Sep 28th 2023, 09:22

Abstract

Purpose
The dimensional model of adversity and psychopathology (DMAP) posits dimensions of childhood adversity (i.e., deprivation, threat) differentially predict child neurobiological outcomes. Both deprivation and threat are associated with higher child conduct problems. The present study explored whether dimensions of childhood adversity during the child’s first five years of life differentially conferred cognitive (i.e., working memory facet of executive dysfunction) and affective (i.e., anger dysregulation) risk (measured at child age 9) of developing child conduct problems at child age 15.

Method
Data are from The Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS), a longitudinal birth cohort study comprising 4,898 families.

Results
Two structural equation models were conducted utilizing lavaan in R. The first model examined direct effects of dimensions of adversity on adolescent conduct problems at age 15. The second model examined whether cognitive and affective outcomes at age 9 mediated the association between dimensions of adversity and adolescent conduct problems at age 15.

Conclusions
Consistent with the DMAP, findings indicated the link between higher deprivation and lower working memory was trending. Partially inconsistent with hypotheses, both higher deprivation and threat were associated with higher anger dysregulation. Higher anger dysregulation, but not working memory, was associated with higher adolescent conduct problems. Indirect effects suggested associations between both deprivation and threat and child conduct problems operated through higher dysregulation.

Sep 28th 2023, 09:14

Abstract
Borrowing from paradoxical leadership literature and using the case of a social enterprise formed from a traditional nonprofit, the present study identifies a set of multilevel skills that helped the leader address the two social–business tensions, namely, continuance as a nonprofit and the forming of a social enterprise and the sustenance of a social enterprise and preventing the drift towards a for-profit orientation during the formation of social enterprise and in its sustenance thereafter. The individual-level paradoxical leadership skill of balancing idealism and pragmatism, the organizational-level paradoxical leadership skill of navigating organizing contradictions, and the societal-level skill of gauging societal developments and their organizational implications helped address the two different manifestations of social–business tensions during the formation and sustenance of a social enterprise. Implications for paradoxical leadership, social–business tensions, and social enterprise literature are discussed.

Sep 28th 2023, 08:45

Abstract
This work analyses the contribution of ages and causes of death to gender gap in life expectancy in 20 European and non-European countries between 1959 and 2015, using Functional Data Analysis. Data were retrieved from the WHO Mortality Database and from the Human Mortality Database. We propose a Functional Principal Component Analysis of the age profiles of cause-specific contributions, to identify the main components of the distribution of the age-specific contributions according to causes of death, and to summarize them with few components. Our findings show that the narrowing gender gap in life expectancy was mainly driven by decreasing differences in cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, the study reveals that the age cause contributions act almost entirely on only two dimensions: level (extent of the cause-specific contribution to the overall mortality gender gap) and age pattern (location of the curves across ages). Notably, in the last period, it is not the “quantum” of the cause-specific contributions that matters, but the “timing”, i.e. location across the age spectrum. Moreover, our results show that in the most recent period the gender gap in life expectancy is affected by composition of the causes of death more than it was in previous periods. We emphasise that Functional Data Analysis could prove useful to deepen our understanding of complex demographic phenomena.

Sep 28th 2023, 07:44

Abstract
Much resilience research in young children focuses on high-risk samples with marked adversity despite the broad acknowledgement that all children, regardless of levels of adversity experienced, have opportunities to engage in resilience processes (Avdagic et al., 2018; Ungar, 2019). To advance understanding of “everyday resilience”, the current study explores resilience qualitatively in a convenience sample of kindergarten children who were not selected on basis of a risk factor. Caregivers (n = 91) answered a phone interview question in which they were asked to; “Describe a time when your child overcame a difficult situation.” Responses to this indirect assessment of resilience were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Although participants were asked to speak about resilience indirectly, responses were largely consistent with well-established conceptualizations of resilience, including the social-ecological framework for resilience. Indeed, caregivers conceptualized childhood resilience as occurring across four main domains: change, peer(s), health, and rule following. In terms of resilience behaviours, caregivers reported a mix of child- and adult-initiated strategies: the most frequently reported child-initiated resilience strategies were seeking adult support and confronting the adversity, and the most common adult-initiated strategies included verbal collaboration with the child regarding the adversity and problem-solving. Findings support the use of indirect measures of resilience to reduce socially desirable responding and capture detailed and nuanced responses.

