Social Inequality, Economic Decline, and Plutocracy: An American Crisis
Parent-Child Development Center Follow-up Project: Child Behavior Problem Results
The Parent Child Development Centers and School Achievement: A Follow-Up
Significance of Violence in Stories of Young Children
Stories told by 72 5-yr.-old children were scored for themes of violence and correlated with their mothers' reports of aggressive or fearful behaviors. Values for the entire sample were not significant. However, when data for Hispanic children were removed from the sample the correlation of violent stories to ratings of children's aggression was significant (r = .27) and for a count of violent words r = .30. The correlation of violent words to fe…
Adult Smoking in the Home Environment and Children's Iq
In a sample of 3- and 5-yr.-old children, smoking in the home was found to be significantly and inversely related to IQ. Children of normal birth weight and without neurological impairment had been enrolled in a longitudinal study of child development. Analyses were conducted with sex, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, educational stimulation in the home, day care, and mother's intelligence controlled. Significant results were obtained for scores …

Breast Feeding and Children's Intelligence
Breast feeding was reported in 1992 by Lucas, et al. to provide advantages for the development of intelligence in children of low birth weight, possibly through nutrients or other biological factors found in human breast milk but not cow's milk. Research on breast feeding and intelligence in children of normal birth weight has yielded mixed results, probably because measurement of environmental influences has not been thorough and the range of in…
Teaching low-income mothers to teach their children
Assessment of Three-Year-Olds with the Stanford-Binet Fourth Edition
The Stanford-Binet, Fourth Edition was normed for children 30 months of age and older, but its usefulness with young children (e.g., 36 months) has received little attention. This study of 121 three-year-old children examined possible administration problems, provided correlations with three environmental measures, and compared scores with those of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test--Revised. Problems of administration did arise on some subtests…

Home environment and cognitive development in the first 3 years of life: A collaborative study involving six sites and three ethnic groups in North America
Attempted to examine the generalizability of environment/development relationships among 3 ethnic groups across the first 3 years of life. Social status did not show a consistent relationship to either quality of home environment or children's developmental status across the various groups. Results indicated a fairly consistent relationship between HOME scores and children's developmental status, although there were some ethnic and social status …
Comparison of an Intelligence Test and a Screening Battery as Predictors of Reading Ability in Low Income, Mexican American Children
Reading performance of low income, Mexican American children was predicted from scores on the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) and the Florida Kindergarten Screening Battery (FKSB). The WPPSI and the FKSB were administered when the subjects were five years of age. School reading grades and reading scores from the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (lTBS) comprised reading performance measures. Results indicate that the WPPSI an…

Primary prevention of behavior problems in mexican‐american children
A primary prevention program, the Houston Parent-Child Development Center, directed towards infants and their parents, has effectively reduced the frequency of behavior problems for these children 5 to 8 years after the program's completion. Teacher ratings showed significantly fewer acting-out, aggressive behaviors for program children. Ratings of classroom behaviors found program children significantly less hostile and more considerate than con…

Middle Classes in Dependent Countries
A sequel to the first volume in this series, Class and Social Development: A New Theory of the Middle Classes (SAGE 1982), this integrated collection of essays offers a refreshingly critical, comprehensive picture of the middle classes' role in world development. It deserves serious examination by researchers specializing in Third World regions, as well as by students and teachers in fields such as political development, rural sociology, and Marx…

