Parent Engagement At A Cristo Rey High School: Building Home-School Partnerships In A Multicultural Immigrant Community, Thomas M. Crea, Andrew D. Reynolds, Elizabeth Degnan
Parent Engagement At A Cristo Rey High School: Building Home-School Partnerships In A Multicultural Immigrant Community, Thomas M. Crea, Andrew D. Reynolds, Elizabeth Degnan
Journal of Catholic Education
Catholic social teaching affirms the primary role of parents in their children’s education, as well as the importance of a home-school partnership. The purposes of this article are to review the results of a mixed methods study of parent engagement at Cristo Rey Boston High School, and how the results of this study led to specific efforts to include parents more closely in the life of the school. Results suggest that parents in multicultural communities perceive their engagement to be an important part of their children’s education. Yet, this engagement may take different forms that may go unrecognized by school …
Social Anxiety And Drinking Refusal Self-Efficacy Moderate The Relationship Between Drinking Game Participation And Alcohol-Related Consequences, Joseph W. Labrie, Lucy Napper, Shannon R. Kenney
Social Anxiety And Drinking Refusal Self-Efficacy Moderate The Relationship Between Drinking Game Participation And Alcohol-Related Consequences, Joseph W. Labrie, Lucy Napper, Shannon R. Kenney
Psychological Science Faculty Works
Background
Participation in drinking games is associated with excessive drinking and alcohol risks. Despite the growing literature documenting the ubiquity and consequences of drinking games, limited research has examined the influence of psychosocial factors on the experience of negative consequences as the result of drinking game participation.
Objectives
The current event-level study examined the relationships among drinking game participation, social anxiety, drinking refusal self-efficacy (DRSE) and alcohol-related consequences in a sample of college students.
Methods
Participants (n =976) reported on their most recent drinking occasion in the past month in which they did not preparty.
Results
After controlling for sex, …
The Efficacy Of A Standalone Protective Behavioral Strategies Intervention For Students Accessing Mental Health Services, Joseph W. Labrie, Lucy Napper, Elizabeth M. Grimaldi, Shannon R. Kenney, Andrew Lac
The Efficacy Of A Standalone Protective Behavioral Strategies Intervention For Students Accessing Mental Health Services, Joseph W. Labrie, Lucy Napper, Elizabeth M. Grimaldi, Shannon R. Kenney, Andrew Lac
Heads Up!
Objective
Students with poor mental health are at increased risk for problematic alcohol use. These students also tend to underutilize alcohol-related protective behavioral strategies (PBS). Cross-sectional studies indicate that PBS use may be particularly useful for students with mental health challenges; however, it is unclear whether training these students to use PBS is an effective approach for reducing alcohol use and consequences. The current study evaluated the efficacy of a standalone PBS skills training and personalized feedback (PBS-STPF) intervention among students accessing mental health services.
Method
Participants (N = 251) were randomly assigned to either an individual facilitator-led PBS-STPF …
Alcohol Abstinence Or Harm-Reduction? Parental Messages For College-Bound Light Drinkers, Joseph W. Labrie, Sarah C. Boyle, Lucy Napper
Alcohol Abstinence Or Harm-Reduction? Parental Messages For College-Bound Light Drinkers, Joseph W. Labrie, Sarah C. Boyle, Lucy Napper
Heads Up!
Parental communications about alcohol can have a significant impact on college students’ alcohol use; however, it is unclear what types of communication may be most beneficial for reducing alcohol risk, particularly among students who have already initiated alcohol use. The present research examines differences in alcohol use and employment of drinking protective behavioral strategies between pre-college matriculation high school seniors receiving predominantly abstinence parent messaging and students primarily receiving harm-reduction parent messaging. Students who identified as light drinkers were recruited during their last month in high school and completed an online assessment of alcohol use and parent alcohol communication. Analyses …
What's A Nice Jewish Book Group Doing In A Catholic University?: The Book Group As A Community Outreach Tool, Rhonda Rosen
What's A Nice Jewish Book Group Doing In A Catholic University?: The Book Group As A Community Outreach Tool, Rhonda Rosen
LMU Librarian Publications & Presentations
The book group is a staple of the public library system. For years public libraries have used it to gather readers of different genres (mystery book lovers), to celebrate holidays or different times of year (seasons, summer reading programs), and to appeal to diverse patron groups (children’s reading groups, student recreational reading groups). At Loyola Marymount University (LMU), a medium-sized private Jesuit university, we decided to use the book group as a way of reaching out to our neighboring communities. This article will describe how we used the traditional book group to promote a new academic program and the unanticipated …
The Longitudinal Relationships Among Injunctive Norms And Hooking Up Attitudes And Behaviors In College Students, Lucy Napper, Shannon R. Kenney, Joseph W. Labrie
The Longitudinal Relationships Among Injunctive Norms And Hooking Up Attitudes And Behaviors In College Students, Lucy Napper, Shannon R. Kenney, Joseph W. Labrie
Heads Up!
Limited research has explored the influence of perceived injunctive norms for distal (e.g., typical student) and proximal (e.g., close friend and parents) referents on hooking up. The current study examined the longitudinal relationships among perceived injunctive norms, personal approval and hooking up behavior, and the moderating effects of gender in a sample of heavy drinking college students. At Time 1, participants completed web-based assessments of personal approval of hooking up and perceptions of close friend, parent, and typical student approval. Three months later, participants reported on whether they had hooked up. The results of a path analysis indicated that greater …
Gender As A Moderator Of The Relationship Between Preparty Motives And Event-Level Consequences, Lucy E. Napper, Shannon R. Kenney, Kevin S. Montes, Leslie J. Lewis, Joseph W. Labrie
Gender As A Moderator Of The Relationship Between Preparty Motives And Event-Level Consequences, Lucy E. Napper, Shannon R. Kenney, Kevin S. Montes, Leslie J. Lewis, Joseph W. Labrie
Heads Up!
Prepartying is often associated with increased alcohol consumption and negative alcohol-related consequences among college students. General drinking motives are often only weakly related to preparty alcohol use, and few studies have examined the associations between preparty-specific drinking motives and alcohol-related consequences that occur during or after a preparty event. The current study utilizes event-level data to address this gap in the literature by examining the relationship between four types of preparty motives (prepartying to relax or loosen up, to increase control over alcohol use, to meet a dating partner, and to address concerns that alcohol may not be available later) …
A Model For Reflective Practice In Libraries, Tobeylynn Birch
A Model For Reflective Practice In Libraries, Tobeylynn Birch
LMU Librarian Publications & Presentations
As librarians increasingly engage in quantitative and qualitative methods to assess and improve services and operations, reflective practice provides a means to ensure that results are relevant to the new challenges that libraries face. Although reflective practice, introduced by Donald Schön in 1983, has been widely adopted in education and other professions, there is little evidence of reflective practice in libraries, other than the facilitation of reflection in students.
The library profession would benefit from reflective practice. Libraries now operate in rapidly changing environments, where long-standing practices may no longer achieve desired results. Reflective practice encourages professionals to take a …
Brief Motivational Interventions For College Student Drinking May Not Be As Powerful As We Think: An Individual Participant-Level Data Meta-Analysis, David Huh, Eun-Young Mun, Mary E. Larimer, Helene R. White, Anne E. Ray, Isaac C. Rhew, Su-Young Kim, Yang Jiao, David C. Atkins, The Project Integrate Team

