Parental Gatekeeping Measure: Adaptation and Validation of the Maternal Gatekeeping Measure in Study of Polish Mothers and Fathers
Effects of delayed testing on decisions to stop learning
This study explores whether people’s preference to restrict to-be-learned material is influenced by memory test timing. In Experiments 1a and 2a, participants studied word lists. For control groups, lists were displayed in their entirety, whereas participants in other groups could stop the lists early. We investigated whether participants decided to terminate learning when they expected their free-recall memory to be tested after a short (Experim…
The Báa nnilah Program: Results of a Chronic-Illness Self-Management Cluster Randomized Trial with the Apsáalooke Nation
Indigenous people in Montana are disproportionately affected by chronic illness (CI), a legacy of settler colonialism. Existing programs addressing CI self-management are not appropriate because they are not consonant with Indigenous cultures in general and the Apsáalooke culture specifically. A research partnership between the Apsáalooke (Crow Nation) non-profit organization Messengers for Health and Montana State University co-developed, implem…
Developing and Implementing a Culturally Consonant Treatment Fidelity Support Plan with the Apsáalooke Nation
Treatment fidelity remains underreported in health intervention research, particularly among Indigenous communities. One explanation for this gap is the lack of culturally consonant strategies listed in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Behavior Change Consortium (BCC) treatment fidelity framework, the gold standard for understanding and measuring fidelity. This paper focuses on the development and implementation of a culturally consonant t…
Fiction as Supplement to History: The Case of Yuan Jiao’s Ganze Yao
In this essay I examine the relationship between fictive and historical (here meaning otherwise attested, rather than necessarily veracious) elements in two tales from the Tang dynasty writer Yuan Jiao’s 袁郊 ninth-century Ganze yao 甘澤謠, a collection of anecdotes about events in the Tang past. Yuan Jiao’s tales concern historical figures and build on incidents that are confirmed in other sources and appear to have been well known at the time, into …
Day‐to‐day changes and longer‐term adjustments to divorce ideation: Marital commitment uncertainty processes over time
Considering the Roles of Children and Finances in the Divorce Decision-Making Process
Deciding to divorce can be confusing, with a clear path moving forward elusive. We conducted a qualitative content analysis of 30 interviews of individuals deciding whether to divorce to gain a better understanding of the role that children and finances play in this process. Key findings include that children and finances are not only reasons to stay in a marriage (barriers to divorce) but are also reasons people give for why they are interested …
The Impact of Identity on Divorce Decision-Making: A Grounded Theory Study
We examine the role that identity plays in the divorce decision-making process according to interviews with wave one respondents of the National Divorce Decision-Making study. Our sample (n = 30) consisted of men and women who were actively thinking about getting divorced. We present the results of a grounded theory approach to understanding the process of thinking about divorce and the role one’s identity may play in that decision-making process…
Community sharing: Contextualizing Western research notions of contamination within an Indigenous research paradigm
Báa nnilah is a chronic illness self‐management program designed by and for the Apsáalooke (Crow) community. Arising from a collaboration between an Indigenous nonprofit organization and a university‐based research team, Báa nnilah's development, implementation, and evaluation have been influenced by both Indigenous and Western research paradigms (WRPs). Báa nnilah was evaluated using a randomized wait‐list control group design. In a WRP, contami…
University of Washington School of Medicine
Medical Education Program Highlights The University of Washington School of Medicine (UWSOM) is a top-ranking scientific research institution and a leader in training primary care physicians. Since the 1970s, UWSOM has ranked among the top 8 medical schools in receipt of National Institutes of Health research support while maintaining a strong commitment to training rural physicians. Through its 48-year-old WWAMI (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Mon…
Teaching citizen scientists to categorize glitches using machine learning guided training
Existing literature points to scaffolded training as an effective yet resource-intensive approach to help newcomers learn and stay motivated. Experts need to select relevant learning materials and continuously assess learners' progress. Peer production communities such as Wikipedia and Open Source Software Development projects face the additional problem of turning volunteers into productive participants as soon as possible. To address these chal…
Improving chronic illness self-management with the Apsáalooke Nation: Development of the Báa nnilah program
The Roles of Love and Happiness in Divorce Decision Making
Little is known about divorce decision making, the process of deciding whether to divorce when a marriage is distressed. The focus of this qualitative study was to explore the roles of love and happiness—two Western ideals that govern contemporary marital processes—in divorce decision making. Married participants (N = 30) with recent thoughts about divorce were interviewed about their conceptions of love and happiness in their decision-making pro…
Divorce Decision-Making and the Divine
Research on the role that religion and spirituality play in divorce is fairly limited and what has been published deals mostly with postdivorce adjustment. Very little research examines the role religion and spirituality play in the actual decision to divorce or stay married. We report the results of a content analysis of 30 qualitative interviews specifically focused on the intersection of religion, spirituality, and the divine and the role thes…
Seeking Clarity and Confidence in the Divorce Decision-Making Process
There is a well-established literature dedicated to why couples divorce, transitions associated with divorce, and the impact of divorce on families. However, little is known about the divorce decision-making process. We conducted in-depth interviews with individuals who have recently considered divorce (n = 30) and asked specifically about the roles of 2 concepts in their decision-making process: clarity and confidence. Three major themes emerged…
Theorizing the Decision‐Making Process for Divorce or Reconciliation
Divorce is commonplace in the United States, with an abundant scholarship on the phenomenon. Most research has focused on predictors of divorce, associations between divorce and family member well‐being, and interventions and policies for divorcing couples and children. Although this scholarship tells us much about why couples get divorced and the impact divorce has, it has little to say about how individuals think about and couples talk about an…
Work Interference with Dinnertime as a Mediator and Moderator Between Work Hours and Work and Family Outcomes
Using a sample of U.S. IBM employees who are parents (N = 1,580), the authors evaluated whether work interference with dinnertime mediates and moderates the relationship between work hours and work, personal, and family outcomes. The negative relationships between work hours and success in personal life, relationships with spouse/partner and children, and the perception of an emotionally healthy workplace were mediated by work interference with d…
Defining and conceptualizing workplace flexibility
We first compare and contrast current conceptualizations of workplace flexibility in order to arrive at a definition in harmony with its contemporary use: 'the ability of workers to make choices influencing when, where, and for how long they engage in work-related tasks'. Next, we situate workplace flexibility in its theoretical contexts to provide researchers with a clearer understanding of what workplace flexibility is, what its mechanisms of o…
Les services destinés aux pères, une description et un regard sur l’évolution des pratiques canadiennes
Un des facteurs importants de la promotion de l’engagement paternel est la capacité des organismes et de leurs intervenants à rejoindre les pères et à leur offrir des activités, services, ressources ou programmes. Une enquête réalisée en 2003 auprès de plus de 1 000 organismes canadiens permet de décrire l’intensité des interventions offertes aux pères, les obstacles et les résultats perçus. Elle permet aussi de décrire l’évolution de ces pratiqu…
Maternal Gatekeeping: Mothers' Beliefs and Behaviors That Inhibit Greater Father Involvement in Family Work

Professional Women and Marriage
This study was designed to explore the phenomenon of late marriage in a sample of highly educated professional women. Using Elder's (1972) concept that the timing of marriage is a consequence of interaction between the relative rewards and costs associated with marriage and other roles, the marital prospects and the availability of alternative roles, ten hypotheses were formulated to study the process of late marriage. It was found that, compared…
