Mapping the care domain : conceptualization, assessment, and relation to eating disordersHennig, Karl H. 11 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this dissertation was to undertake a conceptualization and empirical
"mapping" of the ethic-of-care domain - often characterized as self-referential and lacking in
rigor. The current focus is upon conventional forms of care, involving notions of moral
"goodness" as self-silencing and -sacrificial.
Employing a "super" circumplex as a prescriptive and descriptive tool, projected item
analyses were undertaken as a theoretico-structural clarification of existing scale items, along
with a provisional pool of additional items generated as part of Study 1. Based in part on
proposed circular criteria, the Conventional Care Scales (CCS) were developed and
submitted to a conjoint principal components analysis along with the battery of other
care/dependency scale items. An examination of item circular distributions, factor loadings,
alpha-contribution plots, and thematic content revealed several factors expressive of two
"faces" of conventional care, submissive and ingenuous. These two forms were shown to
have unique correlates with measures of adjustment, interpersonal competencies, other
factors of the Five-Factor Model, false-self beliefs, and reported distress in narrated accounts
of rejected care giving. Gender differences in the association between indices of adjustment
and conventional care were also found. The range of conventional care was also extended
through the development of scales reflecting other-directed and socially prescribed
dimensions of conventional care. The factor structure for the CSS was also replicated in a
second sample (Study 2). Participants for Studies 1 and 2 were composed of undergraduate
students (N = 302 in both samples) who completed a battery of questionnaires in the first
study and the CCS alone in the second study.
Anticipating future clinical directions, secondary analyses using structural equation
modelling were conducted on an existing data set (N = 92) which included measures of
conventional care and perfectionism, along with indices of psychological adjustment and
eating disordered attitudes. Results indicated that conventional care, for which there is little
research, was more predictive of adjustment and eating disordered attitudes than
perfectionism, for which there exists a large clinical literature. This research contributes to
an understanding of ways in which an ethic of care can "go awry," as well as proposes a
research platform upon which the clinical implications of morality and self-ideals can be
investigated. These findings speak to both the constraints and prescriptions that can inform a
philosophical ethic of care. / Arts, Faculty of / Psychology, Department of / Graduate

Keeping the chaos in : the application of self psychology in the treatment of childhood functional faecal retentionCotterell, Angela 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA (Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / This study presents the possible contribution that self psychology might make to understanding, and guiding the treatment of; childhood functional faecal retention. A
discussion of self psychology's theoretical perspective on childhood development is
provided, including specific reference to the central theoretical issues 0 f optimal
responsiveness and mutual- and self-regulation and how these manifest within the
psychotherapeutic process. A case study provides the vehicle for the discussion ofthe
applicability and relevance of the central self psychological tenets to the
psychotherapeutic treatment of functional faecal retention in childhood. It tentatively
concludes that self psychological theory may be useful in informing and structuring
the treatment of children with retentive encopresis, and may be especially useful in
conjunction with potentially invasive medically and surgically based interventions
