Transition to Parenthood and Susceptibility to Divorce: qualitative research of divorced young parents in Slovenia

Author(s): Nataša Rijavec Klobučar / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

Transition to parenthood is a vulnerable period for spouses and can consequently lead to the disintegration of their relationship. The purpose of this research was to examine the experience of this transition, circumstances and risk factors for divorce from the perspective of divorcees in Slovenia who divorced in the first year of their child’s life. On the basis of semi‑structured interviews with 15 divorcees, the findings of studies examining changes after the birth of a child were confirmed. The results pointed to risk factors for marriage, such as uncertain relationship between spouses prior to the childbirth, permeable boundaries in relations with families of origin, lack of practical and emotional support, and unreal expectations. The child’s arrival accentuates unsolved issues from the past and brings additional vulnerability to the relationship. The findings of this research are a contribution to the development of preventive, educative and therapeutic programmes for couples in transition to parenthood.

Migration: Dangers and Opportunities for the Family in the Light of John Paul II’s Messages for World Migrant Day

Author(s): Ireneusz Stolarczyk / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

The phenomenon of migration has become a subject of numerous sociological, economic and political analyses. It has also become an issue of interest for Catholic Social Teaching. The complexity of this subject, its topicality and a need for a diagnosis in the light of ethical and social rules are contained within the consecutive messages for the World Migrant Day by the Holy Father John Paul II. A particularly interesting dimension of the discussion of the phenomenon of migration is the analysis of this problem in terms of its influence on the modern family. John Paul II notices that owing to the dignity of the family and its significant role in the process of upbringing of the young generation, the decision to migrate by members of a family or entire families must be well thought‑out and carefully considered in the context of a necessity to undertake such steps. The necessity condition is related to a wide array of threats, which a family would have to face if they chose to take the migration path. The Pope also points out that migration is, at the same time, a justifiable opportunity for the development of a family, which should be provided ample assistance by the Church and state in a new environment.

Die Familie – Relikt der Vergangenheit oder Fundament der Zukunft?

Author(s): Zbigniew Waleszczuk / Language(s): English,German Issue: 1/2015

This article is a description of the current situation of the family from a Christian perspective and is divided into three chapters according to the method of the catholic social teaching: see judge, act. In the first part, a analysis of reality is presented, that is a sociological view of the situation of the family in the European countries. The outline of the situation of the family is shown in three dimensions (socio-cultural, political and economic). The second part briefly treats the Catholic teaching on the family, especially their social significance according to John Paul II.. The third part formulates practical conclusions to the question of what we can and should do to promote the family. It is the aim of Christian social ethics – as an instrument of evangelization - to draw adequate conclusions resulting in effective actions of Christians. It is about building bridges between theology and the challenges of the present. Without a doubt, the family is not just a relic of the past, as it was provocatively formulated in the title, but it is, and will continue to be, the foundation of the future.

The Importance of Family Support in the Process of the Adjustment of Current and Former Prisoners

Author(s): Iwona Niewiadomska,Stanisław Fel / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

The research presented in this paper seeks answers to two questions: What is the impact of perceived support from different actors (including family members) in a situation where problems are encountered in readapting those who have been punished by incarceration? What is the impact of perceived support from different actors (including family members) in achieving the objectives in readapting those who have been punished by incarceration? The answers to these questions are given on the basis of the results obtained by examining 296 men punished by incarceration, who on account of two criteria (location and level of adaptation), were divided into 4 groups: former prisoners with high levels of adaptation, current prisoners with high levels of adaptation, current prisoners with low levels of adaptation and former prisoners with low levels of adaptation. In the determination of the level of adaptation, in the overall result, the RISB Sentence Completion Test by J. Rotter was used, while the sources of support were studied, using the Social Support Rating Questionnaire by I. Niewiadomska.Based on these results, it may be concluded that perceived family support in overcoming problems and achieving goals – i.e. from the mother, father, siblings, fiancée/wife, relatives – does not contribute to a high level of adaptation, for those who been punished by incarceration, in both current and former prisoners. It is only low-intensely perceived help from one’s siblings and fiancée/wife’s life, which leads to a reduction of the capabilities for adaptation in people who are currently imprisoned.

Violent Computer Games Pose a Challenge to Education Today

Author(s): Gerjolj Stanko / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2011

Violent computer games are becoming an increasingly common phenomenon of leisure activities among children and the young. Most researchers and practical educators consider them a dangerous phenomenon that encourages violence in everyday life. A kind of cyclic round goes from children who, due to a lack of sensitive communication, quickly feel certain tensions and quench them by resorting to media violence where computer games take the lead in the modern environment. Educators suggest the creation of situations where children and adolescents can speak out and express their pain in different ways. An in-depth expression of children’s and adolescents’ experiences does not only change their feelings, but extends to the changes at the level of neurobiological functioning. Adults, especially parents, help children mostly in overcoming violence if, in sensitive communication, they radiate happiness with their own lives and the ability to solve problems and give signs of unconditional acceptance and love. In such communication, children and young people re-experience their parents and other educators as strong personalities and moral authorities whom they love and respect.

