    HU Jie-Rong
    SOCIAL WORK AND MANAGEMENT, 2015, 15 (5): 66-73. 
    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (1167KB) ( 2255 )
    The relationship between women and social welfare is an important issue in social policy research. According to assumptions, rules and practices, AFDC is a gendered social policy program. From the existing division of gender, it emphasized the practical gender needs and strengthened their roles of mother and children career. During 19621996, poor singlemothers became the main recipient of AFDC benefit and were stigmatized as welfare queen. Even workfare, including work requirement and work incentive, was emphasized to end the welfare dependency by AFDC and TANF. But these social policies caused some of them to become the working poor, and face the dual burdens of employment and children care. Only when the structural division of labor market is changed and public service system for children is built from strategic gender needs, could the social and economic status of single mothers be improved.

    SOCIAL WORK AND MANAGEMENT, 2015, 15 (5): 79-86. 
    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (1042KB) ( 2449 )
     Exposure to internet media images is thought to play a significant role in the development of body image dissatisfaction (BID) amongst females. Selective accessibility model can explain positive and negative media image effects on the body images in social comparison processes. Many factors, such as degree of internalization of thin ideal, body mass index and personality traits, moderated the effects of exposure to idealized images on body dissatisfaction among women. Conducting media literacy education, developing selfimprovement motivation and building confidence could prevent mediainduced body image disturbance.