Sep 28th 2023, 06:44

Abstract
Objectives
We tested whether generalized beliefs that the world is safe, abundant, pleasurable, and progressing (termed “primal world beliefs”) are associated with several objective measures of privilege.
Methods
Three studies (N = 16,547) tested multiple relationships between indicators of privilege—including socioeconomic status, health, sex, and neighborhood safety—and relevant world beliefs, as well as researchers and laypeople’s expectations of these relationships. Samples were mostly from the USA and included general population samples (Study 2) as well as focused samples of academic researchers (Study 1) and people who had experienced serious illness or trauma (Study 3).
Results
Studies 1–2 found mostly negligible relationships between world beliefs and indicators of privilege, which were invariably lower than researcher predictions (e.g., instead of the expected r = 0.33, neighborhood affluence correlated with Abundant world belief at r = 0.01). Study 3 found that people who had experienced serious illness (cancer, cystic fibrosis) only showed modest differences in beliefs from controls.
Conclusions
While results do not preclude that some individuals’ beliefs were meaningfully affected by life events, they imply that such changes are smaller or less uniform than widely believed and that knowing a person’s demographic background may tell us relatively little about their beliefs (and vice versa).

Sep 28th 2023, 06:44

Abstract
We investigated the effects of differential and nondifferential reinforcers on divided control by compound-stimulus dimensions. Six pigeons responded in a delayed matching-to-sample procedure in which a blue or yellow sample stimulus flashed on/off at a fast or slow rate, and subjects reported its color or alternation frequency. The dimension to report was unsignaled (Phase 1) or signaled (Phase 2). Correct responses were reinforced with a probability of .70, and the probability of reinforcers for errors varied across conditions. Comparison choice depended on reinforcer ratios for correct and incorrect responding; as the frequency of error reinforcers according to a dimension increased, control (measured by log d) by that dimension decreased and control by the other dimension increased. Davison and Nevin’s (1999) model described data when the dimension to report was unsignaled, whereas model fits were poorer when it was signaled, perhaps due to carryover between conditions. We are the first to test this quantitative model of divided control with reinforcers for errors and when the dimension to report is signaled; hence, further research is needed to establish the model’s generality. We question whether divided stimulus control is dimensional and suggest it may instead reflect joint control by compound stimuli and reinforcer ratios.

Sep 28th 2023, 05:44

Abstract
The voices of autistic young people are frequently excluded from transition planning and decision-making, especially when they have more complex needs and may not use speech to communicate. The aim of this research, based at a residential special school in England, was to extend and evaluate the use of the ‘I am’ Digital Stories methodology. ‘I am’ Digital Stories are short (c.3–5 min) videos that use a strengths-based framework to support the sharing of voice, experiences, and preferences in visual form. ‘I am’ Digital Stories is an accessible and inclusive methodology that enables young people to present their ‘best selves’ to people in new settings who are meeting them for the first time. Digital Stories were co-created with and/or for three young adults aged 18–19, their families and the school, and shared with stakeholders as part of the transition to post-school contexts. Reflexive thematic analysis of data from 17 semi-structured interviews with stakeholders resulted in five themes: benefits of Digital Stories, humanising approach; ownerships and agency, ethical considerations and direct impact on practice. Stakeholders highlighted how powerful the ‘I am’ Digital Stories were for gaining a fuller, more humanising understanding of the young person that was unavailable or impossible via other sources.

