Perceptions of Relationships with Kinship Caregivers Among Parents Following State-Detected Psychoactive Substance Use
“I was a soccer mom—high or not”
Examining the Impact of Covid-19 on Parental Stress
The Emotional Toll of Juggling Families
Longitudinal relations among child care stability during the prekindergarten year and behavior problems
Experiences of Trauma-Informed Care in a Family Drug Treatment Court
Social service fields have been revolutionized by the recognition of widespread exposure to trauma and its harmful consequences for the populations they serve. Organizations have responded by adopting trauma-informed care (TIC) practices. To date, most research on TIC has been conducted with providers, not clients. We build on existing research by studying the experiences of clients in a cross-system family drug treatment court (FDTC) that implem…
Parental monitoring by foster parents, youth behaviours and the youth–foster parent relationship
Youth in foster care overwhelmingly display heightened risks for both internalizing and externalizing behaviours. Few studies document how and under what conditions foster parents effectively respond to child behaviours. The overarching purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between foster parents' parental monitoring, youth behaviours and foster parent–youth relationship. This study utilized secondary data from National Survey of…
An exploration of placement-related psychosocial influences on school engagement among adolescents in foster care

Students' school engagement is widely regarded as critical for positive school adjustment and overall academic success. Foster youth persistently face poorer educational outcomes than peers and demonstrate lower levels of school engagement and higher levels of academically threatening behaviors. The goals of the present study were (a) to explore relationships amongst various child‐level correlates of school engagement and problem behaviors—namely…
Out of Work and Out of Luck? Layoffs, System Justification, and Hiring Decisions for People Who Have Been Laid Off
Are hiring decisions affected by knowledge that a job applicant was previously laid off? We expected decisional biases to be linked with the motivational tendency to believe that society is fair and outcomes are just and deserved (hereafter, system justifying beliefs [SJBs]). Indeed, hiring decisions were more likely to disadvantage a laid off applicant as SJBs increased both when detailed job application information was reviewed for one laid off…
