Violence against women in cohabiting and marital relationships is, at present, a prominent phenomenon in South Africa. Domestic violence against women and children in South Africa is widespread and on the increase, also in Potchefstroom. Yet limited interventions are available. The interventions that are available include the SAPS, the court for the protection order, NGO’s and social workers. Female victims need measures that focus on building and empowering them with skills. Therefore the researcher adapted the Personal Growth Programme of FAMSA in Welkom to cater for the needs of female victims of domestic violence who are currently or were previously in an abusive relationship. The newly formulated Personal Empowerment Training Programme (PETP) is a tool that provides the female victims with the opportunity to deal with poor self–image, emotional demoralisation, loss of selfhood, self–blame and shame. Aim The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the PETP on the knowledge, attitude and behaviour of female victims of domestic violence in Potchefstroom. Method The main core of the research can be depicted as programme evaluation in which an evaluative research design was used. In the main study an experimental group was subjected to the PETP, while the control group was not. However, both experiential group and control group had to complete the pre–post questionnaire. Results The results proved that the PETP had a positive impact on the knowledge, attitude and behaviour of female victims affected by domestic violence. / Thesis (M.A. (MW))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

A growth group is the space provided for promotion of personal development in which participants can reflect and discuss issues related to everyday experiences according to the psychological point of view. It s important to highlight that this research had a qualitative approach and a theoretical humanist grounding. The study included three groups of Catholic pre-seminarians during the years 2006, 2007 and 2008. The performance of the groups was inspired by the seven steps proposed by Amatuzzi. For data collection were used felt meaning expressions, notes in field diaries and a questionnaire assessing the work completed by the participants. Data analysis was based on the following steps: 1) narrative describing the process for each group based on information from field diaries, felt meaning expressions and evaluation questionnaire, 2) search of the essential elements experienced in each group report concerning personal and educational development, 3) understanding of the meaning of the growth teamwork for the psychological development of pre-seminarians and the contribution of this work to the process of priestly formation. The research result showed that the work of the growth group has made contributions to the participants in relation to psychological and educational development, as it offered new assignments of meanings to different areas of psychological and educational process. We conclude that the practice of the growth group mobilized participants in some aspects such as greater contact with their motivations for entering the seminary, reflections on their stories of life and its relation with the choice of the priesthood, deepening the meaning of religious/ sacerdotal life, finding new ways to understand what it means to live in community and new mechanisms to deal with external pressures and expectations from the training as well as new meanings that were attributed to academic difficulties. / Partindo do pressuposto de que o trabalho com grupos de crescimento poderia contribuir para a forma??o de sacerdotes, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo descrever e compreender o processo de desenvolvimento psicol?gico e formativo de pr?seminaristas cat?licos com a pr?tica do grupo de crescimento. Entende-se por grupo de crescimento um espa?o destinado ? promo??o de desenvolvimento pessoal no qual os participantes podem refletir e discutir sobre quest?es relacionadas ?s viv?ncias cotidianas dentro do prisma psicol?gico. ? importante destacar que esta pesquisa teve um enfoque qualitativo e uma fundamenta??o te?rica humanista. Participaram do estudo tr?s grupos de pr?-seminaristas cat?licos durante os anos de 2006, 2007 e 2008. A realiza??o dos grupos inspirou-se nos sete passos propostos por Amatuzzi. Para a coleta de dados, foram utilizadas Vers?es de Sentido, anota??es em di?rios de campo e um question?rio de avalia??o do trabalho respondido pelos participantes. A an?lise de dados foi baseada nos seguintes passos: 1) narrativa descritiva do processo de cada grupo, baseada nas informa??es dos di?rios de campo, vers?es de sentido e question?rio de avalia??o; 2) busca dos elementos essenciais do vivido em cada relato de grupo no que diz respeito ao desenvolvimento pessoal e formativo; 3) compreens?o do sentido do trabalho de grupo de crescimento para o desenvolvimento psicol?gico dos pr?-seminaristas e a contribui??o deste trabalho para o processo de forma??o sacerdotal. O resultado desta pesquisa revelou que o trabalho de grupo de crescimento trouxe contribui??es para os participantes no que se refere ao desenvolvimento psicol?gico e formativo na medida em que este proporcionou novas atribui??es de significados a diversas ?reas do processo formativo e psicol?gico. Conclu?mos que a pr?tica do grupo de crescimento mobilizou os participantes em alguns aspectos tais como: maior contato com suas motiva??es para entrada no semin?rio, reflex?es sobre suas hist?rias de vida e as rela??es destas hist?rias com a escolha pelo sacerd?cio, aprofundamento sobre o significado da voca??o religiosa/sacerdotal, busca de novas maneiras de compreender o que significa viver em comunidade e novos mecanismos para lidar com as expectativas e press?es externas em rela??o ? forma??o, al?m dos novos significados que foram atribu?dos ?s dificuldades acad?micas.

Summaries in Afrikaans and English / Ons bevind ons in 'n nuwe Suid-Afrika waar die klem baie sterk op die uitwissing van die spore van die apartheidsera gele word. Die oopstelling van skole het nie daartoe bygedra dat kinders hulle vooroordele oorboord gooi en mekaar spontaan aanvaar nie. Die verandering in wetgewing wat 'n eksterne verandering is, het nie noodwendig tot verandering van gesindhede gelei nie. Daar kan derhalwe tereg gevra word hoe versoening tussen mense van verskillende kulture tot stand kan kom. In hierdie studie is gepoog om vas te stel of 'n verrykingsprogram in groepverband interpersoonlike vaardighede en verhoudinge van persone van uiteenlopende kulturele agtergronde kan bevorder. Die program is onder gekontroleerde omstandighede aangebied en die idiografiese navorsingsmetode is gebruik. Daar is bepaal watter faktore die aard en die kwaliteit van verhoudinge tussen persone van verskillende kulturele herkoms be'invloed. Riglyne is gestruktrueer en kriteria is ge'identifiseer waarvolgens die program saamgestel is. Die ouderdomme van die leertinge het tussen 15 en 21 jaar gewissel. Tydens die multikulturele groepsbelewing het die leertinge die geleentheid gehad om persoonlike en interpersoonlike vaardighede te ontwikkel sodat daar 'n openheid en 'n beg rip vir mekaar ontstaan het. Die interaksie met persone afkomstig van 'n verskeidenheid oriemtasies het daartoe gelei dat raakpunte in die diversiteit ontdek is en hulle het mekaar as individue begin erken en verstaan. Nuutgestigte verhoudings was gekenmerk deur vertroue, warmte en empatie. Deur middel van verbeterde selfbegrip en interpersoonlike vaardighede het die verhoudings tussen groeplede in verskeie dimensies beduidend verbeter. Hierdie navorsing het aangetoon dat mense van uiteenlopende kulturele orientasies soos in Suid-Afrika die geval is, deur middel van ervaringsleer in groepverband, tot grater eenheid en verdraagsaamheid saamgesnoer kan word. / Psychology of Education / D.Ed.
