Aggressive Children

We introduce the construct of perceived containment, defined as children's beliefs about adults' capacity to impose firm limits and to prevail if there is a conflict in goals. We propose that children's containment beliefs represent an important but understudied factor in the development and maintenance of childhood aggression. Children's ratings on the Perceived Containment Questionnaire (PCQ) were inversely related to parent and teacher ratings of externalizing problems. Moreover, this relation was found to be independent of the quality of parental discipline. We also found evidence that perceived containment moderated the relation between overly harsh, inept discipline and children's externalizing behaviors: ineffective discipline was directly related to externalizing problems in children with relatively high PCQ scores but was unrelated to externalizing problems in children with relatively low PCQ scores. For the latter group of children, the affective quality of the mother–child relationship was a better predictor of problem behavior. These findings provide additional support for Kochanska's (1993) model of differential socialization and for Frick's (1998) assertions concerning meaningful subgroups of aggressive children.

The Impact

Parental incarceration (PI) is negatively associated with emotional, educational, and psychological child outcomes. However, few studies explore potential mechanisms through which these outcomes are transmitted or the means by which prosocial outcomes might develop. This study used data from two waves of a population cohort study of children aged 9 years and followed up aged 13 years living in Ireland. Children and parents ( N = 8,568) completed measures of PI, primary caregiver (PCG) depression, PCG-child relationship quality, and child behavioral adjustment. We then conducted a secondary analysis on this national longitudinal study of children in Ireland. Using sequential mediation models, we observed a mediated indirect effect of PI on prosocial outcomes via PCG depression and PCG-child relationship quality. PI at age 9 was associated with increased difficulties and reduced prosocial behavior at age 13. Additionally, PI at age 9 affected PCG depression and the PCG-child relationship quality. Additionally, child prosocial outcomes, and emotional and behavioral difficulties were less apparent where PI had a weaker effect on PCG depression and the quality of PCG-child relationship. Supports that can mitigate the impact of PI for vulnerable caregivers and children are discussed.

AbstractOlder people today are more likely to age in their own private living environment. However, many face declining health and/or other issues that affect their ability to live independently and necessitate additional support. Such support can be provided by formal networks, but a considerable part can also be offered by informal networks of older people themselves. Going beyond these networks, older people can additionally and perhaps even more substantially benefit from vital communities. Nevertheless, even though this term is increasingly common in the literature, its meaning remains indistinct. A more thorough understanding of this concept might provide valuable knowledge that health care professionals, researchers and community workers can use to offer meaningful and effective support. The purpose of this paper is to draw on existing empirical research on vital communities to build knowledge of the different descriptions and dimensions of the concept. Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review methodology was adopted. Our search, conducted on 23 March 2020 and updated on 06 January 2021, yielded 4433 articles, of which six articles were included in the scoping review. We deduced that the conceptualisation of a vital community is based on three dimensions: the aim of a vital community, the processes behind a vital community and the typical characteristics of a vital community. None of the selected studies have mapped all three dimensions. Nevertheless, we assume that understanding all three matters when vital communities aim to contribute to the quality of life of people ageing in place.

Transactional Associations

This study used longitudinal data to examine the transactional associations between mothers’ spanking and mother–child relationship quality with children’s externalizing behaviors in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV). Data came from a sample of 1,152 low-income mothers with children age 10–14 years. Results showed that past-year IPV triggered transactional associations by increasing children’s externalizing behaviors which, in turn, increased spanking and subsequently more externalizing behaviors. Transactional associations were also found for relationship quality. All outcomes used were mothers-reported except relationship quality. Implications for practice include the importance of the mother–child dyad and their reciprocal processes in assessment and treatment.

And Behavior

AbstractMost out-of-home placed children have experienced early adversities, including maltreatment and neglect. A challenge for caregivers is to adequately interpret their foster child’s internal mental states and behavior. We examined caregivers’ mind-mindedness in out-of-home care, and the association among caregivers’ mind-mindedness (and its positive, neutral, and negative valence), recognition of the child’s trauma symptoms, and behavior problems. Participants (N = 138) were foster parents, family-home parents, and residential care workers. Caregivers’ mind-mindedness was assessed with the describe-your-child measure. Caregivers’ recognition of the child’s trauma symptoms, their child’s emotional symptoms, conduct problems, prosocial behavior, and quality of the caregiver-child relationship were assessed using caregivers’ reports. Foster parents produced more mental-state descriptors than did residential care workers. General mind-mindedness, as well as neutral and positive mind-mindedness, related negatively to conduct problems. Besides, positive mind-mindedness was associated with prosocial behavior and neutral mind-mindedness with a better quality of the caregiver-child relationship and fewer child conduct problems. Negative mind-mindedness related positively to the caregiver’s recognition of the child’s trauma symptoms, and indirectly, to emotional symptoms. In conclusion, mind-mindedness seems to be an essential characteristic of out-of-home caregivers, connected to the understanding of their child’s behavior problems and trauma symptoms, as well as to the relationship with the child. The findings suggest a possible use of mind-mindedness in out-of-home care evaluation and intervention.

