Mindfulness-Oriented Interventions for Depressive Symptoms in Non-clinical Young Adults
Family Outcomes of Filial Piety in Chinese Families in 2014–2026
Filial piety ( xiaoshun ) is a traditional Chinese cultural value that regulates parent-child relationships and child responsibilities. Previous research has suggested the important role of filial piety in contemporary Chinese families. However, there are few reviews summarizing findings about the influence of parents’ filial piety values on parenting and child emotional well-being and mental health. The current scoping review collects empirical …

Trajectories of spiritual well-being across the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic
Although adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on multiple dimensions of well-being are amply documented, these studies have overlooked the spiritual dimension of well-being. Thus, we know very little about resilience or decline in spiritual well-being or specific contextual factors and coping efforts that might predict distinct trajectories of spiritual well-being. The study characterized trajectories of U.S. adults' spiritual well-being (fai…

Relationship Factors in the Longitudinal Spillover of Stress Between Parents and Children During Covid-19
This study took a family systems perspective and tested spillover theory to examine the transmission of stress from parents to children during COVID-19. Using a longitudinal design with a 1-year interval, we tested the association between parent perceived stress and perceived child stress, and the sequential mediating effects of poor family functioning and parent-child closeness. The data comprised 134 parents residing in the US who were assessed…
Comparing targeted intervention modalities for high conflict co‐parents
High conflict co‐parents engage in recurrent litigation that significantly strains the court system and exacerbates their conflict. Given barriers to their engagement in service delivery (e.g., level of conflict, transportation, child care), it is vital to evaluate targeted interventions and to examine different intervention modalities (e.g., online, hybrid). This study compared court involvement and rates of parental agreement among 178 high con…

Parents' Well-Being and Emotion Regulation During Infancy
New parents' emotional experiences and coping strategies vary by individual and contextual factors such that the efficacy of a coping strategy might depend on their context and the control a person has over each stressor. This is particularly true during the transition to parenthood, when there are numerous stressors parents have limited control over (e.g., sleepless nights, infant distress, and irregular feeding routines). The current study exam…
Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Burden Scale for Family Caregivers-Short Form
Caregiver burden describes the physical, psychological, social, and financial demands of providing care to others. Caregiver burden has been investigated in general, and off-time caregiving often specific to chronic, recurring conditions. Despite the substantial research attention to caregiving burden, there have been few studies aimed establishing the psychometric evaluation of measurement tools used to measure the construct ( Pendergrass et al.…

Mothers’ Experiences of Navigating the Sud Treatment System with Their Young Adult Child
When a young adult develops a substance use disorder (SUD), a mother often assumes a caregiving role and experiences strain associated with providing off-time caregiving. The purpose of this paper is to obtain a nuanced understanding of how mothers of young adults with SUDs experience the treatment system. We conducted in-depth interviews with 13 mothers of young adults (ages 22-34) and analyzed the results using transcendental phenomenology. Fiv…

Social Media Use Early in the Pandemic Predicted Later Social Well-Being and Mental Health in a National Online Sample of Adults in the United States
Social media use increased early in the Covid-19 pandemic, but little information is available about its impact. The present study examined associations of frequency of use of different social media and the motives for use with subsequent social well-being and mental health. Data were gathered on a nationwide sample of 843 Americans during the first wave of lockdowns and infections in mid-April 2020, and again five weeks later. Participants were …
Effects of mindful emotion regulation on parents' loneliness and social support
The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced unprecedented challenges and demands for parents or caregivers of children who experienced disruptions in social support and feelings of isolation. Mindful emotion regulation may be a resilient factor for parents' psychosocial outcomes. Mindful emotion regulation refers to individuals' inherent capacities to regulate emotions mindfully, i.e., through paying attention to one's experiences in the present moment …
Measuring Cumulative Stressfulness
Scales assessing stressor exposure often fail to demonstrate adequate psychometric qualities, demonstrating low interitem reliability or complex factor structures, as would be expected, given that the majority of stressors are independent events. However, in large-scale mass crisis events, the stressors may be highly interrelated, indicating shared experience. Furthermore, few stressor exposure scales also measure appraised stressfulness of those…

The next division of labour
Using a comparative work force survey of Australian and Indian call centre workers, the question of whether the outsourcing of info-service work portends a new division of labour is addressed. Evidence is presented that the work conducted in both Australian and Indian call centres is semi-skilled in nature. Work in India is managed more tightly but also offers greater variety, while in terms of required skills call centre employment is comparable…
The next available agent
We examine the employee perception of work organisation in four large Indian call centres to investigate causes of employee dissatisfaction and turnover. We find that profound mismatch between the offshored labour market and the labour process pose fundamental challenges that may not be susceptible to easy HR fixes
You gotta lie to it’
This paper advances an extended material analysis to the study of technological change in a call centre. It shows how such an analysis is particularly apropos for understanding the distance that often separates managerial intentions in introducing a new technology from the outcomes associated with how workers utilise it

Unions in a Contrary World
Australia once had extremely high levels of trade union participation, yet since the 1970s the number of union members has been falling dramatically. This book gives the clearest picture yet of why people do or do not belong to unions and, in a sophisticated way, examines the reasons for union decline. Uniquely, it considers both the macro and micro levels, looking at the structure of the economy and the labour market, the relations between union…

Professional call centres, professional workers and the paradox of the algorithm
Although the professional call centre has been theorized, little empirical work has been carried out on this form of service delivery. The existing literature fails to distinguish adequately between professional call centres and professionals who work in call centres. In this study of telehealth it is shown that a centre which exhibits the features of a professional call centre does not overcome problems associated with this type of labour proces…

The Impact of Adolescent Substance Use on Family Functioning
This longitudinal study sought to investigate associations between adolescent substance use and family functioning and whether internalizing symptoms play a mediating role in this relationship; based on growing evidence from the literature, we also explored gender differences. Participants ( N = 1,036) completed surveys in school during 2007, 2008, and 2009. Path analysis results indicated that boys' alcohol use negatively predicted family functi…

The Politics of Labour-Force Reproduction Funding Canada’s Social Wage, 1917–1946
Fundamental to the critique of political economy is the paramount distinction that Marx makes between labour and labour power.

By positing the distinction between labour pow…

Increasing numbers of states are in the process of passing laws requiring all new parents to receive educational materials to prevent shaken baby syndrome (SBS). These laws create powerful opportunities to reach large numbers of families with an important prevention effort. Results from the effort to raise SBS awareness described here indicate that not only is the content of SBS prevention (e.g., consequences of shaking; emotion regulation/coping…

A Fair or a Minimum Wage? Women Workers, the State, and the Origins of Wage Regulation in Western Canada
Patriarchal domination is now, correctly, viewed as a major feature of social organization in pre-capitalist and non-capitalist societies. In capitalist market societies, it has been related to the operant division of labour, the separation of domestic from waged work and the implications that this has for both spheres of activity. Various theoretical approaches have been developed to account for structured gender inequality in the face of suppos…

In Heaven's Alley
In Heaven’s Alley Bob Russell (bio) The tap. The double drop. I haven’t shaken from my sleep the dream of ink— how skies let go their pinpoint stops, pop my paper roof and spread the news. I’ve seen enough of stars, heard the distant clamor of the traffic jams enough, awakened to the hammer of the trashcan lids enough in Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri. I bear the stain of cities. My box soaked through by novacaine now rolls me over. In black I …
Picture Box
Picture Box Bob Russell (bio) In a world always afternoon summer the bald boy is frozen; caught snapping the dead, the green gone to yellow leaves from geranium stalks. In March, when the last wind of winter rattles the roof and the glass walls shiver, when the ice line cracks, yawns, and the light peeks in, when the work is done below domino shadows— only then is a picture, like this one, possible. A trick of the light in spring perhaps. Even as…

Employment Security and Job Loss
Trade unions have dealt with the thorny issue of layoffs since their formation, but relatively little has been written on the topic of union strategies for surviving large-scale redundancies. This paper examines these strategies in an industry that is all too familiar with massive layoffs: railroading. An analysis of union responses to job losses presupposes an understanding of the factors underlying managerial decisions about staff reduction. We…
