Sep 17th 2024, 15:28

Increasing frailty or a medical crisis threatens older people’s autonomy. Further threats may arise from adult children if such changes or events are perceived as permitting or signalling a need to assume greater control over their parent’s life. In the context of reablement—a time-limited intervention seeking to help older people regain their confidence and ability to live as independently as possible—this is observed in cases where adult children resist, or seek to sabotage, reablement. This runs counter to the notion of family being a valuable resource and partner to reablement services in achieving the desired outcomes. Notions of autonomy and legitimate authority, which often co-occur in care relationships, provide a useful lens to understand this phenomenon. The aims of this study were to explore reablement staff’s accounts of the ways adult children seek to assume control over their parents’ reablement, and how they manage such situations. We undertook a secondary analysis of a qualitative dataset comprising transcripts of 11 focus groups with staff (n = 78) in five reablement services in England and Wales conducted for the purposes of a study investigating the factors affecting older people’s engagement with reablement. Staff’s accounts included descriptions of the different ways adult children can seek to exert control over the reablement process. Staff believed that, when aware this was happening, older people ceded control to their child(ren) because preserving the relationship with their child(ren) was a greater priority than maximising their independence. Staff’s descriptions of the different strategies they used to protect family relationships whilst supporting the older person’s autonomy shed light on the skills reablement staff require. Findings support person-centred approaches to reablement which understand and respond to the wider family context. They also point to possible limitations or gaps in workforce training and supervision.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:22

Abstract
Given the limitations of current analytical techniques to efficiently and effectively analyse areas of relative concentration or specialization in the spatial dynamics of street children, this study explores the potential of adapting the Location Quotient (LQ) technique to analyse the spatial distribution of street children. Traditionally utilized in regional economics and planning, the versatility of LQs has been demonstrated across diverse fields such as crime analysis, education, healthcare planning, retail analysis, and tourism management, illustrating their role in informing decision-making and policy development. In the context of street children studies, this study provides practical guidelines for conducting spatial analysis using LQs, covering steps from defining the study area to communicating results to stakeholders. By applying Location Quotients of Street Children (LQSC), the study analyzes street child data in urban areas, revealing insights into spatial distribution, specialization, and diversification across cities such as Ibadan, Akure, and Osogbo in Southwest Nigeria. Significant findings highlight the influence of urban spatial configurations, patterns of land use, and variations in residential densities on the spatial distribution of street children. Additionally, the study underscores the analytical importance of LQSC in pinpointing hotspots, comprehending dynamics of specialization, tailoring interventions, optimizing resource allocation, and guiding evidence-based policymaking and interventions to tackle the multifaceted issues concerning street children.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:22

Abstract
In the field of food service logistics, monitoring pizza delivery time is an important issue. The importance of timely pizza deliveries mirrors broader societal expectations of instant gratification and time efficiency. In this paper, we propose a new approach for designing distribution-free monitoring methods which is based on the nonparametric combination of dependent tests framework (NPC), borrowed from hypothesis testing and permutation testing theory. We analyze the application of NPC to combine several tests in order to address different aspects of the problem or viewpoints of the data. Studying the corresponding multi-aspect NPC process monitoring schemes, we discovered that combining only linear rank tests leads to a distribution-free NPC methods, whereas combining at least one non linear rank test may lead to a non distribution-free NPC method. One of the most interesting results has been obtained with the NPC Wilcoxon–Van der Waerden process monitoring method. This method takes full advantage of the flexibility of the NPC framework performing well under a wide variety of process distributions. The methods are illustrated by analyzing a real data set.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:22

Abstract
The paper analyses the role of gastronomic experiences as potential tourist attractions for local development. The decision to focus on a particular UNESCO site, as the Carolino aqueduct, is based on a perceived knowledge gap regarding the lack of tourists for the Carolino aqueduct. The work is based on quantitative data collection among potential visitors of the aqueduct Carolino. Altogether, 840 valid questionnaires were collected a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied. Findings reveal that that people’s motivation, supplied food, prior knowledge and past experiences influence the gastronomic experiences. The gastronomic experiences in turn affect both satisfaction with the destination and destination loyalty. Thus, gastronomic experiences should be useful path to support the tourism in a UNESCO site, as the aqueduct Carolino. When discussing issues related to the cultural heritage, the question arises as to how should enhance the cultural heritage for tourism reasons. The results of this research demonstrate that gastronomic experiences are imperative to the success of cultural heritage tourism.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:22

