RJA #14: Field Research Report

My field research consisted of 2 interviews with a doctor from Czech Republic, Petra Jakubicova and a nurse from Washington state, Jana Necesana.  I asked both participants the same types of questions:

Interview #1 (respectively):
How long they have been married?
10 years

What was the feeling she felt when she first had saw him?
“The feeling was immense as if it was love at first sight and afterwards I just could not keep myself away from him.”  

How do you feel about Oxytocin being a significant factor in successive reproduction?
Oxytocin cannot be the only major factor contributing to sustainable reproduction
 
How do you feel about Oxytocin and the creation of bonds?
I feel like this could be a definite possibility from what I have heard, but my limiting knowledge about the hormone itself makes me unsure.

How do you feel about Oxytocin and the ability it gives to women to feed their young, would nature be able to survive without it?

Without the ability for a mother to feed its young from it's own body many species would indeed die off but many would still survive, I guess it depends on what spectrum of animals you look at.



 Interview #2 (respectively):
How long they have been married?
2 years


What was the feeling she felt when she first had saw him?
It definitely wasn't love at first sight, but with time and work our bond grew much stronger over time.


How do you feel about Oxytocin being a significant factor in successive reproduction?

I believe this is a very valid argument, and that this in fact may be a very important piece to the puzzle, but once again one piece won't solve the entire puzzle.

How do you feel about Oxytocin and the creation of bonds?
I feel very strongly because the bond that has formed between my husband and my daughter is very special and there has to be something behind it.


How do you feel about Oxytocin and the ability it gives to women to feed their young, would we nature be able to survive without it?
I think that without the ability for a child to gain nutrition from the mother the chances of survival are very slim.
