A Thoughtful Discourse On Sexuality Education: A Review Of The Sexuality Curriculum And Youth Culture, Amanda E. Ramirez, Nicholas C. Heck
A Thoughtful Discourse On Sexuality Education: A Review Of The Sexuality Curriculum And Youth Culture, Amanda E. Ramirez, Nicholas C. Heck
Psychology Faculty Research and Publications
The present article reviews Carlson and Roseboro's (2011) The Sexuality Curriculum and Youth Culture. The book analyzes factors that influence the sexuality curriculum within today's heteronormative culture, and it is particularly useful for teachers, school administrators, and educators in training. Overall, this book thoughtfully raises awareness about the influences of heterosexist norms and homophobia within the context of traditional education systems.
A Comparison Of Sexual Minority Youth Who Attend Religiously Affiliated Schools And Their Nonreligious-School-Attending Counterparts, Brandon T. Stewart, Nicholas C. Heck, Bryan N. Cochran
A Comparison Of Sexual Minority Youth Who Attend Religiously Affiliated Schools And Their Nonreligious-School-Attending Counterparts, Brandon T. Stewart, Nicholas C. Heck, Bryan N. Cochran
Psychology Faculty Research and Publications
Sexual minority youth are an at-risk group for negative health outcomes. The present study compares descriptive characteristics and outness of sexual minority youth who attend religious schools to sexual minorities who do not attend religious schools, and also investigates if attending religiously affiliated schools is associated with levels of alcohol use and school belonging among sexual minority youth. Results indicated that sexual minority youth attending religiously affiliated schools reported more alcohol-related problems and were less likely to be “out” to students and teachers at their schools when compared to their nonreligious-school-attending counterparts. Attendance at a religiously affiliated school was not …
College Students’ Perceptions Of Individuals With Anorexia Nervosa: Irritation And Admiration, Danielle M. Geerling, Stephen M. Saunders
College Students’ Perceptions Of Individuals With Anorexia Nervosa: Irritation And Admiration, Danielle M. Geerling, Stephen M. Saunders
Psychology Faculty Research and Publications
Background: Stigmatizing attitudes against anorexia nervosa (AN) may act as barriers to treatment.
Aims: Evaluated college students’ perceptions of AN as compared to major depressive disorder (MDD).
Method: One-hundred two female undergraduates read vignettes describing targets with mild or severe MDD or AN, then rated biological, vanity, and self-responsibility attributions; feelings of admiration, sympathy, and anger; and behavioral dispositions toward coercion into treatment, imitation, and social distance.
Results: AN was perceived more negatively than MDD in terms of vanity attributions, self-responsibility attributions, and feelings of anger, but more positively in terms of admiration and imitation.
Conclusions …
Individual Differences In The Experience Of Cognitive Workload, Stephen J. Guastello, Anton Shircel, Matthew Malon, Paul Timm
Individual Differences In The Experience Of Cognitive Workload, Stephen J. Guastello, Anton Shircel, Matthew Malon, Paul Timm
Psychology Faculty Research and Publications
This study investigated the roles of four psychosocial variables – anxiety, conscientiousness, emotional intelligence, and Protestant work ethic – on subjective ratings of cognitive workload as measured by the Task Load Index (TLX) and the further connections between the four variables and TLX ratings of task performance. The four variables represented aspects of an underlying construct of elasticity versus rigidity in response to workload. Participants were 141 undergraduates who performed a vigilance task under different speeded conditions while working on a jigsaw puzzle for 90 minutes. Regression analysis showed that anxiety and emotional intelligence were the two variables most proximally …

Maternal Functioning Differences Based On Adhd Subtype, Kelsey Ann Weinberger, Denise M. Gardner, Alyson C. Gerdes
Maternal Functioning Differences Based On Adhd Subtype, Kelsey Ann Weinberger, Denise M. Gardner, Alyson C. Gerdes
Psychology Faculty Research and Publications
Objective: Maternal functioning differences in parenting stress, parental efficacy, and parenting behaviors were examined for mothers of children with ADHD. Method: Participants included 29 mothers of children with ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Type (ADHD-I) and 38 mothers of children with ADHD, Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive or Combined Type (ADHD-HI/C). Results: Findings suggest that mothers of children with ADHD-HI/C reported significantly greater parenting stress and engaged in more negative parenting behaviors than mothers of children with ADHD-I. Conclusion: This study suggests that tailoring behavioral parent training based on ADHD subtype may be particularly helpful for parents of children with ADHD-HI/C.
