Nadine and Sarah’s responses below: 1. Nadine- my mother doesn’t inter directly, but she wants her to look nice. She gives her opinion about what she thinks they can wear. Doesn’t care how her hair looks. Father- doesn’t interfer but she knows that he doesn’t like her wearing shorts Sara- mom doesn’t have an expectations, because its her own choice. Ofcourse she wants her to have a nicer style in front of family or friends, but gives opinion. Father- general conclusion that every place has its place, like for school she can wear shorts anso fourth 2. Nadine- her mom doesn’t have an expectation, you have to choice your own future. Her mom said not all of her friends can be her close friends but her father wants her to be with nice friends. – father- he wants her to be a doctor but she loves to be a teacher he doesn’t interfere. Sara- teenagers is a sensitive time period, so her mom advised her who to be friends with. She thinks her father is more complicated about this subject. Her father has more expectation, he wants to know everything about them 3. Nadine- her mother has no rule or expectation Sara- explicit rule- he doesn’t expect much 4. Nadine- her mom does have a rule. She didn’t want her to go anywhere after school. She needed permission. Her dad didn’t like her go where ever she wanted to go . explicit rule. #3 Sara- explicit rule. At a specific age they had expectations then she learned her limits. They both have explicit rule. Responses from the other person: The first question was whether interviewee’s mother had a rule about her physical appearance, including how she usually dressed. I would rate the interviewee’s response at (3) since she indicated that her mother maintained explicit expectations on her physical appearance, which were influenced by her mother’s experience when she was growing up. Joan explained that she was not allowed to wear revealing clothes such as miniskirts. Her hair had to be neatly tied into a bun. Joan explained that her mother made sure she dressed according to her expectations by buying all her clothes for her. She also informed the interviewer that the father was never directly involved with her physical appearance. Joan’s response to the second question could be ranked at (2) since Joan described her mother as mainly non-intrusive regarding her choice of friends. However, she would be uncomfortable if Joan started hanging out with peers who she suspected were taking drugs. Joan’s parents imposed this unspoken rule through counseling her about drug abuse. Concerning expectation on Joan’s future career Joan’s response would be rated at (3), her parents wished for her to become a nurse like her elder sister. They had been preparing her to take nursing at college. They even dictated the subjects that she took while in high school to ensure she would fit in the nursing school. Did Joan’s parents impose a curfew on her, regarding her reporting time at home? In regard to this question, the response could be ranked at (3) since Joan explained that every time she went out with friends; her mother demanded that she be home before dusk. To ensure she complied, Joan’s mother would threaten to lock her out of the house if she ever arrived late. Her father, on the other hand, did not have strict restrictions about the time she arrived home unless she came in too late. Concerning Joan’s school grades, the response would be ranked at (3) because her parents explicitly expected her to perform exceptionally well in Chemistry and Mathematics. This was imposed by having a private tutor coach her during the weekends. Regarding getting into conflict with her siblings, the response could be ranked at (3). Joan’s parents were categorical that fighting with her siblings would not be condoned. Each time she and her siblings got into a conflict, their parents would ground them as punishment. In regard to dating her response could be rated at (3) since she stated that she was not allowed to date boys until she turned eighteen. She, however, allowed spending time with her male friends that were known to her parents. Joan’s parents are non-strict Christians and as a result, this answer could be rated at (3). This is because they did not have explicit expectations about her allegiance to Christianity. As children, Joan and her siblings were taken to church every once in a while so they could learn basic Christian values. Do Joan’s parents have expectations regarding her choice of marriage partner and the right time for her to get married? Her response could be ranked at (3) since Joan stated that her parents did not have restrictions on who she could marry when the time came. However, they insisted that she would need to complete college first before getting married. Joan’s elder sister did not get married until she graduated from nursing school. Her parents explicitly maintained that she must follow in her sister’s footsteps. Both Joan’s parents strongly discouraged the habit of lying to them. They encouraged Joan and her siblings to be truthful always. Lastly in relation to performing various tasks at home, Joan’s response could be ranked at (3) since she was clear that parents insisted on her performing various chores at home. Her parents did not hire house helps to carry out certain duties such as doing laundry and cooking. They desired to raise their children as all round people. Your job in this assignment is to answer these major 4 questions using the interview responses from these three people. 1. Categorize the specific practices from the two interviews (one with group member and one with someone outside of class) into the conceptual parenting dimensions (see Appendix C) for each of the 11 interview questions for mother and father. Appendix C contains the table of specific practices that have been conceptually categorized into 5 dimensions: nondemanding, rational-demanding, coercive demanding, punishment, and responsive. Categorize the parenting practices of mothers and fathers separately for the two interviews. 2. Did you find “new” parenting practices that were not in Appendix C? If so, can these new practices be categorized in the existing 5 parenting dimensions? If the new practices cannot be categorized into any of the 5 parenting dimensions, how would you characterize this new practice? Is another parenting dimension needed for this new practice? Explain by referring to evidence from the readings, lecture, or by offering a logical argument (please avoid opinion). 