Maternal Intervention Strategies in Enforcing Children's Bicycle Helmet Use
We investigated maternal methods of enforcing helmet usage in children. Although the American Academy of Pediatrics recently called for stronger parenting strategies to increase bicycle-helmet use, there has been virtually no study of typical parenting strategies to influence children to wear their helmets. In the present study, mothers of second- and eighth-grade children responded to 12 vignettes portraying typical excuses children give for not…
Integrating child injury and abuse-neglect research
Research on injuries, the leading health threat to children in the United States, has been infrequent and badly fragmented. Research on unintentional injuries and research on abuse-neglect have similar histories, including recent rapprochement with behavioral interventions, and reveal similar etiologies for child injury. Further, recent studies document difficulties in discriminating between unintentional and abuse-neglect-related injuries. The a…
Complacency, misdirection, and effective prevention of children's injuries
Complacency, misdirection, and effective prevention of children's injuries
Injuries are the leading killer of children in the United States, yet most parents, communities, and legislatures remain uncommitted to effective injury prevention. Possible reasons for this complacency are described, and effective methods, likely targets, and useful tactics for prevention are reviewed. The greatest challenges to injury preventionists are to persuade those who remain uninformed concerning the importance of injury prevention, to r…
Community interventions in children's injury prevention
Three studies focused upon implementation issues in children's injury prevention programs. Study One used a small group design to examine the parent as a cost-effective safety skills instructor and to assess the possibility of crossproblem generalization of training. The results suggested that with hourlong instruction sessions, volunteer parents who received once-weekly professional instruction could effectively teach their children home safety …
Process Analysis of Injury Situations
Process analysis, as described in this article, is a behavioral, fine‐grained, specific, prospective method of examining both injury and near‐injury situations. By analyzing the antecedents, stages of response, and consequences of injury‐risk situations, process analysis may improve scientists' conceptualization of injury situations. It can also provide additional methods of evaluating ongoing intervention strategies and suggest new, more appropr…
The Supersuit
A structured, naturalistic observational method of eliciting helping utilized a “superperson suit” which needed to be fastened by a day-carecenter classroom peer. This method produced a high number of opportunities to help, spontaneous offers of help, and recipient-prompted help. There was little evidence of peer reinforced help or reciprocal help. Although the low n (four girls and seven boys) prohibited definitive conclusions, it appeared that …
Influence of age, task competence, and responsibility focus on children's altruism
