Stories of women's midlife experienceHargrave, Deborah 30 November 2006 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of how women experience midlife. Social constructionism, which fits within the postmodern tradition, was the epistemological framework informing this study. Participants were asked to provide their life stories in text form. Texts were interpreted using the hermeneutic method of analysis. The researcher attempted to understand the midlife experience from the perspective of each participant whose meaning, attitudes and ideas have developed within a social context, keeping in mind that the researcher's own social context, ideas and values affected the interpretation of the texts. The research results add a new perspective to the `grand narrative' of midlife as a `crisis'. The new `voice' speaks of the possibility of positive development - of overcoming adversity; taking control; re-assessing life; breaking old patterns; discovering peace; putting down roots; confronting reality; gaining independence and finding new meaning. / Psychology / MA (Clinical Psychology)

Gebruik van die opvoedkundig-sielkundige relasieteorie in die identifisering van'n middeljarekrisis / The use of the edu-psychological relation theory in identifying a midlife crisisBotha, Susanna Petronella Wilhelmina 11 1900 (has links)
Afrikaans text / Hierdie studie het ten doel gehad om die Opvoedkundig-Sielkundige Relasieteorie te
gebruik in die identifisering van 'n middeljarekrisis by middeljariges. Met die oog hierop is
daar hoofsaaklik op die volgende gekonsentreer:
Die middeljare as fenomeen, met spesifieke verwysing na die belewing van
krisis
elemente tydens hierdie lewensfase, wat op 'n middeljarekrisis sou kon dui
Die gebruik van die Opvoedkundig-Sielkundige Relasieteorie as gefundeerde
teoretiese vertrekpunt in die identifisering van 'n middeljarekrisis
Die daarstel van •n diagnostiese vraelys binne die raamwerk van die Opvoedkundig-
Sielkundige Relasieteorie wat in die empiriese studie gebruik is om
'n middeljarekrisis te identifiseer
Daar is bevind dat, aJhoewel nie aile middeljariges 'n krisistydperk ervaar nie, daar tien
verskillende krisis-elemente is wat op 'n middeljarekrisis sou kon dui. 'n Diagnostiese
vraelys is in terme van die Opvoedkundig-Sielkundige Relasieteorie veroperasionaliseer, en
gebruik in die identifisering van 'n middeljarekrisis. / The aim of this study was to use the Edu-Psychological Relation Theory in the
identification of a midlife crisis in middle aged persons. The researcher concentrated on the
following main aspects:
The middle years as phenomenon, with specific reference to the experience of crisis -
elements during this life phase, which could lead to a crisis
The use of the Edu-Psychological Relation Theory as well-grounded theoretical point of departure in
the identification of a midlife crisis
The compilation of a diagnostic questionnaireusing the Edu-Psychological Relation
Theory as framework, which was used in the empirical study to identify a midlife crisis
It was found that, although not all middle aged persons experience a crisis during this time,
there are ten different crisis elements which could indicate a midlife crisis. A diagnostic
questionnaire was operationalised in terms of the Edu-Psychological Relation Theory, and used in
the identification of a midlife crisis. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Voorligting)