Abstract
This paper addresses the need for reform in AAOIFI standards on murabaha financing, providing a legal analysis and examining compliance by Islamic banks in Pakistan with AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. (8). Through qualitative research involving face-to-face interviews and content analysis, primary data was collected and analyzed using NVivo software. The findings reveal that Islamic banks in Pakistan do not fully comply with AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. (8), specifically regarding the arrangement fee outlined in clause 2/4/4. Additionally, a contradiction is identified between Shariah Standard No. (24) (clause: 7(1)) and Shariah Standard No. (8) (clause: 2/4/4), as the former permits the charging of an arrangement fee while the latter does not. It’s important to note that this study focuses exclusively on murabaha financing as a debt-based product of Islamic banks and is conducted in Karachi, the financial capital of Pakistan, with respondents including Shariah advisors, assistant Shariah advisors, and bank managers from Islamic banks. The findings contribute to the significance of standardizing the international Islamic banking system and recommend reforms in AAOIFI Standards to foster a harmonized and uniform practice among Islamic banks in Pakistan. This research paper provides valuable insights into contemporary Islamic banking practices, assisting the State Bank of Pakistan in evaluating AAOIFI compliance. Additionally, it helps shape the public’s perception of Islamic banks’ adherence to Islamic principles and offers potential guidance for future research in various jurisdictions.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:21

Abstract
We introduce Flexible Representative Democracy (FRD), a novel hybrid of Representative Democracy and Direct Democracy in which voters can alter the issue-dependent weights of a set of elected representatives. In line with the literature on Interactive Democracy, our model allows the voters to actively determine the degree to which the system is direct versus representative. However, unlike Liquid Democracy, Flexible Representative Democracy uses strictly non-transitive delegations, making delegation cycles impossible, and maintains a fixed set of accountable, elected representatives. We present Flexible Representative Democracy and analyze it using a computational approach with issues that are binary and symmetric. We compare the outcomes of various voting systems using Direct Democracy with majority voting as an ideal baseline. First, we demonstrate the shortcomings of Representative Democracy in our model. We provide NP-Hardness results for electing an ideal set of representatives, discuss pathologies, and demonstrate empirically that common multi-winner election rules for selecting representatives do not perform well in expectation. To analyze the effects of adding delegation to representative voting systems, we begin by providing theoretical results on how issue-specific delegations determine outcomes. Finally, we provide empirical results comparing the outcomes of various voting systems: Representative Democracy, Proxy Voting, and FRD with issue-specific delegations. Our results show that variants of Proxy Voting yield no discernible benefit over unweighted representatives and reveal the potential for Flexible Representative Democracy to improve outcomes as voter participation increases.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:21

Abstract
A number of rules for resolving majority cycles in elections have been proposed in the literature. Recently, Holliday and Pacuit (J Theor Polit 33:475–524, 2021) axiomatically characterized the class of rules refined by one such cycle-resolving rule, dubbed Split Cycle: in each majority cycle, discard the majority preferences with the smallest majority margin. They showed that any rule satisfying five standard axioms plus a weakening of Arrow’s Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives (IIA), called Coherent IIA, is refined by Split Cycle. In this paper, we go further and show that Split Cycle is the only rule satisfying the axioms of Holliday and Pacuit together with two additional axioms, which characterize the class of rules that refine Split Cycle: Coherent Defeat and Positive Involvement in Defeat. Coherent Defeat states that any majority preference not occurring in a cycle is retained, while Positive Involvement in Defeat is closely related to the well-known axiom of Positive Involvement (as in J Pérez Soc Choice Welf 18:601–616, 2001). We characterize Split Cycle not only as a collective choice rule but also as a social choice correspondence, over both profiles of linear ballots and profiles of ballots allowing ties.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:21

Abstract
We consider classes of non-manipulable social choice functions with range of cardinality at most two within a set of at least two alternatives. We provide the functional form for each of the classes we consider. This functional form is a characterization that explicitly describes how a social choice function of that particular class selects the collective choice corresponding to a profile. We provide a unified formulation of these characterizations using the new concept of “character”. The choice of the character, depending on the class of social choice functions, gives the functional form of all social choice functions of the class.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:21

