All Gas and No Brakes!”
In this essay, I consider the concurrent emergence of a new generic metaphor for the adolescent condition and suggest that, given the familiar notions of a poorly controlled (or even totally out-of-control) state of being it invokes, its endorsement by “teen brain” supporters seriously compromises assertions of even-handed promotion of adolescents’ strengths and weaknesses. Of course the riposte to this might be that metaphors matter much less th…
Adolescent Decision-making
A sizeable research literature exists which examines the perceived influence of parents and peers on adolescent decision-making. Many of the methodologies employed have arguably contributed to the tendency for parents and peers to be perceived either as adversarial or as influential in fairly separate and discrete domains. This New Zealand study attempted to circumvent some of these problems, and to facilitate direct comparison between adult and …
Limitations Unlimited
Radical epistemological critiques of developmental and social psychology are nothing new, and major methodological debates are now common even within the mainstream literature. Yet a considerable amount of research continues to be conducted in apparent ignorance of, or with more deliberate disregard for, these challenges. Two pervasive research practices of particular concern are: (a) the espousal of conceptual frugality (authorizing avoidance of…

Experience of Everyday Hassles and Comparative Sense of Well-being in New Zealand Adolescents
Researchers continue to debate the relative merits of reporting stress associated with particular life events and assessing generalised (nonspecific) experience of distress. A survey of 1799 adolescents in New Zealand examined the relationship between the two approaches, using ratings of specific hassles and a nonspecific measure which, unlike those employed in previous research, asked for comparisons of self with same-age peers. Some clear patte…
The "Ideal" Black Family
Many writers have documented changes that have occurred during past two decades in respect participation of Blacks in North American television programs. Earlier reports emphasized general underrepresentation of Blacks on television and their typical restriction unimportant petty criminal roles in crime drama series; even when characters were industrious and law abiding, they were located almost exclusively in low-status positions (e.g., Banks, 1…
Barbadian Adolescents in 1991
A nationally representative sample of 830 adults in the Caribbean island of Barbados gave their views (via item ratings and free comments) on the extent to which they perceived young people (11–16 years) in 1991 to differ from their counterparts ten years ago. Major changes were thought to have occurred with regard to sexual knowledge and activity, respect for others and their property, and susceptibility to foreign influence. Findings are discus…
Parental Self-Reports of Child Rearing Practices in the Caribbean
The modified Block Child Rearing Practices Report (Rickel & Biasatti, 1982) was completed by 628 Black parents in the Caribbean island of Barbados. Separate factor analyses of responses to the main Nurturance and Restrictiveness scales identified four and five fairly discrete and independent subscales (respectively). Findings were generally consistent with those of prior sociological and anthropological research in the Caribbean, but also served …

Barbadian Adolescents' Views of the “Ideal” Family
An instrument examining the perceptions of "ideal" family functioning was administered to 536 adolescents aged 12 to 18 yr. in Barbados. Analysis indicated fairly extensive differences between the views of male and female students, somewhat fewer differences in age and type of school attended, and very few differences associated with household composition and religious affiliation
Adolescent fears
Attitudes toward Love in the Caribbean
The Munro-Adams Love Attitude Scale was administered to 369 subjects aged 15 to 35 yr. in the Caribbean islands of Barbados and St. Lucia. Unlike North American and African samples surveyed with this instrument, West Indians endorsed Romantic Idealism more strongly than Conjugal Love. Data are interpreted in terms of Caribbean household structures and patterns of males' and females' relationships
Dimensions of Occupational Stress in West Indian Secondary School Teachers
Despite a growing body of research on teacher stress and development of stress-management programmes, studies come almost exclusively from just a few industrialised nations and the applicability of their recommendations for teacher training in developing regions is difficult to ascertain. The present study helps to redress this imbalance, and reports on data from 444 secondary school teachers in Barbados using a 36-item self-report instrument. In…

Incidence of Left-Handedness for Writing
Recent investigations of left hand usage in non-Western societies have typically involved administration of a battery of tests to small samples. The present study took an alternative approach, surveying a large population on the single measure of hand used for writing. In a sample of 56,779 Nigerian primary schoolchildren, an overall incidence of 4.51 % was found, considerably higher than previous reports from Nigeria and other parts of Africa. I…
