Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family systems theory posits that it is impossible to dissociate the quality of family relationships from children's and adolescents' social and emotional development. Previous research demonstrates that adolescents' psychological health is influenced by the way parents respond to their adolescents' emotions and by the quality of the interparental relationship. However, few studies have examined associations between parental responses to adolescent emotions and adolescent psychological health in a triadic family context. The present study examined how parents' responses to adolescents' emotions in a triadic family context are associated with adolescent depressive and anxiety symptoms and interparental relationship quality. Fifty-two families participated in the present study when the children were in 9th grade. Results showed that adolescents who expressed more negative emotion tended to have more depressive and anxiety symptoms. Consistent with hypotheses, mothers who were more likely to respond to adolescents' negative emotions with validation/interest reported higher couple communication quality. Also consistent with hypotheses, fathers who were more likely to respond to adolescents' positive and negative emotions negatively reported lower interparental relationship quality. In addition, fathers who were more likely to respond to adolescents' positive emotions with validation/interest reported better interparental relationship quality. The current study moves beyond the dyadic characterization of parental responsiveness to adolescents' emotions. Findings from this work have implications for developing informed interventions to focus on influences of the whole family picture rather than on a single parent's relationship with the adolescent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999. The adolescent period is marked by changes in the biological, psychological, cognitive, and social dimensions of the individual, as well as by changes in the adolescents' multilevel context (i.e., the peers, family, school, and other institutions in his or her ecology). Adolescence is a dynamic period, one which exemplifies the importance of understanding the relations between the developing individual and his or her changing context. The articles included in this volume represent the current range of scholarship pertaining to adolescents and their families, and exemplify the use of such an approach. The articles underscore the continual importance of the family across adolescence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parent-adolescent discord is often handled from a unitary perspective, whether the focus is on enhancing parenting skills, resolving conflicts in family relationships, or working to improve the behavior of the individual child. This important work shows the clinician how to incorporate all of these crucial elements into a single, research-based treatment program. Presented is the authors' influential integration of cognitive-behavioral constructs and family systems theory, grounded in consideration of adolescent developmental concerns. The book describes effective ways to conceptualize and assess the problems of embattled parents and teens; use assessment data in treatment planning; overcome resistance and other therapeutic hurdles; and implement carefully sequenced skills training, cognitive restructuring, and functional/structural interventions. The theoretical and empirical bases of the treatment approach are also discussed in depth.

Download or read book The Adolescent in the Family written by Patricia Noller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence can be a difficult time for all concerned. Issues such as high youth unemployment, sexual behaviour and drug abuse have made it a matter of great concern for the community at large, whether as parents, politicians or those working with adolescents in education and welfare. In addition, many parents fear that these problems could affect their own families. Originally published in 1991, the authors explore the complex needs of adolescents emphasising the importance of the family environment in helping adolescents cope with the many difficulties and changes they face during this period of their lives. The central theme is that adolescents, through conflict and negotiation, establish new but different relationships with their parents, relationships that can endure for a lifetime. The authors provide wide coverage of the key issues of adolescence, such as identity, separation from the family, and conflict, and look closely at the difficulties produced by events such as the divorce and re-marriage of parents, and social problems such as long-term unemployment. With its positive approach to the family and adolescents, this clear, concise and helpful book will be invaluable both to parents and to the many professionals whose work involves them with adolescents.

