The Cellular Construction Workshop
This paper presents the design and rationale of a novel workshop model that integrates high school teacher professional learning with out-of-school STEM learning experiences for students from racially and ethnically minoritized backgrounds. Grounded in a conceptual framework that combines situated learning theory, research-based principles of effective professional development, and culturally inclusive and responsive pedagogy, the workshop engage…
Mental health of college sex workers
This study explored the impact of developmental and recent traumas on PTSD, anxiety, and depression among a sample of university students ( N = 410), including students who engaged in sex work during college. Using linear and hierarchical regressions, the study examined whether gender-based violence and potentially exploitative activities in college, specifically sexual assault (SA), sex work, sex trafficking, and intimate partner violence (IPV) …
Financial literacy and community development
Reconstructing a critical framework of care in teacher education
Being well together
In the expanding field of human-animal interaction (HAI) research, studies examining the relationship between pet ownership and human health and wellbeing have struggled with inconsistent and inconclusive findings around whether interacting with a pet has a positive, negative, or even a significant impact. These inconsistencies have driven efforts to interrogate methodological approaches and strengthen scientific rigor in HAI research, aiming to …
Co-Learning
Our paper presents a case for co-learning, a novel hybridization of teacher professional learning and student out-of-school learning wherein students and teachers collaborate and learn together. The benefits of collaborative learning are well documented in the literature; however, a co-learning approach to engaging teachers and students in integrated STEM activities is unexplored. This qualitative study was designed to unpack the co-learning expe…
Unpacking vaping in schools
Objectives: In early 2021, Western Sydney school principals expressed heightened concern about rising e-cigarette usage among high school students. This prompted us to assess knowledge, attitudes and perceptions surrounding adolescent vaping in students, school staff and parents, and their preferred strategies to effectively communicate prevention messages. Design: Exploratory qualitative study. Setting: Participants included students (aged 12–16…
Cultural Socialization and Civic Engagement Among Racially Diverse Students of Color
Understanding the factors that promote civic engagement among emerging adult college students is crucial, especially considering its association with positive youth development. The current study examined ethnic-racial identity (ERI) exploration, resolution, and affirmation as mediators of the relation between cultural socialization and civic engagement. Additionally, the extent to which students were raised in predominantly minoritized neighborh…
Social dominance orientation, belief in a just world and intergroup contact as predictors of homeless stigmatisation
The purpose of this study was to explore individual and situational predictors of homeless stigmatization. The aim was to test if individual differences in Belief in a Just World (BJW) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) moderate the effect of quantity and quality of contact on stigmatization of the homeless. One hundred and eighty-seven participants completed measures of BJW, SDO, quality, and quantity of contact, as well as a measure of home…
How do preschool to year 6 educators prevent and cope with occupational violence from students
Student violence directed at school educators appears to be increasing, thus it is important to identify practical strategies that educators use to prevent and cope with occupational violence. This observational study surveyed 369 government primary school staff in the Australian Capital Territory. Sixty per cent of respondents reported abusive language, 42% physical aggression, and 43% experienced other threatening behaviour from students at lea…
Risk, Protective, and Associated Factors of Anxiety and Depressive Symptoms and Campus Health Services Utilization Among Black Men on a College Campus
Moderating Role of Healthcare Disruptions on Friend and Family Pandemic-Related Negative Life Events Predicting Latines’ Anxiety and Alcohol Use Over Time
Coffee and energy drink use patterns in college freshmen
The response pattern was ubiquitous, with ED + Co most likely, Co intermediate, and NoCE least likely to endorse a broad range of substance use, problem alcohol behaviors, and familial risk factors. The finding that the Co group differed from both the ED + Co and NoCE groups on 8 measures and from the NoCE group on one additional measure underscores the importance of looking at coffee in addition to EDs when considering associations between caffe…
Racial Discrimination and Alcohol Problems
Whatever it Takes”
Research suggests powerful resource dependencies are present in the public and nonprofit sectors. The individuals operating at the nexus between organizations and resource providers, and who mitigate dependencies, are referred to as boundary spanners. Research suggests that there may be both positive and negative personal repercussions for boundary spanners, but research has not sufficiently examined these unintended consequences through a gender…
Assessing Organizational Role and Perceptions of Programmatic Success in Policy Implementation
This study utilizes the Strategic Action Field (SAF) framework as a lens to study implementation effectiveness of Ohio START, a multiactor and multilevel implementation process. We examine the extent to which perceptions of successes and challenges vary across organizational roles in county-level child welfare agencies during Ohio START implementation. Preliminary findings reveal that perceptions of implementation effectiveness differ based on or…
State and Local Policies and Sectoral Labor Standards
The US enterprise-based collective bargaining regime creates substantial limitations for organizing workers in an economy in which supply chains are increasingly disaggregated in ways that reduce worker power. Federal labor law generally preempts state and local policies that directly address private-sector bargaining. State and local governments, however, are not preempted from setting general labor standards. The authors examine four cases of r…
Improving Access to Early Childhood Developmental Surveillance for Children from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (Cald) Background”
Integration supported vulnerable families from CALD backgrounds to access developmental surveillance through child and family health services but required flexibility and adjustments by all involved
Ethnic Entrepreneurship Without Ethnicity
Over the past two decades, Latinos have been making their way to new destinations in the US South, Midwest, and Intermountain West. Although most are flocking to jobs in agriculture and manufacturing, a number are starting businesses. To better understand Latino entrepreneurs in these new destinations, we present a case study of northern Utah, where the Latino population has skyrocketed in recent decades. Findings from surveys and interviews with…
Exploring the role of humor in the management of existential anxiety
The current study addressed a topic that has both theoretical and applied importance, by examining the potential existential anxiety-buffering function of humor. Participants (N = 556; 55% female; M age = 37 years) completed a measure of trait coping humor before being randomly assigned to a mortality salience condition and a humor induction condition and then completing a measure of death-thought accessibility. ANOVA revealed main effects of tra…
The emergence of the quantified child
Using document analysis, this paper examines the historical emergence of the quantified child, revealing how the collection and use of data has become normalized through legitimizing discourses. First, following in the traditions of Foucault's genealogy and studies examining the sociology of numbers, this paper traces the evolution of data collection in a range of significant education policy documents. Second, a word count analysis was used to f…
Predictors of Love Attitudes
The aim of this research was to explore whether a model including psychological predictors at the individual, interpersonal and cultural level could predict romantic attitudes. Attachment style, cultural orientation, gender, and relationship length were tested as predictors for each of the six love styles conceptualized by Lee (1977). Adults from Britain (N = 56) and Hong Kong (N = 52) who were in a romantic relationship completed four self-repor…
Prospect Theory, Discrete Emotions, and Freedom Threats
Consistent with earlier research supporting the use of narratives to increase message persuasiveness, this study examined the role of guilt and happiness following exposure to organ donation narratives presented in professionally produced radio ads. As hypothesized, the loss-frame narrative was significantly associated with heightened guilt, which was related to greater freedom threat perceptions and psychological reactance. Conversely, the loss-…
The relationship between investigative interviewing experience and open-ended question usage
We present three studies examining the role of prior job experience in interviewing and interviewers' ability to learn open-ended questions during a training program. We predicted a negative relationship such that more experienced interviewers would perform worse after training than less experienced interviewers, and that (irrespective of baseline performance) the more experienced interviewers would improve the least during training. These predic…
Counting Feminicide
Legal Protections and Advocacy for Contingent or 'Casual' Workers in the United States
Nibbling on the margins of patriarchy
Although many scholars point to the importance of gender in structuring the immigrant experience, many immigrant women themselves do not attribute much importance to the role that gender plays in their lives. To explore this issue further, we investigate how thirty-two foreign-born Latinas define their experiences in Utah, a new immigrant destination that has received little empirical attention. The women in our sample indicated five major challe…
Creating Neighborhood Identity Through Citizen Activism
While the importance of the neighborhood as a nexus of social life has declined in recent decades, the neighborhood itself has achieved new distinction as the territorial basis for a growing citizen activism movement. In the absence of any competing consensus, neighborhood activists assume a certain measure of power to define what the neighborhood and its interests are, and may take an active role in manipulating the neighborhood's identity in or…

