Impact of social factors and health campaigns on the burden of idiopathic epilepsy: An inequality, decomposition, generalized and synthetic difference-in-differences study
Background: Idiopathic epilepsy is a major global health burden that causes premature death and disability. Previous studies have systematically analyzed trends in the burden of idiopathic epilepsy. However, analyses of the impact of social factors, health campaigns and policies on the burden of idiopathic epilepsy are lacking. This study aims to fill that gap. Methods: We used data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) and calculated the …
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…

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…

Courtship Progression Rate and Declines in Expressed Affection Early in Marriage: A Test of the Disillusionment Model
According to the disillusionment model, dating partners may idealize each other due to romantic feelings and partners' presenting themselves favorably to each other. However, this idealization can fade once couples marry and experience routine daily living. Highly passionate (i.e., quickly accelerating) courtships, replete with idealization, likely make partners vulnerable to subsequent declines in marital affection-or disillusionment. To test th…

Social Values and Self-Disclosure: A Comparison of Chinese Native, Chinese Resident (in U.S.) and North American Spouses
Guided by the individualism-collectivism model, the present study examined the relationship between cultural values and marital processes among Chinese native, Chinese residents in America, and North American spouses. Respondents completed a questionnaire which assessed individualism, collectivism and self-disclosure. The results were mixed in their support of the model. As expected, we found that (a) Chinese resident wives were more individualis…
What Makes Someone Family? Adult Children's Perceptions of Current and Former Stepparents
This study examined the extent to which adult children perceived current and former, legal or cohabiting, partners of biological parents as family members and parents and determined what factors were associated with these perceptions. Data come from 443 adult children participating in the 1997 wave of the Longitudinal Study of Generations. Hypotheses were developed on the basis of a synthesis of the solidarity-conflict model and the life course p…
A Contextual Model Analysis of Women's Social Competence, Affective Characteristics, and Satisfaction in Premarital Relationships
To test the contextual model (Fincham & Bradbury, 1988), this study examined the associations among social competence factors (e.g., self-disclosure, conflict resolution), affective factors (e.g., optimism, loneliness), and satisfaction in women's premarital relationships. The respondents (n = 108 undergraduate women) completed a questionnaire to assess all variables. Hierarchical multiple regression indicated that social competence factors parti…
Program Evaluation of “Young at Heart: Examining Elderly Volunteers' Generativity
We conducted a program evaluation study of “Young at Heart,” a Texas (United States) program that places elderly volunteers in childcare settings. The main constructs evaluated in this research-based article are Erikson's generativity (a motivation to guide younger generations) and life satisfaction. We compared four groups of elderly persons on these constructs: Young at Heart volunteers, Meals on Wheels volunteers (who deliver food to other eld…
The Influence of Love, Equity, and Alternatives on Commitment in Romantic Relationships
This study investigated the connections between respondents' feelings about their partners (love), evaluations of their relationships (equity), perceptions of relationship alternatives, and commitment to remain in their present relationships. It was predicted that love and equity would be better predictors of commitment than would perceived relationship alternatives. Respondents were 297 university students who reported they were involved in clos…
Grandparent-Adult Grandchild Affection and Consensus: Cross-Generational and Cross-Ethnic Comparisons
Euro-American grandparents' ratings of affection for, and consensus with, their adult grandchildren have been found to be significantly greater than the grandchildren's ratings-a phenomenon known as the 'intergenerational stake phenomenon.' However, it is unclear whether this cross-generational difference in affection and perceived consensus exists for all gender dyads and for more collectivistic ethnic groups. This study compared levels of affec…
Women's Personality Traits, Interpersonal Competence and Affection for Dating Partners: A Test of the Contextual Model
This study utilized the contextual model to examine the relationship between distal (Five- Factor Model of Personality), proximal (interpersonal competence), and affective outcome (love, liking) factors in women's perception of their dating relationships. Respondents ( n =123 females) completed a questionnaire packet to assess each of the factors. Results indicated that women's personality traits made direct and indirect contributions to liking a…
A Longitudinal Analysis of Parental Bonds and Relational Competencies during the College Years
This two-wave longitudinal study spanning the college years examined average change in adolescent-parent bonds, subgroup patterns in change, continuity of bonds, and continuity in the associations between bonds and relational compencies among 247 students attending a large, state-supported southwestern university. Consistent with theoretical approaches emphasizing the enduring nature of family bonds, no average change was found in adolescent-pare…

Parenting and Co‐parenting of Grandchildren: Effects on Grandparents' Well‐being and Family Solidarity
Increasing numbers of grandparents are raising their grandchildren because of problems within the parental generation such as drug and alcohol addiction, AIDS, divorce, and unemployment. Yet little is known about how grandparents who “parent” or “co‐parent” then‐grandchildren differ from other grandparents, or the extent to which parenting or co‐parenting grandchildren affects grandparent's psychological, physical, or financial well‐being, or fee…
