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.

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 underscore the continual importance of the family across adolescence.

Book Confirmation and Adolescent Development

Download or read book Confirmation and Adolescent Development written by René M. Dailey and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study provides an initial test of the theory of parental confirmation. Building on a more general theory of interpersonal confirmation, the theory was extended to focus on parent-adolescent relationships. This expanded theory suggests that adolescents who are confirmed (i.e., validated as a unique and valuable individuals) will make greater advancements in development than adolescents who are disconfirmed (i.e., discounted or rejected). More specifically, the theory emphasizes how the climate created by parental messages was related to the level of adolescent self-esteem, identity strength, and openness with their parents. An observational analysis in combination with self-report measures was employed to test the hypotheses derived from the theory. Generally, the results, particularly of the self-report data, supported the relationship between level of confirming climate and adolescents' developmental outcomes. Yet, analyses also suggested that adolescents' family satisfaction mediated this relationship. Specifically, adolescent family satisfaction fully mediated the relationship between parental confirmation and adolescent self-esteem and identity strength, whereas parental confirmation was directly as well as indirectly (i.e., though family satisfaction) related to adolescent openness. These results suggest that parental communication is linked with adolescents' perceptions of their family experiences as well as their development. Results additionally show that family satisfaction makes an independent and substantial contribution to adolescent development. Results are discussed in terms of theoretical and practical implications. Suggestions for future research are also proffered.

Book Parent adolescent Relationships

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.

Book Parental Influence on Child Social and Emotional Functioning

Download or read book Parental Influence on Child Social and Emotional Functioning written by Xiaoqin Zhu and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-03-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social and emotional functioning (interpersonal interactions, social adjustment, emotional well-being, and mental health) among children and adolescents has drawn growing attention from academics, practitioners, parents, educators, and policymakers. Worldwide, it is agreed that social and emotional development is a result of individual-context interactions. Particularly, socialization perspectives regard parenting as the primary factor that shapes child and adolescent development to a large extent. Meanwhile, the ecological perspective highlights the bi-directional nature of interactions between children and parents by which they affect each other. Parenting can be parents’ active socialization actions that influence their children’s development (i.e., parent effect); it can also be parents’ reactions to their children’s social and emotional functioning (i.e., child effect).

Book Divorce and the Next Generation

Download or read book Divorce and the Next Generation written by Craig Everett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This informative book clarifies the complex picture of how the experience of divorce in one generation may influence the next generation’s approach to and preparedness for marriage. It identifies research and clinical issues regarding the effects of the parental divorce experience on young adults’patterns of dating, attachment, and mate selection. Divorce and the Next Generation focuses primarily on young adults and the patterns and attitudes regarding intimacy and attachment that they will carry into their own adult marriages. The book contains research studies which compare differing variables of developmental achievement, personal adjustment, and attitudes of children from divorced and nondivorced families. The implications of these findings for understanding the intergenerational effect from divorce in one generation to marriage in the next are crucial as they guide professionals in their work with young adults and divorcing families in clinical and educational settings. This enlightening volume provides a foundation and a stimulus for more research into these dynamics. Divorce and the Next Generation addresses topics such as: the effects of childhood family structure and perceptions of parental marital happiness on marital and parenting aspirations differences in intimate relationships between college students from divorced and intact families a literature review of short- and long-term effects of parental divorce on children the effects of conflict and family structure on attitudes toward marriage and divorce differences in marriage role expectations between college students of divorced and intact families effects of parental divorce on children in Erikson’s identity stage indirect effects of parental divorce on self-concept via changes in family environment correlates of self-esteem among college-age offspring from divorced families Divorce and the Next Generation is full of useful information for beginning and advanced family therapists, marital counselors, family and psychological researchers, and other professionals interested in the effects divorce has on the families involved.