Are parents and families struggling with the ongoing demands of the pandemic, or are parents resilient and adjusted to the ‘new normal’? Assessing average risk versus resilience requires examining how parents and families have fared across the pandemic, beyond the initial months examined in prior investigations. The current research examines average levels of risk versus resilience in parents’ health and functioning over the first 1.5 years of the pandemic. Parents (N = 272) who had completed general assessments prior to the pandemic completed reassessments of psychological and physical health, couple and family functioning, and parenting within two lockdowns involving mandatory home confinement: at the beginning of the pandemic (26 March–28 April 2020) and 17 months later (18 August–21 September 2021). On average, parents exhibited declines in psychological and physical health (greater depressive symptoms; reduced well-being, energy and physical health) and in couple and family functioning (reduced commitment and family cohesion; greater problem severity and family chaos). By contrast, parent-child relationship quality and parenting practices were resilient with no average differences across the lockdowns. Declines in health and couple/family functioning generally occurred irrespective of pre-existing vulnerabilities (poor health and functioning prior to the pandemic) and external stress (reported impact of the pandemic). Partner support, however, tended to buffer declines in couple/family functioning. The results emphasize that attending to the challenges parents and couples face in the home will be important targets to mitigate the ongoing risks of the pandemic to parents’ and children’s well-being.

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini dilakukan pada salah satu produsen spare part otomotif PT. XYZ memiliki permasalahan dan menjadi perhatian serius pada bagian pengelasan adanya produk cacat yang dapat menurunkan nilai dan kualitas produk sehingga banyak produk yang ditolak oleh konsumen karena tidak sesuai dengan standar, dimana banyak terdapat kotoran las (Spatter) yang menmpel pada Joint Exhaust produk Half Outer Comp merupakan bagian komponen dari knalpot sehingga mengurangi produktifitas produksi pada bagian inspeksi akhir, permasalahan di atas dianggap perlu dilakukan penelitian untuk mencari penyebab hal tersebut. Beberapa langkah dilakukan guna memperbaiki cacat yang ada yaitu langkah awal dilakukan observasi dan wawancara ke bagian produksi, metode yang digunakan untuk pengolahan data hasil observasi menggunakan metode DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analisys, Improve, Control), kemudian dilakukan optimalisasi dan modifikasi Jig Welding dengan mendesain ulang menggunakan perangkat software Solidwork versi 2018, kemudian mengubah posisi Jig sebelumnya vertikal menjadi horizontal agar supaya pada saat pengelasan Spatter tidak langsung jatuh ke Joint Exhaust dan memberikan penahan tambahan pada Jig guna mengurangi jumlah Spatter menempel pada Half Outer Comp. Pada penelitian ini diperoleh hasil dimana jumlah Spatter yang menempel pada Joint Exhaust sangat berkurang dan memperoleh hasil produk yang lebih baik sehingga meningkatkan produktivitas pada bagian inspeksi akhir sebelumnya 58,33% menjadi sebesar 83.33%.  Kata Kunci :  Optimalisasi, Spatter, DMAIC, Desain, Solidwork 2018 ABSTRACTThis research was conducted at one of the automotive spare part manufacturers PT. XYZ has a problem and is a serious concern on the welding part of the presence of defective products that can reduce the value and quality of the product so that many products are rejected by consumers because it does not comply with standards, where there is a lot of welding dirt (Spatter) which attaches to the Joint Exhaust Half Outer Comp product is a component of the muffler so as to reduce production productivity at the final inspection, the above problems are considered necessary to do research to find the cause of it. Several steps were taken to correct existing defects, namely the initial steps carried out observation and interviews to the production department, the method used for processing the observation data using the DMAIC method (Define, Measure, Analysis, Improve, Control), then optimization and modification of Jig Welding with redesign using the 2018 Solidwork software tool, then changing the position of the previous vertical jig to horizontal so that when welding Spatter does not directly fall into the Joint Exhaust and provide additional support to the Jig to reduce the number of Spatter attached to the Half Outer Comp. In this study the results obtained where the number of Spatter attached to the Joint Exhaust is greatly reduced and obtain better product results thereby increasing productivity in the previous final inspection section of 58.33% to 83.33%. Keywords : Optimization, Spatter, DMAIC, Design, Solidwork 2018
