Die verband tussen stadium van morele ontwikkeling en lokus van kontrole by 'n groep Afrikaanssprekende adolessenteSwart, Bert 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: According to Hurlock ( in Louw, Gerdes & Meyer, 1985), traditional society has a larger
number of prescribed values and rules of behaviour than is the case in modern society.
In modern society the onus rests on the individual who is expected to direct his behaviour
in accordance with the values of his choice.
The individual has to accept responsibility for determining his own values. This may
create problems for the adolescent because he will be confronted by a wide range of
diverse values without the benefit of guidelines or rules to tell him which of those values
should be accepted and which should rather be avoided. Against this background it
becomes clear why the internalization of moral values, as they develop, is of utmost
importance to the adolescent.
In this study an attempt has been made to investigate the relationship between stage of
moral development and locus of control within a group of Afrikaans-speaking adolescents.
The study has further attempted to determine the influence of intellectual ability on the
relationship between stage of moral development and locus of control. Males and
females were also compared with respect to moral development and locus of control.
The sample comprised 193 white, Afrikaans-speaking grade eleven pupils. Seventy-six
were boys and 117 girls. The subjects were selected from three high schools situated in
three different towns and/or cities. All the subjects came from complete families in which
both biological parents were present.
Taylor's Reasons for Action Questionnaire (1978) was used to determine the stage of
moral development. This questionnaire is based on Lawrence Kohlberg's six stages of
moral development which in itself developed from the cognitive-developmental structural
approach to moral development. The Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Questionnaire was used to measure the
level of locus of control. Intelligence test scores, as measured by the New South African
Group Test, were obtained from the E119 records at the various schools. The responses
to a biographical questionnaire were used to facilitate the demarcation of the sample.
The results of the study indicated that on average the sample as a whole, functions on a
conventional moral level. A significantly negative correlation (r(193) = -,28; P < ,001) was
found between locus of control and level of moral developement. This indicates that within
this group of Afrikaans-speaking adolescents an internal locus of control is associated
with a higher level of moral development whilst and external locus of control is associated
with a lower level of moral development.
In this study intelligence had little or no influence on the relationship between level of
moral development and locus of control. This supports the view of Kohlberg (1969) that
there is a curved line relationship between the level of moral judgement and intellectual
ability.
Finally it may be said with a 95% degree of certainty, that there is a significant gender
difference in respect of the construct of moral development. The girls used in this sample
displayed a more developed level of moral development than the boys. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In tradisionele samelewings is daar, volgens Hurlock (aangehaal in Louw, Gerdes &
Meyer, 1985), meer waardes en reëls vir gedrag voorgeskryf as in die moderne
samelewing. In die moderne samelewing rus die onus op die individu om sy gedrag
volgens die waardes van sy keuse in te rig. Hierdie verantwoordelikheid wat op die
individu rus om self sy waardes te bepaal, kan vir die adolessent probleme skep
aangesien hy deur 'n groot verskeidenheid waardes konfronteer word sonder riglyne of
reëls oor watter waardes aanvaar en watter liefs vermy moet word. Teen hierdie
agtergrond is dit duidelik waarom die internalisering van morele waardes, soos dit
ontwikkel, van uiterste belang is vir die adolessent.
Die onderhawige studie poog om die verband tussen die stadium van morele ontwikkeling
en lokus van kontrole by 'n groep Afrikaanssprekende adolessente te ondersoek. Verder
is probeer om die invloed van intellektuele vermoë op die verband tussen die stadium van
morele ontwikkeling en lokus van kontrole te ondersoek. Laastens is die geslagte met
mekaar vergelyk ten opsigte van die twee konstrukte, naamlik stadium van morele
ontwikkeling en lokus van kontrole.
Die ondersoekgroep het bestaan uit 193 blanke Afrikaanssprekende graad 11 leerlinge.
Hiervan was 76 seuns en 117 meisies. Die toetslinge was afkomstig uit drie hoërskole
wat in drie verskillende dorpe en/of stede geleë is. Die toetslinge het uit volledige
gesinne gekom, dit wil sê, gesinne waar beide die biologiese ouers nog teenwoordig was
in die huishouding.
Die Redes vir Optrede Vraelys van Taylor (1978) is gebruik om die stadium van morele
ontwikkeling vas te stel. Hierdie vraelys is gebaseer op Lawrence Kohlberg se ses stadia van morele ontwikkeling wat ontstaan het vanuit die kognitief-ontwikkelende strukturele
benadering van morele ontwikkeling.
