Reframing outcomes in intensive family preservation services
Perspectives of professionals on the perinatal period as a window of opportunity for change in women with SUD
These findings underscore the need to move beyond hegemonic discourses that frame strength and deficit, mothering and substance use, or vulnerability and opportunity as binary opposites. Recognizing the ways these dimensions coexist and intersect is vital for developing responsive, relational, and ethically grounded models of perinatal care
The role of parents’ basic psychological needs in parental burnout
Supporting second chance education
In many Western societies, earning a degree is considered an ultimate educational achievement. Second chance education (SCE) serves as a distinct pathway for those who have dropped out of school, allowing them to re‐enter the educational system. Understanding the specific obstacles and needs of students in SCE is crucial for providing better‐tailored support. However, limited knowledge exists about the challenges faced by students seeking to enro…
The roles Second Chance Education can play as a learning environment
In current Western societies, the number of students dropping out of school is high. At the same time, the importance of education is well-documented, leading to an increase in Second Chance Education (SCE) initiatives as an alternative way to obtain a degree. However, little is known about the roles SCE can play as a learning environment for students ‘dropping in’ SCE, beyond mere degree attainment. Therefore, this study aims to shed light on th…
School dropout as the result of a complex interplay between individual and environmental factors
School attendance problems and school dropout are recognised as a major concern by researchers, policymakers, practitioners and the wider society. Although research acknowledges the multi-faceted complexity of dropping out of school, only a limited number of studies have focused on the perspective of support workers (e.g., teachers, social workers, school management, student coaches, policymakers, researchers, labour consultants and psychologists…
A practice-based approach toward school dropout
Dropping out from school is considered to be a cumulative process of disengagement and it remains a serious concern for educational communities. Current research on school dropout focuses mainly on risk factors and developing evidence-based prevention and intervention programs, although the effectiveness of these programs is not unequivocal. This study aims to disentangle knowledge from experts by experience (i.e., practice-based evidence) about …
I Grew Up Amidst Alcohol and Drugs
Experiencing parental substance use (PSU) has been associated with a heightened risk of developing substance use disorders (SUDs) in offspring. The primary goal of this study was to explore perspectives of adult children with lived experience of PSU who also developed SUDs themselves through first-hand experience. This study was conducted in Flanders (Belgium). A qualitative exploratory research design was applied. Seventeen semi-structured inter…
Looking beyond primary barriers
Worldwide, students with a migration background are over-represented in statistics of early school leavers. Too often, educational inequalities are attributed to culture as the primary barrier to successful educational outcomes. This group tends to be regarded as potential dropout students, culminating in stigmatization and stereotyping biases. This qualitative study evaluates the perspectives of support workers using 15 in-depth interviews that …
Parenting and Child Personality as Modifiers of the Psychosocial Development of Youth with Cerebral Palsy
Towards a detailed understanding of preschool children’s memory-related functioning and emotion regulation
This study examined the role of parents' reminiscing style in preschoolers' memory-related functioning and general emotion regulation. In 87 families, each parent rated their child's ( M age = 4.07 years, SD = 0.80) emotion regulation and discussed a positive and a negative memory with their child (resulting in 275 conversations). Multilevel analyses showed that children's rated engagement during the conversation was higher when parents were obse…
Mothering, Substance Use Disorders and Intergenerational Trauma Transmission
Background: A growing body of research underlines that interpersonal trauma in childhood leads to heightened susceptibility for substance use disorders (SUDs) in later life. Little research has been conducted on parenting experiences of mothers in recovery from substance use, taking into account their own upbringing as a child and the potential aftermath of interpersonal childhood trauma. Methods: Through in-depth qualitative interviews, 23 mothe…
The Role of Parental Reflective Functioning in the Relation between Parents’ Self-Critical Perfectionism and Psychologically Controlling Parenting Towards Adolescents
SYNOPSISObjective. Parental self-critical perfectionism has been identified as an important source of parents’ psychologically controlling parenting. Nevertheless, it remains unclear how this well-established association can be explained. This study aims to advance insight in the association between parental self-critical perfectionism and psychological control by addressing the role of parental reflective functioning among parents of adolescents…
The moderating role of adolescent personality in associations between psychologically controlling parenting and problem behaviors
Although abundant research has demonstrated associations between psychologically controlling parenting and adolescent problem behavior, little is known about the moderating role of adolescent personality herein. This study examined whether adolescent personality moderates the associations between parental psychological control and internalizing and externalizing problems at the level of within-person change. A 3-wave longitudinal design (N = 198 …
Long‐Term Developmental Changes in Children's Lower‐Order Big Five Personality Facets
OBJECTIVE: This study examined long-term developmental changes in mother-rated lower-order facets of children's Big Five dimensions. METHOD: Two independent community samples covering early childhood (2-4.5 years; N = 365, 39% girls) and middle childhood to the end of middle adolescence (6-17 years; N = 579, 50% girls) were used. All children had the Belgian nationality. Developmental changes were examined using cohort-sequential latent growth mo…
The Association of Cognitive Ability with Right–Wing Ideological Attitudes and Prejudice
The cognitive functioning of individuals with stronger endorsement of right–wing and prejudiced attitudes has elicited much scholarly interest. Whereas many studies investigated cognitive styles, less attention has been directed towards cognitive ability. Studies investigating the latter topic generally reveal lower cognitive ability to be associated with stronger endorsement of right–wing ideological attitudes and greater prejudice. However, thi…
The Relationship Between Social‐Cultural Attitudes and Behavioral Measures of Cognitive Style
The present meta‐analysis investigates the relationship between social‐cultural right‐wing attitudes and objective measures of cognitive style on a set of 124 unique samples, with a total of 29,209 participants. Intolerance of ambiguity and cognitive ability yielded relationships of moderate strength with right‐wing attitudes, whereas only mixed evidence was obtained for rigidity, complexity, and field dependence. In the discussion, we compare th…
