“…One link between the cultural level of beliefs, values and anxieties and the domestic level of daily practices can be found in the symbolic, social and practical negotiation of parenting (and corresponding child-related) rules and roles. Argyle and Henderson (1985) stress that a rule is a culturally shared, prescriptive expectation regarding the correct way of acting, this in turn resting on a shared belief about the importance of such action. Relationships are, therefore, normative; they instantiate and reproduce cultural values.…”

Some differences between this version and the publisher's version remain. You are advised to consult the publisher's version if you wish to cite from it. 2 Abstract This paper investigates practices of domestic regulation of media within the family, focusing on parental attempts to manage children's access to and use of new media, while also recognising that these have consequences for children's attempts to manage their own access to and use of media, even if this means tactics to evade parental control. Theoretically, the paper seeks to integrate the specific literature on domestic rules and regulation of media use with the broader literature on the rules and roles in social situations, arguing that parental strategies in relation to domestic media reveal both the enactment of and the negotiations over the typically informal and implicit rules and roles in family life. These issues are explored using data from two surveys: (1) the 'Young People, New Media' project surveyed 1300 children and their parents, examining the social, relational and contextual factors that shape the ways in which families develop rules for managing the introduction of the personal computer and the multiplication of television sets, among other new media changes, in the home; (2) the 'UK Children Go Online' project surveyed 1500 children and their parents, updating the picture by examining the introduction of the internet into the family home. On the basis of these data, it is argued that despite the 'newness' of media as they successively arrive in the home, there are considerable consistencies over time in the responses of families, it being the slow-to-change relations between parents and children that shape patterns of domestic regulation and use. KeywordsNew media Parental mediation Children Television Personal computer Internet Social situations 3 New media in the family homeA family eats supper in front of the television, laughing at shared jokes, arguing over who holds the remote control, comfortable on the sofa together. A teenage girl argues with her parents over which video she and her friends are allowed to watch at a forthcoming sleepover party, resulting in her slamming her bedroom door and turning on some loud music. A mother and father cannot decide where to put the new computer in their already-crowded home -does it go best in the living room or their son's bedroom, and what difference will this make to family life? As each new medium successively arrives in the home (radio, television, games machines, personal computer, internet, mobile phone), it attracts widespread public attention, sometimes excited, sometimes anxious. This is expressed in the national media, in political and community fora and, the focus of this article, the attitudes and practices in the home among family members.If the personal computer and its associated innovations (multimedia, digitisation, interact...

“…Whilst family and friendship relations are likely to endorse similar 5 relationship rules (see Argyle et al, 1985), they represent different relational contexts and as 6 such they are likely to be governed by distinct rules reflecting the specific goals or functions 7 of such relationships (Argyle & Henderson, 1985a). In contrast to the friendship relations 8…”

“…Moreover, our findings corroborate the notion that rules in 20 relationships are situational-specific (see e.g., Baxter et al, 2001), coaches and athletes' 21 leadership may vary depending on whether interactions take place in training versus 22 competition. 23 Argyle and his colleagues (Argyle et al, 1985; found that 24 rules within the context of task-focused relationships (e.g., doctor-patient, superior-25 subordinate) contained low endorsement of reward-rules (i.e., rules that provide an exchange 26…”

“…This conjecture needs further investigation. Moreover, 18 it was apparent that the application of both reward and conflict-regulating rules aimed to 19 facilitate the attainment of broader goals (e.g., skill development, performance 20 accomplishment) and the satisfaction of broader needs (e.g., need for intimacy). Thus, such 21 shared-rules are likely to enable both athletes and coaches to meet basic psychological needs 22 (e.g., connectedness, autonomy, competence; Deci &Ryan, 2000) within the sport context and 23 fulfil shared performance goals (e.g., success in the form of an Olympic medal or European 24 title).…”

Anger in the workplace: an emotion script approach to anger episodes between workers and their superiors, co-workers and subordinates

SummaryThe overall aim of this study was to investigate laypeople's accounts of the causes, features, and consequences of workplace anger episodes and to examine similarities and dierences amongst superiors', co-workers' and subordinates' anger experiences. One hundred and seventy-®ve respondents participated in structured interviews about a work-related anger episode with a superior, co-worker, or subordinate. Various features of the anger episodes diered according to the status of the respondent, with superiors angered by morally reprehensible behaviors and job incompetence, co-workers angered by morally reprehensible behaviors and public humiliation, and subordinates angered by unjust treatment. Subordinates were less likely than superiors to confront the anger target and more likely to consider the incident unresolved. Humiliating oences elicited more intense hate than non-humiliating oences; hate was also negatively associated with situational power and with a perceived successful resolution of the anger-eliciting event. Theoretical implications of the results are discussed in relation to the role of power in the experience and expression of anger in the workplace.
