Adaptation Of Children Research Articles

КОМБИНИРОВАННЫЙ ПОДХОД ДЛЯ РАЗВИТИЯ КОММУНИКАТИВНЫХ НАВЫКОВ У МЛАДШИХ ШКОЛЬНИКОВ

The development of communication skills in primary school students is an integral part of the child's adaptation to society. In our work, we explored the possibility of combining gaming technology with the preparation of conference materials and presentation of a report. As a result, positive dynamics of such communication skills as the ability to enter into a dialogue on time, the ability to maintain a dialogue, the ability to end a conversation and the ability to navigate a communication situation were noted.

The Impact of Turkish Cypriot Folktales on Middle School Students' Social Skills

Folktales, as products of oral culture, play a significant role in supporting children's language development during their preschool and primary school years. They facilitate children's adaptation to social and cultural environments and contribute significantly to their cultural and educational lives. Additionally, folktales enhance children's social skills, including critical thinking, communication, problem-solving, planning, analysis, and coping with stress. This study aims to investigate how Turkish Cypriot folktales influence the social skills of middle school students. This research highlights the potential of folktales in enhancing children's social skills. A mixed-methods research design was employed to measure the impact of Turkish Cypriot folktales on middle school students' social skills. The study group consists of 56 students attending a private school in the Northern Cyprus. The quantitative data collection tool used was the "Matson Evaluation of Social Skills in Children (MESSY)" scale, and two open-ended interview questions created by the researchers were administered. According to the quantitative data, the intervention of teaching social skills with Cyprus Turkish folktales did not statistically make a difference on the experimental group students. However, the qualitative data revealed that according to the expressions of the participating students, Cyprus Turkish folktales have increased their awareness of social skills such as problem-solving, planning, analysis, and coping with stress.

Attitude of adoptive and biological parents to tactile interaction with children

Introduction. The problem of children's adaptation to foster families remains relevant for many years all over the world. However, there is now evidence that humans have two tactile systems, one of which is social and is activated by slow, gentle touch. The idea arose that adoptive parents could be taught such touches using the example of a special massage. But for this you need to know the attitude of parents towards touch in principle. That is why the purpose of this study was to study parents’ attitudes towards tactile interaction with children. Methodology. 277 foster and biological parents (M=39.9; SD=7.6) completed a survey using Google Forms that included 48 statements scored on a psychometric Likert scale. The work used theoretical (analysis, comparison and synthesis), empirical (survey) and statistical (correlation, regression and factor analysis using the SPSS 21 software package) research methods. Results and discussion. Significant inconsistency was found regarding physical sanctions among all groups of respondents. Thus, by unanimously declaring a negative attitude towards punishing the children of other children, respondents allow this to happen to themselves (Ro=-0.603, p<0.001), which affects the personal impact of the child’s development (Ro=-0.508, p<0.001). All mothers reported detecting excessive tactile contact with the child (Ro=0.544, p<0.001). The 4-factor model shows an ambiguous attitude of respondents towards gentle, tactile interaction with both their children and parents in their own childhood (KMO=0.792; p<0.000; 63.1%). Signs of emotional burnout are observed in all parents, but are especially pronounced in adopted ones (p=0.007; R2 =0.056; DW=1.633; r=0.236). Conclusion. Before inviting parents to try massage based on gentle tactile interactions with children, it is necessary to provide training in methods of rewarding and punishing children within the family without violence. A burnout prevention program is needed for all parents.

Формування фізичної готовності до школи у дітей старшого дошкільного віку засобом спортивних ігор

An analysis of studies on the problem of forming physical readiness for school in older preschool children has been conducted. It is emphasized that physical readiness is fundamental for a child's successful adaptation to the school environment. It includes the development of motor skills, coordination, endurance, and strength, which are crucial for a child’s ability to perform various school tasks, from writing letters to participating in active games during breaks. Insufficient physical preparedness can lead to difficulties in mastering the school curriculum, decreased attention span, quick fatigue, and even health problems. Therefore, it is essential to develop the necessary physical qualities in children before they start school. It has been established that sports games are an effective tool for ensuring the physical readiness of older preschoolers for school. Games help develop coordination, strength, endurance, and flexibility, which are important for comprehensive physical development. The aim of the study is to determine the impact of sports games on the formation of physical readiness for school in older preschool children. At the initial stage of the study, generalized results of the level of physical readiness for school revealed that only 20% of children in the experimental group (EG) and 16% in the control group (CG) showed a high level of readiness, 58% of children in the EG and 52% in the CG showed a medium level, and 22% of children in the EG and 31% in the CG showed a low level. It was noted that the initial level of physical readiness for school in children from both the experimental and control groups was approximately the same at the beginning of the formative stage of the study. During the research, a system was developed and tested, aimed at enhancing the level of physical readiness for school in older preschool children, with active use of sports games elements. The proposed system of work involved organizing activities with children through play and was implemented sequentially across three interrelated stages: introductory, active, and creative. By the end of the study, the results in the CG and EG were as follows: a high level of physical readiness was shown by 46% of children in the EG and 24% in the CG, a medium level by 42% in the EG and 52% in the CG, and a low level by 12% in the EG and 24% in the CG.