Sep 28th 2023, 03:43

Abstract
Episodic memory (EM) and working memory (WM) are negatively affected by healthy ageing, and additional memory impairment typically occurs in clinical ageing-related conditions such as amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Recent studies on musical mnemonics in Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) showed promising results on EM performance. However, the effects of musical mnemonics on WM performance have not yet been studied in (a)MCI or AD. Particularly in (a)MCI the use of musical mnemonics may benefit the optimisation of (working) memory performance. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the effects of musical presentation of digits consisting of pre-recorded rhythms, sung unfamiliar pitch sequences, and their combinations, as compared to spoken presentation. Furthermore, musical expertise was assessed with two perceptual tests and the Self-Report Inventory of the Goldsmiths Musical Sophistication Index. Thirty-two persons with aMCI and 32 cognitively unimpaired older adults (OA) participated in this study. Confirming and extending previous findings in research on ageing, our results show a facilitating effect of rhythm in both cognitively unimpaired OA and persons with aMCI (p = .001, ηp2 = .158). Furthermore, pitch (p = .048, ηp2 = .062) and melody (p = .012, ηp2 = .098) negatively affected performance in both groups. Musical expertise increased this beneficial effect of musical mnemonics (p = .021, ηp2 = .090). Implications for the future design of music-based memorisation strategies in (a)MCI are discussed.

Sep 28th 2023, 02:49

Abstract
A principal has n homogeneous objects to allocate to 
                      (I> n)
                     agents. The principal can allocate at most one good to an agent, and each agent values the good. Agents have private information about the principal’s payoff of allocating the goods. There are no monetary transfers, but the principal may check any agent’s value at a cost. In this setting, we propose a direct mechanism, called the n–ascending mechanism, which balances the benefit of efficient allocation and the cost of checking agents. While such a mechanism itself is not obviously strategy-proof, we show that its outcome is easily implementable by an extensive game which has an equilibrium in obviously dominant strategies. When 
                      (n = 2,)
                     we show that the 2-ascending mechanism is essentially the unique optimal mechanism that maximizes the principal’s expected net payoff.

Sep 28th 2023, 02:49

Abstract
The educational landscape for U.S. students with disabilities demonstrates a historic struggle for equity. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and virtual learning, exacerbated these disparities. This article interrogates Articles 25 and 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights  to examine how education for students with disabilities has been protected or ignored during the global pandemic. While the U.S. boasts education and opportunity for all, the effects of COVID-19 and virtual learning demonstrate glaring oversights in relation to disability accommodations. School social workers play an integral role in interventions for students with disabilities and facilitating equal access to quality education. As such, this article posits that school social workers should engage and advocate for classroom pedagogy reform, SEL implementation with fidelity, inclusive evaluations, and increasing supportive services to help mediate the effects of learning and behavior regression. This article is exigent for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in ensuring educational equity.

Sep 28th 2023, 02:48

Abstract
Common-pool resources (CPR) are shared by multiple individuals. Many natural or manmade CPRs are limited: maximization of their use for individual gain may bring negative consequences for all users. The current study simulated CPR management by children, with a digital game. The player extracted fish (CPR) using three types of cards varying in extraction power. Fishing returned points needed to remain “alive” in the game. In a baseline with unlimited and unshared resources, children used predominantly the most powerful card, with shorter interresponse time between successive fishing responses. An intervention phase followed, when resources were limited and shared with virtual players. A vertical bar signaled the number of fish, which decreased with extraction and increased periodically to simulate fish reproduction. With continued experience in the game, five of six children succeeded in moderating the extraction rhythm, earning enough points to stay “alive” in the game and avoiding CPR exhaustion. Their strategies combined decreasing the use of the most powerful card and increasing the frequency of longer IRTs, which allowed for regeneration of resources. Continued exposure to the contingencies shaped a more sustainable behavior. For most natural resources, however, it is not possible to shape sustainable extraction by repeated exposure to negative consequences, because resources may be permanently exhausted. The simulation of CPR management by children may, however, reveal variables and processes involved in sustainable behavior and may also be a valuable educational tool to teach sustainable behavior and the dangers of irresponsible use of CPR.

