Family still matters: Human social motivation across 42 countries during a global pandemic
Changing identities in Ukraine? Lviv and Donetsk: 1994–2015
Ever since Ukraine gained independence in 1991, there have been reports as to whether its people have become more identified as Ukrainians. This only became more evident with the Orange Revolution in 2004 and again with the events following the Euromaidan in 2013, namely the war with Russia. Is Ukraine more Ukrainian than ever as [...]
Threats and Supports to Female Students’ Math Beliefs and Achievement
This study examines how student perceptions of teacher practices contribute to female high school students' math beliefs and achievement. Guided by the expectancy-value framework, we hypothesized that students' motivation beliefs and achievement outcomes in mathematics are fostered by teachers' emphasis on the relevance of mathematics and constrained by gender-based differential treatment. To examine these questions, structural equation modeling …
Perceptions of parental secure base support in African American adolescents and young adults: A preliminary study of predictive links to adult C-reactive protein
Within the field of relationship science there is increasing interest in the connections between close relationships and physical health. In the present study, we examined whether adolescents' (∼12 years old) and young adults' (∼20 years old) perceptions of their parents as a secure base prospectively predict C-reactive protein (CRP), a commonly used marker of inflammatory activity, at age 32 in a well-characterized sample of African Americans. W…

Developmental histories of perceived racial discrimination and diurnal cortisol profiles in adulthood: A 20-year prospective study
Racial/ethnic socialization and identity development in Black families: The role of parent and youth reports
Racial/ethnic (R/E) socialization is widely practiced in R/E minority families. However, only recently have models been developed to understand how parents' R/E socialization messages influence adolescent development. The primary goal of the present study was to clarify and extend existing work on R/E socialization in African American (Black) families by distinguishing between parent and youth reports of parents' R/E socialization messages and ex…
Perceived Racial Discrimination as a Predictor of Health Behaviors: The Moderating Role of Gender
The ontogeny of career identities in adolescence: The Ontogeny of Career Identities in Adolescence
Exploration and identity formation are primary developmental tasks during adolescence and the transition to adulthood. Yet little is known about occupational identity formation and growth during this period of life. In this chapter, the authors describe their ongoing research on this topic. First, they present their findings on the ontogeny of the complexity of career identities. Then they discuss their findings regarding the relationship between…
Predicting Positive Citizenship from Adolescence to Young Adulthood: The Effects of a Civic Context
Researchers have theorized that programs to promote positive citizenship should begin with an opportunity for adolescents to participate in civic activities, such as community service or political volunteering. In this article we extend the theory by arguing that a more systemic approach is needed, in which a civic context is developed to promote citizenship. We hypothesize that living within a consistent civic context leads to civic engagement i…
Career Development From Adolescence Through Emerging Adulthood: Insights From Information Technology Occupations
Career development theories suggest that social-contextual experiences are influential in individuals' career interests, aspirations, and skill development and may be a source of gender and ethnic differences in certain career fields. In this mixed methods study, we examine the supportive and obstructive career-related experiences of 13 men and 13 women (modal age 25). Interviews focused primarily on the pathway toward or away from an information…
Risk Factors of Sexual Harassment by Peers: A Longitudinal Investigation of African American and European American Adolescents
The present research explores risk factors for, and longitudinal associations of, sexual harassment by peers during adolescence. Eight‐hundred and seventy‐two African American and European American adolescents (65.4% African American, 51.1% females) were assessed during the summer after the eighth grade (mean age=14.2 years) and then again in the 11th grade (mean age=17.1 years). At the first assessment, adolescents were asked about their experie…
Self‐esteem, academic self‐concept, and aggression at school
The present study explores the relation between academic self‐concept, self‐esteem, and aggression at school. Longitudinal data from a racially diverse sample of middle‐school students were analyzed to explore how academic self‐concept influenced the likelihood of aggressing at school and whether high self‐concept exerted a different pattern of influence when threatened. Data include self‐reported academic self‐concept, school‐reported academic p…
Who's computing? Gender and race differences in young adults' decisions to pursue an information technology career
This chapter explores the important social-psychological factors along individuals' developmental pathways that influence youths' computer-related occupational decisions. Findings suggest that these factors differentially influence information technology pursuits dependent on youths' race and gender
Social Identification versus Regionalism in Contemporary Ukraine
Because of the historic separation of western and eastern Ukraine under Polish and Russian spheres of influence, respectively, regional subpopulations have been seen as an important factor in Ukrainian politics. Arel and Wilson argue that the division on the all-important “Russian question” in Ukraine (relations with Russia and with the Russian-speaking minority) is increasingly regional: east and south versus the center and west. Hesli calculate…
Parents' Roles in Shaping Early Adolescents' Occupational Aspirations
Relations among dimensions of parenting and adolescents' occupational aspirations were examined in two specific domains: academics and sports. The sample consisted of 444 seventh graders, with approximately equal numbers of African American and European American males and females, from two-parent nondivorced families. Multiple measures were used as indicators of parents' values and behaviors, youths' values and beliefs, positive identification wi…
Schematic Assessments of Presidential Candidates
This article applies theories of social cognition in an investigation of the dimensions of the assessments of candidates employed by voters in the United States. An empirical description of the public's cognitive representations of presidential candidates, derived from responses to open-ended questions in the American National Election Studies from 1952 to 1984, reveals that perceptions of candidates are generally focused on "personality" charact…
Group Consciousness and Political Participation
This article explores the theoretical and methodological problems underlying the relationship between group consciousness and political participation with data from the Center for Political Studies (CPS) 1972 and 1976 National Election Studies. It delineates four conceptual components of group consciousness and examines their relationships with electoral and nonelectoral participation among both subordinate and dominant social groups. An interact…
