Meta-analysis of Psychotherapy for Autistic Youth
In order to provide more individualized support, it is imperative to further understand the effectiveness of different types of psychotherapy on the clinical areas of need common in autistic youth (Wood et al. in Behav Ther 46:83-95, 2015). Randomized controlled trials of psychotherapy for autistic youth were included if published in English, included random assignment to treatment or control group, required a previous diagnosis of autism, had a …
Immigration status and adolescents’ voting intention in European countries: The importance of immigrant integration policy context
This article investigates whether policy efforts to integrate immigrants into society can have interpretive effects and motivate adolescents of immigrant origin in European countries to engage in the host country’s political system. We find that countries with more inclusive integration policies tend to have smaller gaps in voting intention between adolescents of immigrant origin and those not of immigrant origin, holding constant an array of ind…

The other Chicago school - a sociological tradition expropriated and erased
Occupying a central place in the creation myth of sociological science is the world's first sociology department at the University of Chicago: a faculty hosting reform-minded men developing theories focused on process and change - especially involving immigrants and other poor urban dwellers. A special concern for these theorists was with investigating, measure and solving social problems of the city. The legend tells that these men relied for da…
Haven an a Heartless Sea: The Sailors’ Tavern in History and Anthropology
Once a fixture on the waterfronts of seaports the world over, taverns providing merchant sailors with lodgings have nearly disappeared today in the wake of technological changes in maritime shipping. Though glimpses of sailors ’ taverns are scattered in bits and pieces throughout works of maritime history and diverse accounts of seafaring life, our knowledge of them is far from complete. In an attempt to furnish a fuller picture of tavern life, t…
Comparing Instructional Models for the Literacy Education of High-Risk First Graders
Comparing instructional models for the literacy education of high-risk first graders THIS TUDY was designed to examine the effectiveness of Reading Recovery as compared to three other instructional models. Treatments included (a) a treatment modeled on Reading Recovery provided by teachers trained in a shortened program, (b) a one-onone skills practice model, and (c) a group treatment taught by trained Reading Recovery teachers. The lowest achiev…
Early vocabulary growth: Relation to language input and gender
This study examines the role of exposure to speech in children's early vocabulary growth. It is generally assumed that individual differences in vocabulary depend, in large part, on variations in learning capacity. However, variations in exposure have not been systematically explored. In this study we characterize vocabulary growth rates for each of 22 children by using data obtained at several time points from 14 to 26 months. We find a substant…
Brain Damage and the Intellectual Defense of Inequality [and Comments and Reply]
Our purpose is to expose the complicity of the human sciences in perpetuating inequality and to make a start toward ending this complicity. The learned debate about the nature of inequality in class and ethnically stratified societies is a spurious controversy. All major positions, ranging from biological determinism associated with conservative ideologies to environmentalism linked with liberal politics, are actually rationalizations for the sta…
