“…Only on one occasion did a participant discuss women's traditional rural leisure activities such as quilting or crafts. This echoes Ames, Brosi, and Damiano-Teixeira's (2006) findings that rural women struggle to establish social supports in their community because of a lack of time due to domestic and employment responsibilities. Moreover, the women in this study and in Ames et al's study suggested that they learned to adapt and cope with social isolation and enjoy what rural life had to offer.…”

This paper examines the social meanings of rural life and how these meanings shape farm women's perspectives and experiences of family leisure. Based on qualitative interviews with a purposively selected group of farm women in Canada, the findings call attention to the values related to the social and physical context of family leisure activities on the farm and the integration of work, family and leisure. The role of leisure as a medium to remain connected to their rural heritage while preparing children for a nonfarming way of life was also significant. Emphasis is placed on the contradictory nature of family leisure and how family leisure is a window into the broader social, political and economic changes affecting rural farm life.

“…Although access to and choices in the child-care subsidy system vary greatly across states, they are often limited by relatively low income-eligibility cutoffs, sizable copayments, and below-market reimbursement rates (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2010). Care options in the evenings and weekends are especially limited, as are supports for combining different types of care to meet both parental employment and child development needs (e.g., part-week relative care with part-week center care; Adams & Rohacek, 2002;Ames et al, 2006). Addressing these gaps in the market might help parents select child care that meets their definitions of quality and also supports their mental health.…”

Child Care and Mothers' Mental Health: Is High-Quality Care Associated With Fewer Depressive Symptoms?Finding high-quality child care may pose financial and logistical challenges and create ongoing emotional strains for some mothers. We use the Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development to ask (a) are childcare settings that mothers select on the basis of their own perceptions of quality rated more highly by independent observers (and more often recommended by mothers to friends) than settings that mothers selected for other reasons? (b) Do mothers report fewer depressive symptoms when they use highquality care, as they perceive it, as assessed by independent observers and as indicated by their likelihood of recommending it? We find that mothers' reports coincide with independent observers' ratings in some respects but diverge

“…The concept of elite interviews originated from the study of politics and policy-making (Dexter, 1969(Dexter, , 1970. As a result of greater emphasis on understanding decision-making processes and policy impacts and perceptions, it has subsequently become popular as a qualitative research method in the social sciences and is gaining interest amongst tourism and business management researchers, especially among graduate students (Ames, Brosi, & Damiano-Teixeira, 2006;Hall, 2011a;Lennon & Graham, 2001;Mak, 2011;Moswete & Darley, 2012;Pridham, 1999;Sharp, 2003).…”

The elite interview method has been applied to the study of politics and policy-making and to other social and organisational contexts, although it has been relatively little applied in a formal fashion in tourism research. Nevertheless it is a method that has the potential of enhancing the quality and quantity of research data given the power and influence of elite subjects. The conduct of elite interviews suggests that there are qualitatively different aspects in interviewing 'up' as compared to interviewing 'across' or 'down'. The article provides a review of some of the major issues involved in the conduct of elite interviews and highlights some of the tactics that researchers may use in the interview process as well as some of the potential ethical and publishing constraints. Even though there are a number of potential methodological challenges in using this method it provides a valuable approach in tourism research, especially studies that aim to understand decision-making processes, policy-making and perceptions. It is shown that individual ingenuity and reflexivity are required in order to overcome some of the challenges reported in existing studies.
