…so who does the spanking?
Research has shown that in straight couples, men more often take on the role of disciplinarian with the children while women are often the nurturers.
C. Gonzalez, an OU undergraduate student in sociology, is doing her McNair Scholar research paper on how this process plays out in same-sex couple households with children. She is seeking volunteers to fill out a short, confidential questionnaire about their parenting styles as well as those of their partner/spouse. If you are willing to participate further, she will do an in person follow-up interview about your family dynamics.
If you are interested in participating in the survey, contact Ms. Gonzalez at (405) 314-8498 or email her at chimba12000@ou.edu.
