Book excerpt: "This study examined the role of neighborhood quality in predicting change in relationship functioning over time. Neighborhood quality was assessed by factors derived from census data (low neighborhood socio-economic status, transience, demographic risk, and youthfulness), crime statistics, and men's and women's perceptions of neighborhood cohesion and decay. In a sample of 287 couples, Hierarchical Linear Modeling was used to determine the ability of neighborhood factors to predict change in relationship satisfaction and hostile conflict over the first 2 years of marriage. Women's perceptions of neighborhood decay (e.g., perceiving graffiti and violence as problems) were associated with higher levels of their own hostile conflict at the time of marriage. Crime was associated with relative decreases in men's satisfaction over time. In addition, several neighborhood variables moderated the association between hostile conflict and relationship satisfaction. When men perceived lower levels of neighborhood cohesion, their hostile conflict was associated with lower levels of both partners' relationship satisfaction at marriage (this was not significant when men perceived higher levels of cohesion). When women perceived lower levels of cohesion, increases in their hostile conflict over time were associated with concurrent decreases in both partners' satisfaction (this was not significant when women perceived higher levels of cohesion). In high demographic risk neighborhoods (e.g., high unemployment, poverty), men's hostile conflict was associated with their own lower satisfaction at marriage (and was not significantly associated with satisfaction in low risk neighborhoods). In contrast, women's hostile conflict was negatively associated with both partners' satisfaction in low risk neighborhoods and was positively associated with men's satisfaction in high risk neighborhoods. All of the results were significant after controlling for variables in the Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation framework (Karney & Bradbury, 1995) including neuroticism, initial hostile conflict, and parental divorce. Implications are discussed"--Leaves v-vi.

Book Dyadic Coping  A Collection of Recent Studies

Download or read book Dyadic Coping A Collection of Recent Studies written by Guy Bodenmann and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dyadic coping is a concept that has reached increased attention in psychological science within the last 20 years. Dyadic coping conceptualizes the way couples cope with stress together in sharing appraisals of demands, planning together how to deal with the stressors and engage in supportive or joint dyadic coping. Among the different theories of dyadic coping, the Systemic Transactional Model (STM; Bodenmann, 1995, 1997, 2005) has been applied to many studies on couples’ coping with stress. While a recent meta-analysis shows that dyadiccoping is a robust and consistent predictor of relationship satisfaction and couple’s functioning in community samples, some studies also reveal the significance of dyadic coping in dealing with psychological disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety) or severe illness (e.g., cancer, diabetes, COPD, etc.). Researchers all over the world build their research on this or other concepts of dyadic coping and many typically use the Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI) for assessing dyadic coping. So far, research on dyadic coping has been systematically presented in two books, one written by Revenson, Kayser, & Bodenmann in 2005, focussing on emerging perspectives on couples’ coping, the other by Falconier, Randall, & Bodenmann more recently in 2016, addressing intercultural aspects of dyadic coping in African, American, Asian and European couples. This eBook gives an insight into recent dyadic coping research in different areas and countries.

Download or read book The Group Effect written by John Bruhn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-06 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociologists and anthropologists have had a long interest in studying the ways in which cultures shaped different patterns of health, disease, and mortality. Social scientists have documented low rates of chronic disease and disability in non-Western societies and have suggested that social stability, cultural homogeneity and social cohesion may play a part in explaining these low rates. On the other hand, in studies of Western societies, social scientists have found that disease and mortality assume different patterns among various ethnic, cultural and social-economic groups. The role of stress, social change and a low degree of cohesion have been suggested, along with other factors as contributing to the variable rates among different social groups. Social cohesion has been implicated in the cause and recovery from both physical and psychological illnesses. Although there has been a large amount of work established the beneficial effects of cohesion on health and well-being, relatively little work has focused on HOW increased social cohesion sustains or improves health. This work is based on the premise that there are risk factors, including social cohesion that regulate health and disease in groups. One of the challenges is how to measure social cohesion – it can be readily observed and experienced but difficult to quantify. A better understanding of how social cohesion works will be valuable to improving group-level interventions.
