Use and Abuse of Religious Language – A Christian View
Questions to the Millennium
The Annual Jewish-Christian-Muslim Student conference, jointly organised by the Leo Baeck College, the Hedwig Dransfeld Haus and the Deutsche Muslim Liga (Bonn), celebrated its twenty-seventh anniversary with a reflection on the theme of the Millennium – or rather the different 'ages' of the three monotheistic religions. The speakers were asked to reflect on where their religions were in terms of their historic development and where they were per…
Adjustment of Adolescents
Mental Health and Desired Social Support
The first aim of this study was to determine whether dissatisfaction with close (attachment) and less close (social integration) relationships was primarily reflected in desiring less or more social support. The second aim was to explore the temporal order of this association using latent variable LISREL analysis. Mental health was assessed by the-30-item General Health Questionnaire and desire for social support by the Interview Schedule for Soc…
Adaptation of immigrant and native Australians
Two samples of recent immigrant families (with 364 and 150 responding members) were compared with a single sample of native-born Australian families (210 members) to ascertain similarities and differences in their patterns of subjective and social adaptation. For the most part, they were quite similar: There were positive intercorrelations among 17 measures of satisfaction with various foci (subjective adaptation) and somewhat lower positive inte…
Children's Personality as a Function of Family Relations within and between Cultures
Relations of four family characteristics to four personality characteristics were ascertained from 1,686 high school students, their parents, and teachers in 7 communities (Hong Kong, Taipei, Osaka, Berlin, Winnipeg, Phoenix, and Canberra). Analyses based on the composite sample showed generally positive correlations between (each of) member satisfaction, nurturance, and permissiveness and (each of) self-esteem, emotional well-being, and interper…
Adaptation of Immigrants
Some predictors of migrant adaptation available at selection time
Applicants for migration to Australia were interviewed in a study completely separate from the selection process. The 307 members of 96 families who actually immigrated were interviewed again approximately 3 years later. Their satisfactions with many aspects of their lives and their performances in several roles were assessed by a variety of methods. Adaptation was treated as a multi-faceted process, and the immigrants were found to differ in lev…

Ethnicity, interpersonal relations, and adaptation among families of european migrants to australia
A sample of 139 families (457 members) from several European countries were studied by questionnaire at the time they appeared for interview with immigration officers in various Australian consulates. Over half of this pretest sample (78 families, 239 members) replied to a mail questionnaire following their arrival in Australia. Prior to migration, high socioeconomic status was associated with high solidarity, high fragmentation, and low role dif…
Intercorrelations among structural properties of primary groups
Measuring social relationships The Interview Schedule for Social Interaction
SYNOPSIS It is generally recognized that social relationships occupy a central position in psychiatry. To examine the role of social relationships in the onset of minor psychiatric morbidity it is necessary to construct an instrument which will meet the need for a valid, reliable and comprehensive index of social relationships. Such an instrument has now been developed and used in a sample of the general population. The Interview Schedule for Soc…
Acquaintance ratings as criteria of adjustment
In four different samples of university students from Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and The United States (total n = 645), criteria of psychological adjustment based on 2 friends' judgments of 15 specific behaviour tendencies attained levels of interrater agreement (averaging r = .50) at least as high as those previously obtained for criterion ratings on a wide range of attitudes, motives, and behaviour dispositions. Composite criterion ratings …
Women's Studies as Change Agent
Students' attitudes toward women and changes in those attitudes after taking a women's studies course were studied. The Spence Attitude Toward Women Scale was administered to 354 undergraduate students at two mid-western institutions. Matched pre- and posttests were obtained for 176 students. Results showed that attitudes toward women became more liberal after taking a women's studies course ( p < .001); also that attitudes were initially more li…
