Birth order characteristics of monozygotic and dizygotic twinsHampton, Trudell van Burkleo, 1954- January 1991 (has links)
This study used a questionnaire designed to identify Adlerian birth order characteristics in twins. One hundred and ninety (n = 190) mothers of twins completed surveys requesting general demographic information as well as descriptive accounts of each sibling within the family constellation. An adjective checklist of birth order descriptors was completed for each twin. The resulting data were statistically analyzed using Friedman and Nemenyi's tests to compare the number of characteristics associated with birth order categories for each ordinal position. Results seemed to indicate that twins display Adlerian birth order characteristics indicative of their ordinal placement though this was not the case for every position. The largest number of characteristics for three out of five ordinal positions were those of "youngest." In contrast, twins uniformly scored lowest on "middle" characteristics.

A comparison of dreams and early recollectionsWoods, Peter Cavanaugh, 1955- January 1992 (has links)
This study compared dreams and early recollections of nine University of Arizona graduate students. The students first provided the researcher with three dreams and six early recollections. Three Adlerian experts analyzed the dreams and completed a worksheet detailing each subject's apperception of life. Three additional Adlerian experts analyzed the early recollections of the students and completed an identical worksheet. A third panel of Adlerian trained counselors compared the dream and early recollection worksheets, making a determination whether the worksheets were "Alike", "Similar", or "Different". Consistent with Adlerian theory, this study found that early recollections demonstrate more about a person's expectations, view of self, men and women, than do dreams. In contrast with early recollections, dreams express a person's more immediate concerns. While there does exist some overlap between dream analysis and early recollection analysis, both of these projective techniques provide useful information that the other does not.

Adlerian characteristics of adult only childrenBreckenridge, Danielle Leigh, 1969- January 1994 (has links)
This study used a questionnaire designed to identify Adlerian characteristics of adult only children. It was hypothesized that not all of the characteristics mentioned in Adlerian theory will be found in each of the only children and certain characteristics will not be evident in any of the only children used in this study. Four adult only children volunteered to participate in this study. The study found that all 15 Adlerian characteristics that were measured for were identified in this sample. Only one characteristic was reported by 100% of the participants-reliability. This study also attempted to clarify whether or not only children grew up with friends significantly older than themselves, have high educational levels, and have high aspirations pertaining to occupations. And whether or not female only children tend to marry people significantly older than themselves, have children at a later age, and have small families.

A Comparative Perspective of Black College Males on the Achievement Gap| Implications for School CounselorsBethell, Detra 17 May 2013 (has links)
<p> The dominant discourse regarding Black males in America is that they are less academically successful than European American males and Black females. Similarly, Black males in the Bahamas are described as less successful than Black Bahamian females. School Counselors are in a unique position to alter the trajectory of success for Black males if they are knowledgeable of factors contributing to Black male academic success; have an awareness of the potential impact their unique roles can have; and develop and execute comprehensive, culturally responsive school counseling programs. While there is little research on the Achievement Gap in the Bahamas, much of the research in America has been conducted from a deficit perspective. This study uses a strength based perspective to identify and compare factors contributing to academic success in Black male high school students in the Bahamas and the United States and suggest a framework for responsive school counseling programs. Study results indicated that school counselors in the Bahamas and the United States were ineffective in meeting the needs of Black male students. These needs included supportive teachers, friends, parents and community mentors; a socially responsive school environment; being liked, accepted and appreciated; high teacher expectations; self-reliance (resilience), perseverance; a sense of hope and a purpose; and spirituality. Study results were analyzed from an ecological perspective and a comprehensive, culturally relevant framework was suggested to assist school counselors develop programs that are responsive to the needs of their Black, male, high school students.</p>