Abstract
A common assumption in matching markets is that both sides fully know their preferences. However, when there are many participants this may be neither realistic nor feasible. Instead, agents may have some partial (perhaps stochastic) information about alternatives and will invest time and resources to better understand the inherent benefits and tradeoffs of different choices. Using the framework of matching medical residents with hospital programs, we study strategic behaviour by residents in a setting where hospitals maintain a publicly known master list of residents (i.e., all hospitals have an identical ranking of all the residents, for example, based on grades) and residents have to decide with which hospitals to interview, before submitting their preferences to the matching mechanism. We first show the existence of pure strategy equilibrium under very general conditions. We then study the setting when residents’ preferences are drawn from a known Mallows distribution. We prove that assortative equilibrium (k top residents interview with k top hospitals, etc.) arises only when residents interview with a small number of programs. Surprisingly, such equilibria (or even weaker notions of assortative interviewing) do not exist when residents can interview with many hospital programs, even when residents’ preferences are very similar. Simulations on possible outcome equilibrium indicate that some residents will pursue a reach/safety strategy.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:21

Abstract
Social support is important for human life and survival, especially during critical times. In recent times, especially during the pandemic, older adults across the globe have experienced a decline in social support, reducing their quality of life. This qualitative phenomenological study examined social support and familial relationships for the well-being of older adults. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 12 (twelve) adults aged 60 years or older. Findings from the study revealed that older adults who received emotional, physical, and financial support during the pandemic had greater well-being and appreciated life amidst the restrictions on activities. The study concludes that social support and strengthening social relationships with older people are imperative to bridge the gap between care and well-being among older people. The study recommends improved social relationships between family/friends and older people and the implementation of social policy and community support programs to cushion the effect of loneliness and depression caused by a result of lack of social support.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:20

Abstract
The study aims to examine the violation of women’s rights through domestic violence in the Domiz camp, focusing on child marriage as a human rights issue within refugee camps and its connection with social work. It sought to evaluate domestic violence among Syrian refugee girls married before 18 and its impact on these young girls and their families. The long-lasting displacement caused by the internal Syrian war has led to one of the world’s largest refugee populations. The qualitative study used semi-structured interviews with young wives using ecological theory as a conceptual framework. Face-to-face interviews were conducted by the first author with four girls, along with focus group discussions involving five parents. Purposive and snowball sampling methods were employed for participant selection. The primary findings highlighted that conflicts with parents-in-law are associated with domestic violence and divorce incidents affecting family members of Syrian refugees. Domestic violence within a family leads to marital breakdowns and subsequent legal issues due to divorces. Hence, suitable strategies such as engaging in social work with young wives and their families can help reduce marital violence prevalence among refugees. Furthermore, it is recommended that parents educate their daughters about family responsibilities. In addition, government authorities and societal stakeholders should act aimed at enhancing child protection measures while reducing the vulnerability of girls towards domestic abuse. Finally, divorced young wives need crucial financial support enabling them to communicate effectively in a society, wherein increasing independence becomes feasible.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:20

Abstract
The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effects of behavioral procedures, including relational training and multiple exemplar training on empathic responding of individuals who display racial bias. In particular, this study used a multielement design with five adult participants to evaluate whether the presentation of relational frames of coordination and distinction between the participants’ values and the values of a person belonging to a group for which a bias existed altered empathic responses toward people belonging to such groups. The results showed empathic responding was higher when relational frames of coordination were presented and lower when relational frames of distinction were presented. This study provides preliminary data suggesting that relational training may result in altered patterns of empathic responses toward people belonging to different racial groups for which a bias previously was observed.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:20

Abstract
Laboratory models of renewal are critical for understanding this form of behavioral relapse and informing clinical practice to reduce the occurrence of relapse and facilitate the maintenance of treatment gains. Nonsequential renewal is a modified procedure developed by (Sullivan et al. Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 110(1), 74–86 2018) that provides an arrangement to study operant renewal in a manner more consistent with clients receiving clinical services, which involves exposing subjects to treatment and baseline conditions across two or more contexts. Experiment 1 replicated the procedure of (Craig et al. Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 112(2), 210–223 2019) to compare ABA renewal of target responding in rats exposed to the nonsequential or sequential renewal procedure. Experiment 2 investigated the use of an olfactory extinction cue in mitigating renewal. In Experiment 1, the Nonsequential Group displayed a greater magnitude of renewal compared to the Sequential Group, consistent with the findings from (Craig et al. Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 110(1), 74–86 2019) but inconsistent with those from (Sullivan et al. Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 110(1), 74–86 2018) with human participants. The extinction cue did not mitigate renewal in Experiment 2. The use of a laboratory model of renewal that is more analogous to clinical settings may be valuable in a translational approach to investigating relapse-prevention techniques.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:19

