Richard Mitchell and Coal Mining Trade Unionism, 1858-1864
Histories of trade unionism have minimised the significance of the early years of the Coal Miners’ Association in south Yorkshire. For six years, beginning in 1858, Richard Mitchell was employed as the union’s first secretary and his term of office witnessed a succession of notable events, both locally and nationally, in which he took a significant part. These include the ‘checkweighman’ provision in the Mines Regulation and Inspection Act, 1860;…

Doncaster Mansion House Portraits: A Pictorial Tour
Doncaster’s civic Mansion House contains, amongst other paintings, 23 portraits in oils acquired between 1804 and 1985 in four of its principal rooms. A few were commissioned for the building, but most were obtained by gift from a range of donors. This article explains the occasion and examines the motives for these acquisitions and suggests some mutual features which provide historical links between them
Notes and Documents: An Italian Conspirator in Exile: The Memoirs of Cavaliere Giovanni Batista Testa (1798–1882)
One of the earliest European uprisings against the post-Napoleonic governments imposed by the Congress of Vienna occurred in 1821. This article relates to one of the casualties of the uprising. Few would have been aware that the unassuming Italian refugee Giovanni Batista Testa, living as a language teacher in Doncaster for over five decades from 1825, had played a part in the early events of the Risorgimento. Abandoning his post in a leading law…
The Wirrall Family: Doncaster Merchants, Yorkshire Gentry, and Settlers in Ulster, 1514–1641
The Wirrall family emerged as leading figures in the borough of Doncaster in the early sixteenth century and by mid-century had begun to establish themselves firmly amongst the gentry. From time to time they exhibited abrasive commercial acumen in dealings with the borough corporation as they sought to make the most of the opportunities offered by their newly-acquired manorial rights. These tensions became evident in a series of law suits and in …

Long-term exposure to political violence: The particular injury of persistent humiliation
Political Conflict and Youth: A Long‐Term View
Over the past two decades, the scientific study of youth experience with political conflict has come into its own as a recognized, vibrant field of scholarship. This essay briefly reviews the state of the research. It notes the upsurge in volume and increase in the sophistication of the research, including larger and more representative samples, inclusion of locally defined assessments of youth functioning, and the study of the broader social eco…

The Politics of Development
Humans develop within multiple contexts. Regrettably, developmentalists pay inadequate attention to the political context, which, arguably, is the most potent and determinative sphere of the human ecology. The political context is crucial for three reasons.First, its coverage is extraordinarily broad, and, in key ways binding. It includes governmental systems or structures - which often vary along a continuum of democracy - and their responsibili…
Human insecurity, chronic economic constraints and health in the occupied Palestinian territory
Research on the effects of political conflict has focused predominantly on the association between violence exposure and psychological trauma. This paper expands that focus. We broaden the assessment of health beyond the conventional spotlight on trauma-related stress to include culturally derived measures of health, and we assess the association between a broad array of political and economic conditions and health. Household interviews were cond…

Annual Research Review: The experience of youth with political conflict – challenging notions of resilience and encouraging research refinement
AIMS AND METHOD: Drawing on empirical studies and literature reviews, this paper aims to clarify and qualify the relevance of resilience to youth experiencing political conflict. It focuses on the discordance between expectations of widespread dysfunction among conflict-affected youth and a body of empirical evidence that does not confirm these expectations. FINDINGS: The expectation for widespread dysfunction appears exaggerated, relying as it d…

Political Activism of Palestinian Youth: Exploring Individual, Parental, and Ecological Factors
The growing literature on youth and political conflict has not included an adequate focus on youth activism. To address this deficit, this study used youth- and parent-reported data (N = 6,718) from the 1994-1995 Palestinian Family Study to test an ecological model of family influence (parents' activism, expectations for their adolescents' activism, support, psychological control), youth characteristics (self-evaluation), and elements of the broa…
Adolescents’ Self-Disclosure to Parents Across Cultures: Who Discloses and Why
Much attention has been given to self-disclosure as an important component of parent—adolescent relationships. The authors address gaps in the current literature via a multimethod, multicultural design, interviewing 120 adolescents in Costa Rica, Thailand, and South Africa about their reasons for disclosing to parents, and then constructing items to represent the essence of the interview data and administering these items (along with measures of …
Feeling disrespected by parents: Refining the measurement and understanding of psychological control
This study investigated parental psychological control of adolescents when construed as disrespect of individuality. First, 120 adolescents from 5 cultures were interviewed and asked to identify specific parental behaviors that communicated to them that they were disrespected as individuals. The interview data were coded and 8 new survey items were constructed to reflect key content. These items were then administered to 2100 adolescents in the s…
The Shifting Complex of Identity: Issues of Individual and Contextual Change Informing the Narrative Identities of Conflict Youth
Ideny t i t Meaning Narrative Political conflict Youht P hillip Hammack [2010] has offered a considerable piece of work that is charac-teristically impressive in its scholarship and admirably honest in its introspection. To borrow his device, the paper provides both substantial benefits to, and levies war-ranted burdens on, students of human development. His analysis is ambitious, in equal measure by his choice of context (political conflict) and…
How Do Parents Make Adolescents Feel Loved? Perspectives on Supportive Parenting From Adolescents in 12 Cultures
The conceptualization and measurement of parental support is predominately the work of adult researchers from the West. This mixed-method study reports the parental behaviors that adolescents themselves perceive as supportive. Data come from the Cross-National Adolescent Project, a survey of adolescents in 12 nations or ethnic groups in Africa, Asia, Australia, the Americas, the Balkans, Europe, and the Middle East. The authors find that adolesce…
Contrasting portraits of war: Youths' varied experiences with political violence in Bosnia and Palestine
This article illustrates some of the complexity of youths' experience with political violence as a means of cautioning researchers, applied professionals and policy makers against overly-simplistic conclusions and interventions when attempting to understand and serve the large populations of the world's youth who endure conflict. A variety of forms of data and their analyses from one research program are utilized to show how distinctly two cohort…

