FAMILY RESILIENCE IN DIFFERENT ETHNIC GROUPS


This project is managed by from the Department of Psychology in collaboration with colleagues at the Universities of the North, Port Elizabeth, Fort Hare and Zululand. It is funded for three years by a SANPAD grant, and involves several masters and doctoral students.


This large-scale study investigates family life, particularly those family characteristics that enable families to overcome a major crisis or set-back, and aims at contributing towards a better understanding of family life in different ethnic groups in our country. In addition, it is envisaged that the results of this study will add to the development of community development policy and the development of community-based invention programmes.
