Meaningfulness as a predictor of intergenerational commitmentJansen, Mikhail Chad January 2013 (has links)
13 | P a g e
SUMMARY
In South Africa’s rapidly changing social and cultural context, where family dynamics
and relationships are changing just as quickly, it is essential to discover which
factors contribute to successful relationships that persist over time. Previous
research has utilised the Investment Model Scale (Rusbult, 1980) in order to
understand commitment processes and the constructs satisfaction, quality of
alternatives and investment have been identified as key determinants of commitment
in romantic contexts. In the present study however I investigated the primary
research question, “How can commitment be measured in the context of family
relationships?” Data collection took place through the Family Commitment Scale
(which was adapted from the Investment Model Scale) and a new meaningfulness
scale was added in an attempt to explore whether meaningfulness would be a better
predictor of family commitment than satisfaction, quality of alternatives and
investment. The statistical analyses were conducted with the purpose of examining
the research question and hypotheses. The findings of the present study contribute
to commitment literature by underlining the utility of the Invest Model Scale in nonromantic
contexts and providing an instrument which can reliably measure family
commitment. Meaningfulness is also highlighted as a motivational feature behind
family commitment processes. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2014 / Educational Psychology / unrestricted

Exploring family conflict style as a correlate of commitment to the family of originSofocleous, Christo Valentina Katerina January 2014 (has links)
The present exploratory study examines family conflict style as a correlate of commitment to the family of origin in a one-stage random cluster sample of 200 university students between the ages of 18 and 25. The hypothesis rests on the theoretical assumption that family climate factors, such as conflict, influences commitment to the family of origin. I argue that family conflict style (adaptive or maladaptive) is associated with the level of commitment to the family of origin. Surveys are utilised to collect data in the present study which includes two scales, namely the Family Conflict Style Scale (FCS) and the Family Commitment Scale (FC). The Family Commitment Scale (FC) is an adaptation of Rusbult’s (1998) Investment Model Commitment scale and the Family Conflict Scale (FCS) is a new scale that was constructed for the purpose of the present study, derived from Gottman’s (1993) definitions of couple conflict styles, in order to examine conflict styles within a family and to examine the correlations to see whether family conflict style can be associated with commitment. The Family Resilience Framework (Walsh, 2003) and the Marital Spillover Hypothesis (Gerard, Krishnakumar & Buehler, 2009) guides the present study in better understanding how the constructs marital conflict style and commitment can also be viewed as systemic variables influencing the entire family. Results revealed that all correlations between conflict styles and commitment to the family of origin were found to be significant at the -.01 level. Findings support the value in exploring family conflict style in relation to commitment to the family of origin and, for the current sample, suggest that a more adaptive conflict style positively relates to the level of commitment whereas a maladaptive conflict style negatively relates to the level of commitment to the family of origin. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / lk2014 / Educational Psychology / MEd / Unrestricted

The role of adult basic education and training programmes in the development of rural black women in the Omusati region in NamibiaNambinga, Selma Tilomalenga 11 1900 (has links)
The study aimed at investigating the role played by ABET programmes in the development of rural black women in the Omusati Region. The study was to determine whether the ABET programmes that are provided in the area are offering relevant education that helps the women of the area in their development.
The research findings indicated that the ABET programmes offered are not providing the relevant skills needed to develop the women participants. The programmes that are offered concentrate on literacy and numeracy, and it seem not to be very effective in making a difference to the women's lives. Women needs skills that can help them generate income to improve their living conditions. The study, in summary, established that the programmes offered by the ABET centres would be more effective if skills training is included to uplift and improve the lives of the participants on a social, economical as well as educational level. / Agriculture, Animal Health and Human Ecology / M.
