Adolescence is a period that bears a particular risk for the occurrence of
difficulties in psychosocial adaptation. This research was aimed at
investigating the predictive power of father?s and ...mother?s rearing styles
for the level of internalised (more specifically, anxiety as a trait) and
externalised problems on the sample of adolescents (212), aged 12 to 18. The
following instruments were used in data collection: the Parental Rearing
Style Scale, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and the
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y). The obtained results indicate that an
emotionally cold father?s style of rearing and the restricting style of
rearing of both parents are significant predictors of the level of general
anxiety. When it comes to externalisation, it is shown that cold father?s
style of rearing is the only significant predictor. The results may
contribute to a better understanding of the adaptive capacities of a child
and the family in coping with the critical phases in the development of
children and youth.
This article presents research aimed to investigate the effect of perceived social support on an individual's resilience, with the assumption that it is, at least partially, indirect and that it is ...achieved through cognitive emotion regulation strategies. The Connor‐Davidson Resilience Scale, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were used with a sample group of young adults, comprising 319 respondents from a student population of both genders. The results indicated that the perceived support of family, friends, and a significant other is a significant predictive factor for resilience–the more present these factors are, the greater the resilience. The relationship between the perceived support of friends and resilience is partially direct, and partially indirect, whereby both planning and positive reappraisal have the role of mediators. These results lead to the conclusion that the perceived support of friends is a significant protective factor for mental health, partially because of the fact that it makes an individual more prepared to see a certain stressful situation as an opportunity for personal growth and to actively confront it.

Although aging and old age are the subject of increasing research, the attitude towards one’s own aging seems to be insufficiently researched. This prompted us to examine whether the way we ...experience our own aging, as well as our attitudes towards older people, from adolescence and over a long period of adulthood, but also what is the role of gender and socioeconomic status (earnings and education). The survey was conducted in the Republic of Serbia and included 1,236 respondents (793 women and 443 men). A PORPOS3 battery was used, a purpose-built instrument with 343 questions, which also contains a short scale, Attitude towards one’s own aging with three dimensions: Concern about one’s own aging, Acceptance of aging and Attitude towards the elderly. The results shows that the respondents older than 61 years, in relation to the respondents from 31 to 40 years, but also that the respondents who earn up to 20,000.00 dinars, in relation to those who earn between 71,000.00 and 90,000.00 dinars, have a more negative attitude towards the elderly. In a sample of respondents between the ages of 41 and 50, a positive low-intensity correlation was obtained between concerns about one’s own aging and level of education.

The concept of separation-individuation is one of the most influential paradigms that sprang from the psychoanalytical theory. The process of separation-individuation takes place during the lifetime ...and significantly influences every phase of development in the life-long cycle. Even though this process is determined by the previous experience in adulthood, it is not the copy of the childhood experiences. This paper elaborates on some of the following midlife developmental tasks which influence separation-individuation processes: 1) accepting the aging process in the body; 2) coming to terms with time limitation and personal death; 3) maintaining intimacy; 4) transforming the relationship with grown-up children by letting them go and establishing the relationship with new family members; 5) becoming a grandparent; 6) caring for aging and dying parents; 7) exercising and relinquishing power in the workplace; and 8) building and maintaining friendships.
This study aimed to test the model set up by Obradović and Čudina-Obradović, according to which marital quality is determined by certain traits of marital quality from each of these groups of ...factors: the personality traits of the partners, the characteristics of the marriage, the marital processes and the marital environment. We operationalized this model, by testing the effect personality traits and the tendency towards alcohol consumption of marriage partners (as a personal characteristic of the marriage partner), the duration of the marriage (as the characteristic of the marriage itself), satisfaction with the division of household responsibilities (as one of the indicators of the development of the marital processes) and doubt regarding the marriage partner's fidelity (as the feature of the wider marital environment) have on the experienced marital quality. NEO-PI-R, The Dyadic Adjustment Scale and questionnaire designed for the aims of this study were used on a sample of 199 respondents from Serbia. Our model shows an excellent fit (X2 >.05; RMSEA<.05; GFI>.90; AGFI>.90; CFI>.90; NFI>.90). It can be concluded that Neuroticism, The Duration of marriage, Doubt regarding the partner’s fidelity and Dissatisfaction with the division of household responsibilities have a negative effect on marital quality.

The effort is directed towards displaying different factors of maturity in maturity. The research had a purpose to investigate the differences in investigating the resilience of the respondents from ...wounds, middle and poor maturity in relation to sex, the level of education, spouse and work status. The survey was conducted on samples of 1612 inhabitants of Serbia from 37 towns and villages, of two poles, aged 27-70 years and at all educational levels. A PORPOS battery is used, a dedicated instrument of 389 items and dusts, which, in addition to the second, contains a short scale for estimation of resiliency, as well as a list of general data. The results show that respondents with a deep maturity in relation to those of early and medium maturity are less resilient in terms of all examined factors at a statistically significant level. Specifically, women in the mid-mature period, who will be compared with the other two subgroups of their females, have the greatest resilience, and the females in their mature maturity, compared with the other subgroups of men, have the smallest. Likewise, respondents in a deep maturity are less resilient than the other two subgroups in relation to all levels of education, except for the basic one when they are not married and caregivers. In addition, the respondents in early maturity with the highest level of education are less resilient than those who are in middle maturity. The results obtained generally suggest that the level of resistance changes in the course of the age and that sociodemographic factors should be included in its comprehension.
