A cafeteria-based tasting program increased liking of fruits and vegetables by lower, middle and upper elementary school-age children
Barriers to the implementation of continuity-of-care practices in child care centers
The Family Daily Hassles Inventory
This study investigated the preliminary reliability and validity of a new family daily hassles assessment using two well‐established instruments that measure daily hassles and health status. Participants (140 mothers) completed a self‐administered survey. The results indicated adequate reliability of the new assessment and supported the concurrent and construct validity of the scores obtained with the new assessment as a measure of daily hassles
An Exploratory Study of the Relationships between Family Functioning and Parenting Styles
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between family functioning and parenting styles. Data were collected in 1996 from 151 mothers of first‐ or third‐grade children using established self‐report assessments. Based on the findings, the researchers concluded that balanced family types were positively related to authoritative parenting and negatively related to authoritarian parenting
Focus Group Discussions
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the usefulness of focus group discussions (FGDs) in family and consumer sciences research. First, we briefly describe theFGDmethodology in terms of question development, group composition and recruitment, interview protocol and logistics, and data analysis. Then, we show how we applied that methodology in three specific examples from our work with family and consumer sciences research projects. Our ex…
Examining Proximal Processes in Young Children's Home Environments
Beginning with phenomena measured by the elementary version of the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME) (Bradley & Caldwell, 1984), the authors identified three empirically derived proximal processes in young school children's home settings: maturity facilitation, the child's use of available stimulating materials, and the parent‐child emotional relationship. The authors argued for the coherence of Bronfenbrenner's concept o…
Memory-strategy learning and maintenance in preschool children
This study examined preschool children's abilities to maintain the use of a newly learned organization study-recall strategy in tasks administered immediately after training and 3 and 7 days after training. Thirty-six 4- and 5-year-olds were assigned to training and control conditions after performing study-recall tasks in a baseline session. Training included demonstration and practice in using the strategy, encouragement to apply the strategy i…
