Assessing academic impairment in college students with disabilities: A new measure to promote evidence-based accommodation granting
College students with disabilities may be entitled to academic accommodations such as additional time on exams, testing in a separate setting, or assistance with note-taking. To receive accommodations, students must request services from their college and show that they experience substantial limitations in academic functioning. Without norm-referenced data, it is difficult for college disability support professionals to determine if students’ se…
Insurgency, Counter-insurgency and Policing in Centre-West Mexico, 1926-1929: Fighting Cristeros
In Insurgency, Counter-insurgency and Policing in Centre-West Mexico, 1926–1929, Mark Lawrence attempts to discern what led communities in Mexico to join the pro-Catholic uprising of the mid-1920s known as the Cristero Rebellion, to oppose it, or to remain neutral. The book focuses on greater Zacatecas—an area that, here, extends beyond the state into Durango and parts of Jalisco. Lawrence thus adds to the rich Cristero historiography, the scope …
Are separate room test accommodations effective for college students with disabilities
College students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or learning disabilities are frequently allowed to complete examinations in a separate, distraction-reduced setting. Although separate room test accommodations are believed to provide students with equal access to testing and thereby improve performance, little experimental research has examined their effects on actual test scores. We randomly assigned college students to c…
For Christ and Country: Militant Catholic Youth in Post-Revolutionary Mexico
From Reforma to Revolution Catholic partisans and revolutionary anticlericalists alike traced their struggle to La Reforma, a series of laws enacted by the governing liberals in the mid-1800s that restricted the scope of the Catholic Church. Conservatives responded with a war that they lost. Half a century later, La Reforma remained Mexico's "original sin" that attacked the nation's bond with God. 1 The failure to rescind the laws weighed on Cath…
Local Church, Global Church: Catholic Activism in Latin America from "Rerum Novarum" to Vatican II
As a universal religion, Catholicism is inherently transnational. Yet beliefs and practices also arise from regional histories. This volume seeks to apprehend this dual quality with chapters that examine how Catholic activists addressed local and national problems by drawing on theological tenets and church networks. Substituting nuance for simplifying dichotomies and surprisingly durable caricatures, Local Church, Global Church moves forward the…
Pious Delinquents: Anticlericalism and Crime in Postrevolutionary Mexico
As Agent 15 of the Mexico City judicial police made his way home for lunch on a day early in December 1926, he saw a balloon floating in the breeze. He rushed to the rooftop observatorio of his apartment building, where he spotted a girl around 14 years old, wearing a lilac-colored dress, standing on a nearby roof and holding a string. Certain that the balloon had been released from this location, he ran down the stairs, and, while crossing the s…
Mexican Exodus: Emigrants, Exiles, and Refugees of the Cristero War
Scores of Mexicans fled to the United States from the violence of the Cristero Rebellion, in which Catholic partisans combated anticlerical reforms enacted by the government of Plutarco Elías Calles in the late 1920s. Their flight abroad and subsequent activism—smuggling arms, distributing propaganda, and working to consolidate opposition—gave the rebellion a transnational dimension overlooked in the local-level studies of the conflict. Julia You…
The Revolution on Trial: Assassination, Christianity, and the Rule of Law in 1920s Mexico
The 1928 trial of José de León Toral, assassin of Mexican caudillo Álvaro Obregón, afforded President Plutarco Elías Calles the opportunity to show domestic and international audiences that the revolution had yielded a nation of laws predicated on spiritual principles. Summary executions of Catholics had allowed detractors and even sympathetic observers to question the depth of civic values in Mexico. The article shows how authorities deliberatel…

Immigrant Entrepreneurs, Bread, and Class Negotiation in Postrevolutionary Mexico City
Spanish bakery owners in Mexico City acted as middlemen in the postrevolutionary regime's food and labor policies, despite their association with colonialism and the Porfirian order. Lacking leverage to control unilaterally bread production and the combative bakery workforce, the state relied on the mostly Basque owners to keep the city fed and worker radicalism in check. In exchange, officials broke strikes and later, when the bakers'union and o…

Communities of Care and Caring: The Case of MSWatch.com(R)
Can a health-care website stimulate its members to become a `community of care and caring', facilitating both medical `information' and personal `support'? This study of MSWatch.com provides conceptual distinctions about `ties' to a `community' and raises questions about communications designed to serve patients with Multiple Sclerosis. An online survey of members of the website shows that members tend to: (1) make use of both its health-care inf…
Information processing in everyday life: Emotion-congruent bias in mothers' reports of parent-child interactions
The authors examined the role of emotions in mothers' perceptions of the parent-child relationship. Ninety-nine mothers completed a measure of trait affect and then interacted with their preschool children under low- and high-stress conditions. After each interaction session, mothers rated their mood states and positive and negative aspects of parent-child behavior. To control for differences in the quality of dyadic interaction, observers also r…
Parenting Dimensionality and Typology in a Disadvantaged, African American Sample: A Cultural Variance Perspective
Although parenting dimensionality and typology have been extensively examined with middle-class Caucasian samples, the parenting styles of low-income, African American mothers have been underexamined. This study focused on the parenting cognitions of single, adolescent, African American mothers from disadvantaged communities. Three parenting dimensions emerged from maternal reports: warmth, control, and anger. Parents were classified into four ca…
