Sep 8th 2024, 12:24

Abstract
We present an approach to meta-analytic structural equation models that relies on hierarchical modeling of sample covariance matrices under the assumption that the matrices are Wishart. The approach handles the commonplace fixed- and random-effects meta-analytic SEMs, and solves the problem of dependent covariance matrices where more than one covariance matrix is obtained from a single study or study author. The ability of the approach to adequately recover parameters is examined via a simulation study. The approach is implemented in the bayesianmasem R package and a demonstration shows applications of the model.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:23

Global Social Policy, Ahead of Print. Access to education and health care are core development goals of the United Nations since its inception. Today, almost all countries have education and health systems in place. In former colonies, the historical roots of these systems can often be traced back to colonial times. In this article, we argue that spending on social services for the local population was seen as a necessary condition to expand the trade-based colonial economy especially in the initial stage of social services dating back to the interwar period. Using novel data on health and education expenditure in 35 former British and French African colonies during the height of their empires (1919–39), we show that trade volumes account for a large share in the variance of expenditure on education but not health services, and that present-day expenditures partly reflect these patterns. Our results suggest that similar mechanisms are at play within the two empires and differences between them are in degree rather than in kind.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:22

Group Processes &Intergroup Relations, Ahead of Print. Extended contact (i.e., knowledge that an ingroup member has a close relationship with an outgroup member) often improves relations between groups. In the current research, we argue that such contact can also undermine relations within groups. Specifically, we propose a “fraternizing with the enemy” effect in which the fraternizer is viewed negatively by other ingroup members. In five preregistered experiments (N = 2,035), we tested this effect in the context of political conflict using both real-world (Study 1) and fictitious (Studies 2–5) ingroup and outgroup members. Our results indicated that the fraternizer (vs. nonfraternizer) was viewed as less ideologically aligned with the ingroup, which in turn led to perceptions of this person as ambiguous and disloyal to the ingroup, and thereby elicited negative attitudes toward the fraternizer. We also found that, besides producing these negative effects, fraternizing with the enemy also produced the positive intergroup effects typically elicited by extended contact. We discuss the potential implications of our results for the effectiveness of extended contact in bridging political divides.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:22

Group Processes &Intergroup Relations, Ahead of Print. Although there has been significant research investigating the processes that facilitate how individuals work collectively as a team, there has been little attention to the specific behaviors that individual team members need to exhibit to support teamwork. Despite two such measures currently existing in the literature, both suffer from a few important limitations, which makes it difficult to ensure individual team members are contributing to the team and targeted for the most appropriate developmental efforts. Through a series of studies, we inductively develop the dimensions for such a measure, establish its convergent and discriminant validity against an established peer-evaluated measure, and then show how it fits in the nomological network of established teamwork measures. The resulting measure supports the strengths of a multi-source, peer-rated scale by capturing observable behaviors that can more clearly be evaluated by fellow group members and which are applicable to various organizational environments.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:22

Group Processes &Intergroup Relations, Ahead of Print. The aim of this research was to investigate interrelationships among social identity complexity, national glorification, and exclusion of immigrants, conceptualized as relational exclusivity. The concept of relational exclusivity reflects the conditions newcomers are expected to meet in order to be welcomed and allowed to settle in the host country. The findings across four studies (three correlational and one experimental; total N = 2,002) consistently indicated that complex identity is negatively, whereas glorification is positively, associated with relational exclusivity. Furthermore, in all studies, we consistently demonstrated that the relationship between social identity complexity and relational exclusivity is mediated by reduced glorification. Consequently, the findings suggest that social identity complexity has the capacity to reduce national glorification and, subsequently, indirectly reduce the exclusion of immigrants.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:22

Group Processes &Intergroup Relations, Ahead of Print. Three studies (N = 1,427) examine White Americans’ threat and stress appraisals and coping strategies in imagined inter- and intraracial interactions when a nearby White person does something racist. White individuals report heightened concern about being stereotyped as racist (i.e., metastereotyping) following an ingroup member’s stereotype-confirming (vs. neutral) behavior (Studies 1–3). Moreover, across studies, these heightened metastereotypes predict greater anxiety, which in turn predicts anticipated coping strategies (e.g., increased motivation to disprove the stereotype). Additionally, relative to imagined interactions with a White partner, these consequences of witnessing a White person’s anti-Black bias are significantly stronger with a Black or Latinx (Studies 1 and 2) but not an Asian (Study 3, preregistered) interaction partner. This work highlights how an ingroup member’s racist behavior is a situational stressor for White people during intergroup encounters, engendering coping strategies to protect the self and manage the ensuing interaction.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:22