Abstract
This study aimed to build on existing research on the implicit relational assessment procedure (IRAP), which has identified different patterns of IRAP effects associated with responses to happy and angry facial expressions. In particular, the study aimed to (1) replicate the previously observed happiness superiority effect, but with a far larger participant group than previous studies and (2) explore whether the IRAP effect would be influenced by self-reported levels of depression. One hundred twenty-two participants completed an IRAP that presented pairs of emotional human faces in a 2×2 crossover design yielding four trial-types: happy face–happy face, happy face–angry face, angry face–happy face and angry face–angry face. The results showed a clear happiness superiority effect, with the IRAP effect for trial-type 1 (happy face–happy face) larger than the IRAP effect for trial-type 4 (angry face–angry face). Self-reported depression appeared to moderate responding on the trial-type 1 alone, with low depressed individuals producing a larger D-IRAP score on the trial-type 1 relative to high depressed individuals. The findings support recent arguments that the stimulus function properties of all elements within an IRAP should be taken into account when predicting and interpreting behavioral patterns produced on the procedure. Considerations for use of the IRAP to predict behaviors in the natural environment are discussed.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:19

Abstract
Two distinct equivalence classes can be merged by teaching one relation between one member of each class. This association between the classes has the potential to generate emergent relations among all members of each class. The present study proposes an equation that allows prediction of the total number of emergent relations among classes when they are merged. The equation was tested in two situations and reliably predicted the number of emergent relations when two classes were merged into one. Some functional implications of the findings for the merger of equivalence classes are discussed.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:19

Abstract

Purpose
This article addresses a gap in empirical knowledge on post-separation contact in the context of domestic violence and abuse (DVA) for children with disabilities. The intersection of disability and DVA is explored through the mother’s perspective and brings to the fore the unique experiences of children with disabilities in the post-separation contact space.

Methods
Known to be a difficult to reach population, the experience of disabled children were captured through in-depth qualitative interviews with a sample of eight victim/survivor mothers. Mothers were recruited through gatekeepers from a voluntary children’s organization and specialist DVA services. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was the most common disability occurring in the sample.

Results
Three major themes relating to the disabled child’s experience were identified: (i) Courts’ (lack of) consideration of children’s disability in post-separation child contact decision-making; (ii) Disruption to routine; and (iii) Quality of contact. Participating mothers reported that these experiences caused serious emotional distress for the children; distress that was heightened and compounded by their disability status.

Conclusion
Applying an intersectional lens to the experiences of children with a disability who live with DVA, this study simultaneously illuminates children’s vulnerability and marginalization in this context, whilst also identifying gaps in policy and practice responses to identify and address the individual needs of these children. Lastly, given the nascent evidence base on this topic, research which directly elicits the voice of the child is urgently needed.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:19

Abstract

Purpose
Although the intimate partner violence (IPV) help-seeking literature has expanded, limited research examines help-seeking patterns utilizing a broad range of strategies. We examined classes of help-seeking strategies using the Intimate Partner Violence Strategy Index, which includes 39 help-seeking strategies in six categories: formal (e.g., stayed in shelter, called a hotline) and informal networks (e.g., talked to family, friends), legal assistance (e.g., called police, filed charges), safety planning behaviors (e.g., hid money or keys), and resistance (e.g., fought back, ended the relationship) and placating (e.g., tried to keep things quiet, avoided him) tactics.

Methods
The sample included 150 women who experienced IPV and sought civil legal services. We used latent class analysis (LCA) to identify strategy use classes and examined differences in class membership by sociodemographics and IPV experiences.

Results
The LCA identified four classes: High Strategy Use (36% of the sample), Moderate Strategy Use-Resistance Focused (25%), Moderate Strategy Use-Placating Focused (25%), and Low Strategy Use (14%). Women in the High Strategy Use class used an average of 27.35 strategies across all six categories. Women in each Moderate Use class reported high strategy use in one category (i.e., resistance or placating). Women in the Low Strategy Use class used an average of 11.67 strategies with very few safety planning strategies. Class membership was not associated with sociodemographic variables. Women in the High Use Strategy class reported the most frequent and severe IPV.