Hope development in psychotherapy: a grounded theory analysis of client experiencesChamodraka, Martha January 2009 (has links)
Client hope has long been considered one of the most potent common factors accounting for positive psychotherapy outcomes. Research on the relationship of hope to successful outcome has produced promising results indicating the need to discover the processes and conditions under which hope flourishes during therapy. The present study examined the trajectory of hope development in psychotherapy based on in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 17 counselling clients presenting at a university counselling center with various concerns. Clients completed a measure of state hope before the first and after every session, and were interviewed once their responses indicated significantly higher levels of hope. Client narratives were analyzed using grounded theory methodology. Findings were synthesized into a dynamic and multifaceted theory, the Hope as Empowerment Theory (HET), which adopts an integrative view of hope as both cognitive and affective, and conceptualizes increased client hopefulness as a higher sense of control over the problem and as an increased sense of direction toward positive change. The compatibility of client preferences with therapist input was observed to raise clients' faith in the process of counselling, which was in some cases the stepping-stone for gaining hope in the outcome. A number of conditions, including the adaptability of client role preferences and the directiveness of hope-inspiring therapeutic strategies, were found to produce different types and varying degrees of strength of client hope. Findings are discussed in terms of the need for therapists to inquire about and consider client wishes and expectations, as well as to promote client / L'espoir du client est depuis longtemps considéré comme l'un des facteurs couramment observé ayant le plus d'impact sur les résultats positifs en psychothérapie. La recherche sur la relation entre l'espoir et l'issue favorable de la thérapie a produit des résultats prometteurs indiquant le besoin de mieux comprendre les processus et les conditions selon lesquels l'espoir peut se développer pendant la thérapie. La présente étude a examiné la trajectoire du développement de l'espoir en fonction d'entrevues approfondies et semi-structurées auprès de 17 clients demandant une consultation relativement à diverses préoccupations dans un centre de counselling universitaire. Les clients ont complété une évaluation de leur degré d'espoir avant le premier et après chaque entretien, puis ont été interviewés lorsque leurs réponses indiquaient un niveau d'espoir significativement plus élevé. Le récit des clients a été analysé selon la méthode de théorie ancrée. Une synthèse des résultats fut effectuée de façon à produire une théorie dynamique à multiples facettes, la théorie de l'espoir redonnant le pouvoir (Hope as Empowerment Theory - HET), qui propose une vision intégrative de l'espoir comme étant à la fois cognitive et affective et conceptualise l'espoir accru en un plus grand contrôle du client sur le problème ainsi qu'une mise en direction vers le changement positif. La compatibilité des préférences du client avec les interventions du thérapeute fut observée comme augmentant la confiance du client dans le processus de « counselling », et dans certains cas fut le tremplin menant à la manifestation de l'espoir envers le ré

The motivate to explore career intervention: design and investigation of a career counselling group for disengaged adolescent malesKerner, Emily January 2012 (has links)
Disengaged students are at risk for failing to complete high school. When youth drop out they not only risk facing unemployment and poverty, they also lose access to crucial supports and services that could smooth the transition from school to work. As these students are likely to seek work directly after high school, they need skills for adjusting and adapting to the world of work. To date, few studies have investigated how to engage at-risk youth in the process of career exploration and how to provide them with effective tools for navigating the school-to-work transition. This program of research focused on designing a group career exploration intervention to support the development of self-determination and career adaptability for disengaged adolescent males. The literature review summarizes key constructs in the theoretical framework (a multidimensional view of career exploration that integrates motivation and vocational development). The first manuscript details a Scientist-Practitioner Design Framework (SPDF). The SPDF is a methodological approach to designing an intervention and exploring its outcomes that uses the scientist-practitioner's clinical orientation as a guide. Manuscript two is a qualitative study that explores the experiences of participants' development of self-determination and career adaptability as a function of their group experience. Fourteen adolescent males, comprising two intervention groups, were interviewed about their group experiences. The interview transcripts were analyzed using a grounded theory method. The analysis yielded a model of Developing a Work Identity, characterized as a trajectory of development starting from lacking self-knowledge prior to the group to, after the group, knowing more about the self as it relates to work. This trajectory took two different pathways. One was influenced by active help-seeking and planning, as well as seeing career as a calling. This resulted in independent exploration and a global sense of agency. Participants who described the other trajectory did not engage in behaviours to advance their development. This trajectory was influenced by seeing career as a means to an end. It resulted in depending on others for ongoing exploration and a local sense of agency. Study two was conducted in order to learn more about how the group influenced the first trajectory. It is a case study of one participant's experience of developing a work identity and the impact of the group on his development. Results of this study suggested that structure, support from peers and the facilitator, experiential activities, and opportunities to engage in identity construction dialogue were all crucial mechanisms of change. Overall, this research program presents 1) a new methodological approach with potential for bridging science and practice, 2) an innovative career intervention for disengaged youth, and 3) preliminary insight into the contextual factors and mechanisms of change that contribute to successful career development of this population. Taken together, this work advances theory, research, and practice in vocational psychology, and gives voice to an underserved population. / Les étudiants désengagés sont en danger de ne pas compléter leur secondaire. Lorsque les jeunes décrochent, ils courent non seulement le risque de se trouver en situation de chômage et de pauvreté, mais ils perdent aussi leur accès à des soutiens et à des services cruciaux qui pourraient aplanir la période de transition entre l'école et le marché du travail. Comme ces étudiants tendent à se chercher du travail après le secondaire, ils ont besoin des connaissances nécessaires en vue de s'ajuster et de s'adapter au monde du travail. À ce jour, peu d'études se sont penchées sur la façon d'engager ces jeunes à risque dans le processus de recherche de carrière et de leur fournir des outils efficaces pour bien vivre cette transition allant de l'école au travail. Le présent programme de recherche mettait l'accent sur une série d'interventions d'exploration de carrières en groupe visant à soutenir l'élaboration de l'autodétermination et de l'adaptabilité de carrière pour les adolescents désengagés de sexe masculin. Le premier manuscrit présente en détail un modèle de cadre de conception pour le chercheur-praticien. C'est une approche méthodologique visant à concevoir une intervention et à en explorer les résultantes en utilisant l'orientation clinique du chercheur-praticien à titre de guide. Le deuxième manuscrit est une étude qualitative qui explore l'expérience menant au développement de l'autodétermination et de l'adaptabilité de carrière des participants comme fonction de leur expérience de groupe. Quatorze adolescents de sexe masculin formant deux groupes d'intervention furent interviewés quant à leurs expériences de groupe. Les transcriptions de ces entrevues furent ensuite analysées au moyen de la méthode de théorie à base empirique. L'analyse a donné un modèle en vue du Développement d'une Identité de Travail caractérisée comme une trajectoire de développement débutant par un manque de connaissance de soi, avant la formation du groupe, et se terminant, après le travail de groupe, par une meilleure connaissance de soi en relation au travail. Cette trajectoire a pris deux voies distinctes. La première fut influencée par la planification et la recherche d'aide active de même que le fait de voir la carrière comme une vocation. Il en a résulté une exploration indépendante et un sens global de responsabilisation. Les participants qui ont décrit l'autre trajectoire ne se sont pas engagés dans des comportements pour faire avancer leur développement. Cette seconde trajectoire fut plutôt influencée par le fait de voir la carrière comme un moyen d'atteindre un but. Il en a résulté une dépendance envers les autres pour une exploration continue et un sens local de responsabilisation. La deuxième étude fut effectuée pour en savoir davantage sur la façon dont le groupe avait influencé la première trajectoire. C'est une étude de cas de l'expérience d'un participant dans son développement d'une identité de travail et de l'impact du groupe sur son développement. Les résultats de cette étude suggèrent que la structure et le soutien apportés par les pairs et l'animateur, les activités expérientielles et les occasions de s'engager dans un dialogue de construction identitaire furent tous des mécanismes cruciaux de changement. En général, ce programme de recherche amène 1) une nouvelle approche méthodologique ayant un potentiel visant à jeter un pont entre la science et la pratique, 2) une intervention novatrice en matière de recherche de carrière chez les jeunes désengagés, et 3) un aperçu préliminaire dans les facteurs et les mécanismes contextuels de changement qui contribuent au succès en matière de développement de carrière auprès de ce segment de la population. Dans son ensemble, ce travail présente des théories, de la recherche et de la pratique dans le domaine de la psychologie professionnelle tout en donnant une voix à une population mal desservie.