Health Promotion Practice, Ahead of Print. Purpose. Caring Text Messages (CTM) is an evidence-based intervention, developed by the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board, modeled after the Caring Contacts (CC) intervention. CC has been shown to prevent suicide deaths, attempts, ideation, and hospitalizations in a variety of settings. Method. Three sets of CTM were developed by American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) teens, college students, and veterans (tailored for each audience), which were reviewed by psychologists familiar with the intervention. To enroll in the service, participants texted a keyword to a text message short code and received two text messages per week with hopeful and encouraging messages. A robust multimedia social marketing campaign was designed to promote the service for each audience. Results. By September 2023, 387 participants enrolled in the Youth CTM intervention, 141 enrolled in the College CTM, and 31 enrolled in the Veterans CTM. Post surveys show elevated levels of user satisfaction. Conclusions. CTM can be tailored to reach populations at higher risk of suicide, including AI/AN youth, college students, and veterans, and connect them to culturally responsive peer and crisis support services. Continued monitoring and evaluation can guide next steps for marketing and outreach and will be useful to determine its impact on those who enroll.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:22

Health Promotion Practice, Ahead of Print. Health-related social needs (HRSNs), like unstable housing, inability to afford utilities, food insecurity, unreliable transportation, and lack of personal safety, profoundly affect people’s health and well-being. Between 2017 and 2022, awardees of the Accountable Health Communities Model (AHC) addressed the health-related social needs of Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries through screening, referral, and community navigation services. Using and sharing HRSN data between clinical and community partners was a critical component of these efforts. This article shares findings from focus groups and interviews with 19 AHC awardees and seven of their partners. It explores the following:1. Whether sharing HRSN data with clinical partners informed clinical care2. Successes and challenges related to sharing data with community-based organizations (CBOs) and clinical partners3. How awardees collected and used HRSN data to advance health equityHalf of awardees interviewed documented HRSNs in electronic health records and shared aggregated HRSN data with CBOs. HRSN data enabled some clinicians to adjust patient care, although most were uncertain about how to do so. Participants described how sharing HRSN data with communities informs program and funding priorities to improve equity. However, CBOs noted that they had limited incentive to participate in data-sharing platforms. Our work highlights opportunities to provide guidance to clinicians on how to use HRSN screening results in care, standardize HRSN screening results in electronic health records, and co-create data-sharing initiatives with CBOs and patients to ensure meaningful participation.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:22

Health Promotion Practice, Ahead of Print. Digital storytelling is an innovative approach that evaluators can adopt to expand their dissemination efforts. The stories use brief audio and video recordings, and they can be used to provide reflections on the perceived value, experiences, or impact of public health efforts. We offer tips for evaluators to add this tool to their portfolio using several traditional evaluation data collection techniques. We also discuss a series of planning considerations and lessons learned based on the experiences of an evaluation of a research capacity-building initiative.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:21

Health Promotion Practice, Ahead of Print. Recruiting women participants with criminal legal system involvement (CLSI) has always presented challenges, whether gaining access to them in prisons and jails or locating them after release. This research brief describes how the COVID-19 pandemic required us to change our recruitment strategies from previously successful approaches to a hybrid strategy using techniques from respondent-driven sampling (RDS) to recruit CLSI women. The RDS techniques, with internet social media, enabled us to capitalize on the community-based social networks of CLSI women to recruit 255 into our clinical trial of a health education intervention. This new avenue for recruitment can be useful beyond pandemic conditions.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:21

Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, Ahead of Print. Insecure attachment styles, widely recognized as negative predictors in most Western samples, have been found to impair marital satisfaction for individuals high in attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance. However, Chinese culture is more tolerant of some features of attachment avoidance, which may lead to different implications of attachment styles for marital relationships. Besides, considering that responses of the partner play a vital role in the interaction of intimate relationships, the current study examined how attachment styles affect marital satisfaction through perceived partner responsiveness (PPR). This study is based on dyadic data from 668 Chinese couples across six marital stages, whose average length of marriage was 15.22 years (ranging from 0.03 to 67.57 years, SD = 13.88). Using the actor-partner interdependence model (APIMeM) to analyze these data, results suggested that: (a) individuals’ attachment anxiety was negatively associated with marital satisfaction for both themselves and their partner, and these associations were partially mediated by PPR; (b) PPR was a full mediator of the positive association between individuals’ attachment avoidance and their own marital satisfaction; (c) wives’ PPR fully mediated the positive association between their attachment avoidance and their partner’s marital satisfaction, whereas husbands’ PPR partially mediated the positive association between their attachment avoidance and their partner’s marital satisfaction. These findings differ from previous studies based on Western samples and advance our understanding of how attachment styles are related to PPR and marital satisfaction in Chinese context, providing practical guidance on marital interactions for people with insecure attachment styles.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:21

Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, Ahead of Print. The vital role social relationships play in mental health and well-being has been well-documented. Disruption of an intimate bond through bereavement can be enduringly stressful, with loneliness featuring prominently, possibly compromising mental and physical health. We systematically reviewed studies examining loneliness across marital status groups, focusing on the widowed. The aim was to establish what is known about the prevalence of loneliness in widowhood, to compare loneliness between widowed and people with other marital statuses (divorced, married, never-married persons), and to investigate correlates of loneliness. Furthermore, our objective was to compare the empirical understanding of loneliness within the context of widowhood to how loneliness is addressed in contemporary grief literature. Searches were conducted via multiple, relevant databases. Studies investigating loneliness across marital statuses were considered if they included an adult, bereaved sample, were written in English, and used quantitative research methods. Thirty-eight studies met inclusion criteria. Widowhood was associated with a greater likelihood of loneliness. On average, the widowed were found to be lonelier than divorced, married, and never-married people. Additionally, correlates of loneliness were identified, including mental health adversities, lack of social support, recent loss, and gender. Comparing empirical information from the two domains of marital status and grief research contributes to a more comprehensive knowledge about loneliness and bereavement. However, evidence remains limited due to several methodological shortcomings, such as inconsistent use of comparison groups, insufficient control for bereaved individuals in non-widowed marital statuses, lack of prospective, longitudinal studies, unreported means, and the use of different measures of loneliness.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:21

Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, Ahead of Print. Sibling differentiation (or deidentification) is theoretically posited as a mechanism that reduces competition and comparison between siblings and thus fosters sibling harmony (i.e., more positivity and less negativity). Empirical research, however, reveals inconsistent findings regarding the links between sibling differentiation and youths’ sibling relationship qualities. The present study utilized a longitudinal dyadic design to investigate whether sibling differentiation promoted relational harmony or discord over time and to identify the reciprocal longitudinal linkages between older and younger siblings’ perceptions of differentiating from each other. Two waves of survey data were collected from 682 families (older siblings: 51% female, M = 15.67 years; younger siblings: 48% female, M = 13.14 years; and one parent: 85% mothers, M = 45.15 years at Time 1) in five Midwestern states in the U.S. Results suggested that adolescents who tried to differentiate more from their siblings perceived their relationships more negatively at follow-up. These findings held for both older and younger siblings and are consistent with prior cross-sectional research, but inconsistent with deidentification theory. Additionally, older and younger adolescent siblings’ differentiation efforts were mutually related over time, especially among siblings from same-gender dyads. The discussion focuses on the relational impact of sibling differentiation and the reciprocal influences of differentiation between consecutively-born siblings during adolescence.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:21

Journal of Service Research, Ahead of Print. Evidence shows that, in the aftermath of cyberattacks, organizations usually accept responsibility for having failed to protect stakeholders’ data more effectively. While this strategy is reasonable in many circumstances, research suggests that it would be unsuitable in situations where the data breach is caused exclusively by criminal actors, what scholars refer to as a “victim crisis.” We argue that, in this type of situations, organizations can apologize while claiming victimhood. We present a model of moderated mediation explaining the persuasiveness of this strategy as a response to cyberattacks. In five experiments, we show that an apology claiming victimhood outperforms an apology accepting or rejecting responsibility. However, claiming victimhood is effective only when evidence of harm is provided and when the organization cannot be construed as being partly responsible for the attack. Furthermore, claiming victimhood is more effective if the focal organization is perceived as virtuous and the cybercriminal as very competent. The study contributes to the literature on service failure and recovery by offering the first account of how claims of victimhood can be deployed effectively. Furthermore, the study raises important managerial implications by proposing a novel communication strategy that can be deployed in the aftermath of cyberattacks.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:21

Journal of Service Research, Ahead of Print. Recent research has shown that consumers tend to behave more unethically when encountering artificial intelligence (AI) agents than with human agents. Nevertheless, few studies have explored the differential impact of AI agents on unethical consumer behavior. From the perspective of the power relationship between AI and consumers, we classify the role of an AI agent as that of a “servant” or “partner.” Across one field study and four scenario-based experiments (offline and online), we reveal that consumers are more likely to engage in unethical behavior when encountering servant AI agents than partner AI agents due to increased anticipatory moral disengagement. We also identify the boundary conditions for the moral disengagement effect of AI agents, finding that this effect is attenuated (a) among consumers with high moral identity, (b) with human-like AI agents, and (c) in the context of high behavioral visibility. This research provides new insight into the AI morality literature and has practical implications for service agencies using AI agents.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:20

