Moderating Effect of Self-Esteem on the Relationship between Depression and Family Conflict Coping Strategies in the Elderly with Chronic Diseases in Korea.

(1) Background: The elderly with chronic diseases often experience high levels of depression, which can negatively affect their family conflict coping strategies. Additionally, as the level of depression increases, self-esteem tends to decrease. This study aims to investigate whether self-esteem plays a moderating role in the relationship between depression and family conflict coping strategies among the elderly with chronic diseases. (2) Method: The subjects were 2501 older adults with chronic diseases included in the 16th Korean Welfare Panel Study. The CES-D scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the tool of Family Conflict Coping Strategies were used. (3) Results: Depression was negatively correlated with self-esteem and coping strategies for family conflict, while self-esteem was positively correlated with coping strategies for family conflict. In the multiple regression model, self-esteem had a moderating effect (F = 43.20, p < 0.001). This result indicated that as self-esteem increases, the negative influence of depression on family conflict coping strategies becomes weaker (β = -0.08, t = -3.04, p = 0.002). (4) Conclusions: When addressing family conflict coping strategies in the elderly with chronic diseases, it is crucial to focus on enhancing self-esteem. Additionally, it may be beneficial to classify the elderly into groups based on their level of self-esteem.

Relations between childhood emotional insecurity, self‐esteem, and adulthood marital conflict in South Korea

AbstractObjectiveThis study examined the reciprocal relationship between childhood emotional insecurity, later adult self‐esteem, and marital conflict in South Korean couples.BackgroundCurrent literature on intergenerational transmission of marital relationships lacks a dyadic perspective for understanding how spouses influence the relationship between childhood emotional insecurity and adulthood marital conflict.MethodThe actor–partner interdependence model was employed to test spillover and crossover effects using data from 210 South Korean couples with children age 3–5 years.ResultsChildhood emotional insecurity was associated with marital conflict in both women and men. Additionally, this relationship was mediated by lower levels of self‐esteem. However, the mediating effect was stronger for women than for men. Furthermore, women experiencing emotional insecurity during childhood positively affected their spouses' destructive marital conflict coping strategies through lower self‐esteem, whereas men's childhood emotional insecurity did not affect their spouses' destructive marital conflict through self‐esteem.ConclusionThis study provides strong evidence to explain the mechanism of intergenerational transmission in marital conflicts.ImplicationsFuture research on intergenerational transmission of marital relationships should consider the influence of the family of origin and the interactions between couples by considering the family as an interdependent dynamic system.

The Impacts of Work–Family Interface and Coping Strategy on the Relationship between Workaholism and Burnout in Campus Recreation and Leisure Employees

There is a lack of research on the work experiences of employees working within the recreation and leisure industry. The current study used a structural model approach to examine key concepts of workaholism, burnout, work–family interface, and coping strategies within the context of recreational employees. The study’s sample consisted of 466 campus recreation employees. Results show a positive, direct relationship between respondents’ workaholism and burnout. Results also show that the positive relationship between workaholism and burnout was significantly, partially (serial) mediated by work–family/family–work conflict and emotion-based coping strategies, but was non-significant by work–family/family–work conflict and task-focused strategies. This suggests our participants became dependent on emotion-focused coping strategies due to their work obligations and dedication to the job. Findings also suggest that employees within the recreation field are less likely to feel the negative associations of burnout from family–work conflict as compared to work–family conflict. This study advances previous findings by illustrating specific coping strategies and their impact on the relationship between workaholism and burnout. Results from the current study illustrate those employees who engage in emotion-coping strategies may experience higher levels of burnout as compared to those who utilize task-based coping strategies.

