Grandmothers and Coresident Grandchildren

Abstract: This article reports findings of a national study examining characteristics of coresident grandmothers and their grandchildren between 1967 and 1992 (n = 1099). Findings suggested that coresident grandmotherhood may be more prevalent than previously indicated, and of longer duration, over the life course. Among the study sample of ever coresident grandmothers (n = 753), age, income status (having an income less than 50% of the median family income), and race were found to be negatively correlated with coresidency in 1992, while number of children and years of coresident grandparenthood were found to be positively related to coresidency. Among the study sample of coresident families in 1992 (n = 285), age and income status were found to be negatively correlated with the likelihood of living in a three-generation household, while number of coresident grandchildren and marital status (being single) were found to be positively correlated with three-generation households. In addition, sizable minorities of bot...

Intrapsychic effects of stigma: a process of breakdown and reconstruction of social reality.

Abstract: Being stigmatized has intrapsychic consequences for the individual Two aspects of the process by which these consequences occur are described: a breakdown of the personAEs systems of interpretation and valuation, which may leas to reality shock; and the reconstruction of those systems that take into account the stigmatized characteristic The latter aspect is associated with frequently noted sequels to stigma, including identity reconstruction, changes in affinitive patterns, and revisions of long-range plans and goals Key elements in both major aspects are the master-status character of stigma or, in other words, its being a status that takes precedence over all other; the widespread knowledge of stereotypes associated with a given stigma; and the actual and imagined responses of others The data from an ethnographic study of homosexual community, but the interapsychic processes described may occur in conjunction with any stigma acquired after normative socialization, including stigmas resulting for a c

The Impact of Alcohol on Negotiator Behavior: Experimental Evidence

Abstract: Business-related drinking is an important organizational and managerial activity with particular relevance to the negotiation process. This paper investigates the influence of a moderate amount of alcohol on negotiator behavior and negotiated outcomes. We conducted 2 negotiation studies involving inebriated and sober participants, and found that inebriated negotiators used more aggressive tactics, made more mistakes, and reached less integrative agreements than did sober negotiators. Across both studies, we found that inebriated negotiators were unaware that alcohol had affected their negotiations.

Association of acculturation with drinking games among Hispanic college students.

Abstract: Objective: This cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate which components of acculturation relate to drinking games participation among Hispanic college students. We also sought to examine whether the relationships between acculturation and drinking games would differ from the associations between acculturation and other alcohol-related outcomes. Method: A sample of 1,397 Hispanic students aged 18–25 (75% women; 77% US-born) from 30 US colleges and universities completed a confidential online survey. Results: Associations among acculturative processes, drinking games participation, general alcohol consumption, and negative drinking consequences differed across gender. Most significant findings emerged in the domain of cultural practices. For women, US cultural practices were associated with greater general alcohol consumption, drinking games frequency, and amount of alcohol consumed while gaming, whereas for men, US cultural practices were associated with general alcohol consumption and ...
