Correlation Between Parenting Styles, Resilience, and Socioeconomic Status on Emotional Intelligence of College Students

The family is the first and most important place for human interaction. Parents are the most important interaction objects. Numerous studies have pointed out that parenting styles can have a large and long-term impact on children. Several studies have linked parenting styles to emotional intelligence and resilience in children and adolescents. However, fewer studies have explored whether parenting styles are associated with college students’ emotional intelligence and resilience. In addition, few studies have explored whether socioeconomic status is related to emotional intelligence and/or resilience. Therefore, this study takes 210 college students aged 18–23 years as research participants to explore the relationship between these variables. The instruments are Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), Two-factor Index of Social Position, Inventory of Adolescent Resilience (IAR), and Emotion Management Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis. The findings suggest that parenting styles are associated with emotional intelligence. However, resilience is related to the caring dimension of parenting styles, but not the control dimension. Similar result was also found in socioeconomic status. The developmental changes of these variables and their mechanisms still need further research to explore.

Contribution of Emotional Intelligence to Resilience in Adolescents with Broken Home Families

In recent years, many children have experienced a situation where their family is not intact, often called a broken home. Divorce of parents and problems in the family certainly not only have an impact on parents but also have an impact and become a problem for children. The development of emotional abilities and resilience in children is important to deal with difficulties and problems and turn them into positive ones. This study aims to test empirically the contribution of emotional intelligence to resilience in adolescents often called with broken home families. The research sample consisted of 65 adolescents who were selected based on a non-probability method of purposive sampling with the characteristics of adolescents aged 17-21 years who had separated/divorced parents. To measure emotional intelligence variables using the Trait Meta-Mood Scale compiled by Solovey et al (2002) and to measure resilience variables using the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale compiled by Connor & Davidson (2003). The reliability value of the emotional intelligence variable is 0.905 and the reliability value of the resilience variable is 0.926. The results of the empirical mean category of emotional intelligence variables are in the medium category which tends to be high and resilience is in the medium category which tends to be low. Thus, the research hypothesis is accepted. This means there is a significant contribution between emotional intelligence on resilience and the role of emotional intelligence variables on resilience

Mapping Informal Learning for Displaced Learners during the War on Gaza 2023- Application of Situated Cognition

War on Gaza since October 2023, presented a dire picture of the displaced children's situation, marked by psychological stress, health risks, educational disruption, and a profound impact on their physical, emotional, and cognitive development.This paper explores the criticality of sustaining learning and development for Gazan young people, particularly those displaced, amidst challenging environments such as war zones. And the primary aim of this study is to propose a construct to help develop and initial informal learning to help displaced not to miss learning opportunities.The researchers have taken into consideration the scenario of the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the Israeli occupation's increasing atrocities without seeing clear intentions for ceasefire. Then, the researchers propose a framework for informal learning that adapts to the realities of displacement and war, grounded in the concept of situated cognition. The constructs prioritize hands-on experiences and skills relevant to the displaced students' immediate context. It suggests a shift towards informal learning methods that foster cognitive reserve, resilience, and adaptability in children, utilizing play, storytelling, exploration, and cultural activities.The paper concludes by discussing the vital role of informal learning in maintaining the continuity of education for displaced children in Gaza. It argues for immediate educational interventions alongside long-term strategies for rebuilding the educational system, tailored to the complex needs of students in the recovery and healing phases. The study recognizes its limitations in addressing the potential of technology in informal learning, given the severe constraints of the situation in Gaza.

After the 2023 Earthquake in Turkiye: An Assessment of Post-Earthquake Psychological Resilience in Children and Adolescents - A Systematic Review

After the 2023 Earthquake in Turkiye: An Assessment of Post-Earthquake Psychological Resilience in Children and Adolescents - A Systematic Review

Systematic review of protective factors related to academic resilience in children and adolescents: unpacking the interplay of operationalization, data, and research method.

Identifying protective factors that promote academic resilience is vital. Nevertheless, due to the variations in the operationalizations of academic resilience, timeframes, data sources, and employed research methods, it remains unclear whether the impact of protective factors identified across studies can be attributed to the factors themselves or to these variations. By addressing these uncertainties, this study aims to provide an overview of the protective factors that have been extensively investigated in academic resilience and their degree of influence. A literature search found 119 empirical studies on protective factors in education settings for children and adolescents. The review analyzed five protective factors groups (individual, family, school, peer, community), three operationalizations of academic resilience (simultaneous, progressive, instrumental), two timeframes (longitudinal, non-longitudinal), three data sources (self-collected, national/local assessments, international large-scale assessments), and commonly employed research methods. The studies analyzed in this review yielded mixed results regarding the impact of the examined protective factors, with measurement instruments and statistical power playing a significant role in explaining the variations. Individual and school-level characteristics emerged as the most well-studied protective factors; individual characteristics were often investigated through "instrumental" operationalization and structural equational models, whereas school-level characteristics were typically explored through "simultaneous" or "progressive" operationalizations and multilevel modeling. Approximately 31 and 16% of the studies utilized national assessments and international large-scale assessment data, respectively. Both data sources promoted the exploration of school-level factors, with the former facilitating the exploration of protective factors across time and the latter contributing to the investigation of teaching-related factors.

