Consequences of an abusive system and possibilities of breaking the cycle

The totalitarian system in Romania survived for 45 years through generalized and repeated cycles of physical and mental abuse directed towards the population as a whole. Today's parents show all the signs of abuse, from denial, minimizing, rationalizing and selective memory to anger, fear and shame. They are also experiencing the aftereffects of abuse, such as suspicion, resentment, hopelessness, low self-esteem and the tendency to continue the abusive cycle. The parents and educators, who represent the essential part of a child's small universe and who should be able to shelter them from the effects of economic depression and lack of certitude and security which characterize the transition period, have all been victims of abuse. The abusive cycle is difficult to break, because one of the ways of survival and self-protection during the past communist regime was acceptance, compliance and lack of change. The paper presents some of the positive steps which could break the abusive cycle, such as: confession, physical and mental separation from the past, designating the guilty and a positive attitude towards oneself and towards society. These steps could help the adult to handle more easily the sad realities of the transition period and to reduce the impact of its unhealthy climate on children.     

Adult children of parents with mental illness: Family stigma and coping on sense of self

Family stigma is associated with persistent negative outcomes among adult children of parents with mental illness (ACOPMI). Loss of sense of self has been reported by ACOPMI; however, the role of family stigma on sense of self remains unclear. Additionally, research suggests coping behaviour (i.e. adaptive or maladaptive) influences the effect of stigmatization on sense of self. This study investigated the impact of family stigma and coping on sense of self among ACOPMI (N = 134, 63.4% female). As hypothesized, high family stigma was associated with weak sense of self (p < 0.001), and ACOPMI who endorsed adaptive coping demonstrated higher sense of self than those who coped maladaptively (p < 0.001). Further, coping moderated the relationship between family stigma and sense of self (p < 0.001). Unexpectedly, this relationship was only significant for ACOPMI with adaptive coping skills (p < 0.001). At higher levels of stigmatization, post hoc analysis revealed coping styles did not exert an influence on sense of self. Results suggest family stigma contributes to loss of sense of self among ACOPMI, with adaptive coping being protective only at lower levels of family stigma. Findings highlight the need for a systemic approach to eradicate family stigma.

长沙东牌楼东汉简牍《光和六年自相和从书》研究

长沙东牌楼所出东汉简牍《光和六年自相和从书》是有关亲属间诤田并最终达成和解的文书案卷,在一定程度上展示了当时民事诉讼与和解的实态,学界在对此文书的文本解读方面颇有分歧。但从该文书的结构和内容来看,本文书应该与"列言"文书相类;原释文存疑的"娨(?)取"之"娨"字,应是"娉"字,"娉取"即"聘娶";李升的身份为"民",而非"赘婿"。     

对特殊儿童家长参与学校教育的思考

特殊儿童家长参与学校教育是现代特殊教育的重要议题之一。与世界发达国家相比 ,我国特殊儿童的家长参与学校教育的问题在理论和实践上都还显得很不深入。以笔者的第一手研究材料为基础 ,参照西方学者关于“参与模式”、“家长需求”、“家长角色”和“家长的心理压力”的理论论述 ,对“家长参与”这一世界性的重要议题可以进行切合实际的探讨和思考 ,并由此提出了促进家长参与的几项策略。

中学生学习策略与父母教养方式的关系研究

用中学生学习策略问卷、父母教养方式问卷对323名中学生进行问卷调查。结果发现:(1)中学生学习策略不存在性别差异。中学生在认知策略上存在显著的阶段差异,初中生在认知策略方面比高中生强。(2)父母教养方式在过分干涉维度上存在显著的性别差异,父母亲对男生过多干涉和限制。(3)父母的情感温暖、理解有利于中学生学习策略的形成和发展,而父母惩罚严厉、拒绝否认的消极教养方式均不利于中学生学习策略的形成和发展。(4)父亲教养方式比母亲教养方式对中学生学习策略的影响大。(5)父亲教养方式对中学生动机策略的影响大于母亲,而母亲教养方式对中学生元认知策略的影响大于父亲。

Risk and Resiliency Factors Among Adolescents Who Experience Marital Transitions

Using a resiliency framework, we examined familial and extrafamilial factors associated with adolescent well‐being in intact, blended, and divorced single‐parent families. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted using a large sample of 7th‐, 9th‐, and 11th‐grade adolescents (N= 2,011) to test the moderating effect of peer support, school attachment, and neighbor support when parental support and monitoring were low. Significant two‐ and three‐way interactions were probed. Findings indicate that divorced and blended families have some of the same forms of resiliency as intact families. For adolescents in a divorced single‐parent family, peer support moderated the effect of low parental support on internalizing symptoms. We discuss the merits of examining divorce from a resiliency perspective.