Journal of Service Research, Ahead of Print. The idea of conceptualizing services as a type of discrete entity that are different from goods provided the initial conceptual foundation of service research. Today, this foundation has been denounced and replaced by the service-dominant logic (SDL), which suggests that service is a logic reffering to how resources are integrated by actors in order to cocreate value-in-use. However, researchers and practitioners still commonly refer to services as a type of discrete entity. To facilitate the understanding of services, this paper develops a services-as-practices (SaP) framework consisting of six propositions. Key to the SaP framework is the fact that services are conceptualized as bundles of value cocreation practices (VCPs). These VCPs are organized and recurring activities that are intended to cocreate value, but they can also codestroy (i.e., diminish) value when performed. The SaP framework contributes to service research by developing: (1) a novel conceptualization of services that realizes the long-lasting opportunity to understand services-as-activities, (2) a novel conceptualization of value that aligns theoretically with this understanding of services, and (3) the service research discipline as a whole. The latter contribution is accomplished by revising the notion of services as a type of discrete entity in such a way that a fruitful alternative perspective to focusing on service as a logic along the lines of the SDL is achieved. The SaP framework also provides practitioners with a novel perspective as regards understanding, managing, and developing services.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:20

International Journal of Behavioral Development, Ahead of Print. Narrative story stem techniques (NSSTs) offer insight into attachment and other representational aspects of preschool to young school aged children’s inner lives. While the method moved into the academic and clinical mainstream some 35 years ago, their applicability to “non-Western” contexts remains little understood. This synthesis comprises 31 NSST studies of samples from parts of Africa, East Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, and from US and UK ethnocultural minoritized backgrounds. In the reviewed studies, three specific NSSTs dominated, story stems were used most to evaluate attachment, and some were clinically focused. However, there was also a strong cultural focus and over half of samples were socioeconomically disadvantaged. Studies revealed both universal and culturally specific features of NSSTs. Attachment distributions were as expected, given the high clinical risk in pooled samples (49% secure, 19% avoidant, 12% ambivalent, 20% disorganized), including by clinical and socioeconomic risk status. Gender differences were similar to “Western” findings. However, the growing evidence for convergent validity across cultural groups is tempered by low reporting of psychometrics. Narratives may sometimes reflect children’s unintended interpretations of the task and therefore not activate internal representations, or may reflect reality but lack equivalent meaning in coding schemes. We discuss how researchers and clinicians can enhance the validity of NSSTs by considering the role of culture in the sense-making process. Pending further validation work, NSSTs have the added potential to give a voice to young children from underrepresented backgrounds.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:20

International Journal of Behavioral Development, Ahead of Print. To illuminate individual differences in the development of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in the general population, psychometric measures are needed that can capture general population-level symptom variation reliably, validly, and comparably from childhood through to the transition to adulthood. The ADHD subscale of the Social Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ-ADHD) provides a candidate for a measure that can meet this need. We thus evaluate the psychometric properties of the SBQ-ADHD as administered in adulthood (ages 20 and 24) to a large normative sample, as well as the cross-informant (parent-teacher-self-reports) and developmental (ages 7–24) measurement invariance of a core SBQ-ADHD item set. Results support score internal consistency reliability, gender measurement invariance, and criterion validity. Scores from the core item set showed some evidence of non-invariance, providing insights into how ADHD symptoms may manifest and/or be perceived differently by different informants/in different contexts and at different ages. Our findings overall support the use of the SBQ-ADHD items for developmental studies of ADHD symptoms from childhood to adulthood.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:20

International Journal of Behavioral Development, Ahead of Print. Unintentional injury represents a significant health threat to children, and infancy marks a particularly vulnerable stage. This multi-method study (questionnaire, diary) measured parents’ (N = 143) use of three popular home-safety practices (teaching about safety, environment modification to reduce access to hazards, supervision) and child injury rates at two stages of motor development during infancy (sitting, walking). Associations between these three safety practices and parental beliefs (protectiveness needed, perceived benefits of the child experiencing minor injuries) were examined, as was the effectiveness of these three practices to prevent injury. Results revealed that different parental beliefs were associated with implementing different safety strategies at each motor development stage. Strategies were differentially effective depending on mobility status of the infant, with supervision being the only strategy that was effective to prevent injury at both motor development stages. Implications for developing safety messages to promote parents’ injury-prevention strategies are discussed.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:20

