Attributions In The Adult Mother-Daughter Relationship, Angela R. Cheney Aug 1994

Attributions In The Adult Mother-Daughter Relationship, Angela R. Cheney

Theses and Dissertations

The study explored mother-daughter relationships within the attributional relationship paradigm. Literature on mother-daughter relationships has been contradictory in characterizing the relationship as either mutually satisfying and fulfilling or as a source of considerable turmoil.

The study addressed: would the relationships between satisfaction and attributions found in other close relationships also be obtained in adult mother-daughter relationships; do mothers and daughters differ in level of satisfaction with the relationship or in the nature of the attributions made; is age related to satisfaction or attributions?

Quality Assurance Issues In The Delivery Of Assistive Technology Services, Donald N. Olson

Physical Therapy Scholarly Projects

In general, pre service professional programs do little to prepare students to deal with technological interventions. Some professionals who want to improve their competence in this area are doing so through graduate or post-graduate study, workshop attendance, or clinical …

A Comparison Of Relationships Between Older Adults And Their Close Friends And Adult Children., Brett Eric Schur

Theses and Dissertations

The support which older widowed women receive from their adult children and their friends has been the subject of wide ranging support. The support needs of this group include companionship, emotional support, and assistance with the practical aspects of daily living such as household chores and transportation for shopping and medical appointments. More recently, the life satisfaction of older adults has measured as a method for understanding the impact of relationships between older adults and their adult children and friends. The consistent finding has been that relationships with adult children have no impact on life satisfaction, while relationships with friends …
