Scales of both communication styles as well as self-affirmation were chosen and the following results were obtained. The method supplies or top offensive common methods of communication within the family by medium (24.60), followed by an average affirmative method (22.98) and third style skylights average (19.63), finally came the affirmative method average (15.51), affirmative behavior also achieved Level (average), median (44.87) and a percentage of (56.08%). A positive relationship with a statistic significant was existed between all communication styles and self-affirmation of the participants except for the manipulative style. In addition, differences with a statistic significant were discovered between the medium degrees of communication styles and parents’ level of education. Furthermore, differences with a statistic significant were appeared on the participants’ medium degrees according to their family economic status. Conversely, no differences were pointed out for the manipulative and assertive styles. Moreover, differences with a statistic significant were noted on the participants, medium degrees in accordance with their birth order in the family. No differences were marked between participants for the aggressive and affirmative styles. Additionally, differences with a statistic significant were found between the participants, degrees in communication styles and their family size especially in the aggressive style. These differences were clear for those with an extended family while the differences between the affirmative and assertive styles were for students related to a nuclear family. No differences were obtained between both styles the passive and the manipulative. Furthermore, differences with a statistic significant were revealed between the participants, medium degrees of self-affirmation and their family level of education for those with post-secondary education parents. Similarly, differences were observed between the participants, self-affirmation and their family economic status for those with an outcome less than (5000) Riyals.

Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-Mother and Child samples, I investigated the relationships among child and adolescent depressive symptoms, having a chronically ill sibling, and other child and familial demographic variables. From research on social support and social role transitions, with the Stress Process as a theoretical model, I hypothesized that children with chronically ill siblings experience more depressive symptoms. Specifically, I looked at age, gender, birth order and family size as potentially reducing the effect size of having a chronically ill sibling. Findings showed that having a chronically ill sibling is associated with demonstrating more depressive symptoms both in the bivariate and multivariate analyses. Although age, gender, birth order and family size do not interact significantly with having a chronically ill sibling in predicting depressive symptoms, they do present interesting findings about childhood depressive symptoms in general. Thus, the results of this study suggest specific and meaningful paths for future research.

This study investigated the prediction of recidivism by birth order and family size. Subjects were 204 black, 193 white, and 4 other adult male offenders who completed a 10-item questionnaire during intake classification interviews. Birth-order and family-size categories were formed on the basis of Adlerian theory. Data were analyzed by a priori contrasts. A statistically significant effect was found for the firstborn adult, male offender. It is suggested that birth order is a promising area for future research.

The study was conducted to determine the fish retailer’s livelihood and socio-economic status in three markets of Jashore for a period of six months from February to August, 2016. The average net profit of fish retailers was found higher in Boro bazaar (Tk.350) followed by Palbari bazaar (Tk.325), Chuadanga Bus Stand bazaar (TK.275). The average age groups of 20-65 years were found among the markets. The study shows that 53% fish retailers had nuclear family and 47% had joint family. Most of the housing conditions were kacha (69%) and Muslim fish retailers were predominant in all markets. Among the total 45 traders interviewed, 42% were illiterate, 31% have primary level education, 24% have secondary level education and none of them had bachelor level of education. It was found that fish retailers of Boro bazaar and Palbari bazaar sold an average of 35 kg fish daily, compared with Chuadanga Bus Stand bazaar 15 kg per day. The daily supply of fish in Boro bazaar can be estimated at 1.6 MT (25 retailers’ × 65 kg) while 0.3 MT (15 retailers × 20 kg) and 0.45 MT (15 retailers × 30 kg) in C.B Bazar and Palbari bazaar respectively. Improvement in basic infrastructure such as, clean water supply, sanitation facilities, adequate drainage and ice facilities are recommended by the present study. Asian Australas. J. Food Saf.

Characteristics of the family of origin and of the present nuclear family were related to 10 factor-analytically derived dimensions of teacher behavior, based on student questionnaire responses. Birth order in family of origin was related to “criticism, disapproval, hostility vs tolerance” (with first borns more critical, later-borns more tolerant) among 69 male teachers of adults. The sex of the majority of the teachers' children related to a personalism factor, those with mostly male children tending to teach “impersonally;” those with mostly female children tending to teach with “personal expression.”

This article examines how the detention or deportation of a parent shapes the roles and responsibilities of young adults within the household and the consequences that these changes have on their educational experiences. Drawing from thirty-two in-depth interviews with young adults living in the United States whose parent was detained, author Carolina Valdivia finds that children’s responsibilities within the family abruptly change as soon as a parent is apprehended, with conditions worsening as the parent undergoes deportation proceedings. More specifically, young adults take on additional and a wider range of responsibilities to help their families cope emotionally and financially, including working additional jobs and spending more time taking care of younger siblings. The article also demonstrates how young adults’ gender, birth order, and level of education at the time of a parent’s immigration arrest shape their participation at home and notes how increased responsibilities affect their educational trajectories.

Children's school grades were examined in relation to birth order, sex of child, and sex of sibling. Subjects were 160 sixth grade children from two-child families. The grade-point-average, computed from end-of-year grades in five subject areas, was used as the dependent variable in analysis of variance. Girls received higher grades than boys and first-born children received higher grades when their sibling was a girl, while second born children received higher grades when their sibling was a boy. This study suggests that earlier findings of higher grades for first born may be due to confounding with family size and that birth order should not be used to explain children's achievement without considering other sibling-structure variables.

Among the most prevalent disabling diseases of old age, stroke is the leading chronic condition in Korea. The physical and psychosocial complications of a stroke can result in serious limitations on all aspects of one's life that affect overall quality of life. This study examines the relative importance of and interactions among factors which affect the quality of life of 119 stroke patients aged sixty-five and older in Korea. The model uses family support, personality (specifically hardiness), economic status, and physical functioning as independent variables, and quality of life as a dependent variable. The results of this study suggest that physical functioning and physical care by the family are important factors influencing quality of life of the aged stroke patients. Hardy personality is negatively associated with financial support and physical care by the family. These findings have several implications for policy development, clinical practice, and future research in this area.

The paper deals with certain aspects of the family background of upper classes pupils in a primary school in Split. Some of the basic moments of parental socio-economic status and general social milieu are illustrated as well. Specific qualities of interactions developed in these contexts between parents and their children are dealt with in particular. The empirical state "recorded" by a questionnaire at the begining of 1996 is presented in its entirety. It can be generally concluded that our young people establish a close relation between love - health - happiness - welfare. The four-item correlation seems to be a sort of motto to most of them. Within social relations, school as an institution and teachers as incumbents of the teaching process are not isolated factors, in spite of general claims as to on their passiveness. Most empirical findings inspire us with optimism and hope for a better future but at the same time they confirm an understanding that there does not exist any enclosed social area free of any kind of problems.
