Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examined certain distal and proximal relational factors and emotional capabilities of individuals in therapeutic programs in Greece. The three studies aimed to extend existing work by examining links between distal (child abuse reports) and proximal (adult attachment, social support) relation factors with psychological health outcomes of substance users in addiction treatment programs. The results from the three studies supported the view that: a) distal (childhood maltreatment) and proximal (attachment organization) relational factors are important predictors of substance users’ well-being; b) proximal factors (anxious attachment) mediate effects of abusive experiences; c) emotional capabilities and specifically regulatory processes have a prominent role as mediators of relational factors on substance users’ well-being.

Full textAbstract:
Focusing on sensations of not feeling well or illness complaints that have not yet been given a diagnosis by a health professional, this research asks how children in an adult-centered and pluralistic context of health care negotiate their illness experiences at home and school. The ways in which children actively construct, frame and deal with their illness, and the role their social position (gender and social class) in the Ghanaian context plays in this process is explored. The research highlights how children intentionally navigate relations and interactions with adults, make use of their social and physical environment to contest, self-diagnose, self-medicate and to deal with their sensations of not feeling well.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored children’s experiences and perceptions of adults and child-adult relations and relationships. Child-adult relations involve the conceptualisation of adults and children as distinct social groups and child-adult relationships are inter-personal relationships between individuals that cross the boundary between these groups. The focus of this study was children’s contacts and relationships with adults and how these relationships informed children’s constructions of child-adult relations. The study took place in the context of concern about distance between child and adult worlds generating negative stereotypes and distrust between the two social groups and an interest in children’s perspectives. A multi-stage, multi-method study was undertaken with children aged 10/11 years living in the relatively deprived, ‘Social Inclusion Partnership’ (SIP), areas of a Scottish city. A period of familiarisation, through participant observation, was undertaken with Year 6 children in one school, followed by paired and individual interviews with 17 children. A survey was then conducted with 375 children in primary schools across the SIP areas. In general it seemed that ‘relationships’ with individual adults, other than with parents, were not particularly important to the children, who, with a few exceptions, did not seek out such adults and generally indicated a preference for spending time with other children. However, knowing and being able to identify adults within and beyond their families was very important to children’s sense of self and to their feelings of belonging to a family and within a neighbourhood. The children did experience their worlds and those of adults as separate. Mobility beyond their neighbourhood without adult accompaniment, to visit swimming pools, cinemas, and retail facilities, provided children with opportunities to observe and experience a range of ‘unknown’ adults, and particularly ‘public workers’. This experientially confirmed their conceptualisations of adults as a separate social group occupying a higher status than children. The research process in itself indicated that in some circumstances children did have an interest in interacting with adults, and that time, negotiation, testing and trusting were part of the relationship forming process. The child-adult relationships formed in this study through engagement in ‘joint enterprises’, of play and research project, provide evidence for the possibilities of positive ‘generational proximity’ between children and adults.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to describe the strengths and needs of Deaf adults as parents of school-age and adolescent children. A cross-sectional, descriptive design was employed to gather data from a convenience sample of Deaf parents and hearing children from 15 families. The Parental Strengths and Needs Inventory (PSNI)--a 60 item Likert instrument--and structured interviews were used in data collection. The PSNI was administered to parents in sign language via videotape, and they were interviewed with the assistance of a professional interpreter. Parents' and children's total scores on the PSNI were above average according to Strom and Coolege's scoring instructions (1985). Review of subset scores indicated that Deaf parents had above average interest in acquiring additional information about childrearing, and parents of adolescents felt more than average frustration. Comparison of parents' and children's scores on parallel forms of the PSNI demonstrated no significant differences in total or subset scores, supporting validity of parents' scores. Comparison of parents' and children's interview responses with the topics on the PSNI revealed that the content on the PSNI was valid, but incomplete for Deaf parents. Deaf parents shared the concerns of normally hearing parents, but had additional concerns specific to parental deafness which were not addressed in the PSNI. Contributions of the study to Nursing research focused on strategies for triangulation and pilot testing of instruments in cross-cultural research. Limitations of the study were presented in terms of instrumentation and study design. Cautions also reported are interpretation of findings related to the ex-post-facto nature of the research design and the complexity of factors interrelated with parental Deafness.

