Safe Bodies, Hot Plastic? Practical Issues in the Introduction of High-Visibility Workwear (Hi-Vis) in Australia, 1960s–80s
Fluorescent high-visibility workwear (‘hi-vis’) first appeared in Australia in the 1960s to improve worker safety. Despite its contemporary ubiquity, little is known about hi-vis’ emergence. This research, using archives, artefacts, and photographs, traces the early years of hi-vis in Australia. Initially introduced by public-service employers for high-risk users, adoption varied widely. Drawing on examples from roads and railways, the authors ex…
Unresolved tensions in green transitions
This commentary responds to Chantel Carr's ‘Repair and care’ through a focus on the vexed question of carbon-intensive worker retraining in the context of urgent and necessary decarbonisation and industry change in Australia. There are many parallels between my research and Carr's, particularly in relation to an understanding of the potential of existing technical skillsets in industrial working populations. Like Carr, I reflect upon my empirical…
The Trade Educators'' Syndicate
It was a fascinating place, I loved it [...] It was the only purpose-built foundry and patternmaking training facility in the Southern Hemisphere.There was nothing else like it in the Southern Hemisphere.To find a better place for patternmakers and foundrymen to do their technical schooling, you'd have to go to London, or maybe Philadelphia or somewhere like that.[...] Because the school was well staffed you didn't have to wait for help.[...] The…
Repair
W e are surrounded by broken things and environments: 1 designed objects, spaces and systems in need of repair. Repair is a commonsense but partial answer to overconsumption and landfill crisis. It is conservative yet progressive. But as a concept and a material reality, repair can also overwhelm. With increasing technological complexity, and decreasing time, resources, and skill, the ethical and logistical questions around repair abound: What sh…
Hidden Between Craft and Industry
Craft is currently experiencing an academic and popular revival, as evidenced by increasing interest in 'makers' and artisanal practices, both within and beyond design history. Yet, in this moment of craft's resurgence, some aspects are regularly overlooked. Industrial craft in manufacturing, for instance, is a field ripe for closer analysis. Engineering patternmaking is an industrial craft that remains almost invisible in design history, despite…

The Political Imaginaries of 3D Printing
3D printing is not only a diverse set of developing technologies, it is also a social phenomenon operating within the political imaginary. The past half-decade has seen a surge of “futuring” activity and widespread public attention devoted to 3D printing, which is typically represented as a harbinger of economic revival and political transformation. This article explores how 3D-printed futures are imagined across a broad political spectrum, by un…
Labor, entrepreneurialism and the creative economy in neoliberal times
Discussions about workers and the fashion industry are typically framed around the impacts of economic globalization upon exploited garment workers in the Global South.While this remains an important site of critical debate, the labor experience of European and British 'creatives' working in the cultural fields of fashion (and the arts more generally) are often not understood as having a labor politics at all.Those who labor in creative fields (e…

Masculinity and Material Culture in Technological Transitions
Between the 1960s and the 1980s the printing industry in advanced capitalist economies underwent dramatic technological change. While the transition from "hot metal" compositing to computerized typesetting has been extensively analyzed, there was another transformation occurring simultaneously: in the pressroom, letterpress was gradually replaced by offset lithography. Many letterpress machinists retrained, moving from a heavy, manual technology …
The impact of paraprofessional home visitors on infants’ growth and health at 18 months
Paraprofessional home visitors trained to improve multiple outcomes (HIV, alcohol, infant health, and malnutrition) have been shown to benefit mothers and children over 18 months in a cluster randomised controlled trial (RCT). These longitudinal analyses examine the mechanisms which influence child outcomes at 18 months post-birth in Cape Town, South Africa. The results were evaluated using structural equation modelling, specifically examining th…
Evidence of Anticipatory Socialization Among Tattooed, Wannabe, and Non-Tattooed Adolescents
In anticipatory socialization, individuals adopt norms and behaviors of reference groups before transitioning into them. We hypothesized that non-tattooed students who desired a tattoo (1,364 "wannabes") would report attitudes and behaviors between those of students who already had tattoos (429 tattooed) and respondents who neither had a tattoo nor wanted one (816 resistant students) in Grades 7 to 12 in an entire school district in Colorado. Tat…

Reliability, Validity, and Psychometric Development of the Pornography Consumption Inventory in a Sample of Hypersexual Men
This article reports the psychometric evaluation of the Pornography Consumption Inventory (PCI), which was developed to assess motivations for pornography use among hypersexual men. Initial factor structure and item analysis were conducted in a sample of men (N = 105) seeking to reduce their pornography consumption (Study 1), yielding a 4-factor solution. In a second sample of treatment-seeking hypersexual men (N = 107), the authors further inves…
Clinical correlates of health-related quality of life among opioid-dependent patients
The conceptual framework appears valid for explaining variation in the physical and mental HRQOL of opioid users undergoing medically managed withdrawal. Analysis of longitudinal data would help to evaluate more rigorously the adequacy of the model for explaining HRQOL in opioid withdrawal
Domesticity, Gender and the 1977 Apple II Personal Computer
This paper considers one of the first personal computers to be marketed to a mainstream American audience in the late 1970s: the Apple II. Lewis Mumford's notion of “ideological and social preparation” is adapted to describe this period as a preparatory phase for the later ubiquity and absorbing quality of our relationship with personal computers. In examining the Apple II's design alongside a key marketing image we can discern that domesticity a…
Ink and Holes
We examined correlates and predictive associations of tattoos and body piercings among 1,462 Colorado students in grades 9 to 12. More boys (19%) than girls (17%) reported tattoos, but more girls (42%) than boys (16%) reported piercings (earlobes not included). Older students reported more body modification. Structural equation models showed that although girls generally reported less deviant behavior, the indirect effect of female gender mediate…

