Abstract

Affiliation, loss of affiliation, and the associated effects on homeless individuals were assessed via a survey of 230 homeless adults in Florida. Women accompanied by dependent children, unaccompanied women, and unaccompanied men were compared regarding levels of affiliation and associations among affiliation, self-esteem, and locus of control. The women accompanied by children maintained more family contacts and had higher levels of self-esteem; for the group, locus of control was more external than for either the unaccompanied women or the unaccompanied men. Women with children also had the lowest median number of days homeless and the highest average monthly incomes.

摘要

通过对佛罗里达州230名无家可归成年人的调查，评估了归属感、归属感的丧失以及对无家可归者的相关影响。对有受抚养子女陪伴的女性、无人陪伴的女性和无人陪伴的男性在归属感水平以及归属感、自尊和控制点之间的关联方面进行了比较。有子女陪伴的女性保持着更多的家庭联系，自尊水平更高；对于这个群体来说，控制点比无人陪伴的女性或无人陪伴的男性更具外部性。有子女的女性无家可归天数的中位数也最低，平均月收入最高。
