Service‐user experiences of an integrated psychological intervention for depression or anxiety and tobacco smoking in improving access to psychological therapies services
INTRODUCTION: High smoking prevalence leads to increased morbidity and mortality in individuals with depression/anxiety. Integrated interventions targeting both smoking and mood have been found to be more effective than those targeting smoking alone, but the mechanisms of change of these interventions have not been investigated. This qualitative study aimed to understand participants' experiences of the mechanisms underlying change in smoking beh…
The influence of individual, peer, and family factors on the educational aspirations of adolescents in rural China
Educational aspirations are an important predictor of academic outcomes. While there has been considerable research on educational aspirations in the West, there has been little research in East Asia, and the investigation of factors influencing adolescent aspirations has been neglected, particularly in rural areas. Drawing on ecological systems theory and social cognitive career theory, this study investigated the associations between educationa…

Teachers' perceptions of the school functioning of Chinese preschool children with callous-unemotional traits and disruptive behaviors
This qualitative study investigated teachers’ views on differences in children with disruptive behavior and high versus low levels of callous-unemotional (CU) traits in response to classroom management strategies, instructional methods, and teacher-child and teacher-caregiver relationship quality. Twenty teachers from three Chinese preschools were interviewed about 40 children with disruptive behavior (aged 4–6 years). Teachers perceived children…
The Influence of Antisocial Behavior and Callous-Unemotional Traits on Trajectories of School Engagement and Achievement in South-Korean Children
Poor educational outcomes are common among children with antisocial behavior problems, including among a subgroup of antisocial children with callous-unemotional traits, who show deficits in empathy, guilt, and prosociality. However, few studies have explored the unique contributions of antisocial behavior and callous-unemotional traits to school outcomes and most prior studies have been conducted in Western countries. The current study thus test…
To what extent does punishment insensitivity explain the relationship between callous‐unemotional traits and academic performance in secondary school students
BACKGROUND: Callous-unemotional (CU) traits are related to low achievement but not to deficits in verbal ability, commonly regarded as a major risk factor for poor academic outcomes in antisocial youth. This suggests that CU traits may have utility in explaining heterogeneous risk pathways for poor school performance in antisocial children. Reduced sensitivity to teacher discipline has been suggested as a potential explanation for the association…
Callous-Unemotional Traits Among Children and Adolescents in Asian Cultures
Considerable evidence now exists for callous and unemotional (CU) traits as markers for a high-risk pathway to child and adolescent conduct problems implicating unique risk processes and treatment needs, but research has been limited largely to Western countries. We review the evidence base related to CU traits in Asian countries that has emerged in recent years, with respect to four key questions. Specifically, are higher CU traits among Asian c…
Assessing the Measurement Invariance of the Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits in School Students in China and the United Kingdom
The current study investigated the measurement invariance of the Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits in school-attending youth in the UK (N = 437) and China (N = 364). The original 24-item ICU and five shortened versions proposed in previous studies were tested and compared using confirmatory factor analysis in the UK sample. Results indicated that the original ICU was a poor fit in the UK sample. A shortened, 11-item version (ICU-11) featuri…

Utopia and Dissent in West Germany
For the force of their convictions that they could remake society in revolutionary ways, activists of the 1960s have continued to pique the curiosity of scholars. Their unexpected optimism invites us to question its origins. Their radicalism invites us to analyse their methods. And after many of their efforts fizzled out unspectacularly, those collapses invite us to investigate their legacies. The 50th anniversary of 1968 prompted a wave of renew…
A Systematic Review of Risk and Protective Factors for Externalizing Problems in Children Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health issue with innumerable costs to the victims, children, and families affected as well as society at large. The evidence is conclusive regarding a strong association between exposure to IPV and children’s externalizing problems. Moving forward, the next step is to enhance our understanding of risk and protective factors associated with these outcomes in order to tailor treatments to meet th…
National Commemoration in an Age of Transnationalism
Against the 1989–1990 Ending Myth
This article aims to temper the fetishization of the events of 1989–1990. It explores how the historical framing of the Federal Republic transforms when 1989–1990 becomes peripheral, and argues that the force of 1989–1990 as a mythic ending relies on two interpretive paradigms: on a temporal sensibility based on a belief in the progressive development of politics and society, and on a conception of identity and difference understood in terms of a…
Mehr als eine Erzählung
On the surface, this edited volume functions as a Festschrift for Axel Schildt, published on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday. But, it is no mere panegyric. Its contributors reflect on the challenges of narrating the history of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and use as their point of departure Schildt’s 1999 article ‘Five Possibilities for Narrating the History of the Federal Republic (Fünf Möglichkeiten, die Geschichte der Bundesr…
Divided Subjects, Invisible Borders
The irony of German reunification, for Ben Gook, was that it worked against its own intentions. Official commitment to German unity following the events of 1989/90, in fact, curtailed opportunities for former East and West Germans to work through their differences in meaningful ways. Against narratives that regard 1989/90 as an ending of an era of division, Gook’s study emphasizes that these years marked, at most, the end of only one kind of divi…
