The burgeoning world-wide consumer culture brings with it certain baggage. Materialistic attitudes and compulsive buying have
both been linked to lower levels of subjective well-being in consumers. Additionally, time is becoming an increasingly precious
commodity as denizens of the consumer culture increase their work load and activities in an attempt to fully achieve the happiness
promised by a lifestyle of consumption. The purpose of the present research is to investigate whether the negative impact
of materialism and compulsive buying on well-being is moderated by a person’s perceived time affluence (the time one perceives
he/she has available for life’s many activities). Using a large sample of adolescents (n = 1,329), the present study finds that (1) materialism and compulsive buying negatively impact subjective well-being, and
that (2) time affluence moderates the relationship between materialism and compulsive buying and well-being. Specifically,
perceptions of time affluence were found to negate the negative relationship between both materialism and SWB and compulsive
buying and SWB. And (3), the present research appears to have uncovered a “sweet spot” when it comes to the influence of time
affluence on the above relationships. Too little or too much time affluence was found to be associated with lower well-being.
A simple slope analysis suggests that moderate levels of time affluence are most conducive to our well-being as consumers.
In addition to discussing these findings, the authors also note certain limitations and offer directions for future research. 相似文献

This study is an adaptation and extension of Apfel and Seitz’s (Family Relations, 40(4), 421–429, 1991) models of adolescent parenting and adolescent-grandmother relationships to a sample of 148 African American,
first-time adolescent mothers and their 6-month-old infants. The Parental Supplemental model, in which adolescent mothers
and grandmothers shared caregiving, described 63% of Apfel and Seitz’s (1991) sample and 66% of the current sample. Shared
caregiving was not associated with conflict in the adolescent mother–grandmother relationship. Adolescent mothers who had
caregiving responsibilities and a supportive adolescent-grandmother relationship also reported competence in their parenting
role. Findings provide support for Apfel and Seitz’s Parental Apprentice model, in which young mothers gain competence through
direct caregiving experience in the context of a supportive relationship. 相似文献

Identity control theory (Kerpelman, Pittman, & Lamke, Journal of Adolescent Research, 12: 325–346, 1997) and the literature on possible selves (Markus & Nurius, American Psychologist, 41: 954–969, 1986) and family influences on adolescents’ vocational choices (e.g., Otto, Journal of Career Development, 27: 111–117, 2000; Whiston & Keller, The Counseling Psychologist, 32: 493–568, 2004) were used to guide this study of young women’s career aspirations. How mother–daughter and father–daughter
relationships were associated with young women’s certainty about their anticipated future careers was addressed with data
from 304 female undergraduates. Findings indicated that parent–daughter connectedness predicted the young women’s anticipated
distress, as well as their willingness to change to fit parental views should their parents disagree with their career aspirations.
In addition, anticipated distress mediated associations between willingness to change and connectedness with parents, and
between willingness to change and father–daughter career discussions. Discussing career goals with mother increased mother’s
influence, but decreased father’s influence, on daughter’s career certainty under conditions of father–daughter disagreement
about career choice. The ability to separate her own feelings from those of her father was particularly important in reducing
the daughter’s willingness to change her career goals to fit maternal or paternal expectations. Collectively, these findings
offer additional insights about the role of parent–adolescent relationships in understanding young women’s career aspirations
and note the importance of considering the distinct influences of mothers and fathers on their daughters’ career goals and
plans. 相似文献

