Family constellation and ethnicity: current and lifetime HIV-related risk taking

Article Abstract:

A sample of African-American, Latina and White women in LA were surveyed to analyse the links between economic, social and structural factors and HIV-related risk taking. The findings show distinct differences in the ethnic communities influenced by the nature of the family and the economic position of the women. African-American women faced increased risk because of economic instability which led them to sex outside their primary relationships. Latina women in committed relationships faced risk influenced by the sexual history of their partners. The sexual practices of White women increased their risk.

The Orientation Toward Domestic Labor Questionnaire: exploring dual-earner wives' sense of fairness about family work

Article Abstract:

A study on predicting the perception of fairness of division of labor in dual-earner families was conducted. The study involved 622 dual-earner wives. The findings suggest that wives perception of fairness in the division of household labor can be measured accurately by the Orientation Toward Domestic Labor Questionnaire. The questionnaire also provided some constructs with varying regression and discriminant analyses of the constructs' relation to wives' sense of fairness concerning household labor.