Download or read book Families with Adolescents written by Stephen M. Gavazzi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-06 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of this book offers an expanded and updated blueprint for more consistently improved practice, emphasizing family process and structure instead of only individual developmental stages. Its chapters deftly summarize the recent knowledge base about families with adolescents and explains how to apply these results across mental health and social services disciplines. The new edition clearly illustrates family concerns and theoretical perspectives through real-world vignettes and cogent use of family assessment measures. Chapters offer a broad understanding of how diversity in all its forms – including race/ethnicity, culture, religion, and sexual orientation – has created a much more nuanced understanding of how families with adolescents are able to function within their environment. Both major challenges to families and communities form the backdrop of the second edition’s focus on forecasting in which the theoretical, empirical, and intervention literatures necessarily move in service to the health and well-being of families with adolescents. Featured topics include: Central concepts of family development, family systems, ecological, attachment, and social learning theories in relation to families with adolescents. Influence of the family on adolescent problem behavior, mental health concerns, substance use issues, educational attainment, and social competence outcomes. Selected studies on parenting behaviors, conflict resolution, and other major aspects of families with adolescents. Application topics in family-based intervention and prevention programs. Integrating theory, research, and applications to create a “triple threat” model. Diversity issues surrounding race/ethnicity, culture, religion, and sexual orientation. Families with Adolescents, Second Edition, is an essential resource for researchers, professors, and graduate and advanced undergraduate students as well as professionals and other mental health clinicians, practitioners, and therapists in clinical child and developmental psychology, family studies, human development, sociology, social work, education, and all allied disciplines.

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.

Download or read book Emotions and the Family written by Richard Fabes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The family is the place where minds come in contact with one anotherBuddha Emotions and the Family reflects the dramatic change in how professionals and practitioners working with today's families view the role of emotions in general family and marital processes. Professionals, researchers, and academics present a wide variety of approaches to the study of emotion and family functioning, providing a rare theoretical and empirical look at how emotions regulate, guide, and influence actions and behaviors within the family. This unique book will provide you with new avenues of research, theory, measurement, and analysis, emphasizing contexts that range from the focus on specific relationships within the family to the impact of contextual influences in family emotionality. Emotions and the Family examines the shift that has taken place in how practitioners and therapists view emotionsas having important interpsychic functions instead of as a function of intrapsychic processes. The book will show you how emotions are involved in almost every aspect of family development: from the beginnings of the family formation (dating, courting, and marriage) to the transition to parenthood (pregnancy, birth, bonding, and attachment) to the dissolution of family relationships (divorce, death). Authors discuss aspects of how the fabric of family life is woven together by the complex interplay of emotions, with essential information on: marital/family relationships parenting socialization sibling relationships family health dysfunctional family processes family therapy and much more! Emotions and the Family functions as an invaluable textbook for graduate studies in family sciences, child development, psychology, social work, and sociology. The book is equally effective as a professional resource for clinical practitioners in psychology, marriage and family therapy, and social work.

Download or read book Interpersonal Emotion Dynamics in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood written by Shun Ting Yung and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotions occur predominantly in the context of social interactions. Meanwhile, close relationships (e.g., family, friends, romantic partners) play important roles in emotion in social interactions across the lifespan, particularly during adolescence and emerging adulthood. However, most researchers examined emotion without capturing the real-time dynamics and changes over time. Measuring emotion as a trait fails to conceptualize emotionality as situation reactions. There are many ways to examine emotionality through capturing the changes in a day-to-day and moment-to-moment context which can reduce bias. The goal of this dissertation is to examine the interpersonal emotion in social contexts which focused on two developmental periods: adolescence and emerging adulthood. Study I examined emotional interactions in social contexts and how they may affect individuals' psychological distress and health in real-time by using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA). Quality of social interactions was found to be related to emotion regulation strategies at the same moment, but social interactions did not predict emotion regulation at the next moment. Findings showed the importance of understanding both social contexts and emotion regulation on momentary levels. Results have strengthened the role of emotion regulation strategies in emotional coping and relationship outcomes. Study II examined emotional synchrony during real-time triadic family interactions. It explored the synchronous emotional states across two triadic interactions (mother, father, and adolescent) and how synchronous emotions were related to both parents' interparental relationship quality and adolescents' psychological health (depressive symptoms and anxiety). Additionally, negative synchrony between mother-father dyads predicted more depressive and anxiety symptoms for adolescents, supporting the impact of parental discord on the child. Findings shed light on how dyadic and triadic emotional synchrony impact on both parents' interparental relationship quality and adolescents' psychological adjustment. Taken together, these studies inform the interwoven nature of social interactions and emotional processes in influencing socio-emotional functioning during adolescence and emerging adulthood. Findings from this dissertation will not only be able to inform research on the interface between social contexts and emotion regulation, but also guide inform interventions aimed at adolescents and families.

