“I married because ...”
Examining the intersection between marriage, perceived maturity and child marriage
Child marriage is a widespread global phenomenon that is prevalent in many developing countries including Ghana. The practice of child marriage has its roots in how marriage, adolescence and readiness for marriage are construed in practising communities. This study presents the views of community elders towards the practice and examines constructions of marriage and maturity and their influence on child marriage. Data were collected from seven el…
Working with Married Girls
Validating the adaptation of the first career measure in isiXhosa
South African career counselling practices have predominantly been informed by vocational theories and models developed in the United States and Europe. In view of South Africa’s peculiar history and its unique cultural and linguistic environment, the indiscriminate application of Western career models has become increasingly contentious, as the majority of these models fail to account for culture-specific values that influence an individual’s ca…
Phenomenography — an avant-garde approach to extend the psychology methodological repertoire
Phenomenography was initially developed as a qualitative response to the limitations of quantitative approaches to higher education research. Following on its success in deepening understanding of higher education and improving teaching and learning strategies, phenomenography has been applied in research in various fields, including nursing, health care, human resource and business management, physiotherapy, psychiatric care, guidance and career…
A phenomenographic study of factors leading to variation in the experience of a school-based wilderness experiential programme
Adventure programming provides an exemplar for interventions through which adolescents may experience holistic development, interdependence, competence, and learn to model pro-social values. This study used a phenomenographic methodology to investigate the different ways in which a sample of 37 adolescents experienced a 27-day school-based wilderness adventure programme and identify aspects of the programme that were critical to variation in prog…
A psychoeducational approach for prevention of burnout among teachers dealing with HIV/Aids in South Africa
Teaching is one of the most stressful occupations, with high stress and burnout levels of teachers necessitating intervention. This is especially relevant for South African teachers tasked with additional responsibilities of dealing with HIV/AIDS issues, as well as attending to normal curricula duties. A burnout prevention intervention, based on Paulo Freire's adult educational approach, using transpersonal psychology techniques, was introduced t…
The impact of a career intervention programme on South African Grade 11 learners’ career decision-making self-efficacy
There have been increasing calls for career development interventions that take the local context into account while providing a firm theoretical basis to engage with the career processes and attributes of individuals coming from diverse backgrounds. The goal of this study was to determine the effect of a career intervention programme derived from Social Cognitive Career Theory on the career decision-making self-efficacy of Grade 11 learners at t…
Can evolutionary insights into the brain’s response to threat suggest different group interventions for perceived stress and burnout of teachers in high-risk schools
Evolutionary brain responses to threat suggested three psychoeducational group interventions for perceived stress and burnout reduction. The interventions were based on trauma release exercises for primal brain response, transpersonal psychology for paleomammalian emotional brain functions, and transactional analysis for neomammalian cognitive brain insights. In total, 43 teachers in high-risk schools on the Cape Flats, Western Cape, South Africa…
Community‐based Participatory Research as a Critical Enactment of Community Psychology
South Africa's history of colonization, expressed particularly through the violent system of apartheid, calls for participatory approaches to research and practice that aim to decolonize knowledge construction, transform modes of community engagement, and address dominant power relations. This article reflects on how these challenges are addressed in the Spiritual Capacity and Religious Assets for Transforming Community Health through mobilising …
Lessons learnt from a community-based participatory research project in a South African rural context
The Railton Community Assessment Project constituted a community-based, participatory form of research that sought to identify community needs and assets for the purposes of prioritising actions to support community development planning and funding allocation in a local community in a South African rural context. The research design, which included 11 research phases, each including a number of research activities, was collaboratively developed a…
Transpersonal practices as prevention intervention for burnout among HIV/Aids coordinator teachers
The impact of transpersonal psychology techniques as a treatment in burnout prevention interventions for teachers has not been studied in South Africa. This quantitative research study utilised a pre- and post-test quasi-experimental design using the Beck Anxiety Inventory to measure anxiety and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory to measure personal, work, and client dimensions of burnout. Thirty educators, who were HIV/AIDS coordinators in their s…
Crossing the Invisible Line
This study explores the discursive accounts of women's alcohol dependence, treatment history and barriers in accessing alcohol dependence treatment. Participants were 10 women with alcohol dependency (age range=30 to 65, ethnicity= 70% White and 30% Black). Data were collected through the life story (narrative) interview method and thematically analyzed. A social constructionist approach was utilized to access and construct meaning from the disco…
Racial Oppression, Colonization, and Identity
The most powerful tool in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed. — Steve Biko (1946–1977), speech given in Cape Town, 1971 OVERVIEW. The psychological experiences of people of African heritage have been shaped and influenced by the enduring legacy of European colonization and the Atlantic slave trade. As such, counselors who seek to promote health and healing for Africans and those impacted by the African Diaspora need to unders…
Masculinity and sexual practices in the military
The military's organisational culture tends to condone or encourage risk-taking behaviour. Willingness to accept and engage in risk-taking behaviour is central to good soldiering and is strongly associated with readiness for combat. This core attribute of military culture might predispose soldiers to engage in other higher-risk behaviours, such as unprotected sex. Soldiers' working and living conditions, such as the high level of work-related str…
Service Learning and Community Engagement
One of the presumptions of a well-functioning, viable democracy is that citizens participate in the life of their communities and nation. The role of higher education in forming actively engaged citizens has long been the focus of scholarly research, but recently an active debate has emerged concerning the role of service as a third core function of institutions of higher learning. Service learning (SL), a teaching approach that extends student l…
The association of racial attitudes and spiritual beliefs in post-apartheid South Africa
Previous research has investigated the complex association between religious beliefs and racism. Many studies have found that fundamentalist religious beliefs are positively associated with racial prejudice among European and European American populations. However, few studies have examined whether this association is found in other cultures or whether the association also characterizes spiritual beliefs. Data from 493 South African university st…
Broadening Mental Health Services to Disadvantaged Communities in South Africa
The need to provide mental health services in disadvantaged communities remains a priority in South Africa. This paper illustrates how in consultation and partnership with the peri-urban community of Jamestown, a counselling psychology internship was established to provide a range of mental health services at a primary health clinic. We describe how the internship also became an important catalyst for other community interventions. We also illust…
South African Counsellors' Attitudes Towards Cognitive Behavioural Techniques to Ameliorate Trauma
Reconceptualizing the Sequelae of Political Torture
A psychiatric model of traumatization has informed most research in psychology on the effects of human rights violations, including political torture, in South Africa. This article highlights some of the limitations of a hegemonic psychiatric approach to conceptualizing current sequelae of abuse experienced by political detainees during the apartheid era. It calls attention to the relevance of the South African social and political context in whi…

Role Conflict of South African Women in Dual-Career Families
Ethnic Identity and Racial Attitudes in a Minority Group of Mixed Racial Origin
Limited information exists on the racial attitudes and ethnic identities of groups of mixed racial origin. The present research tested the hypotheses that the construct of ethnic identity is valid among such groups and that ethnic identity is related to out-group prejudice, as predicted by social identity theory. The Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure, the Anti-White Scale, and the Subtle Racism Scale were administered to 70 South Africans of mix…
Role Conflict of South African Women in Dual-Career Families
162 female managers in dual-career families were surveyed about their perceived role conflict and support at home. While the majority expressed satisfaction with their careers, a significant proportion (72%) confirmed experiencing role conflict that impeded career development. Lack of husband's or partner's involvement in household chores was associated with role conflict. Involvement of the spouse or partner in household chores was also a signif…
Racial Attitudes among South African Young Adults
The many social changes that have occurred in South Africa since the first democratic elections in 1994 warrant that careful scrutiny be given to the racial attitudes of South Africa's young adults. Their degree of acceptance of the doctrine of deracialisation and reconciliation represents a hope or a warning about the possibility of a stable future. A follow-up study was thus carried out in order to update data collected in 1995, with the hypoth…
