Abstract
The paper reviews a study done on one mid-western correctional facility that explored the possible antecedents of correctional staff work on family conflict. The paper examines the measures of validity and reliability, as well as proposed changes in methodology for increased validity and reliability. The paper also looks at methodology for the reliability of future studies.
Outline:
Part 1: Validity and Reliability in General
Face Validity
Content Validity
Criterion Validity
Predictive Validity
Construct Validity
Alternate-Forms Reliability
Inter-observer Reliability
Inter-item Reliability
Part 2: Improvements in Reliability and Validity
Replication of the Study
From the Paper
"Self reporting studies are inherently, unless carefully crafted, in the areas of validity and reliability. When reviewing validity, the three measurement areas of idiosyncratic individual errors, generic individual errors, and method factors are all difficult to overcome in self reported studies. The perception of self and of surroundings can be as varied as the individuals self reporting the results to the researchers. Further, the motivation to be completely accurate and candid with the researchers is not evident, especially in this case where the researchers were paying for the results. The researchers chose to study only one correctional facility, and of the 450 possible respondents, received only 275 responses. (Lambert & Hogan, 2006, p.21) These factors lead to the low levels of validity and reliability further explored below."

Abstract
The authors examine the many themes and conflicts that surround the discussion of the family today. They reveal how the definition of "family" that the social elites construct is very different from what reality actually is. They show how economic realities, violence within the home, and discrimination on all levels, affect families in all walks of life. The authors do an excellent job in demonstrating how the division between men's and women's tasks have significantly changed since capitalism has become embedded within the society.

Abstract
This paper explores the issue of working parents and the conflicts they face between juggling their family responsibilities with their work schedules. Specifically, the paper makes reference to a large number of studies conducted into this issue, including Chow and Berheide, Voydanoff, Frone, Russell and Cooper, Bronneberg, Hammer, Allen and Grigsby and Frone, Yardley, and Markel in 1997. The paper looks at working mothers and the effects on their own and their children's lives.
From the Paper
"Research has been conducted in the field of work-family conflict for a number of years. Initially studies on family and work were being conducted as being two separate areas of research. But later research has focused to be dealing with the interrelationship between family and work and between work and family. Based on quantitative survey research, present research aims to promote a relationship between work, family and community."

Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"One of the largest transformations in family life over the last decades has been the rise of the dual-earner family. The number of families which are dual-earner, married couple households has increased dramatically, having overtaken "traditional" breadwinner/homemaker families in number as early as the mid-70s, continuing into even through the late 1980s and 1990s. Despite the phenomenal growth in this segment of the population, very little has been done to meet the growing needs of dual-earner families. With the prevalence of mothers and fathers in the work force, inevitably we find that there is a conflict. Caregivers in the workforce face the difficult decision to choose between their family and their jobs, and unfortunately, most employers do not do enough to help."

Abstract
This paper discusses conflict within the family in relation to married couples, courts, and adolescents. The paper further discusses the types of conflict resolution, and places focus on the concept of the win-win approach to conflict resolution within the family. Through research the paper discusses concepts that have been tested that provide information on positive outcomes in conflict resolution associated to this concept.
From the Paper
"When conflict occurs within modern society it is often exhibited through two predominant types of confrontation. Destructive conflict involves outcomes that are based on competition during the conflict. In this instance there are generally two opposing forces that are determined to dominate the other, and the stakes become higher between the individuals as they attempt to take measures to inflict emotional pain on each other. Constructive conflict, however, allows individuals to learn, and grow through the experience that is progressed through the idea that both parties will ultimately "win" in the outcome of the exchange. Cahn (1994) contends that constructive conflict is, by nature, a method of developing socially, and maintaining intimacy between couples (p. 114). Cahn (1994) suggests that every person must possess his or her individualism, as well as the association with a family unit (p. 114)."

Conflict and Conflict Resolution, 2007.

Abstract
In this article the writer first discusses the term 'conflict' and looks at how it can be defined. The writer then describes that when an Islamic militant and terrorist took it upon himself to resolve a conflict as he saw it, he launched terror attacks on the people of the United States of America, and the result was large scale devastation and destruction and panic and adverse impacts on the economic and political and social system of the United States. Further, the writer studies the impact and attempts at resolution of the conflict. The writer concludes that perhaps, in the long run, Bush's ideals would create more conflict around the globe, than resolve them in any way. One can only wait and see what will happen eventually, and find out whether it is possible to resolve conflicts of high order with any amount of success.
From the Paper
"However, at the same time, it must be remembered that there were other losses that were not covered by private insurance, or were not qualified under the charitable contributions, or even by the emergency relief funds, and these were the really huge losses that occurred due to the September 11 terrorist attacks. Several different agencies undertook the study of the economic losses that were caused by the September 11 debacle, and according to the New York City Partnership, the attacks on the two World Trade Center Buildings must have cost the state, at the very least, $ 83 billion, as per the value in the year 2001, and this included the costs of total losses, that is, both the direct and the indirect costs. Out of this estimate, only about $ 67 billion of the losses would be completely covered by insurance and other contributions. In a more recent study, according to an Officer of the New York City Comptroller's Office, as of April 2002, the total costs of the clean up of the World Trade Center has been much quicker and also much less costly than the initial estimates had indicated."

