Book excerpt: THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Chart a child's path with less stress and more optimization for healthy habits and future success' Time From age 5 to 12, parenting decisions get more complicated and have lasting consequences. What's the right kind of school? Should they play a sport? When's the right time for a phone? Making these decisions is less about finding the specific answer and more about taking the right approach. Along with these bigger questions, Oster investigates how to navigate the complexity of day-to-day family logistics. The Family Firm is a smart and winning guide to how to think more clearly - and with less ambient stress - about the key decisions of these early years.

Book A Process Model of Family Consumer Decisions

Download or read book A Process Model of Family Consumer Decisions written by Sue L. T. McGregor and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of family decision making centers on consumer behavior (Melson, 1980). However, the researchers in the disciplines of marketing and family sociology, who traditionally studied consumer decision making and family decision making, respectively, have not, to date, awarded the family consumer decision making process the attention it would seem to warrant. Thus, the objective of this research was to model the process that a family as a group goes through, while making a consumer decision. Both the intricacies of the variation in interaction that occurs between family members at different stages of the consumer decision and the effect of the immediate environment on these interactions were given special attention. In summary, the domain of the model is restricted to the study of the family as a multiperson buying unit as it goes through the seven stages of a high involvement, consumer decision. The model is comprised of three major components and is pictorially represented in a nested cup scheme so as to illustrate the systems approach to conceptualizing the study of the family. The outer circle represents the external environment and is comprised of several sets of variables. Within this model, the external environment is viewed as affecting the decision process and family member involvement, with recognition that this latter influence is filtered through the internal environment (family system). The second circle depicts the family as a system and is referred to as the internal environment. It contains numerous sets of variables, several of which contain sub-concepts as well. These internal variables are viewed as individually or collectively having direct influence on the core of the model. The inner core of the model is divided, with the left side depicting the seven stages of the decision process while the right side illustrates family member involvement at each stage. The stages of the decision process are a combination of the decision process component of the EKB model (Engel and Blackwell, 1982) and the concept of the problem solving loop from the Kieren, Vaines and Badir (1982) model. The core of the model is seen to be affected by the external and internal environments as well as by other variables within the core. Definitions of the variables (approximately 120) are grouped according to the three components of the model. Propositions (approximately 250) are ordered into ten sets which in turn are organized according to external, family and process/product categories. A summary matrix supplements the extensive listing of propositions and provides a means of viewing all of the propositions simultaneously. An expert review panel was established and a response sheet was developed, both for the purpose of reviewing and evaluating the model. Panel responses were discussed and the panel's recommendations were either incorporated into the current version of the model in Chapter II or are included in the final chapter as recommendations for future revisions and refinements of the model.

Book The Reinvention of Distinction

Download or read book The Reinvention of Distinction written by Van Nguyen-Marshall and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-17 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering collection brings together an international group of scholars to explore the Vietnamese middle class. From the leisure pursuits of the colonial middle class to the impact of the new urban rich on landscape of the countryside, this interdisciplinary volume explores the ways in which middle classness has been practiced in a wide range of contexts throughout the 20th century and into the 21st. In addition to offering insights into how middle classness was and is constituted and negotiated, this collection illuminates the cultural and social conditions of two distinctive periods in Vietnamese history. Three historical chapters consider how middle class status was experienced and displayed under French colonialism and in 1960s republican. These chapters offer examinations of middle classness through recreation, consumption, and associational life. Six contemporary studies examine the modes of experimentation and practice within middle class urban Vietnam. Still a sensitive topic politically, the contemporary middle class, nascent but increasingly powerful, is exerting a strong impact on the shape of contemporary society and culture, as well as on urban and rural landscapes. This volume offers a series of studies which critically interrogate the practices of those who engage in or aspire to urban middle-class lifestyles in Vietnam both in the past and in the present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors present a new model of the process of family decision-making that takes into account the importance of sex roles.

A major contribution to the study of sexual politics and bargaining within relationships. 'The authors are to be commended for their attempt to bring order to the complexities of family decisioning, and their work should stimulate further research in the area. Their focussing upon couples and families rather than individuals and their extension of the concept of "family" to nontraditional arrangements also are commendable.' -- Journal of Marriage

This book was released on 2002 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ross here presents an original and controversial look at the moral principles that guide parents in making health care decisions for their children, and the role of children in the decision-making process. She opposes the current movement to increase child autonomy, in favor of respect for family autonomy and proposes significant changes in what informed consent allows and requires for pediatric health care decisions. The first systematic medical ethics book that focuses specifically on children's health care, Ross's work has important things to say to health care providers who work with children as well as to ethicists and public policy analysts.

Book Conflict and Decision Making in Close Relationships

Download or read book Conflict and Decision Making in Close Relationships written by Erich Kirchler and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and money are important aspects of the everyday lives of couples. This book focuses on the daily routines of disagreement, conflict and joint decisions on these, and other issues such as work, leisure and children, create in the household. Central to the authors' research is a unique diary study of forty couples, who kept a daily record of their joint decisions over the course of a year. The diaries show how challenging, varied and complex the conflicts and decision making of normal everyday life can be and reveal that goals frequently change during the decision-making process with the result that the final outcome often achieves a goal distinct from the original intention. Furthermore, the dynamics of decision making differ according to the problem at stake, the decision-making history of the couple, and the quality of the partnership. The results of the diary study are discussed within the overall context of current research in the field as a whole, including discussion of joint decision-making case studies, close relationships, decision-making research in general and special research methods. Numerous results of psychological, sociological, economic and consumer behaviour studies are summarised and integrated into a model of household decision-making. This book will be primarily of interest to students and researchers in social psychology and economic psychology, but its interdisciplinary and applied nature will also make it of relevance to professionals working in the fields of family therapy and consumer behaviour.
