Book Parenting and the Child s World

Download or read book Parenting and the Child s World written by John G. Borkowski and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001-10-01 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stimulated by the publication of The Nurture Assumption by Judith Rich Harris, Parenting and the Child's World was conceived around the notion that there are multiple sources of influence on children's development, including parenting behavior, family resources, genetic and other biological factors, as well as social influences from peers, teachers, and the community at large. The text's 39 contributors search for when, where, and how parenting matters and the major antecedents and moderators of effective parenting. The chapters focus on the major conceptual issues and empirical approaches that underlie our understanding of the importance of parenting for child development in academic, socio-emotional, and risk-taking domains. Additional goals are to show how culture and parenting are interwoven, to chart future research directions, and to help parents and professionals understand the implications of major research findings.

Download or read book Girls at Puberty written by J. Brooks-Gunn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication of this volume at this time appears particularly auspi cious. Biological, psychological, and social change is greater during the pubertal years than at any other period since infancy. While the past two decades have witnessed a virtual explosion of productive research on the first years of life, until recently research on adolescence, and particularly on puberty and early adolescence, has lagged substantially behind. This book provides encouraging evidence that things are changing for the better. Considered separately, the individual chapters in this book include important contributions to our growing knowledge of the biological mechanisms involved in pubertal onset and subsequent changes, as well as of the psychological and social aspects of these changes, both as con sequences and determinants. In this regard, the book clearly benefits from the breadth of disciplines represented by the contributors, includ ing developmental endocrinology, adolescent medicine, pediatrics, psy chology, and sociology, among others.

Book Family Life in Adolescence

Download or read book Family Life in Adolescence written by Patricia Noller and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many parents fear the time when their beautiful happy children will become unmanageable adolescents continually engaging in risky or destructive behaviour. Unfortunately, this view of adolescents is the focus of the media, even though it relates to just a small proportion of young people. As the large amount of research we report shows, most adolescents are responsible young people who care about their families and crave the support of their parents. It is also true, however, as much research indicates, that the quality of the relationship parents have with their adolescents is crucial to the wellbeing of those young people. We discuss the need for parents to set reasonable limits on their adolescents and to expect appropriate behavior. We also show, on the basis of research, that children who have experienced positive, caring relationships with their parents are more likely than other adolescents to behave responsibly. In other words, behavior in adolescence does not ‘come out of nowhere’ but builds on earlier experiences in the family. Because of the large amount of research reported in this volume, we expect that it will be useful to practitioners from a range of professions that are likely to focus on adolescents: social workers, youth leaders, welfare workers, religious leaders, psychologists and psychiatrists and contribute to a better understanding of young people and their development, and the importance of families to that development.

Book The Influence of Perceptual Congruence of Parental Appraisals on Adolescent Self esteem

Download or read book The Influence of Perceptual Congruence of Parental Appraisals on Adolescent Self esteem written by Kenneth C. Kuhn and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract. Research regarding socialization factors which affect the development of self-esteem among adolescents has isolated the formative influence of parental appraisals. The bulk of this research, however, has relied upon adolescent perceptions for data regarding parental interest. Within the framework of the symbolic interaction perspective, this study compares responses from adolescents and parents to assess the discrete and combined effects of parental interest factors (as reported by parents) and perceived parental interest factors (as reported by adolescents) on adolescent self-evaluations, in the context of selected social structural, developmental and competence factors. Conditions influencing the congruence of the adolescent perception of parental interest with parental self-reports are also examined. A theoretical model of ordered propositions is tested using survey responses from 1542 grade 7, 9 and 12 students, 697 of their mothers and 592 fathers. The unidimensional Rosenberg self-esteem scale is used to measure adolescent self-esteem. The results find that adolescent self-esteem does not vary significiantly with socio-economic status or religious preference. Although boys and girls do not differ on the basis of cross- markedly in self-evaluations, sectional analysis female adolescents significantly decrease in self-esteem between grades 7 and 9. Grade point average is found to be positively related to self-esteem independent of sex, grade and social class. Participation in organizations is not found to be independently related to self-esteem. The perception of parental support, permissive disciplinary practices and normative control attitudes are found to be positively related to adolescent self-esteem. Adolescents' perceptions of parental interest factors are generally related to parental self-reports of interest. The independent parental self-reports, however, are found to be unrelated to adolescent self-esteem, or are related at much lower levels than are the adolescent perceptions of interest. It is concluded that parental appraisals take on meaning for adolescent self-evaluations only when this interest is perceived by the adolescent. The perceptual congruence of adolescent reports of parental interest with parental reports is found to be unrelated to the sex, grade level and academic performance of the adolescent or to family position or authority structure, but is positively related to affect. The advisability of examining perceptual factors in family research is noted.