Abstract
The paper provides a literature review that examines the potential conflicts that can arise in family businesses and the practice of conflict resolution. The paper discusses the healthy nature of conflict in the family firm and explores why family businesses have such a global impact on business today.
Outline:
Introduction
Review of Literature
Conflict as Catalyst
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are thousands of strong family businesses of every size and type and they share a great deal in common, with issues that are unique to family. In the modern research on business the family business still gets a lot of attention, as a viable and sometimes strong business model with many common potential strengths and potential liabilities to analyze and consider. One area of particular interest to those who research family business is communication as the connections and history of families can both strengthen and weaken this factor depending upon the family."

"Integrating Work and Family", 2004.

Abstract
This paper discusses the book, "Integrating Work and Family" written by Saroj Parasuraman, and examines the modern conflict between work and family from a number of perspectives. The paper explores specific types of work and family conflicts and explains the impact that they have on the involved parties. The paper argues that these conflicts stem from changes in work and family situations during this century. The paper expresses the potential damage that can arise from clinging to old stereotypes of the nuclear family.
From the Paper
"In Integrating Work and Family, Parasuraman attempts to examine the conflict between family and work from a variety of those impacted, including individuals, employers, consultants, and counselors. The book notes that while there has been a great deal of discussion about family/work conflicts, such conflicts remain a serious problem. Writes Parasuraman, "The problem of balancing work and family arises from work-family conflict, which reflects a mutual incompatibility between the demands of work role and the demands of the family role" (p. 3-4). Integrating Work and Family is made up of 21 chapters, and covers a wide range of topics. Parasuraman begins the book with a historic overview of the relationships between work and family, and discusses how this relationship has changed over time. The author then provides a number of different perspectives on the relationship between work and family, ranging from that of a person who struggles to maintain balance, to a counselor's perspective on managing tensions inherent in the conflict between work and family, to a view of the research surrounding work-family issues."

Abstract
This paper discusses a particular family and the problems within the family structure that are observable in the relationship between the sisters Terry and Maxine. The paper notes that, while the family has been guided for most of its existence by the mother of these siblings, the mother has died and the conflicts that have evolved throughout the family history between these two sisters have begun to affect the entire family. This is evident in the arguments over selling the house, the decision of the family to no longer have Sunday dinners and the severing of ties between family members after the mother's death.

Family Assessment of Jenkins and Sandoval, 2006.
An analysis of a family using the Friedman Family Assessment Model.
2,025 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 5 sources, AU$ 85.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper uses the Friedman Family Assessment Model (short form) as the basis for an analysis of a family consisting of a mixed-race and mixed religion cohabiting couple and their three-year-old child. The paper concludes that although the family is largely functional, it also has some conflicts that need to be reviewed and addressed, particularly in terms of communication between the adults.
From the Paper
"The Friedman Family Assessment Model is consistent with the concept of family health care nursing treatment of an entire family for dysfunction within the unit. It examines the family from an environmental and cultural focus as well as from its internal structure. This model provides the opportunity for the health care provider to examine many areas of concern related to the family's dysfunction, while identifying foundations of strength upon which to build the treatment process. The Friedman Family Assessment Model The Friedman Family Assessment Model focuses on the structure and the functions of the family as well as the manner in which the family interacts with its community and the greater society (Mandleco, 2004, p. 22). Although the model itself is comprehensive and demands a great amount of detail, not all factors listed within it apply to all families."

Abstract
This paper explores an article that presents the exploratory research by Lambert and Hogan entitled 'Possible Antecedents of Correctional Staff Work on Family Conflict' and reported in a 2006 "Professional Issues in Criminal Justice: A Professional Journal". The author points out that the nominal level of measurement was the control variables labeled "Personal Characteristics", such as gender, age and position. The paper reports that the measures of the variables, other than those of the personal characteristics, were on a sliding scale, which could not be interpreted as ordinal data or variables. The author reports that the independent variables were the level of job danger, role ambiguity, role conflict, instrumental communication (performance feedback), integration, input to decision-making, supervision, job variety and organizational fairness; the dependent variable of work on family conflict was rated at several different levels.

Proposed Version of Similar Research
From the Paper
"The goal of yielding a bounty of ratio data would require an expansion of the dependent variable on the survey. In the present research, work on home conflict was limited to nine items varying from time conflict to strain or harm to family life. The researchers determined that only five of the independent variables had a statistically significant influence upon work on home conflict If it is desired to obtain more ratio data, then a new survey should be prepared emphasizing the five areas most likely to antecede work on home conflict and of those items rate the level of each area of work on home conflict established by the first survey."
