Predictors of Stress in First-Generation College Students
A multiple regression analysis was performed to determine if self-esteem, social support, locus of control, or coping strategies could predict perceived stress in first-generation college students. All variables studied were found to predict stress, while self-esteem and emotional-support seeking coping added statistical significance to the prediction, p < 0.05. Results can be used to improve the college experience of first-generation college stu…
Consistency of Findings Produced by Two Multidisciplinary Research Teams
This article examines the consistency of research findings between two multidisciplinary research groups, which conducted independent analyses of interviews with 63 middle school students about their beliefs related to violence. The question addressed by this methodological study was: Is the consensus process so robust that it transcends disciplines (i.e. individuals from different disciplines inter-acting in multidisciplinary teams) to produce c…
Body measurement variability, fatness, and fat-free mass in children 8, 11, and 14 years of age
Project HeartBeat! is a four year mixed-longitudinal study of the development of cardiovascular risk factors in White and African American children who at baseline comprised three age cohorts 8, 11, and 14 years. This paper focuses on the anthropometric variables which were chosen to reflect body fat and fat-free mass. Selected anthropometric dimensions are compared with those of samples from the combined National Health and Nutrition Examination…
