A Qualitative Exploration of Language Brokering and Parent-Child Relationships in Korean Immigrant Families
Academic buoyancy and fear of failure differences among university students: Null findings
Academic buoyancy refers to a student's adaptive response for dealing with academic-related setbacks and challenges that are typical in the ordinary course of school life. Fear of failure, known also as fear avoidance, is the tendency for students to be uncertain about their ability to avoid failures and achieve success. Both constructs have been associated with students' academic outcomes. Herein, we examine whether there were differences in the…
Knowledge of development during pregnancy and the transition to parenthood: Psychometric properties of the Domains of Development Instrument
Researchers and practitioners need robust measurement tools for evaluating knowledge of child development to better support parents and their children during pregnancy and the transition to parenthood. We addressed this need by evaluating the psychometric properties of the Domains of Development Instrument (DoDI) for measuring knowledge of developmental milestones from birth to 3 years. We evaluated four types of validity evidence for the DoDI: t…
Mothers’ parenting stress in Chinese immigrant families: The role of fathers’ involvement and social support
Using a cross-sectional research design, 152 Chinese immigrant mothers and 45 fathers living in the United States completed a previously validated online survey examining how fathers’ involvement in childcare, mothers’ perceptions of social support and reported self-efficacy were related to mothers’ parenting stress. The study purpose was to investigate the association between mothers’ reports of parenting stress and two sources of parenting supp…
Supporting Mathematics Understanding Through Funds of Knowledge
The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify the unique funds of knowledge among three Hispanic families living in the same city, specifically, how parents supported their children’s mathematics learning through funds of knowledge. Participants contributed to their children’s mathematics learning by promoting the five National Council of Teachers of Mathematics process standards—problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connec…
The practical utility of the Welch Emotional Connection Screen for rating parent–infant relational health
Emotional Connection (EC) measured by the Welch Emotional Connection Screen (WECS) was related to the Parent–Infant Interaction Rating System (PIIRS), a 5‐point adaptation of the rating system developed for the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (e.g., NICHD Early Child Care Research Network, 1999, Developmental Psychology , 35, 1399). Parent–infant dyads ( n = 49 mothers; 43 f…

Domestic Violence in Mexico: Perspectives of Mexican Counselors
Drawing on professional experiences of Mexican counselors, we examined the lives of women who experienced domestic violence from the perspective of those counselors working most closely with them. Although there are many studies that have investigated the origin and perpetuation of domestic violence in Mexico, few have included the participation of counselors. In the present study, we identify common antecedents of abuse from the perspective of c…
Web‐Based Tutoring of the Structure Strategy With or Without Elaborated Feedback or Choice for Fifth‐ and Seventh‐Grade Readers
This study investigated the effects of different versions of Web‐based instruction focused on text structure on fifth‐ and seventh‐grade students' reading comprehension. Stratified random assignment was employed in a two‐factor experiment embedded within a pretest and multiple posttests design (immediate and four‐month delayed posttests). The two factors were type of feedback provided by the Web‐based tutor (elaborated vs. simple feedback) and th…
Introducing an Intergenerational, Internet-Based Tutoring Program: Meeting Program Challenges
Schools face many challenges in preparing students to meet today's state and national academic goals. Intergenerational tutoring programs have been shown to be an excellent resource to help schools and students meet these academic challenges. However, inter-generational tutoring programs can be expensive and face obstacles that include scheduling difficulties and barriers pertaining to physical mobility and transportation needs of older adult tut…
Parental Educational Program: Effectiveness and Retention
55 parents of adolescent children were asked to rate the effectiveness of their communication with their adolescents before and after a 10-wk. parent educational program encouraging authoritative parent-adolescent interactions. Parents reported improved effectiveness of communication from the pre- to post-program assessment times. Retention was compared across groups receiving high and low support in attendance of meetings, but retention did not …
