  • Adoption and Discontinuance of Innovation Packages

    Rachel A Smith, Jessica Gall Myrick et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2024

    The past decades have seen growing interest and application of interventions targeting the change of multiple behaviors at once. We advance this work by using the diffusion of innovations theory (DOI) to consider constellations of behaviors as innovation packages: multiple innovations that are logically related, interdependent in their use or effects, and often promoted as a set (Rogers, 2003). In addition, we embraced DOI’s focus on behavioral d…

  • Extending the Theory of Normative Social Behavior

    Xun Zhu, Christopher J Carpenter et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2024

    Novel, public behaviors, such as masking, should be susceptible to normative influence. This paper advances the theory of normative social behavior by considering a new set of moderators of normative influence — superdiffuser traits — and by clarifying the antecedents and consequences of exposure to collective norms. We use data from a two-wave survey of a cohort living in one U.S. county during the pandemic (N = 913) to assess normative effects …

  • Covid-19 Mitigation Among College Students

    Rachel A Smith, Meg L Small et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2023

    By fall 2020, students returning to U.S. university campuses were mandated to engage in COVID-19 mitigation behaviors, including masking, which was a relatively novel prevention behavior in the U.S. Masking became a target of university mandates and campaigns, and it became politicized. Critical questions are whether the influences of injunctive norms and response efficacy on one behavior (i.e. masking) spill over to other mitigation behaviors (e…

  • Mixed-methods Analysis of Adults Likely versus Unlikely to Get a Covid-19 Vaccination

    Lauren J Van Scoy, Heather J Costigan et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Health Behavior2022

    Objectives: This mixed-methods study compared perspectives of those 'very likely' versus 'very unlikely' to receive a hypothetical COVID-19 vaccine. Methods: We used an explanatory, sequential, mixed- methods design to analyze quantitative data from a rural Pennsylvania sample. Of the 976 participants, 67 selected 'very unlikely' to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Responses to open-ended questions: "What worries you the most about the COVID 19 pandemic…

  • Cultivating Compassion for Self and Others

    Open AccessBlake A Colaianne, Brooke D Lavelle et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2022Referências: 4

    Many have called for school-based student programs that teach skills related to self-care and caring for others. Here, such a program for peer-nominated adolescents was developed and piloted virtually at one high school during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results of a longitudinal, quasi-experimental evaluation of the program showed high-quality program implementation and promising program impacts. Effect sizes indicated moderate to large program impac…

    Laura Ferrer-Wreder, Laura Ferrer‐Wreder et al.ARTICLEIdentity2008

    This article is the report of an investigation of relations among identity coherence/identity confusion, the ego strength of competence, antisocial behavior, academic competence, and perceptions of school environment in a sample of 574 adolescents. The primary results of this cross-sectional study suggest significant associations between identity-related constructs and indicators of adolescent adjustment. Study implications are discussed in terms…

  • Faith‐placed parenting intervention

    Open AccessMegan E Patrick, Brittany L Rhoades et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2008Citada por: 2Referências: 16

    Collaboration with religious institutions is recommended as a frontier for prevention science. Little is known about the effectiveness of programs currently disseminated by churches. This pilot program investigated potential advantages and disadvantages of university collaborations in faith settings, by implementing the Staying Connected with Your Teen parenting program ( N =13 parents) in a single congregation. The mixed‐method assessment includ…
