Self-care training for school age children : an impact study of parenting and employmentPalmer, Diane J. 29 January 1991 (has links)
An increasing number of children care for
themselves (self-care) while their parents are employed
outside the home. A literature review suggested a
connection between child care concerns and employed
parents' increased stress, role overload, and lower
productivity. This study evaluated the impact of an
educational training program for families with children
in self-care.
Twenty-one rural families with children currently
in self-care participated in this study. For most
families, having children in self-care had little impact
on factors which influence the parents' employment
preformance. The treatment lowered the amount of time
parents worried about their self-care children, but did
not effect telephone use or the confidence level for
parents and children. / Graduation date: 1991

近几十年来,出国务工在一些国家和地区越来越成为普遍现象。在全球化的影响下,宏观层面的劳动力资本流动影响着出国务工家庭的个人生活。为了了解出国务工家庭儿童的社会心理发展情况,本研究运用社会资本和抗逆力理论,建立生态系统模型,从积极的视角分析四个方面的社会资本对不利环境儿童的社会心理发展的作用。 / 现有研究表明,与完整家庭类型的儿童相比,出国务工家庭儿童的社会心理发展的影响是否具有差异性尚不明确,在不同地区、不同人群有着不同的结果。据此,本研究关注不同情景变项中的环境因素,强调因情境而释放的积极力量而促使儿童产生积极的发展结果。文章提出即使面对父母缺失,出国务工家庭儿童仍然可以通过环境中的保护性因素的积极作用而表现出良好的社会心理发展结果。基于此,研究以社会资本和抗逆力作为考察儿童成长环境的社会和个人所具有的优势资源,讨论不同情境中的社会资本──家庭社会资本、学校社会资本、朋辈社会资本和社区社会资本和个人所具有的抗逆力对儿童社会心理发展的积极作用,并且通过对比分析,验证出国务工家庭的儿童和完整家庭的儿童对于社会资本作用机制和通过抗逆力的作用机制是否对于社会心理发展结果具有差异性。 / 本研究采用后实证主义研究范式,运用定量研究方法,通过横断面问卷调查方法,收集中国吉林省延吉市来自完整家庭与出国务工家庭的儿童社会心理发展情况。运用T-test和结构方程的统计分析方法,进行均值检验、路径分析和多群组比较分析。 / 研究表明,延吉市出国务工的现象较为普遍且以朝鲜族家庭居多。与以往研究一致,本文发现家庭、学校、朋辈和社区社会资本对儿童社会心理的发展具有积极的预测作用,而抗逆力在社会资本与社会心理发展的过程中起到了中介作用。家庭始终是影响儿童发展最为重要的场所;相对于出完整家庭的儿童,延吉市出国务工家庭的儿童在社会资本、抗逆力方面处于弱势地位,并且这些儿童成长的优势资源的欠缺可能是来自于因父母务工而造成的父母缺失的影响,但社会资本的欠缺并未带来两群组的儿童在社会心理发展水平的不同作用机制。据此,我们有理由相信,可以通过社会资本建设和抗逆力的培养,提高出国务工家庭儿童的社会心理发展水平。 / 本研究运用社会资本理论和抗逆力建构社会生态系统模型,从儿童优势视角将社会因素与个人因素相结合,对于分析处境不利儿童具有重要的理论意义。而且,本研究扩展了社会资本在中国情景的适用性。另外,在社会资本理论的指导下,分析出国务工家庭儿童的社会心理发展为相关社会政策的制定、社会服务的开展提供宝贵的指导意见。最后,文章指出未来需要定性研究方法理解出国务工家庭儿童的经历,运用纵贯研究设计进一步探讨社会资本在不同人群和社会情景中的功能。 / In recent decades, workers coming from overseas have become a common phenomenon in some countries and regions. Under the influence of globalization, the flow of labor capital at the macro-economic level is affecting the personal life of the families of those working overseas. In order to understand the psychosocial development of the children who are left behind when one or both parents work abroad, this study employs social capital theory and resilience theory, and builds an ecological system model from a positive perspective to analyze in four dimensions the effects of social capital on the psychosocial development of children in unfavorable environments. / Existing studies show that the significant differences in psychosocial development between children who have a parent or parents working abroad and children in intact families are still ambiguous, and different regions and populations have different situations. This study focuses on the children's environment in different social contexts and emphasizes the positive effects of the social contexts that can enhance the psychosocial development of children. Looking at the situation from such a perspective, this study believes that there are protective factors that can cause children who have one or both parents working abroad to manifest favorable psychosocial development outcomes despite parental absence. Based on this assumption, this thesis regards social capital and resilience as advantageous resources embedded in social contexts and individual ability. It explores the positive influence of family social capital, school social capital, peer social capital and community social capital in different social contexts and the effect of the resilience of individual ability on the psychosocial development of children. Moreover, it tested whether or not the effects of social capital and resilience on the psychosocial development of children were different between children who have a parent or parents working abroad and children who live in intact families. / Adopting the paradigm of post-positivism, the researcher used quantitative research methods and conducted a cross-sectional survey to collect data from Yanji City, Jilin Province, China. This thesis was designed to explore the impacts of social capital and resilience on the psychosocial development of children who have one or both parents working abroad. The data was analyzed using T-test and structural equation modeling methods to test differences in means and to do path analysis and multi-group analysis. / This study found that working abroad is a common practice for Yanji residents, especially for those of Korean ethnicity. In alignment with previous findings, it indicated that family, school, peer and community social capital can positively predict the psychosocial development of children; resilience has a mediating effect on the relationship between social capital and the psychosocial development of children. One of our most important findings is that family plays the dominant role in the development of children. In addition, compared to children living in intact families, children who have one or both parents working abroad are disadvantaged with respect to social capital and resilience, and the deficiency in these resources may arise from the absence of parents who work abroad. Besides the above findings, the multi-group analysis showed that the effects of social capital on resilience and psychosocial development between the two groups are identical. This means it is reasonable to improve the psychosocial development of children through social capital building and resilience motivation regardless of whether or not one or both of their parents work abroad. / In this thesis, the researcher constructed an ecological framework based on social capital and resilience theories in order to combine the positive factors from social contexts and individual ability, which is theoretically meaningful for the study of the development of disadvantaged children. Meanwhile, this study advanced the use of social capital theory in a Chinese context, hence potentially fortifying its universal applicability. In addition, by using the theory of social capital to analyze the psychosocial development of children who are left behind when their parents work abroad, this study has valuable implications for policy making and social service design. The study also informs future research to employ qualitative research methods to understand the experience of those left-behind children and adopt longitudinal designs to examine the functioning of social capital within various populations and socio-cultural contexts. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 欒卉. / Thesis (Ph.D.) Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2014. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 209-251). / Abstracts also in English. / Luan Hui.

Resilience in children experiencing voluntary parental absenceKana, Gudveig Kartveit January 2009 (has links)
The South African White Paper for Social Welfare (1997:58) acknowledges the importance to children of living in a secure and nurturing family. Nevertheless, many families are unable to fulfil their parenting roles as a result of the increasing pressures in society. One of these pressures concerns the employment of parents. There is an increasing tendency for people to relocate to bigger cities where there are more job opportunities. This then results in many children being left in the care of grandparents or other relatives while the biological parents pursue job opportunities in other cities. The aim of this study was to enhance an understanding of children’s experiences of these voluntary parental absences and the factors that contribute to their resilience during this process. A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual design was employed and seven primary school children (10-12 years) from Port Elizabeth participated in semi-structured interviews including drawings. Trustworthiness was ensured and data analysis was conducted by using Tesch’s model (in Creswell, 1998). Four themes were derived from the study: Children’s perception of a family, where the participants defined family according to characteristics of (amongst others) care and love; Children’s experiences of living with a substitute family, where there was a process of detachment from biological parents, attachment to the substitute family and present experiences in the new family; Resilience in children, where the participants revealed their ways of coping; and, lastly, Suggestions from the participants on how other children in the same situation could cope.

An educational psychological analysis of latchkey childrenRambau, Mutshinyani Eunice 29 February 2008 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of the latchkey situation on children's relationships. A literature study on the concept `latchkey' children was conducted and it was established that there are only a few studies conducted on the phenomenon. However, most of the literature consulted established that self-care has a negative and positive impact on children's relationships with the self, their parents, siblings, peers and educators. To confirm the findings from the literature study an empirical study was conducted by means of collecting data from three `latchkey' children, three educators and four parents. The empirical research confirmed the findings of the literature study that a latchkey situation has indeed a negative impact on children's relationships with the self and others. The empirical study did, however, not confirm the positive impact of a latchkey situation on children's relationships with the self, parents, siblings, peers and educators. / Educational Studies / M.

Die invloed van skofwerk op ouer-kindverhoudingeLötter, Martinus Johannes 30 November 2003 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / 'n Ondersoek is onderneem om vas te stel watter invloed skofwerk op ouerkindverhoudinge
het.
'n Literatuurstudie is uitgevoer om die invloed van skofwerk op mense en
gesinsfunksies te bepaal. Vraelyste ten opsigte van die ouer-kindverhouding en
gesinskommunikasie is geïdentifiseer en aangepas.
Uit die resultate van die empiriese ondersoek is geen beduidende verskil gevind in die
globale verhouding tussen ouers en kinders by gesinne waar ouers skofte werk en
gesinne waar ouers nie skofte werk nie. 'n Beduidende verski1 in die kenverhouding
tussen ouers en kinders bet voorgekom. Daar is bevind dat ouer adolessente 'n
swakker gesags- en vertrouensverhouding met bulle ouers het as jonger adolessente in
gesinne waar die ouers skofte werk.
Opvoedkundige implikasies van die bevindinge is bespreek. Riglyne vir die
verbetering van die ken-, vertrouens- en gesagsverhouding tussen ouers en kinders is
aan ouers en onderwysers gestel. Laastens is voorstelle vir verdere navorsing
gemaak.
An investigation was wtdertaken to detennine the intluence of shift work on parent~
child relationships.
A literature study was done to detennine the influence of shift work on people and
family functions. Questionnaires dealing with the parent-child relationship and
family communication were identified and adapted.
According to the results of the empirical investigation no significant differences were
found in general parent-child relationships between families where parents work shifts
and families where parents do not work shifts. A significant difference was found in
the relationship of knowing between shift working parents and childnm. lt was foWld
that older adolescents have a weaker relationship of authority and trust in families
where parents work shifts.
The educational implications of the findings are discussed. Guidelines for a better
relationship of knowing, authority and trust between parent and child are given to
parents and teachers. Lastly, suggestions for further research are made. / Educational Studies / M. Ed.(Guidance and Couselling)
