He Who Seeks Finds (Bodily Signals)
Alterations in interoception have been linked to psychopathology. Recent findings suggest that both the attention to and the accuracy of, interoceptive perceptions may be oppositely related to subclinical symptomatology. Thus, providing well-validated tools that tap into these interoceptive processes is crucial for understanding the relation between interoceptive processing and subclinical psychopathology. In the current study (N = 642), we aimed…

This study examined the relationship between workload, workplace environment, and emotional exhaustion on turnover intentions among SUD treatment counselors in rural Pennsylvania. An online, anonymous survey was administered to rural SUD treatment counselors in Pennsylvania between October and December 2020. Completed surveys fr…

Thirty students were interviewed regarding their perspectives and sources of social support. Six primary themes emerged from interviews: support for higher education, hesitant support for criminal justice, parental support, support from friends/associates, perceptions of public support, and ge…
Stigma Reduction through Addiction and Naloxone Education
Decreasing stigma levels is critical for improving treatment access and outcomes for individuals with substance use disorder (SUD). This research evaluated the effectiveness of an educational session for students in criminal justice and psychology on the science of drug addiction and naloxone use in improving attitudes toward addiction, comfort using naloxone, and reducing stigma. Students attended a three-hour session that included education abo…
Food Insecurity and Economic Hardship of College Students
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought overwhelming concerns regarding food insecurity and economic impacts for young adults. This study examined food insecurity and economic hardship before and during the pandemic, using data from a cross-sectional survey with college students (N = 375). We employed two analytic approaches, a Latent Class Analysis and a cumulative risk approach. The findings suggest that food insecurity and economic hardship increase…
The role of thwarted belongingness on the relationship between microaggressions and mental health for LGBTQ+ emerging adults
This study investigated thwarted belongingness as a moderator of the relationship between microaggressions and mental health among LGBTQ+ emerging adults. Using data collected from 186 LGBTQ+ emerging adults, we conducted separate moderation analyses to examine whether, and to what extent, the relation between microaggressions and mental health (i.e. anxiety and depressive symptoms) is moderated by thwarted belongingness. Interpersonal and enviro…
An Exploration of the Use of Literature as a Therapeutic Intervention in Social Work
In recent decades, a greater awareness and familiarity has developed in relation to incorporating creative approaches to working with individuals and groups within a social work context. Art therapy, music therapy and even drama therapy have become more commonplace within the range of approaches employed by agencies and practitioners working therapeutically. However, the use of literature as a therapeutic tool is perhaps a less well-known, less d…

Yet, relatively little is known about what motivates students to choose criminal justice as a major and what their career goals are after graduation. In light of current uprisings and demands for criminal justice reform, this study investigates the relationship between undergraduate students' personal characteristics and the criminal justice careers to which they are attracted. …

Are posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex-PTSD distinguishable within a treatment-seeking sample of Syrian refugees living in Lebanon
Support for the discriminant validity of ICD-11 PTSD and CPTSD was observed for the first time within a sample of refugees. In support of the cross-cultural validity of the ICD-11 proposals, the prevalence of PTSD and CPTSD were similar to those observed in culturally distinct contexts
Social interaction contexts bias the perceived expressions of interactants
The present study sought to determine whether contextual information available when viewing social interactions from third-person perspectives may influence observers' perception of the interactants' facial emotion. Observers judged whether the expression of a target face was happy or fearful, in the presence of a happy, aggressive, or neutral interactant. In 2 experiments, the same target expressions were judged to be happier when presented in t…
Addiction Frameworks and Support for Expanding Treatment for Drug Offenders
This study examined how a respondent’s addiction framework (i.e., whether they conceptualized addiction as a medical–social or a moral problem) was associated with their attitudes toward expanding treatment for drug offenders via funding for California’s Proposition 36. Using a 2012 California Field Poll, the author created scales to assess an individual’s addiction framework. Logistic regression was used to assess how well the addiction framewor…
Administrator Insights and Reflections
There are numerous technology tools that educators utilize to support student learning. Often, technology is mandated from the top down with school administrators’ responsible for overseeing the implementation. Innovative technological approaches to learning often meet resistance within schools. The pervasive culture in education is counteractive to technology integration, which may be useful to pedagogy and in the long run may help students deal…

Occupy Movements and the Indignant Figure
This issue of the Journal of Peace Review, “Occupy Movements and the Indignant Figure,” springs out of the 2011 peaceful international social movements. Based on collective indignation and organized around 2.0-3.0 strategies, these new social movements exploded in regions across the globe, from North Africa to Spain, from the United States to the Middle East. In this “Occupy” context, our Castellón Spain-based research group, the Interuniversity …
Aesthetics of Resistance in Western Sahara
In reaction to neo-liberal globalization policies that were spearheaded in the\n\t\t\t\t 1980s by Reagan-economics and Thatcherism, indignant movements ignited\n\t\t\t\t globally in distinct places, spaces, and territories, using diverse resistance\n\t\t\t\t strategies, both violent and nonviolent. Today, two years into the new social\n\t\t\t\t media revolutions, with the “Arab Spring” (in Tunisia known as Sidi Bouzid\n\t\t\t\t Revolt, in Libya a…
The Continuing Expansion of Drug Courts
Additional informationNotes on contributorsJennifer MurphyJENNIFER MURPHY is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at California State University, Sacramento. Her book, Illness or Deviance?

Drug Court as Both a Legal and Medical Authority
This article explores how addiction is conceptualized in a drug court program. Through observations and interviews in a drug court in a large northeastern city, the author reveals how the court uses ambiguous and inconsistent medicalized language to describe addiction, extending the label of addiction to behaviors not just associated with using drugs, but with selling drugs as well. Ultimately, drug courts incorporate a medicalized notion of addi…

Defining and Managing Infant Mortality
Historically, public health workers, physicians, and reformers have used the infant mortality rate as an indicator of the goodness of a society—its general welfare, the justness of its political system, the efficacy of its public works, the benevolence of its powerful; a high rate of death among the very young was an index of a community's shame. These views of the infant mortality rate as reflecting general characteristics of a society were wide…

A Conceptual Framework for Counseling Psychologists in Schools
This article explores how contemporary developmental psychology, specifically developmental-contextualism, provides a conceptual framework for practice and research by counseling psychologists who work with schools. Developmental-contextualism articulates how human development (a) is affected by context, (b) involves bio-psycho-social levels, (c) occurs during the life span, and (d) includes strengths and deficits. The authors delineate how these…

Contextual factors included type of aggression and the condition of having witnessed bullying. Individual factors included sex, age, empathy, sex role orientation and belief in a just world. A MANCOVA revealed no sex differences, but there was a significant main effect of the contextual factors on (a) …
