Family Influence on Adolescent Sexual Behaviour in South Africa

Family Influence on Adolescent Sexual Behaviour in South Africa by Emma Shuvai Chikovore , R. Sooryamoorthy
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 250 Pages | ISBN : 3031503767 | 8.5 MB

This book explores the connection between family structure and circumstances, parental engagement, and adolescent sexual behavior. Given that South Africa contains the highest portion of the global HIV epidemic within a single country, a comprehensive, book-length investigation into—sometimes risky—adolescent sexual behaviour is necessary. Drawing from the longitudinal Cape Area Panel Study (CAPS) of more than 4,000 adolescents between the ages of fourteen and twenty-two, as well as qualitative interviews and focus group discussions with parents and adolescents, this study pioneers empirical investigation of adolescent sexual behavior within the intricate framework of family dynamics in South Africa.

Biographical Life Course Research: Studying the Biography-History Dynamic by Ann Nilsen
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 186 Pages | ISBN : 3031447166 | 4 MB

This book explores an approach that connects individual and societal processes throughout history and shifting trends in sociological perspectives, influenced by C. Wright Mills’ theories of time and temporality. It traces its origins from American pragmatist thought and Chicago qualitative sociology in the early 20th century to the revival of biographical research in European and American sociology during the 1970s. The book shows empirical studies from this vibrant research approach can bridge methodological gaps between qualitative and quantitative biographical studies, applicable to various topics like class, gender, ethnicity, and intergenerational dimensions.

Handling of Unyielding Complaints in China: Process Dynamics and Outcomes

Handling of Unyielding Complaints in China: Process Dynamics and Outcomes by Xiaowei Gui
English | EPUB | 2022 | 206 Pages | ISBN : 9811959234 | 0.4 MB

This book provides a framework of protest handling which redirects our attention away from the strength of protesters and towards the constraints of state power, drawing on detailed case studies randomly collected in 7 provinces in China over the last decade. It finds that the challenges of retaining legitimacy, the propensity for responsiveness, the contradictions of the petition system, and the dynamics of elite alignments are key elements shaping the fate of nail-like petitions. A nail-like person refers to the individual who looks like a stubborn nail on a plank of wood that cannot be easily hammered down. His persistent protest thus is theoretically puzzling, since such individual-based protest is assumed to be too weak to effectively challenge a powerful authoritarian regime. Although this phenomenon is widely observed in China, it is ignored by current studies on collective action.
