Offspring

Body Hormonal factors Hormonal factors have a strong influence on the behaviors within the parent-offspring conflict, especially within the realm of begging. This factor is important because of the mother’s ability to change the hormonal contact that the offspring will receive within development or within the egg. The hormonal factors that will be discussed are the different levels of testosterone, other androgens influences, parental influence on yolk hormones, and differences in male and female

men are able to have offspring much easier than women can, and the “costs” of having offspring are not nearly as great for men as they are for women. Women have much more “parental investment” than men. Since the mother of the child only has a few chances to have healthy offspring, if the father leaves or is not attentive and/or caring, the woman’s chances of having healthy offspring that survive to adulthood is greatly reduced. Such for the survival of her potential offspring, and in turn her genes

“The Well-Being of Children Impacted by a Parent with Cancer: An Integrative Review” was published in collaboration with Julia Morris, Angelita Martini, and David Preen. In the summer of 2016, the three authors finalized their research project and published it in the scientific journal, Supportive Care in Cancer. Julia Morris, Angelita Martini, and David Preen are all editors in the Supportive Care in Cancer Medical Journal and also affiliated with the “Centre for Health Services Research School

What would you expect to be the result of a parents investing a considerable amount of money in technology, to make the lives of their family easier? You would probably expect them to live more efficient lives, build stronger relationships with their children and spend more time with them. In The Veldt, a short story by Robert Bradbury, this is exactly is does not happen. The reason for buying so many gadgets was to create a better appealing home and lifestyle, but this became a point of stress rather

I’ve Got to Habit Overcoming bad habits or creating new ones is easier than one might think. Quality of life can be compromised by behaviors such as procrastination and reluctance to change. There are people who believe they are set in their ways or who resist change by denying there is any need for it. Those are simply cop-outs. Habits are broken by the same method they are created. When individuals begin tackling a few stubborn habits and creating a few more desirable habits, life can become more

defining what parent involvement actually is. The authors of the book Evolutionary Psychology use Robert Trivers’ definition from 1972 that states, “any investment by the parent in an individual offspring that increases the offspring’s chance of surviving at the cost of parent’s ability to invest in other offspring”. This means that if a parent of a individual uses any of their resources to help improve their child’s chance of survival, meaning

Parental investment includes any investment by the parent in an individual offspring that increases the offspring’s chances of survival, at the cost of the parent’s ability to invest in other offspring (Travier, 1972). Since investing on themselves is as important as investing on their children, parents have to choose between caring for a child and acquiring the resources needed to insure their own productive and reproductive successes (Turner & McAndrew, 2006). This choice can be influenced by

Imagine a world where parental expectations did not exist for children entirely. Should they really be in place? While some people may argue that parental expectations may be too much pressure for offspring, they usually keep children’s behavior rational, have an impact on their children and their future, and goals are usually a source of motivation to do better. First, the reason parental expectation is set in place, to begin with, is to regulate children and their actions. Second of all, having

proves restriction on parenting is necessary. Moral is one of the most abstract human behaviors that concerns parents ' abilities to have autonomy and responsibility when they take care of their offspring. Parents are expected to have a capacious and high ethical responsibility in order to support their offspring emotionally and financially, at all time in any cases. It is their duties and obligations to show interests, to spend time, to give encouragements, and to teach disciplines…etc. There is a wide

The empty nest – a feeling of grief and loneliness that many parents feel when their children grow up and leave home – is becoming rare, mainly across the entire Western countries. In reality, the nest has never been so ordered. Insofar as this is the case, that the possibility to find young adults still living in parental home is increasing globally, moreover the demographic prognosis show the continuity of these trends, according to recent studies. This behavior’s increment has been a modern phenomenon
