Holiday planning in Indian families: a dual path model linking family type and conflict resolution

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the effect of parent–adolescent conflict in step versus biological families on family communication patterns (FCPs) and the conflict resolution strategy adopted by adolescents during family destinations or holiday planning (where to visit?).Design/methodology/approachThe literature on family conflict (i.e. parent–adolescent conflict) and the different types of families (step vs nuclear) supported the proposed framework. The survey was conducted in the Indian subcontinent with a sample size of 437 adolescents. SPSS 22.0 was used for factor analysis (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis) and structural equation modelling was used through AMOS 26.0 for data analysis.FindingsSignificant relationship was observed between the types of families (step and biological), FCP and the resolution strategy chosen by Indian adolescents. Adopting a resolution strategy by adolescents in both families depends on the type of FCP in the family. Adolescents in stepfamilies have socio-oriented FCP and use “positive problem-solving” and “conflict withdrawal” as a resolution strategy. In contrast, adolescents in biological families have concept-oriented families and use “conflict enhancement” as a resolution strategy. It has also been found that adolescents who fall into high-stress categories used conflict enhancement strategies. In contrast, those who fall under low-stress categories used positive problem-solving and withdrawal strategies.Practical implicationsThis study will add a new chapter to adolescents’ decision-making literature in line with the previous research. It has practical implications for tourism marketers, academicians/researchers and policymakers. Marketers can segment adolescents into step versus biological families, and the choice of resolution strategies may introduce efficient and competent marketing strategies and promotional campaigns.Originality/valueThis study favours that family type is a robust construct to predict adolescents’ choice of resolution strategy. So, it is one of the most influential variables in adolescents’ resolution strategy adoption.

Медиация в системе способов альтернативного урегулирования семейных споров

The main purpose of the study is to determine the place of family mediation in the system of alternative ways of regulating family disputes; to evaluate the law on mediation in the general system of legislation designed to assist citizens in resolving family conflicts; to develop proposals for further improvement of legislation on mediation. The relevance of the study, its conditionality by a large number of family disputes, difficulties of access to justice, especially when considering cases in the order of administrative proceedings, is substantiated. The special interest of specialists in the field of family law in the theoretical and practical problems of mediation is emphasized. The definition of a family dispute is given as a kind of social conflict of a property or personal non-property nature arising between members of one family or between a family member and another person, if during such a conflict the rights and interests of the family or its individual members are affected. We are talking about disputes arising from legal relations that develop in the sphere of family life, the performance of its social functions. They have different subject composition, respectively, and disputes may arise between spouses, parents and children, other relatives and relatives who are in natural-biological and social ties recognized by law as legal. The definition of the concept of alternative settlement is given, understood by the authors as any settlement of disagreements and resolution of a conflict without a final resolution of the dispute on the merits by the competent authorities with the issuance of a law enforcement act subject to mandatory, including compulsory, execution. During the analysis of existing methods of alternative regulation of family disputes, in particular, used in the activities of notaries, lawyers, bailiffs, guardianship and guardianship authorities and even courts, the authors come to the conclusion that the mediation approach of public authorities cannot completely replace the mediation procedure, since these bodies have to solve the issue on the merits and when the absence of an agreement between the parties. At the same time, as a rule, one of the disputing parties wins, the other loses. This does not happen when using the mediation procedure, since during negotiations with the participation of an intermediary (mediator), the decision is made by the parties themselves or the dispute remains unresolved. In any case, the result of mediation is fixed in the mediation agreement. The author analyzes the range of circumstances that, according to the authors, can be the subject of a mediation discussion and form the basis for resolving the issue on the merits. Attention is paid to the analysis of the principles of mediation in relation to the problems of family mediation. The authors come to the conclusion that it is desirable to conduct family mediation on the principle of free, especially in disputes about children. At the end of the article is a list of the sources used. When writing the work, 18 sources were used, including scientific literature for the last 5 years. The authors declare no conflicts of interests.