A Prevalence Study on Internalizing Problems Among Primary School Children in Hong Kong 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Studies in Hong Kong indicated that there is a tendency for young children to use internalizing as a means to cope with their
daily difficulties. Mother–child relationship has been seen as a factor affecting a child’s adaptive coping skills. In this
study, we explored the prevalence of internalizing problems among primary school children in Hong Kong, as well as the mother–child
relationship that contribute to children’s internalizing problems. Data used to assess the internalizing behavior among 1598
primary school children were collected from their mothers. The estimated prevalence of internalizing problem was 11.4%. This
prevalence was based on the cutoff point for internalizing disorders according to the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). The
CBCL internalizing score was significantly correlated with mother–child relationship as measured using the Parent–Child Relationship
Questionnaire (PCRQ). Results from the PCRQ indicated that children’s internalizing problems were positively correlated with
mother’s use of verbal punishment and rejection as well as their possessiveness and protection on their children. On the other
hand, a nurturing and intimate relationship between mother and child was an important factor contributing to the development
of mentally healthy children. Implications of this study and suggestions for further research were discussed. 相似文献

Association of socially demanding kin relations, mother’s emotional support, behavioral control/monitoring, family organization
and psychological control with adolescent’s internalizing and externalizing problems were assessed in 200 economically disadvantaged,
African American mothers and adolescents. Demanding kin relations and mother’s psychological control were positively associated
with adolescent’s internalizing problems. Demanding kin relations also moderated the association of control/monitoring, family
organization, and psychological control, with internalizing. For mothers with more demanding kin relations, increased control/monitoring
was associated with increased adolescent internalizing. In comparison, increased control/monitoring was associated with decreased
adolescent internalizing for mothers with less demanding kin relations. Negative association of family organization with internalizing
was more apparent for mothers with more compared to less demanding kin relations. Positive association of mother’s psychological
control with internalizing was more apparent for mothers with more compared to less socially demanding kin relations. Demanding
kin relations and mother’s psychological control were positively associated with adolescent’s externalizing problems. Mother’s
emotional support and family organization were negatively associated with externalizing. Also, negative association of family
organization with externalizing was more apparent for families with more compared to less demanding kin relations. The need
for research on the factors associated with negative relation with kin was discussed. 相似文献

Parental overprotection and modeling of fearful behaviors have been proposed to play a central role in the development of
anxiety. Yet there have been few longitudinal examinations of these relationships and virtually none focusing on the adolescent
period. The current study measured adolescent perceptions of maternal anxious parenting (a combination of overprotection and
expression of anxiety), mothers’ levels of anxiousness, and adolescents’ anxiety symptoms in 421 girls in grade 7 and their
mothers. Measures were repeated 12 months later. When the adolescent’s self report of anxiety was used as the outcome, the
adolescent’s perception of maternal anxious parenting significantly predicted adolescent anxiety 12 months later. When the
mother’s report of adolescent anxiety was used as the outcome adolescent anxiety significantly predicted adolescent perceptions
of maternal anxious parenting 12 months later. Maternal anxiousness predicted the adolescent’s perception of anxious parenting,
but meditational relationships were not significant in either model. The data are partly consistent with reciprocal influence
models of parent/child relationships but point to the importance of informant perspectives in determining relationships between
these complex variables. 相似文献

Compulsive buying affects the well‐being of millions of consumers globally by resulting in depression, unmanageable debt, and lower satisfaction with life. This research examines the mechanisms that link aversive family events experienced in childhood to compulsive buying tendencies in early adulthood. The article develops a set of hypotheses derived from the main theoretical perspectives of the multi‐theoretical life course paradigm, and it uses a sample of 492 young adults to test them. The results suggest that social processes are the underlying mechanisms that promote the development of compulsive buying tendencies. Family disruptions reduce intangible family resources that then shape the nature of interactions with peers and parents. Peer communications in formative years are directly linked to both obsessive–compulsive and impulse‐control dimensions of compulsive buying in early adulthood. The study findings help interpret and integrate previous research streams on compulsive buying from different fields of social sciences. Implications of the findings are offered along with directions for further research. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The relationship between maternal ADHD symptoms and maternal language was examined in a community sample of 50 mothers of
infants age 3–12 months. It was hypothesized that higher maternal symptoms of ADHD would be related to lower quality of maternal
language use. Recordings of mothers’ speech were coded for complexity and elaboration of speech and vocabulary diversity during
an interview with an adult and during mother–infant play interactions in the home. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed
that maternal ADHD symptoms were significantly related to mothers’ lower mean length of utterances during the interview and
during mother–infant play interactions. Maternal ADHD symptoms were not related to maternal vocabulary use in either of these
situations. Our findings suggest that mothers with higher ADHD symptoms may display exiguous language behaviors when interacting
with their infants and with adults. In addition, findings suggest one reason why current parent-management programs for children
with ADHD, which are verbally based and rely heavily on the parent’s communication skills, are relatively ineffective when
ADHD may be present in the parent. 相似文献

