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 Self Esteem A Family Affair written by Jean Illsley Clarke and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serving as a source of parental support, this book provides a range of imaginative and effective suggestions for dealing with each family member in ways that nourish self-esteem for all involved. Strong self-esteem is a critical ingredient for human happiness--and its development begins at home in the nurturing interactions between children and adults. Clarke's unique approach to building self-esteem begins with her belief that this is indeed a "family affair." Rather than offering collection of dictatorial "should," Self-Esteem: A Family Affair instead serves as a source of parental support, providing a broad range of imaginative and effective suggestions for dealing with individual family members in ways that nourish self-esteem for all involved.Throughout her book, Clarke encourages parents to claim their strengths and to trust their judgment as they make decisions about appropriate child care. Recognizing, too, that kids' needs are best met by adults whose own needs have not been neglected, Clarke offers a range of creative and workable options for parents to build the self-esteem of children while also caring for their emotional needs.Jean Illsley Clarke, author of Hazelden's Growing Up Again: Parenting Ourselves, Parenting Our Children, is a writer and an internationally recognized parent educator who specializes in the areas of parenting, self-esteem, family dynamics, and adult children of alcoholics. She currently directs the Self-Esteem Center, which she founded in 1975, and lives in Plymouth, Minnesota.

Download or read book The Relationship of Child Temperament and Maternal Behavior to the Child s Self esteem written by Joanne Godard Sorte and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High levels of self-esteem (the individual's assessment of self-worth) have been associated with a variety of positive child outcomes, while low levels of self-esteem have been related to problems in child growth and development. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between specific child temperament and parenting behaviors to the child's selfesteem. More specifically it determined the relationship between child quality of mood, child adaptability, maternal responsiveness, maternal reasoning guidance, child gender, and family socioeconomic status with the child's perceived competence and social acceptance. The interactive effects of child quality of mood x maternal responsiveness and child adaptability x maternal reasoning guidance were also explored. The sample for this study consisted of 45 preschool children and their mothers. The children were enrolled in the O.S.U. Child Development Center and the L.B.C.C. Family Resource Center. Mothers completed a questionnaire consisting of an adaptation of the Parent Temperament Questionnaire for Children (Thomas, Chess, & Korn, 1977), an adaptation of the Iowa Parent Behavior Inventory (Crase, Clark, & Pease, 1979), and descriptive information. Children were assessed for self-esteem using Harter and Pike's Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance for Young Children (1984). The analyses consisted of the following: descriptive statistics of all variables, a correlation matrix using all variables, univariate and hierarchical regressions between the independent variables and perceived competence and social acceptance, and regression analyses to test for interactive effects of the selected independent variables against perceived competence and social acceptance. Results revealed these significant findings: maternal responsiveness positively correlated with social acceptance; child adaptability negatively correlated with social acceptance; positive interaction effects were demonstrated between child quality of mood x maternal responsiveness and child adaptability against social acceptance; negative interaction effects were revealed between child adaptability x maternal reasoning guidance against social acceptance; also, child adaptability x maternal reasoning guidance with maternal responsiveness significantly predicted greater social acceptance. No significant relationships were found with perceived competence. This study supported the expectation that specific child temperament characteristics interacted with particular parenting behaviors to affect the development of positive child self-esteem.

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 Student Teacher Relationship Quality Research Past Present and Future volume II written by Claudio Longobardi and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of Robert Pianta's 2001 handbook on the quality of the teacher-student relationship, much has been accomplished and research contributions have multiplied from different authors and countries. This testifies to the richness and continuous evolution of this field of research. The quality of the teacher-student relationship has been recognized as an important factor in the psychological development of students and seems to increase their adjustment to the school context. A good quality of relationship, according to attachment theorists, is characterized by closeness, affection, and respect. In this direction, the teacher can offer a relational context that can support the child in their learning processes and psychological development, preventing negative outcomes. The research focused on defining the salient features of this educational relationship and refining tools that could collect the perceptions of students and teachers, trying to identify the possible outcomes associated and the mechanisms involved.

Download or read book Measuring Emotional Intelligence written by Glenn Geher and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since being popularised by Goleman's (1995) best-seller by the same name, Emotional Intelligence (EI), as a construct, has permeated circles in both lay and academic psychological communities. This construct has been broadly applied to address health, education, and business concerns. An in-depth examination of EI research, however, suggests some concerns regarding this construct. In particular, a great deal of variety exists regarding how EI is best conceptualised and measured. The current volume is designed to address measurement issues regarding EI in a multi-faceted manner. The work presented here provides the interested reader with broad, in-depth, and critical perspectives on (a) how EI is best measured, and, by extension, (b) what EI really is.
