Die belewenis van laat adolessente van selfhandhawing in verhoudings in die werkomgewing aan die begin van hulle werksloopbaanMinnaar, Philippus Carel 22 June 2011 (has links)
M. Ed. / The development of behaviour, character and social skills of people stems from and is maintained by means of interaction with other people. Actually, the most crucial stage is during late adolescence, when proficiency in work ethics, relationships and especially assertiveness should be shaped, as it has direct bearing on the situation when someone does not act in an assertive manner in the work environment. People who are able to act in a truly assertive manner are able to express their feelings, thoughts and convictions without any aggression, in a non-destructive way, and to act in a neither extremely controlling, nor inappropriately reticent fashion. It has come to the notice of the researcher that the behaviour, social skills and especially the assertiveness of a considerable number of late adolescents at a specific technical training college, given their age, appear not be appropriate when among adults, as they communicate ineffectively and are not able to verbalise their expectations regarding their needs. It seems as if late adolescents do not want to make their voices heard. With “voice” an own opinion in relation to choices is meant. The researcher was left wondering whether they would be able to communicate in an adult manner with employees, and express their needs by means of “I messages”, as well as to what extent they would be able to take a stand solely on their own behalf, when having to contend with possible problems in the work environment. The emancipation process of late adolescents often gives rise to mixed emotions in themselves. They simultaneously look forward to and fear the process of becoming adults, which then results in them withdrawing themselves. Others then tend to view them as being incompetent. As a part of their need for independence, they criticise any boundaries, which in turn involves them in conflict. They display open hostility towards others and reveal low quality problem-solving skills, relating to superficial intra- and interpersonal skills in relationships with others.

The male adoloscent's experience of belonging in his family : a Gestalt perspectiveEaston, Deborah 11 1900 (has links)
This qualitative study aimed to explore the male adolescent’s sense of belonging in his family, in order to arrive at a Gestalt understanding of this concept. In order to achieve the aim, a conceptual framework was outlined focusing on concepts central to this topic, including belonging, adolescence and Gestalt theory. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eleven adolescents in order to obtain rich data. The data collected during these interviews was subsequently analysed and several themes and categories were identified and explored by the use of a literature control.
Conclusions, recommendations and a Gestalt understanding of belonging were then presented. / Play Therapy / M. Diac. (Play Therapy)

The lived experience of adolescent females who self-injure by cuttingUnknown Date (has links)
Self-injury behavior is identified as the non-suicidal, deliberate infliction of a wound to oneself in an attempt to seek expression. Self-injury is becoming more prevalent in the adolescent population; however, many nursing professionals are unaware of this phenomenon and the implications it holds for nursing. Approximately 12 to 17 percent of adolescents deliberately injure themselves although accurate statistics are difficult to obtain due to the secret and private nature of the behavior. Nurses, especially those who care for adolescents, could benefit from an understanding of the implications of self-injury, the characteristics of adolescents who self-injure, the expressivity of the behavior, and the repetitive patterns of the emotions experienced by adolescents who self-injure. Six adolescent females were interviewed for this study. Their stories were shared in rich, descriptive narratives. Common themes emerged from the words of the participants and these themes described the essence of self-injury by cutting for adolescent females. The themes which emerged were living with childhood trauma, feeling abandoned, being an outsider, loathing self, silently screaming, releasing the pressure, feeling alive, being ashamed, and being hopeful for self and others. The general structure that emerged from a synthesis of the themes was that the experience of self-injury by cutting for adolescent females is one where they are struggling for well-being and hoping for more being by using their skin as a canvas upon which internal pain is expressed as tangible and real. / by Rhonda Goodman Lesniak. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2008. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

Selecting, retaining, and socializing friends: substance use similarity among adolescent friendsUnknown Date (has links)
Friends have been implicated in the acquisition of adolescent substance use, but little attention has been given to how the origins of substance use similarity vary across groups. The first aim of this study is to examine whether friend selection, de-selection, and socialization differ as a function of friendship group's substance use. The second aim of this study is to extend Simulation Investigation for Empirical Network Analyses (SIENA) by demonstrating how group-level interactions can be included in the mode, and to demonstrate a new method to follow-up statistically significant group-level interactions in SIENA. Participants include 1419 Finnish students (729 females, 690 males) from upper secondary schools in Finland. Two waves of data were collected, starting when most participants were between 15 and 17 years of age. Waves of data collection were separated by one year. Results indicate that friends are selected, deselected, and socialized for substance use. Follow-up illustrations indicate that the magnitude of these processes vary as a function of substance use in the friendship group. / by Dawn DeLay. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2011. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

Perceptions of adolescents on morality in Polokwane: a psycho-educational approach.Mahlaba, Matleke Mamsey 09 September 2008 (has links)
The question of morality related to adolescents now seems to be a thorny issue which gets into those in authority in South Africa. So far, nobody denies that the moral fibre in live of people is deteriorating at all age levels. The adolescents are probably most vulnerable. Various research projects, obviously have been conducted in relation to morality, however, serious problems are still experienced with regard to the perception of morality by adolescents. Consequently, the aim of this research is to explore and describe how adolescents perceive morality, and to draw guidelines which will be used by educators to assist adolescents in their moral development. This research can therefore contribute in helping the adolescents acquire the knowledge of factors that affect their perception of morality. This will help them not to be a menace to society. An explorative, descriptive, contextual and qualitative design was followed to conduct this research. A purposive sample was used and the young people had to satisfy specific criteria pertaining to being adolescents. Focus group interviews were conducted. Adolescents between fourteen and eighteen years of age participated. After the interviews had been recorded on audiotape and were transcribed, Tech’s method of data analysis was followed to analyze the data and ensure that trustworthiness is maintained. The results brought the following themes to light: • Expression of adolescents’ perception of morality • Morality versus immorality • Crime • Parents identified as neglecting and abusive • Adolescents expressed concern that their parents’ perception of certain aspects of life is not acceptable. It is evident that the conduct of adolescents is determined their perceptions of morality. As a result it is hoped that if due acknowledgement is made that educators and parents need to give proper guidance to adolescents about moral principles, harmonious interaction will prevail in both the home and the school. / Prof. C.P.H Myburgh
