The evolvement of dissertation topic from seminal work to current state

Abstract

In some culture polygamous marriages are common. While there is some literature on the dynamics of the wives in apolygamous marriage, there is a serious lack of literature on what how it affects childreb. The few papers published reveals that children from polygamous marriage suffer a variety of physical and emotional abuses have short and long term consequences. Unfortunately, many reports are short case series and there is little long term follow of these children. It appears that in some children, the negative emotional conflicts mat resemble post traumatic stress syndrome. How many children are affected by these marriages and what happens to them in the long run remains a mystery.

This analytical research paper will discuss the evolvement of a dissertation topic: “Adult children describe the experience of growing up in polygamous families.” That begins from seminal work to present state of an academic journey. There will be three parts to these analyses (i) the evolvement with the dissertation process through seminal work and how strange and difficult it has been to present state. (ii) the current literature review on the research topic, and the main findings through evaluation which most contribute to the research. (iii) the adherence to ethical research guideline and the effect on literature and program specialization. In Polanco (2013) he wrote: Democratizing academic writing, “he described his writing as a source of extended conversations with his reviewers and the audience”. He made this excellent notation to encourage those preparing to write a doctoral dissertation, particularly those that the English is a secondary language as it was with Polanco.

Introduction

Strangely interesting, the seminal work for the research dissertation topic: “Adult childrens describe the experience of growing up in a polygamous family”, has been a challenging undertaking and the preparation has gone through many stages. It started with topic formation, which on itself went through several reconstructions in an effort to decide on a suitable topic that would fit the dissertation research idea in mind. Preparing for a doctoral dissertation to this point has been a profound and interesting challenge. It has been a year and a half since work began on the research topic and learning about the research methodologies available to the researchers: There are two primarily observational methods, which are quantitative or qualitative.

According to Cozby and Bates (2014), the focus of qualitative research is on people behaviors in their natural settings; and where they describe phenomena in their own words, quantitative research on the other hand, deals with behavior that can be calculated or counted. While qualitative design is based on an in-depth collection of information on individual participants in the research, quantitative research investigates the general large samples (p.118). Decidedly, qualitative research is the chosen methodology to be the right fit for the approved dissertation topic after many consultations with various professors throughout the taken research courses and the residential colloquium requirements. Chamaz, (2014) describes “Qualitative research method to have wide plurality of definitions that include explanation, orientating principles, Crafted knowledge, and epistemological propositions” (p.1). This research method may look as a common sense approach; there are systematic steps that are required in the effort to see knowledge. Often in our quest to find answer to our needs, we ask questions that would come to mind, and we follow the set systematic approach of qualitative research methodology.

Furthermore, there would be the need to assemble the literature reviews that have relations to the proposed research topic and through which actions may be taken to possibly reconstruct the research topic, and adjust the research design. Who will be the main research participants? What would be the age range acceptable to participate in the research? Are there going to be equals numbers of men and women of adult polygamous children that would chose for the research? What could a secure environment that provide security and privacy for participants look like? What would be a better and flexible approach to begin collection of field data: separate, and synthesize the data through qualitative coding (Chamaz, 2014, p.1).

For those in social science: Anthropology, sociology and particularly those in general psychology specialization that have interest in the study for human behaviors, and different cultures that are practiced by people in the world would find these difficult to study without systematic measurement that would help them in the knowledge they seek of the people, their habitable and cultural condition. Therefore, qualitative research method gives these researchers a tool that allows studying and learning about these researches through systematic measurement as well as asking necessary research questions about the life styles or the cultures of people selected for the study.

Literature Review Discussion

There is not a lot of literature on polygamous marriages and how it affects children. The few papers published are all from African, middle east and Asia. Most are anecdotes and thus making a strong conclusion is difficult. Nevertheless, it appears that polygamous marriages can have a negative affect on behavior and mental functioning of children. Psychology had always played an important role in human lives and development. She helped individuals to live lives to the fullest through psychological and various therapeutic activities that help individuals maintain good mental health and cognitive abilities that foster needed lives stabilities. These human basic needs can be far fetch in a complicated family construct such as that of polygamous families. Therefore, human lives are positively affected by practical contribution of psychology Leman (2005).

