    The differential patterns of behaviour of hearing parents (30 married couples) who cope with the reality of parenting a hearing-impaired child were studied. Responses on the Questionnaire on Resources and Stress indicated no significant differences between mothers and fathers for pessimism, child characteristics, and physical incapacitation. Mothers obtained a significantly higher stress-response on their perception of difficulties for themselves…

    A schizophrenic patient's behaviour was monitored over 12 weeks using the Assessment Schedule and Adult Training Instrument, the patient's self-reports of his symptoms of anxiety, scores on the Social Behaviour Schedule, and the frequency of nocturnal enuresis.

  • Use of the Hereford Parent Attitude Survey as an Outcome Measure in Parent Education Research

    Handré J Brand, Engela G EllisARTICLEPsychological Reports1991

    Research on outcome evaluation published since 1980 on the Hereford Parent Attitude Survey was reviewed in terms of sample size, type of parent training program used, and the scales' sensitivity to change in parental attitudes after intervention. Some support for the sensitivity of the Hereford was found, and, as an evaluation device to assess whether program goals have been achieved, the scale proved to be a useful instrument. The Hereford scale…

  • Work-Related Self-Concept and Family Relations in Unemployed Married Men

    Open AccessHandré J Brand, Roslyn C PullenARTICLEPsychological Reports1991

    It was hypothesized that unemployed men ( n = 50) would have significantly lower mean scores on work-related self-concept and family relations than employed men ( n = 50). Secondary hypotheses looked at the effect of the period of unemployment, method of job loss, and education on work-related self-concept. No significant differences were found between scores on work-related self-concept and family relations of the employed and the unemployed gro…

  • Perceived Parental Inconsistency as a Factor in the Emotional Development of Behaviour-Disordered Children

    Open AccessHandré J Brand, Bernhardt Hermann Crous et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1990

    55 English-speaking institutionalized adolescents (37 boys and 18 girls between ages of 14 and 19 yr.) were given questionnaires measuring perceived parental inconsistency and different components of emotional development. Canonical correlation analysis indicated that a significant proportion (51%) of the variation in emotional adjustment was accounted for by parental inconsistency. It is suggested that the efficiency of using parents as agents o…

    Open AccessHandré J Brand, Kim WelchARTICLEPsychological Reports1989

    62 English-speaking preschool children were divided into three groups, a Montessori group (n = 21), a traditional preschool group (n = 21), and a homestaying group (n = 20) to compare their relative cognitive and social-emotional development. Significant differences in favour of the school groups were found for vocabulary, language comprehension, ability to judge the correctness of figural stimuli, visual memory, and perceptual organization. No d…

  • Speed as a Variable in the Performance of Partially Hearing Children on Tests of Cognitive Ability

    Open AccessHandré J Brand, Frans H BadenhorstARTICLEPsychological Reports1987

    The performance of 81 partially hearing children of both sexes between the ages of 5 and 17 yr. on several cognitive tests was investigated for effective use of time. Various age groups gained significantly fewer time bonuses for Arithmetical Reasoning, a verbal test demanding abstraction of a high order than for other nonverbal tests making use of more concrete stimuli. Also the proportion of responses which were awarded time bonuses on all test…

  • Complexity of Motivation for Artificial Insemination by Donor

    Open AccessHandré J BrandARTICLEPsychological Reports1987

    A thorough evaluation of underlying motives for a decision by patients to make use of artificial insemination by a donor as a possible solution for the problem of involuntary childlessness as result of the male factor, should be a necessary prerequisite for the use of this procedure. In such a situation, an external factor (semen of an anonymous donor) is introduced to a complex dyadic system which is particularly susceptible to emotional stress.…

  • Psychological stress and infertility. Part 2

    Open AccessHandré J BrandARTICLEBritish Journal of Medical…1982

    The hypothesis tested in this study was that a group of female functional infertile patients would show significantly more personality maladjustment than a group with definite organic reproductive pathology and a normal fertile group. No significant differences between the functional and organic groups were found on any of the subscores of four personality questionnaires. The normal group (wives of sterile men) scored higher on extraversion than …

    Open AccessHandré J Brand, Simon S Roos et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Medical…1982

    The relationship between emotional stress and infertility was investigated in a study of 59 infertile female patients. Comparisons were made between a functional group ( n = 22), an organic group ( n = 32) and a fertile group ( n = 5). No significant differences in basal pulse volume, heart rate, skin resistance and muscle tension were found. The normal group showed significantly higher heart rate reactivity to sound stimulation than the function…
