The purpose of this study is to examine the connection between self-esteem and family relations with the level of depression, anxiety and stress amongst teenagers in public housing. Respondents for the study consist of 379 teenagers living in public housings in various parts of Federal Territory, Kuala Lumpur. Self-esteem was measured using Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (1965) while the Index of Family Relations by Hudson (1993) was employed to evaluate the relationships between family members. Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale by Lovibond and Lovibond (1995) was used to measure the level of depression, anxiety and stress amongst the respondents. Data  were analysed using descriptive analysis and Pearson Correlation. The findings of the study showed that  teenagers have a medium level of self esteem, whilst majority of the respondents have problems with their family. The result showed that there was a significant relationship between selfesteem and depression, anxiety and stress. Family relations also played an important part in contributing to the level of depression, anxiety and stress amongst teenagers.

A total of 338 students enrolled at University of Balikesir, Bandirma College of Nursing and University of Bozok, College of Nursing formed the research sample tested under this study. Data were obtained by employing the “Personal Data Inquiry Form”, “Coopersmith Self- Esteem Inventory” and “Subjective Well-being Scale”. For the statistical evaluation of data, frequency distribution, t test, one-way analysis of variance and correlation coefficient were used. Of the participants 76.9% female and 23.1% male and the average age was 20.45 years. Most described their levels of income as average (80.2%) and family household relations as being at good levels (78.1%). The study revealed the presence of a positive significant relationship between subjective well-being and self-esteem levels of students. Furthermore, a significant relation was observed also between the subjective well-being and selfesteem levels of students by their perceived income levels and family relations. While a significant difference was observed between the subjective well-being and self-esteem scores by gender, no difference was found to exist between subjective well-being scores. At the end of the study, a significant relationship was found to exist between subjective well-being and self-esteem levels of nursing students.   Keywords - Subjective well-being, self-esteem, nursing, university student

The article is devoted to the problem of self-destructive behavior of the individual in adolescence, which has become quite common in modern Russia. The paper presents an analysis of the concept of "self-destructive behavior", provides various points of view and approaches to this concept, and draws a parallel between such concepts as "deviant behavior" and "addictive behavior". Special attention is paid to the leading socio-psychological factors that contribute to the emergence of self-destructive behavior in adolescence, among which there are violations of family relations, difficulties in adapting adolescents in society, features of self-esteem and self-attitude, difficulties in communicating with adults and peers. The article presents the results of an experimental study on the identification of socio-psychological determinants of self-destructive behavior of adolescents. The main methods were used: conversation, observation (I A. Korobeynikov); questionnaire of suicide risk (modification of T.N. Razuvaeva); method of diagnostics of the degree of manifestation of codependent behavior patterns of B. Weyhold; questionnaire "behavior of parents and the attitude of teenagers to them" (L.I. Wasserman, I.A. gorkova, E.E. Romitsina); method of studying self-esteem by Dembo-Rubinstein; multi-level personal questionnaire "Adaptability" (A.G. Maklakov); method of studying self-relation of S.R. Pantileev, V.V. Stolina. The authors concluded that the study group of adolescents has a tendency to deviant behavior, most often, it is tobacco Smoking, alcohol use, psychoactive substances, many of them have a tendency to suicidal behavior and violation of social norms. As a result of the research, the priority significance of the following socio-psychological determinants for self-destructive behavior of adolescents was determined: expressed negativity of parents' attitude to the adolescent, problems of adaptation, weak and contradictory self-attitude, orientation to unproductive communication styles.

Abstract Technical training plays a significant role in job retention, advancement and increased remuneration potential. Bilingual content has been shown to improve Hispanics understanding of the subject matter and English skills. Family income is a major stabilization or destabilization force in families. We hypothesized that by providing a series of three bilingual training sessions to Hispanic nursery workers related to American culture/life skills (LS) and/or horticulture skills (HS) that could potentially lead to job advancement opportunities, we could improve workers' self-esteem, work motivation and family-relations. There were three main objectives to this study: 1) to assess the validity of a Spanish translated version of The Index of Family Relations (IFR) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) to evaluate family adjustment problems and self-esteem, respectively, when administered to 97 adult Hispanic nursery employees in seven Ohio nurseries in 2005 and 2006; 2) to determine if nurseries differed in their training needs; and, 3) to define which type of training LS or HS (without LS) could improve family adjustment and/or self-esteem. Ninety seven (43% female, 57% male) of 150 employees originally contacted (35%), completed all three trainings and both pre-and post-testing, which were requirements for inclusion in the analyses. The 35% attrition rate (26% with males, 8% with females, averaged over 7 nurseries) indicates the difficulties in offering even a free, on-farm training program for Hispanic nursery employees. The results of the Chronbach's alpha for the IFR and RSE were 0.8 and 0.68 before and 0.86 and 0.7 after the training, respectively, indicating that the IFR and RSE (> 0.6 required validity) tests were valid and marginally valid, respectively, for this audience. Differences in RSE (p < 0.0078) and IFR (p < 0.0625) scores were detected using before and after scores across nurseries with non-opposing or identical distributions. The results indicate that self-esteem and to a lesser extent family relations can be improved by providing nursery need specific training and LS training having the greatest effect across nurseries. At one nursery IFR scores above 30 were observed with only LS lowering scores to non-critical. At some sites basic LS trainings seemed critical before successful HS training discharge. This study seems to identify problem employers and could be fundamental in improving employer/worker relationships within the nursery industry.

The problem of correction of affective personality disorders (for example, reducing the manifestations of hyper dynamic syndrome), analyzes the main approaches to its solution. We determined the causes and forms of attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity. To characterize the basic correction means reducing the manifestations of hyper dynamic behavior, which includes two areas with different content and psycho social and recreational components. The first direction is connected with the conduct of an individual or group psycho-correction work; the second – social and recreational include tasks aimed at providing social and psychological support to the individual. It is shown that the problem of hyperactive behavior is determined by the individual variability and natural features caused by human development. Psychological studies suggest the importance of external, social factors, primarily adequate forms of organization and communication, the influence of family relations on the manifestations of hyperactivity. It is shown that the implementation of psycho-pedagogical bases of overcoming hyperactivity leads to increased self-esteem, developing the ability to plan and predict their own behavior and, as a consequence – the disclosure of the individual adaptation possibilities

The present research examined the relationship between parenting practices and children's characteristics. Specifically, the study focused on the children's characteristics, such as age, gender, birth order, and family structure, which influence parenting practices and have an impact on children's family relations, school performance, social competence, and children's self-esteem. The sample consisted of 336 Greek-speaking parents who had children age six up to twelve years old. Most of the participating parents were mothers (77%), with an average age of 35,7 +5,18. A large majority of the participants (75%) were a part of two parents-family, and 25% were a one parent-family. Parents answered four self-report questionnaires: Α Personal Information Form (PIF) was used to collect information about family and children's characteristics, the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ-mother and father version), the Parental Authority Styles (PAQ) Questionnaire and the Children's Family Relations, School Performance, Social Competence, and Self-Esteem Questionnaire. Research results showed that children's characteristics (gender, age, and birth order) are significantly related to parents' parenting styles. Furthermore, the family structure (one or two parents - family) was statistically significant in parenting practices. As a result, parenting practices affected children's family relations, social competence, school performance, and self-esteem. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0734/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
