A Comparison of Elementary/K-8 and Middle Schools' Suspension Rates
This study was undertaken to examine the suspension percentages among three sixth-grade transition groups: (a) students who attended elementary or K-8 schools in sixth grade and K-8 schools in seventh grade, (b) students who attended elementary or K-8 schools in sixth grade and middle schools in seventh grade, and (c) students who attended middle schools for both sixth and seventh grades. Percentage suspensions were examined by Black and by Latin…
Achievement and Enrollment Status of Suspended Students
There have been outcries in both the academic sector and in the popular press about the high and increasingly rising use of suspensions as a discipline measure. Among the negative consequences noted has been a detrimental impact on the academic achievement of suspended students. This article presents the results of longitudinal retrospective analyses on suspensions, achievement, and long-term enrollment status of students in a large, urban school…
Disruptive Behaviors and Maternal Responsibility
Feelings of stigma and self-blame were studied among 62 Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican mothers of 4- to 10-year-old children with disruptive behaviors. Data were collected and analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Results indicated that 42% blamed themselves for their children’s behaviors, and 39% felt stigmatized by others. Feelings of stigma and self-blame were not significantly associated. Mothers who blamed themselves had a lowe…

They interviewed 62 Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Dominican first-time help seekers and found four modes of entry: (a) coercion, (b) acceptance of offered referral, (c) responsive and resourceful help seeking subsequent to school reports of behavior problems, and (d) a laborious and convoluted path that was characteri…
Maternal Cognitions about Distress and Anxiety in Young Latino Children with Disruptive Behaviors
This study was undertaken to describe how Caribbean Latina mothers understand distress in children, the behaviors that they attribute to it, and the labels that they use to express their cognitions. Findings from 62 mothers of young children with disruptive behaviors indicated that mothers made attributions about anxiety in 40% of the children with a high likeli-hood of clinical anxiety. Hyperactive and restless behavior, but not children's fears…
When Worlds Collide
Ethnic matches between mental health providers and clients have been suggested as a strategy for improving the cultural responsiveness of services. Although the research has been limited, the practice has received some empirical support. However, ethnic match may not be a sufficient condition for cultural responsiveness. To examine this possibility, we interviewed Dominican mothers of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder on: the…