How do role conflict intensity and coping strategies affect the success of women entrepreneurs in Africa? Evidence from Ethiopia

ABSTRACT While the relation between role conflict and coping strategies, and between coping strategies and entrepreneurship, have received attention in the literature, the literature has neglected whether and how the level of intensity of conflict affects the choice of coping strategies. The literature has also neglected how such coping strategies affects entrepreneurs’ subjectively experienced success. This article addresses these neglected aspects. It does so by studying 204 women business owners based on a survey conducted in 2015–2016 in Addis Ababa. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), the structural relationships between role conflict, coping strategies, and entrepreneurial success is analyzed. It was found that women entrepreneurs’ coping strategies change when the level of role conflict intensity changes, and moreover that changes in coping strategies have different impacts on entrepreneurial success. Specifically, when the intensity of role conflict is relatively low, they cope by prioritizing their entrepreneurial roles, which affects financial success positively but nonfinancial success negatively. When the intensity of role conflict is relatively moderate, they cope by involving others or reacting to all roles, which positively affects both financial and nonfinancial success. However, when the intensity is relatively higher, they cope by prioritizing family and social roles, which affects nonfinancial success positively but financial success negatively. Practical implications and avenues for further research are noted.

The Impact of the Causality between Work–Family Conflict, Well–Being, and Leisure Coping Strategies on Tour Professionals

ABSTRACTThis study is to investigate the impact of the causality between work–family conflict (WFC), well-being, and leisure coping strategies on tour professionals, and to verify the regulating role played by leisure coping strategies. The results suggest that when a tour professional experiences a high degree of WFC, perceived well-being is reduced. Applying leisure coping strategies affects the well-being of tour professionals to a high degree, and significantly regulates the relationship between WFC and well-being. To emphasize the role of internal marketing, this study concludes that leisure coping strategies must incorporate measures that provide direct benefits to tour professionals.

Tuning in to the rhythm: The role of coping in strategic management of work-life conflicts in the public relations profession

How public relations practitioners cope with work-life conflict was studied through a national survey of a random sample of PRSA (Public Relations Society of America) members. These active practitioners reported strong preferences in using more proactive conflict coping strategies, such as rational action and positive thinking. Women and those with a graduate degree tend to report more coping behaviors than others. Three types of stressors are identified as sources of work-life conflict: behavior-driven, work-driven, and life-driven.According to our findings, while behavior-driven work-life stressors are associated with proactive coping strategies such as rational action and positive thinking, work-driven stressors tended to trigger more avoidance. Non-work driven stressors seem to predict more passive coping tendencies, such as denial and avoidance.Organizational factors are found to be important in understanding how practitioners cope with work-life conflict. As organizational demands increased to separate life from work, more instructions seemed necessary for employees to better cope with work-life conflicts. Positive thinking, as a type of cognitive coping, tends to increase when there is more immediate supervisor support and to decrease when an organization's work-life culture is skewed toward promoting work as the sole priority.

Impact of Communal Violent Conflict on Farmer’s Livelihood Activities in Two Agro-Ecological Zones of Nigeria

In Nigeria there is hardly a year where there are no major violent conflicts. However, much has not been published on the quantitative impact of the conflicts on farmers’ livelihood the manager of crops, domesticated and wild life animals. Hence, this study tend to provide information for understanding how conflict handling styles employed by conflicting parties made most of the communal conflicts degenerate into destruction of farmers livelihood activities. Two violent communal conflicts ridden states one in rainforest and derive savannah region of Nigeria were purposively selected to reflect discrepancy in impact of the conflict on livelihood activities the means of generating livelihood in two main agro-ecological regions of Nigeria. Based on the conflict severity the two agro-ecological zones were stratified into core and outside conflict areas. Using farmers register as sampling frame work 60 and 67 farmers were randomly selected in core and outside violent conflict areas of rainforest and savannah zones respectively. Interview schedule instrument was used to collect data while frequency count, percentage t-test and ANOVA were statistical tools used for data analysis. The findings revealed that in Core Violent Conflict Area (CVCA) of rainforest and derived savannah areas 72.1% and 23.8% of the farmers were displaced from their farms respectively. Consequently tree (cocoa) crops production level were severely affected as reflected in lower ( 295) and higher mean ( 697) cocoa production level in tons recorded in CVCA and Outside Violent Conflict Areas (OVCA) respectively in rainforest areas. The severity of conflict impact was not reflected in derived savannah area because yam production level means gap in tons between CVCA ( 423.0) and OVCA ( 629) were very close. However, the savannah area felt the impact of the conflict on sheep and goat production because CVCA recorded lower mean ( 180) numbers of sheep and goats as against higher mean ( 2007) number of sheep and goat recorded in OVCA. The decline in production of sheep and goat could be attributed to conflict because majority (78.4%) of the farmers claimed that they have lost their productive land to conflict. Farmers’ means of generating livelihood activities such as crops production level, sheep and goat number produced were statistically different across conflict zones at P < 0.05 in rainforest and savannah zones. The conflict had severe impact on crops, sheep and goat production hence, a sustainable capacity building program, as a post conflict coping strategies should be organised for conflict victims.

