The Impact

Interpersonal ties and intra-group processes influence the ability of people to work together effectively as teams. In the context of the family business team, intra-group processes describe the interaction that takes place between the family members and the resultant psychological climate that exists in the family business. Given the increasing number of sibling teams among family businesses, as well as the challenges they face as team members, this study focuses on sibling teams in family businesses and the intra-group processes that influence their success. Consequently, the primary objective of this study is to identify and empirically test the intra-group processes influencing the effectiveness of sibling partnerships. A structured questionnaire was distributed to 1323 sibling partner respondents. The respondents were identified by means of a convenience snowball sampling technique, and the data were collected from 371 usable questionnaires. The empirical findings of this study show that the sibling relationship and fairness are important determinants of sibling team effectiveness.

The Impact

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can impact the individual and their families. The impact on siblings is unique because they evolve from being another child in the family to a future adult who can be a potential resource to the family in supporting a member with ASD. Since the quality of care and support can be affected by the lived experiences of the carer and there are not many studies on siblings, this study examined the lived experiences of siblings of individuals with ASD. Methods: Fourteen siblings of individuals with ASD, aged 15–36 years, were recruited from a tertiary hospital, schools, and private institutes. A semistructured interview schedule was used to explore the lived experiences. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to identify the themes. Results: The themes based on IPA indicated that the siblings have very basic concerns like understanding the condition and complex issues such as coping, preparing for current and future roles, personal needs and expectations, need for a support system, and positive aspects of the sibling relationship. Nonetheless, the siblings minimized reporting their difficulties and focused more on the needs of the sibling with ASD. Conclusion: Siblings have diverse lived experiences, with a small element of positive experiences. Appropriate supports are needed to address the complexities of the lived experiences.

The Impact

The research main goal is to study patients diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia, more specifically the impact of projective distortion in the self description, and the self-concept disturbance, personality traits and family dynamics, also evaluating the influence of mental representations from both the patient and parents.It is essential to describe the semiology and phenomenology of Paranoid Schizophrenia in adults, the mental representations of these patients and their family psychodynamics. Special attention will be given to self-concept and the representation of family interactions, which several investigations mention as very relevant in Schizophrenia.Projective Distortion is considered to be the result of the interplay of defence mechanisms inside family relationships, conceptualized as an interactional and interpersonal phenomenon.Although there are some studies on the disturbances of self-concept in patients with Paranoid Schizophrenia, it has not been usual to simultaneously analyse both the Projective Distortion operating in the family and its impact on the patient mental representations, something that can be very relevant to therapeutic interventions.There will be presented 5 case studies, using interviews with patients diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia and their parents. These interviews will be conducted and analyzed using the Grounded Theory Method. That analysis aims to isolate significant conceptual categories, and to build a theoretical model which allows the understanding of Projective Distortion.

The paper examines the impact of the self-isolation regime during the COVID-19 pandemic on the emer-gence and escalation of marital conflicts. This issue is relevant not only for Russia, but also for the whole world due to the increasing divorce rates and cases of domestic violence. The author analyzes the forms of manifestation of marital conflicts, which are most likely to be provoked by the conditions of the pandemic and the self-isolation regime. The main theoretical approaches to identifying the caus-es of marital conflicts and forms of marital violence are highlighted. It is concluded that studying the impact of the consequences of the pandemic on the emergence and escalation of conflicts between spouses could be helpful to develop ways to reduce tension during the period of self-isolation and strengthen the institution of the family in modern Russia.

AbstractRecent attention has begun to focus on the impact of childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI) on the family. This study examined the impact of mild to moderate childhood TBI on parental ratings of well and injured siblings' behaviours in relation to well siblings' ratings of the impact of injury and the sibling relationship. Parents of 10 children with TBI and 10 children with orthopaedic injury rated both injured and well siblings' behaviours using the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL). Well siblings completed the Sibling Impact Questionnaire (SIQ) and Sibling Relationship Questionnaire (SRQ). Results indicated that children with TBI exhibited significantly more externalising and total behaviours than children with orthopaedic injury, while well siblings of children with TBI exhibited more internalising behaviours than siblings of children with orthopaedic injury. Well siblings' ratings of the impact of the injury and sibling relationship did not differ significantly across groups. The behaviours of well siblings and their ratings of injury impact and sibling relationship are examined in relation to the behaviours of the injured siblings for the two groups. The implications of the findings are examined in terms of the need to involve siblings in the rehabilitation process.

Mediante un estudio descriptivo desde un enfoque de investigación mixta basado en encuestas aplicadas a adultos mayores. Como resultados se obtuvieron las evidencias que conllevan a una profunda reflexión acerca de cómo los sentimientos de soledad, aislamiento y la carga de responsabilidades dentro del hogar traen consecuencias graves para la salud y la baja autoestima de los adultos mayores. Se requiere de propiciar dentro de las relaciones familiares la aceptación de sí mismo del adulto mayor, no cargarle con demasiadas responsabilidades dentro del hogar; propiciarle seguridad cuando cree que por su edad no sirve o es un estorbo, cuando no acepta los cambios en su cuerpo y se deprime, cuando es negativo, pesimista y le cuesta dar y recibir afecto. PALABRAS CLAVE: Adulto mayor; autoestima; relaciones familiares. IMPACT OF FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS ON THE SELF-ESTEEM OF OLDER ADULTS ABSTRACT The family plays a very important role, especially in the field of socio-emotional relationships, since it is the most suitable to provide feelings of security, usefulness, self-esteem, confidence and social support. Reaching old age would be much easier and more bearable if family relationships are fostered in a considerate, healthy and adequate environment for the elderly. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of family relationships on the self-esteem of older adults. Through a descriptive study from a mixed research approach based on surveys applied to older adults. As results were obtained the evidences that lead to a deep reflection about how the feelings of loneliness, isolation and the burden of responsibilities within the home bring serious consequences for the health and low self-esteem of the elderly. It is necessary to propitiate within the family relationships the acceptance of oneself of the older adult, not to burden him with too many responsibilities within the home; provide security when he believes that because of his age does not work or is a hindrance, when he does not accept changes in his body and is depressed, when he is negative, pessimistic and hard to give and receive affection. KEYWORDS: Older adults; self-esteem; family relationships.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify levels of self-compassion in adults who do and do not stutter and to determine whether self-compassion predicts the impact of stuttering on quality of life in adults who stutter. Method Participants included 140 adults who do and do not stutter matched for age and gender. All participants completed the Self-Compassion Scale. Adults who stutter also completed the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering. Data were analyzed for self-compassion differences between and within adults who do and do not stutter and to predict self-compassion on quality of life in adults who stutter. Results Adults who do and do not stutter exhibited no significant differences in total self-compassion, regardless of participant gender. A simple linear regression of the total self-compassion score and total Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering score showed a significant, negative linear relationship of self-compassion predicting the impact of stuttering on quality of life. Conclusions Data suggest that higher levels of self-kindness, mindfulness, and social connectedness (i.e., self-compassion) are related to reduced negative reactions to stuttering, an increased participation in daily communication situations, and an improved overall quality of life. Future research should replicate current findings and identify moderators of the self-compassion–quality of life relationship.