3. Now that you have categorized the parenting practices into dimensions, what parenting style would you say the mother and father have? Describe and explain for each of the two interviews. Make sure to refer to the readings and the lectures to support your parenting style categorization. Describe and explain the discrepancies you may have found with the practices that do not fit into the pre-existing dimensions. How would you characterize the parenting style of parents with practices and dimensions that do not fit into the pre-existing categories? 4. Based on the interview, speculate and discuss how 6 of the parenting practices (3 for mother and 3 for father) employed to the regulate the 6 issues your group partner and the person outside of class reported would affect the outcome the parent would achieve in enforcing a particular rule {e.g., would yelling, shaming, or ignoring deter or increase smoking?}. Explain why you think positive, negative, or no outcome could result. Could some practices yield both positive and negative results? Would the same practice have different outcomes if the mother versus the father were employing it? What other alternative parenting practice, parent behavior (e.g., modeling), adolescent variable (e.g., temperament), family variable (number of siblings, parental level of education), parent-child relationship variable (e.g., level of conflict and cohesion), and cultural value could contribute to a positive outcome with respect to enforcement of the 3 issues? Analyze a total of 6 practices, three practices for the mother and three for the father from the two interviews. Appendix C Conceptual Dimensions of Parenting Practices Non Demanding Rational Demanding Coercive Demanding Punishment Responsive Parent Unavailable (e.g., not at home or at work) Demands/requires after explanation Yells Removal of privileges Rewards with material objects Other parent enforces Reminds & expects compliance Interrogation (asking repeated questions but not believing adolescents’ answers) Grounding Gives positive encouragement/motivate Child old enough to self-regulate Admonishes with concern/worry Makes adolescent feel guilty Depriving Praises/shows approval Suggests action/decision but leaves it to child to decide Parent separates adolescent from peers/sibs (e.g., to end conflict) Teases/makes fun/calls names Slapping/hitting Asks questions and believes adolescent’s word Allows child to experience natural consequences Uses reason/explanation to convince adolescent Shames **Adolescent complies is trusted by parent Parent agrees with other parent who regulates Monitoring (keeps track of friends, activities during the day) Demands/requires without reason/explanation Tries to convince child that parent can be trusted; adolescent should not be afraid of parent’s reaction Modeling (parents’ own behavior is a guide to child’s behavior; adolescent learns by watching parent behavior— both positive and negative) Requires child to redress/correct negative outcomes Takes physical measures (e.g., takes away clothes) Physically supervises activity Threatens negative consequences Other: Parent Shows irritation/frustration; Parent looks disappointed **A practice that is nondemanding but has been placed in the responsive dimension because it is based on adolescent competence not parental shortcoming or inability to regulate

The nursing department was in marginal position overall as far as available nurses were concerned, so her flexibility was limited. to make matters worse, within an hour after Janet developed the new schedule, a part-time licensed practical nurse named bonnie turned in a request for a personal day on one of the days she was scheduled to work. The request caused Janet to realize that had been seeing Bonnie’s name in connection with scheduling difficulties often in recent months. Looking back over the preceding 6 months schedules she discovered that the current request was the fifth time in 6 months that bonnie had requested time off in a scheduled weekend day. Even more significant was the pattern of Bonnie’s use of sick time. She had called in sick four times, all of these on Saturdays or Sundays. all in all, Bonnie had worked only about half of the weekend days she was scheduled to work over period of 6 months. Janet was displeased with Bonnie attendance and unhappy with herself for not discovering the problem sooner. She believed she had to confront Bonnie about the problem, but she also believed her unit could ill afford to lose a nurse when replacements were so scarce. Nevertheless , she believed she could not allow Bonnie’s attendance pattern to continue. The questions that you have to focus and write essay about are 1.What are the hazards Janet faces in (1) dealing firmly with Bonnie’s behavior and (2) ignoring Bonnie’s absences and saying nothing? 2.Assuming Janet decides to confront Bonnie, how should she go about doing so?

7 Book Report Assignment Although it’s not due until March 15, this would be a very easy assignment to engage over the upcoming spring break, or sooner. Find and read a novel or narrative history BOOK set in Michigan, ideally one authored by a Michigan resident. Write a roughly two-page book report whose general theme is what it shows about Michigan. Reports will be graded pass/fail. You will need to think about historical and regional themes and how the state’s culture, economics, politics, regions etc. are represented. What makes your book representative of or relevant to the state and its people? How could it not be set anywhere else? This list is only a starting point. Please feel free to ask Prof Watts about other sources or possibilities, especially local ones from your communities. All the sources listed here are for sale on Amazon.com. Most of the mysteries are trade books available in any decent bookshop, even used. Both Curious and Archives on Grand River have separate Michigan sections. Both local Schulers have Michigan sections, new and used, as well. Many are available as downloads (though there’s a load of self-published downloadable crap as well). You can also check them out from my office. This same list will apply to the sources available for paper #3, if you want to do a book for that. You may not use the same source for both assignments. “Serious Writers” (make sure of Michigan settings) Jeffrey Eugenides Bonnie Jo Campbell (not American Salvage) Jim Harrison Lolita Hernandez Terri McMillan Laura Kauffman Susan Messer Michael Zadoorian Laura Kasciske Peter Devries RA. Riekke Philip Caputo Tom McGuane Gloria Naylor Richard Ford Joseph Schreiber Harriet Arnow Nettie Jones Charles Baxter Jack Driscoll Angela Flourney Short Fiction Travis Mulhauser Michael Delp Jeff Kass Jim Daniels Dorene O’Brien Adam Schuitema RM Kinder Ander Monson Popular/Genre Writers Mysteries Many of these feature continuing characters in a series.
