Relational influences Flashcards
Conflict
The perception that 2 parties, whether individuals or groups, believe that they have incompatible goals, ideas, or behaviour
1) Imposed solution
Are dictated solutions eg: a parent settles a dispute
2) Distributive solution
A lose/lose solution where neither party gets exactly what they want but they come to an agreement
3) Integrative solution
A win/win solution, both sides benefits (difficult)
1) Counselling
Usually when conflict arises in the family counsellors will try to help clients solve their own problem
2) Negotiation
Parties have some shared interests but also some opposed interests (Talk to reach an agreement)
3) Mediation and arbitration
Bringing in a 3rd party to settle conflict. They have the right to hand down a decision after listening to both parties present their arguments
Socialisation
The process by which we learn to become members of our society, both by internalising the norms and values of society, and by learning to perform our social roles.
(SCOTT & MARSHAL 2009)
Attachment
The formation of a strong emotional bond between mother and her baby.
Authoritarian
Demand obedience from their children. They set many rules and give few explanations for them
Authoritative
Set limits for their children however, the parent’s demands are reasonable and they make sure that their children understand the reasons for the rules they set
Permissive
Provides parental acceptance of children, but there are a few rules or guidelines. Children’s activities are not closely monitored and parents rarely try to control their behaviour. Children are allowed to express themselves as they please.
Uninvolved
Parents who have either rejected their children or who are so overwhelmed with the stresses in their own lives that they have no time or energy left for their children. As a result, their approach is extremely lax. They do not set limits or enforce behaviour or show interest in their children.