Larimer, Helene R. White, Anne E. Ray, Isaac C. Rhew, Su-Young Kim, Yang Jiao, David C. Atkins, The Project Integrate Team
Heads Up!
Background
For over two decades, brief motivational interventions (BMIs) have been implemented on college campuses to reduce heavy drinking and related negative consequences. Such interventions include in-person motivational interviews (MIs), often incorporating personalized feedback (PF), and stand-alone PF interventions delivered via mail, computer, or the Web. Both narrative and meta-analytic reviews using aggregate data from published studies suggest at least short-term efficacy of BMIs, although overall effect sizes have been small.
Method
The present study was an individual participant-level data (IPD) meta-analysis of 17 randomized clinical trials evaluating BMIs. Unlike typical meta-analysis based on summary data, IPD meta-analysis allows for …

This paper provides an overview of a study that synthesizes multiple, independently collected alcohol intervention studies for college students into a single, multisite longitudinal data set. This research embraced innovative analytic strategies (i.e., integrative data analysis or meta-analysis using individual participant-level data), with the overall goal of answering research questions that are difficult to address in individual studies such as moderation analysis, while providing a built-in replication for the reported efficacy of brief motivational interventions for college students. Data were pooled across 24 intervention studies, of which 21 included a comparison or control condition and all included one or more …
Parents' And Students' Perceptions Of College Alcohol Risk: The Role Of Parental Risk Perception In Intentions To Communicate About Alcohol, Lucy E. Napper, Elizabeth M. Grimaldi, Joseph W. Labrie
Parents' And Students' Perceptions Of College Alcohol Risk: The Role Of Parental Risk Perception In Intentions To Communicate About Alcohol, Lucy E. Napper, Elizabeth M. Grimaldi, Joseph W. Labrie
Heads Up!
Introduction: The current study aims to examine discrepancies in parents' and college students' perceptions of alcohol risk and the role of perceived risk in predicting parents' intentions to discuss alcohol with their child.
Methods: In total, 246 college student–parent dyads (56.1% female students, 77.2% mothers) were recruited from a mid-size university. Participants completed measures of absolute likelihood, comparative likelihood, and severity of alcohol consequences.
Results: In comparison to students, parents perceived the risks of alcohol poisoning (p < .001), academic impairment (p < .05), and problems with others (p < .05) to be more likely. In addition, parents rated the majority of alcohol consequences (e.g., passing out, regrettable sexual situation, throwing up) as more severe than students (all ps < .001). However, parents tended to be more optimistic than their child about the comparative likelihood of alcohol consequences. After controlling for demographics and past alcohol communication, greater absolute likelihood (β = .20, p = .016) and less confidence in knowledge of student behavior (β = .20, p = .013) predicted greater intentions to discuss alcohol.
Conclusions: Providing parents of college students with information about college drinking norms and the likelihood of alcohol consequences may help prompt alcohol-related communication.