Oman and Khaswneh (2011) in their research findings on polygamous families and abuse, revealed has shown that domestic abuse wasis pervasive in many contemporary polygamous families and communities. The study revealed that cChildren whothat grow up in polygamous families experience higher emotional, physical and sexual abuse. According to these researchers, “polygamy is officially and broadly practices in more than eight hundred societies worldwide. In addition, substantial arguments have been taking place in public, political and academic realization since the last twenty years (p.345). Similarly, other Many research has also observedpapers that found for a period now primarily focused on the issue of polygamy can effect on behavior, emotion and negatively impact academic performance of educational changes of children. (Elbedour et al,& Abu-Saad, 2002). .

Violence towards children hashas also pervaded the polygamous families and cultural life since inception. The type of violence may range from physical harm, emotional abuse, torment and extreme violence. Makofane (1999) stated, “Even defining the term family violence causes debate”. Glanz (1997) emphasized defining family violence is troublesome. Sometimes designated as abuse, violence, and domestic violence, which is interchange. Stark and Flitcraft (1996) defined domestic violence as the act of physical and sexual assault that results from verbal intimidation and abuse, damaging of belongings, isolation from friends and available access of support. The violations of family members also include children and control of items that support the activities of daily living such as money, food and protection (Tshifhumulo, 2013). According to Makofane, any violence is the intent to harm and cause bodily pain or injury and measured through physical aggression such as threatening with or using objects like guns and knives to hurt others, slapping, pushing and throwing things.

Children Responses Adult Polygamous Children Feedback

There have been a few reports on what children feel about being varied responses on the part of children raised in polygamous families. Most of the data have been obtained in a historical fashion from children who have already grown up. SSome of these adult children have claimed that they did notnot to experience any abuses during their upbringing, whether in the bondingattachment with their parents, financial support and education. These children have stated y believed that the construct of polygamous marriage is the answer necessary or solution that can help solve many social and family problems. They do maintain that vowed that the father in particular was there for them and did not discriminate against children from other mothersor divide them. However, there is also other research which reveals the exact oppositethis is not what research found; the majority of publications reveal that research has shown that children raised in polygamous families continue to have psychological issues which resulted from frequent occurrences of abuse and domestic violence experienced between parents and sibling rivalry into adulthood (Oyeteso & Adegoke, 1992).REFERENCE MISSING

The children reported having fewer ; they have less resources, lack of money and they also suffered a variety of both economic and emotional trauma. May children reported doing poorly at school and subsequent studies revealed poor cognitive functioning for cognitive stimulation according to (Elbedour et al,, Bart & Hektner, 2000). More rRecent research also support these observations that some children do fare better than others in polygamous familiesfound that polygamous family’s construct had the possibilities that one’s action could directly affect another behavior negatively (Oman & Khaswneh 2011).

Further, tThe abuses of parents adversely also affected the adult children’s perception of life. many children report being neglected and abandoned and that no one cared about them or the possible reality of neglect and abandonment according to (Gecas & Schallbe 1986). This type of experience often followed by financial hardship was often a harbinger of future can become the predictor of educational and psychological problems. Hassouneh-Phillips (2001) REFERENCE MISING

revealed that often the father was absent and the children stil suffered emotional and physical abuse at the hands of the other mothersdescribed “parents conflict about the father’s absence can have a debilitating effect on children; therefore, the child may perceive the family organization to be an abuse or traumatic experience” (p.621).

Assessment of adult children from polygamous marriages reveals that many sufer from what is best described as post traumatic stress disorder, combined with neglected emotional needs, lack of functioning in society, feeling detached and unable to form social relationships

(Parents that were not present or absent from their children lives have failed in helping them to develop positive attachment that psychologist conceptualize as systematic patterns of exceptions, needs, emotion, emotion regulation strategies and social behavior with family members, romantic partners and close friends according to Jones, (2015 REFERENCE MISSING).

Other Ppsychological studies on these children have observed preponderance presence of anxiety and avoidance. It is believed that the anxiety is most likely due to

research found that individual differences in adult attachment style have two dimensions and they are avoidance and anxiety. That anxiety showed an intense fear of rejection and abandonment, and a desire for a relationship attachment, and preoccupation to be with someone (Shaver & Mikulincer, 2002 REFERENCE MISSING).

These research findings confirm the turbulentrocky journey that adult polygamous children continue to experience through life; because they grew up in a household wherethat a father was never available for physical or emotional supportemotionally and was absent. Many of the adult children have also stated that they continue to experience the traumatic experiences of childhood and often are not able to fully fucntion in life as adults (Shaver & Mikulincer, 2002).Continuing with their lives and reminiscence of the conflicts, which they experienced between parents and the competitions between siblings that they had to deal with, that could result to psychological burden.