Playing to Survive: Children and Innovation During the Little Ice Age in Greenland

Greenland is the world's largest island, but only a narrow strip of land between the Inland Ice and the sea is inhabitable. Yet, the Norse chose to settle here around ad 986. During the eleventh century ad, precontact Inuit people moved into Greenland from northern Alaska via Canada. Although the two cultures faced the same climatic changes during the Little Ice Age, the Inuit thrived, while the Norse did not, for multiple causes. The authors focus on one of these causes, the hitherto overlooked contribution of young children's learning strategies to societal adaptation. The detailed analysis of a large corpus of play objects reveals striking differences between the children's material culture in the two cultures: rich and diverse in the precontact Inuit material and more limited and normative in the Norse. Drawing on insights from developmental psychology, the authors discuss possible effects of play objects on children's future adaptability in variable climatic conditions.

Differences in Social Adaptation of Rural Children between Different Family Socioeconomic Status: The Coupling Effect of Family Intimacy and Social Support

This study analyzes the influence of family social-economic status on children's social adaptability in rural areas and analyzes its mechanism. Based on the survey data of rural children on social adaptation, this study examined the mediation effect of family intimacy and social support between family SES and social adaptation. Results: ① Children with different family socioeconomic status showed differences in family closeness, social support and social adaptation scores; ② Rural children showed a positive correlation between family socioeconomic status, social support and social adaptation(r = 0.178-0.62, P <0.001); ③ family closeness and social support played some intermediary role in family socioeconomic status and social adaptation, with the mediation effect values were 0.290 and 0.250 respectively;④ Family closeness and social support played a chain mediation role between family SES and social adaptation, with an effect value of 0.256. Under the objective conditions of rural families social and economic status, it is particularly important and necessary to promote the intimate relationship within families and strengthen the construction of social support network for rural children for their healthy growth and improve their social adaptability.

Effects of Cognitive Flexibility, Prosocial and Problem Behaviours, Parenting Style and Social Support on Social Adaptation Among Children With Leukaemia: A Structural Equation Modelling Approach.

Leukaemia children often encounter various social adaptation issues stemming from changes in their living environment. Identifying and optimising the factors associated with social adaptation is crucial in improving social adaptation in children with leukaemia. To investigate social adaptation in children with leukaemia and to clarify the impact pathway of cognitive flexibility, problem behaviour, prosocial behaviour, parenting style and social support on social adaptation. Using a convenience sampling method, 264 leukaemia children completed a cross-sectional survey. Data were collected using the Social Adaptation Assessment Scale for Children with Leukaemia, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, Cognitive Flexibility Scale, Short-Egna Minnenav Barndoms Uppfostran and Multi-Dimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Structural equation modelling was used to test the influencing factors of social adaptation. Social support directly influenced social adaptation (β = 0.19, p < 0.01) and indirectly influenced social adaptation through prosocial behaviour (β = 0.06, p < 0.01) and problem behaviour (β = 0.18, p < 0.01). Prosocial behaviour (β = 0.17, p < 0.01) and problem behaviour (β = -0.61, p < 0.01) directly influenced social adaptation. Negative parenting directly influenced social adaptation (β = 0.12, p < 0.01) and indirectly influenced social adaptation (β = -0.23, p < 0.01) through problem behaviour. Our finding indicated that there are prominent social adjustment problems in the recovery process of children with leukaemia. These findings suggest that targeted education is needed to enhance social adaptation among children with leukaemia. The final model should serve as a framework to guide intervention research targeting social support and negative parenting to improve the social adaptation of children with leukaemia. During the recovery process, nurses need to regularly follow up on the children's social adaptation and encourage them to participate in social activities to increase social support while providing family guidance based on improving parenting styles. The subjects of this study were children with leukaemia aged 8-18 years. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.

