Co-rumination Goals Among Emerging Adult Women in the US Coping With Sexual Trauma
Sexual violence (SV) victimization is a common occurrence for women and severely impacts mental health, making effective coping essential. Co-rumination with friends is one way SV survivors cope, yet their specific goals for repeatedly discussing their trauma remain unexplored. This study, guided by the transactional theory of stress and coping, analyzed open-ended responses from 100 college women (ages 18-25) who experienced attempted or complet…
Family dynamics in the context of elder family financial exploitation: Application of qualitative genogram analysis
Item response theory and computer adaptive testing of the sexual knowledge scale of the sexual knowledge and attitude test in a college sample
Our study addresses the limited availability of well-validated scales for assessing general sexual knowledge among college populations. To fill this gap, we examined the psychometric properties of a 41-item sexual knowledge scale derived from the Sexual Knowledge and Attitudes Test – Adolescents (SKAT-A) in a sample of young adults aged 18–25 (N = 1,291). We employed classical test theory (CTT) procedures, followed by item response theory (IRT) a…
Learning About Sex from Different Sources: Implications for Sexual Attitudes, Sexual Knowledge, and Risky Sexual Behavior Among U.S. College Students
It’s Almost Boring When It Should Be Enjoyable and Fun: College Students’ Definitions of Bad Sex
Some of the primary reasons for sexual activities among college students include self-focused motives such as pleasure, along with other-focused motives that facilitate relatedness such as intimacy and emotional connection. However, college students' motivations for sex (or lack thereof) may also be impacted by the meaning they make of their own or peers' experience of "bad sex" - sex that is consensual yet "bad" or "negative" in some way. Theref…
Qualitative genogram analysis: A methodology for theorizing family dynamics
Genograms have been an important tool for clinicians and therapists working with families; however, the use of genograms has not been extended beyond clinical settings. To address this gap in research, we developed qualitative genogram analysis (QGA), a three‐step protocol for analyzing transcribed interviews using family systems theory, representing family systems relational concepts visually in genograms, and identifying common patterns of fami…
Keep Talking to Me”: College-Attending Women’s Desires for Support from Mothers, Fathers, and Friends/Peers in Healthy Sexual Decision-Making
College Women’s Memorable Sexual Messages From Mothers, Fathers, Friends/Peers, and Online Media: A Mixed-Methods Latent Class Analysis
This study used a mixed-methods approach to examine the memorable sexual messages emerging adult women received from mothers, fathers, friends/peers, and online media in their lifetime, and the patterns in which these messages were received. Our sample included 192 college-attending women (81.8% heterosexual, 57.3% White) ages 18–25 ( M = 19.4, SD = 1.4) from a southeastern U.S. university. Through content analysis of open-ended responses to an o…
Typologies of stress appraisal and problem-focused coping: Associations with compliance with public health recommendations during the Covid-19 pandemic
This research uncovered three qualitatively distinct classes of people who differed in their appraisal of the pandemic and their tendency to engage in PFC. Individuals who view the pandemic as central and threatening and engage in problem-focused coping were more likely than their peers to comply with guidelines recommending social distancing, mask wearing, and hand washing. These results contribute to our understanding of why people do and do no…

Infant attachment configurations with mothers and fathers: Implications for triadic interaction quality and children's parental preferences
Typologies of coping in young adults in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has created major upheavals in the lives of people worldwide. The virus has mostly affected elderly populations, but there may be corollary effects on young adults' psychosocial adjustment due to educational, economic, and occupational disruptions. Using latent class analysis, we examined unique typologies of coping in response to the pandemic among young adults. We used an expanded set of indicators including traditional me…
Roles of family cohesiveness, marital adjustment, and child temperament in predicting child behavior with mothers and fathers
The current study explored how family characteristics (i.e., family cohesiveness and marital adjustment) and child characteristics (i.e., temperament) assessed when the child was 13 months old predicted child behavior with mothers and fathers at 36 months. Mother-father-child interaction was observed to assess family cohesiveness at 13 months. Mothers and fathers also completed questionnaires assessing their perceptions of marital adjustment and …
Temperament as a Moderator of the Effects of Parental Depressive Symptoms on Child Behavior Problems
Parental depressive symptomatology has consistently been linked to child maladjustment, but these effects are not universal. This investigation examined the role of child temperament as a moderator of the effects of parental depression on behavior problems in five‐year‐old children. Parents reported on their own depressive symptoms, and both parents and teachers reported on child behavior. Temperament was assessed by both parent‐report and struct…