Furthermore, due to many children in polygamous families, parents-particularly fathers (the head of the household) may be deficient in his obligations to the children. He may fail to make the necessary follow up with the children’s school to enquire about their academic achievement. Because of lacks in parental care, behavioral problem has widely been reported in polygamous families according to (Oman & Khaswneh 2011).

The issue of post traumatic stress disorder in children from polygamous families is just beong recognized. One has to understand that in many cases, these children are lost to follow up. Further in certain african and middle eastern cultures, there is a taboo associated with a diagnosis of a mental health disorder. For this reason, many children never follow up with a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Even the term psychiatry is considered a taboo in these cultures. The other problem is that in these cultures the treatment of post traumatic disorder is not adequate. The disorder is under recognized and under treated. Societal support for neglected children in these cultures is poor and many are left to fend themselves. Without finances these children are unable to attend school or even when they do attend school, they lack school supplies like textbooks and pencil (which parents are required to purchase). The other issue at hand is that many of these children come from homes where the mothers lack education and are not able to help them with school work. Often these children have a hard time adjusting to schools or in peer established groups because of lack of concentration and discipline. In addition, polygamous adult children may continue to experience posttraumatic issues because of neglects during their adolescence years when needed cares were not adequately provided. When the children were in school as adolescence, they have had insufficient school supplies – such as textbooks, papers, or pencils (that parents should have purchased). Many children in the families constructs made it difficult for the parents to be effective in their care. Parents who cannot read were not able to help the children with their school assignments, therefore, not able to help them with their activities of mind development. These children were not able to adjust to the classroom, function in peer-established group due to poor students and teacher relations. Therefore, their academic achievements are often poorcould plummet far below school set average ((Oman & Khaswneh 2011, p.452). These problems resulted because of association to polygamy construct. However, these implications help us to understand the significance of polygamy to the children. How can children who grew up in this type of large families constructs ever be able to develop healthy cognitive abilities and not the experience of posttraumatic disorders.

Most Influential Literature ReviewPsychological trauma

There is no longer any question that some children who come from polygamous marriages do suffer from psychological trauma. Often these children feel alienated from society In the course of the literature review of the approved dissertation topic, it was interesting to learn that past and current literatures have confirmed the association of alienation and psychological wellbeing. This can result in psychological distress. The previous findings on the same studies viewed alienation and concluded it to be a global construct. (Aggleton, 2010;, and Bronfenbrenmer 1979) studies on the association of alienation and psychological wellbeing were influential; but the most influential on these researchers’ findings is IIfeagwazi et al., (2015) research, his finding adopted a unique perspective that he described as interpersonal and social economic alienation. Further it has been observed that this alientaion and lack of acceptance as part of family leads to His research found that social-economic and interpersonal alienation and psychological issues resulted due to distress. Ifeagwazi et al (2015) suggest that the lack of positive parental influence and absence of bonding between the children is often the harbinger of psychological trauma and lack of well being. Some researchers suggst that perhaps adopting simple practice of accpeting these children as their own would go some ways towards resolving the issue of feeling alienated by children and feeling insecure In addition, resilience causes negative psychological distress. This study was unique because it laid the findings that consider how moderating role of resilience and related variables and psychological wellbeing. It noted that more importantly valued people and their participation in valued activities such as that of value families activities to be the key mechanism to Lessing alienation and to construct resilience that help develop psychological wellbeing (p.538).

In Ifeagwazi research findings on alienation resilience and psychological wellbeing, adult children raised in polygamous families might never had the opportunity to understand the impact of alienation and psychological wellbeing on their lives because they never had parents available to help develop positive minds. Therefore, not able to identify the progress the families are making toward reducing constant distress and the effort to increase life satisfaction, and the improvement that could elevate the levels of happiness among members of the families. Research found wellbeing to be an indicator that is the critical value perspectives in evaluation of social structures and interventions that can positively affect adult children raised in the polygamous families. Unfortunately, constant issues of abuse, jealousy and sibling rivalry has prevented the need for wellbeing.

Functional relation system is an important opportunity that can help boost families’ members’ resilience because it provides opportunity that will help bond and attach to pro-social individuals in the families group (p.528). Therefore, polygamous families has an opportunity here to learn and embrace the role that would help them adopt practices in which polygamous adult children can feel secure, healthy and happy as a significant contributing gain (Aggleton et al., 2010, p.36 REFERENCE MISSING).

