Substance abuse linked to genetic, environmental, and peer influencesAbby_Dickens
Substance abuse has been linked to several negative effects. Often, the cause of substance abuse is connected to one’s peers who hold a personal or familial influence. However, could other influences — namely genetic and environmental influences – play a role in substance abuse? Researchers from Florida Atlantic University, University of Montreal, the University of Quebec, and Laval University sought to find out.

EFFECT OF PARENTS’ INFLUENCE ON SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR AMONG STUDENTS IN SECONDAR...paperpublications3
Abstract:Increased sexual liberty and early initiation of adolescents into sexual activities have led to irresponsible and risky sexual behaviors among the adolescents. However, regardless of the availability of various sources of information about sexuality and reproduction, the adolescents are yet to adopt safe sexual behaviors. This has raised questions about the effects of parents on sexual behaviors among adolescent students. This study sought to investigate the effects parents' influence on the sexual behaviors among students in secondary schools in Nyahururu Division, Laikipia County. This study adopted an ex post facto research design. A random sample, of 338 respondents, was chosen from the seven randomly selected schools. Data was collected through administration of a structured questionnaire to the selected respondents. The collected data was then processed and analyzed descriptively using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 17 for Windows. The content validity of the research instrument was established by ascertaining that it contained information that answered the research objectives. The instrument was piloted to ensure reliability and it gave a reliability coefficient of 0.82. The study finding indicated that most parents encouraged their adolescent children to have good sexual behaviors. They, however, lacked effective communication skills to pass their good intentions to their adolescent children and thus making their discussions on sexual matters boring and uninteresting. The study recommends the need for parents to adopt effective communication skills that could enable them pass their good sexual intentions to their adolescent children.

What factors affect the quality of our relationships?(Autumn R. Scrivens)University of West Georgia
Abstract
Risky attachment styles are behaviors that are high risk and enacted by an impulse that can eventually lead to engaging in sexual acts with a person who has a sexually transmitted infection/ disease or someone who is at risk of becoming pregnant. Girls who grew up in a two-parent household or one parent household but the father was present during adolescent years have shown to engage in less risky attachment styles; whereas girls who grew up without a father figure or a non-parent household have shown to engage in riskier attachment styles such as avoidant and insecure/ambivalent styles. Past research experiences shows’ evidence that the impact of a fatherly figure can affect how young girls choose their relationships but this impact was not as definite in young males. Because the research is so biased, the following research identifies the factors that affect the quality of our relationships based on the impact of a fatherly figure and how this impact affects young girls' attachment styles when in a relationship. Finally, I offer implications for this research from a social and psychological aspect.
Keywords: attachment styles, relationships, Introduction
The factors that affect the quality of our relationships provides researchers with a qualitative framework for the understanding of the overall effects of the parental figure being a part of the development of the child; and how this development affects how young ladies and men get involved in quality relationships. These factors also give researchers the opportunity to understand how the emotional and physical relationship between a father and daughter affect how the daughters that did not grow up with healthy paternal relationships have underlying sexual factors and attachment styles. The significance of this research is to identify which factors from various upbringing whether being one parent, two-parent, or care system household affect the quality of our relationships. Furthermore, this research will explain what our upbringing says about those who we enter relationships with or keep in our life. At this stage in the research, the factors that define the quality of relationships for young ladies and men between the ages of 15 to 24 are scarce. Some deficiencies within each article in regards to research between the physical and emotional bond are described as strong emotional bonds and a need for a consistent partner but there were no articles that related to emotional development and how fathers play a major part in this development. Because of these various deficiencies, by using qualitative methods during my research I hope to explore the emotional and physical bond between a father and daughter while using personal experiences and various.

