Differences in family climate and family communication among cyberbullies, cybervictims, and cyber bully–victims in adolescents
2017
Abstract Scientific studies on family factors related to the main cyberbullying roles are still scarce. The present study analyzed family climate and parent–adolescent communication in the four roles involved in cyberbullying: cybervictims, cyberbullies, cyberbully–victims, and non–involved adolescents. The study had two main objectives: (1) to analyze the differences in family climate (cohesion and conflict) and communication patterns with the mother and father (open, avoidance, and offensive) among the four roles, controlling the variables sex and academic grade; and (2) to determine the predictive weight of these family variables in the roles involved in cyberbullying. A battery of instr…
Communication between mothers and their normal or developmentally dysphasic children in experimental sessions
1991
The interaction of 32 Finnish mother-child dyads were analyzed in order to compare the behavioral features of normally developing (8 boys, 8 girls) and developmentally dysphasic (language-delayed) children (12 boys, 4 girls) doing tasks with their mothers. The average age of the children in the normal group was 4:1 years and in dysphasic group 4:7 years. The groups were matched to educational background of the mothers and to the age of the children. The videotaped observation sessions consisted of a block construction task and a discussion task. Results showed that mothers of dysphasic children tended to be more dominant and controlling and less cooperative. The dysphasic childrens' lower l…
Parents' role in adolescents' decision on a college major: A weekly diary study
2011
Abstract This study examined 39 adolescents during their transition to university. In standardized weekly diaries over several weeks (M = 8.13) adolescents reported on engagement in career exploration (in-breadth and in-depth self and environmental exploration), their parents' transition-related involvement (frequency of conversations, support, and interference), and their satisfaction with how the transition progressed. The results showed that exploration largely fluctuated across weeks, whereas parent involvement was more stable. Family members' engagement varied according to the phase of the application process the adolescent was involved in. The more adolescents explored during a given …