An attempt was made to trace the source of discrepancy in adolescents’ mindset to the discrepancy in the mindset of their
parents. Ninety three respondents, 31 adolescents (girls 17, boys 14) and both their parents living together in an urban area
were interviewed with the help of the separately developed questionnaires that were designed to assess the extent of discrepancy
in their mindset. Some background information about the family was also collected. Discrepancy in the parents’ mindset was
the average of converged discrepancies rated by each parent, his or her spouse, and their adolescent son or daughter on the
items that were separately developed for the father and the mother. Coefficients of correlation among and between the ratings
of discrepancy in the father’s and the mother’s mindset indicated the convergent and discriminant validity of the measures.
Mothers manifested greater discrepancy in their thoughts and behaviour than fathers. Regression analysis showed that the magnitude
of discrepancy only in father’s mindset and convergence of discrepancy in mostly mother’s mindset contributed significantly
to the discrepancy in adolescents’ thoughts and behaviour. Daughters’ discrepancy was a function of their father’s magnitude
and mother’s convergence of discrepancy scores. 相似文献

Data were obtained from 46 mother-child pairs from the Child Behavior Institute (CBI) at the University of Tennessee. These
mother-child dyads were referred for psychological help because of the child’s aversive behavior. Child-parent interactions
were quantified using a multi-code, observational system. Correlational and multiple regression analyses (stepwise) were conducted
to find the best predictor of the child’s aversive behavior. Results showed that the child’s aversive behavior was significantly
correlated with the mother’s aversive, indiscriminate, and compliance behaviors. The regression analysis showed mother’s aversive
behavior to be the best predictor of the child’s aversive behavior. Moreover, our results seem to point out that the compliance
hypothesis is more effective in predicting child aversive behavior than the predictability hypotheses. It appears that since
the two hypotheses are dealing with similar processes, they are more complementary than oppositional.

This study investigates how mindsets (i.e., the beliefs that individuals have about the nature of human characteristics) are associated with compulsive buying behavior (i.e., the tendency to buy impulsively and obsessively). In particular, we test the relationships between consumer mindsets, three shopping motivations (deal proneness, social comparison, and hedonic motives) and compulsive buying. Based on a survey of 421 respondents conducted in China, our findings reveal the mechanism through which mindsets affect compulsive buying. The results show that when consumers believe in the consistency of personal traits (fixed mindset), they tend to be more vulnerable to deal offers and social comparison. These motivations increase the desire to seek hedonic pleasure, which is associated with a greater propensity for compulsive buying. However, when consumers believe that personal traits can be changed and developed (growth mindset), they seek hedonic pleasure in shopping, which result in a greater tendency to engage in compulsive buying. The present study adds to the existing body of knowledge by unveiling how different mindsets are associated with compulsive buying. In terms of practical implications, this study provides policy makers and marketers with a better understanding of the different motivations that lead to compulsive buying. 相似文献

A questionnaire probing the distribution of authorship credit was given to postdoctoral associates (“postdocs”) in order to
determine their awareness of the professional society’s ethical statement on authorship, the extent of communication with
their supervisors about authorship criteria, and the appropriateness of authorship assignments on submitted papers.
Results indicate a low awareness of the professional society’s ethical statement and that little communication takes place
between postdocs and supervisors about authorship criteria. A substantial amount of authorship credit given to supervisors
and other workers is perceived by the postdocs to violate the professional society’s ethical statement. 相似文献

