Write up your analysis of the article using the following outline:
1 In two or three sentences, abstract the article. What is its major stated purpose?
The article is talking about the Native American mothers of a kind of 6 to15 years of age, this observed the relation between and among mothers’ gambling, parenting in the home environment, social support and kind behavior that is on the native side.
The reaction were collected from a given community in casino on a great lakes Indian reservation. The studies shows that character problems in Native American kids in the article of maternal gambling were related with the bigger challenge related with financial strain, less sufficient parenting in the home environment, and kid age(Momper, S. and Jackson, A.2007). Moreover the studies were conditioned by frequency of mothers’ gambling, the number of social help from family available to the mother and kid gender.
The major consequence of these studies for policy, practice and forthcoming research are captured. The major purpose stated the relationship between the financial challenges that lead to a social effect hence affecting individual character at large. Therefore the studies shows that the mothers enter to gambling just because they want to generate house hold income to sustain their families and settle their bills. Moreover mothers having the little time with their little ones hence affecting their social life as well as their tender age.
1 Write down your immediate reaction (can be both intellectual and emotional) to the article.
My immediate reaction I can say the article is trying to give us the negative impact of gambling amongst the mothers’ and the relationship in their families amongst their children. This means the activity is a bad one to be performed in the society hence this need to be taken into concern. Since the gambling bring a negative implication to the social life of the kids because the parenting environment for these children’s is poor, most of their time is spend in gambling process or activity, hence children’s develop different character that a young child that have good parenting care has undergone.
My second reaction is this people from great lake side their main source of household income is through gambling and therefore to me I can say is good activity they earning a living out of this,(Jensen, 2013). Therefore the social life should be balance with economical. Moreover you cannot have a good social life if you’re still struggling with your financial strain.
the article was just good to give a sample overview about the relation of mothers’ gambling to struggled to earn a living and their parenting responsible hence this area needs a lot of research to been done in the future to done about mothers’ gambling, and parenting environment. This article touch on a small are that sampling.
1 Does this article report on the findings of research?
The article need a lot of research to be done. The issues of organized on reservations is complex. Balance needs to be established between the positive economic benefits of Indian gaming versus the negative implication of more consistence gambling Native American women.
The article has several limitation that we cannot support or recommend in the future one the outcomes of the study on one area cannot be generalized beyond the models, location and inhabitants. Second the data are cross-sectional and, as such, provide no basis for inference about the causality. Third the information collected for
Maternal self- reports, and the extent to which they relate to actual behaviors is not known. Moreover is not sufficient. The consistencies in this review must be recognized as a possible constraint vis-a-vis the contemporary facts. Still, there are few such statistics on maternal gambling, parenting in the home environment, and child behavioral functioning in Native American families.
2 Does this article include an explicit research question, and/or specific hypotheses?
If unsure, identify the major concepts (e.g. self-esteem, social class, insecurity, racism, etc.) in the article, and determine if the author suggests any kind of relationship between them. How clear is the author about this relationship?
The article touch on the economic and social behavior of the causality that is to say many Native American mothers take most of in gambling leaving their children to family support thus affecting the social life of the their children. The self –esteem is also affect for the children since the lack that parenting care of their mothers’. There is also a lot of finical constrains thus lowering the self-esteem of the mothers’(Momper, S and Jackson, A.2007).. This factor lead to the other that is if you’re not financial free it means your social life is affected, the more you become insecure thus lowering self-esteem.
3 Have the key concepts been operationalized into variables? If yes, which is the independent variable (causal) and which is the dependent variable (effect) and how will they be measured? If no, how would you go about making them measurable?
Yes maternal gambling and parenting has led to child behavior. Maternal gambling is the causal variable and parenting which has led to dependent variable that is child behavioral functioning. The fact that parent are busy gambling to rise finances for the house hold and settle bills this also contributes to the development of their children behave, moreover the boy child is the most affect most in this scenario since girl child is said to be protective(Gibson, D. 2015).. The economical strain is said to affect the boy child behavior since he will strive to relief himself from that situation.
4 Is an attempt made to test the hypothesis(es)?
Yes since the sample of study was taken form 150 Native American ladies with the children age 6 to 15 years to test the effect of the maternal gambling, parenting and child behavioral functioningMomper, S. and Jackson, A. (2007).. The article shows how the gambling affect social lives of their kids and final affecting their behavior functional. Financial constrains also enhance the effect of their social life among the child boy.
5 What is your assessment of how well the author(s) relate the findings to the original question or hypothesis?
The hypothesis was carried to check how maternal gambling has led to poor parenting care or home environment to their kids thus leading to behavioral function.
The research shows that the pathological gambling was associated significantly with more recurrent gambling less active parenting in the home environment hence child behavior problems. High house hold income is said to have good parental care since there time is not spend in gambling.
6 Is the research design specifically stated; what design did they used?
Yes the have use sampling method or model to carry out their study.(Gibson,2015). Reserved area that is the sample was taken from a Native American ladies of 150 having children of 6 to 15 years to study the effect of gambling in the society and how it will affect the social and economic lives of the kids in great lake side.
7 Is there a comparison and/or control group?
Yes the analyses sows that pathological gambling was related with significantly with more frequent gambling less adequate parenting in the home environment and the child behavior problems. Parenting in the home environment is associated with social supportive from family and friends is to be having less child behavior function(Gibson, 2015), holds that parent with more house hold income or free from financial constrains is also said to having good parenting home environment. Therefore there is a different between the two groups. The measures for a child to grow in a free form behavioral function is when the parent are free from financial constraints and good supportive family and friend hence good social life.
8 Does the author discuss validity and/or reliability of the instrumentation used?
Yes since has used sampling methods that having a study a given group of people that is women with 6 to 15 years of age,(Jensen ,2013),Holds that data analysis that is data was analyses from the same people and also multiple regression analysis was also used to show how maternal gambling affect the parenting hence child function
