The Genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 in Context: Toward a Solution
No full textBased on Scripture as its own interpreter, the genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 have typically been compared in isolation, as the only two with begetting ages. Unfortunately, this type of exegesis has resulted in a stilted way of dealing with genealogy and history and has led to an unhealthy division among scholars who otherwise, typically inform each other’s scholarship. The approach in this study treats the Genesis 5 and 11 genealogies within their own contexts, in comparison respectively with the pre-Flood genealogy in Gen 4, and the post-Flood genealogy in Gen 10. Both pre- and post-Flood couplet genealogies have their same corresponding beginning and ending points. While the pre-Flood material is rather limited, the post-Flood material in the “Table of Nations,” is considerable, and yields a different story than the traditional approach. Instead, of a loose compilation, cobbled together late in the transmission of the book of Genesis, focusing on the first three generations of separate peoples, relegated into large territorial units, from the point of view of ancient Israel, we have found that these genealogical links, in each case, consist of peoples who participated in three great dispersions of the ancient world, and the places they later settled

Using Diverse Genres To Develop Emerging Readers
Get PDFStudents at the emerging level are at a critical point in their language development journey. They are learning how the words they say look on paper and how those words can convey meaning. Each genre contains different elements that will help build and strengthen emergent literacy skills. Different genres can be used to teach important literacy skills that emergent learners need to develop. Looking through the lens of emergent literacy we can find out which genres are best suited for developing different skills

The Correlation Between Perceived Maternal Parenting Style and Perceived Emotion Regulation in Seventh-day Adventists in Southern Brazil
Get PDFProblem.\
One\u27s ability to regulate his/her emotions utilizing coping mechanisms and dissuasive mental strategies is partly attained due to the correct functioning of innate biological systems and to life experiences that promote learning/training in this area (cf., e.g., Matsumoto & Hwang, 2012). The field of emotion regulation studies has extensively elaborated on a multivalent description of human emotional development, in which emotions are part of essential mental strategies for an individual\u27s conscious and unconscious goals in life (cf., e.g., Lang & Bradley, 2010; Levenson, 1999). Therefore, as a partly learned ability, one\u27s emotion regulation skills have been shown as positively correlated to a person\u27s caregivers\u27 practices in early life (Saarni, 1999), such as parental emotional responsiveness and absence of emotional withdrawal as a punishment measure (Chang, Schwartz, Dodge, & McBride-Chang, 2003; Thompson, 2014). The parental practices comprising the different parenting styles have increasingly been shown as influencing the mental development of children into adulthood and can potentially be positively correlated with one\u27s ability to regulate his/her emotions (Baumrind, 1996). Considering the relative lack of studies on such correlational dynamics in Brazil, especially among Seventh-day Adventists, the present study investigated the relationship between perceived emotion regulation and perceived maternal care and exigency in that group.
Method
Due to the need for assessing the potential correlation between two specific observed variables, namely, maternal parenting style and emotion regulation, in a group of Seventh-day Adventists in Southern Brazil, the present study adopts a quantitative, non-experimental, correlational design. The reason is the need for adopting a research design that can identify or suggest whether maternal parenting (comprised of maternal responsiveness and maternal exigency) is correlated to levels of emotion self-regulation. The bivariate correlational study design is tailored to explore the specific correlational coefficients between the variables (McMillan & Schumacher, 2014). The approach is comprised of the systemic and rigorous collection of data for studying the targeted population sample in a nonintervention condition. Data collection is anonymous and includes the individuals\u27 scores in two distinct instruments for measuring their self-perceived ideas about both observed variables. Perceived maternal parenting was measured by the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) and perceived emotion regulation was measured by the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) questionnaire.
Results
The demographic questionnaire showed the adequacy of the sample (N=207) to the originally proposed targeted population, being them all Seventh-day Adventist adults (18–34 years [57%]; 35–50 years [29%]; and above 50 years [13.5%]) currently residing in southern Brazil (Paraná [N=170]; Rio Grande do Sul [N=25]; and Santa Catarina [N=12]). The overall mean of the first observed variable (perceived levels of maternal responsiveness and exigency) was 70.72 (SD=14.76). As for the second observed variable (perceived levels of emotion regulation), the overall mean was 58.72 (SD= 16.14). A Cronbach\u27s alpha test for internal consistency or reliability found ɑ \u3e 0.9 for both PBI (ɑ=0.91) and DERS (ɑ=0.96) sets of answers, pointing to both tests\u27 answer items as highly intercorrelated. Accordingly, a Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was calculated for measuring the linear correlation between the two observed variables. The achieved Pearson correlation coefficient (r=0.42) pointed to a positive linear correlation between the observed variables. Additionally, in the test, p, or the Sig. (2-tailed) index, was less than .001, thus further pointing to the rejection of the null hypothesis. Thus, as r = 0.42 (p \u3c .001), the null hypothesis was confidently rejected, thus confirming this study\u27s research hypothesis, enunciated as follows: there is a significant correlation between perceived levels of maternal responsiveness and exigency and emotion regulation in a group of Seventh-day Adventists in Southern Brazil .
Conclusions
The confirmation of the research hypothesis points to the significance of the proposed correlation also among this study\u27s targeted population sample, confirming academic studies suggesting the same dynamic among other population samples. The idea that a mother\u27s role regarding her child is positively correlated to his/her enhanced emotion regulation skills later in life among Brazilian Seventh-day Adventists allows suggesting that psychological and pedagogical interventions that facilitate maternal practices and attitudes promoting authoritative parenting among that group are desirable. Such an emphasis, on par with other populations, has the potential for fostering healthier emotion regulation skills among future generations of Seventh-day Adventists in Brazil. This conclusion suggests some follow-up research lines that can potentially deepen the current knowledge about the proposed correlation among Seventh-day Adventists. Thus, a focus on how or whether the pedagogical practices adopted within Seventh-day Adventists\u27 lifestyle and religiosity impact their outcome parenting could help in that regard
