Clinically Significant

The following study is based on a sample of 241 9-13-year-old children (66 children from divorced parents, 175 children from non divorced parents). They were examined for differences regarding anxiety, self-esteem, different areas of competence, and degree of behavior problems. With a focus on the children’s experiences, the clinically significant differences were examined. Clinically significant differences, revealing more negative outcomes for the children of divorce, were only found for social anxiety and unstable performance. The frequency of clinical significant differences was independent of the length of time the parents had been separated. The perceived destructiveness of conflict between the parents one of four facets of interparental conflict in this study functioned as a central mediator of the statistically significant group differences. The children’s perception of the father’s social support was a less reliable indicator of variance. Further studies should try to make underlying theoretical assumptions about the effects of divorce more explicit, to distinguish clearly between mediating variables, and to investigate them with respect to specific divorce adjustment indicators.

This article is based on data taken from a larger study of family change in Ireland in which mothers of intact families were interviewed in 1975 and revisited in 2000. It charts a process of change in the relationship between these women and the Roman Catholic Church, particularly in relation to the areas of sexuality and the transmission of church teaching. Through the analysis of depth interviews a process of transformation is discerned which is illustrative of Beck's (1992) conceptualisation of individualisation and reflexive modernity.

The Difference

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of the number of students from non-intact families lacking self-confidence, thus causing him to be less able to see himself positively. The purpose of this study is to see the difference in self-concept of students from intact families and families not intact. This research is a quantitative type of research with a comparative descriptive method. The population in this study were all students of SMP 25 Padang in the 2018/2019 academic year, totaling 744 students. The total sample of 260 students (150 students from intact families and 110 students from non-intact families) was selected using the Stratified Random Sampling technique. The research instrument used was a Likert scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed by percentage formula technique and formula t test with the help of SPSS for Windows 16. 0. The results revealed that (1) self-concept of students from intact families were in the high category (2) self-concept of students from non-intact families in the category quite high, and (3) there is a significant difference between the self-concept of students from intact families and non-intact families with a significant level of 0,000. Based on the results of the study it was suggested to counselors to be able to provide guidance and counseling services, information services, individual counseling services, group guidance services and group counseling services to students from non-intact families, in order to help students realize positive self-concepts.

Straipsnyje analizuojamas 8-10 metų vaikų požiūris į tėvų skyrybas, aptariama skyrybų įvertinimo reikšmė vaikui prisitaikyti. Analizuojamas šeimoje patiriamų stresų kiekio, laiko po skyrybų ir požiūrio į skyrybas ryšys bei lyčių skirtumai.Tyrimas skirtas įvertinti vaiko įsitikinimus apie tėvų skyrybas bei požiūrį į aplinką ir aplinkinius žmones, palyginti išsiskyrusių šeimų vaikų ir pilnų šeimų vaikų požiūrį į aplinką ir aplinkinius žmones. Sprendžiama, kaip vaiko įsitikinimai apie tėvų skyrybas susiję su požiūriu į aplinką ir aplinkinius žmones. Atsižvelgiama į galimą šeimos/skyrybų stresiškumo, lyties ir laiko po skyrybų bei jų sąveikos ryšį su vaiko požiūriu į aplinką ir aplinkinius žmones.Rezultatai parodė, kad iš visų neadaptyvių įsitikinimų apie skyrybas vaikams labiausiai būdinga susijungimo viltis ir tėvo kaltinimas. Be to, vaikai baiminasi, kad juos paliks mama, mano, kad tėvų skyrybos gali paveikti jų santykius su draugais. Vaikų įsitikinimai palyginti su amerikiečių vaikų rezultatais. Rezultatai iš esmės neprieštarauja kitų autorių duomenims apie vaikų požiūrį į skyrybas. Pabrėžiama, kad pagal požiūrį į skyrybas galima spręsti apie vaiko požiūrį į aplinką ir aplinkinius žmones, o išsiskyrusių šeimų vaikų depresinio požiūrio, liūdesio, vienatvės išgyvenimai gali padidinti jų emocinį pažeidžiamumą. Gali būti, kad vaiko požiūrį į aplinką, aplinkinius žmones lemia tėvų skyrybų patyrimas ir kognityviniai-socialiniai veiksniai, visų pirma skyrybų supratimas, požiūris į skyrybas. CHILDREN‘S BELIEFS ABOUT PARENTAL DIVORCE Miglė Dovydaitienė Summar This article investigates children's beliefs about parental divorce and attitudes toward environment and people. Children's believes about parental divorce is evaluated in a sample 8 through 10-year children whose parents had been separated for about 3 years. Attitudes toward environment and people between children of separated as well as intact families is compared. We also examined the relation of children's beliefs about parental divorce and attitudes toward environment and people. The mediating effect of gender stresses in divorced and intact families and time since divorce is discussed. The analyses of results revealed that hope of reunification and parental blame occur most frequently. Chil-dren also are afraid of abandonment and common beliefs are peer ridicule and avoidance. Beliefs of Lithua-nian and American samples is being compared. The results in general are consistent with data of other investigators of the subject. We make a point on the relation of children's beliefs about parental divorce and attitudes toward environment and other people and stress the importance of children's attitude and beliefs toward children's vulnerability. Possible conclusion is that child-ren's attitude toward environment is effected by divorce experiences, and primary cognitive - social factors, such as divorce understanding, beliefs about divorce.

Married Mother

We study how childhood exposure to a nontraditional family (a working married mother, a married mother that is the primary breadwinner, or a non-married mother) affects gender role attitudes in young adulthood. Boys and girls develop more liberal gender attitudes when they spend more time with a non-married mother. In intact families, boys' gender attitudes, more than girls', appear positively influenced by the role model of a working mother, especially if she is also the primary breadwinner. However, the effect of childhood exposure to a mother with greater economic power on boys' gender attitudes is smaller in more gender conservative families.

Single Parent Families

The crude divorce rate has been increasing steadily for over a decade in China. Consequently, more and more children have to face the challenge of growing up in single parent families. The current study investigated the mediating effects of problem-oriented and emotion-oriented coping on the relationship between parental attachment and psychological resilience among a sample of Chinese adolescents from single parent families and intact families. Participants were 975 high school students (44.30% males; aged 15–19 years, M = 16.32 years, SD = 0.74), 871 from intact families and 104 from single parent families. Structural equation modeling showed that security in maternal attachment was positively associated with resilience through the indirect effect of reduced emotion-oriented coping among adolescents from single parent families. Among adolescents from intact families, security in maternal attachment was both directly associated with resilience and indirectly through enhanced problem-oriented and reduced emotion-oriented coping. Security in paternal attachment was associated with resilience both directly and indirectly through enhanced problem-oriented coping as well among those from intact families. Female adolescents exhibited significantly lower levels of resilience than male adolescents did regardless of the marital status of their parents. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
