This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence is often thought of as a period during which parent–child interactions can be relatively stressed and conflictual. There are individual differences in this regard, however, with only a modest percent of youth experiencing extremely conflictual relationships with their parents. Relatively little empirical research, however, addresses individual differences in the quality of parent–adolescent interactions concerning potentially conflictual issues. The research reported in this monograph examined dispositional and parenting predictors of the quality of parents’ and their adolescent children’s emotional displays and positive and negative verbalizations when dealing with conflictual issues. Of particular interest were patterns of continuity and discontinuity in the factors related to conflicts. A multimethod, multireporter (mother, teacher, and sometimes adolescent reports) longitudinal approach(over 4 years) was used to assess adolescents’ dispositional characteristics (control/regulation, resiliency, and negative emotionality), youths’ externalizing problems, and parenting variables (warmth, positive expressivity, discussion of emotion, positive and negative family expressivity). Parentadolescent conflicts appear to be influenced by both child characteristics and quality of prior and concurrent parenting, and child effects may be more evident than parent effects in this pattern of relations.

Download or read book Observed Adolescent Disclosure and Maternal Emotions During Mother adolescent Conflict Discussions written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescent disclosure to parents is a positive feature of parent-adolescent relationships. Although self-reported disclosure to parents typically declines across adolescence, little is known about age and gender differences in real-time adolescent disclosures, nor about the impact that maternal emotions can have on such disclosures. The present study examined the frequency, intensity, and duration of adolescent emotional and informational disclosures to mothers in real-time. Specifically, I (1) explored gender differences in adolescent disclosure, (2) explored age differences in adolescent disclosure, and 3) examined associations between maternal emotion behaviors, adolescent disclosures, and mother- and adolescent-reported satisfaction with a conflict discussion. Adolescents (N = 49, Mage = 14.84 years) and mothers participated in a 10-minute conflict discussion. Adolescent disclosures and maternal emotions were coded moment-to-moment. Results showed that older adolescents engaged in longer durations and more intense instances of informational disclosures compared to younger adolescents. Male adolescents engaged in longer instances of informational disclosure compared to female adolescents. Results also showed that maternal validation was positively associated with the duration of adolescent informational disclosure as well as the duration of instances where both forms of disclosure were displayed. In contrast, maternal negative emotion was negatively correlated with frequency and duration of informational disclosure. Lastly, adolescent discussion satisfaction was positively correlated with both the frequency and total duration of informational disclosure. Implications for applying observational methodologies to the adolescent disclosure literature will be discussed.
Download or read book Negotiating Parent Adolescent Conflict written by Arthur L. Robin and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2002-12-18 with total page 356 pages. 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 Immigrant Children written by Susan S. Chuang and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2011-06-16 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several decades, the demographic populations of many countries such as Canada as well as the United States have greatly transformed. Most striking is the influx of recent immigrant families into North America. As children lead the way for a 'new' North America, this group of children and youth is not a singular homogenous group but rather, a mosaic and diverse ethnic, racial, and cultural group. Thus, our current understanding of 'normative development' (covering social, psychological, cognitive, language, academic, and behavioral development), which has been generally based on middle-class Euro-American children, may not necessarily be 'optimal' development for all children. Researchers are widely recognizing that the theoretical frameworks and models of child development lack the sociocultural and ethnic sensitivities to the ways in which developmental processes operate in an ecological context. As researchers progress and develop promising forms of methodological innovation to further our understanding of immigrant children, little effort has been placed to collectively organize a group of scholarly work in a coherent manner. Some researchers who examine ethnic minority children tended to have ethnocentric notions of normative development. Thus, some ethnic minority groups are understood within a 'deficit model' with a limited scope of topics of interest. Moreover, few researchers have specifically investigated the acculturation process for children and the implications for cultural socialization of children by ethnic group. This book represents a group of leading scholars' cutting-edge research which will not only move our understanding forward but also to open up new possibilities for research, providing innovative methodologies in examining this complex and dynamic group. Immigrant Children: Change, Adaptation, and Cultural Transformation will also take the research lead in guiding our current knowledge of how development is influenced by a variety of sociocultural factors, placing future research in a better position to probe inherent principles of child development. In sum, this book will provide readers with a richer and more comprehensive approach of how researchers, social service providers, and social policymakers can examine children and immigration.

Download or read book Flexibility in Early Verb Use written by Letitia R. Naigles and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flexibility and productivity are hallmarks of human language use. Competent speakers have the capacity to use the words they know to serve a variety of communicative functions, to refer to new and varied exemplars of the categories to which words refer, and in new and varied combinations with other words. When and how children achieve this flexibility—and when they are truly productive language users—are central issues among accounts of language acquisition. The current study tests competing hypotheses of the achievement of flexibility and some kinds of productivity against data on children’s first uses of their first-acquired verbs. Eight mothers recorded their children's first 10 uses of 34 early-acquired verbs, if those verbs were produced within the window of the study. The children were between 16 and 20 months when the study began (depending on when the children started to produce verbs), were followed for between 3 and 12 months, and produced between 13 and 31 of the target verbs. These diary records provided the basis for a description of the pragmatic, semantic, and syntactic properties of early verb use. The data revealed that within this early, initial period of verb use, children use their verbs both to command and describe, they use their verbs in reference to a variety of appropriate actions enacted by a variety of actors and with a variety of affected objects, and they use their verbs in a variety of syntactic structures. All 8 children displayed semantic and grammatical flexibility before 24 months of age. These findings are more consistent with a model of the language learning child as an avid generalizer than as a conservative language user. Children’s early verb use suggests abilities and inclinations to abstract from experience that may indeed begin in infancy.

Download or read book Mother adolescent Conflict is There a Role for Adolescents Mood States written by Norma Mammone D'Agostino and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated whether adolescents' mood states prior to engaging in a disagreement with their mothers influenced their perceptions of parenting efficacy. Sixty-one early adolescents ('M' age = 12.82 years), from predominantly middle-class Caucasian families, were interviewed about two recent disagreements: the first was one that was preceded by a "neutral" mood state, the second was one preceded by an "aroused" mood state. Within the "aroused" mood states, adolescents were randomly assigned to report on arguments that were preceded either by a "bad" mood or a "good" mood. Parenting efficacy was measured by: (a) how the adolescents were feeling at the end of the argument; (b) the adolescents' evaluations of how well their mothers understood them, how fair they perceived their mothers' behavior to be, and how satisfied they were with the outcome of the disagreement; and (c) how long it took before the adolescents felt like things returned to "normal" between them and their mothers. In addition to adolescents' mood states, mothers' general parenting style (measured using the Index of Mother's Style Questionnaire, Lamborn, Mounts, Steinberg, & Dornbusch, 1991), and mothers' ability to sensitively tailor their actions to the adolescents' state during the conflict (measured by coding adolescents' reports of maternal behavior) were also considered as factors influencing parenting efficacy. Adolescents' mood states prior to engaging in the argument did not relate to any of the measures of parenting efficacy. Yet, adolescents' mood states were found to influence the adolescents' behavior and feelings of power. Adolescents in more negative mood states tended to behave in a more resistant manner and to feel as if they had more power during the disagreement. Mothers' parenting style was found to have sparse and inconsistent relationships with parenting efficacy. Adolescents who reported the best conflict outcomes had mothers who were able to tailor their actions to the adolescents' mood state. These results are in line with Grusec, Goodnow, and Kuczynski's (2000) claim that it is a parent's understanding of the particular child and situation, rather than the use of a specific parenting style, that is the mark of effective parenting.