Sep 28th 2023, 02:48

Abstract

Purpose
Providers focused on intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual assault have increasingly added chat/text components to their phone hotline services. Despite increasing use of chat/text modalities on violence-focused hotlines, little is known about their use, especially with respect to user perspectives and experiences.

Methods
Data are from an evaluation of chat/text hotline services at a large community-based IPV and sexual assault agency in the southwest U.S. Interviews (n = 16) and surveys (n = 171) with service users, and chat/text transcripts (n = 396) were data sources for this study.

Results
The following four themes articulate user-defined service experiences: 1) Chat/text hotlines can offer a safer way to reach out for help, especially when phone calls are not an option; 2) Relative to voice calls, chat/text hotlines create a more accessible modality of support for some survivors and community members; 3) Chat/text hotline staff foster support and connection; and 4) Chat/text hotline staff provide resources and guidance needed to address impacts of violence and prevent future harm. While chat/text hotline users overwhelmingly had positive experiences, service user experiences were dampened when staff skills and/or resource access were perceived as inadequate.

Conclusions
Survivor interviews and chat/text transcripts demonstrate the positive impact of these options for enhancing survivor access to resources, providing additional safe avenues for service engagement, and meeting survivor needs for an empathic, quick connection with an advocate. Training, resource support, and adequate staffing on chat/text hotlines can enhance survivor experiences and improve safety outcomes.

Sep 28th 2023, 02:48

Abstract
I will here pick up on a suggestion made by Greve (2023) in this journal, namely that a proper understanding of lifespan development means defending a non-reductionist psychology taking biological processes seriously, but without reducing psychology to physiology. I will here suggest and argue for the use of niche construction theory as a way of providing a psychological theoretical perspective on lifespan development broad enough to contain both naturalistic and normative elements in a non-reductionist manner.

Sep 28th 2023, 02:48

Summary
Challenge and hindrance appraisals are important to understand the effect of job demands. To date, challenge and hindrance appraisals have been studied in tandem. However, it is unknown whether, how, and when the two appraisals jointly affect employee performance. Integrating effort justification theory and goal orientation theory, the current manuscript seeks to investigate the three-way interaction effects of challenge appraisal, hindrance appraisal, and both performance-prove goal orientation and learning goal orientation on task performance via job meaningfulness and activated positive emotions. In a diary study among 96 employees over 10 consecutive workdays (NOccasion = 960, NEmployee = 96), we found that at the daily level, hindrance appraisal strengthens (a) the effects of challenge appraisal of job demands on job meaningfulness and activated positive emotions and (b) the indirect effects of challenge appraisal on task performance via job meaningfulness and activated positive emotions. Furthermore, the strengthening effects of hindrance appraisal are more pronounced as individual trait performance-prove goal orientation increases, but they do not vary as individual trait learning goal orientation decreases. These research findings shed light on effort justification in explaining the interaction effects of challenge and hindrance appraisals and the role of goal orientation in the process.

Sep 28th 2023, 02:47

Successful leaders are at risk of developing exaggerated pride, contempt for others, and a diminished sense of reality. The ancient Greeks feared this syndrome and called it hubris. Although certain contemporaneous leaders show signs of hubris and pose a great danger, the hubris syndrome does not yet figure in our classification systems. The purpose of this paper is to examine several aspects of its validity, including clinical description, laboratory study, and exclusion of other disorders. Firstly, a substantial body of evidence indicates that the hubris syndrome may develop after a person has held substantial power for a considerable amount of time. Thus, the syndrome differs from a personality disorder with its characteristic onset in late adolescence or early adulthood. It is proposed, therefore, that the syndrome is a non-organic personality change after gaining substantial power or achieving overwhelming success, characterized by the emergence or marked increase of pathological personality traits within the domains of dissociality and disinhibition. Within the domain of dissociality, grandiosity is an obligatory trait. Secondly, with reference to laboratory study, recent evidence suggests that machine learning algorithms have the ability to differentiate hubristic from non-hubristic speech patterns. Thirdly, the exclusion of other disorders is difficult, because individuals with the hubris syndrome do not collaborate in any investigation. Some suggestions are made to overcome this problem. In conclusion, there is sufficient reason to further examine the validity of the hubris syndrome and to consider it for inclusion in our classification systems.

