The effectiveness of participatory theatre with early adolescents in school‐based sexuality education
Public concern about adolescent sexuality has garnered considerable interest in recent decades. Most teenagers are either thinking about or acting on their sexual impulses. Yet notable controversy exists regarding sexual education among youth. Adolescents report sexuality education must speak to issues of interest to them and be delivered in a compelling manner. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of theatre as an effec…
Identity Processing Styles and Canadian Adolescents' Self-Reported Delinquency
Drawing on research in juvenile delinquency and crime, several parallels are observed with that of research using the concept of identity styles. The study of 1,450 adolescent boys and girls in the 7th through 12th grade was completed to discern if identity theory is useful in detecting self-reported delinquency behavior. Gender and age differences were expected; however, they were not observed to be of major consequences. Rather, a diffuse-avoid…
Diffuse-Avoidance, Normative, and Informational Identity Styles
Expanding on the identity status paradigm, this investigation uses 3 forms of identity styles (diffuse-avoidance, normative, and informational) to assess the association among identity and maladjustment. A sample of 2,001 junior and senior high school students in Calgary and Edmonton, Canada completed a self-report that included, among other questions, items assessing the 3 identity styles and degree of adjustment or maladjustment in conduct, hyp…
Families in Canada
Generational Differences in the Meaning of Retirement from Farming
Developmental stake theory posits that the parental generation will have a greater stake in the family and in family continuity than will their adult children. This research tested the effect of these differential stakes on the meaning of retirement for 365 members of the retiring generation and 276 members of the receiving generation currently farming together in Canada and the United States. The hypotheses that more of the retiring generation w…
Religious Intermarriage in Canada in the 1980's
This paper examines recent data on religious intermarriage in Canada. Religious intramarriage continues to be the highest (60+ percent) among Jews, followed in rank order by non-Christians, Pentecostals, and Mennonites. Among these more "resistant" groups, exogamy among Jews significantly increased over the past decade, while religious endogamy significantly increased among Pentecostals. Lutherans, Presbyterians and Anglicans continue to be the m…
The support gap for dual clergy couples
Farm women/farm work
Handling greedy clergy roles
Following the Leaders
In this study, the relationship between the religious activity of mothers and fathers and the religious activity of male and female adolescents was investigated. The gender of the adolescent was seen as an important variable. Two hundred and thirty five intact families with adolescents were drawn from the Olson, McCubbin, Barnes, Larsen, Muxen and Wilson (1983) data set of 1140 families. Findings indicated that only paternal religious activity va…
Family form or Family Process? Reconsidering the Deficit Family Model Approach
This paper examines the utility of a deficit family model approach by questioning whether family form or familial process is more likely to contribute to children's positive personal and social development. A literature review of the recent work on the effects of alternative family forms (divorced families, father or mother absent families, remarriages, employed mother families) on children's personality, social behavior and school achievement su…
Love American Style
A series of four investigations was completed to validate a new love scale and assess the relationship between stage of life and romantic and conjugal love attitudes. Collegeand highschool-educated samples were compared overfour stages of life. The data support a proposed functional linkage between role structure and love attitudes. Specifically, during stages where role expectations were simple and loosely defined, romantic attitudes were high, …
