The Shaping of Family Therapy Education
Personality Traits and Curricular Choices of Undergraduate Women in Home Economics
296 undergraduate women in home economics were administered a biodata questionnaire, the Attitudes Toward Women Scale-Short Form, and the California Psychological Inventory to determine whether there is a single “type” of home-economics major or whether students in various specializations in home economics differ from one another. Analysis indicated that majors varied on attitudes toward women's roles, two California Psychological Inventory facto…
Predictive Variables of Violent Behavior in Adolescent Males
This study examined the relationship of previously determined predictors of general delinquency to violent behavior of African American and Caucasian males. Independent variables included multiple measures of family and individual variables. With the exception of family structure, results indicated that predictors of violent behavior are similar to predictors of general delinquency. Differences between African American and Caucasians are highligh…
Measurement Trends in Family Research
Examination of techniques of family measurement described in the research literature showed various trends for the total number of instruments constructed over the past 60 years as well as their type, area of content, and measurement targets
The Marriage and Family Therapist
To better acquaint mental health professionals with the educational background of marriage and family therapists, this study examined degree-objective programs offered by 55 academic units in US colleges and universities. Through mailed questionnaires supplemented by telephone follow-ups, information was obtained regarding location of units, enrollment, faculty, admission requirements, program requirements, and therapy models taught. In addition …
Measures of Self-Esteem by Preschool Children
20 preschoolers were given four self-esteem measures to estimate correlations among measures and with selected demographic variables. Results were consistent with previous findings that self-evaluations differ in format and/or underlying factors which supports the differentiated or hierarchical rather than global organization of self-regard scales
Birth Order, Family Size, and Children's Mental Health
This study examined the relationships of birth order and family size to psychological adjustment in native-born, white children ( N = 2,991) in Grades K-8, using the Behavior Problem Checklist. Multiple regression analyses of variance yielded two significant effects for conduct problems and socialized delinquency when different levels of birth order were considered individually and only one significant finding for socialized delinquency when the …
Psychological Adjustment of Adopted and Nonadopted Children
41 adopted and 2,991 nonadopted children were compared on a behavior problem checklist completed by teachers. Adopted youngsters exceeded their nonadopted peers in frequency of disorders, especially conduct problems but also personality problems and socialized delinquency. Incidence of personality problems increased for adopted children from kindergarten through eighth grade and increased and then declined for nonadopted children over the same pe…
Behavioral disturbance in children of native-born and immigrant parents
To examine the mental health status of children whose parents were foreign-born and to determine if these youngsters have a special need for mental health services, this study compared the incidence of behavioral disturbance in 2,991 children who were native-born and white with 97 children of immigrant parents. General information and ratings on a behavior problem checklist were obtained from teachers. Based upon an analysis of variance procedure…
Factor Analytic Study of Potential for Foster Parenthood
Development of a Scale Measuring Potential for Foster Parenthood
Comparison of Children in Regular and Special Education Classes on the Behavior Problem Checklist
To establish the validity of the Behavior Problem Checklist, using the method of contrasted groups, 1,999 white and 192 Mexican-American children in regular classes and 192 white and 17 Mexican-American children in special education classes were tested. Teachers provided general information and checklist ratings. Multiple correlations and multiple regression analyses of variance were used. Children in regular classes had fewer problems on all fou…
Development of a Motivation and Potential for Adoptive Parenthood Scale
Purpose of the present study was to construct a motivation and potential for adoptive parenthood scale using the basic principles of psychometric theory. The sample consisted of 530 adoptive families who were served by 67 adoption agencies and 265 adoption workers. The procedure used to construct the scale was described, the distribution of the scores and the reliability of the scale were reported, and possible uses of the scale were suggested
A Factor Analytic Study of Motivation and Potential for Adoptive Parenthood
The purpose of the present study was to factor a scale to measure motivation and potential for adoptive parenthood using data from 530 families. The two parts of the scale were analyzed separately. On the motivation subscale, two factors were found. On the potential subscale, nine factors were obtained for the adoptive mothers, and eight for the adoptive fathers. The factors were described, and the implications for practice were discussed
Influence of Parental Expectancies and Responsiveness on Achievement Motivation of Minimally Brain-Injured and Normal Children
16 families with minimally brain-injured children and 16 families with normal children were matched on a number of characteristics. The two groups differed in regard to mothers' expectancies for achievement, fathers' rewards for success and punishment for failure, and children's need for achievement. Moreover, parents had a significant influence on their children's achievement motivation but patterns of relationships were not the same for the two…
