“…In the present study, we used the following three items: (1) "I am active in efforts to promote social justice," (2) "I speak out for equality for women," and (3) "I speak out for equality for people of color." Prior studies using these same three items have found social justice commitment to be positively associated with hope, forgiveness, humility, differentiation of self, and positive religious coping (Jankowski et al, 2013;Sandage, Crabtree, & Schweer, 2014;Sandage & Morgan, 2014). Items were endorsed on a scale from 1 (never true) to 7 (always true).…”

Participants were grouped on the basis of theological beliefs about divine-human and female-male dynamics using cluster analysis. We then explored whether these subgroups might differ on (a) hierarchical social expectations, (b) commitments to social justice and intercultural competence, (c) religious exploration, (d) existential defensiveness, (e) views of psychology -theology integration, and (f) perspectives on women's leadership. The sample consisted of graduate students (N = 227) at an Evangelical seminary in the Midwestern United States. Results yielded a four-cluster solution. Individuals scoring high on both Calvinist theological beliefs and complementarian gender role beliefs scored significantly higher on hierarchical relationship expectations and existential defensiveness, and preferred a Christian psychology view of integration and a male headship perspective of leadership, compared to those scoring low on Calvinism and complementarianism. In contrast, individuals scoring low on both theological dimensions scored higher on Arminianism, gender egalitarianism, social justice commitment, intercultural competence commitment, religious exploration, and they preferred an integration view of psychology and theology and a "no restrictions" perspective on women's roles. Findings highlight implications for theological training and spiritual formation.

“…But the association of differentiation of self and hope has not received much research interest. One study (Sandage, Crabtree & Schweer, 2014) did find differentiation of self to be related to hope.…”

The intent of the present study was to examine the associations among differentiation of self, resilience and hope. Extending Bowen’s family systems theory to adolescents in a middle eastern culture, we anticipated age and gender-based differences in the level of the constructs as well as in the associations among them. Employing a multistage cluster sampling procedure, a sample of 300 adolescents (132 girls and 168 boys) ranging in age from 14 to 19 years old (M = 16.36 years; SD = 1.24) were recruited from junior and senior high schools in Khoramabad. Data were collected through self-report measures, Differentiation of Self Inventory, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Snyder Hope Scale, and analyzed via descriptive statistics, correlations and bootstrap analyses. Higher scores of differentiation were related to greater resilience and hope. Scores on I-position, emotional cutoff and fusion with others were also associated with resilience and hope. Age and gender differences emerged in certain components of differentiation. However, a moderated mediation analysis revealed no moderating effects of age and gender in the association between differentiation and resilience. Separate gender based bootstrapping results for mediation highlighted the specific indirect paths that resilience has in the relationship between I-position and hope in adolescent boys and between emotional closeness (low emotional cutoff) and hope in adolescent girls. Findings are discussed with regard to the cross-cultural validity of Bowen family systems theory.

“…However, despite repeated calls for more empirical studies around the topic of social justice, the bulk of the published literature has focused on theory building (e.g., Bemak & Chung, 2007; Crethar, Torres Rivera, & Nash, 2008; Ratts, 2011; Ratts et al, 2016), expanding counselor awareness around social justice (e.g., Kiselica & Robinson, 2001; Lee & Rodgers, 2009), or integrating social justice into counselor training and practice (Constantine, Hage, Kindaichi, & Bryant, 2007; Goodman et al, 2004; Lopez‐Baez & Paylo, 2009; MacLeod, 2013). Furthermore, of the empirical articles that have been published, nearly all used counselor trainees as the target population (e.g., Beer, Spanierman, Greene, & Todd, 2012; Caldwell & Vera, 2010; Cook et al, 2016; Hoover & Morrow, 2016; Sandage, Crabtree, & Schweer, 2014). As a result, there is limited information about the social justice activities in which professional counselors engage and the frequency and extent to which they engage in them.…”

This exploratory survey examined the relationship between 169 professional counselors’ social justice engagement and demographic, personality, and contextual factors. A hierarchical regression analysis indicated that counselors’ sexual orientation, trait extraversion, and postgraduate training predicted their level of engagement in social justice behaviors. The authors recommend that counselor training in social justice be focused on quality, rather than quantity, and that personality and identity characteristics of individuals be incorporated into pedagogical practices.
