I Have to Work So Hard to Make Sure I'm Likeable While Getting the Job Done”: Examining the Politically Astute Negotiation of a Gendered Career by High‐Profile Female Sport Broadcasters
Despite a rise in established, high‐profile female sport broadcasters, enduring and significant challenges remain for women pursuing sport broadcasting careers. Climbing the career ladder to high‐status positions requires more than just confidence and technical expertise; it necessitates strategic social skills that help female broadcasters navigate male‐dominated networks, deal with discrimination, generate good impressions, and position themsel…
Effectiveness of the Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative: A community coalition-based planning framework for reducing adolescent alcohol use
Daily Communication Between First-Year College Students and Their Parents: Associations With Perceived Relationship Positivity
First-year college students are at increased risk for anxiety, depression, and high-risk alcohol use relative to older students. Parents often provide support through communication. We examined several aspects of daily parent-student communication, including quantity, mode, initiation, and content (e.g., perceived support, parental advice, topics discussed), between 367 first-year parent-student dyads (across a 7-day period) and tested for differ…

Pedophile, Child Lover, or Minor-Attracted Person? Attitudes Toward Labels Among People Who are Sexually Attracted to Children
The primary label for people who are sexually attracted to children (“pedophile”) is conflated with sexual offending behavior and tainted with stigma. In the present pre-registered mixed-method study, we therefore investigated attitudes and preferences regarding "pedophile/hebephile" and other labels among 286 people who report a stronger or equally strong sexual attraction to prepubescent and pubescent children than to adults. Overall, quantitat…
Qualitative Comparative Analysis: A Mixed-Method Tool for Complex Implementation Questions
Exploring Alcohol Use Motivations in Underage College Students: Contributions of a Person-Centered Analytic Approach
The goal of this article is to illustrate how a person-centered analytic approach can inform our understanding of alcohol use motivations in underage college students and to build off of a related analysis with legal-aged students. Data come from 2,346 students who were under 21 years old and reported using alcohol in the past year in the 2013 Indiana College Substance Use Survey. Latent class analysis identified four underage drinking motivation…
Adaptations in a Community-Based Family Intervention: Replication of Two Coding Schemes
Measuring bias in self-reported data
Response bias shows up in many fields of behavioural and healthcare research where self-reported data are used. We demonstrate how to use stochastic frontier estimation (SFE) to identify response bias and its covariates. In our application to a family intervention, we examine the effects of participant demographics on response bias before and after participation; gender and race/ethnicity are related to magnitude of bias and to changes in bias ac…
A Comparison of Participant and Practitioner Beliefs About Evaluation
The move to build capacity for internal evaluation is a common organizational theme in social service delivery, and in many settings, the evaluator is also the practitioner who delivers the service. The goal of the present study was to extend our limited knowledge of practitioner evaluation. Specifically, the authors examined practitioner concerns about administering pretest and posttest evaluations within the context of a multisite 7-week family…
Implementation quality of a family‐focused preventive intervention in a community‐based dissemination
The aims of this study were to determine (1) the degree to which an evidence-based intervention (EBI) delivered outside the context of a research trial remained faithful to the content and design of the programme as intended and as reported in experimental trials of the same programme, and (2) whether implementation quality affected programme outcomes. We report results of an observational study of 11 sites involved in the statewide dissemination…
Adolescents and Music Media: Toward an Involvement-Mediational Model of Consumption and Self-Concept
Using social cognitive theory and structural regression modeling, we examined pathways between early adolescents' music media consumption, involvement with music media, and 3 domains of self-concept (physical appearance, romantic appeal, and global self-worth; N=124). A mediational model was supported for 2 domains of self-concept. Music media consumption was positively associated with adolescents' involvement with media focusing on music persona…
Detecting Selection Effects in Community Implementations of Family-Based Substance Abuse Prevention Programs
To calculate valid estimates of the costs and benefits of substance abuse prevention programs, selection effects must be identified and corrected. A supplemental comparison sample is typically used for this purpose, but in community-based program implementations, such a sample is often not available. We present an evaluation design and analytic approach that can be used in program evaluations of real-world implementations to identify selection ef…
Institutionalising science‐based practices in children's services
Over the past 30 years, researchers have documented effective, theory‐based programmes and practices that improve the health and well‐being of children. In order to produce measurable improvements in public health, such practices must be institutionalised; however, there are a number of barriers to translating what we know from science to what we do in practice. In the present article, we discuss a number of those barriers, including: cultural di…
Secrecy and Parent-Child Communication During Middle Childhood: Associations with Parental Knowledge and Child Adjustment
Objective. This study examines the reciprocal associations among child secrecy, parent-child communication, parental knowledge of children's activities, and child social adjustment in elementary school children. Design. Third and fourth graders (N = 203) completed questionnaires about secrecy, parent-child communication, and parental knowledge; classroom teachers completed measures of child adjustment. The procedure was repeated one year later. R…
Maternal Protectiveness and Child Adjustment: A Multidimensional Study
SYNOPSIS Objective . The purposes of this study were to identify multiple dimensions of maternal protectiveness and to examine their relations with demographic factors, child characteristics, and children's psychological adjustment. Design . One hundred and seven mothers of 8- to 13-year-old children completed questionnaires on child temperament and maternal protectiveness. Teachers completed questionnaires on children's social-emotional adjustme…
Just three more bites”: An observational analysis of parents’ socialization of children's eating at mealtime
Revisiting the Retrospective Pretest
The purpose of the present study was to examine a common practice in some areas of program evaluation, the retrospective pretest, and to present recommendations regarding its use. The authors review literature to emphasize first, that bias is likely in both prospective and retrospective ratings, and second, that under some circumstances, retrospective pretests may introduce greater bias than traditional pretests. The authors examined data from 10…