Exoffender Accounts Of Successful Reentry From Prison, Heather R. Hlavka, Darren Wheelock, Richard S. Jones
Exoffender Accounts Of Successful Reentry From Prison, Heather R. Hlavka, Darren Wheelock, Richard S. Jones
Social and Cultural Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
Reentry research often focuses on those who have recidivated, with little work addressing the experiences of those who successfully reintegrate into their communities. This study examines individual accounts of successful transitions from prison to community in the months and years postrelease. Interview data point to three metanarratives used to make sense of reentry: as reverence, as reunification, and as reconstruction. In different ways, each narrative centers on connections to important others through faith, family, or community. We discuss the legitimacy of the self-narratives offered, and add to a growing body of work exploring reentry via the lens of the exoffender.
The Role Of Alcohol In Violence: The Individual, Small Group, Community And Cultural Level, Aleksandra J. Snowden
The Role Of Alcohol In Violence: The Individual, Small Group, Community And Cultural Level, Aleksandra J. Snowden
Social and Cultural Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
The goal of this paper is to review our understanding of the role that alcohol plays in violence. This paper provides a literature review of various theoretical mechanisms and of empirical tests of those theoretical propositions across four different levels of analysis: individual, small group, community, and cultural. Alcohol-violence association is evident in not only the individuals who consume alcohol, but also in the social interactions of those individuals, the communities, and the countries in which those individuals live. Acknowledging the alcohol-violence association at one level, without considering the influence of alcohol on violence at other levels, fails to capture …
Commentary: Applying Positive Development Principles To Group Interventions For The Promotion Of Family Resilience In Pediatric Psychology, Jessica C. Kichler, Astrida S. Kaugars
Commentary: Applying Positive Development Principles To Group Interventions For The Promotion Of Family Resilience In Pediatric Psychology, Jessica C. Kichler, Astrida S. Kaugars
Psychology Faculty Research and Publications
As described in the call for this special issue, resilience is often defined as “achieving one or more positive outcomes despite exposure to significant risk or adversity” (Hilliard, Harris, & Weissberg-Benchell, 2012, p. 739). Resilience is particularly relevant to pediatric psychology, as youth and their families are tasked with overcoming risk factors simply by the nature of a child’s diagnosis of a disease/chronic illness and subsequent medical management demands. In addition to identifying key resilience factors within this population, it is critical to develop empirically supported clinical interventions to promote healthy biological, psychological, and social development; reduce youth psychopathology; and …
Discrepancy Between Parents And Children In Reporting Of Distress And Impairment: Association With Critical Symptoms, Laura Bein, Megan Lynn Petrik, Stephen M. Saunders, James V. Wojcik
Discrepancy Between Parents And Children In Reporting Of Distress And Impairment: Association With Critical Symptoms, Laura Bein, Megan Lynn Petrik, Stephen M. Saunders, James V. Wojcik
Psychology Faculty Research and Publications
Background: We examined discrepant parent–child reports of subjective distress and psychosocial impairment.
Method: Parent–child pairs (N = 112 pairs) completed the Health Dynamics Inventory at intake for outpatient therapy.
Results: Average parent scores were significantly higher than average child scores on distress, impairment, and externalizing symptoms, but not internalizing symptoms. There were significant associations between parent–child discrepancy (i.e. children who reported greater distress or impairment than parents or vice versa) and child endorsement of several notable symptoms (rapid mood swings, panic, nightmares, and suicidal ideation).