Effect of relational bullying on attitudes, behavior and injury among adolescent bullies, victims and bully-victims
This study examined whether dysfunctional correlates of relational bullying parallel those that have been found for physical bullying. We used data from the population of 2,494 respondents in grades 7–12 from a school district in Colorado to compare latent variables of self-esteem, attitudes toward school, delinquent behavior, physical injury, physical bullying, and physical victimization among 291 relational bullies, 303 victims, 213 bully-victi…
Paternal and maternal influences on problem behaviors among homeless and runaway youth
Using an Attachment Theory conceptual framework, associations were investigated among positive paternal and maternal relationships, and recent problem behaviors among 501 currently homeless and runaway adolescents (253 males, 248 females). Homeless and runaway youth commonly exhibit problem behaviors such as substance use, various forms of delinquency and risky sex behaviors, and report more emotional distress than typical adolescents. Furthermor…
Ethnic Pride, Traditional Family Values, and Acculturation in Early Cigarette and Alcohol Use Among Latino Adolescents
Self‐control in a Criminal Sample
Favorable evidence on the validity of the Grasmick et al. (1993) self‐control scale has been reported in studies using general population samples. However, the scale has never been tested among persons extensively involved in crime. We assessed the construct validity of this scale, slightly revised, in a heterogeneous sample of drug‐using criminal offenders. Factor analyses identified five subscales, mostly congruent with existing formulations of…

Applying the Gelberg-Andersen Behavioral Model for Vulnerable Populations to Health Services Utilization in Homeless Women
We applied the Gelberg-Andersen Behavioral Model for Vulnerable Populations to predict health services utilization (HSU) in 875 homeless US women. Structural models assessed the impact of predisposing (demographics, psychological distress, alcohol/drug problems, homelessness severity), enabling (health insurance, source of care, barriers) and need (illness) variables on HSU (preventive care, outpatient visits, hospitalizations). Homelessness seve…
An 18-Year Model of Family and Peer Effects on Adolescent Drug Use and Delinquency
The Process of Dropping out of High School
In this study, nested latent-variable causal models were contrasted to compare the direct and indirect relationships of distal family and child and proximal adolescent factors to dropping out of high school. The sample included 194 Euro-American conventional and nonconventional families in a 19-year longitudinal study. The findings showed that dropping out of high school is a multiply-determined process, with early influences beginning in childho…
Sexual assault history and use of health and mental health services
A history of sexual assault may be associated with increased current use of mental health and medical services because of the psychologically and physically disruptive consequences of assault. To test this hypothesis, we estimated rates of mental health and medical services use among 2560 randomly selected community residents, 343 of whom had been sexually assaulted. Sexual assault was associated with seeking both forms of care. Controls for demo…
Precursors and Consequences of Membership in Youth Gangs
Explanations of gang membership were studied in a population of 11,000 secondary school students. Lower self-esteem, perceived academic ability, psychosocial health, and bonds with institutions appeared to precede gang membership (selection model). Greater drug use, greater delinquency, greater fear of harm, and being armed were precursors and consequences of gang membership (facilitation and selection models). 'Wannabes' were partway between non…
The Influence of Ethnicity, Socioeconomic Status, and Psychological Barriers on Use of Mammography
This study assessed the relative influence of psychological barriers, SES, and ethnic differences in mammography use for a community sample of 586 White, 227 Black, and 150 Hispanic women. Confirmatory factor analyses with latent variables indicated plausible factor structures for all groups on items related to barriers to mammography. Summed indicators of SES, fear of radiation, embarrassment, pain, anxiety, and cost concerns were correlated sig…

