The Impact of Education Abroad Participation on College Student Success Among First-Generation Students
This study utilized the large-scale, multi-institutional CASSIE dataset to examine the impact of education abroad participation on academic outcomes for first-generation college students. Using robust multivariate matching methodology that effectively minimized self-selection bias, results showed the magnitude of benefit offered by studying abroad was greater for first-generation students than for continuing-generation students. Even after matchi…

Program Design and the Development of Students’ Global Perspectives in Faculty-Led Short-Term Study Abroad
This study explores connections between design features of faculty-led short-term study abroad programs and resulting changes in students’ global perspectives. Over 2,000 students provided data for this study, completing the Global Perspective Inventory (GPI) before and after studying abroad. Results indicated that program features such as participation in an internship and opportunities for reflection are positively associated with global perspe…

The effect of training and rater differences on oral proficiency assessment
As a result of the fact that judgments of non-native speech are closely tied to social biases, oral proficiency ratings are susceptible to error because of rater background and social attitudes. In the present study we seek first to estimate the variance attributable to rater background and attitudinal variables on novice raters’ assessments of L2 spoken English. Second, we examine the effects of minimal training in reducing the potency of those …
Health literacy–listening skill and patient questions following cancer prevention and screening discussions
OBJECTIVE: Patient question-asking is essential to shared decision making. We sought to describe patients' questions when faced with cancer prevention and screening decisions, and to explore differences in question-asking as a function of health literacy with respect to spoken information (health literacy-listening). METHODS: Four-hundred and thirty-three (433) adults listened to simulated physician-patient interactions discussing (i) prophylacti…

Mitigating U.S. Undergraduates’ Attitudes Toward International Teaching Assistants
Intelligibility problems between native speakers ( NS s) and nonnative speakers ( NNS s) of English are often attributed to some perceived inadequacy of the NNS s. This emphasis on the NNS s’ role in successful communication is highly problematic, given that intelligibility is a negotiated process between speaker and listener. In some cases, NS s have negative attitudes toward NNS s that impair their willingness to communicate with NNS s and to a…
Suprasegmental Measures of Accentedness and Judgments of Language Learner Proficiency in Oral English
In high‐stakes oral proficiency testing as well as in everyday encounters, accent is the most salient aspect of nonnative speech. Prior studies of English language learners’ (ELLs’) pronunciation have focused on single parameters of English, such as vowel duration, fundamental frequency as related to intonation, or temporal measures of speech production. The present study addresses a constellation of suprasegmental characteristics of nonnative sp…
Couples' communication on sexual and relational issues among the Akamba in Kenya
A large portion of HIV transmission in sub-Saharan Africa occurs among married couples, yet the majority of research on safer-sex communication has focused on communication between couples in casual relationships. This paper explores how committed Kamba couples in Machakos District, Kenya, communicate about sensitive relational issues. The findings from focus group discussions with five groups of males and five groups of females are presented. Th…
Reverse Linguistic Stereotyping
The linguistic stereotyping hypothesis holds that even brief samples of speech varieties associated with low-prestige groups can cue negative attributions regarding individual speakers. The converse phenomenon is reverse linguistic stereotyping (RLS). In RLS, attributions of a speaker's group membership trigger distorted evaluations of that person's speech. The present study established a procedure for ascertaining a proclivity to RLS for individ…

Factors Leading to Self-Disclosure of a Positive HIV Diagnosis in Nairobi, Kenya
Understanding why, how, and to whom people living with HIV/AIDS disclose their diagnosis to others is a critical issue for HIV prevention and care efforts, but previous investigations of those issues in sub-Saharan Africa have been limited to one or two questions included in quantitative studies of social support or stigma. Instruments and findings on serostatus disclosure based on U.S. populations are likely to be at best only partially relevant…

Cultural Competence and Identity in Cross-cultural Adaptation
The present study examines the role of a Vietnamese heritage language school in cross-cultural adaptation, as operationalised by the confluence of two independent variables, language competence and integrated cultural identity. To characterise the students' language competencies and degree of integrated cultural identities, interview questionnaires of virtually a complete census of students in the school were analysed via descriptive statistics. …

