Murray Levine (1928–2020)
Memorializes Murray Levine (1928-2020), a pioneer in community psychology. In 1968 Levine became professor of psychology and director of the clinical and community psychology program at State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY Buffalo), soon making it one of the top programs in the country. At Buffalo, he shaped community psychology through nu merous books and articles and by mentoring many doctoral-level students and junior faculty. His res…
Case Analyses for Abnormal Psychology
Gainful Employment Reduces Stigma Toward People Recovering from Schizophrenia
A Behavior Setting Assessment for community programs and residences
Interpersonal reactions to a depressed, schizotypal, or normal individual
Alternative views of behavior settings
The methods used and the meanings attached to phenomena in the social sciences are never investigator-free, and our grasp of the methods and objects of scientific study is extended through critical debate. To illustrate, this rejoinder defends several alternative interpretations regarding important aspects of Barker and Schoggen's behavior setting theory. For example, the incommensurateness of person and environment is most usefully understood as…
Behavior setting theory and community psychology
Although Barker's “behavior setting theory” (Barker, 1968; Price, 1976) is widely cited for its potential applications to community psychology, critical examination of this conception reveals significant limitations in its operational definition of “community” and in the extent to which predictions regarding direct influences on behavior have been validated in natural settings. From the perspective of community psychology there is also reason to …
Bayesian inference from qualitative and quantitative data in program evaluation
Current practice in program evaluation relies strongly on quantitative measurement and classical (sampling-theory) statistical inference, methods that invariably fail to use all of the relevant information available to the evaluator. The use of Bayesian methods to combine inferences from quantitative and nonquantitative data is described and illustrated. The reporting of results based on multiple distributions that express contrasting assessments…
Dimensional analysis of behavior setting demands in a community residence for chronically mentally ill women
Care of chronic psychiatric clients in community settings is a priority issue in mental health, and current thinking proposes an interactional model encompassing both individual skills and environmental demands to explain clients' adjustment to community life. Although functional skills of chronic clients are readily measurable, we lack systematic and precise methods for describing and evaluating community settings in commensurate terms. The pres…
Genuine versus Simulated Responses on the Impact of Event Scale
Construct validity established for the Impact of Event Scale does not include evidence that the scale can distinguish genuine responses from simulated ones, an important requirement for cognitively “transparent” measures subject to systematic distortion by demand characteristics of the test situation. Comparison scores from 35 students coping with recent parental death and 30 randomly selected students instructed to respond as though they recentl…
Program maturity and cost analysis in the evaluation of primary prevention programs
Primary prevention has been growing as a major initiative in mental health, and to avoid overpromising its benefits, primary prevention programs must be evaluated in a systematic and effective fashion. Information on the developmental maturity and the direct costs of a program is very useful in assessing its merit, even if definitive findings on incidence reduction are not available for many years. This paper outlines the steps by which informati…
Individual differences and task structure in the performance of a behavior setting
Barker's theory of “undermanning” has attracted interest for its potential applications to a variety of problems in community psychology, although to date little attention has been given to mediating factors such as individual differences and the organizational structure of the setting task. The present study crossed two levels each of manning, task structure, and manipulated “competence” over 56 independent replications of a laboratory-based beh…