Parent resilience, couple burnout, and misogyny in fathers with disabled children

This study aims to examine the relationship between parent resilience, couple burnout, and misogyny of fathers with disabled children, while also investigating the mediating effect of parent resilience on the relationship between misogyny and couple burnout. This study included a sample of 120 fathers whose children were attending a special education and rehabilitation center. Couple Burnout Scale Short Form, Misogyny Scale, Family Resilience Scale, and Personal Information Form were used as instruments in the study. The findings revealed a significant relationship between couple burnout and levels of misogyny, as well as a negative relationship between couple burnout and perception of parent resilience. Additionally, a negative relationship was observed between the level of misogyny and parent resilience. Importantly, parent resilience was found to mediate the relationship between level of misogyny and couple burnout, explaining 24.5% of the total variance. Based on these findings, it is recommended to prioritize psychological interventions that strengthen resilience of fathers with disabled children.

Revisão narrativa sobre a relação entre estresse tóxico e desempenho ocupacional na primeira infância

Abstract Introduction Early childhood is a crucial stage for human development during which the environment significantly influences brain formation and functioning. Adverse experiences during this period can trigger toxic stress, which in turn may hinder the achievement of developmental milestones. Objective This study aims to describe the main adverse childhood experiences that lead to toxic stress in children aged 0 to 6 years, also considering their implications for mental health and occupational performance. Method A narrative review was conducted using the databases Web of Science, EBSCO, Scopus, and Psychology Database. Ten relevant articles were selected for analysis. Results The search revealed that poverty, child violence, and discrimination are the three most common adverse experiences generating toxic stress. Additionally, protective factors that can mitigate the impact of these adverse experiences, thereby strengthening childhood resilience, were identified. Among these factors, positive parenting characteristics stand out as the primary protective element. Conclusion Although a direct relationship between toxic stress and occupational performance was not found in the reviewed literature, it is concluded that the latter is indirectly affected because of its connection with mental health and child development – key aspects of participation in daily activities. This underscores the importance of expanding research in the field of occupational therapy, as it can significantly contribute to the promotion and prevention of mental health in childhood.

The Role of Self-Esteem in Improving the Resilience of Juvenile Offenders

<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Adolescents between the ages of 14 and 18 who commit crimes so that they must take responsibility for their actions by undergoing guidance at the </em>Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak <em>(LPKA) are called juvenile offender. Juvenile offenders, who are adolescents in their developmental period, certainly experience pressures caused by various changes in environmental conditions that they must face while serving a sentence in the LPKA. Therefore, a juvenile offender must have resilience. This study aims to examine whether there is an influence between self-esteem and resilience in foster children in LPKA. The participants of this study were 132 juvenile offenders consisting of 64 juvenile offenders of LPKA X and 68 juvenile offenders of LPKA Y. The research data were collected by distributing questionnaires of Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and Resilience Quotient (RQ) measuring instruments. The hypotheses were tested using the simple linear regression method. The test results show that self-esteem positively and significantly influences foster children's resilience in LPKA by 20.2%, p = 0.00 <0.05.</em></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>Self-esteem; Resilience; Juvenile offenders</em></p>

Children's Resilience to Not Working Before and During the Pandemic in Rural Indonesia

Children are an asset to a country and a resource that will further national and international development goals. Children who work will be threatened by their health, safety, education, and development. In the last 10 years, BPS has recorded the percentage of child labor fluctuating with the latest record in 2021 at 2.63 percent. The high percentage makes the phenomenon of child labor still a global concern to be addressed as contained in the Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the determinants of children's resilience not to work in rural areas during the observation period before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study uses a three-level survival analysis method by utilizing Sakernas data for August 2019-2020 and data from the BPS website. The results of this study obtained that the percentage of children aged 5-17 years who worked increased during the pandemic by 5.62 percent to 18.88 percent in rural areas. The variables of child gender, child education, child status at individual level; household head gender, household head occupation sector, and household poverty status at household level; and percentage of poor population at districts level significantly affect the resilience of children aged 5-17 not to work in the period before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Shared Minds, Shared Feedback: tracing the influence of parental feedback on shared neural patterns.