Family is an institution where the primary point of reference is the manner or pattern of behavior. It is also a continuous process of creation and perpetuation of patterns of behavior are responsible for the implementation of a way of life of individuals. One of the frequent conflicts of classification is the division because of their form, rational or irrational conflicts, antagonistic – non-antagonistic, explicit – implicit,organized – unorganized. The conflict may relate to the values that are common to the parties, or different. From the perspective of the family, the most important is the role of conflict of interest, although it added that this is not the only motive of disputes. Due to the effect that the emergence and development of the conflict has on the functioning of the family, there are two types: constructive and destructive conflict. It should be strongly emphasized that there is no such family in which there is no conflict. Of all the actions taken to reduce the amount of conflict and limit the negative effects of the most important is to educate parents about their own parental role. Knowing and adequate understanding of the role that should play to the child’s parents, is associated with a sense of responsibility for learning and healthy development of the child, as defined relationship to the child’s parents, understanding their needs, aspirations and ambitions. The size and nature of the occurrence of conflicts in the family influenced by a variety of factors are mutually conditioning. This situation forces us to take practical measures and solutions.

Author(s): Józef Młyński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2 (7)/2012

Man is a free being and possesses his dignity. Thus each act directed against man’s personal freedom is understood as an act of violence. Making a man do something contrary to his will is also violence. The analysis of statistics concerning family violence shows that this problem has been increasing over the last few years. Data showing the number of interventions connected directly with family violence done by the police indicate clearly that this number is growing yearly.Violence is a phenomenon really alarming today’s family, its scale is expanding and it concerns generally women and children. All organisations should start acting to prevent this phenomenon. These organisations include: courts, the police, social help offices and other societies. We have only one life and it should be protected and lived in dignity. Unfortunately, family home, which should be full of warmth,love and tolerance is sometimes a place of pain, suffering and tragedy. Its is good that social workers not only diagnose this problem but also help victims of family violence.

Family is one of the most important institutions through the history which is not only the basis of biological continuation of human beings but also source of psychological, social and economic supports for the individuals of the family unit.

Author(s): Danuta Borecka-Biernat,Gražina Čiuladienė / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

Whilst strategies preferences develop over a person’s lifetime, due to its proximal presence the parenting context is primary significant relational context where conflict resolution skills might being learned. While disciplining and guiding the child, nurturing the child‘s psychological, physical, social, and economic well-being parent provides child with a platform to learn how to deal with conflicts (Jonyniene et al., 2015; Missotten et al., 2016). The purpose of the study was to search for the family etiology of the strategies (aggression, avoidance, submission, problem solving) for coping with a social conflict situation by adolescents, the source of which is inherent in parental upbringing attitudes. D. Borecka-Biernat’s Questionnaire on studying strategies for coping with a social conflict situation by adolescents (KSMK) and Parental Attitudes Scale (SPR) by M. Plopa were applied in the research. The empirical research was carried out in junior high schools in Wroclaw and neighbouring towns. It comprised 493 adolescents (269 girls and 224 boys) aged 13-15. In the light of the research conducted, it was found that the adolescents’ aggressive way of reacting to emotional tension resulting from a social conflict situation is shaped by inappropriate upbringing attitudes of parents towards an adolescent child. The research results within the scope of the acceptance-rejection and autonomy attitude perception reveal their lower intensification in parents of adolescents who use aggression strategy. On the other hand, it is also possible to observe a higher result concerning the inconsistent and an over demanding attitude of adolescents’ parents who use aggression as a strategy for coping with a social conflict situation. It can be assumed that due to the attitudes observed in the mother and father, the adolescents who use the strategy of avoidance, submission, and task-oriented for coping with a social conflict situation constitute a homogeneous group. The research also indicates that appropriate parental attitudes are conducive to shaping adolescent’s habits of reacting to social conflict situations in the form of an active way out of difficulties.

KOMUNIKACIJA I POVRATNE INFORMACIJE IZMEĐU UČENIKA, NASTAVNIKA I RODITELJA

Author(s): Nejra Nesimović – Khedr / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 4/2011

This paper is devoted to an analysis of communication between teachers and students on one side and parents on the other side. From this analysis, the question arises how to improve communication between the main actors in the educational process and to actively involve parents in the educational process? There are many reasons that affect the establishment of good communication. The effective value of communication can be achieved only when the actors in the exchange of information primarily think about the importance of what they say, the impact of the spoken words as well as the level of established mutual understanding of different views and opinions. The initial level of professional training for proper communication starts through educational process, but the more important and influential level for developing a culture of communication among children is definitely family. In order for a better insight and understanding of the situation in our schools, a survey has been conducted whose results are given as an overview in the tables. An important finding of this study is that there is a need for greater participation of parents in the educational process. Also, research indicates that teachers need more cooperation with parents as well as a better cooperation and communication between teachers and students. Finally, research is useful for teaching practice, helps educators and psychologists detect problems in school and opens a series of questions for further research and action.

The theoretical part relates to the problem of homophobia in the family, the problem of the of homosexual identity and internalized homophobia as well as psychological stress, the difficulties of growing up and the psychological problem of LGBT teenagers, based on foreign studies.
