Book excerpt: What's the most common family form today? In what ways can we define "family" that ensure it is inclusive of all family forms? Despite the current diverse nature of family forms, which functions are fulfilled by the family regardless of its makeup> In what ways do family members function to nurture and control each other through their changing roles and rules to maintain their family identity? Family Communication examines the role communication plays in family development and maintenance--from a consideration of what constitutes a "family" (according to various governmental, religious, and social science orientations), to the initiation of dating relationships and romantic commitment, to adding and raising socio-emotionally competent children. Also explored are the roles that communication plays in maintaining intimacy and closeness in the family and in managing family conflicts and tensions. In addition, unique emphasis is given to how cognitions and emotions influence communication outcomes in the family. Despite the diversity of family forms today, families all share one thing in common--they all include some form of nurturing and control: support and development and behavior control and limitations; nurturing communication to encourage intimacy development and maintenance and controlling communication to resolve conflict and change undesirable behavior. By organizing the study of family communication around the concepts of nurturing and control, author Beth Le Poire emphasizes the central role that communication plays in both families if origin and newly formed families.

Book excerpt: Nurturing Mobilities employs new empirical material and an innovative theoretical framing to bring new clarity to why families travel today – and what happens when they do. The authors argue that an imperative to ‘think with mobility’ and to ‘aspire to be mobile’ shapes identities, futures, and family practices. Drawing on data that examines family travel practices – typically short-term trips – across the working-, middle-, and globally mobile middle-classes, Nurturing Mobilities describes how families travel, why they travel, and the role young family members play in curating family travel. Vitally, it examines the two biggest contemporary issues in global mobility: COVID-19 and climate change. How has COVID-19 changed travel motivations in a world beset by lockdowns and diminished finances? How are concerns around climate change, and engagements with global citizenship education, changing family travel practices? Nurturing Mobilities illuminates new ways in which social class divergence is forged through movements across borders. The authors’ theoretically inter-disciplinary approach delivers a full analysis of the apparently divergent processes that differentiate family travel along social class lines, yet also allow travel to play a core role in social mobility. This book is a vital resource for scholars and students studying mobility, globalisation, social class, and climate change engagement.

Book excerpt: Family Communication organizes the study of family communication around the concepts of nurturing and control which allows the consideration of communication in all family relationships within all family forms. The concepts of nurturing and control allow us a unique frame by which to organize the traditional developmental factors of relationship development, marriage, adding children, and raising socio-emotionally competent children. In addition, the concepts of nurturing and control allow us to understand the uniquely communicative family features of intimacy and conflict and their relationship to marital and family satisfaction. Further, nurturing and control are evident in families which include violence, substance abuse, eating disorders and depression. Key Features: Inclusive treatment of ALL family forms: traditional nuclear; non-traditional nuclear (i.e., working moms); bi-nuclear families (families where children live in two homes with one biological parent and one non-biological parent); cohabitation, single-parent households; step-family and blended configurations; gay families; couples with no children; and extended families Explores the forces-governmental, religious, media influences, and social science research-that cause us to assume most families are traditional and nuclear, using biological, legal, and sociological definitions Organizing theme and theories: Roles theory, family systems theory, and rules theory are used throughout, using the organizing scheme of nurture/control so students can better understand, relate to, and apply the material Unique material: Development of parental attachment is fully discussed, showing how nurturing and controlling communication processes encourage socio-emotional competence in children Unique material: The explication of a new family communication theory called Inconsistent Nurturing as Control Theory, which explores the ways in which fam

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating look at the evolution of behavioral science, the revolutionary way it’s changing the way we live, and how nurturing environments can increase people’s well-being in virtually every aspect of our society, from early childhood education to corporate practices. If you want to know how you can help create a better world, read this book. What if there were a way to prevent criminal behavior, mental illness, drug abuse, poverty, and violence? Written by behavioral scientist Tony Biglan, and based on his ongoing research at the Oregon Research Institute, The Nurture Effect offers evidence-based interventions that can prevent many of the psychological and behavioral problems that plague our society. For decades, behavioral scientists have investigated the role our environment plays in shaping who we are, and their research shows that we now have the power within our own hands to reduce violence, improve cognitive development in our children, increase levels of education and income, and even prevent future criminal behaviors. By cultivating a positive environment in all aspects of society—from the home, to the classroom, and beyond—we can ensure that young people arrive at adulthood with the skills, interests, assets, and habits needed to live healthy, happy, and productive lives. The Nurture Effect details over forty years of research in the behavioral sciences, as well as the author’s own research. Biglan illustrates how his findings lay the framework for a model of societal change that has the potential to reverberate through all environments within society.
