Do They Feel Heard? A Study of Canadian Secondary School Students’ Voices Around Violent Extremism
This paper examines the perspectives and experiences of Canadian secondary school students on violent extremism.

Measurement of Family Involvement: A Cross-National Study of Managers
This article reports on the development of a cross-culturally validated standardized measure of family involvement. Family involvement is operationalized on the basis of the motivational formulation of involvement and alienation (Kanungo, 1979) and studied in a bi-national setting. Data from heterogeneous samples of 269 Indian and 168 Canadian employees reveal that the eight-item family involvement scale has satisfactory psychometric properties. …