Full textAbstract:
This study was designed to investigate aspects of the coparenting relationship between employed mothers and fathers within the same family. Similarities and dissimilarities in parenting goals between married or cohabiting couples with toddler or preschool-aged children were the main focus. One hundred thirty couples were recruited via advertisements posted in community agencies and also through published advertisements in parent-oriented magazines. Parents who each worked (or attended school) twenty-five hours per week or more and who had an eldest child between 24 and 60 months of age participated independently in an interview about their parenting goals and also responded to questionnaires about family well-being. Overall, the participants were a well-adjusted sample of parents, representing the demographics of the Canadian city from which the majority of the sample was taken.
A contextually-based vignette-style interview of parenting goals revealed moderate agreement between parents within the same family on parenting goals. Mothers and fathers reported parenting goals that were flexible and based on the behaviour displayed by the child. In particular, in responding to children's internalizing behaviour, parents attached greater importance to child-centred and relationship-centred goals than to parent-centred goals. In response to vignettes depicting externalizing child behaviour, parents endorsed greater importance for parent-centred goals than for either child-centred or relationship-centred goals. Similarity in parenting goals was higher for parents of toddlers than for parents of preschool-age children. Also, the greater the similarity in parenting goals between mothers and fathers the more satisfied mothers were with their parenting and their life in general. For fathers, greater similarity in parenting goals was related to greater satisfaction with their parenting only. Interestingly, although the degree of similarity in parenting goals was not related to marital satisfaction, the relation between similarity in parenting goals and mothers' ratings of marital satisfaction was different depending on the support for parenting mothers received from their partners. The findings of the present study emphasize that not all differences between parents on child-related issues are harmful to family well-being and that it is important to consider both mothers' and fathers' perspectives within the area of coparenting. Clinical and research implications are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, the social experiences of a young adult growing up as an only-child were explored. A single case study with a female only-child, 23 years of age was used to elicit the themes related to these social experiences. The conceptual framework utilised for this study included the concepts of social identity, social relations and social learning, which incorporated the various social agents and contexts explored in this study. Data was generated through multiple sessions, which consisted of the participant’s life story, people and places maps, as well as unstructured and semi-structured interviews. In addition, field notes and observations were recorded in a reflective journal. The data was analysed and interpreted through thematic analysis, which involved an in-depth selection of themes evident in the participant’s written and verbal expressions. The results of the study were presented in the form of themes, subthemes and categories depicting the social experiences of the participant. The primary themes that seemed to have influenced the social experiences of the participant were her relationships (specifically that with her primary caregivers) and her experiences (attached to these relationships). This study yielded an additional category, which can be seen as contributing to the literature on the social experiences of only-children. This category focused on the cultural influences of the participants’ family, which seemed to be significant in shaping her identity.Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2011.

Ferguson, Lauren Elizabeth. "Examining Generational and Gender Differences in Parent-Young Adult Child Relationships During Co-residence." PDXScholar, 2016. http://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/3029.
Full textAbstract:
Young adults of the twenty-first century face a long path to adulthood marked by uncertainty and lack of stability. In response, young adults are heading back to or failing to leave their family homes in higher numbers than generations before (Jacobsen and Mather 2011; Qian 2012). These macro-level trends bring about questions about their impact on family relationships as well as how these relationships have evolved over time. My thesis investigates parent-child relationships during co-residence with a specific focus on generation and gender differences. Through secondary data analysis of the National Survey of Families and Households, I explore how parent-child relationships during co-residence differ between parents of Generation Xer young adults (born between 1965-1980) and Millennial young adults (born between 1981-1996). Additionally, I examine gender differences between these two generational cohorts. My findings offer support that intergenerational relationships are not necessary closer, but look different for parents of Millennials as compared to Generation Xers. I also find that there are significant gender differences between mothers and fathers of Generation Xers versus those of Millennials. I find that mothers of Generation Xers report more time shared with co-residing young adults and increased frequency of perceived emotional support from their child than fathers; yet, fathers of Millennials report more perceived support than mothers. I suggest these findings offer support for the notion that gendered roles play out into young adulthood and potentially have more flexibility for fathers across time. As the economic and social landscape continues to change and present more uncertainty, family relationships become a form of social security; thus it becomes increasingly important to understand these dynamics. My findings are significant as they contribute to a better understanding of parent-child relationships over time and offer discussion on the potential implications.