First-Gen Voices: Creative and Critical Narratives on the First-Generation College Experience
This composition traces the history of Cuban-American cultural identity formation through the lens of music and dance. As the author explains, Cuban immigrants cultivated a rich music and dance culture in New York City by creating a series of Latin and Afro-Cuban music genres and dances that brought diverse groups of people together. As a Vietnamese-American woman, Tran sees several connections between her family’s Vietnamese heritage and the cultural histories of Cubans who came to the United States as refugees seeking asylum from political oppression. As a first-generation college student, Tran believes it is important to share this composition as …

First-Gen Voices: Creative and Critical Narratives on the First-Generation College Experience
This poem discusses the overwhelming pressure that is put on students to justify their right to be admitted into universities or to receive scholarships based on their extracurricular activities. Many working-class, first-generation college students are unable to participate in organizations and programs that offer students a more well-rounded college experience. This can lead first-gen students, like the author, to feel isolated, inadequate, or illegitimate. "Applications for Dummies" expresses Sanchez's incessant fear that she will never be able to compete with other students who were given the opportunity to build more worldly resumes, despite her strong academic commitment and intellectual potential.

It's Not Just A Leave, Genesis L. Montalvo
First-Gen Voices: Creative and Critical Narratives on the First-Generation College Experience
In this piece, the author sets out to explore the first-generation college identity through a gothic lens. In the early stages of this project, Montalvo had considered doing research on narratives from other first-gen college students as a way to trace the uncanny and the abject in their experiences. However, as she began reflecting on her own personal history, she realized that in a matter of only two years she had already experienced moments of distance, uncanniness, and confusion, which are recorded here. In presenting these installments in non-chronological order, Montalvo intends to insert a gothic element of disorder, which …

First-Gen Voices: Creative and Critical Narratives on the First-Generation College Experience
This poem illustrates the struggle of an undergraduate first-generation college student who knew little about the first-gen identity or the experiences she would encounter until she became a First To Go Scholar at Loyola Marymount University. The poet represents the First To Go Program as a flashlight that has helped her to navigate a once dark and unfamiliar environment.

First-Gen Voices: Creative and Critical Narratives on the First-Generation College Experience
There can sometimes be a gap between first-gen students and parents who have not experienced the stress of higher education. Children may believe this stress to be a necessary sacrifice for their future wellness; however, they often cannot feel their parents' sacrifices, just as their parents cannot feel their child's mental strain. Diaz creates this poem in an effort to examine her relationship with her mother from an outsider's point of view, in the end realizing that although her parents cannot always understand her experiences, they care and will support her decisions.

Knowledge Of Federal Regulations For Mental Health Research Involving Prisoners, Michael E. Mills
Knowledge Of Federal Regulations For Mental Health Research Involving Prisoners, Michael E. Mills
Psychological Science Faculty Works
BACKGROUND: Given their vulnerability to coercion and exploitation, prisoners who participate in research are protected by Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) regulations designed to ensure their safety and wellbeing. Knowledge of these regulations is essential for researchers who conduct and institutional review boards (IRBs) that oversee mental healthresearch in correctional settings.
METHODS: We explored depth of knowledge of OHRP regulations by surveying a nationwide sample of: (1) mental health researchers who have conducted research in correctional settings; (2) mental health researchers who have conducted research in non-correctional settings; (3) IRB members who have overseen mental health research in correctional …

Self-Models And Relationship Threat: A Test Of Risk Regulation Mechanisms, Máire Ford, Nancy L. Collins
Psychological Science Faculty Works
This study investigated a key claim of risk regulation theory, namely, that psychological internalizing of a relationship threat will serve as a mediator of the link between self-models (self-esteem and attachment anxiety) and relationship responses (moving closer to a partner vs. distancing from a partner). Participants (N = 101) received feedback that threatened their current romantic relationship (or no feedback) and then completed measures of internal–external focus, relationship closeness–distancing, and acceptance–rejection of the feedback. Results showed that participants with negative self-models responded to the relationship threat by becoming more internally focused and by distancing from their partners, whereas those with …
