“…The remaining 22.6 per cent of children resided with neither of their biological parents (Holborn & Eddy, 2011). Previous studies reported that children from one-parent families were more likely to experience negative outcomes such as delinquent behaviour compared to those from two-parent families (McLanahan & Sandefur, 1994;Amato, 2005;Nqweni, Pinderhughes & Hurley, 2010). Diminished well-being of children in single-parent families may result from lower levels of parental monitoring (Waldfogel, Craigie & Brooks-Gunn, 2010;Basson, 2013).…”

This study aimed to determine the effects of family structure and functioning on basic psychological need fulfilment, life goals and aspirations of adolescents in a South African setting. Participants were 457 adolescent learners (Mage = 16.31, SD = 1.45, females = 54%, coloured = 56%) selected from four public schools in the Western Cape, South Africa. The adolescents completed the Family Assessment Device, Aspirations Index and Psychological Needs Scales. Results following multiple regression analysis suggested that a two-parent family structure predicted higher satisfaction of basic psychological needs and higher pursuit of extrinsic goals among adolescents than did a one -parent family structure. Family functioning determined pursuit of intrinsic goals by adolescents from one-parent families.

“…Cultural context significantly shapes behaviour, including how people feel, think and interact socially, as well as what constitute distress and the threshold for distress (Moleiro, 2018). It has long been observed that Western, individualistic cultures tend to shape the behaviours of individuals somewhat differently from non-Western, collectivist cultures (Huntington, 1996;Nqweni, Pinderhughes, & Hurley, 2010;Padmanabhanunni, 2019). In this context, what constitutes anxiety and the threshold for detecting and endorsing the same may differ between individualistic and collectivists cultures.…”

The Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) is a self-report scale used to assess general anxiety symptoms. Although the GAD-7 has been found to be a valid scale among adults, studies examining its psychometric properties among adolescents in high-income countries are notably limited and particularly non-existent in low- and middle-income countries. The current study addresses this lacuna by investigating the factorial validity, construct validity, internal consistency and discriminant accuracy of the GAD-7. Data were collected from 553 adolescents (boys = 231; average age = 16.85) recruited from a senior high school in Ghana, a sub-Saharan African country, using cross-sectional self-report methodology. The result supports a unidimensional structure of the GAD-7 that was invariant across gender. The GAD-7 correlates significantly with measures of anxiety, suicidal tendencies and mental well-being, suggesting construct validity. The internal consistency of the GAD-7, based on the mean inter-item correlation value of 0.24 and Cronbach’s a = 0.69, is adequate. The GAD-7 similarly discriminated between individuals at high risk of suicidal tendencies and depression from those with low or no risk, with area under curve values of 0.71 and 0.70, respectively. The GAD-7 is a reliable and valid measure to screen for generalised anxiety disorder among adolescents in Ghana.

“…We also based the system on the need to develop a motivational profile in the professional development of teachers (Guzmán, 2019), data of the impact of moral actions on the intensification of moral growth (Yao, 2018), and theories of adult education, which are appropriate for students aged 18-21. We assimilated the ideas of modern scholars about the importance of consolidating identity between parents and children (Sugimura, 2018), significance of parental influence in order to prevent negative behavior (Nqweni et al, 2010).…”

Nowadays higher education is developing in accordance with new needs of modern school. The main task of this process is to provide necessary conditions for the spiritual and moral development of the child's personality. This task determines the emergence of new approaches and innovative pedagogical tools, which include information and communication technologies. In this regard, the issue of future teacher's competence in the field of new and creative performance of educational tasks is being actualized. The article describes a specially designed system, which is aimed at the improvement of future teacher's readiness for the child's spiritual and moral development by means of using traditional Ukrainian fairy tales-SMDC (spiritual and spiritual development of the child). SMDC requires the use of information and communication technologies. This is a pedagogical tool, which is designed for students of the Bachelor's degree program in Primary Education. The system requires: 1) development of a package of multimedia materials; 2) selection of educational materials, which contain tools for the child's spiritual and moral education; 3) creation of students' own materials, which are aimed at their personal and professional development.