A qualitative examination of the experiences of Taiwanese transnational youth in VancouverPetersen, Leah January 2009 (has links)
This thesis consists of two manuscripts. The first manuscript reviews empirical studies on Asian transnational families in English-speaking countries in the last two decades, provides critical analysis of the content and methodologies employed in the studies and makes recommendations for future research. The second manuscript reports the results of a qualitative study that aimed to explore the core essence of Taiwanese transnational youth's experiences adapting to the dual household arrangement in Vancouver. More specifically, the study seeks to answer the following questions: (1) How did Taiwanese transnational youth understand their family's decision to enter a transnational arrangement?; (2) How did Taiwanese transnational youth's family dynamics and individual familial relationships change over time?; and (3) How has the experience of transnational migration affected Taiwanese transnational youth's sense of identity and their plans for the future? Implications for future research and practice are also discussed. / Cette thèse contient deux parties: La première est une analyse documentaire des immigrants transnationaux Asiatique en Amérique du Nord. La deuxième étude porte sur l'expérience de jeunes Taïwanais transnationaux vivant à Vancouver. L'analyse documentaire examine les études publiés pendant les décennies 1989-2009, porte une analyse critique du contenu et méthodologie des études, et fourni des recommandations pour la recherche sur les familles Asiatique transnationaux dans l'avenir. Dans le cadre de la méthode phénoménologique, cette étude a pour but de cerner la structure transcendante ou l'essence des jeunes Taïwanais transnationaux qui doivent s'adapter à vivre dans deux foyers. Notamment, les questions suivantes sont posées : (1) comment les jeunes Taïwanais transnationaux ont-ils interprété la décision prise par la famille de vivre à deux endroits?, (2) comment la dynamique familiale et les rapports au sein de la famille des jeunes Taïwanais transnationaux ont-ils évolué?, (3) comment la migration transnationale a-t-elle changé leur image d'eux-mêmes et les projets d'avenir des jeunes Taïwanais transnationaux? Tout d'abord, un recensement des écrits sur les familles asiatiques transnationales dans les pays anglophones sert à situer ce mouvement migratoire unique en son genre. Les réponses aux questions formulées ci-dessus fourniront les orientations à donner à des études ultérieures sur les jeunes Asiatiques transnationaux et aux recommandations dont pourront bénéficier les travailleurs les côtoyant.
