Family Communication Resolves Family Violence

Question: Discuss about the Report for Family Communication Resolves Family Violence. Answer: Introduction The first article is by George J. Knafl and wrote this paper in the year, 2009 titled Quantitative family Data Analysis." The other article is by Sherry Hamby, Heather Turner, David Finkelhor and Richard Ormrod which was titled Childrens Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence and Other Family Violence published in the year 2011. Both the articles directly or indirectly relate to the problem of communication leading to violence in a family. Let us discuss the findings of these two reports:- What was the test of significance used by the author? The paper focuses on providing an overview of different data collected from various types of families; it also does careful analyses of actual family data which included regression, summarize the statistics, cluster analysis, factor analysis and analysis of variance. Then finally paper does and detailed analysis using the tools such as SAS and SPSS (Knafl, 2009) As of when this paper was published it became the very first paper comprehensively to present the estimates of children and youth's exposure to the number of IPV (Intimate Partner Violence) and family and parental violence. The article provides information such as various kinds of exposures, relationships of children with the witness of the perpetrator, sex of the perpetrator and a vivid number of reactions of youth to the incident (Hamby, 2011). What were the findings of these authors? The author has been able to project that a family data can involve various numbers of family members and different types of families. The family outcomes can be different or same depending on the family members meaning they can be categorical or continuous. He has managed to provide example and of analysis for selected family data and tells us that it is essential to address IFC while analysing the family data. Finally, he has managed to use SAS and SPSS tools for executing a variety of cross-sectional analyses of dyadic family outcomes (Knafl, 2009). The authors were able to table successfully different percentages of exposure faced by the youth ranging from IPV to different family violence. The following table will make it clear. They were also able to provide data for different types of exposure for these youth, and this data was now available for the first time in the United States of America. The report also successfully estimates the perpetrators of violence in the family (Hamby, 2011). What were the questions raised in their research and what were the final findings on their statistics? The study was limited as it provided templates or fixed models for particular kind of family problems but in reality, a large number of sets were possible for different family challenges and outcomes. The analyses cover some of the most important cases which should be known by every family researcher. Some of the analyses such as longitudinal family outcomes and categorical family analyses have not been mentioned. The author was successful in finding that random coefficients model can be supported by SAS and SPSS both for a modeling at multilevel. The SAS supports two-dimensional structures but is not competent for SPSS in a longitudinal family analysis (Knafl, 2009). The researchers have been able to post a good report but they were dubious about the limitations of the report and some of the primary reasons were that a lot of family cooperation was required which increased the risk of missing the most vulnerable children as they would not have been a chance to answer the survey, secondly, the parents who reported in place of their younger once might not be knowing about the various exposures or they might under-report few incidents. Thirdly, the children are small and often forget the minor or mild exposures and may not say regarding them. But even after these and many other limitations, NatSCEV provides a reader with the most comprehensive and precise estimates of children exposure's to violence (Hamby, 2011).