Full textAbstract:
This investigation represents an initial attempt toward the construction of a general life cycle theory of parent-child relations. Emphasis was placed on the parent-adult child relationship with the onset of a filial crisis, e.g., due to illness. After the theory was described, two of the five propositions comprising this orientation (i.e., propositions four and five) were analyzed through a series of twenty-five hypotheses. The objectives of these hypotheses were (a) to analyze the relationship between the length of time involved in various patterns of filial responsibility and the likelihood that these patterns will become institutionalized as obligatory roles and (b) to determine how factors associated with these emergnt role obligations contribute to the cost of caregiving. A probability sample of 180 caregivers was obtained from within the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Multiple and partial correlation analyses and the use of Student's t revealed that the length of time involved as a caregiver was significantly related to the number of informal caregiving roles performed by adult children. In addition, results indicated that the length of involvement in each caregiving role examined (i.e., household care, transportation service, personal care, medical attention, meal preparation, financial management and mobility assistance) was significantly related to (a) the frequency of providing these services to an aged parent and (b) the level of responsibility in each service area except financial management (which tended to remain constant over time)• An adult child s level of obligation to ensure that caregiving services were provided was also significantly associated with the length of caregiving involvement. Furthermore, this study found tentative support for the contention that the social-psychological cost of providing care for a dependent parent was associated with (a) the frequency of providing transportation services and medical attention, (b) the number of informal caregiving activities performed and (c) the length of caregiver involvement. A set of three control variables (i.e., the household living arrangements and both the aged parent s and adult child's physical health status) were identified as significant contributors to the cost of caregiving. Based on the empirical results of this investigation, propositions four and five of the theoretical perspective presented in this dissertation were supported.

Full textAbstract:
The study draws on theories of society, learning, planning and design, democracy, identity formation, and cultural change to inquire into children’s participation in the social sphere. The thesis emerges from the growing literature in the sociological and educational study of childhood, identity, space and culture. A case study approach, using a variety of participatory methods and photographic visual evidence, is employed to investigate the substantive issue of children’s participation in changing their locales in a contemporary Scottish context. Two main cases are narrated: the first concerns primary school children’s experience in participating in changing school grounds throughout Scotland; the second details the experience of one local authority’s efforts to enhance public play provision for children with disabilities. Local socio-cultural / spatial practices used in the construction of children’s participation and their places of learning, work, and play are described. Children are found to be ‘positioned’ between adult desires to increase children’s participation in matters that affect them, while at the same time, adults may wish to protect children from perceived dangers. The context for children’s participation takes cognisance of the influences of schooling, the exclusion of children from the workplace, as well as the influences of technology, the media, and the changes in family make-up. One central finding of the thesis is that children’s experience of participation appeared to be constructed out of ‘essential beliefs’ about the relations between children and adults, the nature of the child and the child’s ‘place’ in society.

"The operationalization of Adultcentrism and Black Pedagogy constructs to promote personal well-being in adult-child relationship: A first application in the context of teacher-student relationship and increase of Specific Learning Disorder diagnoses." Doctoral thesis, Università degli studi di Bergamo, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/10446/128556.
Full textAbstract:
The present dissertation advances proposals of operationalization for the concepts of Black Pedagogy (Miller, 1980; Perticari, 2016; Rutschky, 1977, 2015) and Adultcentrism (Goode, 1986; Petr, 1992; Furioso, 2000; Mackay, 1973, 2003; Biancardi, 2002; Foti, 2004). The former is meant as a set of educational and disciplinary practices assimilable into those that nowadays are included in the frame of physical and psychological maltreatment, the latter refers instead to a paradigm of thought, prevailing within our social system, which would lead to provide inadequate or distorted responses to children’s needs (Furioso, 2000). The reflection on a possible legacy deriving from such educational forma mentis is discussed in the light of what is commonly deemed in society as included in the ius corrigendi justification in relation to the “Abuse of means of correction or discipline” (Art. 571, I.P.C.). A third measurement instrument has been developed (“Representations and Attitudes towards SLD diagnoses questionnaire” - RADSA) in order to implement a research representing the first application of Adultcentrism and Black Pedagogy scales in the context of teacher-student relationship and of the phenomenon of SLD diagnoses increase.
