    This article reports the results of a mixed methods 1-year longitudinal follow-up of the original Whiteness pandemic study among non-Hispanic White Minneapolis families immediately after George Floyd's murder in 2020 (Time 1 [T1]: Ferguson et al., 2022).

    Lauren Eales, Olivia Giammanco et al.ARTICLEJournal of Children and Media2025

    This study uses both quantitative and qualitative data to examine how screen media use and problematic media use changed over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic (pre-onset, 3-months and 15-months post-onset). We examined changes in screen media use (time spent) and problematic media use (seemingly addicted behavior) in children ages 1.17–11.42 years across three time points (N = 316, 51.7% girls, 83.9% White; primarily middle-to-high income). Qu…

  • Cultural differences in earliest memory reports by European and Chinese American university students born in the United States

    Angela F Lukowski, Lauren Eales et al.ARTICLEMemory2022

    Grounded by the ecological systems perspectives proposed by Bronfenbrenner (1977, 1979) and Fivush and Merrill (2016), the present study was conducted to examine whether autobiographical memory (AM) and self-construal differed in young adults raised in the same macrosystem, but with unique microsystems. European American (EA) participants were born in the United States to mothers who were born in the United States (n = 61) and Chinese American (C…

    Open AccessGillespie, Lauren Eales et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2022

    This study examined the associations between remote acculturation to European American culture of the United States (U.S.), and physical activity levels among Jamaican mother-adolescent dyads. Remote acculturation, a modern type of globalization-facilitated acculturation to a distant non-native culture, is a demonstrated risk factor for some health outcomes, but the association with physical activity has not previously been examined. Mothers and …

Quantitative analyses showed a significant SMU an…

    Family socialization into the centuries-old culture of Whiteness-involving colorblindness, passivity, and fragility-perpetrates and perpetuates U.S. racism, reflecting an insidious Whiteness pandemic. As a poignant case study, this mixed methods study examined Whiteness socialization among White mothers ( N = 392, M = 37.99 years, SD = 4.34) in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the month following the May 2020 police killing of unarmed Black resident, Ge…

This article provides an introduction to RA by describing the what, who, how, where, and why of RA, summarizing its implications for youth development and health, and offering additional resources for student/classroom use. Utilizing our …

  • Sleep Hygiene Mediates, but Does Not Moderate, Associations Between Temperament and Sleep Quality in University Students

    Angela F Lukowski, Lauren Eales et al.ARTICLEBehavioral Medicine2018

The present study was conducted to (1) examine relations between temperament and GSQ in university students broadly recruited, (2) document associations between SHB and temperament in this sample…
