Chapter Eleven

Being with Others: Forming Relationships in Young and

Middle Adulthood

11.1 Relationships

Love Relationships

• Sternberg’s three basic components of love – Passion – Intimacy – Commitment

• Couples are happier when each feels the same types of love to a similar degree

• The longer a relationship lasts, the lower its intimacy and passion, but the greater its commitment

Love Through Adulthood

• Infatuation: characterizes early stages of romance when passion is high, but intimacy and commitment are lower – Higher divorce rates in couples who marry

based primarily on infatuation • Assortative mating: selecting one’s partner

based on similarity across many dimensions – Homogamy: degree to which people are

similar; greater when couples meet through school or a religious setting

Love Through Adulthood: What Heterosexual Women Want

• Women choose masculine-looking men for shorter-term relationships and feminine- looking men for long-term relationships

• Certain traits are universally desirable – Physical attractiveness, especially for men – Being a good provider, especially for

women – In both genders: love, mutual attraction,

dependability, emotional stability, kindness, and understanding

Developmental Forces and Love Relationships

• Love is a function of biopsychosocial forces • Love is a distinct neurological emotion system,

with different stages of love involving different neurochemicals

• Erikson: mature love is impossible without a capacity for intimacy

11.3 The Family Lifecycle

Family Life Cycle

• Early adulthood – Leaving home – Marriage – Parenthood

• Middle adulthood – Launching children

• Late adulthood – Retirement – Death of spouse

Leaving Home

• Average age of leaving increased over last 50 years

• More than 50% leave, then return briefly • Parents highly committed to helping children

move into adult roles

Marriage

• Studies show the median age at which couples marry has been rising for the past several decades

• Women who marry under the age of 20 are: – Three times more likely to divorce than

women who marry in their 20s – Six times more likely to divorce than those

who marry in their 30s

What is a Successful Marriage, and What Predicts It?

• Marriages are likelier to succeed when: – Both partners are relatively mature

• this may be why marriages in one’s early 20s or younger tend to fail

– The couple has similar values and interests – Each partner contributes equitably

(exchange theory) – Couples are honest and committed, they

trust and consult each other, and they make decisions jointly

Do Married Couples Stay Happy?

• Vulnerability-stress adaptation model: marital satisfaction is a function of the couple’s ability to deal with stress, given its vulnerabilities and resources at each particular point in time

• Marital and cohabital satisfaction is highest in the beginning, falls until children begin leaving home, and rises again in later life

• When dependence is more equal, marriage tends to stay strong and close

Keeping Marriages Happy

• Enduring marital satisfaction is likelier when couples: – Are forgiving, understanding, flexible,

adaptive, and available for, and interested in, the other

– Keep the romance alive and express love – Confide in each other; communicate

constructively and positively – Share spirituality and/or religious beliefs

Deciding Whether to Have Children

• 50%+ of U.S. pregnancies are unplanned • Considerations:

– Finances – Personal values – Religious values

• Childless couples have a higher standard of living and greater marital satisfaction

• Societal attitudes toward childless couples have improved since the 1970s

The Parental Role

• Couples are having fewer children and waiting longer to have them

• Older parents are more at ease, affectionate, sensitive, and supportive

• More than 70% of women with children under 18 are employed outside the home and still perform most of the childrearing tasks

• Men who become fathers in their 30s spend more time caring for their preschool children

The November 2019 Issue Of The American Journal Of Public Health (AJPH

/in /by
  1. The November 2019 issue of the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) had a special section on Financing Health Care in light of the current political discourse. The articles (6 are required readings and 2 are optional) provide different perspectives on the single- and multiple-payer systems proposed by or advocated for by the different political parties and presidential candidates.
    These articles, along with your other readings this week, collectively form the basis of your individual Assignment 6. Feel free to consult with additional resources to support your position. Your 600-800 word essay should include:

    • Introduction
    • Arguments for a single-payer system
    • Arguments against a single-payer system
    • Your well-supported opinion on what the next approach is for health care reform in the United States.
    • References (this week’s textbook and article readings are sufficient, but feel free to add more)
    • Below are few definitions to guide your readings. These definitions are extracted from the Editorial to the special section in the AJPH November issue (p. 1482):
      Single payer refers to a health system that is financed by a single entity; in its common usage, that single entity is government. Government is the payer for services, and such payments are financed by taxes, but there is no implication that government employs the providers or actually owns or operates the health system. There still may be intermediaries between the government as payer and the provider… In its “purest” form, in a single- payer system, health care services are paid for only by the government; in the case of Medicare, beneficiaries also contribute to payments through premiums.
      Multiple payer refers to a health system that is financed through more than a single entity, one of which may include government. Private health insurance companies participate in multiple-payer systems, with financing through individual premiums paid directly by beneficiaries, employers, and, in some cases, government.
      Whether a health care system is single or multiple payer does not in and of itself define the system in terms of coverage. Universal coverage means simply that all people within a particular jurisdiction have health insurance, be it single or multiple payer. Universal coverage requires governmental mandate; however, the form of that mandate may be through either single or multiple payer or a hybrid model.
      Health care in the United States is currently a unique hybrid, multiple-payer system, but with elements of single payer (i.e., Medicare, although beneficiaries also contribute through premiums), publicly subsidized private payers (e.g., employer-sponsored health insurance), socialized medicine (e.g., Department of Veterans Affairs, in which government is both the payer and the employer), and self-pay (i.e., out of pocket).

Wk 2 Assignment: GUI and Input, Output, and Variable [due Mon]

Wk 2 Assignment: GUI and Input, Output, and Variable [due Mon]

Assignment Content

  1. In your position as the leader of a programming team, sometimes you need to take on tasks when the team is overloaded with work. Your team is currently busy, so you are taking on a customer request to create a business application that allows the user to determine an approximate cost for a business trip. The customer will add functionality and features to the application throughout the development process. You will continue to modify this application throughout the remainder of the course.

    Create a Java™ travel authorization request graphical user interface (GUI) application via NetBeans to calculate the cost of a business trip.

    Include the following functionality:

    • Traveler name (text field)
    • Airfare cost (text field)
    • Food cost (text field)
    • Hotel cost (text field)
    • Car cost (text field)
    • Shuttle cost (text field)
    • Summary: Display request total in label (must use a variable to store each item and calculate totals)
    • Button
    • The user will enter the name of the traveler and the cost of each item for a trip request. When the user clicks the calculate button, 10% of the total amount will be added to the trip total and be displayed in the Summary field. The use of variables are required to store the costs of the individual items.

      Submit your assignment as follows the Netbeans project file (export/zip file), cut/paste the source to a MS Word document and a screen shoot of the output. Also, let me know if you are using a Mac or a PC platform./*