Havens in a Firestorm: Perspectives from Baghdad on Resilience to Sectarian Violence

The invasion of Iraq caused the collapse of more than one regime, setting in motion citywide and neighborhood-level changes that ruptured the stability of sectarian relations. Surprisingly, some areas of the city were able to prevent this rupture and keep sectarian militias at bay. This article is based on a year-long comparative research of neighborhoods in Baghdad wherein residents either (1) rejected sectarianism and mobilized to protect their neighbors from attacks; or (2) adopted sectarian attitudes and behaviors. In this small-n study, the trajectory of conflict escalation and coping strategies were documented in the narratives of residents and analyzed through the conceptual lens of resilience and regime shifts. The results suggest five research directions for deeper analysis of resilience to violence.

Meeus WHJ Empathy and Conflict Resolution in Friendship Relations Among Adolescents . de Wied M, Branje SJT, Meeus WHJ. Aggress Behav. 2007;33;48–55 [OpenUrl][5][CrossRef][6][PubMed][7] Differences in conflict perceptions, coping strategies, cultural norms, and personality all affect an individual's ability to achieve conflict resolution successfully. For adolescents, immaturity and the quest for independence and autonomy make conflict resolution particularly difficult. As a result, adolescents may resort to violence as a means of resolving conflicts. Because injury is the leading cause of death in adolescents, and because adolescents account for one-third of violent crime arrests, it is crucial to help adolescents develop nonviolent methods of conflict resolution. School-based programs can teach conflict resolution and anger management skills and thus empower adolescents. Male adolescents may be the most effective target audience for these programs, as they engage in more conflict than females and are more likely to be involved with gangs. Programs that involve one-on-one interactions and include the adolescents’ own teachers have been shown to be the most effective.

Social distance between residents and international tourists—Implications for international business

This paper uses the social distance concept and employs a revised version of Bogardus’ [Bogardus, E. S. (1933b). Social problems and social processes: Selected papers from the proceedings of the American sociological society. Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press] social-distance scale, to explore cognitive structures of Austrian residents towards Japanese and German tourists. The removal of conflicts between residents and international tourists is vital to improve the economic outcomes of the exchange of individuals from various cultural backgrounds. This can help the tourism sector, which is significant factor in the service industry. Data from a quota-sample of 449 respondents, commenting on everyday life interactions with German and Japanese tourists is used. Similarity analysis methodology is applied to ‘link’ statements and interpret differences in views towards tourist encounters. Austrian residents view tourist groups similar in terms of brief interactions (e.g. when visiting museums or walking in gardens). However, long-term relationships (e.g. kindergarten and schools vs. personal invitation to homes) manifest themselves differently. The cognitive structures of interaction we identify can be seen as conflict-coping strategies. For residents, social distance serves as a means to avoid malfunctioning relationships. In that respect, Austrians are more reluctant to engage in personal interactions with Japanese tourists than with German tourists. The paper concludes with managerial recommendations for international business and tourism managers that are designed to improve social and economic performance of interaction.

Impact of the Turning-Against-Self Defense Mechanism on the Process and Outcome of Inpatient Psychotherapy

The authors examined the relation between specific defense mechanisms and treatment process and outcome in psychodynamic psychotherapy. Three measures, Questionnaire for Conflict Coping Strategies, Questionnaire on the Experience of the Inpatient Therapeutic Process, and Symptom Checklist-90-R, were given to 65 inpatients of a psychosomatic clinic, predominantly with depressive or eating disorders. Turning against self was the most frequently used defense mechanism in the patient group. A high level of turning against self that could be reduced significantly during treatment was associated with good adaptation to treatment setting and positive treatment outcome defined by symptom distress reduction. Assessment of defense mechanisms and their interaction with therapeutic factors in the therapy setting can be useful to better understand the treatment process and the subsequent development of specific interventions to enhance treatment outcome.
