The life course cube: A tool for studying lives ☆
Which theory states that life comes only from life? Biogenesis. Which of the following statements is NOT true about science? The results of a scientific experiment must be repeatable, The methods and results of a scientific experiment must be published in a scientific journal.
Life course theory (LCT) looks at how chronological age, relationships, common life transitions, life events, social change, and human agency shape people's lives from birth to death. It locates individual and family development in cultural and historical contexts.
The life course perspective recognizes the influence of historical changes on human behavior. 3. The life course perspective recognizes the importance of timing of lives not just in terms of chronological age, but also in terms of biological age, psychological age, social age, and spiri- tual age. 4.
An assumption made continually by life-course theory supporters regards human behavior as being affected by nurture rather than nature. The theory recognizes that not one human is identical, but instead establishes that there are typical life phrases that are experienced in typical patterns.
Life course theory, more commonly termed the life course perspective, refers to a multidisciplinary paradigm for the study of people's lives, structural contexts, and social change.
Sampson and Laub propose a dynamic theory of social capital and informal social control that incorporates explanations of stability and change in criminal behavior. Adult social ties can modify childhood trajectories of crime despite general stability.
Examples include: an individual who gets married at the age of 20 is more likely to have a relatively early transition of having a baby, raising a baby and sending a child away when a child is fully grown up in comparison to his/her age group.

One of the best-known and best-researched developmental theoretical models to date is that of Robert Sampson and John Laub. 17 Sampson and Laub have proposed a develop- mental framework largely based on a reanalysis of original data collected by Sheldon and Eleanor Glueck in the 1940s.
The life course refers to the social phases we progress through, throughout our lives. Traditionally, these were seen as quite fixed, especially for women (who would be expected to be dependent on their parents until being married, at which point they would be dependent on their husbands and bear and rear children).

Several fundamental principles characterize the life course approach. They include: (1) socio-historical and geographical location; (2) timing of lives; (3) heterogeneity or variability; (4) "linked lives" and social ties to others; (5) human agency and personal control; and (6) how the past shapes the future.

Life course theory, more commonly termed the life course perspective, refers to a multidisciplinary paradigm for the study of people's lives, structural contexts, and social change. This approach encompasses ideas and observations from an array of disciplines, notably history, sociology, demography, developmental psychology, biology, and economics.
Life span refers to duration of life and characteristics that are closely related to age but that vary little across time and place. In contrast, the life course perspective elaborates the importance of time, context, process, and meaning on human development and family life (Bengtson and Allen 1993).
Aging and developmental change, therefore, are continuous processes that are experienced throughout life. As such, the life course reflects the intersection of social and historical factors with personal biography and development within which the study of family life and social change can ensue (Elder 1985; Hareven 1996).

theorized the life course as based on five key principles: life-span development, human agency, historical time and geographic place, timing of decisions, and linked lives.
The primary factor promoting standardization of the life course was improvement in mortality rates brought about by the management of contagious and infectious diseases such as smallpox. A life course is defined as "a sequence of socially defined events and roles that the individual enacts over time".
The life course approach, also known as the life course perspective or life course theory, refers to an approach developed in the 1960s for analyzing people's lives within structural, social, and cultural contexts.

Today, the life course perspective is perhaps the pre-eminent theoretical orientation in the study of lives, but this has not always been the case. The life histories and future trajectories of individuals and groups were largely neglected by early sociological research.

Life course theory has five distinct principles: (a) time and place; (b) life-span development; (c) timing; (d) agency; and (e) linked lives. We used these principles to examine and explain high-risk pregnancy, its premature conclusion, and subsequent mothering of medically fragile preterm infants.
Life course theory, a sociological framework, was used to analyze the phenomenon of becoming a mother, with longitudinal narrative data from 34 women who gave birth prematurely after a high-risk pregnancy, and whose infant became medically fragile. Women faced challenges of mistimed birth and mothering a technologically-dependent infant.
Decreasing oxygen and ventilator settings allowed mothers more freedom to interact with their infants and less worry about extubation and overstimulation. Mothers learned to manage the infant’s technology, including nasal cannulae, oxygen generator concentrators, and tube feedings.
Mothers frequently referred to informational technology (electronic fetal monitoring [EFM], ultrasonography, photography, infant monitors) and supportive technology (ventilators and feeding tubes). Both types of technology were simultaneously reassuring and confusing as meanings of these data were often ambiguous.
Becoming a mother means moving from a known to an unknown reality (Mercer, 2004). The decision to become a mother is characterized by ambivalence, calculation of the timing of pregnancy, and determination of effects on significant relationships (Sevon, 2005).
Linked lives. The core life course principle is linked lives, the perspective that lives are lived interdependently and reflect sociohistorical influences (Marshall & Mueller, 2003).
Interviews were conducted at five time points: at study enrollment, which occurred once the infant was expected to survive for at least several months; 1 month after discharge home; and then at approximately 6, 12, and 16 months of age, corrected for prematurity.
