“…In most studies, mothers were the main respondents [ 19 ], while some studies included fathers or reported paternal data separately [ 21 ]. Currently, men are involved more in childcare than in the past [ 22 , 23 ]. It is becoming more important to understand fathers’ roles in improving children’s MVPA participation because the association between paternal support for PA and children’s MVPA remains unclear.…”

Background Most studies of associations between parental support behaviours for physical activity (PA) and children’s moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) have been conducted in developed countries, and they have focused on maternal or parental support behaviours. Children’s MVPA time (i.e., weekdays vs. weekends) has not been adequately differentiated. This paper investigated the associations of paternal and maternal support behaviours for PA with the proportion of children who met the MVPA recommendations on weekdays and weekends in China. Methods Cross-sectional data of 517 father–child dyads and 1422 mother–child dyads were analysed. The children recorded PA diaries on 7 consecutive days to assess their MVPA time. The father or mother completed a questionnaire concerning their support for children’s PA. Multivariate logistic regression was used to investigate the independent effects of paternal and maternal support behaviours for PA on whether children met the MVPA recommendations for weekdays, weekends, and the whole week. Results Significantly fewer children met the MVPA recommendations on weekends (37.8%) than on weekdays (62.8%). Higher paternal (odds ratio [OR] = 1.098, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.009–1.195) and maternal (OR = 1.076, 95% CI: 1.021–1.134) total support behaviour scores were associated with higher odds of children meeting the MVPA recommendations on weekends, after controlling for covariates. Paternal PA knowledge-sharing with the child was positively associated with children meeting the MVPA recommendations on weekends (OR = 1.319, 95% CI: 1.055–1.649); it tended to be associated with children meeting the MVPA recommendations on weekdays and throughout the week, although these associations were not statistically significant. Maternal reservation of PA time for the child was positively associated with a higher likelihood of children meeting the MVPA recommendations on weekdays (OR = 1.160, 95% CI: 1.025–1.313), weekends (OR = 1.241, 95% CI: 1.097–1.403), and throughout the week (OR = 1.214, 95% CI: 1.076–1.369). Conclusions Paternal and maternal support behaviours for PA should be enhanced on weekends to increase children’s MVPA. Fathers should share PA knowledge with children and mothers should reserve PA time for children every day.

“…“I was kind of getting to the point where, you know, we have been together almost 4 years, even though we'd only been living together really officially a year… and I feel like we were in a lull, because we were still in that boyfriend‐girlfriend state that we were in in college,” she stated. “And we're both out of it [college] now, and we're both more into adult roles with having jobs and now having two dogs, and it just seemed like the next step, and I just wanted to make sure it was the next step in his mind.” Even though the women in our sample often held jobs that did not have the greatest earnings potential, women like Andrea felt emotionally ready for the relationship to progress—though men continued to feel pressure to be the dominant provider (Gerson, 2009).…”

“…But controlling power was more evident among the service class, suggesting that women's ability to attain desired goals was often thwarted by hegemonic norms regarding male prerogatives—notwithstanding the growing convergence in men's and women's roles in the paid labor force (Gerson, 2009). Both women and men referenced how women's desires to advance relationships were frustrated.…”

Assessing the deinstitutionalization of marriage thesis: Changes in the meaning of cohabitation over the relationship life course

Objective: We assess Cherlin's deinstitutionalization of marriage thesis by examining the meaning couples ascribe to their cohabiting unions, how this differs between partners and by social class, and over the relationship life course. Background: Cohabitation is often portrayed as a precursor to marriage. Declining shares of cohabitations that transition into marriage challenge this presumption. Method: Data are from in-depth interviews conducted with a class-diverse sample of 61 different-gender cohabiting couples (n = 122 individuals). We utilize open, axial, and selective coding to analyze our data. Results: Cohabitation initially serves largely as a form of intensive dating, though over time many respondents described relationships that intensified to a trial for or a precursor to marriage. Maturation, relative comparisons with others' life course transitions, parenthood desires, and conforming to societal expectations abetted intensification, whereas discord-about domestic and fiscal responsibilities, sex, and life goals-and domestic abuse led to de-escalation, with many in this category "waiting to break up." Relationship intensification among the middle-class highlighted continued adherence to the hegemony of marriage, supporting Cherlin's thesis about developmental change. Less advantaged cohabitors more often viewed cohabitation and marriage as equivalent, supporting transformational change. Gendered enactments both challenged and supported existing institutional norms. Conclusion: In the early 21st century, cohabitation is part of the developmental change reshaping marriage among the middle-class, but plays a more transformational role among the less advantaged, where the institution's hold has weakened.

Background: Most studies about parental support behaviors for physical activity (PA) on children’s moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) were conducted in developed countries, and most of them focused on mother’s or parent’s (with no differentiation between father’s or mother’s) support behaviors. Besides, children’s MVPA time interval was not differentiated adequately. This paper aimed at investigating the associations between paternal and maternal support behaviors for PA, and children’s MVPA on weekdays, weekends and the whole week in China.Methods: Cross-sectional data of 517 father-child dyads and 1,422 mother-child dyads were analyzed. Children’s consecutive 7-day PA diary were recorded to assess their MVPA time, and MVPA time on weekdays, weekends and the whole week were further calculated, respectively. Father or mother completed a questionnaire on their support behaviors for children’s PA. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to investigate the independent effect of paternal and maternal support behaviors for PA on children’s meeting MVPA recommendation on weekdays, weekends and the whole week, respectively.Results: The proportion of children’s meeting MVPA recommendation on weekends (37.8%) was significantly lower than that on weekdays (62.8%). Higher paternal (OR[95%CI]:1.098[1.009,1.195]) and maternal (OR[95%CI]:1.076[1.021,1.134]) total scores of support behaviors for PA were associated with children’s higher odds of meeting MVPA recommendation on weekends, after controlling for covariates. Paternal sharing PA knowledge with child was significantly associated with children’s meeting MVPA recommendation on weekends (OR[95%CI]:1.319[1.055,1.649]), and marginally associated with children’s meeting MVPA recommendation on weekdays (OR[95%CI]:1.220[0.974,1.528], P=0.084) and on the whole week (OR[95%CI]:1.218[0.977,1.519], P=0.080). Maternal reserving PA time for child was associated with children’s higher likelihood of meeting MVPA recommendation on weekdays (OR[95%CI]:1.160[1.025,1.313]), weekends (OR[95%CI]:1.241[1.097,1.403]) and the whole week (OR[95%CI]:1.214[1.076,1.369]), respectively.Conclusions: On weekends, paternal and maternal total support behaviors for PA deserves more practices for promoting children’s MVPA. To promote children’s MVPA on weekdays, weekends and the whole week, father’s sharing PA knowledge with child and mother’s reserving PA time for child are recommended. Longitudinal researches are needed to verify the effect of paternal and maternal support behaviors on children’s MVPA.
