Summary : B-drinking is a strategy whereby dancers, waitresses, and otherwise legally employed women illegally solicit drinks from tourists for pay. Unique to the ethnographic literature on strip clubs, Bourbon Street, B-Drinking, and the Sexual Economy of Tourism focuses on the role of alcohol sales in the sexual economy of Bourbon Street, New Orleans. Relying on historical material, Demovic reveals that the intimate encounters B-girls have provided have been a part of the tourism service economy since the beginning of the twentieth century. The evolution of “B-girldom” as an imagined identity created through changing representations of the practice over the decades have both reflected and constructed the experiences of women working in New Orleans’ nightclubs. The B-drinker is an iconic character found in fictional and nonfictional accounts of the city. B-girls inhabit an ambiguous structural position in the performance of heritage tourism in New Orleans. Participant observation and interviews reveal that by the 1990s women who worked as B-drinkers were significant stakeholders in French Quarter tourism, able to use their informal networks to seize power over working conditions in the tourism economy of Bourbon Street. Demovic focuses on how these marginalized but critical workers have responded to stigma by creating tight knit groups which continue to support one another decades after leaving their work on Bourbon Street. This book adds the New Orleans example to a broader understanding of how sex work evolves in ways that reflect regional history and culture. Widening the ethnographic lens, Demovic looks past strip tease itself and to the economic activities of such workers when they are off the stage.

Summary : The essential reference for human development theory, updated and reconceptualized The Handbook of Child Psychology and Developmental Science, a four-volume reference, is the field-defining work to which all others are compared. First published in 1946, and now in its Seventh Edition, the Handbook has long been considered the definitive guide to the field of developmental science. Volume 3: Social, Emotional, and Personality Development presentsup-to-date knowledge and theoretical understanding of the several facets of social, emotional and personality processes. The volume emphasizes that any specific processes, function, or behavior discussed in the volume co-occurs alongside and is inextricably affected by the dozens of other processes, functions, or behaviors that are the focus of other researchers' work. As a result, the volume underscores the importance of a focus on the whole developing child and his or her sociocultural and historical environment. Understand the multiple processes that are interrelated in personality development Discover the individual, cultural, social, and economic processes that contribute to the social, emotional, and personality development of individuals Learn about the several individual and contextual contributions to the development of such facets of the individual as morality, spirituality, or aggressive/violent behavior Study the processes that contribute to the development of gender, sexuality, motivation, and social engagement The scholarship within this volume and, as well, across the four volumes of this edition, illustrate that developmental science is in the midst of a very exciting period. There is a paradigm shift that involves increasingly greater understanding of how to describe, explain, and optimize the course of human life for diverse individuals living within diverse contexts. This Handbook is the definitive reference for educators, policy-makers, researchers, students, and practitioners in human development, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and neuroscience.

Summary : The culture of alcohol usage in western societies infiltrates almost every aspect of life, including romantic relationships. However, there is minimal research on the impact of drinking in the very early phase of dating relationships. The main objectives of this thesis were to develop greater understanding of the pattern of alcohol usage in the early phase of dating relationships and to explore the consequences of drinking on young adults' relationship quality and subjective experiences. Three studies were performed to address these aims. Study One aimed shed light on the prevalence of alcohol use on dates, the factors that drive individuals' alcohol usage, and the relational impact of such practice. Results from the online questionnaire (n = 282) showed the majority of participants drank on dates. This behaviour was primarily driven by their general drinking tendency and their partners' alcohol usage. The findings also suggest that drinking on dates may affect the level of intimacy experienced by women, but not men. Specifically, women's drinking positively predicted their own feelings of intimacy, but their partners' drinking was negatively associated with women's sense of intimacy. Study Two aimed to extend the findings of the previous study by exploring in depth young adults' experiences on dates using a semi-structured interview approach. A subset of participants from Study One (n = 44) returned for this study. Data were coded and thematically analysed through the lens of the Relational Turbulence Model. Participants expressed an expectation that alcohol usage would have beneficial effects on dating experiences and relationship quality. A range of descriptors of the sense of uncertainty and issues of partner inference that resulted from alcohol usage also emerged from participants' discourse. Together, the results suggested that drinking between dating partners may evoke or reflect turbulence in the relationship. Dating is an interpersonal experience, and the cornerstone of dating research is dyadic investigations. Study Three employed a dyadic design to explore the effects of couples' drinking on both dyad members' feelings of intimacy and experiences of turbulence (n = 66 couples). Results from the paper questionnaire revealed only women's drinking had significant associations with relational outcomes. To the extent that women drank in the absence of their partners, they also reported higher levels of uncertainty. Women's alcohol usage also showed significant relationships with male partners' intimacy. Specifically, men's intimacy was negatively associated with women's alcohol usage outside of the relationship, but was positively associated with women's drinking in their presence. The consistency and discrepancy in the findings across the three studies are discussed. Overall, results demonstrated diverse and complex associations between drinking, intimacy, and turbulence in the early phase of dating relationships. Implications for theories, relationship advisors and dating couples, and future research are provided. An additional study that extends the exploration of dating and relationship experiences to a group of individuals who consumed alcohol at heavy and pathological levels is presented in the Clinical Practicum Appendix.