Marriage and Family Enrichment
Marriage and family enrichment is the new professional area in the applied family field along with family life education and counseling. Its distinction is the limitation to groups of normal married couples and families in informal settings using experiential methods. Goals, standards, and guidelines for programs and certfication of leaders delineated from a review of programs across the United States supported this conclusion. A major recommenda…

Self-Other Orientation and Sex-Roles Orientation of Men and Women Who Remarry
Remarried men and women were more oriented to a balance between self interests and the other's interest in the remarriage decision than in the first marriage decision. In-depth interviews showed that these men and women used a similar balance when making the remarriage decision but that they arrived there by different avenues. The balance came from the women beginning to include self interests more and the men beginning to include the other's int…

Aspects of Love
Two studies are reported which explore romance as a means of terror management for participants with secure and insecure attachment styles. Mikulincer and Florian (2000) have shown that while mortality salience increases the desire for intimacy in securely attached individuals, the insecurely attached use cultural world views rather than close relationships to cope with fear of death. Study 1 used the romantic belief scale to compare the effects …

Applying Community-Based Participatory Research to Better Understand and Improve Kinship Care Practices
While the principles behind community-based participatory research are firmly established, the process of taking community-based participatory research with children and youth to scale and integrating it into the programming of non-governmental organizations has been scarcely documented. This article reflects on the experiences of Save the Children in implementing a multicountry community-based participatory research program to increase understan…
