The relationships between abuse, work social support, value-rich work and intrapersonal coping resources in employed womenBaumann, Chiara 14 July 2016 (has links)
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand,
Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts. / The present research aimed to illustrate a link between the two
domains of work and abuse. It was an investigation into "the
various relationships which exist between spouse abuse and
intrapersonal and alternative interpersonal coping resources in
employed women.The intrapersonal coping resources identified in
past literature and currently examined included self-esteem and
level of depression. Alternative interpersonal resources provided
by the work sphere were also included for investigation; namely
work social support and value-rich work. Amixed quantitative-qual
itative research design yielded measures on the five
variables of spouse abuse, self-esteem, depression, work social
support, and value-rich work; as well as on the two dimensions
of physical and non-physical violence, and an additional variable
of work support obtained from counselling programmes.The final
sample consisted of 106 female employees from a variety of
occupational groups. A content analysis of information regarding
workplace counselling programmes and its effect on self-esteem
and depression generated insignificant results. However,
quantitative analyses via Pearson's Product MomentCorrelation
Coefficients, one-way ANOVA's and multiple moderated regressions,
illustrated very strong support for the remaining hypotheses.
This implied that significant relationships did exist between
abuse and the coping resources of self-esteem, depression. work
support and value-rich work.

An examination of physical and non-physical abuse as correlates of depression and self-esteem in battered womenMiskofski, Patricia Ann 01 January 2001 (has links)
In light of the existing literature and research conducted in the area of domestic violence, several recurrent symptoms continue to surface as a result of both physical and non-physical abuse. Two of the most prevalent psychological symptoms requiring intervention tend to be depression and low self-esteem. Therefore, it is the intention of this study to empirically examine the type of abuse female victims of domestic violence experience and its link to their psychological distress. Specifically, it is hypothesized that victims of non-physical abuse will be more likely to experience low self-esteem than depression. Victims of physical abuse will have a greater prevalence of depression than low self-esteem.