Functional Ego States in Treatment-Resistant Depression in Japan Evaluated Using Two Different Self-Rating Questionnaires

Treatment-resistant depression (TRD), defined as inadequate results after treatment with at least two antidepressants for 8 weeks, may be attributed to multiple factors, including the patient’s personality. In this research, we explored personality profiles based on egograms among 28 outpatients (22 men, 6 women) with TRD. Participants completed two self-questionnaires: the Tokyo University Egogram (TEG) and the Self Grow-up Egogram (SGE). Personality profiles showed the mean energy distribution among five ego states: Controlling Parent (CP), Nurturing Parent (NP), Adult (A), Free Child (FC), and Adapted Child (AC). In all 28 patients, the TEG and the SGE revealed a trough of FC and a peak of AC. SGE results showed a negative correlation between the Hamilton Rating Scale for depression score and FC energy. When patients were separated according to CP, egograms revealed low Adult energy in the low CP group and high Adult energy in the high CP group. Overall, this study indicated low FC energy and high AC energy in TRD and revealed two types of personalities with either low CP/low Adult energy or high CP/high Adult energy. These results should be considered in TRD therapy.

Effects of Parental Childhood Maltreatment on Children's School Adaptation: An Intergenerational Perspective Based on Envy.

Previous studies have examined the impact of maternal childhood maltreatment (CM) on children's school adaptation (SA), neglecting the role of fathers, and the joint influence of both parents. Based on family systems theory, this study explored the intergenerational impact of parental CM on children's SA and the mediating role of benign envy (BE) and malicious envy (ME). A total of 334 elementary school students' BE, ME, and SA statuses and their parents' CM, BE, and ME statuses were collected to construct the intergenerational transmission models of BE and ME for fathers, mothers, and parents, respectively. The results revealed that maltreated fathers or mothers individually exerted negative impacts on their children's SA, but when parents acted jointly, only fathers' CM intergenerational influence was significant. Mediation effects demonstrated that, individually, maltreated fathers indirectly affected children's SA through children's BE; maltreated mothers impacted children's SA through the "mothers' BE→children's BE" mediating chain; however, when taking combined parental action, only mothers' intergenerational transmission chain was significantly present. Identifying different intergenerational influence mechanisms of maltreated parents on offspring's school adaptation broadens our understanding of the diverse parenting roles of parents. That is, fathers foster their offspring's environmental adaptability through encouraging external exploration, while mothers enhance socialization by nurturing internal emotional development. Formulating strategies to address the emotional issues of maltreated parents, especially mothers, is crucial for mitigating the intergenerational consequences of maltreatment and enhancing the offspring's adaptability.

유아의 자기통제가 적응과 부적응에 미치는 영향에 대한 다층메타분석

The present study conducted a multi-level meta-analysis of studies published in Korea between 2012 and August 2022 to examine the effect of self-control on adjustment and maladjustment among young children. A total of 196 studies were analyzed, including 110 master's and doctoral theses and 86 journal articles using the metafor package in the RStudio 43.1 software program. The number of samples included was 51,102 young children. Among the results of this meta-analysis are the following. First, in the analysis testing for the effects of self-control subdomains (self-regulation, intentional control, immediate gratification, emotional regulation, emotional dysregulation), the effect of self-control on children's adaptation showed a large effect size, and it showed a medium-sized effect on children's maladjustment. Second, the next step involved a series of meta-analyses to identify the effect sizes of self-control subdomains on adjustment subdomains. Among young children, self-regulation had the largest impact on play immersion, and among children, it had the largest impact on leadership. Emotional regulation had the greatest impact on young children's externalizing behavior problem and game addiction. Third, there was no moderating effect of self-control on the adjustment and maladjustment of young children depending on the publication type. However, there was the moderating effect depending on the year of publication. In conclusion, it had implications in that it provided a direction for follow-up research on self-control and provided evidence that can be used for education, counseling, and policies to intervene with self-control.

Comparative Study of Adjustment of Boys and Girls at the Secondary Level

Education is the capacity to navigate and fulfill one's existence. How well a young person adapts to various environments determines their level of success in life. The child's adaptation is influenced by several aspects, such as domestic, social, educational, and financial adjustment. The objective of the investigator is to do a comparative analysis of the adaptation of secondary school pupils. The investigation was done utilizing the survey methodology. The investigator utilized a standardized inventory to assess the adjustment of secondary school students. The study employed percentage analysis and a t-test as statistical approaches.The investigation indicated that the level of adjustment among secondary school pupils is moderate. A notable disparity was seen in the emotional adaptation of boys and girls, whereas no significant distinction was detected between male and female secondary school pupils in terms of their adjustment in the family, social, educational, and financial domains.

The mutual influence of parent-child maladaptive emotion regulation on posttraumatic stress following flood exposure.

