Level of Burden
Utilizing an expanded concept of level of burden, the impact of multiple problems experienced by women in a residential drug abuse treatment program on treatment retention and outcomes is investigated. Level of burden is defined in this study as the number and severity of problems, including psychological problems, cognitive impairment, chronic health problems, HIV/AIDS status, as well as substance abuse. In the first study of 260 women, the abil…
Psychological Functioning and Substance Abuse Before andAfter the 1992 LosAngeles Riot in a Community Sample ofWODlent
An ongoing study of interventions designed to increase nontraditional social supports among women at high risk for HIV infection was in the field during the 1992 Los Angeles riot in those neighborhoods most affected by the urban unrest. Using data from structured interviews, the psychosocial characteristics, drug abuse patterns, and distress levels among the women who were recruited for the project in the six months before and after the riot were…
Comparability of Traditional and Computer Western Personnel Test (WPT) Versions
Alternate versions of the Western Personnel Test (WPT; Gunn and Manson, 1962) were administered via computer and in the standard paper and pencil format. There were no mean differences in the number of items correct over the two versions of the test. Additionally, computer Form A and standard Form B were correlated as highly as standard Form A and computer Form B or standard Form A and standard Form B. The evidence suggests that the computer and …
Confirmatory hierarchical factor analyses of psychological distress measures
Depression and Physical Illness
Carol S. Aneshensel, Ralph R. Frerichs, George J. Huba, Depression and Physical Illness: A Multiwave, Nonrecursive Causal Model, Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Vol. 25, No. 4 (Dec., 1984), pp. 350-371
On the usefulness of latent variable causal modeling in testing theories of naturally occurring events (including adolescent drug use)
This paper considers the arguments raised by Martin (1982) against the methodologies used by Huba, Wingard, and Bentler (1981) and their subsequent conclusions. Several of Martin's criticisms are the result of a misreading of our paper and selective citations, whereas other criticisms were discussed in the original paper and resolved through alternate forms of data analysis. Further analyses are presented to address issues raised by Martin. Marti…
Development Of Scales For Three Second-Order Factors Of Inner Experience
Short 15 item scales are developed to measure three second-order factors found within the domain of inner experience, daydreaming, and fantasy encompassed by the Imaginal Processes Inventory. Scales are presented for Positive-Constructive Daydreaming, Guilt-Fear of Failure Daydreaming, and Poor Attentional Control. The measures are derived from a sequential factor analytic, discriminant/convergent validity process guided by accumulated theoretica…
Drugs, Daydreaming, and Personality
Originally published in 1980, this book presents a detailed account of a series of investigations that examined the patterns of resort to drugs and alcohol use in college youth, and how such substance uses are linked to personality characteristics and daydreaming patterns. The Editors chose to emphasize the more private features of the personality, because these had often been ignored in earlier research, despite popular assumptions that there ar…
A Multidimensional Assessment of Stressful Life Events among Adolescents
Michael D. Newcomb, George J. Huba, Peter M. Bentler, A Multidimensional Assessment of Stressful Life Events among Adolescents: Derivation and Correlates, Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Vol. 22, No. 4 (Dec., 1981), pp. 400-415
Longitudinal Analysis Of The Role Of Peer Support, Adult Models, And Peer Subcultures In Beginning Adolescent Substance Use
A confirmatory, longitudinal design was used with a setwise partial canonical correlation methodology to determine whether indicators of a deviant adolescent peer culture contain information about the subsequent drug use beyond that which may be obtained from knowledge of present drug use and perceived sources of supply and support. Peer culture measures did not increase prediction over a one year period. Adolescent drug use was quite stable over…