Four studies are therefore included in the present work: three validation studies of the new instruments and one main study involving the participation of 294 Italian primary school teachers belonging to the Territorial Area of Bergamo.
Results are in line with the importance, highlighted in the literature, of making an effort in recognizing the partiality of the adultcentric perspective since our biased understanding of adult-child relationship appears to prevent the acknowledgement of the deeply reciprocal and bilateral qualities of the encounter between those that can be seen as two cultures: the one of adults and the one of children. Moreover, it has been found that Adultcentrism significantly explains 30.4% of the variance in Black Pedagogy scores, thus providing the well-founded impression that an adultcentric perspective risks to deviate towards detrimental educational and disciplinary practices. Implications for teachers’ role in the context of the always increasing number of SLD diagnoses in our territory are also discussed.
One of the most important suggestions deriving from the presented results is that it seems more functional to work on the level of values, beliefs, and objectives connected to child-rearing, disciplinary and educational practices rather than intervening directly on practical methods in order to modify them.
The possible applications of Adultcentrism and Black Pedagogy scales could range from research fields of pedagogy, education, parenting, child advocacy to social-juridical psychology.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine parents’ management styles when caring for adult children with serious mental illness (SMI), as well as parents’ perspectives on what type of community-based mental health interventions would support and/or enhance overall family functioning. This qualitative descriptive study was undergirded by Knafl and Deatrick’s Family Management Style Framework. Thirty parents (N = 30) caring for adult children with SMI over age 18 were recruited as participants. Demographic data included age, gender, ethnicity, educational level, annual income, and National Alliance on Mental Illness membership. Parents were interviewed in their homes or other private setting. Verbal informed consent was obtained. Audio-recorded, individual, semistructured interviews were conducted until redundancy was achieved. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Four major themes emerged from the data. These themes described prolonged, difficult, and confusing phases that parents and the family undergo in caring for an adult child with SMI. These phases have a progressive nature, moving from parents recognizing that their child has a SMI to redefining family life as a result of caring for an adult child with SMI. Successful management of these phases must include increasing access to mental health information, mental health screening, early interventions, violence prevention, and various treatment options for adult children and their families.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: The present study examined the relations of children's effortful control (EC), emotion understanding, maladjustment, social competence, and relationship quality with nonparental caregivers in a sample of 30-, 42-, and 54-month olds. EC was measured with mothers' and caregivers' reports, as well as observed behavioral tasks. Emotion understanding was assessed by asking children to identify emotions during a puppet task. Mothers and caregivers also reported on children's problem behaviors and social competence. Caregivers provided reports of the quality of their relationship with children. Results from longitudinal structural equation models indicated that even after controlling for sex, SES, language ability, and previous levels of constructs, emotion understanding predicted EC one year later at 42 and 54 months. In addition, children with higher EC had more positive relationships with caregivers at 42 and 54 months. Although EC and EU were not significantly related to maladjustment and social competence after accounting for within time covariation among constructs and longitudinal stability, marginal findings were in expected directions and suggested that more regulated children with better emotion understanding skills had fewer behavioral problems and were more socially skilled. Findings are discussed in terms of the strengths and limitations of the present study.Dissertation/Thesis

Full textAbstract:
Interviewing eighteen older parents (aged 65 and older) with two or more
children for this project established support for the emotional experience of
intergenerational ambivalence. Seventy-five parent-child relationships were
discussed. Two major themes arose over what healthy, independently living
parents feel ambivalent about in their relationships with their midlife children. The
first theme focused on how parents simultaneously felt sadness and pride about the
busyness of their children's lives. In some respects, parents sensed themselves left
out of their children's everyday life, yet they accepted these feelings with a
gratified knowledge that their children were functioning adults in society. The
second theme of intergenerational ambivalence that surfaced from the interviews
was the issue of respecting and negotiating boundaries around spheres of
influence. Parents oscillated between positive and negative feelings and thoughts
about the appropriateness of offering advice to children. Parents shared conflicted
thoughts about stepping back, allowing their children to live their own lives even if
they disapproved of certain aspects of it. A few parents shared situations when
they felt they did interfere and overstepped their right to comment on their
children's life decisions. This theme centered around four issues: financial matters,
core beliefs of politics and religion, romantic partnerships, and parenting styles.
