The Contextual Impact of Social Support Across Race and Gender
Over the past 2 decades, the interrelationship among the concepts of social support, stress, and psycho-physiological well-being has undergone much scrutiny in the professional literature. More recently, the many challenges posed by the reality of this country's increasingly diversified workplace have received attention by both social work practitioners and researchers alike. The area that remains largely unstudied is the intersection of these tw…
With a Little Help from Our Friends
The relationship between one's psycho-emotional and physiological health has long been of interest to social scientists. While many factors have been examined for their impact on causation and prevention, over the past two decades the concepts of social support, stress and well-being have undergone much scrutiny. In this article the authors provide empirical data to enhance our understanding of the interrelatedness of these three concepts. Based …
From crisis to growth at midlife
Adult development is becoming a critical component of an organization's effectiveness in our rapidly changing world (Torbert, 1987). While transitions in adulthood have been shown to be inevitable and patterned, they do not necessarily result in personal growth. In this exploratory study, data were collected from 64 men and women experiencing midlife transitions. Several factors were identified (scope of transition, progression through a transiti…
Transformations of Life Structure and Personal Paradigm During the Midlife Transition
In this exploratory study, data were collected from 64 men and women experiencing midlife transitions. Transformations of life structure during the phases of midlife transition were noted. Some changes (degree of conflict, temporariness, and fulfillment potential) were best accounted for by the act of progressing through the steps of this major transition in life; other changes in life structure (complexity, flexibility, and self-determination) w…
Patterns of Life Structure and Variability in Self
This paper investigates the relationship between patterns of life structure and variability in self. It presents new methods for assessing two kinds of variability in self and four dimensions of life structure (complexity, conflict, flexibility, and compartmentation). Data for these measures were gathered through the design of a research program in which subjects were invited into the data-gathering process as co-inquirers. Empirical data reveal …
On Managing Midlife Transitions in Career and Family
Transitions are ubiqitious phenomena in modern life. This research sets forth a grounded theory phase sequence model of the transition process. The model is used to explore the midlife transition in terms of emotionality, changing career and family investments, and movement toward autonomy at the workplace. Implications for careerists and human resource management are suggested
Negro-White Differences in Blue-Collar Marriages in a Northern Metropolis
Representative samples of Negro and white blue-collar marriages in the Detroit Metropolitan Area show differences in marriage patterns even when comparisons are limited to low blue-collar or high blue-collar marriages only. Negro families are more often wife-dominant at the expense of equalitarianism in making major family decisions. The division of labor in Negro homes involves less sharing and flexibility despite a slightly higher proportion of…
Cognitive Consequences of a Person's Position in a Formal Organization
The purpose of this study is to examine these cognitive consequences of a person's position in a communication network which derives from his position in a formal organization. A sample of employees of an industrial company employing approximately 1000 men was examined for their participation in the communication process and for the cognitive consequences of their positions in the company. The main concern was with the way the employees view the …