Sep 28th 2023, 02:47

Abstract
Person-centred planning (PCP) is both a philosophy and method of service delivery across varied contexts. It is used in pathway planning for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to promote positive transition outcomes. Due to idiosyncratic use, it is unclear how PCP meetings are organised and structured and to what extent this reflects fidelity to PCP as a philosophy. It is also unclear how young people experience PCP meetings and how this impacts transition. To explore this further, a systematic literature review was undertaken from which six studies were included and their data reported using PRISMA guidelines. Drawing upon Gestalt theory as an interpretive lens, findings from these studies suggest that PCP meetings comprise intersecting ‘foreground’ and ‘background’ elements, making PCP meetings a complex space requiring skilled facilitation. Limitations and recommendations for further research and practice are included.

Sep 28th 2023, 02:47

Abstract
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth with disabilities are at risk for being cyberbullied. Additionally, these risks can be compounded by other intersectional factors, such as cultural identity. Youth with multiple marginalized identities are at risk for stress, discrimination, and poor mental health outcomes as a result of bullying. However, research exploring the intersections between risk, sexual identity, and disability is sparse. In this article, we begin to address this gap in a diverse sample of lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth who have reported being cyberbullied in the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System. We discuss implications for child and family studies, identifying opportunities for further discussion on risk, mental health, and person-in-environment factors for lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth with disabilities.

Sep 28th 2023, 02:47

Abstract
Parents of children with cancer face a high level of distress. One contributing factor to this is their need to make life-altering treatment decisions. To understand specific variables that may contribute to parents’ distress and decision-making preferences, we assessed correlations between parent anxiety, decision-making preferences, personal variables (gender, age, education, socioeconomic, occupational status), cancer characteristics (type, stage, time since diagnosis), existing support system, and trust in the medical staff. Sixty-nine parents of children with cancer during the first year after diagnosis were recruited to the study during hospitalization in a large medical center. Anxiety was measured by the State-Trait Anxiety inventory, decision-making preferences were assessed by the Control Preferences Scales for Pediatrics, support system and trust were measured by questionnaires developed for the present study. Parents’ anxiety level was significantly higher than the general population, especially for state anxiety. Higher socioeconomic status and greater extent of employment of the spouse related to higher levels of state anxiety. Anxiety did not relate to any of the cancer properties, nor to the amount of support the parents had or their trust in the medical staff. Parents’ level of education positively related with willingness to take part in decision-making, as well as with trust in the medical staff. The results emphasize the importance of trust in and the support of the medical and psychosocial staff and the need to be attuned to different parents’ needs to increase this trust.

Sep 28th 2023, 02:47

Abstract
Using Sharpe’s (2016) wake work theory, this paper highlights how one Black undocumented student used a study abroad experience to negotiate his dis/comfort and take up ontological space a liminal space. I argue that choosing to study abroad while risking uncertain access back in the United States is wake work. Escaping the wake, albeit short, was an intentional move to resist his liminal space, given his Blackness and immigration status. Findings reveal wake work occurred through (1) Movement: The beginning, (2) The escape, and (3) The return: Re-entering the wake.
Practical Takeaways

Study abroad programs should assess how they are being inclusive in engaging undocumented students about these programs and identify successful practices and approaches to support those interested.
Universities should partner with schools and independent organizations that provide study abroad opportunities for undocumented students. For example, the California-Mexico Studies provides three academic programs for undocumented students 21 years and older to study abroad for 4 weeks in Mexico.
Because DACA is a renewable program under the Obama-era, no new students can apply for DACA which means more students entering higher education will be undocumented without DACA. As we enter a post DACA era, universities and study abroad programs will need to create and implement global learning programs and opportunities for undocumented students.
Scholars working with, and alongside undocumented students should use more asset-based theories and methodologies to highlight the experiences of Black undocumented students in higher education (see Santa-Ramirez, 2021, 2022; Shelton & Thompson, 2023).