Elaboration in Processing Adolescent Health Messages
The present studies explored how adolescents process information in making decisions about risk behavior. We studied two developmental aspects of adolescent egocentrism: personal fable (a sense of invulnerability) and imaginary audience (focus on others), along with individual difference variables (sensation seeking, self-esteem, and peer pressure). The studies investigated the effects of a message variable, elaboration demand, which is driven by…
Elaborated Student Talk in an Elementary EsoL Classroom
Examines the discourse in an English as a second or other language (ESoL) classroom in a best-case scenario that contrasted dramatically with more typical school settings. Samples student critical turns (SCTs) across a six-week literature-rich science unit. Shows that the teacher played a crucial role in extended dialogue among students
Enacting Gender Identity in Written Discourse
This study investigated ways in which gender identity is enacted within written language. Participants first supplied a self-descriptive letter that might be filed with a dating service. Next, they responded to a fabricated personal ad posted by a potential dating partner. Contextual factors in this study were writing task (self-description or response to a personal ad) and the gender role "bid" (either instrumental or expressive) of the hypothet…

Evaluating the Impact of Collectivism and Individualism on Argumentative Writing by Chinese and North American College Students
Analyzes writing features conceptually linked to collectivist or individualist orientations among students from Taiwan and the United States. Notes that theses features were indirectness, personal disclosure, use of proverbs and other canonical expressions, collective self, and assertiveness. Makes comparisons across languages and nationalities and also across language alone

Adopting Gender-Inclusive Language Reforms
Previous research demonstrates a decline across time in gender-exclusive language among language users who are occupationally mandated to conform to nonsexist language guidelines (e.g., journalists). Little prior research, however, bears on changes across time among language users who are not thus constrained. Some prior studies do suggest that individual difference variables such as psychological gender-role schema and attitudes toward sexist la…

Middle Class Blacks' Perceptions of Dialect and Style Shifting
Both research and practical experience indicate that black dialect impedes mobility into mainstream American economic and political life. Blacks may learn to use Standard English as an entre into mainstream American culture and yet still preserve their cultural identities. It is possible that successful blacks retain their cultural identities because they perceive themselves as shifting, when appropriate, into a formal style that still lies withi…

Multiple Determinants of a Stigmatized Speech Style
Previous research identifies a number of factors associated with a socially stigmatized speech style known initially as "women's language" and subsequently as "powerless language." This study examines the effects of speaker sex, socio-economic status, ability, communication apprehension, rigidity, and question type on the incidence of 16 style markers and on verbosity in simulated job interviews. Results reveal limited evidence of the impact of s…
Effects of dialect‐ethnicity, social class and quality of written compositions on teachers' subjective evaluations of children
In the context of previous work related to linguistic stereotypes and Pygmalion effects, this research describes the relative effect of factors of dialect‐ethnicity, social class, and quality of written compositions on pre‐service elementary teachers’ judgments of children's scholastic success. Analysis of teachers’ semantic differential ratings indicates some relative salience for social class over dialect‐ethnicity and quality of composition. A…

Effects of Gender Inclusive/Exclusive Language in Religious Discourse
Religious speech (i.e. preaching) is a prominent language event, yet it has received scant attention in research on language and attitudes. In recent years, many religious institutions have adopted reforms mandating gender-inclusive (non-sexist) language. Only a few studies have examined the effects of gender-inclusive or gender-exclusive language use on listeners' judgments of speakers, and none of these examine religious discourse in particular…

Adapting syntax in writing to varying audiences as a function of age and social cognitive ability
Fourth-, eighth-, twelfth-graders and expert adults each wrote persuasive messages to three audiences arrayed along a dimension of intimacy to writer. Measures of social cognitive ability were also obtained. Scripts were analysed for (1) fluency, (2) subordination, (3) clause length, (4) logical adverbial clauses, and (5) conjunctions of conclusion. In addition to general developmental trends, results indicated effects of audience adaptation and …
