Screening for hearing loss in early childhood programs
Early Intervention for Children with Permanent Hearing Loss: Finishing the Ehdi Revolution
The value of identifying permanent hearing loss during the first few months of life and providing effective treatment to ameliorate or even eliminate the negative consequences has been recognized for many decades.Unfortunately, improvements in achieving this goal were very gradual until the early 1990s.At that time, the combination of technological advances in screening and diagnostic equipment and hearing technologies created a revolution in our…
"Comments on Stack and Gundlach's "The Effect of Country Music on Suicide: An "Achy Breaky Heart" May Not Kill You
Stack and Gundlach (1992) report a strong link between country music and metro-politan suicide rates for whites. In this article, we argue that the authors (l) fall into the methodological trap of the “ecological fallacy” and (2) present weak arguments on causality by purporting that a country music subculture, at least partially, explains suicides among whites in metropolitan areas. We conclude that inferences about individual behavior drawn fro…
Single Parenting in Families of Children with Disabilities
Rearing a child with disabilities is a challenge, per- haps even more so for single parents who most often are women. Stress and negative psychological effects have been considered likely outcomes for parents of children with disabilities. With the increased family focus in the provision of services for children with disabilities, it becomes even more important to understand the sources of stress and the types of adaptations made in these familie…
Preface to the Special Issue
Reply to Weiss and Rosenberg
Weiss and Rosenberg (1986) appropriately note that the response was inaccurately reported by Bush and White (1985). It is unfortunate that this point is obscured by the unnecesszrg and often inaccurate criticisms about sample bias, costeffectiveness, and the over-all usefulness of the proposed technique. It is even more unfortunate that Weiss and Rosenberg did not respond to each of the following criticisms in their article, since each was pointe…
Questionnaire Distribution: A Method That Significantly Improved Return Rates
Questionnaires are commonly used in psychological research because they are easily administered, but several limitations often reduce the effectiveness and validity of such research. Key among those limitations are the uncertain representativeness and associated bias of data collected from volunteer samples with typically obtained return rates of 50 to 60% or less. As a result, any method for questionnaire distribution which cost-effectively incr…
Teacher-Student Interaction Patterns in Classrooms with Mainstreamed Mildly Handicapped Students
Teacher-student interaction patterns in 12 third-grade mainstreamed classrooms were observed with four groups of students: (1) nonhandicapped high achievers, (2) nonhandicapped low achievers, (3) learning disabled, and (4) behaviorally handicapped. Teacher-student interaction was defined using 16 dependent measures derived from the Brophy-Good Teacher-Child Dyadic Interaction System. Multivariate and Univariate Analysis of Variance procedures dem…
The relation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement
Although it is widely believed that socioeconomic status (SES) is strongly correlated with measures of academic achievement, weak and moderate correlations are frequently reported. Using meta-analysis techniques, almost 200 studies that considered the relation between SES and academic achievement were examined. Results indicated that as SES is typically defined (income, education, and/or occupation of household heads) and typically used (individu…
