Internal and relational pathways to resilience and coping among youth experiencing homelessness
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Youth experiencing homelessness are often portrayed as being amongst the most at-risk youth, due to increased risks of adverse outcomes. In turn, these youth have historically been pathologized and blamed for their status, and consequently, many experience stigma, isolation, and vulnerability. Although adverse outcomes are frequently experienced among this population, many possess notable strengths and demonstrate resilience and adaptive coping. Using a strength-based approach, the aim of this dissertation was to recast the predominant narratives surrounding the outcomes and interpersonal relationships of youth experiencing homelessness. Accordingly, in order to obtain a more nuanced understanding of the developmental dimensions involved in the well-being of these youth, a number of questionnaires were administered to a group of 102 youth experiencing homelessness in the region of Montreal (Mage= 20, SD= 2.07, 30.4% female) during a program of research. In the 1st paper, I investigated the associations among attachment relationships with mothers, fathers, and peers, and the use of various socioecological resources that likely contribute to resilience among the youth. The findings revealed through linear regressions that higher self-reported levels of attachment with parental figures were associated with increased engagement in seeking support from others (relational resilience), while higher self-reported levels of peer attachment were associated with higher levels of engagement in personal coping techniques (individual resilience), such as locus of control, and of environmental resources (contextual resilience), such as the use of community and spiritual resources. Further, an exploratory analysis revealed gender differences between attachment figures and resilience domains. Specifically, individual resilience was highly correlated with maternal attachment for the female participants but not for the males. Conversely, individual resilience was also correlated with paternal and peer attachment for the males but not for the female participants. Further, relational resilience was significantly associated with maternal attachment among both males and females, but the magnitude of the relationship was significantly higher for the female participants. Relational resilience was also significantly correlated with paternal attachment among males, but not among the female participants. In the 2nd paper, I explored whether motivational orientations (autonomous versus controlled motivation) influenced coping styles (adaptive versus maladaptive coping) among the youth, and further examined whether attachment relationships and gender moderated this relationship. Four regression analyses were conducted and revealed that (1) autonomous motivation was significantly associated with the youth’s adaptive coping, with greater levels of autonomous motivation being associated with higher levels of adaptive coping; and that (2) controlled motivation was significantly associated with the youth’s maladaptive coping, with greater levels of controlled motivation being associated with higher levels of maladaptive coping. The findings revealed a significant main effect of peer attachment on adaptive coping, indicating that greater peer attachment was directly related to greater adaptive coping among the youth. The moderation analyses revealed no significant moderation effects for gender as well as maternal, paternal, and peer attachment. Overall, these findings provide an analysis of the relationships among factors implicated in the well-being of youth experiencing homelessness, add to our understanding of the factors that contribute to their adaptation and reveal the importance of attending to both individual and interpersonal factors when implementing prevention and intervention programs among this vulnerable population

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