Die Rotter Interne-Eksterne Lokus van Kontrole Vraelys is gebruik om die vlak van lokus
van kontrole te bepaal. Verstandtoetstellings, soos gemeet deur die Nuwe Suid-
Afrikaanse Groeptoets, is vanaf die E119-vorms by die onderskeie skole verkry. Die
response op "n biografiese vraelys is benut ten einde die steekproef effektief at te baken.
Die resultate van die ondersoek toon dat die totale steekproef wat gemiddeldes betref, op
'n konvensionele morele vlak redeneer. Daar is "n beduidende negatiewe verband
r(193) = -,28; p< ,001) tussen lokus van kontrole en vlak van morele ontwikkeling
gevind. Dit dui daarop dat, by hierdie groep Afrikaanssprekende adolessente, "n interne
lokus van kontrole saamgaan met "n hoër vlak van morele ontwikkeling en "n eksterne
lokus van kontrole met "n laer vlak van morele ontwikkeling saamgaan.
In hierdie studie het intellektuele vermoë ook weinig tot geen invloed op die verband
tussen vlak van morele ontwikkeling en lokus van kontrole gehad nie. Die bevinding
ondersteun Kohlberg (1969) se siening dat die verband tussen vlak van morele oordeel
en intellektuele vermoë kromlynig is.
Laastens kan daar met 95% sekerheid gesê word dat die geslagte beduidend van mekaar
verskil ten opsigte van die konstruk morele ontwikkeling. Dit blyk dat die meisies in
hierdie steekproef moreel verder ontwikkel het as die seuns.

THE EMERGENCE OF CHILDREN'S SPATIAL ABILITIES: A QUESTION OF GEOMETRIC PRECISION.GLIDER, PEGGY. January 1986 (has links)
This research investigated the precision with which spatial information can be maintained in memory and reproduced as well as factors which may effect these emerging abilities. To study this, ten males and ten females in each of first, third, fifth, and seventh grades participated in three drawing tasks under two conditions (match and recall). The tasks involved the presentation of a 4" straight line or a 2" x 2" right angle drawn on an 8" white disc. Subjects were asked to draw a line exactly the same size and in the same place (static), after an imagined rotation, or after an imagined bending or unbending of the line (transformation) on an 1" white disc. Several mixed design analyses of variance with repeated measures on the task variables were run. First graders made significantly more errors than all other subjects. Third and fifth graders differed little and both performed significantly less accurately than seventh graders. Performance on the rotation task and the transformation task did not differ significantly with performance on both yielding more error than performance on the static task. The match condition generally proved easier than the recall condition, straight lines led to less error than bent lines, and orientation information was more accurately preserved than metric information. The requirements of the task, i.e., no change, change in position, or a change in form, interacted with both the stimulus type and the type of information preserved. Grade level also interacted significantly with task and stimulus type. When determining how spatial abilities emerge and the accuracy with which spatial information can be dealt, task demands, stimulus characteristics, and type of information being measured must be considered along with the developmental changes.

Gender differences in the perceptions of sexual abuseSandras, Eric 03 March 1998 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to explore gender differences in adult
perceptions of sexual abuse encounters between an adult male and
children of both genders and of various ages. Subjects were four hundred
and fifty three students from a northwestern university. They were recruited
from a lower-level human development course and from introductory
courses in the arts and humanities department. One hundred and seventy-nine
males and 274 females participated in the study. Participants were
randomly given one of four vignettes that contained a scenario describing
an "ambiguous" sexual encounter between a neighbor man and a child.
The age of the child (5 or 13) and the child's gender differed between the
scenarios. Results showed that female respondents were more likely than
their male counterparts to perceive that the encounter was serious in
nature (p=.022) and to expect the child in the scenario to be negatively
impacted by the encounter (p=.001). Other results indicated that female
respondents perceived the encounter with the older child, regardless of the
child's gender, as more serious in nature (p=.008) and would have more
negative outcomes (p=.002) than the encounter with the younger child.
Male respondents also perceived that the encounter with the older child
would have more negative outcomes for the child (p=.003) than the
encounter with the younger child. Gender of child in the scenario was not
predictive of perceived seriousness of the encounter nor of the negative
impact of the encounter for either male or female respondents. Conclusions
and implications are discussed. / Graduation date: 1998
