This study investigates how eight children who were between the ages of 5 and 12 when they lost a parent on 9/11 developed a personal narrative abo…

Participants were 289 people of color who identify as bicultural residing in the United States (Mean age = 30.73, SD = 7.31). The study utilized a cross-sectional design. A path analysis was conducted…

Ethical and Methodological Issues Resulting from Recording Lapses in Qualitative Research
Technological difficulties, such as recording lapses and dropped calls, during interviews for qualitative research lead to important ethical and methodological considerations. Using case examples from our own experiences with recording lapses, we walk through some of the questions to consider, including relational ethics and how changes in the data affect the validity of our findings. We argue that how ethical and methodological issues raised by …

Complementary and Alternative Therapies
The term complementary and alternative therapy (CAM) describes an array of treatments that serve as an adjunct to standard medicine practices but also serve as systems of intervention on their own. Many of these approaches promote a holistic view of medicine, positing that psychological or emotional experiences have an interactive relationship with physical experiences, and a growing body of research supports this link (see Astin, Shapiro, Eisenb…
