White Social Workers' Attitudes about People of Color
This study evaluates the utility of a measure of White social workers' attitudes about people of color and provides some preliminary normative data to facilitate more systematic evaluation in practice, education, and research. The Cognitive and Affective Racial Attitudes Scales of the Quick Discrimination Index (QDI) (Ponterotto, Potere & Johnson, 2002) were completed by 257 White members of the National Association of Social Workers. Results str…
Some Normative Data on Mental Health Professionals' Attitudes about Racial Minorities and Women
Although codes of ethics of the mental health professions and the recently developed race- and gender-specific models of counseling and psychotherapy stipulate positive and accepting attitudes toward racial minorities and women, formal assessment of these attitudes has been hindered by the absence of appropriate measurement tools and generalizable data. This study provides some normative data by reporting responses of 705 psychologists and social…
Does the Use of Colored Paper Improve Response Rate to Mail Surveys
Although colored paper is frequently prescribed to enhance response rates of mail surveys, the results of previous evaluations of this technique have been mixed. We therefore, conducted a large-scale experimental study, mailing almost 20,000 questionnaires to members of seven different survey samples. Green, pink and white questionnaires were randomly assigned within each sample. When use of a cover letter and personalization of the mailing were …
Citations of Articles Published by the Most Productive Social Work Faculties in the 1990s
This article reports the resuits of an analysis of the citations of articles authored by leading social work faculties in the 1990s. Find ings suggest that: (1) articles published during the decade by faculty at each of these schools have been cited regularly; how ever, (2) publications of some faculties have been cited far more frequently than others; and (3) articles published in other than social work journals between 1990 and 1997 averaged al…
Psychometric Evaluation of a Questionnaire Modified to Assess Attitudes Toward Male Social Workers
The Attitudes Toward Male Nurses Scale was modified and then administered to a stratified-by-sex sample of 149 members of a state chapter of the National Association of Social Workers. Analysis suggests suitable internal consistency for the modified 15-item measure and provides empirical support for the scale's convergent-discriminant validity

Family Communication as a Mediator of Child Adjustment to Divorce
Reduced family conflict, consistency in roles and parenting, and limited negative life changes seem to be particularly important variables in promoting children's adjustment to divorce. The impact of family functioning on child adjustment was investigated in a sample of 22 recently separated or divorced families with a total of 32 children. A series of multiple regression analyses using factors on the Family Assessment Device to predict Child Beh…
Reliability and Validity of the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale in a Sample of African-American Husbands and Wives
An analysis of the internal consistency and criterion validity of the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale in a sample of 299 African-American wives and 589 African-American husbands provided support for the use of this global measure with African-American couples. Results of the same psychometric tests with comparison groups of Caucasian husbands ( n = 1, 511) and wives ( n = 1, 818) were strikingly similar
Occupational Status Differences Among Three Groups of Married Mothers
This article reports on a study of differences in the psychological and social well-being, spousal support, and job satisfaction of three groups of married mothers: those who were employed full-time in professional- managerial occupations, those who were employed full-time in work ing-class/blue-collar occupations, and those who were not employed. The results suggest the need to address differences in occupational status in future studies and to …

Women as Social Work Scholars
This article reports on a study of the characteristics, experiences, and scholarly productivity of a group of 96 successful female social work scholars and compares them to a group of 130 successful male social work scholars. It presents information on the supports and barriers for women in academe and offers insights into the quality of the women's professional lives
The Reliability and Validity of the Index of Peer Relations with a Clinical and Nonclinical Sample of Adolescents
Although the Index of Peer Relations (IPR) has been designed for use with adolescent and adult clients, previous evaluations of this prominent measurement device have been conducted with exclusively adult samples. Consequently, there are no available empirical guidelines for the use of this prominent measure with teenaged clients. The present study, herefore, evaluates the reliability and validity of the IPR with a sample of clinical and nonclini…
Family Dynamics and Individual Characteristics of Adult Children of Alcoholics
This study investigates differences in family dynamics and individual characteristics among: (a) adult children of alcoholics receiving professional and self-help recovery services; (b) adult children of alcoholics not receiving such recovery services; and (c) adults from families where there was an absence of substance abuse, domestic violence, incest, and chronic psychiatric or physical problems. Using discriminant analysis, two family variable…
Issues in the Assessment of Family Practice
Four issues in the assessment of family practice are illustrated using data from thirty-nine two-parent families who completed a comprehensive battery of measures of dyadic and family functioning before and after family therapy. The four issues examined are (a) assessment of the directionality of therapeutic change. (b) the choice of family assessment models, (c) self-reports and/or behavioral observations, and (d) differences between family memb…
Evaluating Scholarly Performance
In this study we examined the amount and the correlates of scholarly productivity among more than 1,500 graduates of social work doctoral programs. Findings reflected the skewed patterns of productivity found in previous studies of social work scholarship. Interestingly, almost half of all career conference presentations and journal publications were directed to non-social-work audiences or readerships. Different correlates of productivity were i…
Symmetricality and Complementarity and Their Relationship to Marital Stability
Bateson's concepts of symmetricality and complementarity in dyads were operationalized via the development of the Symmetrical-Complementary Relationship Scale (SCRS). The relationship of symmetricality and complementarity to marital stability was assessed in a sample of 136 intact married couples. Contrary to predictions drawn from Bateson's conceptualizations, symmetrical couples reported a significantly higher level of marital stability than co…
Choosing Family Measurement Devices for Practice and Research
Practice trends that emphasize the social functioning of family units have created a need for reliable and valid whole-family measurement devices. This study empirically compares and estimates the criterion and construct validities of two of the more prominent assessment devices in the field: the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (FACES III) and the Self-Report Family Inventory (SFI). Although reliability and validity estimates f…
Family Member Adjustment and Family Dynamics in Established Single-Parent and Two-Parent Families
This study compares personal adjustment and family functioning of mothers and adolescents in successful, established one- and two-parent families. The high levels of individual and family well-being reported by members of single-parent families in the sample as well as the similarity of adjustment of family members in both family types support recent assertions about the viability and potential strengths of single-parent units
In Search of the Continuum
Do students with prior academic preparation in social work perform better in graduate school than students who do not have a BSW? Master's students in a southeastern school of social work were surveyed about their background, general psychosocial adjustment, adjustment to and attitudes toward graduate school, and graduate academic performance. Forced-entry multiple regression was used to control simultaneously for the effect of background and adj…
The Structure and Competance of Family Units
The relative associations of family structure (intact, vs. one-parent, vs. step-parent family) and of family-system functioning with children's self-esteem and locus of control were examined, using mutivariate analysis. Children in two-parent families had significantly higher self-esteem than children from one-parent families, even when family income was controlled. However, family-system functioning was much more important in predicting self-est…