Sep 28th 2023, 02:46

Abstract
Individuals and communities worldwide have been affected by COVID-19, resulting in stress and emotional instability. Families faced a massive disruption of daily routines, with increased psychological problems for both parents and children. In this cross-sectional study, we explored the emotional impact that health crises have had on Italian families, and in particular on mothers. Nine hundred and seventy-five Italian mothers of children aged 3–18 years participated in this study by completing a survey about maternal and child mental health. The mother’s psychological state was assessed using the GHQ and the PSS, while the children’s psychological state with the SDQ. We also collected family socio-demographic information. We conducted a path analysis through structural equation modeling on this data, with the hypothesis that socio-demographic variables and mothers’ psychological state were related, as well as mothers’ psychological condition and children’s well-being. Our results demonstrated how, during the lockdown, mothers reported a worsening in their psychological state. Furthermore, we found that both educational level and housing type were positively associated with maternal psychological well-being, while remote working was associated with decreased well-being. Maternal mental health had a strong relationship with reported children’s psychological problems. Mothers’ perceived stress was related to decreased prosociality and increased hyperactivity, emotional difficulties, and behavioral problems, while mothers’ general discomfort and depression were related to increased peer problems and emotional problems. This result supports helping mothers find a new balance between work, family, and children as a way to improve family functioning and well-being, as well as children’s mental health and resilience.

Sep 28th 2023, 02:22

Abstract
Self-Rated Health (SRH) is currently one of the most popular indicators of population health. Studies show that SRH has a strong association with physical functioning, well-being, and mortality across a variety of populations and ages. Despite its wide use, the different elements that act and interact when an individual assesses their own health are still not clear. To date, only one study has focused on the process of self-assessment of health among the oldest-old individuals. The aim of this paper is to explore direct and indirect effects of socioeconomic status, presence of disease, functional health, and emotional health on the good self-assessment of health among Italian nonagenarians. By applying Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) on Mugello Study data, we find a strong direct effect of both emotional and functional health on SRH, confirming their key roles in the process of self-assessment of health among the oldest-old individuals. Furthermore, we find indirect effects of socioeconomic status, presence of disease, and functional health on SRH. This is in line with existing literature on younger adults and elderly people.

Sep 28th 2023, 00:44

Abstract
Research examining how youth substance use is associated with both proximal microsystemic processes (interactions with family members) and distal macrosystemic conditions (rurality) is limited. To address this gap, a person-/variable-centered approach was used to: (1) identify latent profiles of family risk and protective factors for substance use, (2) test profile membership as a predictor of lifetime and 30-day substance use, (3) test rurality, as measured by school geographic location, as a predictor, and (4) explore interaction effects between profile membership and rurality. Youth (N = 9,104; 53% female) residing in a state in the southeastern U.S. completed a statewide substance abuse and risk behavior survey including questions about family risk and protective factors and substance use behaviors. Using latent profile analysis to identify subgroups of participants with similar means and variances on the family factors, four latent profiles emerged. Risk of 30-day and lifetime substance use varied across profiles, with the profile characterized by high family-level protective factors and low family-level risk factors indicating the lowest risk for substance use. Urban youth had increased odds of reporting lifetime marijuana use compared to suburban youth; however, geographic location did not appear to confer significantly increased or decreased risk across other substances. No significant interaction results were found. These results emphasize the importance of family functioning on substance use regardless of geographic location, and that evidence-based prevention programming that reduces family risk, strengthens family protection, and is accessible to all types of communities is important to reducing or delaying substance use among youth.
