
3) The results showed a significant decline in reported marital quality over time. Having twins or a preterm baby did not affect marital quality, but it recovered more quickly for mothers with a non-first birth. Attachment orientation and perceived support were also related to marital quality.

2. Importance
Millions of individuals experience marital distress,
destructive conflict and divorce every year
(Markman et al., 2010).
Many researchers (Shapiro et al., 2000; Curran et al., 2000; Cowan
& Cowan, 2000; Belsky & Pensky, 1989; Dainton, 2008; Fuller & Fincham, 1995;
Herschberger et al., 2009) have examined marital
satisfaction in the transition to parenthood.
A few studies (Segrin & Nabi, 2006; Osborn, 2012) have
explored how television cultivates unrealistic
expectations about marriage.
No previous study has examined how television
cultivates perceptions of the transition to
parenthood.
3. Purpose
To add a layer of depth to the question, “why
does marital satisfaction decrease during the
transition to parenthood?” by examining how
television cultivates expectations and
perceptions of the transition to parenthood
To identify the role that mass media play in
shaping viewers’ attitudes and perceptions
about this major life transition
4. Review of Literature-
Marital Satisfaction
The well-being of an individual and the survival of a
marriage depends on marital satisfaction.
Marital satisfaction is composed of various factors
including: mutual interests, mutual values, sexual
satisfaction, a sense of security and
communication styles (Hirschberger et al., 2009).
Marital dissatisfaction is problematic because it
negatively affects partners’ “health, welfare, and
quality of life” (Linville et al., 2009, p. 244).
5. Marital Satisfaction during the
Transition to Parenthood
The transition to parenthood often leads to a
decrease in marital satisfaction (Cowan & Cowan, 2000).
Many factors lead to this decrease in satisfaction
including: an increase in chores and stress, a
decrease in communication, and an
interference with companionship and sex life
(Twenge et al., 2003).
High expectations of parenthood before the baby
arrives also contribute to a decrease in marital
satisfaction.
6. Expectations of the Transition to
Parenthood
Individuals approaching parenthood often have
simple, romanticized expectations of what
parenthood will be like (Pancer et al., 2000).
Husbands and wives who had high expectations of
the transition to parenthood experienced steeper
declines in marital satisfaction after the baby was
born (Lawrence & Nylen, 2007).
Curran et al. (2009) hold that parents who have
lower expectations are more prepared for the “harsh
realities of sleepless nights, struggles over household
and child-rearing tasks, and financial strains” (p. 104).
7. So, what contributes to these
expectations?
Expectations are a combination of experiences
and stimuli, both interpersonal and mediated,
rather than simply one or the other (Segrin &
Nabi, 2002).
Thus, cultivation theory and uses and
gratifications theory will be explored.
8. Theoretical Framework –
Cultivation Theory
Cultivation theory focuses on the overall
pattern of television programming and how it
cultivates perceptions of reality among viewers
over time (Gerbner & Gross, 1976).
Cultivation analysis is not centered on television
programs that the viewer prefers, but on what
“no regular viewer can escape” (Gerbner & Gross, 1976, p.
20).
9. Theoretical Framework –
Cultivation Theory
“Television viewers who say they are exposed to greater
amounts of television are predicted to be more likely
(compared to viewers who say they are exposed to
lesser amounts) to exhibit perceptions and beliefs that
reflect the television world messages” (Potter, 1994, p. 1).
10. Theoretical Framework –
Cultivation Theory
Television cultivates,
from birth, the beliefs
and partialities that
were once obtained
from primary sources,
such as family
members, personal
experience, and
education
(Gerbner & Gross, 1976).
11. Theoretical Framework-
Uses and Gratifications Theory
Uses and gratifications research began with the
work of Herzog (1944) who was interested in why
people use certain types of media.
Katz et al. (1973) hold that individuals are able to
bend the media to fit their needs more so than
the media are able to overpower individuals.
Those who watch television programming that
romanticizes marriage do so because those
representations match their preexisting
romanticized beliefs (Segrin & Nabi, 2002).
12. Theoretical Framework-
Uses and Gratifications Theory
Based on uses and gratifications theory, it is
predicted that individuals who hold idealized
beliefs about the transition to parenthood will
choose TV programming that also idealized
the transition to parenthood.
Expectations of marriage are commonly
shaped by the observations of one’s parents’
marriage (Curran et al., 2009).
13. A Few RQs and Hypotheses
RQ 1: What perceptions does television cultivate
among viewers about the transition to parenthood?
RQ 2: Does viewing of a specific genre cultivate
certain attitudes about the transition to parenthood?
RQ 3: Do individuals watch television shows that align
with their own expectations about the transition to
parenthood?
H1: Those who say they are exposed to greater
amounts of television that idealize the transition to
parenthood will hold idealized beliefs about the
transition to parenthood.
14. Contributions
Exploring a previously neglected area of
research
Developing a better understanding of why
marital satisfaction declines during the transition
to parenthood
Expecting parents will be more prepared to
buffer the common decline in marital
satisfaction during the transition to
parenthood.
Editor's Notes
Marital satisfaction decreases significantly in the first 5 years of marriage. Over half of divorces occur w/in the first 5 years of marriage
In other words, television is so pervasive that we cannot deny the effects it has on the audience.
According to Wedmed, The Brady Bunch offered an illusory promise of marriage being much easier to maintain than marriages in the real world.
This means that children may be getting expectations about marriage, parenthood, etc. at a very young age. It is already evident and controversial with Disney movies.
children’s television shows may cultivate perceptions about marriage leading to “happily ever after” (Segrin & Nabi, 2006, p. 260).
The same might be true about the transition to parenthood.
