Evidence for Bourdieu’s social reproduction theory and its contributions to understanding educational inequality has been relatively mixed. Critics discount the usefulness of core concepts such as cultural capital habitus most studies invoking these have focused only on one or other, often conflating two, detriment both. We disentangle habitus, argue that taken together – in conjunction with practice field they hold significant explanatory potential. