  • Jews for Sale?

    Andrea H Beller, John W Graham et al.BOOKJews for Sale?2017

    The world has recently learned of Oskar Schindler's efforts to save the lives of Jewish workers in his factory in Poland by bribing Nazi officials. Not as well known, however, are many other equally dramatic attempts to negotiate with the Nazis for the release of Jews in exchange for money, goods, or political benefits. In this riveting book, a leading Holocaust scholar examines these attempts, describing the cast of characters, the motives of th…

  • Parent Prevention Communication Profiles and Adolescent Substance Use: A Latent Profile Analysis and Growth Curve Model

    Hye Jeong Choi, Michelle Miller-Day et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Communication2017Cited by: 2References: 9

    This current study identifies distinct parent prevention communication profiles and examines whether youth with different parental communication profiles have varying substance use trajectories over time. Eleven schools in two rural school districts in the Midwestern United States were selected, and 784 students were surveyed at three time points from the beginning of 7th grade to the end of 8th grade. A series of latent profile analyses were per…

  • Perceived Parental Control, Restructuring Ability, and Leisure Motivation: A Cross-Cultural Comparison

    Hui Xie, Hui “Jimmy” Xie et al.ARTICLELeisure Sciences2017Cited by: 3References: 65

    Leisure is viewed worldwide as an important developmental context for adolescents. As leisure research and programs are shared across nations, it is crucial to examine the cultural equivalence of leisure-related constructs and how they are related. Grounded in self-determination theory, this study explored the influence of perceived parental control and leisure restructuring ability on leisure motivation (amotivation and autonomous motivation) us…

  • Whose Man in Havana?: Adventures from the Far Side of Diplomacy

    John W Graham, J A GrahamBOOKWhose Man in Havana?2015

    In Whose Man in Havana? the author offers an unconventional, often dark, but more often hilarious view of diplomacy in settings as varied as Haiti, London, the Dominican Republic, the Balkans, Palestine, Paraguay, Guyana, and Kyrgyzstan, including covert monitoring of Soviet military operations in Cuba on behalf of the CIA with the blessing of President Kennedy and Prime Minister Pearson. In a career that spans the Canadian foreign service and in…

  • Teacher Narratives and Student Engagement: Testing Narrative Engagement Theory in Drug Prevention Education

    Open AccessMichelle Miller-Day, Michael L Hecht et al.ARTICLEJournal of Language and Social…2015Cited by: 1References: 19

    Testing narrative engagement theory, this study examines student engagement and teachers' spontaneous narratives told in a narrative-based drug prevention curriculum. The study describes the extent to which teachers share their own narratives in a narrative-based curriculum, identifies dominant narrative elements, forms and functions, and assesses the relationships among teacher narratives, overall lesson narrative quality, and student engagement…

  • Unpacking the Effect of Parental Monitoring on Early Adolescent Problem Behavior: Mediation by Parental Knowledge and Moderation by Parent–Youth Warmth

    Open AccessMelissa A Lippold, Mark T Greenberg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2014Cited by: 16References: 31

    This study explores the monitoring process longitudinally among a sample of rural early adolescents and addresses two research questions: (a) Does maternal knowledge mediate the relationship between three aspects of the parental monitoring process and adolescent problem behavior: active parent monitoring efforts, youth disclosure, and parental supervision? (b) Are these meditational pathways moderated by the affective quality of the parent-child …

  • Adapting School‐Based Substance Use Prevention Curriculum Through Cultural Grounding: A Review and Exemplar of Adaptation Processes for Rural Schools

    Open AccessMargaret Colby, Michael L Hecht et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Community…2013

    A central challenge facing twenty‐first century community‐based researchers and prevention scientists is curriculum adaptation processes. While early prevention efforts sought to develop effective programs, taking programs to scale implies that they will be adapted, especially as programs are implemented with populations other than those with whom they were developed or tested. The principle of cultural grounding, which argues that health message…

  • Linking Life Skills and Norms With Adolescent Substance Use and Delinquency in South Africa

    Open AccessMary H Lai, John W Graham et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2013Cited by: 3References: 3

    We examined factors targeted in two popular prevention approaches with adolescent drug use and delinquency in South Africa. We hypothesized adolescent life skills to be inversely related, and perceived norms to be directly related to later drug use and delinquency. Multiple regression and a relative weights approach were conducted for each outcome using a sample of 714 South African adolescents ages 15 to 19 years ( M = 15.8 years, 57% female). P…

  • Describing Teacher–Student Interactions: A Qualitative Assessment of Teacher Implementation of the 7th Grade keepin’ it Real Substance Use Intervention

    Open AccessJonathan Pettigrew, Michelle Miller-Day et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Community…2013Cited by: 3References: 45

    Variations in the delivery of school‐based substance use prevention curricula affect students’ acquisition of the lesson content and program outcomes. Although adaptation is sometimes viewed as a lack of fidelity, it is unclear what types of variations actually occur in the classroom. This observational study investigated teacher and student behaviors during implementation of a middle school‐based drug prevention curriculum in 25 schools across t…

  • Methods for Handling Missing Data

    Open AccessJohn W Graham, J A Graham et al.OTHERHandbook of Psychology, Second…2012

