Quantitative data from students are not sufficient to develop a diverse student body. Method: A literature review was conducted using MEDLINE, CINAHL, ERC, ERIC, and Google Scholar. Original research articles on holistic…

Black Lives Matter Movement
The execution of 18‐year‐old Mike Brown by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, sparked the Ferguson Uprising. His death catalyzed an expansion of the broader Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement in support of Black victims of state‐sanctioned violence. The movement, initiated by the killing of 17‐year‐old Trayvon Martin, is rooted in a political legacy that derives from Black people's historical resistance to structural racism and di…

Mothers and children show similar patterns of food acceptance and food preferences. Children's intake of fruit and vegetables was positively related to parents' intake of fruit and vegetables. The current study used self-reported data from parents/primary care…

Conceptual Similarities Among Fantasy and Religious Orientations
Often in conservative religious populations, fantastical thoughts, interests, and beliefs are discouraged because fantastical beliefs are thought to contradict religious doctrine. However, beliefs in invisible, omnipotent entities such as God and Santa Claus likely rely on similar conceptual abilities that might complement rather than contradict religiosity. Therefore, the present study examined how one’s current and retrospective fantasy orienta…
Supporting the development of empathy
Theory of mind (ToM) and empathy are separate, but related components of social understanding. However, research has not clearly defined the distinctions between them. Similarly, related constructs, such as fantasy orientation (FO), are associated with better ToM understanding; however, little is known about how FO may provide a context in which both ToM and affective empathy develop. Children between the ages of 3 and 5 ( N = 82) completed a bat…

This paper contributes to a growing body of sociological literature on social media by applying an intersectional framework to a content analysis of over 400,000 tweets related to #SayHerName. Our findings demonstrate that Twitter…
A mediational model of workplace flexibility, work-family conflict, and perceived stress among caregivers of older adults
As an increasing number of employees become caregivers, the role of workplace resources in supporting caregivers has attracted the attention of researchers, employers, and policy-makers. Workplace flexibility is one type of resource that has attracted particular interest, with research exploring whether flexibility (that is, giving employees some control over when and/or where work gets done) is related to important outcomes for both employees an…

Motivators for and barriers against workplace flexibility
Despite growing interest in workplace flexibility, relatively little is known about how the dynamics of flexible options might differ in for-profit, nonprofit, and public sector organizations. This short report evaluates the relative importance of various barriers against and motivators for flexible options in the public, nonprofit private, and for-profit private sectors using two similar surveys of private sector (2006 National Study of Business…
The Use of an Online Diversity Forum to Facilitate Social Work Students' Dialogue on Sensitive Issues
While training social work students to become culturally competent practitioners is at the forefront of multicultural higher education, courses on diversity issues present great challenges for both students and faculty. Building on previous research, this study presents an instructional approach to promote social work graduate student learning via an online diversity forum (ODF). A nonequivalent, quasi-experimental comparison design assessed whet…
