Struggling to manage: A constructivist grounded theory of hoarding behaviours

AbstractHoarding behaviours can cause numerous problems including health risks, family conflict, and removal of children and pets from the home. Hoarding research typically adopts a cognitive‐behavioural framework and uses quantitative methods; we aimed to further understand the development of hoarding behaviour from a qualitative perspective. Constructivist grounded theory methods were employed across two phases of data collection via semi‐structured interviews with participants identifying as exhibiting hoarding behaviours. Provisional categories were developed in phase one; further data analysis in phase two helped to establish our grounded theory. The theoretical core is a struggle to manage possessions and life, including life transitions such as moving to a new home and starting or finishing university. ‘Struggling to manage’ incorporates emotional struggles with possessions and the impacts of personal trauma and overwhelming life events. A further category, ‘Trying to overcome hoarding’ incorporates participants' efforts to manage and overcome their hoarding. Findings highlight the importance of viewing hoarding in a holistic context.

The pathway from grandparental support with childcare in the early years to child socioemotional outcomes in middle childhood: evidence from the Millennium Cohort Study

ABSTRACT We examined the pathway from grandparental childcare support at age 3 to child social and emotional outcomes at age 7 through maternal mental health and mother–child relationship at age 3 in a sample of n = 1495 biological mothers and their children from the UK's Millennium Cohort Study. Structural equation modelling showed that time spent in the care of grandparents at age 3 was not associated with the child's social and emotional outcomes at age 7 via maternal psychological distress or mother–child conflict and mother–child closeness. Maternal psychological distress at age 3 was associated with poor child social and emotional outcomes at age 7 both directly and indirectly via mother–child conflict and mother–child closeness. In the early years, grandparental childcare, as primary form of childcare arrangement, may not be significantly associated with maternal mental wellbeing or parenting capacity, which are both beneficial for child socioemotional development.

PENGARUH RELIGIUSITAS TERHADAP JUVENILE DELINQUENCY PADA SISWA SMA NEGERI 2 MANADO

One of the problems one faces in adolescence is a transition period that can make a youth's emotions less stable. This time is often referred to as the time of the storm (strum and drang), yaigrumbling about a time of turmoil resulting from opposing values. It is this transition period that brings about a sense of self-behavior called Juvenile Delinquency. Juvenile Delinquency is a manifestation of unresolved conflicts in both childhood and youth. This requires strong religious confidence and experience in the teachings of religion in order to reduce delinquent behavior. The study was carried out using the quantitative method to see the religious impact of the juvenile delinquency of country high school students 2 Manado. The sample in this study totaled 74 students. The data analysis technique used in data management is simple linear regression. Management used computer assistive SPSS program 26 for Windows.

Effects of interparental conflict on children's depression in the context of COVID-19: Does parent–child conflict play a role?

BackgroundThe prevalence of depression among children has dramatically increased since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. ObjectiveThrough focusing on verbal fights, the most common form of family conflict, this study examined the association between interparental conflict and children's depression and explored the mediating role of parent–child conflict. Participants and settingA total of 1005 children (47.0 % females) aged between 9 and 12 years old constituted the analytical subjects, who had been drawn from the 2020 survey of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS). MethodsDescriptive statistics were obtained, and bivariate correlation analysis and mediation analysis were performed. ResultsAccording to the Spearman correlation analysis, interparental conflict and children's depression were positively correlated (ρ = 0.214, p < 0.01); moreover, parent–child conflict was significantly positively associated with both interparental conflict (ρ = 0.450, p < 0.01) and children's depression (ρ = 0.224, p < 0.01). Additionally, mediation analysis demonstrated that, after controlling for sociodemographic factors, parent–child conflict operated as a mediator between interparental conflict and children's depression. More specifically, parent–child conflict accounted for 47.6 % of the total effect of interparental conflict on children's depression. ConclusionsThese findings suggested that frequent conflicts between parents predicted increased parent–child conflict, which, in turn, elevated the risk of depression for children. To reduce the risk of children's depression, it is necessary to create a good environment and build a harmonious relationship within the family. At the same time, specific supportive services, such as family therapy, filial therapy, and couple relationship education, should be provided.

COVID-19 responses and coping in young Malaysians from low-income families.

