Child With A Disability

Raising a child with a disability is a challenge for many parents. So is raising a child in a foster/adoptive family. In both cases, parents have to deal with unusual situations that may weaken or strengthen their relationship with each other. Dealing with fulfilling the role of a foster/adoptive parent of a child with a disability can be a challenge which may affect the relationship between the spouses. Available literature does not provide, however, much in-depth information on foster families raising children with disabilities. The article presents the results of qualitative research whose aim was to show the relationship between adoptive/foster parents raising children with disabilities. The study involved parents from 20 adoptive and foster families.

The article Becoming what we pray: Three images, three voices by professor Michael Plekon presents three persons who were very important for Orthodox culture, spirituality and thought — saint Seraphim of Sarov, Mother Maria Skobtsova and Paul Evdokimov. Showing the most substantial facts from their life and activity the author exhibits the real transformation, metamorphosis of their personalities, hearts and consciousnesses under the action of practice of the Jesus' Prayer or the prayer of the heart. The main aim of the article is — one can suppose — to underline the role of the Jesus' Prayer in changing people who systematically practicing it in their life, and in giving them the power to go over the stereotypes, myths and customs, even religious. The heart of the matter is emphasizing — in positive meaning — the real close union between the prayer andthe life and the relationship with neighbour. Professor Plekon stresses that “the personaland interior aspects of this prayer are never separated from liturgical prayer and ourlives”. Christians believe in salvation and resurrection of Jesus Christ and they practice the Jesus Prayer, but this prayer formula is not only devoid of life meaning formula but it is the method of changing the whole human mentality, in each everyday circumstances concerning family, marriage, work, life in monastic community, doing shopping, reading books, watching TV programs, raising children, writing the scientific articles, being in different social and cultural situations, generally — it changes all, the vision of life and the universe.

Experimental Background

With the increasing prevalence of technology, the internet is often the first step for potential pet owners searching for an adoptable dog. However, best practices for the online portrayal of shelter and foster dogs remain unclear. Different online photo backgrounds appearing on adoption websites for shelter dogs may impact adoption speed by influencing viewer interest. Online clicking behaviour on pet profiles and human-directed sociability, broadly defined, has been previously linked to increased adoption likelihood. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the relationship between photo backgrounds of shelter dogs and online clicking as well as perceived human-directed sociability. In a virtual experiment, 680 participants were asked to rank the sociability and friendliness of four different adoptable dogs on a scale from 0–10. The photo background of each dog was digitally altered and randomly assigned to four experimental background conditions: 1) outdoor, 2) home indoor, 3) in-kennel, and 4) plain coloured. As a proxy for adoption interest, a link to the dog’s adoption profile was presented on each slide and the clicking behaviour of participants on this link was recorded. Mixed logistic regression and Poisson models revealed that background did not affect participants’ link-clicking behaviour (chisq = 3.55, df = 3, p = .314) nor perceptions of sociability (statistic = 6.19, df = 3, p = .103). Across all backgrounds, only 4.74% of presented slides culminated in participant link-clicking. Sociability scores also did not predict link clicking. Assessment of participant-related factors and dog ID revealed that link-clicking and sociability scores of photographs were influenced by differences between dogs themselves and unaffected by participants’ awareness of study hypotheses. We conclude that artificial background types did not affect participant responses. The results demonstrate the importance of empirical data in making marketing decisions in animal shelters. Understanding which aspects of online marketing materials impact viewer interest will provide guidance for both animal shelter personnel and foster families to improve the speed of adoption of the animals in their care.

Child With A Disability

A certain percentage of disabled children are not raised in their biological families. It happens more and more often that the place of residence of such a child is not an institution but the adoptive or foster family. Increased prevalence of this type of families makes the study of this area of functioning of children with disabilities more and more important. The paper covers the issue of dealing with a child’s difference by their adoptive/foster parents. The difference has its source e. g. in a disability. The empirical part of the article is the result of qualitative research conducted with parents from 20 adoptive/foster families that raise a child with a disability (this is a part of a broader research project conducted by the authors with these families). The analysis of the interviews shows the ways to discover the otherness, the difference of the child, the ways to accept this otherness, and the importance they ascribe to the otherness of the child.

