The adventure stories that boys enjoy reading often depict male characters in their exposed becoming and dreaming. Boys are drawn to these adventuring characters in part because such characters portray a masculinity that feels more human than the otherwise stoic masculine norms of Western culture. Taking a cue from adventure literature, this paper addresses adventure and the dreaming spirit as avenues of self-understanding in boyhood. In adventure, this sense of exposure is not experienced in relation to shame but in relation to possibility. Adventure and the dreaming spirit are both motifs that lend themselves to Christian living. Viewing selfhood as adventure can provide boys with a self-concept that feels human. Boys do not always have friendships of mutual trust in their lives where they feel secure addressing their becoming and dreaming. Persons in pastoral roles can offer this kind of accompanying and affirming friendship to boys in their becoming.
 
Adolescent and young adult (AYA) siblings of individuals with autism experience unique challenges that can promote both growth and emotional maladjustment. This study explored sibling and parent reports of siblings’ lived experiences and identified learning, stressors, and concerns from those experiences. 20 neurotypical (NT) AYA siblings (ages 13–24), and 21 parents were interviewed. Themes that emerged from the data analysis included: (1) learning, empathy, and compassion (2) relationship between the degree of functional impairment and the nature of the sibling relationship; (3) reluctance to share information about siblings with peers; (4) hypervigilance associated with unpredictable behavior; (5) worries and concerns about the future. These findings contribute to the existing literature on the impact and nature of neurotypical siblings’ lived experience.
 
 
 
Sibling Relationships: Being Connected and Related - The Palgrave Handbook of Family Sociology in Europe @ 2021-01-01
This chapter is about siblingship and the necessary analytical considerations when studying this phenomenon. Inspired by family and childhood research, and drawing on an empirical qualitative study in Denmark exploring children’s ways of understanding and practising siblingship, we argue for an approach that carefully examines the form of family and the everyday practices and emotional dynamics constituting contemporary sibling relationships. Ordinary undertakings, such as sharing objects, commuting between households, doing chores and spending spare time together, evoke composite feelings of togetherness and obligation, relatedness and doubt, frustration and longing which reflect tensions between ideals and realities of family life. There is a need for a new analytic approach to siblingship moving beyond conceptualisations rooted in the nuclear family model to reflect the various compositions of contemporary families.
 
 
 
Child- and Youth-Headed Households: An Alternative Solution to Chaotic Family Situations in Post-genocide Rwandan Society - Psychosocial Well-Being and Mental Health of Individuals in Marital and in Family Relationships in Pre- and Post-Genocide Rwanda @ 2021-01-01
This chapter discusses conflict and dissension in youth-headed households in post-genocide Rwanda. Data from seven focus group discussions were collected with the heads of forty-one youth-headed households. Conflict and dissension are common in youth-headed households. It is triggered by poor communication and absence of positive interaction between members. Participants reported feeling psychological distress, social isolation, lack of motivation, and suicidal thoughts. Where there is conflict, participants turn to their own friends or their parents’ friends for support. Participants also reported needing economic assistance and psychosocial support. Based on the focus group interviews, the researcher concludes that it would be beneficial to set up specific community-based structures that could deal with and regulate all issues of daily life that the youth-headed households are faced with. The researcher recommends that the training of youth-headed households on how to take on family responsibilities become a national policy.
 
Introduction - The Palgrave Handbook of Family Sociology in Europe @ 2021-01-01
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, new questions and research topics, and need for novel approaches and methodologies are constantly emerging in family sociology studies. The aim of The Palgrave Handbook of Family Sociology in Europe is to provide an overview of topical themes and current developments in this research field in order to better understand family and intimate lives in contemporary European societies. The chapter introduces and narrowly discusses the main topics covered in the Handbook: researching families and intimate lives, including theoretical and methodological trends; welfare state and family policy regimes; families as relationships; parental arrangements, parenting and child well-being; family lives in the mass migration context; family trajectories and (un)linking lives over time and place.
 
 
 
The likelihood ratio (LR) method is commonly used to determine kinship in civil, criminal, or forensic cases. For the past 15 years, our research group has also applied LR to ancient STR data and obtained kinship results for collections of graves or necropolises. Although we were able to reconstruct large genealogies, some pairs of individuals showed ambiguous results. Second-degree relationships, half-sibling pairs for example, were often inconsistent with detected first-degree relationships, such as parent/child or brother/sister pairs. We therefore set about providing empirical estimations of the error rates for the LR method in living populations with STR allelic diversities comparable to that of the ancient populations we had previously studied. We collected biological samples in the field in North-Eastern Siberia and West Africa and studied more than 800 pairs of STR profiles from individuals with known relationships. Because commercial STR panels were constructed for specific regions (namely Europe and North America), their allelic makeup showed a significant deficit in diversity when compared to European populations, replicating a situation often faced in ancient DNA studies. We assessed the capacity of the LR method to confirm known relationships (effectiveness) and its capacity to detect those relationships (reliability). Concerns over the effectiveness of LR determinations are mostly an issue in forensic studies, while the reliability of the detection of kinship is an issue for the study of necropolises or other large gatherings of unidentified individuals, such as disaster victims or mass graves. We show that the application of LR to both test populations highlights specific issues (both false positives and false negatives) that prevent the confirmation of second-degree kinship or even full siblingship in small populations. Up to 29% of detected full sibling relationships were either overestimated half-sibling relationships or underestimated parent-offspring relationships. The error rate for detected half-sibling relationships was even higher, reaching 41%. Only parent-offspring pairs were reliably detected or confirmed. This implies that, in populations that are small, ill-defined, or for which the STR loci analyzed are inappropriate, an examiner might not be able to distinguish a pair of full siblings from a pair of half-siblings. Furthermore, half-sibling pairs might be overlooked altogether, an issue that is exacerbated by the common confusion, in many languages and cultures, between half-siblings and full siblings. Consequently, in the study of ancient populations, human remains of unknown origins, or poorly surveyed modern populations, we recommend a conservative approach to kinship determined by LR. Next-generation sequencing data should be used when possible, but the costs and technology involved might be prohibitive. Therefore, in potentially contentious situations or cases lacking sufficient external information, uniparental markers should be analyzed: ideally, complete mitochondrial genomes and Y-chromosome haplotypes (STR, SNP, and/or sequencing).