Adult Outcomes of Adolescent Conventional and Agentic Orientations
The impact of early adolescent conventional attitudes and friendships, positive goals, and drug use on age-appropriate developmental behaviors was assessed using the theoretical paradigm of the Erikson developmental stages of identity, intimacy, and generativity. Assessment points at Years 1, 13, and 21 from a longitudinal community study (N = 477) were used. Outcomes examined when the participants were in their 20s and 30s included agency and ef…
The Mediating Roles of Stress and Maladaptive Behaviors on Self-Harm and Suicide Attempts Among Runaway and Homeless Youth
An 8-year study of multiple influences on drug use and drug use consequences
Multiple long-term influences on young adult drug use and abuse were tested within an interactionist perspective using latent-variable causal models. Intrapersonal influences included early drug use and social conformity. Proximal interpersonal influences were captured by perceived peer drug use, perceived adult drug use, and family disruption. More distal influences included perceptions of community approval or disapproval for drug use. Outcome …
Aids Risk Behaviors among American and Australian Homeless Youth
We examined HIV/AIDS risk behaviors among homeless youth in cross‐national data collected in Melbourne, Australia (n= 398), and Los Angeles, California (n= 498). Using structural equation modeling, we found that the Australian youth reported greater involvement in AIDS risk behaviors than the American youth and the Australian youth were more involved in intervening risk factors that promote risk behaviors and less involved with protective factors…

Gender and Gang Membership
The authors investigated the relationships of gender and gang membership to latent variables of psychosocial characteristics, drug use, delinquency, weapons possession, and fear within rural and urban school districts in Colorado. They compared 1,669 self-reported gang members to a sample of 1,742 nongang members in Grades 7 through 12. Gender was related more strongly to the latent variables than was place, which tended to favor the urban distri…
Differential effects of parent and grandparent drug use on behavior problems of male and female children
This study examines relations among grandparent and maternal drug use, mate's drug use, mother's dyadic adjustment, and behavioral/developmental problems in children (64 boys and 75 girls, ages 2-8)

HIV Risk Reduction for Substance Using Seriously Mentally Ill Adults
The Impact of Coping Strategies, Personal Relationships, and Emotional Distress on Health-Related Outcomes of Parents Living with Hiv or Aids
This study examines the impact of emotional distress and social relationships on health-related outcomes of parents living with HIV or AIDS, as mediated by active and passive coping styles (N = 295; 81% female). Social relationships are exemplified by conflict with children and social support. Health-related outcomes include AIDS illness distress, health-care satisfaction, and substance abuse. In a predictive latent variable model using cross-sec…
Effects of Assets and Deficits on the Social Control of At-Risk Behavior among Youth
The authors tested control theory using protective effects of personal and social assets and risk effects of personal deficits on deviant behaviors of drug use, delinquency, truancy, and weapons possession. Structural equations modeling was used to analyze data from a population of students in grades 6 through 12 in Colorado (N = 13,207). Second-order factors of assets and deficits explained deviant behavior. Findings were consistent for subgroup…
Values and the Family
The influence of family values on adolescent problem behaviors is explored in an 18-year study of 199 families. Factor analyses revealed two value dimensions: traditional/achievement and humanistic/egalitarian. Problem behavior was indicated by drug use, delinquency, dropout, and sexual behavior. Maternal values predicted similar adolescent values. Traditional values generally protected adolescents against problem behaviors. Humanistic/egalitaria…

The Prevalence of Adult Sexual Assault
Data were collected as a supplement to the Los Angeles Epidemiologic Catchment Area project, one of five field sites of a National Institute of Mental Health-initiated program. The authors used a two-stage probability sampling technique to interview 3,132 Los Angeles residents of two mental health catchment areas during the period January 1983-August 1984. Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites were about equally represented in the sample, as were mal…

Social support sources following sexual assault
Considerable research suggests that social support plays a crucial role in coping with stressful life events. The present study used data from 3,132 randomly selected survey respondents to investigate the use and helpfulness of seven potential social support sources in coping with a particular life crisis: sexual assault. About two-thirds of the 447 sexually assaulted respondents had told someone about the assault. Over half had talked to a frien…
Defining the Race 1890-1930
Popular identities, whether racial or nonracial, are constructed as people define their social and political objectives. For instance, in 1848, the abolitionist Frederick Douglass took for granted that blacks were Americans when he asked his audience, “[I]f this is not mean and impudent in the extreme, for one class of Americans to ask for the removal of another class?” This assumption was essential to Douglass’s campaign against the American Col…
The Effect of Physician-Patient Communication on Mammography Utilization by Different Ethnic Groups
The differential utilization of screening mammography by racial/ethnic groups was examined through 35-minute bilingual, random digit dialed telephone interviews with 1,057 women over age 35 years. Results showed that 71% of hispanic women had never had a mammogram and that only 27% over age 50 years had had one in the year before the survey. White and black women over the age of 50 years were being screened more frequently with 34% of white women…

Engaged History
Ira Katznelson urges labor historians to respond to a crisis in their field by returning to political, institutional, and state-centered history. This state of affairs has come about, he and others tell us, because of the dual challenge of “new social movements” and then the decline of labor movements, the crisis of social democracy, and collapse of communist states. Labor history is in crisis, he concludes, because class no longer provides the b…

Problem behavior of adolescents whose parents are living with Aids
Substance use, acts of sexual risk, conduct problems, and internalizing, externalizing, and somaticizing mental health symptoms were examined among 239 adolescent children and their parents living with AIDS in New York City. Consistent with theories regarding imitative behavior, stress, and anticipatory loss, adolescents' externalizing behavior problems and somatic symptoms were related to their parents' status
