Not Just Me Anymore.' A Qualitative Study of Transitioning to Marriage after Cohabitation
Premarital cohabitation could influence the transition to marriage by cultivating the belief that getting married will have little effect on a relationship that has already taken root through cohabitation.

College Students' Attribution of Blame in Father–Daughter Incest
Incest is one of the most repugnant things that can occur. If the educational programs have been effective, it would appear that individuals would not blame the victim. The Jackson Incest Blame Scale was administered to students in marriage and family classes at a midwestern university. Female students strongly supported the concept that women being treated as sex objects and sex and violence in the media influence offenders to commit incest. Dis…
A Process for Assessing Standards‐Based Curriculum: Lessons Learned From a High School Interpersonal Relationships Curriculum Assessment
Standards‐based curricula and assessment are common—and somewhat controversial—educational practices that aim to improve education through teacher and/or administrator accountability. The processes of developing and implementing standards‐based assessments require significant planning and effort. When part of the process is to use an existing test bank, the numbers and types of test items available in the test bank and whether they equally repres…
