Paternal Acceptance

The aim of the study was to predict loneliness with regard to parental acceptance-rejection and sibling relationship quality after controlling for gender, age, grade, school type, field of study, birth order, and number of siblings. The UCLA Loneliness Scale, Maternal and Paternal Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire, and Sibling Relationship Questionnaire were administered to 1,451 high school students, and multiple hierarchical regression analysis was conducted. Results showed that 1.7% of variance was explained by model 1, including demographic variables, but model 1 was not significant. After adding mother and father acceptance to model 2, the explained variance increased to 18.1%. In model 3, sibling variables were added and the explained variance was 19.6%, which were both significant results. Mother acceptance was the best predictor of loneliness, followed by father acceptance. Parental variables explained loneliness better than sibling and demographic variables. Understanding the family predictors of loneliness may be seen as the first step for a subsequent intervention.

Peer violence is a very current problem in schools. There are plenty of studies on the characteristics of perpetrators, while the characteristics of victims have been explored much less frequently. This research was aimed at determining the factors from the domain of upbringing and socio-demographic characteristics of the victims that contribute to the exposure to peer violence. The total sample comprised 504 primary school students. In order to determine the effect of victimological factors, hierarchical regression analysis was performed. The data obtained by the Questionnaire measuring the manifestation forms and frequency of peer violence were processed by factor analysis, which yielded the following three factors of exposure to peer violence: direct, manipulative and social. Factor scores on these factors were used as criterion variables. In the first step, the variable of gender was entered into the regression, the second set included three socio-demographic variables, and the third set of variables comprised parental upbringing styles and violent behavior in the family. The cold upbringing style of the mother was identified as an important predictor for the exposure to direct peer violence; for the exposure to manipulative peer violence - the cold upbringing attitude of the father and mother; and for the exposure to social peer violence - gender (female) and the cold upbringing attitude of the father. The results are discussed in the context of pedagogical implications of the research, i.e. the guidelines for designing prevention programmes in schools focused on enhancing parental educational competences and students? social skills.

<p></p><p>This research has aimed to determine whether cyber-bullying peer violence is associated with depression, anxiety and stress in high school students. The research results are based on the data obtained from a sample of 202 Montenegrin high school students. It has been established that committing and experiencing e-violence is associated with depression. Committing and experiencing verbal online violence, as well as involvement in online counterfeiting/criminal acts, is associated with depression, while involvement in online identity concealment and lies has no connection with depression. When it comes to anxiety, the results of this research show that involvement in verbal e-violence and in online counterfeiting/criminal acts leads to anxiety, while committing and experiencing online identity concealmentis not related to anxiety. When it comes to committing and experiencing verbal online violence and stress, although there is a statistically significant difference, it is not applicable for all values. Consequently, we cannot draw a strong enough conclusion about it. Victims of online counterfeiting and criminal acts, according to the results of our research, have a higher level of stress than those not involved in this type of cyber-bullying peer violence.</p><p><i>Cyber victim and bullying scale </i>has been used to collect data on committing and experiencing e-violence among peers (Cetin, Yaman and Peker, 2011).Permission to use this scale was requested and obtained. The scale examines experiencing and committing online violence. It consists of two parts, each part containing 22 particles. In the first part (<i>Experiencing cyber-bullying </i>subscale), participants have assessed whether the described behavior happened to them,on a scale from 1 (never) to 5 (always).

We have chosen this scale because the results of a research checking its psychometric qualities have indicated that the DASS-21 scale’s psychometric qualities recommend it for use in researching unpleasant emotional states in adolescents. DASS-21 is a 21-item self-report measure giving three subclasses of seven items each: depression , anxiety and stress. Participants have been asked to indicate which statement applied to them over the past week on the Likert 4-point scale. DASS-21 has high reliability, consistent factor structure and high convergent valiadity. We did not have to ask permission for this scale and it can be used freely.</p><p></p>

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan pengaruh pada dimensi sibling relationship (warmth, relative power, conflict dan rivalry) terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik SMA Negeri di Jakarta Barat. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini ialah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis korelasional. Sampel yaitu 356 peserta didik SMA Negeri di Jakarta Barat (132 laki-laki dan 224 perempuan), usia 15-17 tahun, memiliki saudara kandung. Penentuan sampel menggunakan teknik multistage random sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan angket adaptasi, Sibling Relatonship Questionnaire (SRQ) yang disusun oleh Furman dan Buhrmester (1990) sebanyak 48 item dan Scale of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB) milik Ryff (1989) sebanyak 84 item. Uji validitas menggunakan expert judgement dan uji coba instrumen dengan rumus Person’s Product Moment. Uji reliabilitas menggunakan rumus Alpha Cronbach dengan SPSS v.25, diperoleh koefisien reliabilitas SRQ sebesar 0,916 dan SPWB sebesar 0,669. Teknik analisis data menggunakan Pearson’s Product Moment dan hipotesisnya diuji dengan One-Way ANOVA menggunakan program SPSS v.25. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dimensi warmth berpengaruh secara positif terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik (0,178 > 0,05), dimensi relative power berpengaruh secara positif terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik (0,109 > 0,05), dimensi conflict berpengaruh secara negatif terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik (-0,105 > 0,05) dan dimensi rivalry memiliki pengaruh negatif terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik (-0,114 > 0,05). Hasil uji hipotesis ANOVA menunjukkan bahwa Fhitung > Ftabel atau 4,786 > 2,39, dengan demikian sibling relationship secara keseluruhan memiliki pengaruh yang berbeda terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik SMA Negeri di Jakarta Barat. Namun, berdasarkan hasil Pearson Correlation dibandingkan dengan tabel koefisien korelasi, didapati bahwa pengaruh yang terjadi dari masing-masing dimensi pada sibling relationship terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik sangat rendah. Uji Tukey HSD juga menunjukkan bahwa hanya dimensi rivalry yang memiliki pengaruh berbeda dengan ketiga dimensi lainnya (warmth, relative power, conflict) terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik SMA Negeri di Jakarta Barat.   This study aims to determine the difference in affect of dimensions of sibling relationship (warmth, relative power, conflict and rivalry) on psychological well-being in senior high school students at West Jakarta.

Research Population

It was aimed in this study to reveal and compare strategies of students of three types of high schools to cope with stress through leisure time. The research population consisted of high school students in Konya province, Turkey. The sample consisted of 280 male and 224 female vocational high school, Anatolian  high school and sports high school students. In the study, the Demographic Personal Information Form was used to collect personal information. The “Strategies to Cope with Stress through Leisure Time Scale” (SCSLTS) was used to identify the leisure time strategies. This scale was developed by Iwasaki and Mannell (2000). It was translated into Turkish, and its validity and reliability studies were conducted by Çevik, Özcan and Munusturlar (2018). No difference was found in the strategies of the students to cope with stress through leisure time according to the grade level, income, and maternal and paternal educational level factors. Statistical variations were observed based on the gender and sporting factors (p<.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the mood enhancement dimension depending on the school type factor. However, it was found that the mean scores of the vocational high school students in terms of the dimensions of leisure time friendship and temporary coping ability were higher than those of the students of the other schools, and these differences were also statistically significant (p<.05). The vocational high school students had higher mean scores in the leisure time strategies sub-dimension than the students of other schools. Accordingly, it can be said that the leisure time strategy scores may differ according to the school type and that the students receiving vocational education were more optimistic in determining leisure time strategies than the students of Anatolian high school and sports high school.