Because not ll polygamous children suffer from alienation it is believed that resiliency towards mental stress may be an asset (Furthermore, Ifeagwazi, p538). But the question remains how does one build resiliency in the vulnerable children with no family support? further noted how his research hypothesis found that resilience would negatively result to psychological distress. He described that individuals with more resilience have reduced problems of distress compare to those who have high resilience (p.538). With these findings, we are most likely to see these types of measured behaviors take place within adult children raised in the polygamous families. Some would be able to adapt to unhealthy living conditions that is plagued with conflict between parents and competitions among siblings.

Parental Alienation

Evidence reveals that children from polygamous marriages often develop a social disconnect or alienation. This parental

As Bronfenbrenmer (1979) reported, alienation is a feeling that creates disconnect from social engagement in which the person sees his or her interest in social context to be no longer viable. As individuals, we still place greater importance in the areas of alienation such as work and parental alienation. Parental alienation in the polygamous families can be damaging to the childrenfamily who subsequently go on to develop negative unhealthy behaviors members emotion and behaviors because of the construct according to (Aggleton et al., 2010). Various researchers have acknowledged the issues of alienation to be common in a dysfunctional setting or construct such as in the polygamous families. This may result in , and this would usually resulted to estrangement, powerlessness, meaninglessness, and isolation as discussed by Marxist and other existentialists that are still pervasive in societies today (p.528). NEED THIS REFERENCEThese results are consistent with the turbulence that an environment encompassed with alienation can cause because of differences and disagreements.

Maddi (1998) added to the accord with existentialist research findings that psychological wellbeing is needed to belong which is the strongest human need and not meeting this need to belong, which is meaningful can result to a serious consequences to our wellbeing. According to Maddi, “the existential neurosis marked by psychological distress, results when there is in ability to find meaning and believe in the truth, importance, usefulness or value in any of the things one is engage in or can imagine doing; he concluded that meaning could arise out of any form of family constructed and the social relationship” (p.313). Therefore, those who are alienated may be passive when social engagement is not fulfilling or when there is little or no interest as could most likely be with adult polygamous children riddled with poor emotion and behavioral issues, which lessen their group ties and social interest. Past and current literature has confirmed the association of alienation and psychological wellbeing. (Moreno and de RONDA 2003; Hall-Cande et al. 2007; and Spivey-Mooring 2008 BOTH THESE REFERENCE MISSING)

found in their studies that conceptualized alienation as a global or genetic construct. Therefore, in accordance with this understanding, alienation also can affect adult children raised in a polygamous construct because of many disadvantaged conditions they experienced which includesd parental alienation.

Interpersonal alienation on the other hand is similarstated to be analog to social isolation, loneliness and interpersonal trust according to (Ernst and Cacioppo, 1999 REFERENCE MISSING).

They found it to be in the same relational construct as violence. Interpersonal alienation is said to occur when one is described to include feelings that are scheduled, left out in-group participation, family or family meetings, because the individual’s participation is not deemed feelings are not important (p.528). This type of alineation may occur as a result kind of decision-making is practice every time in the polygamous families’ construct, which resulted because of conflicts, jealousy among parents and competitions between siblings.

Development in General psychology

It is no surprise that there are few studies on the subject of surprising to realize that little or no empirical studies have been done on adult children that were raised in the polygamous households. Many of the past and current studies have only focussed on the mothers in polygamous familiesfocused on the families and children being raised in the polygamous construct. . Part of the problem is the particular population which does not accept mental disease as a diagnosis. The other reason could be lack of awareness among healthcare workers that this problem exists. In order to fully understand that effects of plygamy on the mental health of children more detailed long term studies are neededThe literatures told us about the conflicts that these children are experiencing and the results of their psychological issues. Therefore, researches that use quantitative or qualitative methodology that would investigate adult children inquiries are needed. This type of investigation would help the study of psychology to understand the dynamics of adult children that are raised in polygamous households. This should take place specifically through interview and observational data research that could measure the level of issues that are affecting adult polygamous children. It would be important to learn through research how alienation resilience and psychological wellbeing may have affected this specific population; this may have resulted from the experience of rivalry among siblings, abuse and parental absenteeism. Furthermore, other potential extraneous variables that are worthy of investigation may include age, culture and religion that may become of a stigma because adult children’s association to a polygamous family.