This study also examined management strategies parents used to sort out
and think through complex feelings and thoughts about their midlife children. A
contribution this project gives to the emergence of intergenerational ambivalence
as a theoretical concept of study in parent-child relations over the lifecourse is the
experience of older mothers and fathers. I found no evidence parents experienced
qualitatively different emotions because of their gender. Instead, the underlying
experience of intergenerational ambivalence was very similar for mothers and
fathers. From the results presented in this study, mixed emotions seem to be a
natural and normative experience in late life. Older parents experienced
ambivalence on a psychological level. Conflicting inner thoughts and mixed
emotions resulted from everyday interactions and conversations with midlife
children.Graduation date: 2004

Full textAbstract:
Statistics for sexually abused children are high. When children do not receive therapy, they may develop marital problems later in life.
Survivors of sexual abused have difficulty letting other people come close to them. Because emotional and sexual intimacy is important components of a marital relationship, survivors of sexual abused experience conflict within their marriages. Intimacy in the marital relationship reminds them of the abuse situation and they would try to escape from it. If couples do not go through therapeutic intervention, they would have difficulty understanding the changes in their relationship after the marriage. Within a therapeutic environment partners are able to recognise the effects of abuse and are able to learn how to handle it in order to achieve a successful marriage.
The changes in intimacy levels after marriage will be investigated in this study. The study will make recommendations towards professional principles for social workers in practice.Social Work

Este trabalho de investigação propôs-se estudar a relação entre memórias das dinâmicas com as figuras parentais, a posição na fratria e histórias de consumo problemático de álcool nas famílias de origem, dimensões da vinculação adulta e sua inflência na Satisfação Marital.
Os participantes foram 125 casais, constituídos por 125 utentes em tratamento ambulatório na Unidade de Alcoologia do Norte pelo problema de consumo abusivo e de dependência de álcool pelo cônjuge masculino acompanhados pelas respectivas esposas. Os instrumentos aplicados foram os seguintes: um Questionário Sociodemográfico, o Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (Babor et al.,1992), Parental Bonding Instrument (Ramos, Leal & Maroco, 2010), o Questionário de Experiências em Relações Próximas (Moreira et al., 2006) e o Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale (Marques, 2001).
Os resultados do presente trabalho realçam a existência de um número elevado de utentes em tratamento e seus compartes como filhos adultos de alcoólicos, eles como os mais novos das suas fratrias e elas como as primogénitas, numa união conjugal que se regista de longa duração traduzindo uma convivência a dois acima dos 20 anos. As memórias associadas às figuras parentais registam-se intimamente ligadas às características dos sistemas com álcool em que a figura materna assume os vectores de cuidar e hiperproteger na sua globalidade, mas com particular destaque para os filhos mais novos da fratria. A vinculação adulta como uma variável elucidativa com um papel central na compreensão das relações afectivas como a de casal demonstra uma combinação mais prevalente quanto às dimensões dos estilos dominantes - esposa preocupada vs marido evitante assente na qualidade das relações precoces construídas com os principais cuidadores e que traduz diferenças significativas entre eles também em função da figura ser paterna ou materna. Por último registam-se na avaliação do constructo central deste trabalho - a satisfação no relacionamento conjugal destas díades - diferenças na percepção da relação no seu todo, e parcelarmente também quando identificamos determinadas áreas maritais. Estes casamentos apesar de intactos, apresentam os seus elementos com uma vivência diferencial da satisfação se atendermos a que os homens se consideram mais satisfeitos e mais optimistas em relação ao relacionamento conjugal contrariamente às esposas que denotam valores de desagrado e de insatisfação na totalidade das áreas maritais avaliadas. A posição na fratria e a presença de antecedentes familiares de alcoolismo não obtiveram influência significativa na percepção da satisfação no casamento. Relativamente às memórias da ligação materna e à sua atitude de hiper-protecção, apenas para os utentes esta foi considerada um estimador significativo da satisfação marital.Cette recherche s´est proposée d´etudier la relation entre le Mémoires qui décrochent des expériences précoces avec les figures parentales, avec des variables comme la position dans la fratrie et les histoires de consommation problématique d ´alcool dans les familles d´origine, les dimensions de l´attachment adulte et l´influence des adultes dans la Satisfaction Conjugale et dans les zones d´opération de la dyade conjugale. Les participants étaient 125 couples attendus dans