    The field of missing data analysis has evolved quickly; outdated strategies have been replaced by missing data procedures that make use of partial data to provide unbiased and efficient parameter estimates. Here, we describe an eight-step process for performing basic missing data procedures (single and multiple imputation) using NORM (Version 2.03; Schafer, 1997) and SAS (Version 9.2; SAS, 2011a). We make use of the automation utility, MIAutomate…

  • Missing Data Analysis: Making It Work in the Real World

    John W Graham, J A GrahamARTICLEAnnual Review of Psychology2009

    This review presents a practical summary of the missing data literature, including a sketch of missing data theory and descriptions of normal-model multiple imputation (MI) and maximum likelihood methods. Practical missing data analysis issues are discussed, most notably the inclusion of auxiliary variables for improving power and reducing bias. Solutions are given for missing data challenges such as handling longitudinal, categorical, and cluste…

  • How Many Imputations are Really Needed? Some Practical Clarifications of Multiple Imputation Theory

    Open AccessJohn W Graham, J A Graham et al.ARTICLEPrevention Science2007

  • Planned missing data designs in psychological research.

    John W Graham, J A Graham et al.ARTICLEPsychological Methods2006

    The authors describe 2 efficiency (planned missing data) designs for measurement: the 3-form design and the 2-method measurement design. The 3-form design, a kind of matrix sampling, allows researchers to leverage limited resources to collect data for 33% more survey questions than can be answered by any 1 respondent. Power tables for estimating correlation effects illustrate the benefit of this design. The 2-method measurement design involves a …

  • Adding Missing-Data-Relevant Variables to Fiml-Based Structural Equation Models

    John W Graham, J A GrahamARTICLEStructural Equation Modeling: A…2003

    Conventional wisdom in missing data research dictates adding variables to the missing data model when those variables are predictive of (a) missingness and (b) the variables containing missingness. However, it has recently been shown that adding variables that are correlated with variables containing missingness, whether or not they are related to missingness, can substantially improve estimation (bias and efficiency). Including large numbers of …

  • Methods for Handling Missing Data

    John W Graham, J A Graham et al.OTHERHandbook of Psychology2003

    This chapter describes a general approach to handling missing data in psychological research. It provides a theoretical background in readable, nontechnical fashion. Our overall goal was to give practical, usable advice, rather than to give a detailed statistical treatment of issues surrounding analysis of incomplete data. We give an overview of the older, unacceptable methods for handling incomplete data, so that readers will know what approache…

  • Missing data: Our view of the state of the art.

    Joseph L Schafer, John W Graham et al.ARTICLEPsychological Methods2002

    Statistical procedures for missing data have vastly improved, yet misconception and unsound practice still abound. The authors frame the missing-data problem, review methods, offer advice, and raise issues that remain unresolved. They clear up common misunderstandings regarding the missing at random (MAR) concept. They summarize the evidence against older procedures and, with few exceptions, discourage their use. They present, in both technical a…

  • Exploring the effects of age of alcohol use initiation and psychosocial risk factors on subsequent alcohol misuse.

    J David Hawkins, J W Graham et al.ARTICLEJournal of Studies on Alcohol and…1997

    OBJECTIVE: This study examines whether the age of initiation of alcohol use mediates the effects of other variables that predict alcohol misuse among adolescents and also whether the age of initiation of alcohol use accounts for known gender differences in the severity of alcohol misuse. METHOD: Data were taken from an ethnically diverse sample of 808 (412 male) students who were recruited in grade 5 at age 10-11 and followed prospectively on an …

  • Maximizing the Usefulness of Data Obtained with Planned Missing Value Patterns: An Application of Maximum Likelihood Procedures

    John W Graham, J A Graham et al.ARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research1996

    Researchers often face a dilemma: Should they collect little data and emphasize quality, or much data at the expense of quality? The utility of the 3-form design coupled with maximum likelihood methods for estimation of missing values was evaluated. In 3-form design surveys, four sets of items. X, A, B, and C are administered: Each third of the subjects receives X and one combination of two other item sets - AB, BC, or AC. Variances and covarianc…

  • Changes in the Relationship Between Child Support Payments and Educational Attainment of Offspring, 1979–1988

    Open AccessPedro M Hernandez, Andrea H Beller et al.ARTICLEDemography1995Cited by: 1References: 12

    We examine changes over the 1980s in the effect of child support payments on the educational attainment of children age 16 to 19 in the United States, and why child support has a stronger impact than other sources of income. We use 1979 and 1988 Current Population Survey data, covering a period when improvements in enforcement should have increased the proportion of reluctant fathers paying support. We hypothesize and find that the positive effec…

  • Crossvalidation of Latent Class Models of Early Substance Use Onset

    Linda M Collins, John W Graham et al.ARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research1994

    Cudeck and Browne (1983) were among the first to discuss the advantages of taking a crossvalidation approach to testing of covariance structure models. The purpose of this paper is to expand on Cudeck and Browne's work in two directions. The first direction of expansion is into testing of latent class models. The second direction of expansion involves using crossvalidation to examine differences between groups, where groups may be formed by gende…