Parental feedback affects children in multiple ways. However, little is known about how children, family, and feedback types affect parental feedback neural mechanisms. The current study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy-based hyperscanning to observe 47 mother-daughter pairs's (mean age of mothers: 35.95 ± 3.99yr old; mean age of daughters: 6.97 ± 0.75yr old) brain synchronization in a jigsaw game under various conditions. Between parental negative feedback and praise conditions, mother-daughter brain in supramarginal gyrus, left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, right inferior frontal gyrus, and right primary somatic (S1) differed. When criticized, conformity family-communication-patterned families had much worse brain synchronization in S1, left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and right Wernicke's region than conversational families. Resilient children had better mother-child supramarginal gyrus synchronicity under negative feedback. This study supports the importance of studying children's neurological development in nurturing environments to assess their psychological development.

Social competence of single‐parent children with child abuse in China: Mediation model of resilience

AbstractChildren from single‐parent families typically face severe developmental risks, especially those with prior experience in child abuse. This study aimed to investigate the child abuse experience and social competence of children from single‐parent families and discuss the possible mediation effect of resilience in Mainland China. This study analysed 431 single‐parent children samples collected in China (50% females, Mage = 13.10). Group comparison analyses were conducted to illustrate group differences in social competence between single‐parent children with and without child abuse experience. In addition, path analyses were conducted to examine the mediation effect of resilience between child abuse and social competence. This study findings indicated that single‐parent children with physical and emotional abuse experience did not perform significantly worse in social competence, but those with emotional neglect were found to do worse. Resilience fully mediated the effect of physical abuse and partially mediated the effect of emotional neglect on single‐parent children's social competence, while it did not mediate the impact of emotional abuse. This study contributes to understanding the mechanisms between child abuse, social competence and resilience of children from single‐parent families in Mainland China. The findings have implications for social services for single‐parent children who are abused.

Sociocultural Risk and Resilience in the Context of Adverse Childhood Experiences

Knowledge about childhood resilience factors relevant in circumstances of marginalization and high numbers of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can improve interventions. To identify sociocultural resilience factors in childhood that are associated with better young adult mental health in the context of ACEs. This cohort study examined 4 waves of data from the Boricua Youth Study, which included Puerto Rican children from the South Bronx, New York, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Participants were aged 5 to 17 years at waves 1 through 3 (2000-2003) and aged 15 to 29 years at wave 4 (2013-2017). Linear and logistic regression models tested the associations of 7 childhood resilience factors and their interaction with ACEs on young adult mental health outcomes. Data were analyzed from June 2021 to October 2023. Perceived stress, major depressive disorder and/or generalized anxiety disorder (MDD/GAD), and substance use disorder (SUD) in young adulthood. Among a total 2004 participants, the mean (SD) age at wave 4 was 22.4 (2.9) years; 1024 participants (51.1%) were female, and 980 (48.9%) were male. Positive parent-child relationships and nonparental adult support during childhood were associated with both lower perceived stress (β = -0.14; SE = 0.02; P < .001; β = -0.08; SE = 0.03; P = .003, respectively) and lower odds of MDD/GAD (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.84; 95% CI, 0.73 to 0.97; aOR = 0.81; 95% CI, 0.69 to 0.95, respectively) in young adulthood. Maternal warmth reported during childhood was also associated with lower young adult perceived stress (β = -0.11; SE = 0.02; P < .001). None of the resilience factors were associated with SUD. The resilience factors familism, friendships, and family religiosity were not associated with any of the mental health outcomes. ACEs were associated with poorer mental health outcomes; however, none of the resilience factors exhibited interactions consistent with being protective for ACEs. Unexpectedly, higher family religiosity was associated with more perceived stress in the presence of higher ACEs. The results of this study suggest that promoting positive relationships with adults during childhood may reduce later young adulthood stress and MDD/GAD. However, there is still a need to identify sociocultural childhood protective factors for ACEs. Caution should be taken in assuming what resilience factors are relevant for a given group, as higher family religiosity (one postulated resilience factor) was unexpectedly associated with a stronger, rather than a weaker, association between ACEs and perceived stress in young adulthood.

An examination of characteristics, social supports, caregiver resilience and hospital readmissions of children with medical complexity.

Children with medical complexity (CMC) account for 1% of children in the United States. These children experience frequent hospital readmissions, high healthcare costs and poor health outcomes. A link between CMC caregiver social support, resilience and hospital readmissions has never been fully investigated. This study examines the feasibility of a prospective, descriptive, repeated measures research design to characterize CMC and their caregivers, social supports, caregiver resilience and hospital readmissions to inform a larger prospective investigation. Caregivers of CMC with unplanned hospitalizations completed surveys at the index hospitalization and 30 and 60 days after discharge. CMC caregiver and child characteristics, social supports and hospital readmissions were examined using an investigator-developed survey. Resilience was measured using the Resilience Scale-14© (7-Point Likert Scale, score range 14-98), and feasibility was measured by calculating enrolment, attrition, survey completion and item response. Analysis included descriptive statistics and qualitative data visualization. Of caregivers who were approached for participation, 81.1% consented and completed 76 surveys. Attrition was 31%. Item response rates were ≥ 90% for all but one item. A total of 62.1% of children had hospital readmissions within 90 days and 37.9% within 30 days. Additionally,70% of caregivers had home care nursing, but the approved hours were only partially filled. More than 70% of caregiver resilience scores were moderate to high (score range 74-98) and were stable across repeated measures and hospital readmissions. Open-ended question responses revealed the following five categories: All-consuming, Family Reliance, Impact of Covid, Taking Action and Broken System. Studying CMC caregiver social supports and resilience using repeated measures is feasible. CMC caregivers reported stressors including coordinating their child's substantial healthcare needs and managing partially filled home care nursing hours. Caregiver resilience remained stable over time, amidst frequent CMC hospital readmissions. Findings can inform future research priorities and power analyses for CMC caregiver resilience.

Resilience Profile of Children with Special Needs and the Importance of Guidance and Counseling Services

Children with special needs are children who need special services to develop their potential in education, social services, guidance and counseling services, and various types of other special services. In reality, not many people understand or know children with special needs, so there is still much discrimination that occurs. This discrimination is not only from the community around them but also from their own families. This discrimination leads to a stressful situation, resulting in possible difficulties in participating in educational programs or other skills. Therefore, an important aspect that they need to adapt to difficult situations or stressful conditions is resilience. This research aims to describe and understand resilience in children with special needs. The method used in writing this article is the literature study method, where data is obtained by a series of activities related to library data collection methods, reading and recording, and processing research materials. The source of resilience formation itself comes from within and outside the individual internal factors that can affect children with special needs in bringing up resilience, which are emotion regulation, impulse control, optimism, causal analysis, empathy, self-efficacy, and reaching out. The implementation of counseling guidance services itself is almost the same as normal children in general according to their needs, which are described as follows: planning, implementation, and evaluation of guidance and counseling. Therefore, the important role of guidance and counseling services for children with special needs is needed.

Contextual, structural, and mental health experiences of children of women engaged in high-risk sexual behaviour in Kampala: a mixed method study.

Children born to women who sell sex for money or commodities may face economic and social insecurity because of their mother's work, particularly in settings where sex work is illegal. From October 2020 to May 2021, we conducted a study with 60 children aged 12-24 years, born to sex workers in Kampala, Uganda. The children took part in 60 semi-structured interviews, 20 life history interviews, and 4 focus group discussions, which were used to explore their social, economic, and mental health experiences and investigate their vulnerabilities and resilience. Quantitative data were collected using REDcap, and descriptive analysis was done using Stata 14. Qualitative data were collected using semi-structured topic guides, and data analysed thematically. We explored findings in relation to a wellbeing framework. The findings showed that children experienced contextual and structural hardships, including incomplete and irregular schooling, a lack of privacy at home, food insecurity, and physical and psychological violence from relatives and sometimes from their mothers. Some children reported mental wellbeing struggles with hopelessness, nervousness, and sadness. Alcohol and drug use were common in most families. Community social network support systems, including neighbours and grandparents, were important; most children had absentee fathers. Some children suspected or knew how their mother earned her income. Resilience for most children was tagged to support from close networks and financial support from the government and civil society. Children of sex workers in Kampala experience structural, contextual, and mental health challenges but have a positive attitude towards the future. It is important to strengthen community support systems for these children and those living in similar circumstances in low- and middle-income countries.

Parenting and family self-sufficiency services contribute to impacts of Early Head Start for children and families.

There is evidence that two-generation early childhood programs, those that strive to support not only child development, but also optimal parenting and family wellbeing, help to foster resilience for young children and their families in the face of adversity. Using data from a large experimental evaluation, the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project, this paper explores how parenting and family self-sufficiency services embedded in Early Head Start (EHS), a federally funded, nationally implemented two-generation early childhood program for low-income families lasting from pregnancy and until children are three, contribute to the impacts of the program for both the children and their families. Parenting support in any modality (home visiting, case management or parent education) contributed to program impacts on important child and family outcomes, but not parent employment. Somewhat surprisingly, family receipt of employment services did not lead to any of the impacts of the program, while education and job training services did. When EHS parents received education or job training services, it led to impacts not only on mother employment, but also on other important family and child outcomes. These findings validate and reinforce the two-generation approach of EHS, specifically supporting the focus on parenting and parent education and job training.
