The Lack of Privacy as a Stressor for Families in the Ministry
Get PDFThis thesis project examined the effects of the lack of privacy and congregational intrusion on femilies in the ministry. It was expected to find marital well-being related to privacy level within the home and congregational intrusiveness. It was also expected to find differences between ministers and their wives on reported Privacy and Intrusion scales and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS), specifically, women reporting more congregational intrusiveness, less privacy, and less marital satisfaction. The participants were 26 couples; comprised of a full-time, ordained, male clergy of Protestant churches (Baptist, n = 12, Methodist, n = 8, Church of Christ, n = 6) and a non-clergy spouse, with at least one child living at home. The mean age for the ministers was 41.3 years, and for the females was 40.0 years. Faimlies selected had been active in the ministry for 3 to 28 years, with the minimiim set at 3 years. The rese^cher contacted the volunteers via the telephone and solicited their participation. A brief information sheet was completed, and later the DAS, and a newly created Intrusion scale and Privacy scale was sent to the volunteers. Results indicated women who reported less privacy within the home also reported less marital satisfaction. No other significant relationships were found. No significant differences were found between reported male and female scores on any of the scales, or when examining scores as couples and splitting the sample into high and low groups. Implications of this research are increased understanding of the “glass house” effect, and wives perception of decreased marital satisfaction

Parents\u27 and Teachers\u27 Family Involvement Perceptions in Elementary Schools
Get PDFThe perceptions of X.I.S.D.\u27s teachers and parents are studied to understand why a negative teacher attitude, concerning family involvement, seems to dominate the district. Participants perceived limited parents\u27 support in special school activities, home tutoring, teacher-parent communications, preparing and organizing materials for teachers, and volunteering in committees that require parent representation. Parent participants that were experienced in the schools perceived parent involvement as assisting in the classrooms. Those individuals that perceived limited involvement probably get their attitudes in part from the concerns of administrators about parents\u27 criticism as well as their belief that the district is financially able to provide for all the needs of the district. The district does not support family involvement and does not provide family involvement training for their teachers. However, parent participants and their families enhanced in areas of communication, self-esteem, self-worth, careers, and education, because of their involvement in their children\u27s education. The literature review discusses the national parent involvement goal, benefits, barriers, and parents\u27 and teachers\u27 perceptions of family involvement
A Quest for Educational Equality
Get PDFGirls make up the majority of America\u27s school children. Many of them are falling behind academically because they are treated educationally as second-class citizens. Using a qualitative research approach, this paper uses conversations with young girls to gather insights about gender issues in today\u27s schools. Research suggests that sexist experiences subvert education, therefore, educational sexism must be eradicated
Anger Management for Adults
Get PDFEight adults participated in a 2 part anger management course in a quasiexperimental within-subjects outcome study. Anger was described with the Anger Cycle®. Cognitive, relaxation and social skills training were used to teach alternative strategies for expressing anger. The Anger Information Test (AIT) and the State Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI) were administered at pretreatment, posttreatment and follow-up (2 weeks later). Seven subscales of the STAXI were used; Trait Anger, Anger Temperament, Anger Reactivity, Anger In, Anger Out, Anger Control and Anger Expression. An overall significant within-subjects difference was found on .changes from both tests. Two of the 4 hypothesized changes were supported. The anger information level was significantly increase and Trait Anger was significantly reduced. Anger Out and Anger Control were not significantly changed. Nonhypothesized significant reductions were noted in Anger In, Anger Expression and Anger Temperament
