Uncommon sports psychology: a qualitative study of the process of utilizing family therapy theory and techniques with an athletic teamZimmerman, Toni Schindler 14 October 2005 (has links)
Coaches and athletes utilize sports psychology as a part of training and preparation for competition. A linear individualistic epistemology is generally subscribed to by sports psychologists. This study investigated a new way of working with athletic teams, from a systems perspective. The researcher consulted with a university athletic team utilizing family systems therapy theory and techniques. This "uncommon sports psychology" approach was studied using qualitative methodology. A detailed case study, including rationale for interventions, was reported and may serve as an example to systems therapists who want to consult with “athletic teams. At the end of the consultation sessions, a focus group eliciting the participants' perceptions of the consultation process. Finally, recurrent themes and patterns which emerged throughout the consultation process were discussed. Discussion of the methodology and implications for future research and clinical work were also included. / Ph. D.

Psychosocial factors affecting adaptation of patients and spouses to myocardial infarctionGunn, William Bessent January 1986 (has links)
Former heart attack patients and spouses in 140 Families completed a mailed self-report questionnaire containing the Family Inventory of Life Events and Changes, the Coping and Health Inventory For Parents, three scales developed For this study measuring family process variables and demographic questions. Dependent measures were the Spielberger trait anxiety and Zung depression scales. Criteria for inclusion in the study were (a) a heart attack in the past 19 months b) married at the time of infarction and (c) ages between 30-65.
The analyses included frequency distributions, correlations between the 11 variables and depression/anxiety and stepwise regression analyses using each dependent variable For both patient and spouse. Eighty-two percent of the independent variables in the patient group were correlated with anxiety and depression at at least the p≤.01 level. Thirty-nine percent of the spouse variables were correlated at at least the p≤.01 level. Variables from each of the major factors of the Double ABCX model were included. Regression analyses for the patient population showed 7 variables contributing 63 & of the variance in predicting depression and 5 variables contributing 58% of the variance in predicting anxiety. Regression analyses for the spouse population showed 4 variables that contributed 25% of the variance in predicting depression and 4 variables that contributed 32% of the variance in predicting anxiety.
The results were discussed in reference to the use of these measures in further theory development and in clinical settings. Implications for further research are presented. / Ph. D. / incomplete_metadata

A comparison between western family therapy and the 'imbizo' system used in the black cultural environmentSepenyane, Tlhoriso Audrey 06 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to compare western family therapy to the "imbizo" system that is used as a kind of family therapy in the black cultural environment. The "imbizo" system is different from western therapy in its composition. Relatives play a more prominent role than in western family therapy. The imbizo system provides unique support and aftercare to its clients. Unlike western therapy, it requires no payment of fees. The "imbizo" excludes children while western family therapy includes every family member as part of the system in the therapeutic process. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three male respondents from the Nguni ethnic group and one male and two females from the Sotho ethnic group. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed.

Affirming communication and its association with family functioningJordaan, Cabriere 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Affirming or positive family communication is an important aspect in helping families and
individuals protect themselves against various life challenges (Greeff & Du Toit, 2009; Greeff &
Van der Merwe, 2004; Norman, 2000). According to Barnes and Olson (1985), affirming family
communication plays an important role in an adolescent’s development. The present study aimed
to determine the relationship between affirming family communication and family functioning.
The relationships between family functioning and the quality of communication between the
adolescent and the father and mother respectively were also investigated. Then, as the main
focus of the present study, affirming family communication was explored qualitatively from the
perspective of the adolescents.
A quantitative survey research design was combined with an exploratory, qualitative design. The
quantitative data was collected with self-report questionnaires, while the qualitative data was
gathered by recording a discussion of affirming family communication in focus groups. The
participants were first-year Psychology students of the University of Stellenbosch in South
Africa. A total of 83 females and 17 males took part in the quantitative component of the present
study (N = 100). Fourteen of these 100 students also took part in the focus group discussions.
Pearson correlation coefficients revealed a significant positive correlation between affirming
family communication and family functioning. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation
was found between family functioning and openness in communication between the adolescent
and the mother and father respectively. The results of the multiple regression analysis revealed
that openness in communication with the mother, affirming family communication and problems in communication with the father were important predictors of family functioning. Three core
categories (with sub-categories) emerged from the content analysis of the focus group
discussions on affirming family communication. These core categories were verbal affirming communication, non-verbal affirming communication and functional affirming communication.
The findings of the present study highlight the importance of affirming family communication,
especially in families with adolescent children, while also providing a description of affirming
family communication from the adolescents’ perspectives. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Bevestigende of positiewe gesinskommunikasie is ’n belangrike aspek wat gesinne en individue
in staat stel om hulself teen verskeie lewensuitdagings te beskerm (Greeff & Du Toit, 2009;
Greeff & Van der Merwe, 2004; Norman, 2000). Volgens Barnes and Olson (1985) speel
bevestigende gesinskommunikasie ’n belangrike rol in die ontwikkeling van ’n adolessent.
Hierdie studie het gepoog om die verhouding tussen bevestigende gesinskommunikasie en
gesinsfunksionering te bepaal. Die verhoudings tussen gesinsfunksionering en die kwaliteit van
kommunikasie tussen die adolessent en elk van die ouers is ook ondersoek. Laastens is
bevestigende gesinskommunikasie, as die hoof fokus van hierdie ondersoek, op ’n kwalitatiewe
wyse vanaf die adolessent se perspektief ondersoek.
’n Kwantitatiewe opname-navorsingsontwerp is gekombineer met ’n eksploratiewe, kwalitatiewe
ontwerp. Die kwantitatiewe data is met behulp van selfrapporteringsvraelyste ingesamel en die
kwalitatiewe data is ingesamel deur ’n opname te maak van ’n bespreking van bevestigende
gesinskommunikasie in fokusgroepe. Die deelnemers was eerstejaar Sielkunde-studente van die
Universiteit van Stellenbosch in Suid-Afrika. ’n Totaal van 83 vroue en 17 mans het aan die
kwantitatiewe komponent van die ondersoek deelgeneem (N = 100). Veertien van hierdie 100
studente het ook aan die fokusgroepbesprekings deelgeneem.
Pearson korrelasiekoëffisiënte toon hoogs beduidende korrelasies tussen bevestigende
gesinskommunikasie en gesinsfunksionering. Verder is daar ook hoogs beduidende korrelasies
gevind tussen gesinsfunksionering en openheid in kommunikasie tussen die adolessent en die ma
en pa onderskeidelik. Die resultate van die meervoudige regressieontledings het getoon dat
openheid in kommunikasie met die ma, bevestigende gesinskommunikasie en probleme in kommunikasie met die pa belangrike voorspellers was van gesinsfunksionering. Op grond van
die fokusgroepbesprekings oor bevestigende gesinskommunikasie het drie kernkategorieë (met subtemas) deur ’n inhoudsanalise na vore gekom. Hierdie kernkategorieë is verbale bevestigende
kommunikasie, nie-verbale bevestigende kommunikasie en funksionele bevestigende
kommunikasie. Die bevindinge van hierdie ondersoek beklemtoon die belangrikheid van
bevestigende gesinskommunikasie, veral in gesinne met adolessente kinders, terwyl dit ook ’n
beskrywing bied van bevestigende gesinskommunikasie vanuit die perspektief van adolessente.