A large body of research has been devoted to the study of family-of-origin (FOO) experience influences on future relationship
outcomes and processes. In addition, substantial information exists regarding the role relationship attributions play in connection
with relationship quality and stability. Yet, limited information has been forthcoming regarding how the FOO experience has
an influence on attributions made in romantic relationships. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to assess the
impact of the FOO experience on attributions made about one’s own communication and personality variables, as well as the
communication and personality variables of one’s partner from a sample of individuals who had completed the RELATionship Evaluation (N = 6,649). Results show evidence of a relationship between the FOO experience and the attributions made about oneself and
one’s partner. Results were particularly pronounced for the communication variables. Gender differences also were found. The
utility of study findings for couple and family researchers and practitioners is discussed. 相似文献

Novel and creative therapeutic modalities have been developed in an effort to increase motivation in family therapy for adolescents
and families. Many of these approaches incorporate experiential activities or “family play”, which provides a supplemental
approach to traditional talk therapy. Incorporating experiential activities into family therapy sessions has been shown to
increase engagement and enhance participation in therapy. Therefore, to understand how families view experiential activities
within family therapy, we interviewed nineteen adolescents (age 12–17) and their parents/caregivers who were receiving family
therapy augmented with experiential activities. We asked a series of open-ended questions to understand the families’ experiences
concerning how they initially felt about participating in family therapy and their perceptions of the experiential activities.
The activities involved experiential interactions and skill-building exercises that elicited active participation from all
family members and encouraged further discussions. Topics of these activities focused on problem areas the family had identified,
such as anger management, problem-solving, improving communication, substance use, expressing feelings, coping, etc. Results
showed that most caregivers and youth found the experiential activities helpful in creating positive family interactions and
developing communication skills. Caregivers and adolescents noted that the activities increased their desire to participate
in family therapy sessions and they were more motivated to engage in the treatment process. Clinicians using the methods discussed
in this intervention should be aware of the study’s limitations. Implications for clinical practice and research are discussed. 相似文献

The vast majority of new mothers experience at least some depressive symptoms. Postpartum maternal depressive symptoms can
greatly influence children’s outcomes (e.g., emotional, cognitive, language, and social development). However, there have
been relatively few longitudinal studies of how maternal depressive symptoms may influence children’s social skills. The current
study (n = 1363) examined the trajectory of maternal depressive symptoms (from 1 month to 36 months) and whether maternal depressive
symptoms at 1 month postpartum and the change in symptoms over time (from 1 month to 3 years) predicted children’s parent-
and teacher-rated social skills when they were 4.5 and 6.0 years old. A growth curve model indicated that, on average, maternal
depressive symptoms declined over time in a nonlinear fashion. Further analyses indicated that after controlling for five
demographic factors (child sex, family income, maternal age, mother’s marital status, and maternal education), initial maternal
depressive symptoms significantly predicted children’s social skills as reported by mothers. The results support the notion
that maternal depressive symptoms during children’s infancy can have long-term associations with children’s social skills.
In addition, the results emphasize the importance of intervention and prevention efforts targeting maternal depressive symptoms
during infancy, beginning immediately postpartum. 相似文献

Child-Directed Interaction: Prediction of Change in Impaired Mother–Child Functioning 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The first phase of parent–child interaction therapy (PCIT), called child-directed interaction, teaches parents to use positive and differential social attention to improve the parent–child relationship. This study examined predictors of change in mother and child functioning during the child-directed interaction for 100 mother–child dyads. The children were 3–6-years-old and diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder. After establishing that significant improvements occurred in mother report of child disruptive behavior, parenting stress, and parenting practices, these three variables were combined to form a latent impaired mother–child functioning construct. Structural equation models were examined using maternal demographic and psychosocial variables as predictors of impaired mother–child functioning before and after the child-directed interaction. Mothers’ self-reported daily hassles and depressive symptomatology predicted 74% of variance in impaired mother–child functioning before treatment. Mothers’ report of social support predicted impaired mother–child functioning after the child-directed interaction, with 57% of the variance accounted for in this longitudinal model. These findings suggest the importance of improving maternal social support during the initial phase of PCIT.