Conclusions
Examining help-seeking patterns provides comprehensive views of how women cope with violence and can yield tailored interventions.

Abstract

Purpose
This qualitative study explored Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in the Israeli Jewish Ultra-Orthodox (JUO) community to better understand the cultural and religious risk factors and features underlying IPV in this under-researched sector.

Method
Semi-structured interviews implementing the Clinical Ethnographic Narrative Interviews approach were conducted with 15 JUO women currently living with or separated/divorced from their abusive partners who were victims of IPV. The interviews were analyzed using the Interpretive Phenomenological approach.

Results
Two key themes emerged from the analysis. The first theme involves the normalization and exacerbation of violence due to specific religious and societal norms that perpetuate silence and stigma. Factors such as early marriage, religious beliefs about the sanctity of marriage, disadvantaged childhood experiences, and distorted religious justifications contributed to the victims’ vulnerability and hindered their ability to seek help.
The second theme is related to the specific features of the abuse. It covers a range of tactics employed by husbands, including financial oppression, social isolation, physical violence, and manipulation during pregnancy, all based on and justified by distorted religious concepts.

Conclusions
Though aspects of intergenerational abuse and control tactics to aggravate violence are common universal strategies in IPV, the findings here underscore the interplay between religious practices and societal expectations within the JUO community that contribute to the perpetration and perpetuation of IPV. These findings contribute to a better understanding of IPV in religious and traditional contexts and highlight the importance of tailoring interventions to address the needs of specific collectivistic and religious-based societies.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:19

Abstract

Purpose
To investigate massage therapists’ attitudes, consultation processes, and confidence to respond to situations involving domestic and family violence (DFV) in clinical practice.

Methods
An online survey-based study was conducted and Australian massage therapists, 18 years of age or over were recruited. The survey included 64 questions in 3 sections: 1) Demographics, 2) Recognize Family and Domestic Violence, and 3) Respond to domestic and family violence with 4 subsections; i) disclosures, ii) referrals, iii) further education, and iv) final comments.

Results
Two-hundred and seventeen respondents were included in the analysis. Knowledge about DFV, having a client disclose DFV and confidence to manage a disclosure, were all significantly higher with massage therapists with a personal experience of DFV. The main qualitative theme was antithetical attitudes with two subthemes: a) not in my world: I’d be enormously surprised that a person in an abusive environment would come in for a massage, b) in my world: I want to be prepared.

Conclusion
Having personal experience of DFV significantly impacted the way that respondents felt about and managed DFV in their clinic. Several massage therapists’ who had no personal experience of DFV demonstrated a lack of knowledge about DFV and less confidence to respond to it in their clinic. It is important to upskill and educate massage therapists, particularly those with no personal experience, to improve their confidence to have discussions around DFV and to respond to DFV disclosures.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:18

Abstract
During the past decade, video games have become the main industrial entertainment sector, although research on the effects of violence in video games on juvenile aggressiveness has raised concerns that they may pose a significant social risk. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship of exposure to violent video games, pathological video-gaming, and justification of violence with the perpetration of Child-to-Parent Violence (CPV) against the mother and the father, controlling for the sex, educational level, and violent TV exposure of the participant. The sample consisted of 439 students from Compulsory Secondary Education, (238 boys and 201 girls), aged between 13 and 18. Exposure to video games was assessed through an author-elaborated questionnaire, violence justification, and pathological video-gaming were evaluated with the Exposure to Violence Questionnaire and the Assessment of Pathological Computer-Gaming, respectively, and CPV was assessed through the Child-to-Parent Aggression Questionnaire. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that pathological video-gaming and, specially, justification of violence, were related to the perpetration of CPV against both mothers and fathers. However, a relationship of exposure to violent video games and violence on TV with the perpetration of CPV was not found. These results suggest a potential new target for CPV prevention, as well as for the treatment of juvenile offenders.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:18

