Participant reflections on short-term international volunteering
Millions of volunteers travel annually on short-term international service trips, often with the motivation of serving host communities. These trips have benefits for both the volunteers and the host communities, but also carry potential risks. The goal of the present study was to investigate how volunteers perceived their trip experiences, including the potential risks and benefits to themselves and the communities they served. Previous voluntee…
The best intentions
Millions travel annually for short-term international service trips (STIST). These trips often involve volunteering with vulnerable children, including those in residential care (ex. orphanages). Though a prevalent practice, little research exists regarding how volunteers are prepared and what activities they engage in. The goal of the present study was to provide data on pre-trip preparation, in-country activities, and how these impacted volunte…
Attachment classification and years of service in a sample of human service providers working in child welfare
Employee turnover is a pressing problem facing human service professions, especially professionals providing services in the child welfare system. Few studies have examined whether psychological characteristics contribute to turnover. Research suggests that insecure attachment representations may impact burnout and secondary traumatic stress, both common causes of turnover. However, little is known about whether attachment representations vary by…
An Evaluation of the Psychometric Properties of the Attachment Behavior Checklist
The Attachment Behavior Checklist is a promising, but unvalidated, measure designed to assess attachment disturbances. Confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses were conducted. Results revealed a 5-factor solution best fit the data. Individual differences in the factors were examined. The Child Behavior Checklist was used to determine convergent and discriminant validity
More than words
Studying the attachment representations of child welfare workers can benefit workers and the vulnerable populations they serve. The Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) is the most widely used and well-validated measure of adult attachment but is also costly and time-consuming to score. Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC), a text-analysis software program, has the potential to lessen the burden of AAI scoring, making it a lower-cost, faster option f…
The role of attachment classification on disclosure of self and rater-reported adverse childhood experiences in a sample of child welfare professionals
Mental State Language Development
Maternal mental state language is thought to influence children's mental state language and sociocognitive understanding (e.g., theory of mind), but the mechanism is unclear. The current study examined the longitudinal development of mental state language in mother–child interactions. The methodology included assessments of the child and/or mother–child dyad at six time points between 12 to 52 months of the child's age. Measures determined child'…
Decrease in Behavioral Problems and Trauma Symptoms Among At-Risk Adopted Children Following Trauma-Informed Parent Training Intervention
Children who have experienced early adversities are at risk for behavioral problems and trauma symptoms. Using a two-group, pre-post intervention design, the current study evaluated the effectiveness of a parent training utilizing Trust-Based Relational Intervention, a trauma-informed, attachment-based intervention, in reducing behavioral problems and trauma symptoms in at-risk adopted children. Children of parents in the treatment group ( n = 48…
