Full text64 familles d'enfants en âge préscolaire, atteints ou non de déficiences développementales, ont été examinées dans la région de Bio-Bio au Chili, en Amérique du Sud, pour déterminer les relations entre style parental, choix fournis aux enfants et perception de la qualité de la vie de famille. Le processus de choix des jeunes enfants âgés de 19 à 59 mois, avec ou sans déficiences développementales (DD), a été évalué ainsi que le style parental en application dans leur famille et la qualité de vie de la famille. La capacité d'auto-détermination a été définie comme le nombre de décisions que les enfants ont été capables de faire dans leur vie quotidienne, tandis que la qualité de vie de la famille a été définie selon l'appréciation des parents quant à leur vie familiale. Les parents ont rempli des questionnaires identifiant leur style parental comme étant soit démocratiques ou directifs (niveaux de structure, contrôle et affection élevés), autoritaire (niveaux de structure et de contrôle élevé et niveau d'affection faible), ou permissif (niveaux de structure et contrôle faible et niveau d'affection élevé), ainsi que les choix proposés à leurs enfants et leur perception de satisfaction quant à leur vie de famille. Des corrélations entre les mesures et plusieurs régressions hiérarchiques ont révélées que, si le style parental n'était pas relié au processus de décision, il était lié à la perception parentale de la qualité de vie familiale. D'un point de vue professionnel, cela implique un travail nécessaire avec les parents pour mettre en place des interventions culturellement adaptées qui encouragent l'auto-détermination pour de jeunes enfants atteints de déficience.

Full textToday's society requires that each individual has to take decisions on all the choices that we face. When it comes to choices that either benefit or disadvantage our health the possibilities are endless. As a result of this there is a large part of the population that has increased in weight and might need help in making lifestyle changes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that may have influenced and motivated the choice of going through a gastric bypass surgery, and to discern which changes following that kind of lifestyle change. Semi-structured interviews with the four participants were conducted, data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The result was partitioned into three main categories: Life before surgery, Factors that influenced and motivated to choose gastric bypass and Life after surgery. The findings displayed that the participants were motivated by their concern for the future health and their hopes for a changed future, the findings also showed that their choice was influenced by the surroundings. The surgery led to an improvement in mood and social life as well as an increase in quality of life for the participants.

Full textOlder people make up an increasing proportion of the population which makes research on successful aging more relevant. Several studies show negative health consequences when regretting the past and that the experience of coming to terms have positive effects on well-being. Although, little is known about how older people come to terms with life choices. This study aimed to contribute with a nuanced picture of how people over the age of 65 relate to life choices and their consequences, and how elderly people come to terms with life. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 participants. The material was analyzed based on inductive thematic analysis, resulting in four main themes and 12 subthemes. The main themes Positivity, Acceptance and Independence involve three different approaches to life choices. Social context highlights the social impact on life choices and how community and being important to others contributes to well-being and purpose in life. The broader definition of life choices and the positive focus of this study contributes to a more nuanced picture of older peoples view on life choices in multiple areas. The result shows that the experience of coming to terms with life not necessarily can be equated with being satisfied, and that how people relate to life choices and its consequences becomes more important than the actual outcome of the choice itself. Elderly people who seeks treatment for dealing with negative emotions related to aging and life reminiscence may need different interventions depending on how they relate to life choices.

The study's objective was to provide understanding of the role of context in the moral choice process of athletes. Study participants included twelve (12) Division I intercollegiate varsity athletes, six male and six female lacrosse and soccer participants. Each respondent provided two narratives, one daily life and one sport-centered, describing an experience where they were forced to make a moral choice. The structure of the narratives, depicted by the presence, predominance, and alignment (Brown et al., 1989) of the three dimensions of lived moral experience (Tappan, 1990, 1997), the cognitive, affective, and conative, was compared across contextual lines through the use of the McNemar chi-square test to uncover the statistical significance ofthe relationship between the correlated dichotomous variables of context and structure. A statistically significant divergence in the structure of moral narratives did not exist between the sport and daily life context, or, the variables of context and structure were independent, thus affirming the null hypothesis. Therefore, the dilemma context did not determine how an individual made a moral choice, thus disputing previously published findings that used an alternate methodology (Bredemeier and Shields, 1984; Bredemeier, 1995). Three dilemma types emerged - rules-centered, personal choice-centered, and honesty-centered - and the relationship to narrative structure was examined to explore the moral choice process. Rules-centered narratives pointed to bracketed morality (Bredemeier and Shields, 1984; Bredemeier, 1995; Shields and Bredemeier, 1995), suggesting an "action without consequence" environment. Bracketed morality narratives did not fall along contextual lines, but did trigger a decision-making process infused with self-centeredness, indifference, a sense of invincibility, and a disregard for authority and rules. Findings were discussed in terms of bracketed morality (Bredemeier and Shields, 1984; Bredemeier, 1995; Shields and Bredemeier, 1995) and social cognitive learning theory of moral development (Bandura, 1991 ), the role of authorship (Tappan and Brown, 1989) in determining moral action, the collection of real-life moral narratives (Gilligan and Attanucci, 1988) versus hypothetical moral dilemmas (Bredemeier and Shields, 1984; Bredemeier, 1995), and the role of an initiation into the sport ethos (Arnold, 1994).
