Author(s): Yi-Ping HSIEH,Wen-Jiun Chou,Peng-Wei Wang,Cheng-Fang Yen / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2017

This study developed and validated the Parents’ Perceived Self-Efficacy to Manage Children’s Internet Use Scale (PSMIS) in the parents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: In total, 231 parents of children with ADHD were invited to complete the PSMIS, followed by the Chen Internet Addiction Scale and the short version of Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham, Version IV Scale – Chinese version for analyzing Internet addiction severity and ADHD symptoms, respectively. Results: The results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the four-factor structure of the 18-item PSMIS. The significant difference in the levels of parents’ perceived self-efficacy between the parents of children with and without Internet addiction supported the criterion-related validity of the PSMIS. The internal consistency and 1-month test–retest reliability were acceptable. Conclusion: The results indicate that the PSMIS has acceptable validity and reliability and can be used for measuring parents’ perceived self-efficacy to manage children’s Internet use among parents of children with ADHD.

Gambling and family: A two-way relationship

Author(s): Mythily Subramaniam,Siow Ann Chong,Pratika Satghare,Colette J. Browning,Thomas Shane / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2017

Families play an important role in the evolution of gambling and are also adversely affected by the disordered gambling of any one of their members. The aims of this study were to explore both the role families play in gambling initiation, maintenance, and help-seeking, and the harm caused to families by the gambling behavior using a qualitative approach. Methods: Regular older adult gamblers were included in the study. In-depth interviews were conducted with 25 older adults to gain an understanding of gambling from their perspective. Older adult gamblers described their lived experience of gambling ranging from initiation to harm and attempts to cut down or limit gambling. Data were analyzed using thematic network analysis. Results: The mean age of the 25 participants was 66.2 years. The majority were male (n = 18), of Chinese ethnicity (n = 16), had secondary education (n = 9), were married (n = 20), and currently employed (n = 15). Four organizing themes related to the role of families in initiation and maintenance of gambling, harm caused to family members, and their role in help-seeking were identified. Discussion and conclusions: The study emphasizes the role of Asian families in both initiation and maintenance of gambling. Hence, families must be involved in prevention and outreach programs. Family members must be educated, so that they can encourage help-seeking to ensure early treatment and recovery. There is a need for interventional studies for reducing stress and improving coping among family members.

„Niewidzialne dzieci” – o sytuacji społecznej dzieci osób pozbawionych wolności

Author(s): Sonia Dzierzyńska-Breś / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2017

Dzieci osób pozbawionych wolności w Polsce są pomijane nie tylko przez teoretyków, ale również przez praktyków związanych z pedagogiką resocjalizacyjną. Wciąż brak jest badań, które diagnozowałyby ich sytuację społeczną oraz działań wspierających tą zaniedbaną przez instytucje pomocowe grupę, co czyni dzieci osób pozbawionych wolności „niewidzialnymi”. Dlatego też celem badań jakościowych, które przeprowadziłam w latach 2013–2014 było zdiagnozowanie sytuacji społecznej rodziny, w tym i dzieci osób pozbawionych wolności. Zrealizowałam wywiady pogłębione zarówno z żonami, jak i partnerkami skazanych (32 osoby), jak i ich dziećmi (12 osób) w ich miejscu zamieszkania. Badane rodziny podzieliłam na takie, które nadal utrzymywały kontakt z uwięzionym, jak i tymi rodzinami, które go zaprzestały. Skazani mężowie/partnerzy i ojcowie, odbywali karę w różnego rodzaju typach i rodzajach zakładów karnych. Próba badawcza dobrana była w sposób zróżnicowany, tak by uchwycić zmienność sytuacji społecznej rodzin, Wybrane rodziny charakteryzowały się również różnorodnym usytuowaniem społecznym. Pozwoliło mi to wyróżnić oraz scharakteryzować trzy typy sytuacji społecznej w której funkcjonują rodziny osób pozbawionych wolności, w tym i dzieci: (1) Sytuację społeczną rodziny skoncentrowanej na wspieraniu procesu resocjalizacji skazanego, (2) Sytuacje społeczną rodziny sprionizowanej, pozostającej w opozycji do procesu resocjalizacji skazanego, (3) Sytuację społeczną rodziny skoncentrowanej na rekonstrukcji własnego otoczenia społecznego.

