The Body image of middle adolescent girlsWilliams, Jennifer Gail 01 January 2002 (has links)
The prevalence of dieting is alarmingly high amongst adolescents in South Africa. Dieting behaviour, influenced by the promotion of the thin ideal, poses one of the main risks for eating disorders, which have serious physical, psychological and social consequences, including death.
Treatment of eating disorders is a costly, difficult and long-term process, therefore preventative measures have been advocated. One of the shortcomings of existing school-based primary intervention programmes has been the failure to bring about significant changes in body image, a key defining feature of eating disorders.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a modified version of Rosen's body image programme with adolescents, with the view to exploring the idea of adding a body image component to existing preventative programmes. The modified version of Rosen's programme proved to be effective in improving the body image of mid-adolescents. / Educational Studies / M. Ed.

Factors which could influence the development of adolescent depressionMcLean, Suzanne Claire 31 January 2003 (has links)
An investigation into the prevalence and causative factors of adolescent depression in the greater Johannesburg area was undertaken. Present-day South African socio-economic pressures together with the normal demands and difficulties of adolescence, led to an investigation into which factors were having a bearing on adolescent depression and whether more male than female adolescents were depressed.
A literature study was done and major factors, which could potentially influence the development of depression, were identified.
The results of the empirical investigation indicated that negative family relations and negative peer relations play a significant role in the development of adolescent depression. Other identified factors did not appear to have a statistically significant bearing on adolescent depression. No significant statistical difference was found between the prevalence or severity of male and female adolescent depression.
Educational implications of the findings are discussed and guidelines are given to teachers and parents. / Teacher Education / M.Ed. (Guidance and Counselling)

Psigiese lewensaktualisering van die afknouer in die primere skoolBadenhorst, Charlotte Henrietta 06 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Die doelstelling van hierdie kwalitatiewe navorsing was om die leerder in die primêre
skool, wat ander afknou, se psigiese lewensaktualisering te verken en te beskryf.
Om hierdie doelstelling te bereik, is bepaalde doelwitte gestel.
Deur middel van ’n literatuurstudie is ondersoek ingestel na die ontwikkeling van die
leerder in die middelkinderjare. Voorts is die konsep van afknouery ondersoek, om
sodoende ‘n psigiese beeld te kan skep van die leerder wat ander afknou.
Projeksiemedia is in drie gevallestudies gebruik om empiriese inligting rakende die
doel van die navorsing te bekom. Temas is uit die projeksiemedia geïdentifiseer en
teen die bestaande literatuur geverifieer. Tydens die bespreking van die inligting wat
uit die projeksiemedia verkry is, is gevolgtrekkings en aanbevelings gemaak. Daar is
gepoog om die bevindinge nie te veralgemeen nie, omdat dit ‘n kwalitatiewe studie
was. / The aim of this qualitative study was to explore and describe the psychological life
actualization of the learner in primary school who bullies others. To achieve this goal,
specific objectives were set.
The development of the learner in middle childhood was examined by means of a
literature investigation. Furthermore, the concept of bullying was investigated, thus
creating a psychological image of the learner who bullies others.
Projection media were used in three case studies to obtain empirical information
regarding the objective of the research. Themes from the projection media were
identified and verified against the existing literature. During the discussion of the
information acquired from the projection media, conclusions and recommendations
were made. An attempt was made not to generalize the findings, because this was a
qualitative study. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Voorligting)

Collaborative applications used in a wireless environment at sea for use in Coast Guard Law Enforcement and Homeland Security missionsKlopson, Jadon E., Burdian, Stephen V. 03 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / This thesis analyzes the potential impact of incorporating wireless technologies, specifically an 802.11 mesh layer architecture and 802.16 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, in order to effectively and more efficiently transmit data and create a symbiotic operational picture between Coast Guard Cutters, their boarding teams, Coast Guard Operation Centers, and various external agencies. Two distinct collaborative software programs, Groove Virtual Office and the Naval Postgraduate School's Situational Awareness Agent, are utilized over the Tactical Mesh and OFDM network configurations to improve the Common Operating Picture of involved units within a marine environment to evaluate their potential impact for the Coast Guard. This is being done to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of Coast Guard units while they carry out their Law Enforcement and Homeland Security Missions. Through multiple field experiments, including Tactical Network Topology and nuclear component sensing with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, we utilize commercial off the shelf (COTS) equipment and software to evaluate their impact on these missions. / Lieutenant Commander, United States Coast Guard / Lieutenant, United States Coast Guard

A group intervention programme for adolescents of divorceJohnson, Colleen 11 1900 (has links)
Divorce has become so prevalent in our present day society, that it is regarded as one of the most sressful and complex mental health crises facing children today. As parents are often under tremendous stress during the time of divorce, they may be incapable of provding the support and guidance children need.
The purpose of this study is to present a group counselling intervention
programme to assist children of divorce and to create a supportive group
atmosphere in which children can share divorce-related feelings, clarify
common misconceptions and reduce feelings of isolation. Findings of
this study indicate that the acquisition of problem-solving communication
and anger control skills help to reduce feelings of depression and
anxiety, improve the self-concept and ultimately promote post-divorce
adjustment. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Guidance and Counselling)
