Perceptions of parental secure base support in African American adolescents and young adults: A preliminary study of predictive links to adult C-reactive protein
Within the field of relationship science there is increasing interest in the connections between close relationships and physical health. In the present study, we examined whether adolescents' (∼12 years old) and young adults' (∼20 years old) perceptions of their parents as a secure base prospectively predict C-reactive protein (CRP), a commonly used marker of inflammatory activity, at age 32 in a well-characterized sample of African Americans. W…
Developmental histories of perceived racial discrimination and diurnal cortisol profiles in adulthood: A 20-year prospective study
Racial/ethnic socialization and identity development in Black families: The role of parent and youth reports
Racial/ethnic (R/E) socialization is widely practiced in R/E minority families. However, only recently have models been developed to understand how parents' R/E socialization messages influence adolescent development. The primary goal of the present study was to clarify and extend existing work on R/E socialization in African American (Black) families by distinguishing between parent and youth reports of parents' R/E socialization messages and ex…
Adolescent educational success and mental health vary across school engagement profiles
The present study used multidimensional and person-centered approaches to identify subgroups of adolescents characterized by unique patterns of behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement and examined whether adolescent developmental outcomes varied as a function of different combinations of engagement components. Data were collected on 1,025 youths (57% African American, 43% European American; 53% female, 47% male). Five profiles of student …

Quality at the Point of Service: Profiles of Practice in After‐School Settings
A unique observational data set was used to explore quality at the point of service in after‐school programs. Staff practices in after‐school settings were represented on a series of unidimensional scales closely indexed to staff behavior. In order to account for heterogeneity of staff performances, pattern‐centered methods were used to construct profiles of common staff practices. Results revealed six pedagogy profiles that were classified in te…
Using multilevel systems theory to integrate dynamic person-in-context systems
Unexpected Pathways Through Education: Why Do Some Students Not Succeed in School and What Helps Others Beat the Odds
In this overview of Volume 64, Issue 1, of the Journal of Social Issues , we describe why it is important to consider the diversity of student pathways through time and in context and why it is important to focus particularly on youth who defy predictions. We describe the ways in which expectations are formed in statistical analysis and also in real‐world education systems and how the structural rigidity inherent in such systems can lead to poor …
Exploring the Roles of Extracurricular Activity Quantity and Quality in the Educational Resilience of Vulnerable Adolescents: Variable‐ and Pattern‐Centered Approaches
This longitudinal study examines how extracurricular activity involvement contributes to “educational resilience”—the unexpected educational attainments of adolescents who are otherwise vulnerable to curtailed school success due to personal‐ and social‐level risks. Educationally vulnerable youth characterized by significant risks and an absence of assets were identified during early adolescence (approximately age 14) using measures of academic mo…
Tempest in a Gallimaufry: Applying Multilevel Systems Theory to Person‐in‐Context Research
Terminological ambiguity and inattention to personal and contextual multilevel systems undermine personality, self, and identity theories. Hierarchical and heterarchical systems theories are used to describe contents and processes existing within and across three interrelated multilevel systems: levels of organization, representation, and integration. Materially nested levels of organization are used to distinguish persons from contexts and perso…

Ethnicity as a social context for the development of African-American adolescents
The Value of Information to the Acidic Deposition Debates
This article is addressed to those interested in how Bayesian approaches can be brought to bear on research and development planning and management issues. It provides a conceptual framework for estimating the value of information to environmental policy decisions. The methodology is applied to assess the expected value of research concerning the effects of acidic deposition on forests. To calculate the expected value of research requires modelin…
The Nerc Fan: A Retrospective Analysis of the Nerc Summary Forecasts
forecasts of the growth in demand for electricity, published annually since 1974 by the North American Electric Reliability Council, have proved to be excessively optimistic, although the projected growth rate has been revised downward each year. Should forecasters have been able to do a better job of predicting the slowdown in demand growth since the early 1970s? Should they have responded more quickly as actual demand growth fell short of proje…