“Invisible children” – about social situation of prisoners children

Author(s): Sonia Dzierzyńska-Breś / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2017

Children of prisoners in Poland are ignored not only by researchers, but also by the practitioners connected with resocialization. There is still lack of research which would diagnosis social situation of prisoners children and institutions which would support and help them. All of this makes children of prisoners “invisible”. That’s why the main aim of my quality researches, which I had conducted in years 2013-2014 was diagnosed the social situation of prisoners families, including their children. I had realized interview both with prisoners wife’s and life partners (32 persons) and their children (12 persons), in the place of their residence. I divided tested families on such which have contact with convicted and such which hadn’t contact with him. Convicted husbands/ life partners and fathers were held in different kinds and types of prisons. The research sample were selected in differential way to capture the variability of the families social situation. Selected families were also in different social position. This allowed me to distinguish and characterize the three types of social situation in which are the families of prisoners, including children: (1) The social situation of the family focused on supporting the resocialization of the prisoners, (2) The social situation of the prisonized, which is in opposite to the process of resocialization, (3) social situation of the family focused on the reconstruction of their own social environment.

Family in Africa – (Not) a Safe Haven from Human Trafficking

Author(s): Radoslaw Malinowski / Language(s): English Issue: 10/2017

In this paper, the author argues that due to several changes in our society, families (especially in East Africa) have started playing a negative role in the process of human trafficking. Therefore, families are no longer protecting its members when exposed to trafficking but rather becoming an impediment to successful counter-trafficking action. The author presents scenarios where families not only do not support victims but actively participate in trafficking them.

МІЖ ЗАКОНОДАВСТВОМ ТА РЕАЛІЯМИ ЖИТТЯ: ПОВСЯКДЕННЯ РОДИН ПАРАФІЯЛЬНОГО ДУХОВЕНСТВА ХАРКІВСЬКОЇ ЄПАРХІЇ У ХІХ – НА ПОЧАТКУ ХХ СТ.

Author(s): J. Zacharczenko / Language(s): English,Ukrainian Issue: 2/2014

The paper presents an attempt to analyze everyday life of families of the parish clergy in the Russian Empire in the 19th - early 20th centuries against the background of changes in secular and ecclesiastical legislation through the example of the Kharkiv diocese. Analysis of the patterns of everyday life of family members of the parish clergy makes it possible to reconstruct a certain life style of people belonging to the clerical order. Studies of features of life style of the clergy allow determining how effective the efforts of church and secular authorities of the Russian Empire were to affect the everyday life of the representatives of the particular estate. Effectiveness of "reform from above" concerning the clergy, especially in the mid-19th century, enables the author to question the "comprehensive nature" of the Great Reforms of Alexander II, particularly with regard to certain estates, such as the clergy.

O poststrukturalističkoj teoriji diskursa kroz raspravu o uvođenju pojma ‘brak’ u hrvatski ustav

Author(s): Sanja Đurin / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 29/2017

The discourse theory still occupies a rather marginal position and faces considerable scepticism in the Croatian academic community. By examining the core arguments of the discourse theory, this paper aims to transform the present attitude. The discourse theory assumes that every linguistic and non-linguistic production (including speeches, reports, manifestos, historical events, ideas, interviews, archives, policies, documents, organizations and institutions, narratives in museums, motion pictures, etc.) represents discursive forms which constitute a ‘discourse’ and its ‘reality’. Based on Foucault’s theoretical legacy, and by elaborating the concept of discourse as defined in Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s Hegemony and social strategy, the discourse theory uses discursive forms to “describe, understand, and explain how and why particular discursive formations were constructed, stabilized and transformed” (Torfing 2005:19). Recent discussion on the definition of marriage in Croatia and its introduction in the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia serves as a particular and specific example which has allowed the examination of the main aspects of the concept in this paper.

ALTAY TÜRKLERİNİN GELENEKSEL AİLE YAPISI

Author(s): Shurubu Kayhan / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 37/2018

Family institution is the oldest building stone of human history. Despite the changes in the social and human values of the family structure, their basic characteristics are the same. The establishment of the family, the healthy continuation of the establishment, the peace, peace, love and respect concepts of the institution are changing from people to people. Altai family structure has very rich resources in this respect. The forms of marriage that constitute the structure of the family institution should be investigated in terms of marriage age, stages of marriage, family institution, concept of child in family, continuity of family establishment, social, cultural and religious aspects. Altays value is the most important feature of Turkish peoples, which is interesting. It is the living of the beliefs of Christian, Buddha and Shamanism in the same soil. Naturally, these beliefs were also influential on the Altay family structure. I would like to emphasize the traditional family structure of the Altay people, especially the traditions and customs within the family in the family.

