Research Ideas for Future Studies
Question 1
Researching of Emotional and Behavioral Control (EBC) through examining the heterotypic continuity of a children’s since birth to seven years of age. Primarily, children will show a decline in aggressive behaviors as their age increases as they develop a regulatory system that will help them to face adverse events. Additionally, the heterotypic continuity in EBC will be compared to the early features of a children’s adaptation at school (Chang, Shaw & Cheong, 2015). The other idea of the research will be a longitudinal study of children living in poverty and how it results in problems in EBC and other behaviors. However, the research would be based on boys only as they are the one who highly affected with EBC problems.
Question 3
According to Tiel et al, Higher IQ is more significant as those with higher IQ have effective self-perception and higher academic successes in adverse life regardless of gender. The children with higher IQ would exhibit a high level of resilience in adverse life events not only through receiving of closer monitoring but how to be critical and helpful in the event of adverse (Lynch, 2015). In addition, children with higher IQ will not be affected by maternal psychopathology as they will elicit more positive behaviors on the teacher and the mother. Furthermore, children with high IQ will find a way to cope with emotional reactive behavior, somatic complaints, and aggressive behavior regardless of gender. However, studies have indicated that girls to suffer more in adverse events than boys.
Question 5
Resilience could be an integral component of successful treatment as the adolescents with bulimia nervosa finds closure from the parents that make them behave more significant psychosocial outcome. For instance, adolescents with bulimia nervosa would improve their confidence in the treatments (Jewell, Blessitt, Stewart, Simic & Eisler, 2016). Additionally, the improved self-efficiency would have a positive effect on the treatment as the adolescents with bulimia nervosa would not rely on therapy to mediate the communication between the children and the parents. However, in some cases, it could be an aspect of prevention of successful treatment. For example, adolescents with bulimia nervosa would never show an improvement where personal family issues are involved.
Question 6
It is important to the longitudinal research as it will enable more understanding of how to reduce children’s emotions in an adverse environment. For instance, children with disabilities rarely disclose behavioral problems than other children with normal conditions. Researchers had also indicated that children with disabilities experience minimum somatic complaints like fatigue which is a different case to children with normal health (Gutman, 2015). In addition, it has been concluded through research that there is no big difference between children with disabilities and those with those in healthy condition is solving problems that are non-academic, However, the research showed low score between the children with disabilities and the children with normal conditions. This shows that problems like disabilities, adverse environment and other hindrances to the growth of a child could be stabilized to provide a supportive and positive family environment.
IQ as a Protective Factor for Coping with Adverse Life Events
Resilience research it looks things in a constructive way which make it be well recognized by many researchers. For instance, it will look at the importance and the strength of Aboriginal people instead of their negativity. Resilience researches will directly arguments on what to do to the issue. According to the research done by Neil Andersson, the Aboriginals youth who drinks are more likely to smoke cigarettes (Andersson, N. 2008). However, this information it will unimportant in public health as resilience research would provide useful information on how Aboriginals are involved in traditional activities. Additionally, resilience research also alters condition between the communities and researchers. For example, few are encouraged to by being told about their problems as they prefer to learn on their own about their strength.
The research shows there is no integral resilience view on the Aboriginals due to the different integration on views between Western and land displacement. According to Andersson, the indigenous resilience view is more than individuals’ capability to cope successfully to a risk (Ritchie, Wabano, Russell, Enosse & Young, 2014). In addition, the study has shown attributes like wisdom, sense of direction and common sense to have a positive impact on Aboriginals resilience (Aburn, Gott & Hoare, 2016). The purpose of the paper is to show how a shortage of resilience research on Canadian Aboriginals could be increased through three reviews that were examined by John Fleming and Bob Ledogar.
The first review of John and Bob that dealt with key literature in resilience showed that there is a correlation between positive adjustments and adversity (Theron, Liebenberg, & Ungar, 2015). The literature showed how family, society and the environment could promote Aboriginals in Canada. However, researchers disagree with the implication that people could be labeled as damaged. Their second review analyzed the relationship between social capital and resilience. The community feature like reciprocity, trust, and participation can be used to explain the relationship between an individual and social capital. Nevertheless, in spite of social capital having key features, it also contains negative impacts as another social network could be unpredictable (Ross & Berkes, 2014). The last review of Job and John explained the relationship between culture and spirituality. The review showed how integral culture could impact positively on social behavior, substance abuse, and academic achievement. However, there are difficulties in the measurement of spiritual Aboriginals that limits cultural orientation.
In concluding, there are more affirmative challenges that result in the shortage of resilience research on Aboriginals as concluded in Carrielynn Lud’s interview and the story by Karen Edwards. According to Lud, the key challenge in research on Aboriginals the emergency of jealous as other official capacities like nursing prevents one from taking a spiritual path. Furthermore, Tlicho story by Karen highlights how modified questionnaires in four Tlicho did touch the sensitive issues elderly people who could not read Mohatt, Thompson, Thai & Tebes, 2014). The Karen story shows that Aboriginals community in Canada they could turn to the evidence-based phase for their healthy development provided the research is done in an accurate manner. Therefore, for the further research of Aboriginals in Canada, the researcher would have to learn to deal with their tricky ethnic issues for confidentiality of the scientific inputs.
