How socio-psychological drivers prompt the adoption of nature-based solutions
With global climate change and disruption in socio-ecological systems, the Mediterranean region is experiencing increased climatic pressures, depletion of natural resources and limited citizen participation in climate change adaptation actions. To address this issue, this study seeks to ascertain the socio-psychological attributes behind citizens’ pro-environmental behaviour by engaging in the adoption of Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) in Mediterr…

This research presents results from the 2009 and 2011 evaluations of a biweekly program offered by Sunday Friends, a nonsectarian, nonprofit organization in Santa Clara County, California. The central focus of Sunday Friends is to empower families to “break the cycle of poverty” by providing programming that strengthens families and promotes healthy development of children and youth.

Returning to the homeland
Migration to well-off countries has been well documented. However, the reasons why migrants return to their home countries, which often face severe economic disadvantages, are examined less frequently. The return migration of Japanese-Brazilians (Brazilian citizens of ethnic Japanese descent) who migrate to Japan and return again to Brazil has not been studied to any great extent. To understand the factors associated with Japanese-Brazilians’ ret…
A Preliminary Study of Intimate Partner Violence Among Nepali Women in the United States
Although there is a growing number of studies on intimate partner violence (IPV) in U.S. South Asian communities, the examination of IPV among Nepali women in the United States is still in the initial stage. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of and vulnerabilities to IPV among 45 Nepali immigrant women residing in the New York metropolitan area. The findings demonstrated that 75.6% of women had been verbally insulted by their…
The Effects of Participation in a Cultural Awareness Program on Jail Inmates
Cultural awareness/diversity training has been main-streamed into the educational curriculum and corporate training seminars. This paper is a description of a cultural awareness/diversity program administered as part of a post-release program in Santa Clara County (California). Participants were given pre- and post-program participation questionnaires designed to measure English proficiency, their awareness and pride in their own cultural traditi…
Spousal Abuse
This exploratory study used mailed questionnaires completed by 131 Vietnamese students to examine domestic violence patterns in parents' marital relationships. Research objectives included: (1) gaining an understanding of spousal abuse among Vietnamese couples; and (2) assessing which variables (demographic characteristics, decision-making power, and cultural adaptation, beliefs in traditional gender roles, and conflicts in the family) are correl…
Investigation of a Curvilinear Relationship
This research examines the relationship between perceptions of neighborhood safety or crime and personal interaction occurring in the neighborhood context. Past research has assessed the linear relationship between sentiment concerning local crime and neighborhood interaction and has shown inconsistent findings. We have analyzed the relationship between the two variables and discovered a curvilinear relationship. At the lowest level of feelings o…
Social determinants of neighborhood attachment
The research assesses the relative contribution of social participation and satisfaction with the neighborhood to attachment to the local community or neighborhood. It analyzes the importance of two different sources of community affect on residents’ attachment to their neighborhood. Previous research has focused on subjective social indicators as measures of neighborhood quality, and the establishment of social bonds and interaction as the basis…
Gender and College Opportunities
The authors examine the rise of the two-year college and changes in enrollment patterns between two-year and four-year colleges by sex in the United States and Japan since 1960. Notably, the chances of a woman who attended college of entering a four-year college were less in 1980, in both the U. S. and Japan, than they were in 1960. Channeling large numbers of women into two-year colleges perpetuates occupational sex segregation. Further, it alle…
Individual variations in crime-related decisions
The question of community attachment revisited
In this paper we compare the relative effects of satisfaction with specific community (neighborhood) attributes and social integration into the community on community attachment. Previous research on community attachment has not assessed the importance of satisfaction with specific attributes as a determinant of attachment. Instead, this research has focussed on integration into the social life of a community as the primary source of community at…
