Teacher–child relationship building (TCRB) is a play-based professional development programme adapted from kinder training and filial therapy. Intended for early education teachers and students, TCRB is designed to strengthen the teacher–child relationship, improve student behaviour, enhance academic involvement and develop teachers' classroom management skills. In the current study, we utilised a phenomenological approach to examine teachers' perceptions of the initial implementation of TCRB through identifying individual and collective perspectives in the summation of themes. Findings indicated that the teachers perceived the TCRB model to be informative, well organised, appropriately structured and effective in enhancing teacher–child relationships, improving classroom management skills and reducing behavioural problems among child participants. Limitations of the study, implications and suggestions for future research are discussed. 相似文献

This article explores the patient experience of medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) from an existentialist standpoint. Drawing on the work of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, I explore their concepts of existential situation, existential project, authenticity, and praxis. I then analyze the situation of MUS patients in the current cultural and institutional context, elucidating that a lack of explanation for their symptoms puts MUS patients in an existential bind. I illustrate the effects of the experience of MUS on patients’ existential projects. Last, I develop an ethical response in the existentialist tradition from the perspective of patients, providers, and society at large. I argue that there is a collective responsibility to foster conditions more conducive to authentic patient well-being and to improve the experience of patients with medically unexplained symptoms.
Recent research has demonstrated the malleability of self-views to subtle situational influence but has not uncovered features of the self-concept representation that make it susceptible to such change. Using research on attitude ambivalence as a foundation, the current article predicted that the self would be most likely to respond to a subtle change induction when the targeted self-beliefs were objectively ambivalent (e.g., possessed both positive and negative features). Using self-esteem conditioning (Experiment 1) and outgroup stereotype priming (Experiment 2), it was found that people were more susceptible to subtle change inductions as objective self-ambivalence increased. Notably, the consistency between dominant self-views (positive or negative) and the change induction did not influence these results. These effects held for objective ambivalence, but not subjective ambivalence, and only when the objective ambivalence measure was relevant to the change induction. Mechanisms of the observed moderation and the implications of self-ambivalence for understanding self-change are discussed. 相似文献
The present study was designed to evaluate the bidirectional relationships between parenting stress and child coping competence.
Data from a diverse sample of 610 parents enrolled in the parenting our children to excellence program was used to evaluate
whether parenting stress negatively contributes to affective, achievement, and social coping competence in preschoolers, as
well as whether child coping competence predicts parenting stress; after accounting for child disruptive behavior. Results
from cross-lagged panel analyses demonstrated a bidirectional relationship, such that parenting stress predicted later child
coping competence and child coping competence predicted later parenting stress. Assessment of ethnicity differences indicated
that child coping continues to have a long-term impact on parenting stress, regardless of parent ethnicity. The same relationship
did not hold for earlier parenting stress on later child coping competence, however, indicating a bidirectional relationship
for African American families, but not for their European American counterparts. The relationship between parenting stress
and child coping competence is discussed with respect to their conceptual and clinical implications. Suggestions for parent
training intervention and prevention programs are given. 相似文献
Family-to-family services are emerging as an important adjunctive service to traditional mental health care and a vehicle
for improving parent engagement and service use in children’s mental health services. In New York State, a growing workforce
of Family Peer Advocates (FPA) is delivering family-to-family services. We describe the development and evaluation of a professional
program to enhance Family Peer Advocate professional skills, called the Parent Engagement and Empowerment Program (PEP). We
detail the history and content of PEP and provide data from a pre/post and 6-month follow up evaluation of 58 FPA who participated
in the first Statewide regional training effort. Self-efficacy, empowerment, and skills development were assessed at 3 time
points: baseline, post-training, and 6-month follow-up. The largest changes were in self-efficacy and empowerment. Regional
differences suggest differences in Family Peer Advocate workforce across areas of the state. This evaluation also provides
the first systematic documentation of Family Peer Advocate activities over a six-month period. Consistent with peer specialists
within the adult health care field, FPA in the children’s mental health field primarily focused on providing emotional support
and service access issues. Implications for expanding family-to-family services and integrating it more broadly into provider
organizations are described. 相似文献
The authors proposed and tested a model in which data were collected from managers (n = 539) at 116 corporate-owned quick service restaurants to assess the structural and psychological empowerment process as moderated by shared-felt accountability on indices of performance from a managerial perspective. The authors found that empowering leadership climate positively relates to psychological empowerment climate. In turn, psychological empowerment climate relates to performance only under conditions of high-felt accountability; it does not relate to performance under conditions of low-felt accountability. Overall, the present results indicate that the quick-service restaurant managers, who feel more empowered, operate restaurants that perform better than managers who feel less empowered, but only when those empowered managers also feel a high sense of accountability. 相似文献
We investigated the impact of ingroup/outgroup categorization on the encoding of same-race and other-race faces presented in inter-racial and intra-racial contexts (Experiments 1 and 2, respectively). White participants performed a same/different matching task on pairs of upright and inverted faces that were either same-race (White) or other-race (Black), and labeled as being from the same university or a different university. In Experiment 1, the same- and other-race faces were intermixed. For other-race faces, participants demonstrated greater configural processing following same- than other-university labeling. Same-race faces showed strong configural coding irrespective of the university labeling. In Experiment 2, faces were blocked by race. Participants demonstrated greater configural processing of same- than other-university faces, but now for both same- and other-race faces. These results demonstrate that other-race face processing is sensitive to non-racial ingroup/outgroup status regardless of racial context, but that the sensitivity of same-race face processing to the same cues depends on the racial context in which targets are encountered. 相似文献
