Implementation Evaluation of a Web-Based Electronic Information Sharing Platform for Victims and Survivors of Violence
Hospitals serve two million victims of interpersonal violence per year and may be the only place survivors seek services. Other formal systems may have little or inconsistent communication with hospitals, to the detriment of survivors. To improve responses to survivors, four counties in California piloted a web-based platform for forensic examination documentation and electronic communication of nonaccidental injury reports among medical, legal, …

Cognitive Interviewing
Overcoming the “Holy Hush”
Described as a “holy hush,” past research has noted a general silence about and reluctance to address intimate partner violence ( IPV ) in religious congregations. To explore this, we interviewed 20 Protestant Christian religious leaders about how they understood and responded to IPV . Based on a thematic content analysis, our study revealed some of the challenges, tensions, and complexities that may be barriers to leaders speaking about and resp…
The Influence of Community Sociocultural Context on Creating an Effective, Coordinated Response to Sexual Assault
Members of Sexual Assault Response Teams (SARTs) coordinate and improve the community response to sexual assault. A SART’s effectiveness is likely influenced by its sociocultural context, or the norms, values, and beliefs of the local community. However, this has yet to be empirically examined. We conducted a qualitative study to explore how sociocultural context may influence effectiveness within a sample of 169 leaders of 169 U.S. SARTs. SART l…
News Reporting on Human Trafficking
Media—in particular news coverage—contribute toward shaping public understanding and opinion on societal issues, and influence policies, programs, and legislative action. While a small number of previous studies have explored journalists’ reporting on other social issues, very little is known about their perceptions and knowledge of human trafficking. In this exploratory study, researchers conducted 12 qualitative interviews with Illinois newspap…
Christian campus-ministry groups at public universities and opposition to same-sex marriage
An examination of attitudes toward gender and sexual violence among Asian Indians in the United States
Interfaith Groups as Mediating Structures for Political Action
This study investigates interfaith groups from across the United States to understand how these religious settings may serve as mediating structures to facilitate individual political action. Based on a multilevel modeling analysis with 169 individuals from 25 interfaith groups, we found that core activities of the group, such as group members sharing community information (e.g., announcing upcoming events, political meetings, community issues) o…
Understanding Community Issues of Interfaith Groups
Community psychologists are interested in community‐based organizations that work to address community issues. To extend research in this area, we use k ‐means cluster analysis with a sample of 81 interfaith groups from across the United States to understand what types of issues they work on in their local communities. We demonstrate three typologies of how groups work on explicitly religious and/or more general social issues (i.e., religious and…
Preliminary Validation of the Sex Trafficking Attitudes Scale
This study presents the Sex Trafficking Attitudes Scale (STAS), assessing cognitive, behavioral, and affective attitudes toward the sex trafficking of women and girls. Across two studies, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed and confirmed six subscales: (a) Knowledge About Sex Trafficking, (b) Awareness of Sex Trafficking, (c) Attitudes Toward Ability to Leave Sex Trafficking, (d) Attitudes Toward Helping Survivors, (e) Empathic …
Examining the Presence of Congregational Programs Focused on Violence Against Women
Religious congregations are uniquely poised to provide programs to support survivors of violence against women; yet little is known regarding the prevalence of such programs. In this study, we used data from three waves of the National Congregation Study (N = 3334) to examine change across time in the presence of a congregational program to support survivors of sexual assault or domestic violence. We also explored results among different Christia…
Applying affiliation social network analysis to understand interfaith groups
This study applies affiliation social network analysis to understand how interfaith groups provide resources to other community groups and link interfaith group members to resources for local community change. Based on a sample of 88 interfaith groups from across the U.S., affiliation social network analysis pictures show distinct patterns in how interfaith groups share resources with community groups and link members to community resources. Over…
Preliminary validation of the Sanctification of Social Justice Scale
This study presents psychometric results for the initial validation of the Sanctification of Social Justice Scale (SSJS). We conceptualized the sanctification of social justice as how strongly individuals connect working for social justice to an expression of God’s will and what it means to be Christian. Across 4 studies including over 1,200 Christian college students, an exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, internal consist…
The Role of Sense of Community and Conflict in Predicting Congregational Belonging
This investigation extends research on religious congregations by examining how a sense of community and congregational conflict predict a sense of belonging to one's religious congregation. Based on a national random sample of 86,863 individuals nested in 424 congregations, we used multilevel logistic regression to test individual, congregational, and cross‐level interactive effects. Findings revealed that sense of community dimensions of member…
Religious Congregations and Social Justice Participation
Religious congregations have potential to be mediating structures for social justice participation. However, research has yet to examine the specific social processes or leadership characteristics within congregations that may promote social justice participation. In this study, we use data from 176,901 participants nested within 1,938 congregations to test how social processes (i.e., religious attendance at worship services, extra‐worship partic…
Examining Patterns of Political, Social Service, and Collaborative Involvement of Religious Congregations
This investigation examines typologies of congregations based on patterns of congregational political and social service activities and collaborative partners. Based on a latent class analysis of a national random sample of 2,153 congregations, results indicated four distinct types of congregations with unique patterns of political, social service, and collaborative partnerships labeled: (a) Active, (b) Not Active, (c) Social Service Not Politica…
