Development and validation of the Nurturing Parenting Beliefs and Behaviors Scale (NPBBS)
Despite growing interest in supporting caregivers' use of nurturing care globally, few parenting measures have been validated for use outside of Minority World contexts. This study aims to develop, describe, and provide validity evidence for an efficient, culturally relevant instrument to measure local nurturing parenting beliefs and behaviors regarding responsive caregiving and early learning within a sample of caregivers of 2- to 5-year-olds in…
A Short Parent-Reported Attachment Relationship Questionnaire
Secure attachment relationships provide the foundation for lifelong emotional resilience and social flourishing. However, measuring attachment with observational methods is challenging at scale in low-resource settings. Caregiver-report questionnaires offer a feasible alternative but remain underutilized and insufficiently validated for Majority World contexts. This study aimed to address this gap by culturally adapting and validating the Attachm…
Prevalence of depression in a large regionally representative population sample in Côte d’Ivoire
The results presented here suggest that the depression burden in rural Côte d'Ivoire is moderate, with a particularly high burden among women and elderly individuals. Mental health services are needed to specifically support this population
Reentry of Incarcerated Juveniles
All incarcerated juveniles have to receive correctional education, but little is known about how these school experiences influence reentry. With longitudinal data of 569 incarcerated juveniles (91% male) from the Pathways to Desistance Project, this study tested how motivational (teacher bonding, school orientation, time spent on homework) and performance (grades) aspects of schooling were related to desistance for youth returning from juvenile …
Community violence exposure, family management practices, and substance use in youth
Associations between community violence exposure, family management practices, and substance use were compared in a sample of early adolescents in low-income communities from the United States ( N = 151; M age = 12.71 years, standard deviation = 0.65; 50.3% female) and South Africa ( N = 175; M age = 12.55 years, standard deviation = 0.85; 64.6% female) using home interviews with youth and their maternal caregivers. Past year victimization was as…
The Relationship between Trauma, Arrest, and Incarceration History among Black Americans
Prior research indicates an association between exposure to trauma (e.g., being victimized) and perpetration of crime, especially in the context of chronic victimization. This study examines the relationship between trauma exposure, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and history of arrest and incarceration among a representative sample of black Americans from the National Survey of American Life (N = 5,189). One-third had a history of arrest, …
Cause That’s the Only Skills in School You Need”
Revenge goals are correlated with maladjustment, and retaliation is a factor driving youth violence. However, revenge might be an important social tool adolescents use to achieve (self-)justice in environments where institutionalized interventions from authorities such as teachers or police are limited. This qualitative secondary analysis of 50 revenge scenarios from a larger study ( N = 358 youth-caregiver dyads) expands one-dimensional knowledg…
