The effect of deployment on Canadian military families : a phenomenological studyRoberts, Elna Dorothy 18 April 2013 (has links)
Throughout history, the Canadian Forces has been well known for both its peacekeeping
and peace-making roles. This changed, however, after September 11, 2001,when the United States launched an international campaign against terrorism. The Canadian government subsequently committed 2,200 soldiers to assist in this endeavour.
Currently the Canadian Forces has about 8,000 members preparing for, engaged in, or
returning from an overseas mission on any given day (Department of National Defence,
2008). The purpose of this study is to examine the lived experiences of military female partners whose partners have been deployed, and, in particular, to explore how the military female partner experiences the situation within the family context. The central research question of this study is: From the perspective of the female partner, how has deployment affected her family?

Effects of family structure on children's self-conceptsJohnson, Melanie Kay January 1987 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of family structure (intact, stepparent, and single-parent) on children's self-concepts using Parish & Parish's Personal Attribute Inventory for Children (PAIC). A review of the literature indicated that there seemed to be a trend for children living in single-parent families and stepfamilies to have a lower self-concept when compared to children living in intact homes.Participants in the present study were one hundred ninety-nine (199) students in grades 7 through 12 attending Burris Laboratory School. All were given the PAIC and a demographic questionnaire during their usual class times. A 3 X 3 (family structure by grade level) and a 3 X 2 (family structure by sex) factorial design analysis of variance was computed utilizing the .05 level of confidence. Although a trend was noted for students from stepfamilies to check fewer positive adjectives on the PAIC, they did not differ significantly from the means of children from single-parent or intact families. Adjectives actually chosen by children in each of the three family structures were also identified in an attempt to determine the relationships between the adjectives checked and the family structure. sex, and grade level of the student.

The anti-psychiatric perspective on the "family, schizophrenia, and society"Martin, Robert Earl January 1978 (has links)
This thesis has investigated the nature of the family, so-called "schizophrenia", and society as viewed by the major anti-psychiatric theorists and radical psychologists/psychiatrists. Particular emphasis was placed on the works of R. D. Laing, D. G. Cooper, and M. Schatzman. The family was investigated as the primary tool of induction of the individual into socially "acceptable" (i.e. conformist) roles via abdication of self, as well as the basic context in which particular individuals are labeled as "mad". The diagnostic category of "schizophrenia" was studied as a false abstraction applied to some individuals by others in a particular social situation in which the diagnosed individual's behavior has been removed from its social context and viewed wrongly as the result of a pathological process. Society was investigated as the meta-context within which these phenomena occur and their appearance of irrationality is to be understood.

Perceptions of family environment and of parental traits as correlates of offspring perceptions of gender traitsBackels, John Steven January 1990 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to identify family background variables that were correlates of offspring perceptions of gender traits. This project measured the strength of the relationship between offspring perceptions of parental gender-related traits and of offspring self-perception of gender-related traits. The strength of the relationship between measures of family environment factors and of offspring possession of gender traits was also measured. In addition, this study investigated the relationship between these measures and family demographic variables.Spence, Helmriech, and Stapp's Personal Attributes Questionnaire measured self-perception of gender traits. Spence and Helmreich's Parental Attributes Questionnaire measured perceptions of parental gender traits. Moos and Moos' Family Environment Scale measured family environment. Correlation coeffiecients were computed to measure the strength of relationships.Results indicated several significant relationships between parental and offspring gender scores. Several significant relationships emerged between perceptions of family environment and self-perception of gender traits. Sex differences were noted in these relationshlips. Although these relationships were statistically significant, the small correlation coefficients indicated that the relationships tended to be of limited practical value.An analysis which transformed correlation coeficient comparisons into z scores indicated that offspring gender traits were no more related to same-sex parental traits than they were to opposite-sex traits. Regression analyses showed that the best predictor variable for offspring selfperception of masculine traits was a family measure. The best predictor variable for offspring feminine traits was a parental trait score.This study indicated that perception of father's feminine traits was significantly related to perception of family environment. The intellectual and cultural atmosphere of one's family of origin was identified as an important variable. Implications of the findings and suggestions for further research were also presented. / Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

Home Environment and Creative and Artistic ActivityBarsh, William Alan 09 June 2006 (has links)
HOME ENVIRONMENT AND CREATIVE AND ARTISTIC ACTIVITY by WILLIAM ALAN BARSH Under the direction of Melody Milbrandt ABSTRACT This study sought to delve into and analyze the home environment and its relation to creative and artistic activity. Three artistically exceptional third grade art students, their parents, and their previous year teacher were interviewed to collect data relating to students and their home environments. Factors related to a student’s home environment such as the origins of their artistic inspirations, environment in which they made art at home, materials available to them, and the cultural values and beliefs transmitted to them in their homes were looked at to see how they influenced a child’s artistic activity. Data was collected through interviews and teacher observations and combined with a review of literature to compile strategies that might be useful for parents to use to influence their children's artistic activity. INDEX WORDS: Home environment, Creativity, Artistic activity, Families, Artistic influence, Parents, Children

Throwing Dad under the bedRoy, David 17 October 2011 (has links)
This research examines and analyses the experiences of four fathers as they negotiated British Columbia‘s child welfare system in an effort to maintain a relationship with their children and step children. While the particulars of their experiences with social workers and allied professions vary, their experiences with the child welfare system and child protection social workers reveal common themes.
These fathers told stories of being ignored, mistrusted, misled and placed under surveillance by child protection social workers employed by the Ministry of Children and Family Development.
These fathers‘ experiences suggests that the British Columbia child welfare agency is ignoring research from Lamb (1997, 2001, 2004), Strega (2005), Brown (2009) and Scourfield (2001, 2002, 2003) that stresses the importance of involving fathers in the lives of their children for reasons of both safety and well-being. This is particularly the case for children engaged in the child welfare system according to O‘Hagan (1997), Peled (2000) and Brown (2009).
Social work and institutional practices that fail to include fathers in their children‘s lives without justification are not only oppressive with respect to the adults involved but fail to consider the best interests, needs and rights of children.
The thesis concludes that when social workers in child welfare metaphorically ―throw fathers under the bed‖ they are both creating paternal ghosts and failing children by violating their fundamental human rights and undermining beneficial family relationships as stipulated under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. / Graduate
