Promoting Educational Resiliency in Youth with Incarcerated Parents: The Impact of Parental Incarceration, School Characteristics, and Connectedness on School Outcomes
Incarceration in the Household: Academic Outcomes of Adolescents with an Incarcerated Household Member
Evaluating the content and reception of messages from incarcerated parents to their children
In the current study, children's reactions to video messages from their incarcerated parents were evaluated. Previous research has yielded mixed results when it examined the impact of contact between incarcerated parents and their children; one reason for these mixed results may be a lack of attention to the quality of contact. This is the first study to examine the actual content and quality of a remote form of contact in this population. Partic…
Children's contact with their incarcerated parents: Research findings and recommendations.
The influence of religious participation on the adjustment of female inmates
Incarcerated women at a state correctional facility (N = 213) participated in a study of the relationship between stress, adjustment, institutional misconduct, and degree of personal support derived from religious participation. A series of multivariate analyses of variance investigated differences on adjustment indicators between four groups of inmates who differed on their self-reported support from religious activities, while controlling for s…
Contact Between Incarcerated Mothers and Their Children: Assessing Parenting Stress
Incarcerated mothers (n = 357) at a maximum-security prison participated in a study of the relationship between contact and parenting stress, using the parenting stress index for incarcerated women (PSI-IW; Houck & Loper, 2002). The study examined contact before incarceration and the frequency of telephone, letter, and visitation contact during incarceration, as well as stress related to attachment, parental competence, and visitation. Mothers wh…
The relationship of parenting stress to adjustment among mothers in prison
Incarcerated mothers at a maximum security prison (N = 362) participated in a study of the relationship between parenting stress, measured by a modification of the R. R. Abidin (1995) Parenting Stress Index, and adjustment, assessed by the L. Derogatis (1993) Brief Symptom Inventory and institutional records of misconduct. Stress associated with limited contact with children was related to higher levels of anxiety, depression, and somatization. S…
Meta-Attention: The Development of Awareness of the Attentional Process
Meta-attention, or an individual's understanding of the attentional process, was investigated. Recent evidence was reviewed suggesting that maturity would alter an understanding of attention, with young children viewing attention as controlled by external forces, such as distraction or contingent reward, while older children would value internal factors, such as interest level. The question was posed whether, given the assumption of the existence…
A Comparison of Different Statistical Procedures for Determining the Relationship Between Cognitive Tempo and Reading Achievement
The relationship between reading achievement and performance on the Matching Familiar Figures Test was investigated in second-grade boys and girls (N = 37) with use of various statistical procedures recently suggested in the literature. Both latency and accuracy correlated with achievement significantly, although latency appeared to have greater salience than accuracy when correlations were not corrected for attenuation. Salkind and Wright's Impu…
