Application of the RE-AIM Framework for the Pediatric Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Evaluation and Management Intervention
Background Children who experience a mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) may encounter cognitive and behavioral changes that often negatively impact school performance. Communication linkages between the various healthcare systems and school systems are rarely well-coordinated, placing children with an mTBI at risk for prolonged recovery, adverse impact on learning, and mTBI re-exposure. The objective of this study is to rigorously appraise the pe…
Safety Rituals
In this study we focus on how women's fear of sexual violence shapes their views on sexual assault and influences their use of safety strategies as well as how those safety strategies may restrict their use of time and space. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 5 participants who also journaled for one week on the topic of sexual violence. Data were analyzed through an inductive analysis approach. These women think about sexual violenc…
Newlywed Women's Marital Expectations
Over time, perceptions of marriage in the United States have shifted from a social obligation to a decision based on personal fulfillment. This shift has been most pronounced for women who no longer rely upon marriage for financial security. Marriages based on personal fulfillment are more fragile so when love declines and constraints do not exist, infidelity and divorce are considered viable options. This study investigated newlywed women's mari…
Self-Service in the Labor Process
Consumers not only consume. They are increasingly being used by retail and service organizations to perform work-like tasks in the manner of quasi-employees. To explore this role of consumers in the labor process, we use the term consumptive labor and focus on one prevalent form of consumptive labor: self-service. Business organizations obviously benefit from self-service, primarily through increasing the amount of labor during the workday, witho…
Intercultural Relationships
Globalization, technological advances, and increasingly flexible social norms have contributed to more widespread intercultural relationships, particularly in multicultural societies such as the United States. In this paper, the authors use Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems framework (i.e., the macrosystem, exosystem, microsystem, chronosystem) to review the factors involved with entry and adjustment in intercultural relationships. Relationship…
Rituals in Unmarried Couple Relationships
This study provides an understanding of rituals enacted in unmarried couple relationships. One hundred and twenty-nine individuals involved in unmarried relationships reported on their rituals in an online, open-ended questionnaire. A typology of 16 ritual types was developed. Twelve of the rituals have been shown to be common in marital relationships. Four new ritual categories, unique to unmarried relationships, emerged from the data. The new c…
Marriage Today
This paper provides a literature review of the incongruence between Americans' beliefs and practices regarding marriage. In the United States, marriage is conceptualized as a monogamous, lifelong partnership. Yet American practices do not support this conceptualization, which is evidenced by infidelity and divorce rates that approximate 25-50 percent. This paper explores the incongruence and examines how cultural shifts in marital practices have …
Depression and Poverty Among Rural Women
Context and Purpose: Depression among rural women is a major public health concern. The purpose of this study was to test the competing theories of social causation and social selection to assess the relationship between depression and economic status for a sample of rural, low‐income women in the United States. Methods: Structural equation modeling was used to analyze data from Rural Families Speak, a US Department of Agriculture‐funded multi‐st…
On the Outside Teaching in
This study uses a quasi-experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of Internet videoconferencing technology. The instructor used a laptop, webcam, high-speed DSL connection, and PolycomTM Viewstation to teach a course unit of introductory sociology from a remote location to an experimental group of students in a large multimedia classroom. The same instructor taught a control group of introductory sociology students without videoconferencing. The g…

Family Friendly Workplace Benefits
This article utilizes an eclectic, two dimensional political-economy perspective linking class power and organizational factors as the basis for analyzing variations in family friendly benefits provided to workers by U.S. employers and by state policies in six industrialized nations. An Organizational-Class Power approach is used to develop four hypotheses concerning benefit variations as influenced by the intersection of class power and organiza…

Family Friendly Workplace Benefits
The general purpose of the paper is to expand our understanding of how and why employer-provided benefits and resources that support the obligations and commitments of workers to their families are more or less available in the workplace. The specific objectives of this paper are threefold. First, it considers the limitations of a public policy approach to family benefits in the workplace through a brief review of the background and impact of the…
The Effects of Family Structure and Maternal Employment on the Development of Gender-Related Attitudes Among Men and Women
This article investigates the influence of family structure and maternal employment on the development of attitudes among children, regarding the extent to which children endorse traditional or egalitarian gender role behavior among women. Two hypotheses are tested: father-absence hypothesis and role-restructuring hypothesis. Findings indicate that at the aggregate level, children from father-headed families have more traditional gender-related a…
Correlates of parent–child communication about specific sexual topics
Using data from 600 parents of children aged 5 to 18, and a context‐oriented, developmental socialization conceptual framework, the interrelationships between parents' perceptions of themselves, their child, and their family relationships and the amount of parent–child discussion of 16 sexuality topics were explored. Canonical correlation analysis was used to demonstrate how circumstances and contexts influence the complexity of parent–child conv…
A Decade of Dare
A micro I macro conceptual framework is used to explore the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program in terms of long-term effectiveness, as a political force and the links between these two dimensions. At the micro-level, questionnaire data comparing fifth-grade DARE-exposed high school seniors with non-exposed seniors revealed no substantial differences in drug use between the two groups. Focus group interviews with contrasting senior gro…
Detecting and Correcting Attrition Bias in Longitudinal Family Research
Bias due to the attrition of respondents poses a threat to the internal and external validity offind- ings in longitudinal family research. Differences in characteristics between two samples at initial and subsequent waves is a threat to external va- lidity, and differences in the relationships be- tween variables in the samples is a threat to inter- nal validity. Methods of detecting attrition bias are discussed, and Heckman's procedure to cor- …
Attachment Between Former Spouses
This study examines the relationship between attachment of former spouses and parental communication and involvement. Data were collected from one hundred and seventeen divorced persons (46 men and 71 women) with school aged children. Research instruments included a shortened version of Kitson's (1982) attachment scale and Goldsmith's (1980) Co-Parental Communication and Parental Participation scales. Results suggest attachment may not be an adeq…
The Relation of Parental Employment and Contextual Variables with Sexual Permissiveness and Gender Role Attitudes of Rural Early Adolescents
This study examined the relationships between parental employment variables, mediating contextual variables, early adolescent's permissive sexual attitudes and behaviors, and gender role traditionalism among 128 rural adolescents. Permissive sexual attitudes were related to permissive sexual behavior, but neither was related to gender role traditionalism. No relationship was found between mothers' employment and adolescents' sexual attitudes and …

A Comparison of the Effects of Punishment-Oriented and Reward-Oriented Messages in Persuasive Communication
The effects of reward-oriented (pleasure) and punishment-oriented (fear) appeals were examined in conjunction with initial credibility on attitude change and terminal credibility. Ss were exposed to either a reward-oriented or a punishment-oriented message by either a high-credible or low-credible source. Reward and punishment appeals did not differentially affect either attitude change or perceived credibility. Both types of appeals produced sub…
