The Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire
The Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire (WFRQ; Walsh, 2016) attempted to operationalize family resilience in three domains: belief systems, organization patterns, and communication/problem-solving. However, neither the reliability nor validity of the questionnaire has been established. This study examined the WFRQ among 603 adults from a community-based sample with a focus on (1) descriptive statistics and (2) factor structure. Preliminary resu…
Depressive Symptoms in Context
Depression is a serious and growing problem in the United States particularly in rural areas and more so with the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, there is little debate that depressive symptoms and health are experienced in social and physical environments. Using a sample of over 800 rural adults, this study used structural equation modeling to test a model that predicted variations in depressive symptoms as functions of dispositional optimism, self…
Family Resilience
The purposed of this study was to investigate variations in family resilience across individuals’ sociodemographic characteristics, psychological and health resources, and social capital. Using the Tailored Design Method, survey data were collected from rural residents in a single U. S. state which yielded 812 responses and a 30% response rate. Family resilience was measured by the 2015 Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire. The other variables w…

Measuring Family Resilience
With a continued focus by practitioners, such as marriage and family counselors, behavioral/social scientists, and policy makers, on promoting resilience among families, it is important to ensure that reliable and valid instruments exist to accurately measure resilience. Using a sample of 603 college students from a large, public university in a mid-South U.S. state, this study investigated the measurement of family resilience operationalized by …
Extension Educators and Volunteer Leaders
Volunteer-led strength training classes can expand access, improve exercise adherence, and enhance intervention sustainability for older adults. This study compared participant functional fitness outcomes between volunteer-led and Extension educator-led StrongWomen strength training groups in community settings. Change scores for participants (n=317) were calculated for six Senior Fitness Test (SFT) measures. A non-parametric analysis of independ…
She was more than a friend”
This article focuses on grief experienced by same-sex couples with attention to the distinct factors that influence same-sex grieving partners within all social work system levels. An actual case narrative—the first author's lived experience—guides the reader through a powerful, personal journey to gain a greater perspective and connection on the impact of grief and loss. The concept of disenfranchised grief is applied to same-sex couples focusin…
Immigrant Parents' Concerns Regarding Their Children's Education in the United States
A growing body of research suggests that as immigrant families assimilate into U.S. culture, their children's academic achievements and aspirations decline. This article explores possible reasons for this finding from the perspective of immigrant parents from Eastern European countries whose children attend U.S. schools. In‐depth, qualitative interviews are conducted with 50 married mothers and fathers who hold professional‐status employment. The…
The Relationship Between Classroom Motivation and Academic Achievement in Elementary‐School‐Aged Children
The relationship between motivation and academic success has been better established with older children and adults than with younger children. As part of a larger project, the purpose of this study was to examine the relation‐ship between classroom motivation and academic achievement in young elementary‐school‐aged children. The participants were 122 first‐grade and 129 third‐grade children from a mid‐sized city in the southern United States. Th…
The Family Daily Hassles Inventory
This study investigated the preliminary reliability and validity of a new family daily hassles assessment using two well‐established instruments that measure daily hassles and health status. Participants (140 mothers) completed a self‐administered survey. The results indicated adequate reliability of the new assessment and supported the concurrent and construct validity of the scores obtained with the new assessment as a measure of daily hassles
An Exploratory Study of the Relationships between Family Functioning and Parenting Styles
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between family functioning and parenting styles. Data were collected in 1996 from 151 mothers of first‐ or third‐grade children using established self‐report assessments. Based on the findings, the researchers concluded that balanced family types were positively related to authoritative parenting and negatively related to authoritarian parenting
Focus Group Discussions
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the usefulness of focus group discussions (FGDs) in family and consumer sciences research. First, we briefly describe theFGDmethodology in terms of question development, group composition and recruitment, interview protocol and logistics, and data analysis. Then, we show how we applied that methodology in three specific examples from our work with family and consumer sciences research projects. Our ex…
Determinants of the Quality of Life of Rural Families
Drawing from human ecology theory, the purpose of this study was to examine socioeconomic‐demographic determinants of the quality of life of rural families. In the study, computer‐aided telephone interviewing via random digit dialing procedures were used to collect data in the spring of 1996. The participants included 510 rural (both farm and nonfarm) respondents. Quality of life was measured by five subscales: finances; home, family, and friends…
Examining Proximal Processes in Young Children's Home Environments
Beginning with phenomena measured by the elementary version of the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME) (Bradley & Caldwell, 1984), the authors identified three empirically derived proximal processes in young school children's home settings: maturity facilitation, the child's use of available stimulating materials, and the parent‐child emotional relationship. The authors argued for the coherence of Bronfenbrenner's concept o…