The Responses of Mexican American Children to Cognitive Demands in a Testing Situation
The question of which measures to use in the evaluation of early childhood education programs has become highly controversial. Most program evaluators have relied largely, often exclusively, on one of the standard measures of intelligence such as the Stanford-Binet or WPPSI. The present study incorporated observational procedures into an IQ testing situation in an attempt to include behavioral indices as outcome measures of an educational interve…
The Mother-Child Relationship and Other Antecedents of Academic Performance: A Causal Analysis
Observational measures of mother-child interaction, home environment, demographic variables, and maternal attitudes were used in developing two causal models for classroom and achievement test performance for 86 Mexican American children. These models were tested by path analysis. Maternal attitudes stressing independence and achievement, and years of mother's education promoted the child's intellectual performance at 3 years of age, and also con…
Class Formation and Struggle in Latin America
Dale L. Johnson* Historical development can only be adequately understood as a process of unfolding class relationships. Yet, on a world scale or within regions and nations, class formation, class structure, and class struggle are far from the main preoccupations of most investigators. Research on Latin America has produced an abundance of studies and a considerable advance of knowledge in the areas of political economy and the state. Research on…
Anxiety and Social Restriction: A Study of Children in Mexico, Norway, and the United States
The hypothesis that child anxiety is a function of degree of environmental restrictiveness was tested in Mexico, Norway, and the United States with 440 sixth-grade children. The Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale was used toassess anxiety and a Child's View of Child Rearing questionnaire was used to determine level of restrictiveness. This questionnaire measured restrictiveness in several different areas of parent-child relations. Mexican and U.S.…
The Houston parent—child development center and the primary prevention of behavior problems in young children
This study reports the effectiveness of the Houston Parent--Child Development Center (PCDC) program for preventing behavior problems in young children. The PCDC is a 2-year, intensive parent-child education program for children 1-3 and their parents. Low-income Mexican American families were randomly assigned to program or control groups. A follow-up of the program 1-4 years later, when children averaged 5 1/2 years of age, was carried out with 1…

Economism and Determinism in Dependency Theory
The wide acceptance of dependency theory throughout the Third World constitutes a conceptual revolution in a scientific understanding of large-scale questions of capitalist development. The perspective has succeeded in discrediting the system, legitimating tenents of modernization theory, and in undermining the approach of reform nationalisms. Yet its intellectual and political weight as a now dominant paradigm for analyzing development and under…

Dogmatism and Attitudes toward Adoption
Rokeach's notion of dogmatism viewed as a system or network of beliefs and attitudes was related to the area of adoption attitudes. The Dogmatism Scale and an Adoption Attitude Scale were administered to 113 college students. Hypotheses that dogmatism would be positively related to intolerant attitudes toward adoption and areas related to adoption were almost wholly supported for the 61 males in the sample, but not the females. The results are in…
Personality Patterns in Young Males with Coronary Disease
Results of psychological tests and brief interviews on 25 young males hospitalized for recent myocardial infarction were compared with similar data on 25 males awaiting serious surgery. These data were also available on 25 males hospitalized for benign skin disorders. Both presurgery and postcoronary patients reflect in psychological tests special anxiety regarding imminent death and physical incapacity, coronary patients significantly more so th…

Human Relations Training for Psychiatric Patients: A Follow-Up Study
A Human Relations Training Program for Hospital Personnel
A human relations training laboratory of one week's duration was conducted for dietetic interns. A distinguishing feature of this laboratory was that the small group discussions were self-directed. The effectiveness of the session was evaluated. An analysis of variance revealed significant changes for the trained group, but not for the controls, on certain scales. On other rating scales participants reacted favorably toward the trainina nroaram

Motivation and Readiness of Potential Human Tissue Donors and Nondonors
Persons in groups representing different socioeconomic levels responded to a questionnaire on tissue-donor attitudes. These groups differed sharply in their readiness to volunteer as donors after death, with some volunteering almost unanimously while in others less than half were willing to be donors. Donor tendency is closely associated with educational level, donors having better than a high school education and nondonors less than a high schoo…
Comparison of Four Intelligence Tests Used with Culturally Disadvantaged Children
Responses to 3 brief intelligence tests, the Slosson Intelligence Test, the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, and the Draw-A-Man Test, were compared with scores on the Stanford-Binet from 29 Head Start children. Correlations with the S-B ranged from .79 to .64. The Slosson was judged the best brief substitute for the S-B in that it correlated .79 with the S-B and its mean IQ was virtually the same as the S-B mean
