School climate tolerant of sexual harassment is indirectly related to academic disengagement through peer sexual harassment and feeling safe in high school girls
Although illegal, sexual harassment is endemic in US schools, with students perceiving that school officials ignore complaints of harassment. Research findings have linked school climate tolerant of sexual harassment to peer sexual harassment (PSH) and school outcomes, yet there is a need to better understand these relationships. This cross‐sectional study examined whether there was an indirect effect of school climate tolerant of sexual harassme…
Transportation vulnerability as a barrier to service utilization for HIV-positive individuals
Research suggests that transportation vulnerability can negatively impact adherence to HIV-related medical treatment. Moreover, transportation can be a barrier to accessing ancillary services which can increase positive health outcomes for HIV-positive individuals. This study examines transportation vulnerability and its impact on HIV-related health and ancillary service utilization in the Mid-South Region. Focus groups and interviews were conduc…

The study compares the effects associated with sexual orientation components (sexual identity, sexual attraction, and sexual behavior in the past three months) on rates of reported mental illness and risky sexual behavior in a representative sample of men at high risk for HIV/AIDS. Important differences between populations of individuals who responded consistently and inconsistently across sexual orientation components were observed, and effects …

Demographic, Psychological, and Relationship Factors in Domestic Violence During Pregnancy in a Sample of Low-Income Women of Color
Research suggests that a significant number of women first experience domestic violence during pregnancy. The current study examines correlates of violence during pregnancy, first by comparing women who did and did not report violence, and second examining three subgroups of women who reported violence (violence initiated, violence persisted, violence ceased). Results indicated that controlling for demographics, more frequent violence was associa…
Sources of HIV-prevention Information for Individuals at High Risk
Most methods examined were effective means of communicating prevention messages. As multifaceted approaches to intervention allow for more comprehensive dissemination, interventions can be tailored to the targeted risk group by using sources shown most effective for each group
Pubertal Development and Parent-Child Conflict in Low-Income, Urban, African American Adolescents
This research examines associations between pubertal development and parent-adolescent conflict in a sample of 302 urban, low-income, African American adolescents and their parents. Findings revealed that pubertal development was associated with parent-child conflict and that the pattern of results was different for boys and girls. Specifically, parents reported using more verbal aggression with sons during midpuberty than early or late puberty a…
Ethnicity and Social Support During Pregnancy
Data from two multi‐ethnic prospective studies of African American, Latina, and non‐Hispanic White pregnant women were used to examine the influence of contextual factors on social support processes during pregnancy. Multiple types of support (perceived support, received support, support satisfaction, network support) and sources of support (baby's father, family, friends) were assessed. The role of ethnicity in social support was examined after …
Perceived Power and Physical Violence in Marital Conflict
Relations among perceived marital power, the demand/withdraw interaction pattern, and self‐reports of the use of verbal aggression and physical violence were examined in a sample of 42 married couples. Couples completed several self‐report questionnaires and discussed two areas of marital dissatisfaction, one identified by the wife and one identified by the husband. These interactions were rated for the use of the demand/withdraw interaction patt…
Social influence techniques during marital conflict
The use of social influence techniques was examined in two studies of marital conflict. In each study, couples discussed two issues in counterbalanced order: one in which the husband wanted change and one in which the wife wanted change. Interactions were coded for the use of influence techniques. Evidence from both studies supported a social role explanation, such that roles based on who wanted change predicted the use of influence, whereas gend…
Establishing the social impact of individuation
The present research examined relations between individuation, the willingness to publicly differentiate oneself from others, and three dimensions that may lead to high social impact: creativity, leadership, and nonverbal expressiveness. Study 1 describes the development of a Q-sort prototype of the high individuator. In Study 2 the prototype was used to construct a new measure of individuation; individuation showed predicted relations with creat…

The Use of Power and Influence in a Gendered World
A review is presented of empirical research on the effects of gender and power on the use of influence strategies in interpersonal relationships. Several variables are considered, including gender, power, status, relationship of agent to target, and the goal of the influence attempt. Although gender appears to account for some of the findings, power and status are more critical variables in choice of power strategies. Because gender is inextricab…
Power Strategies in Interpersonal Relationships: The Effects of Expertise and Gender
The present study was designed to examine the effects of both power and gender in the use of influence strategies. Women and men responded to three scenarios in which they interacted with an imagined partner in situations with different levels of interpersonal power: more power than their partner (expert), less power (novice), and the same amount of power (equivalent). Partners were either same sex or other sex. Participants used more direct stra…