The association between happiness and social relationships was examined in 9- to 12-year-old children. Participants included
432 children and their parents. Children’s happiness was assessed using self-rating scales, parent’s ratings, and the Happiness
and Satisfaction Subscale from the Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale, Second Edition (Piers and Herzberg 2002). Children’s social relations were assessed with items from the Piers-Harris scale and questionnaires given to the children
and their parents. These items were grouped into two positive (i.e., family and friends) and two negative categories (i.e.,
negative relations with peers and behaving badly toward others). Variance in children’s happiness was partially accounted
for by positive social interactions involving the family (e.g., children agreeing that they are important members of their
family) and friends (e.g., parents reporting that their children visit with friends more frequently). Negative social interactions
also explained variance in children’s happiness including negative relations with peers (e.g., children agreeing that they
feel left out of things) and behaving badly toward others (e.g., children agreeing that they are often mean to other people,
and they cause trouble for their family). Demographic variables related to the family (i.e., number of siblings, age of parents,
and marital status of parents) were only weakly, or not at all, associated with children’s happiness. The results parallel
findings from the literature involving adults and adolescents; social relationships are significant correlates and predictors
of happiness. 相似文献

We investigate maternal attitudes toward corporal punishment and the attribution of blame to the child on the basis of data
gathered from a population survey of a representative sample of mothers and mother figures. A total of 3,148 women living
at least half of the time with a child participated in a telephone survey. The independent variables included in the multivariate
model predicting maternal attitudes and attributions include the child’s, the mother’s and the family’s characteristics and
social support. Results of the multiple regression analysis demonstrate the unique contribution of variables according to
the mother’s characteristics (mother’s sensitivity to the consequences of violence, mother’s experience of childhood violence
and parental stress related to child’s temperament). These results partially support the importance of prevention programs
that would reduce stress and increase the level of parental empathy through the means of parental training. 相似文献

The aims of the study were to estimate the prevalence rate of compulsive hoarding, and to determine the association between compulsive hoarding and compulsive buying in a nationally representative sample of the German population (N = 2307). Compulsive hoarding was assessed with the German version of the Saving Inventory-Revised (SI-R; Frost, R.O., Steketee, G., & Grisham, J. (2004). Measurement of compulsive hoarding: saving inventory-revised. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 42, 1163-1182.). The point prevalence of compulsive hoarding was estimated to be 4.6%. Individuals with compulsive hoarding did not differ significantly from those without compulsive hoarding regarding age, gender, and other sociodemographic characteristics. Significant correlations were found between the compulsive hoarding and the compulsive buying measures. Participants with compulsive hoarding reported a higher propensity to compulsive buying than respondents without hoarding. About two thirds of participants classified as having compulsive hoarding were also defined as suffering from compulsive buying. In summary, these results suggest that compulsive hoarding may be relatively prevalent in Germany and they confirm the close association between compulsive hoarding and compulsive buying through the investigation of a large scale representative sample. 相似文献

Using experimental, observational and interview-assessment methods, we examined relations among mother–child discussion skills
and suggested strategies for coping with postdivorce interparental conflict in a conflict task, children’s memory for those
strategies in a later recall interview, and children’s self-reported use of coping strategies in response to parental conflict
at home. Participants included 50, 9–12 year-old children (50% female, 11% Mexican-American, 81% Euro-American, 8% other)
and their mothers. Results indicated that the frequency of suggested coping strategies in the conflict task significantly
predicted children’s later recall of the same strategies, and recalled strategies significantly predicted children’s self-reported
use of the same strategies at home. Mothers’ and children’s discussion skills were less robust predictors of coping, except
for secondary control and disengagement coping at-home. Gender and age differences, though few, were consistent with existing
literature. 相似文献
