Problems and coping strategies of urban divorced men at the time of divorce and six months laterMitchell-Flynn, Carol L. January 1985 (has links)
This study was conducted to examine the problems and coping strategies of urban divorced men at the time of divorce (during the first month--Time 1) and six months later (Time 2). Both pre-determined coping strategies (formed as a result of previous research), and newly generated coping strategies for the target population were examined. Three independent variables-age, anxiety, and sex role orientation--were tested to ascertain their effect on degree of helpfulness of the coping strategies.Courthouse records were examined during a six-and-three-quarters-month time period in two counties in Indiana. The names of the men who had decrees granted during this time span were obtained. This resulted in 187 phone contacts in which the purpose of the study was explained and the research instruments briefly described. There were 164 men who volunteered to participate. They were sent a research packet consisting of a cover letter, a participant contact form, the instruments (a background questionnaire, Questionnaire II--a psychological adjustment scale, the Family Coping Inventory, the Maferr inventory of Masculine Values, and the Checklist of Problems and Concerns), and a self-addressed, stamped envelope. There were 123 men who returned the research packet at Time 1 and 84 at Time 2. Multivariate analysis and a correlated t-test were used to test the research hypotheses.FindingsSeven hypotheses were rejected at the .05 level. Significant differences were found:1. In the perceived helpfulness of pre-determined (and generated) coping strategies between older and younger men at Time 2.2. In the perceived helpfulness of pre-determined (and generated) coping strategies between higher and lower anxiety at Time 1.3. In the perceived helpfulness of pre-determined (and generated) coping strategies between higher and lower anxiety at Time 2.4. Between Time 1 and Time 2 means on the problem factors a. Between the means of Factor 1--Loneliness at Time 1 and Time 2.b. Between the means of Factor 5--Control and Competence at Time 1 and Time 2.Conclusions1. All divorced men do not fit the "self-confident swinging bachelor" stereotype. Problems related to social relationships seem to be a major cause of concern at both Time 1 and Time 2, as is loneliness. Loneliness decreases significantly, however, at Time 2.2. The results confirm the existence of stable problem factors over time.3. It appears that there are relatively stable coping strategies found across time and populations. Those found most often are concerned with: Maintaining Family Stability Establishing Independence Dating and Socializing with Friends Leisure ActivitiesContact with RelataivesDivorce Related ActivitiesSeeking Understanding Through Personal and Professional Relationships Expressing Self Community Involvement4. It would be beneficial to adopt a single coping strategy framework and impose this structure on subjects in future research studies rather than generate new sets of strategies. Degrees of helpfulness could be ascertained while providing a consistent foundation for comparison.5. Anxiety level seems to be the most important independent variable in this study in perceived degree of helpfulness. Age also plays a role.

Personality profiles in the 16 PF correlated with measures of distress in the Fisher's Divorce Adjustment Scale in divorced men.Maharaj, Salisha Bogothiepersadh 24 June 2009 (has links)
Research in the field of divorce has primarily focused on women and children, and
there is a definite lack of literature that addresses divorce from a male perspective.
This lack of knowledge has influenced the clinical treatment and general social
support available to men who get divorced. This study aims to explore which, if any,
of the personality factors in the 16PF are correlated with adjustment to divorce using
the Fisher Divorce Adjustment scale in South African men. The divorce-stressadjustment
perspective was used to conceptualise adjustment to divorce and the
factors that influence adjustment to divorce (Amato, 2000). The sample consisted of
South African men who were divorced. A sample size of 40 participants was obtained
using convenient sampling. The results of the study indicated that the personality
factors ‘Anxiety’ and ‘Emotional Sensitivity’ are significantly and negatively
correlated to adjustment to divorce. This indicates that aspects of personality that
relate to a robustness of ego, low anxiety and a self-confident individual who is
emotionally mature, is more likely to adjust significantly better to divorce and thus
contribute significantly to the well-being of an individual post divorce.

Michael's story : love and vulnerability in a close relationshipCorry, Wendy-Anne 11 1900 (has links)
Being in love in a close relationship is contingent upon biological, intrapsychic, social and cultural
events. Understanding these processes has implications for stability and health in individuals
families and society. Various dimensions of love are considered as converging on a more basic
concept of vulnerability as a part of the human condition where both love and vulnerability are
experiences which shape individual development growth, interdependence and survival or the lack
thereof. The objective of this study is to capture the dilemmas which underlie love and
vulnerability in a qualitative study. The method is a case study of a story using narrative analysis
and the relation of theory to experiences revealed in the story. Analysis included observation of
the major premises, setting, structure, images and voices in the story and theories included Lee's
(1977) theory of love, Sternberg's (1986) triangular theory of love, attachment theory, social
construction, psychobiological theory and phenomenologal theories of love. A summary finds that
most theories infer vulnerability as an underlying dimension in processes of love and that
vulnerability as a characteristic in human mortality may be implicated in love experiences. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)
