This study analyzed how social and emotional competencies evolved according to adolescents’ involvement in bullying, and whether gender influenced social and emotional competencies’ development. Five-hundred-fourteen students ( Mage = 12.71; SD = 1.09) were assessed through self-reports at three different time points for one year. Results showed that students involved in the three analyzed bullying roles displayed a more negative trajectory in all but one social emotional competence analyzed compared to students not involved in bullying. The exception was students who bullied others for responsible decision making. Additionally, gender differences were only found in self-esteem trajectories; boys displayed a more pronounced decrease. In larger classes, students displayed higher levels of self-control, social awareness and responsible decision-making. These results showed that reduced social and emotional competencies were a consequence of bullying involvement for every bullying role analyzed.

Abstract Addressing family needs for social/emotional support is part of the duty of oncology care teams. This research presents a (2020) scoping review and a (2019) focus group initiated to explore pediatric neuro-oncology parent experience of social/emotional support in conjunction with developing an online peer application to address family needs. Currently, the value of online support is in the forefront of clinical conversation. The focus group queried eight parents whose children were under neuro-oncology treatment in the Northwest USA. Thematic findings include—parents want supportive peers who have (1) a personal and deep understanding of parenting a child with serious illness (they “get it”); (2) particular characteristics and skills that promote and sustain relationships, including—(a) good social skills, (b) ability to engage in “balanced” (cancer/non-cancer) conversations, (c) individual similarities (beliefs, age of children, cancer diagnosis/treatment), (d) logistic commonalities (location, availability), (e) pro-social personal characteristics (i.e. sense of humor, emotional/social flexibility), and an (f) ability to navigate and maintain social/emotional boundaries. Parents also initiated discussion about “the burden of supportive relationships” and supporting families doing “normal” activities without worrying about treatment side effects and contagions. The literature review supports finding (1) above; reveals the paucity of evidence-based supports available to this population; underscores the critical need for practitioners and researchers to develop more evidence-based supports and interventions for families of children experiencing cancer; and supports practitioners’ consistently assessing parent and sibling social and emotional needs and then consistently referring or intervening when needs are identified.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to document the experiences, services, and programs provided to displaced university students from Puerto Rico and to offer recommendations to educational and community agencies regarding effective integration after a natural disaster. Through in-depth semi-structured interviews, this qualitative phenomenology study consisted of collecting oral histories of six displaced university students from Puerto Rico who relocated to Southwest Florida after Hurricane Maria. The analysis of the data indicated three themes, including (1) trauma after hurricane, (2) challenges and needs during relocation, and (3) conflicting feelings about the homeland and the United States. Although immediate, basic needs were met soon after relocation, in-depth, social-emotional needs, such as dealing with trauma and becoming acculturated in the new culture, remained unanswered. Recommendations are provided to higher education administration, professionals in education, and community agencies.

Data Set

In most contexts, emotional support is crucial for the well-being of low-income single women and their children. Support from women may be especially important for single mothers because of precarious ties to their children’s fathers, the prevalence of extended matrifocal living arrangements, and gendered norms that place men as providers of financial rather than emotional support. However, in contexts marked by economic insecurity, spatial dispersion of families, and changing gender norms and kinship obligations, such an expectation may be problematic. Applying theories of emotional capital and family bargaining processes, we address three questions: What is the gender composition of emotional support that single mothers receive? How does gender composition change over time? Does the gender composition of emotional support affect the self-reported stress of single mothers? Drawing on data from a unique data set on 462 low-income single mothers and their kin from Nairobi, Kenya, we uncover three key findings. One, whereas the bulk of strong emotional support comes from female kin, about 20 percent of respondents report having male-dominant support networks. Two, nearly 30 percent of respondents report change favoring men in the composition of their emotional support over six months. Three, having a male-dominant emotional support network is associated with lower stress. These results challenge what is commonly taken for granted about gender norms and kinship obligations in non-Western contexts.

Abstract Study question Are single women in fertility treatment stigmatised and what do they experience? Summary answer The women did not feel stigmatised. They experienced self-blame and negative thoughts about themselves, despite experiencing empowerment and receiving positive reactions from families and friends. What is known already Since 2007, medical doctors in Denmark have been permitted to offer medically assisted reproduction (MAR) also to single women. Denmark is a welfare state with a public health care sector providing MAR free of charge, 240 days of paid parental leave, and public full-time day-care. There has been an increase in the number of single women deciding to have children through the use of MAR. These women are referred to as ‘single mothers by choice’ (SMC), and they have been criticised for being selfish when raising a child without a father. Previous studies have shown how SMC can feel stigmatised. Study design, size, duration: Semi-structured qualitative interviews at a public fertility clinic in Copenhagen, Denmark. Data collection took place between September and October 2020. Participants/materials, setting, methods The participants were single and childless women (N = 6) undergoing MAR at the Fertility Clinic, Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark. Five women received IVF and one received IUI. The women were between 30 and 40 years old and were all residents in the Capital Region of Denmark. The interviews were audiotaped, anonymised, and transcribed in full. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Main results and the role of chance Single women did not differ from cohabiting women seeking MAR in relation to their experiences and attitudes towards motherhood. Four main themes were identified; (1) Experiences of single women seeking fertility treatment, (2) Emotions associated with becoming a single mother by choice, (3) The decision of becoming a single mother by choice, and (4) Family formation – a social interaction. The women would have preferred to have a child in a relationship with a partner and the shattered dream about the nuclear family has caused a wide range of experiences and emotions. The women did not feel stigmatised but they all had an awareness of the prejudices other people might have towards single mothers by choice. Hence, they were ready to defend their choice if necessary. On the other hand, they had received positive reactions and the process of becoming a single mother by choice was influenced by their social relations with family and friends. Despite their dream of the nuclear family the women choose to become SMC because motherhood was of such importance and they feared they would otherwise become too old to have children – the biological clock was ticking. Limitations, reasons for caution The participants were recruited from a public fertility clinic in the Capital Region of Denmark and may not be representative of all single women seeking MAR. Results might not be transferable to other countries with a different cultural context regarding the societal acceptance of different ways to establish a family. Wider implications of the findings: This study contributes to the understanding of the experiences of single women seeking fertility treatment in a welfare state where there are no differences in the possibilities for different social classes to seek MAR in the public health care sector.