Relationship of Conflict, Conflict Avoidance, and Conflict Resolution to Psychological Adjustment.

Background: Conflict has deleterious effects on the adjustment of children, adolescence, and emerging adults. The literature is less robust on the adverse effects of conflict avoidance on adjustment as well as the beneficial effect of resolution in these age groups. The literature is markedly sparser on these relationships in adults. Method: We recruited N = 1471 US adults between 18 and 86years old (M = 33.94, SD = 11.67). They primarily identified as White with 51% holding at least a bachelor's degree. Participants responded to the Perceived Family Conflict Subscale, Avoidant Conflict Scale, the Family Conflict Resolution Scale, and the Langner Symptom Survey. Results: A MANOVA modeling the four variables demonstrated a significant difference based on sex for the measure of distress and need for treatment (Mwomen = 5.31, Mmen = 3.93, p < .001). Separate analyses for men and women yielded the same pattern for each sex. Specifically, low conflict groups, as well as low conflict avoidance groups, scored significantly lower on a measure of distress than the high conflict and conflict avoidance group. For conflict resolution, the high groups scored significantly lower on distress than did the low resolution group. Discussion: The deleterious effect of conflict and conflict avoidance were found in both adult men and women, thereby extending results found in children, teens, and young adults. Similarly, the beneficial effect of conflict resolution manifest in adult men and women, which had been found in young adults. Interventions aimed at reducing conflict avoidance and increasing conflict resolution skills should theoretically reduce stress.

MEDIASI SEBAGAI SOLUSI ALTERNATIF KONFLIK KELUARGA PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM DAN HUKUM PROGRESIF

Mediation is a fast, cheap, and satisfying alternative in resolving disputes. In reality, however, the opposite of these hypotheses occurs. As a result, a holistic understanding of mediation is required so that in the future, mediation can exist progressively in handling, reducing, and resolving family conflicts, thereby achieving the ideals of sakinah mawaddah warahmah in the family. The purpose of this paper is to analyse mediation through the perspective of Islamic law and progressive law. The analysis’s findings, which were obtained using normative methods and an analytical-descriptive approach, demonstrate that, from the perspective of Islamic law, the current model of mediation is the result of the integration of sulh and tahkim which the process of disputing parties negotiating with the assistance of a mediator who facilitates and controls the process to reach a consensual agreement. Sulh describes the characteristics of reaching a consensual agreement, while tahkim describes the characteristics of appointing a third party as a mediator. Meanwhile, according to progressive law, mediation is a creative, innovative, productive, fair, and dynamic means of resolving family conflicts. So mediation exists and is progressive as an institution that serves humans and solves problems in order for them to be happy.

Intervention in family conflicts through mediation from the comparative perspective of Brazil and Portugal legislation

The jurisdictional function of a country plays an important role in the resolution of family conflicts, causing a high number of lawsuits. However, the ability to resolve conflicts of this nature is not exclusive to the judiciary, it being possible for other ways, with help of a third party other than the State.

Islam gives up the freedom of settlement to reach an agreement to make peace for those who are in dispute. This is done because Islah-shulh is part of Islamic teachings to resolve a dispute or conflict peacefully. However, it is different from the laws and regulations which have their own rules in the implementation of mediation in court. In accordance with Perma No. 1 of 2016 Article 13 that to be a mediator in the mediation process must have a certificate. With regard to efforts to resolve family conflicts by involving the kiai as hakam, this is permissible. However, the role of the kiai as a mediator or hakam can only be carried out in an effort to resolve disputes that have not been submitted to court with the consent of the conflicting parties. Unless, the kiai already has a certificate as a mediator. &#x0D; Keywords: kiai; mediator; Family

