Barreras y Soluciones: Lessons learned from integrating research‐based clinical techniques into a community agency serving low‐income Latinx immigrant families
Barriers facing effective science‐to‐practice translation have led scholars to conduct early‐stage intervention research within community organizations. We describe our experiences developing a manualized parent–youth attachment‐based group therapy intervention within a community health organization dedicated to serving low‐income Latinx immigrant families, Latino Health Access (LHA), in which services are rendered by trained community workers (p…
Examining Interpersonal Traumas Across Low Income Latinx Mother-Youth Dyads: Associations Between Maternal Child Abuse Exposure and Racial Discrimination with Mother and Youth Psychopathology
Child abuse has intergenerational consequences for psychopathology, however, there remains a paucity of research regarding how these experiences affect Latinx families, particularly those at risk for additional negative life events, such as racial discrimination. This study aims to contribute to this gap in the literature by examining the impact maternal child abuse exposure has on youth and maternal psychopathology, as well as whether these asso…
Más Fuertes Juntos: Attachment relationship quality, but not demographic risk, predicts psychopathology in Latinx mother‐youth dyads
Latinx families are increasing in the population in the United States and have documented mental health concerns. Much remains to be understood about mental health predictors within this population. The present study aimed to help fill this gap and offer an in-depth assessment of psychopathology within a large (N = 330) sample of Latinx mothers and youth by exploring associations between sociodemographic risk, attachment relationship quality, and…
How Can We Improve School Safety Research
The authors of this article consider how education researchers can improve school violence and school safety research by (a) examining gaps in theoretical, conceptual, and basic research on the phenomena of school violence; (b) reviewing key issues in the design and evaluation of evidence-based practices to prevent school violence; and (c) suggesting new directions for a translational science agenda that can inform policy and practice. The author…
Normative Influences on Aggression in Urban Elementary School Classrooms
We report a study aimed at understanding the effects of classroom normative influences on individual aggressive behavior, using samples of 614 and 427 urban elementary school children. Participants were assessed with measures of aggressive behavior and normative beliefs about aggression. We tested hypotheses related to the effects of personal normative beliefs, descriptive classroom norms (the central tendency of classmates' aggressive behavior),…
Adolescent judgments of the personal, prudential, and normative aspects of drug usage
Group-administered questionnaires were used to examine the social judgments of 139 9th- and 12th-grade students regarding drug usage. Subjects of both grades tended to view drug use as a matter of personal discretion or prudence rather than an issue of morality or social convention. High-drug-use subjects were more likely than low-drug-use subjects to view drug use as a personal rather than prudential issue and to view the behavior as less harmfu…
