Robles, Renard Tatsuya. "Humility in Interpersonal Relationships." Thesis, Umeå universitet, Institutionen för idé- och samhällsstudier, 2019. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-162368.

Abstract:

This paper aims to establish a conception of humility which can be of use in nurturing interpersonal relationships of intrinsic value. The conception of humility asserted herein is a doxastic one that demands that an individual make an as-accurate-as-possible estimation of her knowledge, merits, and accomplishments in relation to others, in relation to the totality of knowledge, merits, and accomplishments, both actual and possible, of humankind, and in relation to an ideal. This paper asserts that humility consists of both a cognitive and an attitudinal component. The necessary cognitive component is an acknowledgment of the presence of great unknowable mysteries at play in every situation and every interaction between persons, which is further specified as the acknowledgment of the unknowability of the inner lives and consciousnesses of others. It is asserted that the attitudinal component of humility must result from the cognitive component and consists in keeping this acknowledgment consciously in mind in interactions in personal relationships and adopting actions and responses to others which are congruent with this acknowledgement. The conception of humility advocated in this paper takes points from the traditional Jewish conception of humility as presented by Daniel M. Nelson, a later account as formulated by the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber as well the more recent accounts of humility asserted by André Comte-Sponville, Julia Driver, G. Alex Sinha, J.L.A Garcia and Aaron Ben-Ze’ev.

Abstract:

People interact with each other through natural language to express feelings, thoughts, intentions, instructions etc. These interactions as a result form relationships. Besides names of relationships like siblings, spouse, friends etc., a number of dimensions (e.g. cooperative vs. competitive, temporary vs. enduring, equal vs. hierarchical etc.) can also be used to capture the underlying properties of interpersonal interactions and relationships. More fine-grained descriptors (e.g. angry, rude, nice, supportive etc.) can also be used to indicate the reasons or social-acts behind the dimension cooperative vs. competitive. The way people interact with others may also tell us about their personal traits, which in turn may be indicative of their probable success in their future. The works presented in the dissertation involve creating corpora with fine-grained descriptors of interactions and relationships. We also described experiments and their results that indicated that the processes of identifying the dimensions can be automated.

Abstract:

An increasing evidence base is evolving which attempts to understand the consequences of the deployment of military troops to war zones and what may mediate these. Chapter one critically appraises the literature examining the link between secure attachment style classification, the dimensions of attachment anxiety and avoidance and operational stress injury. The results indicate that the reviewed articles used a variety of attachment measures, including discourse and self-report measures, which produce different results about the relationship between adult attachment and operational stress injury. The methodological limitations of the studies and implications of these findings for psychological therapies are discussed. Suggestions for future research are made, including longitudinal studies which measure attachment and mental health prior to deployment, and whether certain personality variables mediate the relationship between attachment and operational stress injury. Chapter two presents a qualitative analysis of the experiences of and roles played by the partners of military personnel receiving care for operationally-attributed mental health difficulties. Similar research has been carried out internationally, but as far as the author is aware British military partners had not been investigated. Grounded theory analysis of semi-structured interviews led to the development of a theoretical model, which explains the effect of operational events on service members and their partners, and the ways adopted to manage these. It is suggested that enhanced understanding of this process, aided by communication and services, helps to dissipate the couples’ distress, although barriers to communication and services were identified. Results are discussed in accordance with existing literature. Implications for service provision to deliver information and support for partners, and ideas for future research which tests the effects of partners receiving these, are made. Chapter three is a reflective paper based upon the thoughts, opinions and experiences the author had whilst carrying out the literature review and empirical research.

Abstract:

This research investigates how people use popular music, particularly wedding songs, to communicate. Participants were gathered at a bridal expo who either "Have a Wedding Song" or have "Witnessed a Wedding Song". Results indicate that people do indeed communicate using music. Interpersonal partners have a wedding song because a wedding song is symbolic, tradition, expresses feelings, important, and romantic. Couples chose a particular song for their wedding because the appointed song expresses the couple's feelings, has sentimental value, is representative of the relationship, has meaningful lyrics, and sounds good. The most important messages communicated in a song were: "I love you", "I want to be with you", and "I want everyone to know how I feel". The most important emotions were: "Love", "Warmth", and "Happiness". Finally, wedding partners generally communicate to their partner or to both their partner and the audience. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:

The current study aimed to consider the application of the cognitive-interpersonal framework (Safran, 1990a, 1990b) to further the understanding of eating disorders, by exploring interpersonal schemas of individuals with and without eating disorders. Three groups of females (non-dieters, dieters and clinical eating disorders) were recruited to participate in the study and aimed to reflect a proposed spectrum of eating distress. Individuals completed the Interpersonal Schema Questionnaire, (ISQ; Hill and Safran, 1994) which assessed expectations about how significant others would respond in certain situations. The current study employed a Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) to explore differnces in interpersonal schemas between the three groups. Results indicated that individuals with eating disorders differed from non eating-disordered individuals on the type of responses expected from significant others, the degree of complementarity within those responses and how desirable they experienced those responses. Overall, individuals with eating disorders presented with 'hostile' interpersonal schemas indicating that they expected more hostility from others in a variety of situations. Results are discussed within a cognitive-interpersonal framework (Safran, 1990a, 1990b). It appeared that individuals with eating disorders were 'stuck' in unhelpful ways of relating that were reinforced through `hostile' interpersonal schemas. It is suggested that individuals may regenerate their eating disorders through such perpetuating cognitive-interpersonal cycles. The current study strengthens the argument for the combination of cognitive and interpersonal theories to enhance the effectiveness of the assessment and treatment of eating disorders. Additionally, results invite further research on interpersonal cognition and the role of such in eating disorders.

Morrison, Paul Anthony. "The meaning of caring interpersonal relationships in nursing." Thesis, Sheffield Hallam University, 1991. http://shura.shu.ac.uk/3132/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores nurses' and patients' perceptions of caring relationships in a hospital context. An attempt is made to discover the meaning these caring relationships have for the nurses who provide care and for the patients who participate in this process. The nurses enter into the caring relationship as voluntary and professional participants. The patients come into hospital because of illness. The relationship entered into is claimed to be a caring relationship yet little is known about the personal experiences of the participants. In the first part of the study the repertory grid technique was used to structure interviews with 25 experienced nurses. Personal constructs were elicited and rated during the interviews. Six major themes emerged from a content analysis of the constructs. These were: personal qualities, clinical work style, interpersonal approach, level of motivation, concern for others, and use of time. The personal cost of caring for the nurses surfaced as a significant aspect of the caring relationship. In the second part of the study 10 nurses and 10 hospitalised patients were interviewed. These were analysed by means of a method grounded in interpretive phenomenology which focuses on the informants' lived experiences. Nine general themes emerged which captured the nurses' experiences of caring relationships. The themes were: patient dependency, patient circumstances, effectiveness, emotional involvement, stress, preparedness, ward constraints, role uncertainty, and personal benefits. The patients' experiences of being cared for were embodied in four general themes quite different from the nurses. The themes were: vulnerability, self-presentation, service evaluation, and other concerns. The thesis provides many details about the perceptions of caring relationships through the exploration of the lived experiences of nurses and patients in hospital. An extended picture of caring relationships in nursing has emerged. The need to take account of both the professional and consumer perspective is emphasised as it highlights important discrepancies between the views of carers and those they care for. Professional carers must be able to understand the patient in order to care in a personalised way and the approach used here demonstrates how this understanding can be achieved. Such an approach could also be used in nursing practice. The findings and methods used here should also be of interest to other helping professions and consumers of health care.

Abstract:

Research indicates that determinants such as commitment, communication and attachment facilitate long-term marriages. The present study seeks to understand these and other possible determinants that facilitate enduring relationships. Furthermore, the research focuses exclusively on the determinants that males believe facilitate long-term relationships. Bader and Pearson's transposition of Mahler's Model of Separation Individuation onto adult relationships was used as a theoretical point of departure. Bader and Pearson posit that couples evolve through stages which resemble Mahler's Model of Childhood Development. A qualitative approach using semistructured interviews aided in creating a non-threatening environment whilst collecting data. Purposive non-random sampling was used to identify participants and thereafter participants were obtained via snowball sampling. Tesch's thematic analysis was used to analyse results. The research findings highlight the understanding of what determinants males deem essential to facilitate long-term relationships.

