This study's design precludes any meaningful conclusions because of its faulty definition of children raised by gay or lesbian parents and its conflation of family instability with any potential effects of parental sexual orientation.
A 2001 comprehensive survey of peer-reviewed scientific studies concluded that the evidence from empirical research "shows that parental sexual orientation per se has no measurable effect on the quality of parent-child relationships or on children's mental health or social adjustment".
Our findings support and strengthen the idea that stigma related to parental sexual orientation is associated with a negative impact on child mental and emotional wellbeing.
Effects of parental sexual orientation on that of children also appear to be negligible between gay fathers and sons (Bailey et al., 1995) and between lesbian mothers and their children (Golombok & Tasker, 1996).
Wainright et al. analyzed data on 44 15-year-olds reared in female-couple households (parental sexual orientation unknown and planned family status unknown) collected in the 1994 National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health.
As already mentioned, parental acculturation orientations shape their offspring's identity through the transmission of the values and cultural expectations either fostering or hampering children's adaptation to school and thus their motivation to achieve.
As to parental acculturation orientations—I ki —it is important to specify that in a family where parents transmit values strongly oriented towards adaptation through education, their children derive greater utility from scholastic effort; thereby, they meet parental expectations for their behaviour in school.
Hin was added to reactions containing pMS551, HU, and Fis, as designated, and aliquots were taken at 0, 1, 2, and 5 min. Digestion with HindIII and PstI allows the inverted and parental DNA orientations to be distinguished.
Scientists should analyze the intertwining of parental gender role orientations and students' gender roles with students' reading achievement and reading attitudes explicitly to gain more knowledge about mechanisms of gender inequality.