This study aimed to shed light on how young people from low-income families were responding to COVID-19. This cross-sectional study recruited young people aged between 18 and 24 years from the low-income-group communities. A convenience sampling approach was used. Google Surveys were used to gather data from the survey. The questionnaire consisted of an assessment of demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, parent-youth conflict (Parental Environment Questionnaire, PEQ), resilient coping (Brief Resilient Coping Scale, BRCS), and psychological distress (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-short form, DASS-21). A total of 561 complete responses were received. The results showed a low level of parent-child conflict in the overall study population, with a median PEQ of 48.0 [interquartile range (IQR) 36-48]. Higher parent-child conflicts were found in females than in males (OR = 1.75, 95% CI 1.19-2.57) and in youth from households with an income below MYR 2000 than those earning MYR 3,001-5,000 (OR = 4.39, 95% CI 2.40-8.03). A low prevalence of depression (12.5%), anxiety (15.2%), and stress (6.4%) was found. Parent-child conflict remains the strongest significant predictor for higher levels of depression (OR = 10.90, 95% CI 4.31-27.57), anxiety (OR = 11.92, 95% CI 5.05-28.14), and stress (OR = 4.79, 95% CI 1.41-16.33) symptoms. Poor resilient coping was the second strongest predictor for depression and anxiety symptoms. Regarding lifestyle factors, a lower level of physical exercise was associated with higher symptoms of depression. By demographics, females reported more severe symptoms of depression and anxiety than males. Young people from low-income households reported greater severity in symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress than those from high-income households. Young people who are employed also reported greater severity of anxiety symptoms than those who are unemployed. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an unpredictable impact on the lives of vulnerable youth in low-income families that warrants attention in future advocacy efforts.

Parent-child relationships and psychological distress: survey of parents from low-income families after the COVID-19 pandemic.

This study aims to shed light on parent-child relationships and the psychological health of parents from low-income families after the easing of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. This cross-sectional study recruited 553 parents of children aged 13-24 years in low-income community settings. The Parent-Child Conflict scale of the Parental Environment Questionnaire (PEQ) was used to measure parent-child conflict. Psychological distress was assessed using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale short form (DASS-21). The study revealed a low level of parent-child conflict in the overall study population, with a median PEQ of 48.0 (interquartile range [IQR] 36 to 48). Concerning demographics, married parents reported a likelihood of having a higher level of parent-child conflict over 3 times higher than single parents (OR = 3.18 95%, CI 1.30-7.75). More parent-child conflicts were also found in parents aged 60-72 years old who were unemployed, retired, or housewives and from lower-income groups. In regard to lifestyle factors, a higher level of physical activity and having enough sleep were associated with lower levels of parent-child conflict. Only approximately 1% of the participants reported symptoms of depression, anxiety, or stress. Low risk exists for parent-child conflict and psychological sequelae following the easing of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, which could be due to various support measures implemented by the government. Vulnerable parents identified as being at risk of parent-child conflict warrant attention in future advocacy efforts.

Exploring the Concept of Hope and Aspirations of Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL)

Having hope and aspirations can serve as a driving force for children to have a flourishing life. This study aimed to explore the concept of hope and aspirations of Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL). There were 10 CICLs of the Regional Rehabilitation Center for Youth (RRCY) in Urayong, Bauang, La Union, who participated in the study. A semi-structured interview was used to gather data. Thematic analysis was also employed to analyze the data gathered. Based on the findings of the study, the CICL's concept of hope includes positivity despite adversity, drawing strength from God, and having a positive social support system. Likewise, for CICLs aspirations, two themes were generated: future career and occupational fulfillment; and reform and acceptance. With this, the findings emphasized that despite being stigmatized by society, CICLs are still hopeful about life and aspire to become better individuals.

Reformulation of Age Limit for Criminal Liability Child Narcotics Dealer

This article that uses and is based on applicable laws and principles. The legal and regulatory approach is carried out by examining legal provisions, in particular, Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, and other related regulations to determine and find out the age of a child before the law. relevant in national criminal law. Based on the above approach, the results of the discussion of this study are: Children in conflict with the law are children who are 12 years old but have not reached the age of 18 who are suspected of committing a crime. This definition was derived from a law known as the Law on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System (UU SPPA), which replaced the law known as the Law on Juvenile Courts. As a result of this definition, it is clear that the Legislature has reached a consensus that the age of eight is an inappropriate age for a person to be held accountable for actions they have committed. In terms of handling narcotics cases, especially children as dealers, the prosecutor's attention is needed to better control the results of investigations conducted by the police so that they can catch perpetrators of child narcotics dealers to uncover a large network of narcotics dealers. Until now there has been no study or regulation that specifically regulates the prosecutor's authority to control the results of investigations by the police to be able to catch perpetrators of child narcotics dealers to uncover the large network of narcotics dealers behind them.

