Protecția și promovarea drepturilor copilului: o abordare diacronică

Această lucrare prezintă istoricul principalelor documente – carte, convenții, declarații și reguli – privind protecția și promovarea drepturilor copilului și, implicit, plasamentul și adopția copilului.

LOVE LEARNED EARLY: HOW CHILDHOOD SOCIAL SUPPORT CAPITAL INFLUENCES ROMANTIC LOVE

Background of the Study: It is widely believed that love is a learned behavior, with the common assumption that children who experience love and support are more likely to develop healthy, loving relationships, while those exposed to abuse may continue cycles of abuse in their own partnerships. This study aims to investigate how social support experienced in childhood influences the capacity for marital love in adulthood, addressing the potential long-term impact of early social experiences on later relational dynamics. Method: A total of 114 adults (mean age = 38.4, SD = 6.15) participated in the study. Respondents completed self-administered, individual self-reported questionnaires, standardized and distributed online via Google Forms. The data focused on assessing the relationship between the level of social support perceived during childhood and the dimensions of love in adult relationships, including emotional intimacy, commitment, and passion. Results: As hypothesized, the results indicated a significant positive association between the social support felt during childhood and the ability to experience and express love in adulthood. Respondents who reported higher levels of childhood social support demonstrated stronger love dimensions in their adult relationships, suggesting that a nurturing early environment contributes to healthier relational outcomes later in life. Conclusion: The findings of this study highlight the crucial role of childhood social support in shaping an individual’s capacity for love and emotional connection in adulthood. These results underscore the importance of early positive social experiences for the development of healthy, long-lasting marital relationships, providing valuable insights for interventions and strategies aimed at fostering emotional well-being from childhood through adulthood. results highlight the importance of addressing family conflict to mitigate its potential negative effects on child development.

Predictors of Anxiety in Romanian Generation Z Teenagers

Adolescence is a very complex period of life, full of challenges, and explorations that young people have to face on the path to becoming adults. In adolescence, specific deviations from the everyday lifestyle, as well as emotional failures or imbalances, may also occur. When things tend to become more and more unclear, adolescents come to directly face some form of anxiety. The present study concerns the relationship of Romanian adolescents with their fathers from the perspective of anxiety issues. For this, an anonymous questionnaire was applied using a sample of availability of 558 teenagers and a complementary second questionnaire was intended for their fathers (N2 = 114 subjects). The questionnaire addressed to Generation Z Romanian adolescents included items regarding the self-assessment of one’s own behaviour and relationship with one’s father, as well as the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7). The questionnaire addressed to the fathers included mirror questions regarding the relationship with their children. The main results showed that the relationship between adolescents and their fathers has an ambivalent impact on anxiety: if it is a strong relationship, the risk to develop anxiety decreases, while if it is a weak relationship, it increases the risk of anxiety

A Network Analysis Approach toward Adaptive Overt Narcissism Network

The relationship between narcissistic personality and art and beauty appreciation has recently become the focus of research investigations. Adaptive narcissists raise their sense of worth in order to shield themselves from harm caused by others. Because they aspire to be more attractive, healthier, and successful versions of themselves, they frequently have greater success in life than the majority of people. Grandiose and overtly narcissistic behavior are the main recognized characteristics of an overt narcissist, which is currently regarded as a personality disorder that puts mental health and wellbeing at peril. On a random sample collection of data from 1101 respondents to an online questionnaire, we conducted a network analysis of the Adaptive Overt Narcissism Scale (AONS) items. In this study, we used a network analysis approach to examine the network structure of adaptive overt narcissism, as well as its relationships with psychological functioning. The present study utilized network analysis to investigate the centrality measures of items in the Adaptive Overt Narcissism Scale (AONS) and their interrelationships. Results indicated that item Q6.8 (“I appreciate art and beauty”) had low betweenness, closeness, and strength centrality measures, indicating that it was less influential in the network. However, it also had negative expected influence, suggesting that its absence would have a destabilizing effect on the network. These results highlight the importance of the appreciation of art and beauty in deactivating the adaptive overt narcissist network. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms underlying this relationship and its implications for narcissism prevention and intervention

Association between Facebook Use, Depression and Family Satisfaction: A Cross-Sectional Study of Romanian Youth

Background: In recent years, Facebook has increasingly become an essential part of the lives of people, particularly youths, thus many research efforts have been focused on investigating the potential connection between social networking and mental health issues. This study aimed to examine the relationship between Facebook use, emotional state of depression, and family satisfaction.&#x0D; Methods: This study used the online survey created in Google Docs on the Facebook ‘wall’, as research method. The survey was available during Jun-Jul 2015 in Romania. In our cross-sectional study on a sample of 708 young Facebook users (aged 13-35), we divided the sample into 3 groups: ordinary, middle, and intense Facebook users. Materials and instruments: the survey comprised a series of basic demographic as well as some measures of Facebook addiction, depression, and family satisfaction. We used two methods connected with extensive Facebook usage, the first one measuring only the intensity of use, and the second one measuring not only the intensity but also the consequences of this use.&#x0D; Results: Facebook engagement is negatively related to family satisfaction. Moreover, Facebook engagement is positively related to depression symptoms. The Pearson correlations showed that higher Facebook intensity is positively associated with Facebook addiction.&#x0D; Conclusion: The study confirm previously published findings of other authors in the fields of social networking psychology. The study examined the relationship between Facebook use, depression, and life satisfaction and the hypotheses were supported.&#x0D;  </jats:p

The Impact of Parental External Labour Migration on the Social Sustainability of the Next Generation in Developing Countries

Migration is a frequent phenomenon in the current European context. It is culturally differentiated according to every country, and it has a major role in the social sustainability of families and the next generation. This paper aimed to determine the impact of parents leaving to work abroad on the lives of their left-at-home children. This gives rise to a new phenomenon of &ldquo;social orphans&rdquo;. This research was carried out with the participation of eight adults who, during their childhood, had a parent who went to work abroad for a period of more than one month. The research tool used was the semi-structured interview guide. The research found that the main reason for parents leaving was the precarious financial situation of their families and their need to support their children (materially, educationally, and financially). The research results showed that the resulting greater financial stability did not guarantee that family ties would develop in a positive direction. More than half of the respondents reported a worsening of relationships with family members and experienced major psycho-emotional deprivation. The family has been negatively impacted in the social sustainability of the next generation
