Item Self concept, marital adjustment, and academic achievement(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, 1978) Loberg, Larry Gordon; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Richard HorswillThis study investigated the interrelationships between self concept, marital adjustment, and academic achievement as measured by grade-point-average. A proportional stratified random sample of students living in married student housing at Montana State University was drawn. The participants were administered three instruments: a biographical questionaire, the Locke Marital Adjustment Test, and the Tennessee Self Concept Scale. The variables, self concept, marital adjustment, grade-point-average, family income, age, years of marriage, parental status, class level, employment status, housing conditions, family self, social self, personal self, moral-ethical self, physical self, behavior, identity, and self satisfaction were correlated using the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The results showed a significant correlation at the .05 level of confidence between self concept and marital adjustment, self concept and grade-point-average, and self concept subscale categories of family, social, personal, moral-ethical, and physical selves and marital adjustment. A significant correlation between marital adjustment and number of years of marriage, wife^ enrollment in college and marital adjustment, and between family income level and self concept was found to exist. The results showed no significant correlation between housing conditions and marital adjustment, housing conditions and self concept, parental status and marital adjustment, parental status and self concept, marital adjustment and grade-point-average of the wife, self satisfaction and marital adjustment, and class level and marital adjustment.Item The employment of married professional school personnel in Montana school districts(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1971) Redfield, Laurence EdwardItem Montana school policies regarding married High school students.(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1960) Johnson, Dale L.Item The impact of dual career couples on public employers : problems and solutions(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1983) Williams, Margaret HustavaItem Use of major dietary iodine sources in married student households(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1970) Jacobs, Elizabeth Kathleen DiversItem A study of intimacy in first married and remarried couples(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1985) Allgood, Scot MerlinItem Making meaning of gender from role division in long-term, dual-earner marriages(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1994) Stelmack, Barbara JoItem Coping strategies and marital quality of university student couples(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1985) Cole, KevinItem Voluntary childlessness : a comparison of attitudes of married parents and married childless couples in Bozeman, Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1974) Kovach, Phyllis KayItem Job insecurity at a university : its impact upon the marital and family relations of married faculty and staff members(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1987) Beley, Rochelle AnnThe purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived stress resulting from job insecurity and marital and family functioning. The relationship between work and family life has been the focus of many research projects, however, the impact of one aspect of the work domain, namely the threat of a job loss on the family, has not been examined. With recent budget cuts at Montana State University and the impending threat of job loss, this study was proposed to examine the impact of job insecurity on the family. Data gathered from 111 MSU employees and their spouses (N = 222) revealed a significant difference between the level of stress of the MSU employees and the norm stress level as measured by Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale. Further analyses comparing stressed MSU employees and nonstressed MSU employees revealed a significant difference between mean scores on measures of marital adjustment, number of marital problems, general family functioning, family communication, family problem solving, family roles, affective responsiveness, affective involvement, and the number of family services requested. No significant differences were found on measures of behavior control.