Comparative Analysis
The purpose of this presentation is to compare two research studies.
The topic of the comparison is the effect of parental conflict on adolescent adjustment.
Research includes four studies of which two will be compared.
Study A – Forehand, McCombs, Long, Brody, and Fauber
Conducted by: Rex Forehand, Amanda McCombs, Nicholas Long, Gene Brody, and Robert Fauber
Title: Early adolescent adjustment to recent parental divorce: The role of interparental conflict and adolescent sex as mediating variables
Date of study: December 30, 1987
Purpose of the study
To determine if a relationship exists between parental conflict after divorce and adolescent adjustment and whether gender of the child influences the outcome.
Study Summary
Studied 96 adolescents aged 11 – 15 years old.
Participants were equally divided between gender.
Used teacher completed measures of behavior to assess:
Social and social withdraw behavior.
Cognitive function.
Externalization of problems.
Study sought to determine if parental conflict was causal to poor adolescent adjustment and if there were any differences between male and female adolescents.
Study Design
This study was conducted using a correlational design.
Researchers conducted study to determine if relationships between high parental conflict and adolescent adjustment existed.
Researchers compared several groups of adolescents from homes with intact parents, divorced parents, high conflict, and low conflict to determine relationship.
No changes were made within the groups to affect an outcome.
Method
Original sample size: 170
Participants included: 96 adolescents equally divided by gender and their mothers
Participants were recruited through notices, fliers, direct mail advertising, and local media advertising.
Participants were selectively placed in eight groups of 12 students.
Groups were broken down by socioeconomic status, parental marital status, parental conflict (high vs. low), and gender.
Parental conflict was determined using the O’Leary-Porter Scale. High conflict was defined as means lower than 30; low conflict was defined as means higher than 30.
Findings were based on surveys completed by the child, parent, and teacher and observational sessions.
Method II
Several survey instruments were utilized in the study:
O’Leary-Porter Scale – determinant of level of parental conflict.
> 30 – High conflict family
< 30 – Low conflict family
Married family average mean – 30
Four groups were classified low conflict – mean 34
Four groups were classified high conflict – mean 24
Teacher’s Rating Scale of Child’s Actual Competence (TRS) – assesses the teacher’s judgment of actual competence of the child.
The Revised Behavior Problem Checklist Subscales Conduct Disorder and Anxiety Withdrawal (RBPC) – used to assess internalization and externalization of problems.

With the objective of evaluating sexual behavior and perspective on sex education to a sample of 110 students belonging to a secondary school in the city of Maracaibo, Venezuela, a descriptive study was carried out with a longitudinal section, with a non - Field experiment. The students were given a survey with different ways of answering. The first part of the instrument measured aspects related to sexual behavior and the second, knowledge about sex education. The results of the study showed statistically significant differences (P< 0.05) for items: At what age did you first have sex? How many sexual partners have you had? Do you use any contraceptive method regularly? For the rest of the variables there was no significance. It is concluded that the sexual activity of the sample studied is not precocious, the product of good sexual orientation in the home.

The Influence of Gender Role Attitude on Marital Conflict Among “Gerji Condom...Ashenafi Tesfaye
Traditional marital gender role attitude is prevalent among married couples at Gerji Condominium residents.
Age, sex and education significantly influence the gender role attitude of the residents.
The relationship between gender role attitude and marital conflict is statistically significant.
This means couples with traditional marital attitude are more prone to conflicts as the role expectations and inability of realizing that usually leads to conflict.

2. Abstract
While extensive research has gone into investigating family influence on factors such as party
and candidate selection in national elections, few studies exist which focus on the effects of
family in a referendum pertaining to same-sex marriage. The aim of this study was to
investigate the influence that people’s families had on how and whether they voted in
Ireland’s 2015 marriage referendum, focusing particularly on the trickle-up impact that
younger family members had on their older relatives. Throughout this study, socialization
theory was employed as a framework from which to explain the power that people have to
influence their family’s voting behaviour. Data from over 400 participants was gathered via
an online self-completion survey and was analysed using SPSS. Results of this quantitative
study point towards the fact that one’s family has the power, not only to influence one’s views
on same-sex marriage, but also to govern their voting behaviour. Overall, the findings
demonstrate a strong link between family discussion and voting behaviour. It can be
concluded that, in terms of the 2015 marriage referendum, family acted as a site of influence,
a medium through which discussions were facilitated, disagreements were had and opinions
were shared. The results also provide an alternative way to study the effects of disagreement
in family discussion. The research framework is very applicable to future researchers who
wish to study family influence on an abortion referendum, something which is undoubtedly
on the horizon for Ireland.