Among the numerous factors of the subject genesis of teachers, social intelligence plays an important role. Social intelligence is defined as a special quality of a person, her ability to understand, differentiate and predict the verbal and non-verbal behavior of other people and the consequences, quickly and easily come into contact with them, which determine the effectiveness of social interaction. The results of the relationship between social intelligence and mental burnout were obtained by researchers. The problem of the role of social intelligence in overcoming mental burnout is relevant and poorly researched. The teachers working at the Kursk boarding school for children with disabilities at the Kursk boarding school for children with disabilities (all participants are females; N = 50; professional experience up to 43 years) voluntarily took part in the study. Observation and conversation, as well as standardized techniques for diagnosing burnout and social intelligence, were used from a number of empirical methods. To process the research results, computer methods were used by the mathematics of statistical analysis. It has been empirically proven that the underdeveloped ability of teachers to understand the change in the meaning of similar verbal reactions of students, their parents, colleagues, administration (F=4,38; df=2,47; β =-0,412; р=0,019), as well as to logically generalize and highlight common and significant signs in their various non-verbal reactions (F=3,90; df=2,47; β = 0,364; p=0,030) increase the risk of mental burnout. On the contrary, well-developed abilities to foresee the consequences of the behavior of other people in a certain situation can be considered as a factor in overcoming psychosomatic and psycho-vegetative disorders (F = 136,66; β = -0,952; р =0,0000), irritability, resentment, harshness, rudeness, emotional and personal isolation (F = 115,17; β = -0,840; р = 0,0000), the feeling that it is emotionally impossible to help their wards (F = 115,33; β = -0,936; р = 0,0000).

The article presents a theoretical analysis of scientific literature on the problems of foster families raising children with disabilities, identifies the difficulties of parents in effectively solving the health problems of a child with disabilities caused by weak motivation, stress, and lack of experience, competencies, and relevant knowledge. This work investigated and identified the grounds for developing a typology of foster families raising children with disabilities and proposed a typology according to them. To achieve the research objective, the methods of interviews, expert assessments, and classification were used. The conclusion is that the developed typology can serve as the basis for representatives of the guardianship and wardship authorities when selecting an appropriate foster family for a child, and foster parents will be able to provide an appropriate training and education model for effective rehabilitation, correction, and health recovery of this category of children.

Adoption provides a unique opportunity to study the simultaneous effect on adoptees’ development of environmental influences related to adoptive parenting, and children’s biology-based characteristics. In this paper, two Hybrid Dyadic Models were tested to study the mediational role of the adoptees’ negative reactivity on the relationship between mothers and fathers’ supportive (Model A) and unsupportive (Model B) parenting, and adoptees’ social skills. In a sample of 102 couples, mothers and fathers’ reports on adoptees’ social skills, the adoptees’ negative reactivity, and supportive/unsupportive parenting were explored. Supportive/unsupportive parenting was assessed individually (mothers and fathers separately), whereas the adoptees’ negative reactivity and social skills were treated as common fate variables, with both parents’ scores as indicators of a latent construct. Results were non-significant for Model A. Regarding Model B, different relation patterns between unsupportive parenting and social skills were found, depending on whether it was the mother's or the father's parenting. The child's negative reactivity mediated the relationship between the father's (not the mother's) unsupportive parenting and the child's social skills. With information from both parents and considering simultaneously their unique and shared perspectives, this study advances adoption research and strengthens the relevance of dyadic analyses when studying the adoptive family dynamics.

Life Satisfaction Index

The paper presents the results of an empirical study of the viability, hardiness and life satisfaction index of parents raising children with disabilities in Khabarovsk city, Russian Federation. According to the results of the study, parents who raise children with disabilities show deteriorated performance on all tests. As a result of the analysis on the viability tests and the “life satisfaction index”, statistically significant differences were revealed between the two groups of the sample; on the hardiness test, such differences were shown only on one of the scales. It was found that viability for parents of children with disabilities is not a full resource. The study confirmed the key role of the indicator “meaningfulness of life” as a “vertical” factor of viability. According to the data obtained using the “Life satisfaction index” test, the most powerful influence on the value of the life satisfaction index of parents raising children with disabilities is provided by indicators of consistency between goals set and achieved and the general mood background. In addition, these indicators also strongly correlate with each other. The results of the study showed that both groups of parents who participated in the study demonstrated sufficient ability to withstand a stressful situation. Parents raising children with disabilities have a low value of the indicator “control” as an emotional and volitional element of the scale.