Decades of disaster research support the influence parents have on their children's adaptation. Recently, research has shifted to focus on disasters as a whole family experience. Using the actor-partner interdependence model, this study examines maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies in parents and children and how these strategies influence their own and one another's posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). The present study includes 485 parent-child dyads who experienced the 2015-2016 Texas floods. The majority of parents identified as mothers (66.3%), with a male child (52.8%) whose average age was 13.75 years. Mplus was used to identify the models and evaluate differences between each cognitive emotion regulation strategy across parent-child dyads in the high disaster exposure group compared to all other levels of exposure (other-exposure). Odds ratios examined differences not captured by the actor-partner interdependence model. Support for interdependence was found for the other-exposure group, suggesting parents and children mutually influence each other's PTSS by their own cognitive emotion regulation. No interdependence was found in the high-exposure group. However, high-exposure child actor effects were found for self-blame and other-blame, and child partner effects were only found for self-blame. Parent actor effects were only significant for catastrophizing and parent partner effects for catastrophizing and rumination. Odds ratios for the high-exposure group found that only child self-blame influenced parent PTSS, and only parent rumination and catastrophizing influenced child PTSS. Implications for supporting families after disasters are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Enhancing Cooperation in 5-6-Year-Old Rural Chinese Children through Cooperative Constructive Play Based on Anji Play: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

Cooperation plays a crucial role in children's social development and adaptation. This study designed a cooperative constructive play (CCP) intervention based on the Anji Play teaching model and evaluated its effectiveness in a quasi-experimental design involving 60 rural Chinese children aged 5-6 years. Participants were divided into an experimental group, which engaged in 12 weeks of CCP, and a control group, which continued with regular teaching activities. The cooperation data were collected through a truck racing task using pre-, mid-, post-, and follow-up tests, while the cooperation levels and strategies were evaluated by video observations of role-playing games before and after the tests. The results indicated significant improvements in cooperation scores in both the truck racing task and role-playing games in the experimental group compared to the baseline, with no similar enhancements observed in the control group. Furthermore, cooperation scores in the follow-up were higher than pre- and post-test scores, demonstrating the CCP's effectiveness in fostering child cooperation, transferability to other contexts, and sustainability. These findings suggest that CCP intervention based on Anji Play can significantly enhance cooperation in children, offering a valuable tool for educational practices.

Conclusion: caregivers are capable of improving perception, adaptation reactions, physiological delivery, supporting the child's adaptation process based on interdependence, and helping the child adapt to self-conceptions, roles, and functions.

The Psychological Impact of Divorce on Children in Manado City, North Sulawesi

Divorce is a complex life event that often has significant impacts, especially on the psychological well-being of children. This research aims to deeply explore the psychological impact of divorce on children in Manado City, North Sulawesi. Through a qualitative approach, we conducted in-depth interviews with 20 informants, including children, divorced parents, and judges from the Manado Religious Court. The results of the study indicate that divorce affects not only the physical and social aspects of children but also significantly impacts their emotional state. Children who are victims of their parents' divorce often experience deep feelings of loss, uncertainty about their family's future, and confusion about the causes of the divorce. Emotional conflicts also arise in children who are victims of divorce, such as feelings of guilt, anger, sadness, and prolonged anxiety. These psychological impacts are then reflected in various aspects of the child's life, including a decline in academic performance, lack of motivation to study, and deviant behaviors such as drug use or engaging in promiscuous activities. In facing these challenges, it is crucial for children to receive adequate social and psychological support. Therefore, the roles of family, government, schools, and the surrounding community in providing appropriate support and facilitating children's adaptation to their parents' divorce are very important. Support from various parties can help children who are victims of divorce in their psychological recovery.

학부모 학교참여 휴가제 도입에 관한 학부모의 인식연구

The purpose of this study was to examine the current status of parents' participation in school and their perception of the School Activities Leave system for the introduction of the parent School Activities Leave system. The survey was conducted with 12,000 parents of kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools in Gyeonggi-do. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS Statistics 28.0 program, which included frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, and cross-tabulations. Additionally, text mining and emotional analysis were conducted using Orange 3 software to analyze further opinions on the parent School Activities Leave system. The survey results regarding the current status and perception of school participation are as follows. Firstly, approximately 78% of parents participated in their children's school events or meetings last year, with about 65% participating more than once a semester. This suggests a quantitative foundation for participation, but qualitative improvements are needed. Secondly, around 85% of respondents identified mothers as the main participants in parents' school involvement, reflecting a persistently high perception of women's attendance at their children's schools. Thirdly, parents recognized that participation in school would generally have positive effects, such as children's adaptation to school life and improvement of self-esteem. Nevertheless, over 70% of respondents cited lack of time as a barrier to participation, highlighting the ongoing need for time management solutions. Lastly, 86.5% of surveyed parents expressed a need for the introduction of a parental School Activities Leave system, underscoring a direct demand for such a system. Text mining analysis of additional opinions on the parent School Activities Leave system revealed a predominantly positive perception, as evidenced by the prevalence of positive words and emotions in comparison to negative ones.