l' Unité Ambulatoire d´Alcoologie du Nord, derivé du problème de l'abus d'alcool et de la dépendance à l'alcool par le partenaire masculin et de l'histoire relationnelle avec leurs épouses. Les instruments utilisés ont été les suivants: Questionnaire sociodémographique, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (Babor et al., 1992), Parental Bonding Instrument (Parker, Tupling et Brown, 1979; Ramos, Leal & Maroco, 2010), Experiences in Close Relationships (Moreira et al. (2006) Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale (Marques, 2001). Les résultats de ce travail mettent en rélief l´éxistence d´un nombre trés significatif de personnes qui suivent le traitement ainsi que leurs copartageants comme filles d´alcooliques. Les garçons adultes à présent, etaient les plus jeunes et les filles étaient les ainnées, des familles d´origine. Les pairs ont été constitués depuis 20 ans. Les rapports á leurs parents sont trés fortement liés à une mère remarcable par sa fonction protectionniste en géneral et très particulièrement sur les fils cadets. La liaison adulte en tant que variable elucidative se met en relief la compréhension des rélations afectives comme celle du couple par rapport à une union du tipe ´´epouse préocupée vs mari esquif – basée en des relations précoces construites avec ceux qui les soignent dont résultent des diférances significatives entre eux, en fonction de la figure paternelle ou maternelle. En conclusion on régiste l´évaluation de ce travail dans les relations optimisées des conjuges en partie diverses mais, quand on identifie des diverses surfaces maritaux et les mariages , ils présentent des differentes significatives de satisfation – les maris plus satisfaits et plus optimistes et les femmes plus insatisfaites et péssimistes. La posicion dans la fratrie et l´alcoolisme pré-existant dans la famille n´ont pas eu de significatif poids dans la perception du bon rélacionement marital. Dans ce qui concerne les mémoires de liaison maternelle et son attitude d´hiper-protection, seulement les a été considerée significative de satisfation marital par les patients.
This research proposes to study the relationship between Memories derived from Early Experiences with Parental Figures, and variables such as position within phatry and stories of problematic alcohol in families of origin, dimensions of adult attachment and influence on adult marital satisfaction and in operational areas of the marital dyad. The participants were 125 couples evaluated in the outpatient North Alcohology Unit because of abusive alcohol problem and alcohol dependence by the male partner and relational history with their wives. The instruments used were the Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (Babor et al., 1992), the Parental Bonding Instrument (Ramos, Leal & Maroco, 2010), the Experiences in Close Relationships (Moreira et al., 2006) and the ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale (Marques, 2001). In this study it is possible to regroup a high number of treated patients and their spouses as adult children of alcoholics: males represent the youngest of their phratry and females are seen as the firstborns, living with their partners a long-term relationship, over 20 years of conjugal experience. Their parents-related memories are strongly correlated with the features of an alcohol dynamic system, with the maternal figure being globally protective and caretaker towards their younger sons. The comprehension of affective relationships as well as marital ones was based in the analysis of adult bonds, mostly these dominant styles – worried wife VS. avoidant husband. This expressive bond between patients and their caretakers are quite different whether these figure is a male or female. Finally, this study showed important gender-related changes on marital satisfaction that are seen because of couples’ different perceptions about certain conjugal subjects: males were more confident about their relationship’s future but their wives showed more unhappiness and weren´t that optimistic about the same topics. There was no significant correlation between marital satisfaction and some parameters such as the position of the phratry and family history of alcoholism. There is some association between marital satisfaction, patient´s maternal-related memories and their hiper-protective conduct.

Rebelliousness is the act of defying lawful authority or a resistant way of relating to authority.
It is seen by many as a normal way of development.
The development of rebellious behavior actually starts in childhood and progresses through
to adulthood.
The study focuses on the manner in which the family and school handle the rebellious child and the negative effects that these have on the child's development. These problems may manifest in truancy, delinquency, negativism, runaway, antisocial behavior, alcohol and substance abuse and gang involvement.
The results of the study prove that the environment in which the adolescent lives, contribute greatly to the development and the maintenance of rebellious
behavior.
Guidelines were written for parents, teachers and psychologists regarding the handling of the
rebellious child.Psychology of Education
