Parental perceptions of child development among low-income Mexican American families

Article Abstract:

A study was undertaken to evaluate the parental perceptions of child development among low-income Mexican American parents and determine the factors dominating the development of their children. Differences in parental perceptions on child development among Hispanics were associated with extent of acculturation, socioeconomic status and educational level. Results revealed that parents expect their children to be well-educated and that they have a primary responsibility on the well-being of their children. Physical changes involved in child development were also significant.

Predictors of family functioning among clergy and spouses: influences of social context and perceptions of work-related stressors

Article Abstract:

A study of 136 clergy families seeks to identify predictors of family functioning, including perceptions of social context stressors. The findings suggest that perceptions of social context stressors affected family functioning, although no single stressor influenced all of the 12 family functioning dimensions. However, many areas of family functioning in both husbands and wives were affected by stressors such as lack of social support, mobility, and family boundary intrusiveness.
