Uurimuse eesmärk oli välja selgitada, kuidas seostuvad hilisteismeliste väärtustega tajutud eakaaslaste ja õpetajate hoolivus, aga ka kooli asukoht ja pere sotsiaalmajandusliku staatuse näitajad. Uurimuses osales 528 kümnenda klassi õpilast (keskmine vanus 16,25). Nende väärtusi hinnati Schwartzi portreeküsimustikuga ning tajutud eakaaslaste ja õpetajate hoolivust kahe üksikväitega. Tulemused näitasid, et teismelised väärtustasid enim heasoovlikkust ja hedonismi. Väikelinna koolide õpilastele oli võim vähem oluline ning turvalisus olulisem kui suurlinna koolide õpilastele. Teismelised, kelle emal oli kõrgem haridus, pidasid kõikehaaravust vähem oluliseks kui need, kelle emal oli madalam haridustase. Kui eakaaslaste hoolivus teismeliste väärtustega ei seostunud, siis õpetajate hoolivus seostus enamiku väärtustega. Mida hoolivamatena tajuti õpetajaid, seda kõrgemalt väärtustati teiste inimeste heaolule, looduse hoidmisele ja reeglite järgimisele orienteeritud väärtusi.  Summary

Family Socioeconomic Status

The school system, regardless of the level of operation, is generally accepted as a major agent of education. It provides avenues for interaction between students and teachers on subject matters. However, the location of the school determines many students’ knowledge, attitude and practices.  Also, there is an increasing awareness of the importance of the parents’ role in the progress and educational development of their children. Family background as an important and weighty factor in determining the academic performance attained by the student needs to be investigated. This study adopted a pre-test-post-test control group quasi-experimental design. Intact class of Junior Secondary School II Social Studies students in each of the six schools in Oyo state were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Three validated instruments were used in this study, and they are the Environmental Education Knowledge Test (EEKT), Environmental Education Attitude Scale (EEAS) and Environmental Education Practice Questionnaire (EEPQ). The data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) with the pretest scores used as covariates. All the null hypotheses were tested at a P < .05 level of significance. The study showed a significant two-way interaction effect of family socioeconomic status and school location on students’ eco-friendly knowledge, attitude and practices. It was recommended that schools should be kept safe and parents should develop more streams of income, as a single income source has become a great economic challenge in Nigeria.

Social Determinant Of Health

AbstractSocial determinants of health frameworks are standard tools in public health. These frameworks for the most part omit a crucial factor: the family. Socioeconomic status moreover is a prominent social determinant of health. Insofar as family functioning is poorer in poor families and family structure and functioning are linked to health, it is critical to consider the pathways between these four constructs. In this correspondence, we reflect on how empirical studies of this conceptual nexus mirror two causal models. We conclude by reflecting on future directions for research in this field.

Family Representation

A child’s family representation is one of the crucial factors of psychological and social development in older preschoolers. The article emphasizes that the relationships between a child’s family socioeconomic status (SES) and family representation are mediated. Family members’ perception and evaluation of their socioeconomic status are conditioned with subjective economic well- being. It influences family functioning which, in its turn, conditions particular characteristics of a child’s emotional experiences in family situation and his/her family representations. The analysis of relationships between subjective economic well-being of family members and a child’s family representations demonstrates the trend to increase in severity of poor well-being markers in case of increase of parental markers of financial stress, financial deprivation and financial anxiety. An empirical classification of family representation types in children from families with various SES is provided. It includes positive family representation “Favorable family”, family representation with some elements of disharmony “Unstable family”, representation of a distant family “Distant family”, conflict family representation “Conflict family”, negative family representation “Unfavorable family”.
