What makes sibling rivalry a very pertinent issue to the human condition is its prevalence throughout recorded history. For…
Firstly this essay will look at whether ‘only children’ display any difference in emotional and behavioural qualities to their counterparts with siblings. There have been many studies carried out to see if ‘only children’ exhibited different emotional and behavioural patterns to children with siblings. Falbo (1992) looked in to this, in an attempt to find out whether ‘only children’ where as emotionally stable as those children that had siblings. Falbo conducted a large number of studies and when collating the results found that only children scored higher than others on achievement, motivation and self-esteem. She also concluded that only children did not stand out from the crowd when looking at areas such as generosity, autonomy, anxiety and popularity. It was also found that only children were no more likely than others to get in to trouble at school. Another observation made by Falbo was that the home life of an only child was more likely to encourage intellectual activities, due to having an increased amount of…
An employee assistance program (EAP) is an arrangement between a corporation, academic institution or government agency and its employees; it provides a variety of support programs for the employees. They are typically services designed to assist employees on getting help for their problems, so that they may remain on the job and be effective. Although EAPs are aimed mainly at work-related difficulties, they can also help employees with problems that originate outside the workplace when such troubles impact work attendance or on-the-job performance.…

Family is one of the biggest external factors in a child’s development. The first three years of a child’s life are when their foundations are laid out influencing what type of a person they may grow up to be. A child who is given lots of love, attention and guidance are more likely to thrive compared to those who are ignored. At this very early age parents and siblings are the most important thing in a child’s life so everything they do can influence a child, this is when they first start to imitate other peoples actions so if a child is in a stimulating environment then they are more likely to want to continue to be stimulated when they reach school age.…
This essay will use the model of the diversity of family relationships to demonstrate the processes that social psychologists employ to study the complex intricacies from the social psychoanalytical and social cognitive perspectives of close relationships in sibling relationships and couples. It will acknowledge the conflicted psyche in dynamic relation with the external world in the social psychoanalytical perspective and the individual as an “information processor” within their social world from a cognitive social perspective, and discuss whether this is as a result of individual choice and agency indicating autonomy, or the societal pressures experienced and structures or forces of society that influence human behaviours. After reading the research papers, my inclination is to agree with Steve Duck suggestion (1999, cited in Sclater, 2007) that when considering close relationships it is necessary to take account of a multiplicity of factors in order to be able to make an evaluation. Close relationships are both formed by the individual as well as the social world around them and each is interwoven in their creation.…
In a recent study, investigating the effects of children, data has been recorded. The results showed that children from single parent households, were more independent, but less socially acclimated than those children who were raised by both parents, mom and dad. This essay will highlight the differences among the organization of families. It will also give insight as to how these structural differences affect the children of the prospective families’ educational performance. To explore this topic and to provide more depth, concepts of democracy and various forms of dialogue will be discussed.…
The argument for a two parent family is often that a child raised by two parents receives more attention and care, and that they experience less distress as they don’t have to suffer a separation or the repercussions of one. Although in many cases this can be true, it isn’t a solid argument as it is not certain that every child with only one parent receives little or less attention (it often depends on the parent(s’) profession(s), and it is not certain that every child with only one parent is in their situation because of a divorce or separation. Also, the effects of attention on children are not a case of ‘more attention means higher IQ’ or ‘more attention means happier child’, as the health and happiness of a child depends on a number of things. However, it is true that in cases where the child does not experience a separation or divorce, the child is much more likely to have a happy childhood.…
The structures build upon family values and characteristics of the individual children all influence sibling relationships. Although relationships in the family dynamic are greatly impacted, the parent-child bond have the greatest effect on sibling relationships. When children are adolescents, attitudes of individualism is factored in sibling interconnection. Meanwhile for older children, relationships can be influenced by their personal charisma, social and logical skills. Family formation refers to the number and sex of the children as well adults comprising the exact type of relationship whether adopted or biological, birth arrangement and age or spacing of each child. In all aspects family depends greatly on the guidance of results for children. The size of households refers on growing up in a small family versus larger can effect the differences on a child upbringing which can sometimes be positive or negative or both. Children in smaller families seem to have less experiences in association but do have more individual time with their parents. Opposed to larger families where you'll find higher tangible punishment, rule adjustments and more indivisible parent and children relationships which both scenarios can also lead to sibling rivalry.…
Bowlby was attempting to understand the extreme distress from infants, who had been separated from their parents, which left the infants in discomfort. A child’s attachment to their main caregiver creates a feel of security, therefore the child has the ability to seek out the world with determination, and without the feeling of being threaten or a exposure. The bond between an infants and their main caregiver results in how they will later get along with their peers, or how well they do in school, and how they will act to stressful situations. The cases where an infant doesn’t receive any attachment bond from a caregiver, which can lead to many problem into that infant’s adulthood. Depression and anxiety is the main factors for not having an attachment and leads to social phobia. This paper was about the differences between a child who has a bond with their main caregiver, and a child who doesn’t have a bond or has no main caregiver. My thought was a child without a caregiver will likelyhood have relationship issues with another human being or…
