Baby longing and men’s reproductive motivation
No full textChildbearing in low-fertility societies some times results from a strong desire to have a(nother) child. Since women tend to dominate discussions on ‘baby longing’ or ‘baby fever’, it is not clear whether men also feel the powerful urge to have a child. Moreover, the demographic importance of baby longing has yet to be assessed. Using cross-sectional surveys from contemporary Finland and focusing on men, we analyse gender differences in baby longing. Both sexes report having felt an intense longing to have a child of their own at least once or a few times in their lives. A higher proportion of men say they have never longed for a child, while a higher proportion of women report having felt this longing frequently. Baby longing figures at different stages of the Traits-Desires-Intentions-Behaviour scheme of reproductive behaviour. For a small minority of men, longing first appears in youth. Baby longing among men most commonly plays into childbearing desires preceding attempts to achieve pregnancy. However, about every third man reports having first felt this longing only when trying to have a child. Baby longing among men is unrelated to economic and educational status, but it is associated with marital status, fertility intentions and the number of lifetime unions. Compared to its effects on women, baby longing among men is reported to result in having a child less often and to have less influence on childbearing decisi ons. We conclude that women’s longing shapes the couple’s fertility behaviour to a slightly higher degree than men’s longing does, especially with regards to higher parities. Men’s baby longing may be especially important for sustaining proceptive behaviour and preparing for fatherhoo
Personality is differentially associated with planned and non-planned pregnancies
No full textRecent studies have linked personality with family formation and having children. We studied whether personality traits are differentially associated with planned versus non-planned pregnancies. The participants were 8336 men and women from the 1958 British birth cohort study, with personality assessed in adulthood using the Five Factor Model. Planned pregnancies were more likely in women with high agreeableness and low openness to experience, and in men with high extraversion, high emotional stability, high conscientiousness, and low openness to experience. Non-planned pregnancies were more likely in women with high extraversion, low emotional stability, and low conscientiousness, and in men with high extraversion and low agreeableness. These results indicate that personality is associated with fertility differences via different pathways of fertility plannin

Andrei Siniavskii. A hero of his time?
No full textThis thesis is an artistic biography of Andrei Siniavskii (1925-1997) as a
writer in and of his time, showing how this subtle and complex author found his
way in a society polarised into heroes and villains, patriots and traitors; how he
progresses from identification with the value system and ideology of his time to
reaction against it, his dissidence expressed in literary terms.
Beyond this, I hope to show how he moves to a new conception of the writer
in the fusion of his creative and critical selves that is dominated neither by the
voice of the collective ‘we’, nor by the voice of the individual ‘I’ but which
leaves space in the text for engagement by the reader. Individual readers,
passing manuscripts from hand to hand or reciting texts orally had assured the
continuity of the Russian literary tradition during the long bleak years when
literature seemed to mark time under the strictures of Soviet ideology and
Socialist Realist aesthetics. Siniavskii’s work is motivated by the passionate
belief that the way forward for Russian literature lay in this same spark
generated between individual reader and text.
My thesis is organised chronologically and is based on a close reading of
Siniavskii’s work. It explores the way his art does not simply reflect the
circumstances of his life and times but is actively shaped by an intricate
commerce between the two. I intend to show how Siniavskii’s distancing
himself, first ideologically then physically, from the Soviet system is
counterbalanced by his creative reintegration with Russia through literature
