Preliminary Study: Taiwanese mothers’ experiences of children with sensory processing disorder
No full text[[abstract]]Background:
Different cultural backgrounds and parental experiences influence parenting styles and approaches to raising children with disabilities. Family-centered care should consider parental, especially main caregivers, experiences with their disabled children. In Taiwan, in most of homes, mothers are the main caregivers.
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to explore Taiwanese mothers’ experiences with their children who have sensory processing disorder.
Methods:
This study used a qualitative ethnographic design and semistructured interview format. Transcripts were analyzed and synthesized into themes.
Results:
Three mothers were interviewed. The following three themes emerged: (a) relationships within the shared worlds of disability and culture, (b) daily life challenges and expectations, and (c) opportunity to receive professional services. These Taiwanese mothers expressed that they experienced stress from being blamed for insufficient skills and from the shame of their children’s disabilities that reflected lack of teacher, friend, and other family members’ understanding of the cause of their children’s inappropriate behaviors. Their children experienced difficulties performing daily activities, which resulted in stresses on both the mother and her child. The interviewed mothers needed to receive timely, long-term services from healthcare professionals. However, hospitals are inadequately staffed with occupational therapists, which delays care for children with special needs.
Conclusion:
Taiwanese mothers experience stresses from themselves, their child, and others. Healthcare professionals should apply a family-centered service approach to fulfill the needs of mothers and their disabled children. Moreover, healthcare professionals should promote greater awareness of sensory processing disorder symptoms and interventions to increase public awareness and acceptance of these children

Language and Culture
Full text linkLanguage pervades social life. It is a primary means by which we gain access to the contents of others\u27 minds and establish shared understanding of the reality. Meanwhile, there is an enormous amount of linguistic diversity among human populations. Depending on what counts as a language, there are 3,000 to 10,000 living languages in the world, although a quarter of the world’s languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers and half have fewer than 10,000 (Crystal, 1997). Not surprisingly, a key question in culture and psychology research concerns the role of language in cultural processes. The present chapter focuses on two issues that have received by far the greatest amount of research attention from cultural researchers. First, how does language and human cultures co-evolve? Second, what are the non-linguistic cognitive effects of using a certain language? Does speaking different languages orient individuals to see and experience the external reality differently? The scope of the present chapter does not permit a comprehensive review of all pertinent research; only a selected sample of studies will be used to illustrate the main ideas in the present chapter
Honte à toi ! Honte à toi ! A propos du caractère chi "honte, avoir honte"
No full textYau Shun-chiu - « Honte a toi ! honte a toi ! A propos du caractère chi " honte, avoir honte" ».
The article is an illustration of a kinetics approach to the Chinese ancient picto-ideogram chi "shame" in connection with certain conventional gestures or corporal behaviors, some of them still practiced today. It is probably the first article entirely devoted to this theme. It will be shown that the formation of this character was motivated by gestures and thus reveals that the history of these gestural behaviors goes back to ancient times. This provides us with some hints about the conception of the gesturo-oral dichotomy in ancient China. Supporting evidence has been drawn from gestures observed in cultural areas other than China. This study has been made accessible to readers who are unfamiliar with sinology but ready to go beyond the boundaries of traditional linguistics.On étudie la cinétique des anciennes formes du caractère chinois chi "honte, avoir honte" en rapport avec des gestes ou comportements corporels conventionnels, dont certains sont encore pratiqués actuellement. Il sera démontré que la formation de ce caractère a été motivée par des gestes et que l'histoire de ces comportements gestuels remonte à une époque ancienne. Nos analyses jettent quelques lumières sur la conception de la dichotomie gesturo-orale de l'ancienne Chine. Des preuves supplémentaires nous ont été apportées par des gestes observés dans des aires culturelles extérieures à la Chine. Cette étude est accessible à des lecteurs étrangers à la sinologie mais assez curieux pour s'aventurer hors des frontières de la linguistique traditionnelle.Shun-chiu Yau. Honte à toi ! Honte à toi !