International Journal of Behavioral Development, Ahead of Print. We examine recommendations for three key features of latent growth curve models in the structural equation modeling framework. As a basis for the discussion, we review current practice in the social and behavioral sciences literature as found in 441 reports published in the 19 months beginning in January 2019 and compare our findings to extant recommendations. We then provide suggestions for empirical researchers, reviewing the application of these very popular models, specifically focusing on comparison of alternative change models, time metric and interval features implemented, and the treatment of individually varying time intervals.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:20

Affilia, Ahead of Print. Within the U.S., the struggle for women’s safety from intimate partner violence was brought into the national discourse with the Battered Women’s Movement (BWM) of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Volunteer-run “safe homes” would soon become bureaucratized with the concomitant rise of the nonprofit industrial complex (NPIC) and the repression of larger socio-political movements. These forces resulted in today’s 501(c)3 crisis centers which are governed by stringent service eligibility requirements that define the parameters of their practice. Informed by eight months of ethnographic field work at a rural crisis center in New England, this article analyzes one part of the nonprofitization of the BWM – that of professional discourse. Drawing on the work of Canadian feminist sociologist Dorothy Smith, I utilize the theoretical and methodological tenets of institutional ethnography (IE) to examine one dominant discursive practice – “Is she imminently fleeing?” This discursive practice reveals how officialdom adversely impacts survivors’ lives. This study contributes to our understanding of how language concretely plays out in the daily operations within the crisis center. This work builds on the literature that exposes the fault lines of the NPIC in the U.S. context and serves to expand the work of IE as a vital investigative research lens.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:19

Affilia, Ahead of Print. This study examines child support debt through an intersectional lens, focusing on its disproportionate impact on women and its unique implications within social relationships. Drawing from a 10-month longitudinal qualitative study with low-income mothers in Santiago, Chile, we challenge existing regulations governing child support provisions. We uncover discrepancies between judicial regulations and women’s economic realities, revealing how current laws favor middle-class men. We explore the distinctions women make in delineating this debt relationship and the unique social dynamics involved. The research highlights how child support debt impacts women’s identity construction and agency. By integrating intersectional analysis, the study underscores the complexity of child support debt, emphasizing the need to consider gender, class, and social context in understanding this phenomenon. Our findings suggest that current regulations fail to address the needs of low-income women, highlighting the importance of policy reforms to ensure equitable support.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:19

Administration &Society, Ahead of Print. This study examines how top leader turnover in the public sector affects organizational strategic decision-making processes in the post-succession phase. Survey responses of managers were combined with a novel database on CEO turnover in the U.S. Federal Government. Drawing on threat-rigidity theory, we hypothesize that as CEO turnover is perceived as a threatening event for both managers and CEOs themselves, organizations as a whole respond by becoming more rigid, centralizing strategic decision-making and restricting the flow of information. This has knock-on effects on the quality of strategic decisions and their implementation, with detrimental effects on the delivery of public services.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:19

Administration &Society, Ahead of Print. Drawing on attentional resource allocation theory and transaction cost theory, this study links street-level bureaucrats’ problem-solving organizational citizenship behaviors with perceived administrative burden. Based on 28 in-depth interviews and 657 survey responses from street-level bureaucrats involved in China’s Targeted Poverty Alleviation Policy during 2019 and 2020, the study found positive relationships between problem-solving organizational citizenship behaviors, resource deficiency, bureaucratic control, and perceived administrative burden. Policymakers should be cautious when using control tools and avoid exploiting street-level bureaucrats’ commitment and compassion for clients to ensure effectively policy implementation and reduce administrative burdens on dedicated public servants.

Sep 8th 2024, 12:19

Small Group Research, Ahead of Print. This conceptualization describes how positive and negative mood states, information processing, cognitive processing strategies, and group interaction combine to influence group judgment and decision making. The crux of the conceptualization is a dominant cognitive processing strategy. Positive moods inform group members that the situation is benign and reinforce dominant cognitive processing strategies. Negative moods provide feedback that the situation is problematic, leading to inhibition or revision of dominant cognitive processing strategies. Moods achieve these impacts through their influences on the cognitive processes of attention, processing objectives, and cognitive representations. Group interaction also accentuates these cognitive processes and related strategies. This conceptualization is applied to understand mood influences on jury decision making, group social dilemmas, hidden profile tasks, group judgments of opinions, judgments with cognitive biases, and quantitative judgments. The discussion considers mood influences in other group judgment and decision making related phenomena of group brainstorming, intergroup negotiation, stress, and groupthink.