Abstract
Supportive relationships have been hypothesized to protect against psychological distress in general and to reduce the impacts of adversity on distress. Bullying victimization by peers is a salient adverse experience for many adolescents. Being bullied increases the risk of psychological distress which in turn increases the risk of further bullying victimization. There is minimal previous research on whether and how supportive relationships protect adolescents from bullying victimization, psychological distress and the recursive relationships between victimization and distress. This study investigated the direct and moderating effects of supportive relationships with parents, peers, and teachers on later psychological distress and bullying victimization of adolescents. This longitudinal study involved 1425 Australian adolescents aged 12–18 years (mostly male, 74.3%), using questionnaires on bullying victimization, psychological distress, and supportive relationships at two-time points, 6 months apart. All types of supportive relationships reduced the risk of later psychological distress predicted from earlier psychological distress, suggesting a direct compensatory effect. Support from classmates and parents also protected adolescents against ongoing bullying victimization and mitigated the impact of bullying victimization on later psychological distress, consistent with a stress-buffering hypothesis. The pattern of results confirms the important role that supportive relationships play in protecting adolescents from psychological distress and bullying victimization. Persistent bullying victimization and later psychological distress are less likely to occur for victimized adolescents supported by parents and classmates. Strategies and programs that improve parental support may enhance the effectiveness of programs to prevent bullying and improve outcomes for victims.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:18

Abstract
White parents in the United States are unlikely to engage their preschool children in proactive discussions about race, instead waiting to follow their children’s lead in broaching these topics. This passive approach risks missing critical opportunities to build children’s positive racial identities and interrupt bias formation. This study aimed to increase parent-child discussions of race in white families in the U.S. through the implementation of a race-conscious book-reading curriculum in preschool classrooms. We hypothesized that children’s proactive exposure to race-conscious content in preschool would have a spillover effect on parent-child conversations about race at home, such that white preschoolers and their parents would have more race-conscious conversations following the implementation of a classroom book-reading curriculum. Participants consisted of 29 monoracial white parents of preschool children, most of whom were highly educated, high-income mothers. Each day during the study period, parents reported any race-related conversations they had with their child. Results demonstrated that race-conscious conversations between white parents and their preschoolers increased following the implementation of the book reading curriculum. Book reading in preschool prompted children’s bids for conversation about race with their parents on the same day, and these child-initiated bids resulted in more race-conscious parent-child conversations than bids initiated by parents or other adults. Further, families with more child-initiated bids had more total conversations about race than families with fewer conversations started by children. These findings suggest that white preschool children are capable of engaging in discussions about race and school-based socialization may be a promising avenue for supporting these conversations.

Sep 17th 2024, 15:18

Abstract
Taking coparenting into consideration is essential when assessing children and their relational environment, regardless of the family structure. This paper presents three studies we conducted with the aim of developing and validating a reliable instrument for the assessment of coparenting in Spanish. The first study consisted of developing the items to be included in the assessment tool and evaluation of this content by a panel of nine experts. In the second study, we explored both the psychometric properties and the factorial structure of the prototype instrument using a sample of 251 participants. The third study confirmed the factorial structure and tested measurement invariance, the reliability, and convergent and discriminant evidence of our tool in a general population sample of 312 participants. We obtained a 15-item unidimensional questionnaire, the Questionnaire for the Assessment of Coparenting (CECOP), with very good psychometric properties: excellent internal consistency with α of 0.97 and supported validity with the selected conceptually related metrics; convergent validity with the Instrument for the Assessment of Adaptation to Divorce–Separation’s (CADS) coparenting dimension and Questionnaire on Perceived Support from the Former Partner (CARE); and divergent validity with parenting and dyadic adjustment. Furthermore, the results in terms of measurement invariance across family structures and sex allowed us to assume the configural invariance between the groups. However, it was not possible to assume metric invariance. Finally, we also provide normative scores for its interpretation. The CECOP shows excellent psychometric properties and can be considered the first questionnaire in Spanish that assesses coparenting in any family structure, which also includes the triadic conceptualization of coparenting, providing valuable information on the relational environment in which children and adolescence live.

Sep 17th 2024, 14:21

The proliferation of government policies to manage immigration has led to the emergence of an interdisciplinary literature that evaluates policy effects on immigrant integration. This review synthesizes findings from evaluations of policies regulating legal status and citizenship, the labor market, welfare, settlement, education, and cultural rights. It concludes that policies lowering immigrants’ costs of adjustment to the host country are consistently more effective in promoting integration than policies incentivizing immigrant effort through withholding resources and regulating access to rights. Policy changes the behavior of both immigrants and native-born citizens through material and psychological pathways, and considering the decision making of each side and their interdependence is crucial for understanding why estimated effects of the same policy differ across contexts and for anticipating unintended consequences. For external validity and useful counterfactuals, a closer connection is needed between empirical research and theoretical models that explicitly account for the equilibrium nature of integration.