Download or read book Smooth Sailing or Stormy Waters written by Rena D. Harold and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smooth Sailing enhances our understanding of the family's transition through adolescence by examining qualitative data about the experiences of parents and teens across multiple relationships and social contexts. This volume follows the same 60 families described in the authors' first book, Becoming a Family (2000), relating their stories about their transition from childhood to adolescence. Collectively, the two books provide a unique longitudinal perspective on family development using two distinct data collection formats and time frames. Interdisciplinary in nature, the book draws on theory and practice from the fields of social work, psychology, and sociology. Smooth Sailing reveals a picture of the transition to adolescence as it is influenced by intrafamily relationships as well as social context factors. Initial chapters lay the foundation for the study's methods. Proceeding chapters present the participants' stories, organized by context - developmental changes, interpersonal relationships, education, and work. Each chapter follows a similar format: an overview of past research; interview and coding techniques; and a presentation of parents' and teens' qualitative descriptions. Chapters also include an analysis of gender and conclude with implications for practice and policy. The final chapter in the book summarizes this work and looks ahead to the next developmental period, emerging adulthood. Intended for researchers in a variety of disciplines such as social work, psychology, and sociology, this volume also serves as a supplementary text for courses on the family and/or adolescent development.

Download or read book Adolescent Emotional Development and the Emergence of Depressive Disorders written by Nicholas B. Allen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most striking aspects of the epidemiology of depressive disorders is the rapid rise in incidence observed between the ages of 11 and 14. This book explores the developmental changes occurring during the transition from childhood into early adolescence in order to understand how vulnerability to depression develops. The authors focus on emotional development, which serves to encapsulate the cognitive, sexual, interpersonal and familial changes that occur during this life stage. This is an essential read for practicing psychiatrists and psychologists who work with early adolescents, along with academics and researchers interested in affective science or developmental psychology and psychopathology. Other professionals working with children and adolescents, including teachers, social workers, counsellors and family practice physicians will also find this a useful summary of the latest scientific developments that are shedding light on the vulnerabilities and opportunities particular to this critical stage of life.

Download or read book Parent adolescent Relationships written by Brian K. Barber and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ten chapters that make up this volume not only cover a broad range of key substantive issues in adolescent research (e.g., ego, development, identity formation, self-esteem, pubertal development, cognitive development, deviant behavior, religiosity, and academic achievement), but as a whole they illustrate some of the key theoretical and methodological trends occuring in parent-adolescent research. Several of the chapters consider the interface between components of the family environment (e.g., the marital and parental systems) or between the family and other social contexts (e.g., peers, school, religion). Methodologically, this set of chapters give an interesting sampling of the variability in design and data analysis used in parent-adolescent studies. Designs include both cross-sectional and longitudinal survey, observation, and case study. This volume should be useful to scholars, graduate students, and professionals interested in adolescent development and behavior in the context of the family and other social environments.

Download or read book The Relation Between Parent and Adolescent Depression and Family Interaction Processes written by Abigail T. Hughes-Scalise and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Emotion Context Insensitivity Hypothesis suggests that depressed individuals show diminished emotional reactivity to positive and negative stimuli. This hypothesis served as a basis for understanding how family dynamics relate to depression. Family process and physiological mechanisms of depression were examined across two family interactions. Individuals with high depression were expected to show greater disengagement across the interactions compared to non-depressed individuals. Based on the conceptualization of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) as a marker of individual differences in emotional flexibility, individuals with low baseline RSA were expected to show greater disengagement. Findings showed that for teens, high depression increased the likelihood of responding to parental anger with their own anger, thus decreasing the interaction quality during conflictual discussions. For parents, high depression symptoms decreased the likelihood of responding to teen positive affect with their own positive affect. High parental baseline RSA increased the quality of the interaction during conflictual discussions.