When There Is Conflict: Interparental Conflict, Parent–Child Conflict, and Youth Problem Behaviors
This study examined direct and indirect associations between overt and covert interparental conflict (IPC), parent-child conflict, and their links to youth problem behaviors. Data were collected from a sample of 641 school-age youth, ages 12 to 18 years, using a school-based survey. Analyses yielded direct positive linkages from overt IPC to antisocial behavior and from covert IPC to depression and antisocial behavior. When parent-child conflict …
Neighborhood Conditions, Parenting, and Adolescent Functioning
This study examined youth self-reported data from a 4-year longitudinal study of 5th and 8th grade youth and their parents. Relationships between neighborhood conditions, parenting, and youth antisocial behavior were tested using structural equation modeling. The findings of this study appear to suggest there are two social forces that affect youth antisocial behavior: parenting and neighborhood conditions. Higher levels of parental acceptance an…
Parental Support, Behavioral Control, and Psychological Control Among African American Youth: The Relationships to Academic Grades, Delinquency, and Depression
Associations among three dimensions of parenting (support, behavioral control, psychological control) and measures of adolescent depression, delinquency, and academic achievement were assessed in a sample of African American youth. All data were adolescent self-reports by way of school-administered questionnaires in random samples of classrooms in southeastern U.S. metropolitan areas. Path analysis revealed several associations between parenting …
Assessing the Transitions to Middle and High School
This study assessed patterns of change in perceived school and youth functioning, and the extent to which perceived change in the school environment predicted changed youth functioning, across four consecutive grade transitions, two of which involved the transition to a new school.

Family Cohesion and Enmeshment: Different Constructs, Different Effects
Some past conceptualizations in family research have synthesized the constructs of family cohesion and enmeshment by placing enmeshment at the high extreme end of cohesion. In this article, we argue that, theoretically, the 2 are different constructs-cohesion is a measure of supportive interaction, and enmeshment is a measure of psychological control. We examine this hypothesis by testing the associations between adolescent reports of family cohe…
Family, Personality, and Adolescent Problem Behaviors
This paper reviews several related literatures on family and personal correlates of adolescent problem behaviors with the intention of providing an integrative framework to guide future research. The review has three majorpurposes: (a) to differentiate among categories of problem behavior, (b) to provide a more comprehensive and integrative representation of family influences than previous research has, and (c) to consider the interactive effects…

Cultural, Family, and Personal Contexts of Parent-Adolescent Conflict
Conflict between parents and their adolescents has been the subject of considerable research attention over the past several decades. Although much of this research has been criticized as atheoretical in design (Montemayor, 1983), there have been important theoretical implications drawn From its findings. Most significantly, the findings that only a minority of U.S. families experience serious levels of conflict have been instrumental in reframin…
Dimensions of Fathers' and Mothers' Supportive Behavior: The Case for Physical Affection
Past research has described parental support as unidimensional and ignored physical affection, both conceptually and operationally. In the present study, factor analysis of 527 college students reveals four separate dimensions of parental support: general support, physical affection, companionship, and sustained contact. Fathers are shown to differentiate their expression of physical affection and sustained contact on the basis of the sex of the …

A social-ecological analysis of adolescent suicidal ideation
The effects of family, school, peers, and religion on adolescent suicidal ideation were investigated using self-derogation as a mediating variable. As was hypothesized, the effects of different social variables were largely mediated by self-derogation. Family variables were found to be more salient predictors of both self-derogation and suicidal ideation than were nonfamily variables
