  • A meta-analytic review of cultural variation in affect valuation

    Open AccessJeanne Tsai, Daniel S Chen et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2025

    What affective states do people ideally want to feel and why? In Affect Valuation Theory, Tsai et al. (2006) proposed and observed that (a) how people would ideally like to feel (their "ideal affect") differs from how they actually feel (their "actual affect"), and (b) cultural factors shape people's ideal affect even more than their actual affect. In this individual participant data meta-analysis, we reexamined these two premises in a combined d…

  • Sleep loss and emotion: A systematic review and meta-analysis of over 50 years of experimental research

  • From Africa to the Americas: Ethnicity in the Early Black Communities of the Americas

    Colin A PalmerCHAPTERAtlantic Slave Trade2022

    Any analysis of African cultural continuities in the Americas confronts certain methodological minefields. The first African slaves arrived with Cortés during the military invasion, and by 1640 perhaps as many as a hundred thousand had been enslaved in the colony. This chapter addresses the large question of the degree to which African-born slaves were able to reestablish and maintain ethnic ties and their ethnicity in the slave societies of the …

  • Sleepy and Secluded: Sleep Disturbances are Associated With Connectedness in Early Adolescent Social Networks

    Open AccessColin A Palmer, Cara A Palmer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2021References: 12

    Studies in adults suggest that sleep disturbances predict poorer socioemotional skills and impaired social interactions. However, little is known regarding how sleep disturbances are associated with social processes during adolescence, a period when both sleep neurobiology and social relationships are undergoing dramatic developmental changes. The current study examined associations among sleep disturbances and peer connectedness in a sample of m…

  • Sleep restriction alters children’s positive emotional responses, but effects are moderated by anxiety

    Open AccessCandice A Alfano, Joseph L Bower et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2020

    BACKGROUND: An abundance of cross-sectional research links inadequate sleep with poor emotional health, but experimental studies in children are rare. Further, the impact of sleep loss is not uniform across individuals and pre-existing anxiety might potentiate the effects of poor sleep on children's emotional functioning. METHODS: A sample of 53 children (7-11 years, M = 9.0; 56% female) completed multimodal, assessments in the laboratory when re…

    With its waters connecting the continents of Europe, Africa, North America, and South America, the Atlantic Ocean has facilitated a sustained movement and interaction among the peoples of these disparate lands. This chapter addresses the large question of the degree to which African-born slaves were able to reestablish and maintain ethnic ties and their ethnicity in the slave societies of the Americas. It argues that ethnicity informed spousal ch…

  • Longitudinal associations among adolescents’ organized activity involvement and sociopolitical values

    Open AccessBenjamin Oosterhoff, Kaitlyn A Ferris et al.ARTICLESocial Development2017Cited by: 4References: 16

    Organized activities represent a potentially important context for the development of adolescent sociopolitical values, but few studies have examined longitudinal associations between youths’ sociopolitical values and activity involvement. Adolescents ( N = 299, Time 1 M age = 15.49, SD = .93, 62% female) reported on their organized activity involvement (volunteering, church, sports, arts/music, school and community clubs) and sociopolitical valu…

  • Inward Yearnings: Jamaica's Journey to Nationhood

    Colin A PalmerBOOKInward Yearnings2016

    Inward Yearnings: Jamaica’s Journey to Nationhood is a pioneering case study of an Anglo-Caribbean island’s search for a racial selfhood, its nervous embrace of its African heritage and ultimately a nationalism that reflected those inner longings. These complex and interrelated processes manifested themselves with the founding of the Universal Negro Improvement Association by Marcus Garvey in 1914,the emergence of Rastafarianism and the Back to A…

    Open AccessAmy L Gentzler, Jennifer N Morey et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Early Adolescence2012Cited by: 7References: 10

    This study examined how maximizing and minimizing responses to positive events were associated with sustained positive feelings about the events and adjustment in a community sample of 56 young adolescents (31 boys and 25 girls, 10-14 years of age).
