The Impact of Education Abroad Participation on College Student Success Among First-Generation Students
This study utilized the large-scale, multi-institutional CASSIE dataset to examine the impact of education abroad participation on academic outcomes for first-generation college students. Using robust multivariate matching methodology that effectively minimized self-selection bias, results showed the magnitude of benefit offered by studying abroad was greater for first-generation students than for continuing-generation students. Even after matchi…
Assessment as Pedagogy in a Compressed-Format Summer Physics Abroad Program
This paper examines the impact of assessment and instructional practices in a compressed-format physics abroad program for life science students from a large U.S. university system. Using qualitative case study methodology, the study investigated the major pedagogical functions of assessments and their implications on student learning across three international sites. Findings from interviews, focus groups, and survey responses of international p…

Direct and Indirect Longitudinal Effects of Parental Involvement on Student Achievement
The present study on the influence of parental involvement on students' academic achievement overcame limitations in current research by including simultaneous considerations of multidimensional, longitudinal, mediational, and ethnic factors. Results indicated (a) significant ethnic differences in the direct effects of parental involvement on academic achievement; (b) consistent indirect effects, mediated by student educational aspiration, across…
Assortative mating in unwed birth parents, adoptive, and nonadoptive parents
Correlation between parents for a given characteristic substantively affects estimates of both genetic and environmental parameters. Spouse similarity for biological, adoptive, and nonadoptive parents was examined in a study using a full‐adoption design. With regard to isophormic comparisons, moderate assortment was found for age, educational attainment, performance on tests of verbal ability, family background, and habits such as alcohol and cur…
Developmental stability of the relative influence of genes and environment on specific cognitive abilities during childhood
Selective placement in adoption
Selective placement is the process of matching adoptive parents to adopted children with respect to particular characteristics. Previous studies of selective placement have been limited with respect to the variables examined as well as sources of information. The present study examined both physical and behavioral data on 206 “first” adoptions, including information on birth fathers and birth mothers, their parents, infant adoptees, and adoptive …
