Pragmatic and Internal Validity Issues in Sampling in Caregiver Studies
Regardless of sampling frame, standard task-based inclusion criteria to define caregivers may enhance validity
Race, Finding Meaning, and Caregiver Distress
This study investigated the relationship between race, finding meaning (as a positive psychological resource variable), and the outcomes of caregiver depression and global role strain among 77 African American and 138 White spouse caregivers of persons with dementia. Finding provisional meaning had a direct negative relationship with depression and global role strain. Although African American caregivers were less likely to report depression and …

The Effect of Caregiver's Burden on Change in Frail Older Persons' Use of Formal Helpers
We used a national longitudinal probability sample of frail older persons and their caregivers to examine three questions: 1) What are the probabilities of transition to use of formal helpers over a two-year period? 2) What is the role of predisposing, enabling, older person's need, and caregiver's need variables in changes in the use of formal helpers? 3) Do determinants of change in the use of formal helpers vary by level of caregiver's burden?…

Women Sociologists in the Midwest
In this article, an earlier study of the status of academic women sociologists in the Midwest that was extended to 1984–1985 is discussed.

Midwest Sociological Society (MSS) leadership positions and participation in the annual MSS meeting served as indicators of professional participati…

The assumption of child abuse and neglect reporting laws is that the welfare protective system will respond to reports with appropriate investigation and delivery of services. Previous research has revealed, however, that actions taken depend largely on the functions of the designated agency receiving the initial report. Police-investigated reports result in higher placement rates than those investigated by child welfare agencies. A common explan…