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis describes a program of research that investigated whether women's perceptions of intergroup conflict between men and women impact upon their interpersonal relationships with men. A series of three studies focus on two groups of women: women who perceive a high amount of gender-based discrimination and women who perceive relatively little gender-based discrimination. Unexpectedly, despite significant differences between the two groups in terms of their social indentities as women and their gender ideologies, there were no differences between them with respect to the nature and extent of their work, platonic, and intimate relationships with men. Two psychological mechanisms that may enable a woman to prevent perceptions of intergroup discrimination from impacting upon her intimate relationships are examined: the exceptional case and dissociative mechanisms. Although no support was found for the dissociative mechanism, strong support was found for the exceptional case mechanism. Women who perceive a high amount of discrimination, compared to those who perceived relatively little, are more likely to view their partners as exceptional in terms of their support of women's issues. Moreover, it was demonstrated in Study 3 that the male partners of these women are actually exceptional in terms of their support, as well as their negotiation, of women's issues.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine romantic relationships that began through face-to-face (FtF) interaction or computer-mediated communication (CMC). Two hundred seventy-six participants who were currently in romantic relationships that began in person (196) or online (80) completed an online questionnaire. The study explored several relational variables (relationship satisfaction, intimacy, trust, communication satisfaction, physical attraction) and tested for differences in the two types of relationships; however, the data were not consistent with the hypotheses and research questions. Post-hoc tests revealed that sample characteristics (including sex, exclusivity of relationships, same/opposite sex relationships, and length of relationships) accounted for several differences when tested with the relational variables. Finally, the study sought to find which of these variables related to relationship satisfaction in relationships that began FtF and online. Trust and communication satisfaction significantly predicted relationship satisfaction in relationships that began FtF, and physical attraction and communication satisfaction significantly predicted relationship satisfaction in relationships that began online.

Abstract:

Research suggests that interpersonal difficulties are reported by those who experience grandiose beliefs, however the processes and the relationship with the belief have seen limited exploration and are poorly understood. The present study aimed to explore the perceptions of interpersonal relationships and self-esteem of people who have grandiose beliefs and to explore if these accounts are consistent with existing theory. A qualitative design was employed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to explore participants' subjective understanding of experiences. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with eight individuals who were purposively sampled. Transcripts were analysed using IPA. Four superordinate themes emerged: ‘Others as disregarding’; ‘Fragile sense of self’; ‘Lost in a frightening world’ and ‘Surviving’. The study found that participants' accounts were characterised by difficult interpersonal relationships in both early and adult life. The participants' sense of self was complex and lacking in coherence, thus previously used measures of “self-esteem” may not adequately capture the subtleties of the experiences. The sense of self was set in a social context characterised by feelings of powerlessness isolation and lack of trust. In the context of limited resources the results suggest the beliefs function to make sense of experiences and to help the participants survive. These findings confirm that the belief may, in part, serve to protect participants from poor “social self-esteem”. These findings provide avenues to further exploration of processes and provide recommendations for clinicians and services.

Thesis (MEdPsych (Educational Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2004.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: My study aims to ascertain whether interpersonal staff relationships have a role to play in the healthy development of a school as an organisation. My specific focus is on how educators experience these relationships, and how they impact on the educators' commitment to a particular school. My research design consisted of three case studies. I used a semi-structured questionnaire with each case and at a later date had a group discussion. My analysis of the questionnaires' data provided tentative themes for inclusion and further exploration in the group discussion. The combination of two data production phases resulted in the confirmation and expansion of the data. My study shows that various factors impact on interpersonal staff relationships within a school. These interpersonal staff relationships have a bearing on the continuance, moral and alienative dimensions of commitment, and impact on staff retention and job performance. They also impact directly on the health of the educators. Thus interpersonal staff relationships would seem to have an important role to play in the development of healthy schools. I conclude by acknowledging the limitations of this study, and recommending further research.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to determine if it is possible to establish a relationship between childhood experiences of incestuous abuse and specific problems in functioning and in interpersonal relationships as an adult. Since incest occurs in families where other dysfunctional features are present, it is usually difficult to separate the different influences on the individual in their family of origin and how they are affected later in life. A single subject was studied using material from audiotaped counselling sessions over a five month period. The contents of the tapes were analysed to see if the client was dealing with difficulties in interpersonal relationships, and if so, how the incest experience might be related to these problems. The study was augmented by audiotaped interviews with five counsellors who work in the sexual abuse field to ascertain their views on the implications of incest abuse on development and its relationship to problems in adult functioning. The study was viewed from a developmental perspective and the stages of trust, identity formation and intimacy were identified as stages of development that were adversely affected by the incestuous abuse. The results of the interviews with the counsellors supported these findings. The findings from the study were also examined by reference to psychoanalytic, loss and feminist perspectives on the nature of the developmental problems the subject encountered. It was found that it was possible to identify specific areas where the incest experiences were seriously affecting the adult survivor, especially in the areas of sexual dysfunction and problems in forming intimate relationships. Other features of the family dynamic were also identified as significant especially the difficulty the subject had in resolving problems in her relationship to her father and stepfather as well as residual feelings of ambivalence in her relationship with her mother. Recommendations were made concerning the need for more research in the area of sexual abuse and the need for many more treatment resources to meet the needs of abuse survivors.

