Acculturative stress and coping processes among middle-aged Vietnamese-born American Catholics
Personal Spirituality as a Moderator of the Relationship between Stressors and Subjective Well-Being
The present study examined the impact that a personal, integrated spirituality has on well-being and its role in moderating the effects of stressors (both significant life events and hassles) on well-being among a sample of 120 undergraduates at a private religiously affiliated college. The hypotheses were as follows: First, stressors would have a negative impact on subjective well-being (SWB), which consists of satisfaction with life (SWL) and a…
Prospective Study of Changes in Global Self-Worth and Strain During the Transition to Middle School
An integrative model of the stress process in early adolescence during the transition to middle school was examined in this prospective study. In the model, student role strain (both peer and school work strain) was hypothesized to predict changes in feelings of self-worth, with perceived competence (social and scholastic) and social support (from close friends, parents, and teachers) serving as moderators of the relation. Reciprocal relations al…
Welfare Plastic
Several states have developed electronic benefit transfer (EBT) systems to deliver cash assistance and food stamp benefits. These systems establish electronic account balances which recipients access through the use of a debit card at terminals such as bank automatic teller machines or transaction authorization machines like those that validate credit card charges. We examine the potential effects of such systems on involved stakeholders, includi…

The Effect of Relative Age on Self-Esteem, Role Strain, GPA, and Anxiety
Being older rather than younger than most of one's classmates is presumed to provide benefits to students at least throughout elementary school. The present study investigated this relative age hypothesis among students before and after the transition to middle school with respect to self-esteem, school strain, grade point average (GPA), and anxiety. Partial correlation analyses, with father's education controlled, showed that relative age was as…
Role Strains and the Transition to Middle School
The present longitudinal study responds to a need for new perspectives and research tools for studying school transition stress by identifying changes in student role strains and assessing sex differences in strain changes during the transition from elementary school to a sixth-through eighth-grade middle school Findings, consistent with predictions, include (a) students did not experience more strain in the team-taught middle school program than…
Role Strain in Early Adolescence
Although research on school transitions is growing, researchers continue to lack adequate models and tools for conceptualizing and assessing school transition stress. The present study uses the theoretical framework and research on occupational role strain in adulthood as such a model and suggests that early adolescents experience role strain in the exercise of their roles as students. This role-strain framework was used to create the Early Adole…
The Impact of Volunteer Experience on Adolescent Social Development
The Social and Personal Responsibility Scale was employed in a study of the Youth Volunteers program, involving 44 adolescents in 12 projects, equally divided between child care and community service. Participants showed statistically significant gains on the Social Responsibility subscale. Girls gained more than boys and volunteers in community improvement projects gained more than those in child care. However, as in previous studies, gains were…
Individual Adjustment to School Transitions
Previous research has shown that the transition into junior high school can be difficult for certain subgroups, particularly girls. Recent work has also examined the social support roles played by best friends during the transition and found that high quality friendships can ease the adjustment to the new environment. The present longitudinal study of 410 students in a middle class suburban school district looked at adjustment to junior high scho…
