The Relationship

This article explains why a consensus emerged in the 1950s that courts should be satisfied with the arrangements made for children before parental divorce was granted. I locate this within an evolving child welfare landscape in the context of high levels of divorce in England. The issues at stake were the relationship of child welfare to parental marital status, how this should be established in individual cases, and the legitimacy and boundaries of state intervention in divorce cases. Such developments were absent in Scotland, where the Scottish judiciary believed in upholding the autonomy of parents to make their own arrangements.

"The object of the Academy shall be to foster and stimulate interest in pediatrics and correlate all aspects of the work for the welfare of children that properly come within the scope of pediatrics. The Academy shall endeavor to establish and maitain the highest possible standards for pediatric education in medical schools and hospitals, pediatric practice and research . . . to maintain the dignity and efficiency of pediatric practice in its relationship to public welfare." The above quotation gives the real object of our organization as formulated by those who wrote our Constitution. The Executive Board believes this object to be the aim to which we are pledged. Details will be described in later columns, for we are organized to carry this out. The Academy will continue to correlate all pediatric aspects of the work for the welfare of children. As a society we will seek to maintain the highest possible standards for pediatric education. We will point out the relationship of pediatric practice to public welfare. By means of strong national committees dealing with child health and by reason of the survey and its subsequent interpretation and by working with other groups interested in child welfare, we have already gone a long way in blazing a trail to that goal our founders envisioned. We have no intention of losing what has been gained nor do we intend to lose our leadership in child welfare. Rather we propose to enhance it. Our membership is composed in large measure of practitioners.

Effect Of Age

The study tested the relationship of reported intimacy and dominance gestures by women in a corporate setting. The effect of age and marital status was also examined. The reported frequencies of the two types of gestures were uncorrelated ( r = .28). However, dominance was reported more frequently ( M = 9.85, SD = 1.8) than sexual intimacy ( M = 5.76, SD = 3.1). The 34 younger women reported more dominance and less sexual intimacy than the 48 older women. Single persons reported being targets of more dominance gestures than the married, but the younger women reported less sexual intimacy. Possible explanations for the findings are discussed.

*This paper uses materials from the World Values Survey and the EuropeanValues Study from 2006-2014 to study the relationship of gender and maritalstatus to life satisfaction. In an analysis of 103,217 respondents from 81nations I find that while there do not seem to be main effects of gender onlife satisfaction – that is, women are no more or less satisfied with theirlives than are men -- gender moderates the effects of geographical region,age, employment status, education, religious affiliation, and attendance ofreligious services on life satisfaction. In particular, there aresubstantial differences in the effects of marital status on lifesatisfaction by gender. The gender differences in most effects are sosubstantial that I argue that it makes no sense to analyze lifesatisfaction data without performing separate analyses by gender. *

The Relationship

In order to better understand the phenomenon of the quality of different types of close relationships of adults, we have investigated several determinants which define them more clearly. We focused on the relational differences of the respondents according to several sociodemographic (age, gender, employment, marital status and children) and environmental factors (structure and relationships in the family). A total of 400 males and females, ranging from 19 to 51 years, completed a general questionnaire. It collected the data related to sociodemographic and environmental characteristics, as well as the Social Relations Network Inventory (NRI), which assessed the quality of five types of close relationships. The results indicate significant differences between the respondents in the quality of individual close relationships, based on the factors of age, gender, employment, marital status and parenthood, as well as according to the factors of the quality of family relations and parental marital status. The identified differences are particularly pronounced in terms of the quality of the relationship with the mother and the quality of the relationship with the friend, which is explained by the characteristic nature of these relationships, as well as the developmental roles and tasks of the adulthood.

This chapter assesses the issue of Jews in the Urzędy Bezpieczeństwa (Polish security apparatus, UB), which includes that of the relationship of Jews to communism as well as of Poles to Jews, and also perhaps of Jews to Poles. The disproportionate number of Jews in the communist movement and in radical leftist movements in general is unquestioned, though the time frame is difficult to define. From a certain moment, and certainly from the 1950s, there was an outflow of Jews from these movements rather than the reverse. Moreover, only a minority of Jews laid claim to the possibility of entry. In spite of this, and regardless of their many and varied motivations, this disproportionate number influenced the attitude of Poles and other nationalities towards Jews in general, and was at times the subject of controversy among Jews themselves. The chapter then looks at the Jewish participation in the Polish security apparatus in the years 1944-56.

The article covers the relationship of the citizens with the European Union and its predecessors since the beginnings of the European integration in the 1950s. It dis­tinguishes the period of the unquestioned citizen during the 1950s and 1960s, the period of the questioned and mobilized citizen since the 1970s and the period of the active citizen since around the turn the of century, in looking at European elec­tions, referendums, European movements, interest organizations, regular European opinion polls, complaints by citizens at the European Parliament, at the European Commission and at the European ombudsman and legal proceedings by citizens at the European Court in Luxemburg. In addition, the article looks at the change be­tween periods of trust and periods of distrust by citizens in the European institu­tions since the 1950s. It argues that the trend towards the mobilized and active citi­zen includes an eventual strong rise of distrust in periods of crisis, but also by a return of trust by the citizens even in difficult periods such as the recent Covid19 pandemic.
