  • Fishing for father relationships: Motivations, successes, and barriers to participating in a community-based program

    Open AccessJordan A Arellanes, Kyle Miller et al.ARTICLECommunity Work & Family2026References: 10

    Fathers who participate in community programs experience a range of positive outcomes, including improved relationships with their children. However, many community programs struggle to gain fathers’ attendance at local events. To counteract this, we utilized Community-Based Action Research in collaboration with local and state agencies to develop a father-specific community program that capitalized on the traditionally masculine parenting activi…

  • Cultivating a Collectivist Community on a College Campus for Latinx Students

    Open AccessJordan A Arellanes, Michael Hendricks et al.ARTICLEJournal of Latinos and Education2024References: 15

    Do inclusion, diversity, equity, and access (IDEA) courses geared toward Latinx students help create a collectivist community on a college campus? We argue that courses incorporating IDEA initiatives into their curriculum and focusing on Latinx individuals provide students the face, place, and space to create the cultural wealth required for educational success. The academic intervention described in this study focused on supporting the Latinx co…

  • A Mixed Methods Investigation into Latino Fathers’ Roles in Their Children’s Educational Expectations

    Open AccessJordan A Arellanes, K W Miller et al.ARTICLEJournal of Latinos and Education2024References: 13

    Latino fathers make meaningful contributions toward their children’s educational expectations. Cultural factors and structural barriers may shape unique parenting roles for Latino fathers and their influence on their children’s educational expectations. To explore the culturally nuanced roles of Latino fathers, we conducted a convergent mixed-methods study with 244 emerging adults to gain their perceptions of their fathers’ parenting roles and ho…

  • Discussing one’s fan interests with others can satisfy or threaten psychological needs

    Eric D Wesselmann, Matthew Hesson-Mcinnis et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Fandom Studies2022

    Many individuals consider themselves a fan of something (e.g. music, sports) and discuss these interests with others. However, these interactions may be risky: a positive interaction could make someone feel socially connected and valued by others, whereas a negative interaction may prompt feelings of exclusion. Thus, these interactions could impact one’s basic psychological needs (e.g. belonging, self-esteem) depending upon the specific conversat…

  • The Intersection of First-Generation Latino Fathers’ Work, Cultural Values, and Communication in Their Children’s Educational Attainment

    Jordan A Arellanes, Kimberly A Greder et al.ARTICLEJournal of Latinos and Education2022Cited by: 1References: 13

    This study contributes to the literature on understanding complexities related to educational disparities among Latino families. The roles of first-generation Latino fathers in their children’s education are often mischaracterized within the schools. Utilizing role theory, our study details how Latino fathers’ work, cultural values, and communication are key to understanding their involvement in their children’s education. Seventeen first-generat…

  • Manipulating Environmental Commitment: A Replication and Extension

    Open AccessEric D Wesselmann, Shane W Boyd et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2021

    Environmental commitment, the subjective experience of dependence on the natural environment, is marked by a long-term orientation and psychological attachment towards the natural environment. The current research replicates and extends previous research on temporarily increasing environmental commitment (Davis et al., 2009). We employed Davis et al.'s manipulation in two experimental studies (one laboratory, one online): we asked participants to…

  • Bettering the educational attainment for Latino families: How families view the education of their children

    Jordan A Arellanes, Ruben P Viramontez Anguaino et al.ARTICLEJournal of Latinos and Education2018References: 10

    The immigrant Latino population of North Central Indiana has hopes of improving youth’s academics, but must overcome tremendous obstacles to do so. The current study addresses the needs of immigrant Latino families while transitioning to the United States. Sixty-three participants were interviewed in association with a three-year ethnographic study. Findings suggest access for Latino parents to the education system is affected by community factor…
