Coping Processes as Revealed in the Stories of Mothers of Children With Autism
Copious research evidence identifies the many stressors faced by mothers of children with autism. The aim of this study was to examine the ways in which coping is revealed in the content and structure of stories told by five mothers of children with autism. Narrative data were analyzed using both holistic-form and categorical-content approaches. Manifestations of coping were revealed in the macrostructures of stories. Cognitive coping strategies …
Gauging Visibility: How Female Clerical Workers Manage Work-Related Distress
Our aim was to explain how female clerical workers manage work-related distress, using a feminist grounded theory method. Thirty-seven interviews were conducted with 24 female clerical workers. They engage in the process of gauging visibility to manage a recognition-vulnerability paradox. To gauge visibility, they take the lay of the land by attending to threats, resources, and supports within withering or flourishing work conditions. When distre…
Sequestering of Suffering: Critical Discourse Analysis of Natural Disaster Media Coverage
This article is a critical discourse analysis of the local print-news media coverage of the recovery process in two rural communities following a devastating forest fire. Two hundred and fifty fire-related articles from the North Thompson Star Journal (2003) were analyzed. Results revealed a neoliberal discursive framing of recovery, emphasizing the economic-material aspects of the process and a reliance on experts. A sequestering of suffering di…
A Narrative View of Art Therapy and Art Making by Women with Breast Cancer
Art therapy (with an art therapist) and art making (without an art therapist) show promise as avenues for psychosocial support for women with breast cancer. The purpose of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of how 17 women with breast cancer in Canada and the USA used art therapy and their own art making to address their psychosocial needs, focusing particularly on meaning making. Narrative analysis of interviews yielded four storyl…
Considering 'Meaning' in the Context of Breast Cancer
In this article, we show that a psychological view of global and situational meanings is inadequate for understanding meaning making in the context of breast cancer. We outline research that has illuminated breast cancer meanings that differ from standard illness meanings and we highlight impediments to meaning making for women with breast cancer. We conclude that it is less helpful to promote a particular kind of illness meaning for women with b…

Women’s Adaptation to Chronic Back Pain: Daily Appraisals and Coping Strategies, Personal Characteristics and Perceived Spousal Responses
Daily diary methodology was used to examine within- and between-person associations among pain appraisals, coping strategies, personal characteristics, perceived spousal responses and daily (30 days) changes in negative mood and pain for 88 women with chronic back pain. Multilevel models revealed that control appraisals and distraction and ignoring pain coping strategies were associated with same-day reductions in negative mood and pain; whereas …

Relationships and the Meaning of Power for Disadvantaged Women
The purpose of this study was to explore the meaning of power for 36 disadvantaged women. Interview responses were coded for moral orientation (care, justice), self-definition (connected, separate) and relational context, as well as examined for themes of power. Analyses did not support the expectation that the majority of disadvantaged women would experience power as a care orientation. Moreover, being employed or a mother did not moderate a wom…

Attempting to improve the validity of a well‐established assessment centre
Various procedural changes were introduced to an assessment centre (AC) for the selection of naval officers in order to assist the assessors to use the evidence more appropriately in arriving at their overall assessment rating (OAR). Procedural changes included: the reduction in the number of dimensions assessed; assembling component predictor information under the relevant dimension on an evidence organizer; a visual indication of predictive val…

Sex-Role Orientation, Coping Strategies, and Self-Efficacy of Women in Traditional and Nontraditional Occupations
Examined women's sex-role orientation, coping strategies, self-efficacy, and stress in male- and female-dominated occupations. Results ( n = 281) revealed that high-masculine women (measured by the Bem Sex Role Inventory), compared with low-masculine women, reported significantly lower scores on measures of anxiety and strain, with the exception of interpersonal strain. High-masculine women, compared with low-masculine women, reported greater pro…
Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Validation and Revision of a Teacher Stress Inventory
Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the structural reliability of the Teacher Stress Inventory (Pettegrew and Wolf, 1982) with data from 1486 elementary and secondary school teachers. Revisions to the instrument were required, resulting in a shortened 36-item, 7-factor measure. Cross-validation with CFA, reliability analyses, and divergent groups validation indicated that this revised inventory has a theoretically verifiable facto…
