Intimacy in adolescent friendship
This study examined attachment, coherence, and self-disclosure as predictors of intimacy in adolescent friendships as well as the extent to which coherence and disclosure mediate the relationship between attachment and intimacy. Gender and grade-level effects on intimacy development were also examined for one hundred ninety-six seventh, eighth and ninth grade students (116 boys and 80 girls). Attachment, coherence, and disclosure strongly predict…
Maternal adjustment and infant outcome in medically defined high-risk pregnancy
Biological and psychosocial risk factors in high-risk pregnancy and their relation to infant developmental outcomes were explored in a sample of 153 pregnant Israeli women who had pregestational diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes mellitus, or were nondiabetic. Questionnaires on coping and resources as well as well-being and distress during the 2nd trimester were administered. Estimates of maternal fuels (HbAlc and fructosamine) were obtained…
Attachment Styles and Aggression in Physically Abused and Neglected Children
Depressive symptoms and suicidality in physically abused children
Depressive symptoms and suicidality were assessed in 114 children 6-12 years old, of whom 41 had been physically abused, 38 neglected, and 35 neither abused nor neglected. The physically abused children manifested significantly higher levels of depressive symptomatology and suicidality than did the other two groups. Implications for research and clinical practice are discussed
Cognitive appraisals, coping strategies, and support resources as correlates of parenting and infant development
By applying R. S. Lazarus's (1993) theoretical model, the authors explored the dynamics of stress and coping as central mechanisms underlying parenting adjustment and infant development. Longitudinal assessment of 140 primiparous mothers included measures of cognitive appraisals of parenting, coping strategies used, and supportive coping resources at pregnancy and 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months postpartum. Maternal outcome measures of adjustmen…
Tolerance for physical pain in suicidal subjects
This study investigated the tolerance for physical pain in suicidal subjects. Suicidal, psychiatric nonsuicidal, and normal young males and females were administered pain measures including electric shocks, appraisal of shocks, and a measure of thermal pain. Additional study variables included diagnosis, past suicide attempts, severity of suicidal intent, and length of hospitalization. Suicidal individuals showed higher tolerance for pain and app…
Children's Perception of Death and Interpersonal Closeness to the Dead Person
Fifty-four boys and girls of three age groups: six to seven, eight to nine, and ten to eleven, participated in an investigation of the relationship between the comprehension of death and the degree of interpersonal closeness to the dead person. The children responded to a death concept questionnaire tapping their understanding of the deaths of a “brother,” a “cousin,” and “Johnny”—an unfamiliar child. A 3 × 3 ANOVA showed an age × person interact…
Transition to parenthood in adoptive families
The transition to adoptive parenthood was investigated in a short-term longitudinal study exploring preadoption/prenatal parental expectations and postadoption/postnatal parental experiences. Ss were 104 Israeli first-time adoptive and biological parent couples. Also investigated was the extent to which individual and contextual antecedents assessed by questionnaires in the expectancy period predicted parental experiences when the infants were 4 …
Psychological adjustment of adoptive parents-to-be
Adjustment and functioning of adoptive parents-to-be were examined during the last stage of expectancy, focusing on possible antecedents or determinants of successful parenting. Results failed to support expectations of short-term adverse effects from transitional stresses, and suggested that the expectancy period may not be equivalent for adoptive and biological parents, especially for mothers. Programmatic implications are discussed
Fear of Personal Death
The fear of personal death can be expressed in a variety of ways according to the different aspects of death. The present study employed a multidimensional method of measurement to investigate differences in fear of personal death between religious and nonreligious men and women. The sample consisted of 225 high school students studying in state religious and nonreligious schools. The findings indicated significant and simple interactive effects …
Cultural Patterns in the Choice of Leisure Time Activity Frameworks
The choice of leisure time activities and satisfaction with these choices were compared among two separate cultural groups—164 Jews and 164 Arabs living in urban areas in Northern Israel. Subjects answered a questionnaire covering four categories of activities: organized after-school activities, public-and entertainment-related activities, unorganized outside activities and individual activities in the home. The results indicated significant diff…
