الأمن النفسي وعلاقته بالمسؤولية الاجتماعية لدى أولاد المطلقين وغير المطلقين : دراسة مقارنة
Research problem: The research problem lies in the following main question: What is the relationship between the psychological security and social responsibility among the children of divorced and non-divorced parents? The aims of the study: 1) Identify the relationship between psychological security and its relation to social responsibility among the children of divorced parents and non-divorced parents. 2) Identify the differences in psychological security between children (males and females) of divorced and non-divorced parents. 3) Identify the differences in social responsibility between children (males and females) of divorced and non-divorced parents. In order to achieve these goals, a sample of 299 students were involved in the study, 150 males and 149 females, using the psychological security questionnaire of Dulaim et al., 1993, and the social responsibility questionnaire of Harthy, 1995. Mean arithmetic, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient, and T-test were used as statistical methods to verify the theories. Results: 1) There is a weak inverse (negative) relationship with a level of significance of 0.01 between the total score of the psychological security questionnaire and the total score of the social responsibility questionnaire among the children of divorced and non-divorced parents. 2) The existence of virtual differences in the average scores of the psychological security questionnaire between the two comparison samples (children of divorced parents and children of non-divorced parents) and showed that the children of divorced parents suffer from a low sense of psychological security and lack of psychological comfort. 3) There is a weak direct relationship between the independent predictive variables (social responsibility) and the dependent variable (psychological security). Main recommendations: 1) Working on forming a positive concept towards social responsibility, and enhancing the psychological security of the children of divorced parents by family and psychological counselling and guidance through the various media. 2) Conduct workshops in psychological counselling in order to reach certain criteria that help in reducing the psychological effects of the shocks faced by this group and how to prepare for it. 3) Continuous care and support for this group and involve them in activities and events in the community.
