This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While insights sometimes are slow in coming, they often seem obvious when they finally arrive. This handbook is an outcome of the insight that the topics of social support and the family are very closely linked. Obvious as this might seem, the fact remains that the literatures dealing with social support and the family have been deceptively separate and distinct. For example, work on social support began in the 1970s with the accumulation of evidence that social ties and social integration play important roles in health and personal adjustment. Even though family members are often the key social supporters of individuals, relatively little re search of social support was targeted on family interactions as a path to specifying supporter processes. It is now recognized that one of the most important features of the family is its role in providing the individual with a source of support and acceptance. Fortunately, in recen t years, the distinctness and separateness of the fields of social support and the family have blurred. This handbook provides the first collation and integration of social support and family research. This integration calls for specifying processes (such as the cognitions associated with poor support availability and unrewarding faIllily constellations) and factors (such as cultural differences in family life and support provision) that are pertinent to integration.
Download or read book Family Peer Relationships written by Ross D. Parke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1992, this volume provided an up-to-date overview of recent research concerning the links between family and peer systems. Considerable work in the past had focused on family issues or peer relationships, but these systems had typically been considered separately. This volume bridges the gap across these two important socialization contexts and provides insights into the processes that account for the links across the systems – the ways in which the relationships between these systems shift across development. In addition, the variations in the links between family and peers are illustrated by cross-cultural work, studies of abused children, and research on the impact of maternal depression. In short, the volume provides not only a convenient overview of recent progress at the time but lays out an agenda for future research.
Download or read book The Impact of Parenting on Susceptibility to Peer Influence written by Zhiyong Yang and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The influence from peers is viewed as the most important factor that causes substance use among teenagers (e.g., Akers et al. 1979; Kandel 1996). Among a variety of preventive factors, certain aspects of parenting (e.g., parental responsiveness, psychological control) are believed to affect adolescents' susceptibility to negative peer influence. These studies have produced some intriguing findings. Nonetheless, three significant gaps remain in the literature. First, previous research of parent-peer linkages has exclusively focused on deviance behaviors. We know little about how parental practices may affect adolescents' susceptibility to peer influence (SPI) on consumer choices. Second, past studies have mainly examined the direct effects of parenting on negative peer pressure, while the process by which parents affect peer relationships remains an area that to date has been underexplored. Lastly, interpersonal influence is inherently a cultural process. Despite the importance of culture as a contextual factor, there has been little academic research on the topic of SPI in a cross-cultural setting. The purpose of this research is to fill these gaps by further explicating parental influences on SPI. Different from previous studies, we will examine parent-peer linkages not only from the angle of negative peer pressure, but also from a more general perspective to study peer influence on purchasing patterns. More importantly, we will investigate not only the direct effects of relevant parent practices on SPI per se, but also the mediated effects of parenting on SPI through the adolescent self-concept. In addition, we will extend the proposed parent-self-peer paradigm developed in Western cultures to Eastern cultures, in order to investigate the moderating role of culture on the proposed relationships among parenting dimensions, key elements of self, and SPI. In Study 1, triadic data from 109 English-Canadian families was collected to verify the proposed parent-self-peer model in the Western context. Consistent with our expectations, results revealed that the effects of parental responsiveness on SPI were fully mediated by key aspects of self-concept, including interdependent self-construal, self-esteem, and self-monitoring. Since Study 1 was cross-sectional and could not verify the causality proposed in our framework, we conducted Study 2 to determine the causal directions of the parent-self-peer relationships through a longitudinal analysis of the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) data. Findings of the longitudinal analysis largely supported our assumption that parenting dimensions are more likely to be the antecedents of peer influence than conversely. In Study 3, we gathered 1,142 sets of family triadic data from mainland China and selected a part of the sample (n = 216) to test the hypothesized moderating effects of culture on the parent-self-peer linkages. Cross-cultural similarities as well as differences were found in this study. Specifically, in both cultures, parental responsiveness tended to be negatively associated with SPI, while psychological control tended to be positively associated with it. The magnitudes of these relationships and the way through which parents affect SPI, however, were different across the English-Canadian and the Chinese samples. These findings are broadly supportive of our hypotheses. Theoretical and managerial implications to the literature will also be discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it that relationships with family members predict the quality of children's relationships outside the family? A wealth of research has documented that various aspects of family relationships are predictably related to the quality of children's interactions and relationships with peers. Understanding what account for these effects is important both for theories of children's relationships and intervention efforts to ameliorate children's peer relationship difficulties. This volume advances the field by discussing several mechanisms that may account for continuities across family and peer relationships. A variety of theoretical perspectives are represented in the book. For example, both learning and biological explanations are considered. Authors also note two key considerations in investigating family and peer relationships. First, it is necessary to consider the cultural context. The function and meaning of family and peer relationships may differ depending on what roles are played by these relationships in different cultural contexts. Second, it is necessary to consider the child's age. Developmental issues, such as concerns with establishing greater independence at the entrance to adolescence, will impact both family and peer relationships.

This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this volume apply a developmental focus to their examination of one of the most widely agreed upon classifications of behavior disorders in child psychopathology -- internalizing and externalizing expressions of dysfunction. The research reported spans a wide range from infancy through young adulthood and from normalcy through severe psychopathology. These current investigations demonstrate that the implications of utilizing the developmental approach for the evolution of theory, research, and intervention are vast.