In addition, future study would have to take necessary measure to examine adult children marital discord, contents, frequency, duration of conflict, degree of marital mutual respect and support, parental supervision, and involvement. Elbeadour (2002) described that although the practice of polygamy itself tends to appear to serve similarly towards the value the society attaches to it and will determine the effect it has on children. Because of little or no research done on adult children that were raised in a polygamous families, therefore, this research study will further the literature in the field of general psychology to examine the psychological problems that adult children may be experiencing in their general activities of daily living such as emotional, behavioral, and to contribute to their psychological wellbeing. Conclusion

This analytical research paper discussed the evolvement of a dissertation topic: “Adult children describe the experience of growing up in polygamous families.” The subject is complex because the literature is sparsed and outdated. Further, this problem is more common in cultures that do not readily accept mental health diagnosis. There is no question that some children born in polygamous marriages suffer from alienation and emotional trauma but the long term implications are not fully known. Anecdotal reports indicate that post traumatic stress syndrome may be common in these children and may contribute to a variety of toehr issues such as poor academic performance, alcohol or drug abuse, depression or anxiety. How common this problem is remains unknown and the number of children affected also remains unknown. The tragic thing is that post traumatic stress syndrome and a feeling of alienation is a bona fide this is a real issue with severe consequences. Without treatment, the quality of life is poor.

, that begins from seminal work to present state of an academic journey. There were three parts to these analyses (i) the evolvement with the dissertation process through seminal work and how strange and difficult it has been to present state. (ii) The current literature review which is on the research topic, and the main findings through evaluation that most contribute to the research. (iii) the important need to further research and contribution to the study of general psychology literature and program specialization. Strangely interesting, the seminal work that began with the research dissertation topic has been a challenging undertaking and the preparation has gone through many stages. Cozby and Bates (2014) described people behaviors in their natural setting as the focus of qualitative research. Quantitative research on the other hand, deals with behavior that can be calculated or counted.

Furthermore, actions were taken to assemble the literature reviews that have relations to the propose research topic. Those in general psychology specialization that have interest in the study of human behaviors, and the different cultures in the world that are practiced by people would find this study in psychology interesting. For this psychological research, a systematic approach would be followed in the study of adult polygamous children on their habitable, cultural condition and general polygamous experiences.

Psychology had always played an important role in human lives and development. She helped individuals to live lives to the fullest through psychological and various therapeutic activities that help individuals maintain good mental health and cognitive abilities that foster needed lives stabilities. Oman and Khaswneh (2011) in their research findings on polygamous families and abuse, has shown that domestic abuse is pervasive in many contemporary polygamous families and communities. Violence has pervaded the polygamous families and cultural life since inception. There have been varied responses on the part of children raised in polygamous families. Some of these adult children claimed not to experience any abuses during their upbringing, whether in the attachment with their parents, financial support and education. The abuses of parents adversely affected adult children perception or the possible reality of neglect and abandonment according to (Gecas & Schallbe 1986).

Parents that were not present or absent from their children lives have failed in helping them to develop positive attachment that psychologist conceptualize as systematic patterns of exceptions, needs, emotion, emotion regulation strategies and social behavior with family members, romantic partners and close friends according to Jones, (2015). It was interesting to learn in the course of literature review of the approved dissertation topic that there are relationships between alienation resilience and psychological wellbeing, which can result in psychological distress. In Ifeagwazi research findings on alienation resilience and psychological wellbeing, he noted adult children raised in polygamous families might have never had the opportunity to understand the impact of alienation and psychological wellbeing on their lives because they never had parents available to help develop positive minds.

Maddi (1967, 1998)) described who is in accord with existentialist theory of psychological wellbeing of the need to belong is one of the strongest human need and thwarting this need to belong and find meanings can have devastating consequences for wellbeing. Functional relation system is an important opportunity that can help boost families’ members’ resilience because it provides opportunity that will help bond and attach to pro-social individuals in the families group (p.538). Interpersonal alienation on the other hand is analog to social isolation, loneliness and interpersonal trust according to (Ernst and Cacioppo, 1999).

Bronfenbrenmer (1979) in his research findings defined “alienation as the feeling of disconnectedness from social settings such that the individual views his/her relationships from social contexts as no longer tenable”. It is surprising to realize that little or no empirical studies have been done on adult children that were raised in the polygamous households. Many of the past and current studies focused on the families and children being raised in the polygamous construct. Additionally, in future study, necessary measures should be taken to examine adult children marital discord, contents, frequency, duration of conflict, degree of marital mutual respect and support, parental supervision, and involvement. Elbeadour (2002) described that although the practice of polygamy itself tends to appears to serve similarly towards the value the society attaches to it and will determine the effect it has on children.