Assessing the Impact of COVID-19 Social Distancing and Social Vulnerability on Family Functioning in an International Sample of Households with and without Children.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a worldwide event that has exacerbated stress and caused significant disruptions in the day-to-day living of families. Of particular concern are socially vulnerable families, which have felt the impacts of the pandemic most acutely. Because stress can alter family dynamics, it is important to understand which stressors impact families the most, and what resources can be leveraged to strengthen family functioning. The current study examined the impacts of COVID-19 on the conflict and cohesion of households with children compared to households without children. Additionally, we sought to assess how conflict and cohesion are related to social vulnerabilities in the context of the pandemic. Using an international sample, we analyzed responses to the COVID-19 Household Environment Scale (N = 4122) using descriptive and bivariate analyses. Latent class analysis was used to identify patterns of family functioning in households with and without children. We found that social vulnerability was associated with more disrupted family functioning, and that households with children (n = 2666) reported less disrupted family functioning when compared to households without children (n = 1456), despite having higher social vulnerability scores. Our exploratory latent class analysis identified a 5-class model among both subgroups. Conflict, cohesion, family functioning and social vulnerability varied significantly by subgroup and class membership. Our findings add to a body of evidence that argues that despite facing greater vulnerability, households with children have many strengths to draw from. Family interventions that help to promote family cohesion and conflict resolution can foster resilience in stressful circumstances.

The Capacity of Family Governing Principles to Resolve Family Conflicts

The purpose of this study is to investigate the capacity of the principles governing the family in resolving family conflicts. so, after enumerating the principles governing the family and examining the place of these principles in organizing the monotheistic legislative system, the indicators expressing the rights arising from these principles and the effects of violating these principles and the rights arising from them were extracted. Then, by reviewing previous researches, family injuries and effective causes of these injuries were extracted. Finally, the indicators derived from the principles and effective causes of family injuries were compared and analyzed.In this study, the qualitative method has been used in a descriptive-analytical manner. The method of collecting information has been in the form of documents and libraries. Research data were also processed using qualitative content analysis technique.The results of the research indicate that most of the causes of family disputes with the effects of violation of principles have a common semantic space and in fact are in conflict with the rights of principles. Therefore, the causes of family problems are also in conflict with the principles. Hence, the violation of the principles governing the family has caused many family problems. Therefore, it is suggested that authorities provide the ground for the implementation of these principles in the family through policy-making, codification of laws and culture-building.

Гендерні аспекти газлайтингу як форми психологічного насильства у сім’ї

The article reveals the problem of psychological violence in the family and considers the gender aspects of the manipulative phenomenon of gaslighting. Manipulations are aimed at forcing other people to perform exactly the actions that the manipulator needs. These actions lead to certain consequences that the manipulator wants to get in accordance with his motives. In a family relationship, the gaslight partner does not care what the victim partner wants and aspires to. It is important to him that others obey. Because the victim partner does not always agree to submit to this pressure, the gaslighter uses manipulation to indirectly influence the motivation, decisions and actions of the victim partner. Manipulative techniques are often veiled in such a way that the victim cannot understand the harmful effects that the partner has on him. The aim of the study was to study the concept of “gaslighting” in the environment of interpersonal relationships of marital partners; studies of gender features of gaslighting; identification of verbal and nonverbal means of manipulation characteristic of a gaslighter; development of practical recommendations on ways to counteract the gaslighter. The results of our study showed that destructive statements to victim partners characterize the specifics of gaslighting as a kind of psychological, emotional violence in family relationships. Women are more told about their mental illness, inferiority, humiliation, success. Men in their address more often hear from partners statements about the wrong perception of reality. The most common manifestations of gaslighting in the family relationships of respondents are: humiliation of the person by the partner, devaluation of feelings and the importance of important events, as well as the transfer of responsibility to the partner. Regarding the manipulative actions used by gaslight partners towards the respondents, we highlighted accusations from partners, ignoring feelings, verbal insults and rejection of the lifestyle of partner victims. The key strategies for resolving family conflicts that respondents use are rivalries and adaptations. In general, based on the results, we found that there is no gender variation in the use of gaslighting by marital partners in family relationships – since both women and men are equally faced with the manifestations of this phenomenon in the family Key words: gaslighting, manipulator, gaslighter partner, victim partner, psychological violence, family relations.
