“…Social support has been shown in other studies to directly aid families in maintaining stable employment, increasing their education level, increasing job skills training, and buffering against physical and mental health limitations (Carlton et al, 2006;Corcoran, 1995;Dominguez & Watkins, 2003;Jackson et al, 2000;Lin et al, 2009;Paranjape & Kaslow, 2010). The results of this DFA, when considered with previous resilience research, provide exceedingly strong evidence that Downloaded by [Erciyes University] at 07:34 26 December 2014 social support, as a component of resilience, is indeed a necessary prerequisite to socioeconomic mobility (AUTHORS, 2013;Johnson et al, 2011;Keene & Geronimus, 2011;Tester et al, 2011).…”

“…As a family's level of social support increases, it directly aids the family in (1) maintaining stable employment, (2) receiving adequate housing, (3) increasing education, (4) increasing job skills training, and (5) buffering against physical and mental health limitations (Carlton et al, 2006;Corcoran, 1995;Dominguez & Watkins, 2003;Jackson, Brooks-Gunn, Huang, & Glassman, 2000;Lin, Thompson, & Kaslow, 2009;Paranjape & Kaslow, 2010). However, as pointed out by Distelberg and Taylor (2013), social support alone is not enough.…”

Changing economic times and government policies are reshaping the way the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides services nationwide; there is both a growing demand for housing and a desire to help families become self-sufficient. In this study, the authors examined factors that contribute to increased socioeconomic mobility through the lens of family resilience. Analyzing cross-sectional data from 411 families in the San Bernardino County HUD District using discriminant function analysis, results of this study show strong preliminary evidence that certain components of family resilience predict whether an individual head of household will have full-time employment. The results of this study provide implications for social service programs aimed at socioeconomic mobility.

“…Spirituality is a critical resource that can serve a protective function against a range of negative outcomes (Paranjape & Kaslow, 2010; Yonker, Schnabelrauch, & DeHaan, 2012). Especially for the low-income African American women in the study, spirituality represents a non-financial resource with important implications for parenting (Cain, 2007).…”

Using a culturally-informed risk-protective framework, the purpose of this study was to examine spiritual well-being (existential, religious) as a moderator (protective factor) in the relation between neighborhood disorder (risk factor) and parenting stress in among a high risk sample of low-socioeconomic status (SES), African American women (N = 144). These women, who were primary caregivers of children aged between 8 and 12 reported on disorder in their existential and religious well-being, neighborhoods, and three types of parenting stress. Women who perceived more disorder in their neighborhood had more parenting stress, and women who reported more existential and religious well-being had less parenting stress. Existential (characterized by a sense of purpose in life), but not religious (characterized by a sense of life in relationship with God) well-being, moderated the relation between neighborhood disorder and all types of parenting stress such that women with medium or high levels of existential well-being had low levels of parenting stress at low levels of neighborhood disorder, but higher levels of parenting stress at higher levels of neighborhood disorder. No moderation effects were found at low levels of existential well-being. Results are framed in a context that emphasizes their relevance to incorporating family interventions that bolster culturally relevant resilience factors, such as spirituality, pertinent to low-SES African American families.

“…In some articles, researchers included other study samples as well, but in these studies, the researchers reported results specifically from older women who experienced IPV. We excluded some studies because, although the sample included older women who experienced intimate partner violence, other types of abusers were also included, and data from older women abused by intimate partners were not examined independently (i.e., Paranjape & Kaslow, 2010). The research reviewed was limited to English-language reports of research, and we found articles reporting research conducted in Australia, Canada, Israel, the United States, and Europe, which reflect the areas where most of the services, supports, and advocacy groups for older abused women can be found (Hightower et al, 2006).…”

In this systematic literature review, we synthesized the current knowledge of intimate partner violence experienced by older women. We identified 32 studies that included data collected from older women and synthesized the findings using the ecological model as an organizing framework. Themes in the microsystem included the immediate context in which the abuse takes place and impacts on older women. The mesosystem included themes on the older woman's relationships with her social network. Themes in the exosystem encompassed community-based services. Finally, themes in the macrosystem encompassed broad ideologies, mores, and influences of the geographic location. We used the ecological model to frame a discussion of implications for future research, policy, and practice.