Abstract:

This thesis examined student-participants' self-reported use of romantic relational maintenance strategies and their partners' reports of relational satisfaction. Additionally, individuals outside the romantic relationship reported on student-participants' general communicator style. The research proposed that general style reports would be predictive of relational maintenance strategy usage and of romantic partners' relational satisfaction. The study found that general style behaviors may not be indicative of relational maintenance strategy usage or romantic partners' relational satisfaction. Tests of sex differences revealed that females' expression of various relational maintenance strategies and style behaviors are associated with male partners' relational satisfaction; however, no results were obtained indicating specific behaviors expressed by males result in female partners' relational satisfaction.

Full text

Abstract:

Researchers explored the relationship among adolescent self-reported amounts of texting and self-esteem, self-construal, autonomy, and attachment. Data were collected from a high school in an urban area in the Mountain West. Participants included 180 students (53% female). Participants were asked to self-describe their volume of texting as high, medium, or low. Participants were also asked to complete the following scales: Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Self-Construal Scale, the Case Inventory, The Adolescent Autonomy Questionnaire, and The Modified Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment. It is suggested that text messaging is more strongly related to self-esteem when texting is placed as the dependent variable for both males and females. Results showed that this was the pattern for each variable in question. Results also showed that Cognitive Autonomy mean scores were lower for females on four out of the five subscales of the autonomy measure. This finding was opposite from the mean scores of attachment, which revealed that females tend to have higher parental attachment scores than males.

Abstract:

The research aims to investigate why firm’s employees cultivate interpersonal relationships with their customers, and identify the drivers for their relational behaviours. In the preliminary study, two performance-based defence equipment provision contracts were investigated in an attempt to understand the role of interpersonal relationships between individual service providers and customers in a maintenance, repair and overhaul environment where firms need to deliver outcomes jointly with the customer. Through two years of field work using in-depth interviews, the study uncovered two types of interpersonal relationships between service providers and customers; exchange and communal. Both strongly promoted cooperation at the individual level. In exchange relationships, service providers and customers cooperated reciprocally whilst in communal relationships, they shared a common group identity and cooperated communally towards the attainment of group goals. Specifically, individuals’ perceived reciprocity from the customer and communal orientation have been identified as drivers for relationship development. The relationship drivers were discovered through qualitative data and were matched with extant academic literature, after which several hypotheses and a measurement instrument were developed. The hypotheses and instrument were then validated through a quantitative study using exploratory factor analysis and regression analysis. Data was collected from a sample consisting of 224 Chinese salespeople dealing with business customers in manufacturing as well as service industries. The findings were used to develop a theoretical framework which showed that cognition (e.g. perceived consequences), affect (e.g. liking) and specific personality traits (e.g. communal orientation) were drivers for relational behaviours. In particular, communal orientation, perceived reciprocity from the customer, and a liking for the customer positively affected relational behaviours, while exchange orientation had a negative impact on those behaviours. This research provides a generic theoretical model of firm’s employees’ relational behaviours in the service provision and marketing context, filling in the gaps found in previous relationship marketing research by studying relationship drivers for individual-level customer relationships.

Abstract:

Interpersonal relationships play an important role in our sense of self and satisfaction with our lives. Literature suggests that people who have learning disabilities have limited opportunities to make and maintain interpersonal relationships; however few studies have questioned how this situation has developed and how it may be maintained. In addition much research has largely excluded first-hand accounts of people who have learning disabilities. In this study I interviewed staff and service-users at a centre which provided day services to people with learning disabilities, about interpersonal relationships. I analysed the data using discourse analysis. Drawing on this data I argue that dominant discourses which view people who have learning disabilities as being 'childlike' and/or qualitatively different to those who do not have learning disabilities, supported constructions of relationships that worked to limit the power and opportunities of service-users. These constructions were influenced by historical ideas about relationships and about people who have learning disabilities, which continue to influence service-provision through social and political pressures. Participants also however drew on alternative discourses, and alternative ways in which relationships could be constructed. These constructions emphasised reciprocity and enabled service-users to engage in relationships in which power was more equally distributed. The existence of these alternatives offers hope for a different way of understanding relationships, where one or more person has a learning disability. I discuss these findings with reference to the wider literature and argue that learning disability services must engage in a process of critically questioning taken-forgranted 'truths', if they are to circumvent the influence of disempowering discourses and open up opportunities for more empowering practices.

CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO
O contexto empresarial atual, composto por mudanças e desafios cada vez mais velozes, leva as empresas a adaptar suas atividades às exigências impostas pelo mercado. O mais difícil, e ao mesmo tempo, a questão central da aprendizagem, é não limitar a mudança organizacional a uma visão estritamente instrumental das pessoas no trabalho. A aprendizagem, além de propiciar as adaptações necessárias no cotidiano, propicia também a mudança transformadora nas organizações, ampliando sua capacidade criativa e inovadora. A pedagogia, a psicologia e a biologia do conhecimento consideram os relacionamentos interpessoais como importantes partícipes do processo de aprendizagem. Os estudos sobre empresas do projeto de Economia de Comunhão, apontam que as formas como são conduzidos os relacionamentos interpessoais e interorganizacionais constituem um de seus diferenciais competitivos. Esta pesquisa estuda a qualidade dos relacionamentos interpessoais envolvidos em uma organização empresarial de Economia de Comunhão, buscando compreender de que forma eles facilitam ou dificultam os processos de aprendizagem organizacional. Sua conclusão confirma que a qualidade dos relacionamentos interpessoais favorece a aprendizagem de tarefas e comportamentos na empresa estudada.
The current entrepreneurial context, made up of ever quicker changes and challenges, leads companies to adapt their activities to the requirements imposed by the market. The most difficult, and at the same time the main point of learning, is not to limit the organizational changes to a strictly instrumental view of people at work. Learning, besides propitiating the necessary adaptations to the daily life, also propitiates a transforming change in the organizations, extending their creativity and innovative capacity. In the areas of Pedagogy, Psychology and Cognitive Biology, the interpersonal relationships are considered important participants in the learning process. The studies on companies from the Communion Economy project show that the way the interpersonal and interorganizational relationships are led make up one of their distinctive competitive features. In this research, the quality of the interpersonal relationships in an Communion Economy enterprise organization are studied, attempting to understand how they might ease or hamper the processes of organizational learning. Its conclusion confirms that the quality of the interpersonal relationships favors the learning of tasks and behaviors in the company which was the subject of the study.

Abstract:

This study explored an individual's need for control and the level of violence within a dating relationship. This was a self-report study. Subjects consisted of 175 students from a university in the southern Appalachian region of the U.S. Questionnaires were combined with a scenario depicting violent behavior. Subjects were asked to rate their level of control on the Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Inventory (FIRO-B), to complete the Conflict Tactics Scale - revised (CTS-2), and to rate the acceptability of the scenario. Data were analyzed using an ANOVA. Results did not support the main hypothesis. No relationship was found between control and violent behavior, or between men and women and their expression of control. There was no connection between violence and level of expressed control. Men showed more approval for violence than women. Individuals with higher levels of expressed control were more accepting of violence than others without the need to control.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigated the correlation between sexual beliefs, as well as the interpersonal perception of sexual beliefs within a marriage, and the dyadic adjustment and sexual satisfaction. Participants were 38 couples, married less than 10 years. Each participant completed the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale, Index of Sexual Satisfaction and the Sexual Irrationality Questionnaire. Each participant was also requested to complete the latter questionnaire as he/she would expect hislher partner to complete it. A significant relationship was found between sexual satisfaction and dyadic adjustment, as well as between spouses' sexual beliefs and their perceptions of their partners' sexual beliefs. No support was found for the hypotheses that the interpersonal perception of sexual beliefs would correlate with either sexual satisfaction or marital adjustment.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie studie is die verband tussen seksuele kognisies, sowel as die interpersoonlike persepsie van seksuele kognisies binne huweliksverband, en huweliksaanpassing en seksuele satisfaksie nagegaan. Deelnemers aan die ondersoek was 38 pare wat korter as 10 jaar getroud was. Hulle het elkeen die Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale, Index of Sexual Satisfaction en die Sexual Irrationality Questionnaire voltooi. Elke deelnemer moes laasgenoemde vraelys ook voltooi soos hy/sy verwag het sy/haar huweliksmaat dit sou voltooi. 'n Beduidende verband is tussen seksuele satisfaksie en huweliksaanpassing gevind, asook tussen egliede se eie seksuele kognisies en hulle beoordelings van hulle huweliksmaats se seksuele kognisies. Geen ondersteuning kon in die hipotese gevind word aan die interpersoonlike persepsie van seksuele kognisies met óf seksuele satisfaksie óf huweliksaanpassing verband sou hou nie.
