Advancing Suicide Prevention Research With Rural American Indian and Alaska Native Populations
As part of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention’s American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) Task Force, a multidisciplinary group of AI/AN suicide research experts convened to outline pressing issues related to this subfield of suicidology. Suicide disproportionately affects Indigenous peoples, and remote Indigenous communities can offer vital and unique insights with relevance to other rural and marginalized groups. Outcomes from …
On Being Indigenous: An Essay on the Hermeneutics of ‘Cultural Identity
The range of cultural resources distributed along developmental pathways open to young persons as they frame the outlines of their own identities is not fixed, but inevitably varies across historical moments. The young lives most touched by such transitional circumstances arguably belong to those that find themselves growing up in times of dramatic cultural change - the lives, for example, of refugee and immigrant children, and especially of thos…

The Development of Dynamic System Reasoning
This article concerns abilities that allow young persons to grasp essential features of open or ‘negentropic’ systems and relates these abilities to success and failure on measures of concrete and formal operational thought. Attention is focused first on the ability of 96 subjects between the ages of 8 and 18 to comprehend the feedback and emergent features characteristic of dynamic systems and, second, on the relations between these developing c…

Jekyll and Hyde and Me: Age-Graded Differences in Conceptions of Self-Unity
This research details the changing ways in which young people of different ages differently warrant the conviction that, notwithstanding evidence of good and bad behaviours, selves can be understood as unified across the various roles and contexts that they occupy. Canadian adolescents and young adults were asked to explain the apparent disunity of self implied by good and bad behaviours manifested by the fictional character Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hy…
Too Late the Misanthrope
The Othello Effect
The purpose of this essay is to explicate a developmental course along which young persons commonly are led to question their own standards of belief entitlement. Utilizing as a source model a counterpart sequence of traditional philosophic concerns, a train of increasingly disabling uncertainties is described that, once set in motion, routinely carries such adolescent epistemologists through familiar stations of objectivism, dogmatism, and nasce…
Relativism and the Problem of Epistemological Loneliness
A commentary on the sense of isolation and estrangement which commonly accompanies the relativism ushered in by the emergence of formal operational thought, and a detailing of several regressive strategies frequently employed by adolescents in their efforts to accommodate to this plurality of solitudes. It is suggested that the stereotypy, cliquishness and press toward conformity common among adolescents, as well as the penchant for abstraction a…

Aboriginal language knowledge and youth suicide
Colloquy on a Community of Minds
Surviving Time: The Persistence of Identity in This Culture and That
This account is all about how young persons of different cultural stripes work to keep their identities in good repair. Rank-and-file Euro-American adolescents are shown to be steeped in a standard brew of essentialist thought. By contrast, 'First Nations' youth commonly adopt a more narrative approach to the problem by weaving together the various threads of their lives into some culturally available fabric. Beyond exploring the relation between…
Cultural Continuity as a Hedge against Suicide in Canada's First Nations
This research report examines self-continuity and its role as a protective factor against suicide. First, we review the notions of personal and cultural continuity and their relevance to understanding suicide among First Nations youth. The central theoretical idea developed here is that, because it is constitutive of what it means to have or be a self to somehow count oneself as continuous in time, anyone whose identity is undermined by radical p…

The child's demystification of psychological defense mechanisms: A structural and developmental analysis
This study sought to explore possible relationships between the cognitive developmental level of 10 preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational children and their success in interpreting each of eight commonly described mechanisms of psychological defense. Based upon a formal analysis of the logical transformations inherent in various defensive strategies, three distinct families of defense were identified, each characterized by …