The Influence of Gifted Children's Stress Management on Parental Stress Levels.

This study explores the associations between gifted children's stress management and parental stress level. A sample of 78 primary school children and their 76 parents took part in this study. Children were screened for intelligence and emotional quotients, while parents were tested for stress levels. Results show that the more children are aware of their stress-management skills, the less parents are stressed out. Moreover, the intelligence quotient is not significant in mediating this association, supporting the idea that it is not an a priori protective factor from a developmental perspective. The study findings suggest that when a child is equipped with the skills to handle stress by harnessing their emotional intelligence, it can have a beneficial effect on the entire family's well-being. Given that these skills can be developed, and the significant positive influence they have on a child's growth and adaptation, it is essential to offer specialized educational programs to gifted children. These programs should aim to enhance their emotional skills, which, in turn, can indirectly bolster the psychological health of the family unit as a whole.

Overheated children's playgrounds in Central European cities: The effects of surfaces and shading on thermal exposure during hot summer days

Thermal exposure in children's playgrounds is a specific issue in relation to outdoor thermal comfort. In moderate climate regions, playgrounds are prone to overheating on hot summer days. When aiming for a safe design for playgrounds, different thermal conditions with various active surfaces and shading solutions, both natural and artificial, should be considered. Twelve case studies were performed in four Czech cities to quantify the differences in thermal exposure between individual types of active surface and shading, using mean radiant temperature and the biometeorological indices UTCI and PET (plus its experimental child-specific adjustments) as an expression of the thermal environment on hot summer days. The highest thermal exposure appeared above gravel, followed by rubber. Nevertheless, apart from a slightly lower thermal exposure above maintained lawn, substantial positive microclimatic effect of natural surfaces, such as bark mulch, sand, or a small water pool, was not confirmed. In terms of shading, trees provide more pronounced cooling effect than shade sails, but even the latter are effective in substantially reducing heat stress. Analyses of experimental adjustment of PET further indicate the importance of considering the specifics of a child's organism and behavioural adaptation measures when addressing thermal comfort and heat stress in playgrounds.

경계선 유아에 대한 유아교사의 FGI 분석

The purpose of this study is to explore early childhood teachers' perceptions of borderline infants. To this end, seven early childhood teachers currently working at early childhood education institutions were analyzed using FGI (Focus Group Interview) to identify which infants are recognized as borderline infants, what difficulties they have in their relationship with borderline infants, and what they think are the ways to help borderline infants adjust to kindergarten smoothly.&#x0D; As a result of the study, first, as implications for borderline infants, early childhood teachers considered ‘unbearable ambiguous infants’, ‘infants who cannot communicate at all’, and ‘infants who have difficulty establishing social relationships’ as borderline infants. Second, the necessary conditions for borderline infants were ‘the teacher's ungiving mind’, ‘communication and cooperation with guardians’, and ‘support systems inside and outside kindergartens’. The results of this study can be used as basic data to find ways to support young children's adaptation to kindergarten by understanding the meaning teachers experience in the process of guiding borderline infants in the kindergarten field.

부모의 양육 스트레스 및 성취압력과 초등학교 고학년 아동의 학교적응 간의 구조적 관계

Difficulties in adapting to school in the upper grades of elementary school can lead to interpersonal conflicts and psychological problems, leading to social maladjustment in adulthood as well as in middle and high school. This study attempts to examine the mediating effect of self-esteem in the relationship between parental parenting stress, achievement pressure and children's school adaptation. For this purpose, 1,217 sixth graders(615 boys and 602 girls) in the 13th year(2020) data from PSKC(KICCE) were studied. The results of the study analyzed the structural equation model. First, parental parenting stress had a significant impact on children’s self-esteem and school adaptation, achievement pressure has a significant impact on children’s self-esteem, and children’s self-esteem had a significant impact on school adaptation. But achievement pressure was found to have no significant impact on children's school adaptation. Second, the impact of parental parenting stress on children's school adaptation showed a significant indirect effect through children's self-esteem, and the impact of achievement pressure on children's school adaptation showed a significant indirect effect through children's self-esteem. This is significant in that it presented a theoretical basis for the importance of parental education to reduce parenting stress and help parents adapt to school for senior elementary school children entering adolescence.