Download or read book Self esteem as a Mediator Between the Quality of Interpersonal Relationships in the Family and Children s Social Acceptance by Peers written by Marcia L. Galvinhill and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study was conducted to examine whether the quality of interpersonal relationships in the family is predictive of later social acceptance by peers and to evaluate self-esteem as one mechanism by which interpersonal relationships in the family and social acceptance by peers might be related. No previous research has established whether self-esteem functions as a link between interpersonal relationships in the family and social acceptance by peers. Due to potential differences in socialization, race and gender were examined as possible moderators of the connection between interpersonal relationships in the family and children's social acceptance by peers mediated by self-esteem. All participants were non-chronically-ill control participants from a larger study designed to investigate the impact of severe chronic illnesses on the psychosocial functioning of children and their families. Participants were 171 8- to 15-year-old children, their mothers and fathers, and classroom peers. The sample included data from 83 girls and 88 boys. Seventy-two participants were African American and 99 were European American. Data collection relevant to the present study occurred in three phases. During the first phase of data collection, Like-Rating Scale (Asher, Singleton, Tinsley, & Hymel, 1979) scores were collected in the classroom. In the second phase, participants were visited at their home where the Family Environment Scale (FES; Moos & Moos, 1986) was completed by the parents, and the Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC; Harter, 1985)was completed by the child. In the third phase, Like-Rating scores were collected again 1 1/2 to two years later in the classroom of each child participant. The findings suggest that the quality of interpersonal relationships in the family is related to the child's self-esteem and is related to subsequent social acceptance by peers. The child's self-esteem is also related to subsequent social acceptance by peers. However, self-esteem does not appear to be an explanatory link in the relationship between the quality of interpersonal relationships in the family and subsequent social acceptance by peers. That self-esteem does not explain the connection between family and peer relationships appears to be true for boys and girls, for European Americans and African Americans.
Download or read book Understanding Peer Influence in Children and Adolescents written by Mitchell J. Prinstein and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2008-05-13 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists, educators, and parents of teens have long recognized the potency of peer influences on children and youth, but until recently, questions of how and why adolescents emulate their peers were largely overlooked. This book presents a comprehensive framework for understanding the processes by which peers shape each other's attitudes and behavior, and explores implications for intervention and prevention. Leading authorities share compelling findings on such topics as how drug use, risky sexual behavior, and other deviant behaviors "catch on" among certain peer groups or cliques; the social, cognitive, developmental, and contextual factors that strengthen or weaken the power of peer influence; and the nature of positive peer influences and how to support them.
Download or read book Links Between Peer Relationships and Social Anxiety Across Adolescence written by and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Links between interpersonal relationships and psychological functioning have been well established in the literature. Specifically, during adolescence, success or distress in peer relationships may have distinct effects on psychological functioning, especially with regard to the development of later social anxiety. The present study aims to examine the ways in which different adolescent peer relationships (i.e., close friendship quality and social acceptance) can predict later social anxiety development. Further, the study considers how different developmental stages of adolescence may impact these relationships, in addition to considering possible conditional effects of interpersonal competence, self-worth, and gender. Early adolescents (age 14) and late adolescents (age 17) and their closest friend were asked to report on their perceived close friendship quality and social acceptance. Participants were assessed again at age 19 for interpersonal competence, self-worth, and social anxiety. Results of several hierarchical regression analyses revealed several direct effects and an interaction effect that provided both supporting and conflicting evidence for the proposed hypotheses. The current findings suggest the importance of self-perception of social acceptance and self-worth when predicting social anxiety, and also revealed distinct gender differences when examining the relationship between friendship quality in early adolescence and the development of later social anxiety.

Download or read book The Protective Effects of Peer Relationships for Early Adolescents with Non optimal Parent child Relationships written by Felicia Meyer and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fundamental hypothesis of peer relationships research is that positive relationships with peers, including friendships, can protect children from the detrimental effects of non-optimal relationships with parents. The current study examined whether positive peer relations moderate the association between negativity in the parent-child relationship and psychosocial adjustment. Early adolescents (N = 430, mean age = 11 years old) rated the quality of their relationships with their mother, father and best friend, indicated which of 1their peers was a best friend (i.e., peer acceptance) and rated their perceived social competence and self-worth. Children with negative relations with their parents were expected to be less well-adjusted than those with less negative parental relations. It was also hypothesized that two aspects of positive peer relations, namely friendship quality and peer group acceptance, would moderate the association between negative parental relations and child adjustment. Multiple regression was used to examine interactions between parent and peer measures in their association with children's social competence and self-worth. Social competence was inversely related to paternal negativity and positively related to friendship support and peer acceptance. Friendship support interacted with maternal negativity in its association with social competence, even when controlling for peer acceptance. Self-worth was inversely related to maternal and paternal negativity and, to a lesser extent, the association with paternal negativity was moderated by friendship support. These findings highlight the developmental significance of friendship during early adolescence and provide evidence for the hypothesized protective effects of peer relations.
Download or read book Personal Relationships During Adolescence written by Raymond Montemayor and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1994-04-29 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators will find much useful information in this book. It offers insights for program and curriculum planning and suggests numerous topics for stimulating discussions with teens. It also raises provocative issues about how the developmental needs of youth can be served more effectively by families, communities, and educators. The book holds the potential to define personal relations as an integrated line of study that serves to develop theory and research beyond contextual boundaries. The contributors analyze the ways in which critical interpersonal bonds are forged and maintained. The relationships discussed are: The parent-teen connection; the impact of cultural diversity on teens' social development; same-sex friends as well as opposite-sex friends during adolescence; heterosexual, bisexual, gay and lesbian romantic relationships; adolescent crowds (or cliques); and relationships involving non-kin adults. The authors also explore conceptual issues that cut across relationships and the problem of integrating the views of both individuals in a relationship.
