Self-worth and social support of children exposed to family violence
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The present study, concerning children exposed to family violence, examined the relationships among the children's global self-worth, their perceived social support, their mothers' perceived social support, and their mothers education level. Fifty-six children aged 7 to 13 years from 38 families and their 38 mothers participated in the study. They were recruited through transition houses and community organizations which were offering counseling services for assaulted women and their children in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada. Children were individually asked to complete a demographic information form and certain measures that assessed their global self-worth, their domain-specific competencies, the importance of different domains to them, and their perceived social support. Their mothers were individually asked to complete a demographic information form and a measure that assessed their perceived social support. The study found: (a) Doing well at school was the most significant domain which contributed to children's global self-worth, followed by being good looking, (b) mothers were the most important support providers who contributed to children's global selfworth, followed by non-kin adults (counselors and transition house staff), (c) the amount of support for children was related positively to their global self-worth, (d) children's social support contributed to their global self-worth- together with the mean of discrepancies between their perceptions of competence and their ratings of importance, (e) the higher the level of education the mothers had, the less satisfied they were with supports, and (f) children's social support and discrepancy between their perceptions of competence and their ratings of importance were the two strongest among four factors (children's social support, discrepancy between their perceptions of competence and their ratings of importance, their mothers' social support, and their mothers' education level) as predictors of children's global self-worth. These findings are discussed in light of the current literature that describes outcome data for children exposed to family violence. The thesis ends with a description of potential educational implications.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