Teacher–child relational conflict and maladaptive social behaviors: The moderating role of children’s values

Beginning in the preschool years, it is well established that teacher–child conflictual relationships are likely to have detrimental effects on children’s behaviors. However, to date little attention has been paid to how certain core child factors, such as young children’s personal values, might act as risk or protective factors in this context. Accordingly, we examined the associations between teacher–child relational conflict and children’s maladaptive behaviors and asked whether children’s personal values, defined here as their broad motivations in life, moderate these associations. Our sample consisted of 120 kindergarten children (58 girls; Mage = 67.53 months, SD = 6.53) and their teachers. Children’s values were examined in a one-on-one interview using an animated values instrument. Teachers reported the level of conflict in the teacher–child relationships and children’s maladaptive behaviors. The findings supported our hypothesis that teacher–child relational conflict is positively associated with children’s externalizing and internalizing behaviors. In addition, children’s self-transcendence values acted as a protective factor by weakening the adverse associations between teacher–child conflict and children’s externalizing behaviors. Conversely, children’s conservation values acted as a risk factor by strengthening the associations between teacher–child conflict and children’s internalizing behaviors. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of our findings.

The temporal dynamics of the Stroop effect from childhood to young and older adulthood.

The processes involved in the Stroop task/effect are thought to involve conflict detection and resolution stages. Little is known about the evolution of these two components over the lifespan. It is well admitted that children and older adults tend to show longer response latencies than young adults. The present study aims at clarifying the rational of such changes from childhood to adulthood and in aging by comparing the impacted cognitive processes across age groups. More precisely, the aim was to clarify if all processes take more time to be executed, hence implying that longer latencies rely mainly on processing speed or if an additional process lengthens the resolution of the conflict in children and/or older adults. To this aim we recorded brain electrical activity using EEG in school-age children, young and older adults while they performed a classic verbal Stroop task. The signal was decomposed in microstate brain networks, and age groups and conditions were compared. Behavioral results evolved following an inverted U-shaped curve. In children, different brain states from the ones observed in adults were highlighted, both in the conflict detection and resolution time-windows. Longer latencies in the incongruent condition were mainly attributed to an overly increased duration of the microstates involved in the conflict resolution time window. In aging, the same microstate maps were reported for both young and older adult groups. The differences in performances between groups could be explained by a disproportionally long conflict detection phase, even compressing the latest stage of response articulation. These results tend to favor a specific immaturity of the brain networks involved coupled with a slowing of the processes in children, while cognitive decline could be mostly explained by a general slowing.

Children's Physical Proximity to Interparental Conflict: Resilient Process and Retrospective Perceptions of Parent-Child Relationships.

This retrospective study sought to determine (a) whether physical proximity to interparental conflict in childhood moderates the link between frequency of exposure to interparental conflict and subsequent levels of resilience in adulthood and (b) whether retrospective perceptions of parent-child relations and insecurity mediate the link between interparental conflict and resilient development. A total of 963 French students aged 18-25 years were assessed. Our study showed that the children's physical proximity to interparental conflict is a major long-term risk factor for their subsequent development and their retrospective perceptions of parent-child relations.

Executive Function snd Self-Regulation of Children in Conflict with The Law

This study aims to obtain an overview of the executive function and self-regulation of children in conflict with the law (ABH), namely children dealing with the law who have the status of perpetrators of crimes or criminal acts. This research is a quantitative research with a descriptive research design. The sample in this study were 120 children in conflict with the law (ABH) who were undergoing coaching at the Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak (LPKA) Class 1 Tangerang, Banten and the Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak (LPKA) Class 2 in Bandung, West Java. The instrument used in this research is an executive function questionnaire adapted from the Executive Skill Questionnaire and a self-regulation questionnaire adapted from the Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SSRQ). The results of this study indicate that as many as 4.2% ABH have very low executive function, 4.2% ABH have low executive function, 25% ABH have high executive function, and 66.7% ABH have very high executive function. Meanwhile, in the aspect of self-regulation, the results of this study indicate that 0.8% of ABH have very low self-regulation, 5% of ABH have low self-regulation, 44.2% of ABH have high self-regulation, and 50% of ABHs have very high self-regulation.
