A many-analysts approach to the relation between religiosity and well-being
The relation between religiosity and well-being is one of the most researched topics in the psychology of religion, yet the directionality and robustness of the effect remains debated. Here, we adopted a many-analysts approach to assess the robustness of this relation based on a new cross-cultural dataset (N=10,535 participants from 24 countries). We recruited 120 analysis teams to investigate (1) whether religious people self-report higher well-…
Oldsters and Ngrams
Google Books Ngram Viewer searches over five million books published between 1800 and 2000 and plots trends in word usage. With this tool, the frequencies of literary references to younger and older adults were assessed across time. Young and old women were shown to be underrepresented in the literature for the past 200 years. In addition, the usage of different terms and adjectives to describe older adults were tracked and found to change across…
Validation of the T-SAT-R-2
This article reports on the validation of the Training Seminar Assessment Tool-Revised-Second Edition (T-SAT-R-2) instrument designed to measure participants’ satisfaction with training seminars and workshops. It was developed from an earlier version, the Training Seminar Assessment Tool-Revised (T-SAT-R), which was distributed following child welfare and social service staff development training sessions. Using confirmatory factor analysis with …
Promoting Intergenerational Interaction through Collaborative Learning
Gerontology programs often provide opportunities for students to interact with older adults. It is typical for students to visit a nursing home or volunteer at a senior care facility, for example
Child welfare workers' perceptions of the value of social work education
The Role of Intact Family Childhood on Women's Earnings Capacity
This article examines the complexities of working with an evidence-based model to design intervention strategies benefiting individuals and families. It addresses the question, to what extent should the evidence of economic advantage for female children raised in two-parent families influence social work support for practices and policies that encourage marriage? The article reviews current research findings indicating benefits of two-parent fami…
Participatory Research for Rape Survivor Groups
This article proposes a model for rape survivor groups that encompasses the participatory research model in the context of feminist ideology and strategies. The use of a participatory research model for rape survivor groups can be expected both to heal and to produce evidence of the recovery process. In this model, groups design a protocol for writing and disseminating their personal stories of overcoming the trauma of rape. The conceptualization…
The Impact of 9/11 on Older Chinese and Hispanic Immigrants in New York City
Older Chinese and Hispanic immigrants (mostly Dominican) reacted to 9/11 in distinct, culture bound ways, which helped them cope with this traumatic event. This paper compares the two groups in terms of how they reacted and coped with 9/11, how cultural factors influenced their responses, and discusses implications for social work education, policy and practice. For the Chinese, cultural values associated with social connections played an importa…
Stigma and Schizophrenia
The persistence of stigma related to schizophrenia is addressed as a continuing challenge for social work students working in mental health. Student education is best grounded in direct clinical work with clients in conjunction with field supervision and classroom education. Through direct practice in individual and group sessions, students learn to help clients recognize and cope with stigma so that the potentially negative effects can be lessen…
Prozac and crime
Prozac has been cited in more medication defense criminal cases in the United States than has any other psychotropic drug. In the majority of these cases, defendants are arguing that they are the victims of the drug. Defendants assert that they are victimized by their own involuntary intoxication or that of witnesses and crime victims who have been adversely influenced by Prozac. This article reviews 12 criminal cases in the United States in whic…
Social Service Needs of Hispanic Immigrants
Large numbers of poor Hispanic immigrants have come to the U.S. in recent years with many social service needs. This qualitative, pilot study of Hispanic immigrants in the Washington Heights community in New York City identifies their perceived needs and barriers for accessing services. Seven face-to-face interviews with community-based professionals and four focus group interviews with thirty Hispanic immigrants provide the data. Both groups of …
Encoding in Anticipation of Immediate or Delayed Testing
The major purpose of the present study was to determine whether subjects differentially encode in anticipation of immediate or delayed testing. In two experiments, subjects were instructed to study a list of words for a memory test to be given either immediately after stimulus presentation or after a two-day delay. We found that incidental learning of instructions was more easily modified by the learning instructions than was the intentional lear…
Sentence Recall as Affected by Task Instructions and Delay
The present experiment was designed to investigate the effects of orienting tasks on sentence recall. Three task conditions were included, a phonemic-task, a semantic-task, and a “no-orienting-task” control group. Both immediate and delayed recall were tested. As predicted, subjects in the semantic condition performed significantly better than those given phonemic instructions. On immediate recall, the performance of control subjects was similar …