Conclusion: Parents tended to report more externalizing symptoms, distress, and impairment than children reported; …
When Auditory And Visual Signal Processing Conflict: Cross-Modal Interference In Extended Work Periods, Stephen J. Guastello, Katherine Reiter, Matthew Malon, Anton Shircel
When Auditory And Visual Signal Processing Conflict: Cross-Modal Interference In Extended Work Periods, Stephen J. Guastello, Katherine Reiter, Matthew Malon, Anton Shircel
Psychology Faculty Research and Publications
Auditory and visual stimuli presented at intervals of about 300 m sec often produce miss errors in one or the other channel, which result from a bottleneck in a neural circuit associated with executive memory. The present study examined the possibility that cross-modal interference could carry over to performance units that transpire over 3 min or longer. An N-back task performed by 113 undergraduates with simultaneous auditory and visual stimuli was organised into 1-min blocks of 20 trials in 2-back and 3-back conditions. Results showed that impairment of visual processing was more frequent than impairment of auditory processing under …
Law Enforcement As Legal Mobilization: Reforming The Pharmaceutical Industry Through Government Litigation, Paul Nolette
Law Enforcement As Legal Mobilization: Reforming The Pharmaceutical Industry Through Government Litigation, Paul Nolette
Political Science Faculty Research and Publications
Scholars of legal mobilization have long explored how litigation is used as a resource for social and political change. While most studies focus on the actions of private groups, this article considers law enforcement as a form of legal mobilization. Employing a case study of recent pharmaceutical litigation, this article examines how prosecutors have mobilized the law to reshape corporate responsibilities in the prescription drug industry. Prosecutors' litigation campaigns have forced changes in organizational practices, expanded the scope of the conflict over pharmaceutical industry actions, and established new legal norms that have spread throughout the political system. This form of …

Revenue Sharing And Within-Team Payroll Inequality In Major League Baseball, Nicholas A. Jolly
Revenue Sharing And Within-Team Payroll Inequality In Major League Baseball, Nicholas A. Jolly
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
Using data from the 2000 to 2012 Major League Baseball seasons, this article investigates how changes to revenue sharing in the 2007 collective bargaining agreement altered within-team payroll inequality. Results indicate that inequality within teams decreased after the 2007 bargaining agreement. This reduced inequity is concentrated among those teams that were already experiencing relatively higher levels of inequality. This indicates that changes to revenue sharing should help increase competitive balance within the league. Additionally, the reduction in inequality occurs only among hitters and not pitchers. These results highlight how collective bargaining can have heterogeneous effects on groups of workers despite …
Curbing Corruption, Financial Development And Income Inequality, Sourav Batabyal, Abdur Chowdhury
Curbing Corruption, Financial Development And Income Inequality, Sourav Batabyal, Abdur Chowdhury
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
In recent years, many of the Commonwealth countries have experienced a reduction in income inequalities due to the development of financial markets and intermediaries. At the same time, widespread corruption among public officials, civil servants, or politicians from these countries have been well documented. A key public policy question is whether the return to financial sector development at the level of massive corruption, exacerbate income inequality, offsetting the benefits of financial development. Using a panel data of 30 Commonwealth countries over the period of 1995–2008, it is found that the high rates of corruption in the Commonwealth countries are crowding …
Trade Liberalization And Trade Performance Of Environmental Goods: Evidence From Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Members, Qi He, Hong Fang, Miao Wang, Bo Peng
Trade Liberalization And Trade Performance Of Environmental Goods: Evidence From Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Members, Qi He, Hong Fang, Miao Wang, Bo Peng
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
In this article, we study the impact of trade liberalization, including reductions in both tariff and nontariff trade barriers, on environmental goods (EGs) exports. Using bilateral trade data from 20 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation members, we find that tariff reduction in an exporting country has a larger positive impact on its exports of EGs than tariff reduction in an importing country. Our results also show that a lower nontariff barrier in an importing country increases its imports of EGs. A considerable amount of heterogeneity also exists in subsample results based on countries’ income levels.
Theorizing The Social Provisioning Process Under Capitalism: Developing A Veblenian Theory Of Care For The Twenty-First Century, Andrew Cumbers, John B. Davis, Robert Mcmaster
Theorizing The Social Provisioning Process Under Capitalism: Developing A Veblenian Theory Of Care For The Twenty-First Century, Andrew Cumbers, John B. Davis, Robert Mcmaster
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
Thorstein Veblen highlighted a number of human instincts, one of which was the “parental bent.” In contrast to the other “positive” instincts, the parental bent is specifically other-regarding in that Veblen described it in terms of utilizing knowledge for the betterment of society. Veblen’s “parental bent” stresses the social embeddedness of humanity and the human instinct to care. Our ability to care is partially predicated on our social roles and the values embedded within those roles. Critically, this is influenced by the configuration of institutions within a society. Care is grossly under-valued. By drawing upon recent contributions to care in …
Factoring Emerging Markets Into The Relationship Between Global Liquidity And Commodities, Steven Landgraf, Abdur Chowdhury
Factoring Emerging Markets Into The Relationship Between Global Liquidity And Commodities, Steven Landgraf, Abdur Chowdhury
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
Purpose – What caused the mid-2000s world commodity price “bubble” and the recent commodity price growth? Some have suggested that rapid global industrial growth over the past decade is the key driver of price growth. Others have argued that high commodity prices are a result of excessively loose monetary policy. The purpose of this paper is to extend the current research in this area by incorporating emerging economies, the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) nations specifically, into global measures.
Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses a vector error correction (VEC) model and computes variance decomposition and impulse response functions (IRFs). …
Creative Women In Peru: Outliers In A Machismo World, Marta Mensa Torra, Jean M. Grow
Creative Women In Peru: Outliers In A Machismo World, Marta Mensa Torra, Jean M. Grow
College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications
Gender segregation begins early and is reinforced within the workplace. Advertising creative departments appear to have extreme gender segregation with women representing just 20% of all those working within creative departments worldwide. Yet, creativity does not depend on gender. Thus, the underrepresentation of women is particularly troubling. In Peru women comprise 3% to 10.4% of all people working in advertising creative, which suggests the situation for creative women in Peru is dire. In order to understand this phenomenon, and with the hope of finding solutions, this study uses in-depth interviews to explore the experiences of Peruvian women working in advertising …
Stratification Economics And Identity Economics, John B. Davis
Stratification Economics And Identity Economics, John B. Davis
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
Stratification economics represents an important new approach devoted to explaining economic inequality in terms of how social groups are separated or stratified along economic lines. This paper combines stratification economics with identity economics to address complications that the phenomenon of intersectionality – people having multiple social group identities – creates for stratification economics. It distinguishes two types of social identities recognized by social psychologists, categorical and relational social identities, and uses this distinction to explain how individuals’ personal identities, understood as ordered sets of social identities, can be seen to be both socially and self-constructed. Individuals order and rank their …
Agency And The Process Aspect Of Capability Development: Individual Capabilities, Collective Capabilities, And Collective Intentions, John B. Davis
Agency And The Process Aspect Of Capability Development: Individual Capabilities, Collective Capabilities, And Collective Intentions, John B. Davis
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
This paper addresses the process aspect of capability development in connection with the debate in the capability approach over the relationship between individual and collective capabilities by combining Sen’s ‘privateness’ interpretation of different aspects of the self and Granovetter’s social embeddedness framework. It interprets Sen’s commitment aspect of the self in collective intentionality terms, uses this to explain his view of ‘identification with’ social groups, and then uses social identity theory’s distinction between relational and categorical social group identities to explain a general relationship between individual and collective capabilities. The paper applies this analysis to three broad domains of social …
The Impact Of Output And Exchange Rate Volatility On Fixed Private Investment: Evidence From Selected G7 Countries, Abdur Chowdhury, Mark Wheeler
The Impact Of Output And Exchange Rate Volatility On Fixed Private Investment: Evidence From Selected G7 Countries, Abdur Chowdhury, Mark Wheeler
Economics Faculty Research and Publications
This study examines the impact of shocks to exchange rate and output uncertainty (volatility) on real private fixed investment (FI) in Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. The analysis is conducted using vector autoregressive models that contain the price level, real output, the volatility of real output, the real exchange rate, the volatility of the real exchange rate, an interest rate and FI. The results yield important public policy implications with regard to the impact of output volatility of FI. Our analysis indicates that volatility shocks, measured as output volatility or exchange rate volatility, do not have …

Feelings Of Belonging: An Exploratory Analysis Of The Sociopolitical Involvement Of Black, Latina, And Asian/Pacific Islander Sexual Minority Women, Angelique Harris, Juan Battle, Antonio Jay Pastrana Jr., Jessie Daniels
Social and Cultural Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
This article compares and contrasts the sociopolitical involvement of Black, Latina, and Asian/Pacific Islander American sexual minority women within lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities of color. For the analysis, a sample of over 1,200 women from the Social Justice Sexuality project was analyzed. Findings indicate that, for all groups of women, feelings of connectedness to the LGBT community was the most significant predictor of sociopolitical involvement within LGBT communities of color.
