Results revealed that orphaned children reported significantly more relationship problems with peers than nonorphans, whereas for nonorphans problems cited were relationship difficulties with caregivers. With all children considered, resignation featured predominantly to manage problems with caregivers rather than in managing problems with both school and peers. Moreover, adolescents used self-criticism and wishful thinking significantly more than children. Implications of the findings are discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
