Measuring campus sexual misconduct and its context

Practice Update
There is growing recognition of the risk for traumatic brain injury (TBI) among victims and survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). A wide range of physically abusive behaviors may lead to injuries to the head or neck and place an individual at risk for a TBI. The purpose of this article is to consolidate current research and present practical guidelines for professionals, who are not brain injury specialists, but work with clients who may …
Motherhood and Family Health Advocacy in Nutrition and Exercise
Studies tend to subsume women’s routine family healthcare responsibilities under the larger heading of “household labor.” This study argues that, women’s—and particularly mothers’—family healthcare work in the area of diet and physical activity represents a distinctive area for critical family communication research with potentially serious psychological, emotional, and physical consequences for women and their families. Interviews (N = 30) with …
The Intersection of Intimate Partner Violence and Traumatic Brain Injury
We Do Babies! The Trials, Tribulations, and Triumphs of Pregnancy and Parenting in the Academy
The most awkward moment at that faculty meeting occurred when a certain senior colleague in the department replied, Well, when my wife was pregnant, she gave birth during spring break and didn't miss a day of class. Despite backstage reassurances that these were unrealistic expectations, those who were pregnant experienced an unspoken pressure that failure to minimize the interference of impending parenthood on their careers threatened public imp…

The Chilling Effect and Family Secrets
Two studies were conducted to test a theoretical model of the psychological and communicative links that mediate the impact of the chilling effect on the continued concealment of secrets in families. More specifically, we argued that individuals' continued concealment of a secret from aggressive family members would be mediated by the desire for protection (both of self and others). It was also hypothesized that the need for protection would nega…
The Chilling Effect in Families and the Pressure to Conceal Secrets
In this study two models were constructed to test the link between the chilling effect and family members' continued concealment of secrets. The direct effects model suggests that coercive power in families has a direct influence on family members' concealment, such that it suppresses the desire to reveal sensitive information for fear of negative consequences. In contrast, the indirect effects model contends that coercive power diminishes family…

Relational Control-Motivated Aggression
Relational Control-Motivated Aggression
Although there is consensus about power and control's central role in violent interpersonal relationships, researchers have characterized control as a unidimensional concept. Also, researchers have viewed interpersonal violence as a unitary phenomenon, assuming that all couples experience violence in the same way. Recognizing these gaps, the goal of this essay is to explicate a conceptually and empirically derived typology of violent couples that…
The Role of Voice in the (Re)Construction of a Battered Woman's Identity
Grounded in social constructionism, this autoethnography explores how one woman's identity was (re)constructed during her abusive relationship—first, how a subjugated identity was created during the entrapment phase, and, second, how an autonomous, self-confident sense of self emerged from the shackles of an enmeshed identity. Finally, assuming the dualistic stance of researcher and participant, the author integrates her “personal expertise” with…
"Becoming a family"
We adopted a process-focus in order to gain a deeper understanding of how (step) blended family members experiencing different developmental pathways discursively represented their processes of becoming a family. Using a qualitative/interpretive method, we analyzed 980 pages of interview transcripts with stepparents and stepchildren. We studied the first four years of family development, using the five developmental pathways developed by Baxter, …
