Chapter 14 – Families, Lifestyles, and Parenting A Topical Approach to Life-Span Development, 7th edition John W. Santrock Chapter 14 – Families, Lifestyles, and Parenting Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Diversity of Adult Lifestyles Adults today choose many different lifestyles and forms of families United States has more marriages and remarriages, divorces, short-term cohabitation relationships than most countries Dramatic rise in percentage of single adults Rising rates of cohabitation and trend toward postponing marriage Single adults are often stereotyped Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Diversity of Adult Lifestyles Cohabitation Living together in a sexual relationship without being married Number of cohabitating couples in U.S. has increased dramatically since 1970s More than 75% of adults cohabitate prior to getting married Cohabitation as a precursor to marriage or ongoing lifestyle In U.S., cohabitating arrangements tend to be short-lived Fewer than 1 out of 5 last for five years Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Diversity of Adult Lifestyles Young adults’ reasons to cohabitate: Spend time together Share expenses Evaluate compatibility In cohabitating relationships, men are more concerned with loss of freedom while women are more concerned about delays in getting married Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Diversity of Adult Lifestyles Couples who cohabitate face problems: Disapproval from parents and other family members Difficulty owning property jointly Uncertain legal rights concerning dissolution of relationship Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Diversity of Adult Lifestyles Lower rates of marital satisfaction and higher rates of divorce in couples who live together before getting married Less traditional lifestyles may attract less conventional individuals who are not great believers in marriage Cohabitation may change attitudes and habits in ways that increase likelihood of divorce Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Diversity of Adult Lifestyles Majority of Americans do still get married Marriage’s role in signaling a successful social life to family and friends Many young adults still plan to marry Changes in percentages of “very happy” marriages over time Married men consistently report being happier than married women Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Marriages Successful Types Unsuccessful Types Validating Volatile Avoidant Unsuccessful Types Hostile Engaged Hostile Detached Divorce Economic Effects Social Support

Diversity in Adult Lifestyles Predictors of success in marriage: Establishing love maps Nurturing, fondness, and admiration Turning toward each other instead of away Letting your partner influence you Overcoming gridlock Creating shared meaning Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Diversity in Adult Lifestyles Premarital education occurs in groups and focuses on relationship advice Programs range from several hours to 20 hours Recommended 6 months to 1 year before wedding Premarital education linked to higher level of marital satisfaction, commitment to spouse, lower level of destructive marital conflict, lower likelihood of divorce Beneficial for first and second marriages Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Diversity in Adult Lifestyles Some marriages that were difficult and rocky during early adulthood improve in middle adulthood Partners develop a deep and solid foundation to anchor relationship In middle adulthood, partners experience fewer financial worries, less housework and chores, more time with each other Engaging in mutual activities linked with viewing marriage more positively Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Diversity in Adult Lifestyles In midlife, most married individuals voice satisfaction with being married Higher levels of emotional intimacy skills in early twenties predict well-adjusted marriages in middle age In late adulthood, married individuals are happier, less distressed, and live longer than singles Older adults more satisfied with marriages than young or middle-aged adults Married individuals more likely to care for a sick partner with limited health conditions Stress of caring for spouse places demands on intimacy Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Diversity of Adult Lifestyles United States has one of the highest divorce rates in the world Factors that increase likelihood of divorce: Youthful marriages, low education level, low income, no religious affiliation, parents who are divorced, having a baby before marriage Alcoholism, psychological problems, domestic violence, infidelity, inadequate division of household labor Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014 Parenting Age of having children has been increasing over time Birth control is more common practice Marrying later and having children later or not at all Advantages of having children early (in twenties): More physical energy Fewer medical problems with pregnancy and childbirth Fewer built-up expectations for children Problems? Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014 Parenting Baumrind’s parenting styles: Authoritarian parenting Authoritative parenting Neglectful parenting Indulgent parenting Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014 Parenting Consequences of child maltreatment: Poor emotional regulation Attachment problems Problems in peer relations Difficulty adapting to school Psychological problems, such as depression and delinquency During adult years, individuals who were maltreated as children are more likely to experience physical, emotional, and sexual problems Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014 Parenting Parent-child attachment remains important Mothers maintain closer emotional ties with adolescents than fathers, especially with daughters Parent-adolescent conflict escalates during early adolescence Conflict usually involves everyday issues of family life Rarely involve major dilemmas, such as drugs and delinquency Conflicts become less frequent during late adolescence Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014 Parenting Children in divorced families more likely to experience: Academic problems Internalized and externalized problems Less socially responsible Less competent intimate relationships Drop out of school Become sexually active earlier Take drugs, associate with antisocial peers, low self-esteem Less secure attachment as young adults Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Other Family Relationships Many adults become grandparents in middle age Grandmothers have more frequent contact than grandfathers Meanings attached to being grandparent: Source of biological reward and continuity Source of emotional fulfillment Remote role Divorce, adolescent pregnancy, drug use by parents among reasons grandparents are thrust back into parenting role Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Other Family Relationships Empty nest syndrome When all children leave parental home Marital couple has more time to pursue careers and other interests and more time for each other Refilling of empty nest linked to uncertain economic climate Adult children return to live at home Middle generation provides support for younger generation, even if nest is bare Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014

Other Family Relationships Middle-aged adults have been described as “sandwich,” “squeezed,” or “overload” generation Responsibilities to adolescent and young adult children and to aging parents Stress experienced when elderly parents become ill and die When middle-aged adults have parents with disability, their support increases Women have important role in maintaining family relationships across generations Copyright McGraw-Hill Education, 2014