Početnosť rodiny a religiozita mládeže. Na príklade Spišskej diecézy

Author(s): Ondrej Štefaňak / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 3/2011

Family and religion are two important social institutions that are changing in the contemporary world as well. For sociology, the field giving rise to this study, is very interesting interconnection between number of siblings in the family and religiosity of youth. We ask, for example: Whether and how number of siblings in the family relates to religious attitudes and behaviour of its members, especially children and youth? Is it true that in families with lower number of children are rarely present religious values? Can it be argued that more religious families have also more children? For these and other questions the present study seeks answers. It relies mainly on my own sociological research of youth religiosity in November 2006.

Biblické východiská pre formáciu ľudsky zrelých manželov

Author(s): Stanislav Vojtko / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2011

The present contribution is based on the paradoxical fact that although a lot of energy and time is devoted to preparation of specialists in various fields, very little attention is paid to formation of human personality in its complexity. This lack is particularly evident in the area of marital relationships. The present lecture will therefore focus on two areas of concern: In the first part we describe the biblical basis for the formation of the spouses to human maturity. Using the example of Jesus’ attitude to some problematic biblical characters (Samaritan woman, sinner, Zacchaeus, repentant criminals...) we point to important factors that should be taken into account in the formation of a contemporary person living in a marriage: to take each person as a person of the highest value, because every person is created in God’s image; to use an individual approach in relations; not to condemn those who sin and make faults, but to encourage repentance; build relationships through selfless service to provide the spouses a positive perspective of life. In the second part we deal with the ideas from some documents by John Paul II (eg, Redemptor hominis, Familiaris Consortio, Mulieris dignitatem) that have a strong potential to assist married couples in building mature personalities; on this basis they may be able to create a solid and harmonious partnership. The seminal moment emphasized by John Paul II is the deep communion with Christ as a filial devotion to the Father and love of the Holy Spirit. This is the spiritual base for creating solid marriage and family relations. In conclusion we state, that the knowledge and application of biblical solutions and those of the Magisterium in the formation of Christian married couples is for a contemporary believer a prerequisite to build unity and love in marriage.

Diferencia v chápaní a interpretácii lásky ako jeden z faktorov ovplyvňujúcich manželstvo a rodinu

Author(s): Peter Tirpák / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2011

Family is a natural institution; not something arising from an arbitrary agreement that is modifiable at any time based on momentary needs and feelings. A functioning family is a treasure that is embedded in the will of the Creator, the ultimate Lord of every family and life in general. Family does not pose any obstacle, hurdle, or unbearable burden to a modern human, as is often proclaimed by numerous media and individuals, who never experienced full love and its fruit in the form of a family and stability within a family – possibly, due to the fault of themselves and their misled perceptions. In such a challenging environment, it is the purpose of the Church to continuously rely on the hope and courage of its members and to preach that family is equivalent to goodness. Family is good for a husband and wife, it is good for the fulfillment of love, to which every human being is called in the depths of his/her heart. The subsequent contribution aims to emphasize that the perception of love and the respect to the One, from whom all love comes are the right approaches to maintain the stability in a relationship and to help personal evolution of a human being.

Pomoc Kościoła w kształtowaniu dojrzałości ludzkiej małżonków i rodziców. Aspekt pastoralny

Author(s): Adam Skreczko / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2011

Mature individual creates a family community, in which two people, sharing one human nature and equal in their dignity, are united in the sacrament of matrimony and become one body. The maturity of people destined to be man and wife and then parents is closely related to their Christian maturity. Consequently, the formation of an individual who wishes to live in a family has to take into account the two above-mentioned aspects. As ‘well understood’ maturity is gained in a well functioning family, the author discusses the family duties and the supporting role of the Church. The article is an attempt to present some pastoral suggestions to improve the present situation in this field. One of the most important aspects of maturity is the concern for the life in faith.

Zrelosť vo viere ako faktor stability katolíckeho manželstva a rodiny

Author(s): Ladislav Csontos / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 1/2011

In this contribution we will point out casual interdependence between the stability of the Catholic marriage and family and that of the maturity in faith. As a starting point we will get use of the comparison of results of the empirically obtained marriage and family value depending on the faith factors with the faith development from ancestral children’s faith towards a personal belief of the adults. Furthermore, we will point out the important moments of the faith crises which are at the same time a chance for its growth and maturing in personal life as well as in the life of basic human society represented by marriage and family. We will emphasise especially the importance of common growth in faith and in the ability to forgive. Finally, faith turns into love in which the commandment of love for God and for the neighbour are connected. For when we love our brothers, we love the Lord Himself.
