Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2016/Parent relocation after separation motivation

Comments
Hey! It may be interesting to make a note the factors that would make a person NOT want to relocate after separation (if there are any) maybe they have had their job for quite some time or if they want to stay close with the children - or if they have obligations to the children (shared custody). I know this is against your argument however if it is within the scope of the topic I suppose it is relevant --Sebastian Kelly (discuss • contribs) 02:16, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Image ideas
Hi. I tried to find some images for you from wiki commons. Hope it helps: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Seth_Singleton.jpg I also thought that domestic violence is probably a great motive to want to relocate so found this one too: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:20081123120727-violencia-de-genero.jpg Good luck with the chapter. It's a very interesting topic. --U113403 (discuss • contribs) 11:39, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Different perspective?
Hi. I know you have probably submitted your chapter already, but I had a few thoughts for improvements that may help you, or others who decide to add to this chapter. I notice that you have taken the perspective of a mother relocating with the child for what seems like positive reasons (for her anyway). I wonder if it would help to look at negative reasons she may have for moving? AS suggested above, perhaps there were domestic violence issues, perhaps they are unable to coparent effectively, perhaps even the father has visitation rights but chooses not to exercise them and so it is hard to justify staying if he doesn't take the opportunity to exercise his parental rights? Or, you could consider the situation where the primary caregiver parent remains but the other parent (in your case study, the father) decides to move away? There could be more motivational issues related to that - perhaps low self-efficacy, tendency toward avoidance orientation etc. Although there is a lack of research, it may help to hypothesise a broader range of potential reasons/motivations and then discuss the theories around those hypotheses? Just a thought. Here a couple more references if anyone chooses to continue work on this topic. Glennon, T. (2008). Still partners? The consequences of post-dissolution parenting.

Tough topic - well done for finding the evidence you did! --U944295 (discuss • contribs) 11:37, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
