Abstract

Stepfather–stepdaughter relationship quality is linked to the child’s psychological well-being and stepfamily stability. However, there is still a lack of understanding of the dynamics of these relationships among sociodemographically diverse stepfamilies including families in different cultures. The aim of this research was to explore two Indonesian young women’s interpretations of the quality of their relationships with their stepfathers. The phenomenological study was conducted via interviews, and the women discussed their experiences in depth. The women’s perceptions of the quality of their connections with their stepfathers were primarily influenced by their stepfathers’ to build the relationships. The five dimensions of the theory of relationship quality were applied to assessing the women’s relationships with their stepfathers, and both women reported their relationships as largely negative, although one did have some positive memories. Suggestions are offered for future research that can expand on these findings, for instance through collecting data from all involved biological parents and stepparents.

Abstract

This psychometric study aims to contribute to the evolving cross-cultural definition of workaholism by exploring the reliability and validity of using the Workaholism Battery (WorkBAT; Spence & Robbins, 1992) in a sample of 183 full-time white-collar workers in Malaysia. Using data from online surveys, collected from full-time white-collar workers in the private and public sectors, factor analysis was used to indicate factor solutions contributing to the definition of workaholism based on the Spence and Robbins (1992) model of high work involvement, high work drive, and low work enjoyment. The study identified three factors and reassigned the items between them into work enjoyment, work drive, and work withdrawal. A 2-step cluster analysis identified four profiles of work adaptability as workaholics, enthusiastic workaholics, anxious workers, and moderate workers. Criterion validity with working hours was not established indicating workaholism as a distinct construct as suggested by previous studies. Our analysis produced a 3-factor solution suggesting a further syndromic view of the addiction to work. The addition of the third factor of work withdrawal indicates a further shift into looking at workaholism with a clinical lens.

Abstract

Culture has a significant influence on parenting and the Theory of Mind (ToM). The impact of intracultural aspects requires greater investigation. Our research explores the intracultural influence of the location of the domicile of families on young children’s acquisition of ToM and parenting practices. Surveys were given to 350 children (ages 3 to 6) and their parents. Domiciles were divided into three groups: i) the urban area of Jakarta, ii) the suburbs in satellite cities near Jakarta (Bogor and Tangerang), and iii) the rural area of Bukittinggi. This research aims to determine whether there are significant differences in parenting practices and ToM between the three groups. Most participants are of a low socioeconomic level. The comparative results show significant differences in the ToM performance of children living in the three areas; children living in rural areas tend to have higher scores on ToM, followed by urban areas and then the suburbs. This result may be influenced by parents’ parenting practices, where parents in rural Bukittingi have a higher score on conformity and collectivist parenting than the other two groups.

Abstract

The human beings have evolved together with microbes and are continuously exposed to diverse microbiota. A healthy gut flora promotes health and affords robust immune system, which is often advertised by probiotic supplements. These probiotics promises to build and restore gut flora health. Researches elucidate that gut bacteria are indispensable for our digestive system, and directly influence our moods, our weight, and our perception of the world. We discuss how urbanization possibly disturbs the symbiosis between microbiota and the human beings which leads to a negative impact on health. This review article summarized the previously reported studies and examines the role of microbiota in moods and well-being of urban population, specifically to anxiety and depression. Further, we identify the lacunae in the present research and advise the possible research methods to pursue for further understanding of the role microbiota population has on well-being.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal whether there are differences in father-child relationships and mother-child relationships based on gender and to determine whether the father-child and mother-child relationship affects smartphone addiction in adolescents. This research used quantitative methods. The research participants were 159 male and 229 female adolescents aged 10-15 years in Surabaya and Sidoarjo. Research data was obtained using a questionnaire distributed online (google forms). The data were processed by using a t-test and multiple regression analysis. This research concludes that the quality of the father-child and mother-child relationship does not differ across gender. Father-child relationships and mother-child relationships both affect teenagers' smartphone addiction. The implication of this study emphasizes the importance of parents forming positive quality parent-child relationships by being friends with children, communicating intimately, and reducing parent-child conflicts. Further research is recommended to examine parent-child relationships from two perspectives: parents and adolescents or conduct qualitative research to describe the dynamics of parent-child relationships and smartphone addiction in adolescents. Keywords: Parent-child relationship, smartphone addiction, gender, adolescent

Abstract

Childhood adversity involves a wide range of negative experiences that pose a serious threat to a child’s wellbeing. It has been consistently shown to predict (chronic) depression in subsequent stages of development, but mechanisms underlying the relationship are still less clear. Moving from a cumulative approach of lumping heterogeneous categories of childhood adversity to a dimensional approach of classifying negative experiences into two major dimensions (threat and deprivation) has facilitated the identification of specific processes by which childhood adversity can predict depression. This review aims to provide an integrative overview of how childhood adversity increases the risk for depression using the biopsychosocial framework. We will summarize findings from neuroimaging, behavioral, and social research. Recommendations for future research and preventions/interventions are also discussed.

Abstract

The relationship between teachers and parents plays an important role not only in determining the success of student learning at school but also in influencing the subjective well-being of teachers. However, the ideal teacher-parent relationship is not always possible. Often there are conflicts between parents and teachers that make student learning outcomes at school not optimal. A poor relationship between teachers and parents will also reduce the subjective well-being of teachers. This paper will analyze the management of good teacher-parent relationship to improve the subjective well-being of teachers. This study uses a literature review method from 14 research journal articles to identify the problems that become barriers on parents teacher relationships. The study found that differences in perceptions of student abilities between teachers and parents caused the most conflicts in the teacher-parent relationship. Furthermore, the results of the study found that trust and communication skills are two important elements for managing teacher-parent partnerships which ultimately play a role in increasing teachers subjective well-being. The implications of the results of this study become a reference for school institutions to pay more attention to the subjective well-being of teachers by designing strategies to improve teacher-parent relationship.
