Assessment of coping skills of single divorced Venda womenRamuthaga, Ndivhuho Alice January 2002 (has links)
Submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirement for the degree of MSc (Nursing) in the Department of Nursing Education in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Witwatersrand / Single parent family structure is becoming prevalent in South Africa
as a result of divorce or separation. Venda, as part of South Africa is
not immune from divorce, however traditional values have an impact
on this issue amongst Venda women. Venda like other African
nations that value their culture, is in transition to Westernisation.
Marriage is greatly valued and is viewed as an avenue for security,
social and emotional fulfillment. Girls are raised to believe that the
dignity of the mistress of the house demands concealment of
dissension within it. Venda women are expected to stay in and
preserve their marriage no matter how difficult it becomes. Modern
women who are increasingly better educated and more conscious of
their rights, often feel they must challenge their husbands and may
seek divorce when the marriage is intolerable. Although women in
Venda are seeking divorce more frequently, conflict arises between
cultural background and Westernisation. Divorced women are not
acceptable, regarded as failures and are denigrated by society. Due
to the kind of issues that divorce women in Venda are faced with, a
survey assessing their coping skills was conducted on 50 divorced
women with children and working in an industrial area at
Shayandima in Venda. The demographic questionnaire and
translated “Ways of Coping” scale (Revised) by Folkman and
Lazarus (1984) as adapted for the purpose of this study was used.
The results of the study reflected the different kinds of coping
mechanisms used, i.e denial, avoidance, regression, counterphobia,
rigidity, projection, self - destructive behavior, inventive behavior
and dependency. Most of the women exhibited symptoms of
depression, and were not aware of their mental condition. / WHSLYP2016

The Experience of LDS Women Receiving Community Support and Caring for Themselves in the Stages of DivorceBurton, Abigail May 12 May 2017 (has links)
This qualitative, phenomenological study examined community support and caring for oneself as Latter-day Saint (LDS) women navigated the stages of divorce. Six divorced LDS women participated in semi-structured interviews. Data was analyzed through Creswell's modified version of Moustakas' phenomenology and themes were established through meaning units. The following themes emerged: perceptions of failure, where do I belong, support and a lack of support from the overall community. Participants offered additional forms of support needed in this process, and how others can take care of themselves during this time. Participants reported feeling varying levels of support. Implications for divorced LDS women, the LDS church, and clinicians were addressed. / Master of Science

Religion and remarriage among American women: evidence from the National Survey of Family GrowthBrown, Susannah Mercedes 05 May 2007 (has links)
Divorce has been and remains a prevalent occurrence in the United States and, while rates are not increasing as they once were, it still remains an extremely common phenomenon. As of the most recent U.S. Census Bureau report on divorce and remarriage, 56% of men and 59% of women ever married have been divorced. Despite these statistics, the vast majority of Americans still value marriage as an institution. This study aims to examine the role religion plays in the propensity and timing of remarriage. Using logistic and OLS regressions, and data pooled from the 1995 and 2002 National Survey of Family Growth, multifaceted effects of denominational subcultures are examined concerning the propensity and timing of remarriage among divorced women. In addition, the linkages between religious salience, religious attendance, and the propensity and timing of remarriage are explored.

Marital Instability In East Asian Societies: A Comparative Study Of China, Taiwan, And South KoreaRich, Susan Lynne 13 December 2008 (has links)
The rising trend in marital instability and divorce is a topic of discussion nearly world-wide. While divorce affects considerably fewer people in non-Western societies, its rising trend and impact are quite alarming. Given the well established findings in the West, it is useful to study divorce and marital instability in non-Western societies so that prior findings from the West can be scrutinized and validated cross-culturally. This study is necessary because the theories developed in the West may not be entirely applicable to non-Western societies and cultural factors may in some cases be more important than socio-economic factors. By using the East Asian Social Survey (EASS), a three-society survey conducted in China, Taiwan, and South Korea in the later part of the 1990s, this study investigates the determinants of marital instability in three East Asian societies. Drawing insights from three theoretical traditions, namely, socio-cultural context, resources, and gender, the central goal of this study is to use comparable survey data and quantitative analyses (i.e., ordered logistics regression) to explore the effects of resources, gender (marital) roles, and gender beliefs on marital instability in the selected three societies. Results from multivariate statistical analyses suggest that the effects of resources, gender roles, and gender beliefs on marital instability vary not only by societies under study but also by gender. While the findings lent limited support to the resources-based theory, gender beliefs and to a lesser extent, gender roles, emerged as the most consistent predictors of marital instability in all three societies. Data limitations and directions for future research are discussed.
