The Influence of Supportive and Nonsupportive Persons in Helping Rural Women in Abusive Partner Relationships Become Free from Abuse
Dimensionality of the Kansas Family Strengths Scale and the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale as Revised to Capture Changes in Marital Satisfaction
The Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale was modified to reflect issues of relationship development and administered, along with 19 items from a previously reported Kansas Family Strengths Scale by Schumm, Bollman, Jurich, and Hatch, to 337 married couples from a midwestern urban community. High internal consistency was obtained for the revised version (alpha=.93), and the dimensionality of the Kansas Family Strengths Scale was approximately similar…
Adolescent Parent Mourning Reactions Associated with Stillbirth or Neonatal Death
Case studies of the mourning reactions observed in six adolescent mothers who lost their infants to stillbirth or neonatal death are reported. The adolescent mothers were interviewed in a semi-structured format during their pregnancy, at the loss of the pregnancy or neonate, and two, four, six, and twelve months after the death of the infant. Bereaved adolescent mothers experienced extreme fluctuations in emotions following their loss. Additional…
An Exploratory Study of Homeschooling in Kansas
Personal interviews with a nonrandom sample of four current or former homeschooling mothers indicated that these mothers were homeschooling to avoid what they perceived as negative social or academic aspects of public schools and to promote closer family interaction. While the families appeared to be divided along traditional gender-role assignments, fathers were responsible for at least one of the children's subjects, usually science, religion, …

In a nonrandom sample of 30 church-affiliated couples, preferred frequency of sexual intercourse declined as a function of age, duration of marriage, and number of children. Husbands indicated a higher preferred frequency than wives, although their preferred frequencies were significantly correlated. Preferred frequencies were not correlated with birth order, socioeconomic status, or education. For wives only, preferred frequency was correlated p…
Characteristics of the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale among Female Participants in Community Childbirth Education Classes
The Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale was administered to 61 female participants in community childbirth preparation classes. Further support for the internal consistency reliability of the scale ( alpha = 0.90) was obtained, and patterns of differences between item means were similar to those of previous research. The scale was correlated, in expected directions, with church attendance and income, as well as with two measures of spouse's support…
Alternative Funerals
A questionnaire to obtain data concerning beliefs and attitudes related to death and funeral preferences and to ascertain attitudes related to specific aspects of an alternative funeral plan developed by a small, midwestern, urban, Protestant congregation was completed by sixty-four respondents within the congregation. Statistical analyses revealed significant relationships existed among several of the unique aspects of the alternative plan
Quality of Marriage of University Students in Relation to Sources of Financial Support and Demographic Characteristics

Self-report measures indicated overall quality of marriage to be high. Statistical measures found quality of marriage to be significantly higher if both spouses were enrolled simultaneously and if couples did not depend on loans as a source of income. Quality of marriage was significantly lowe…
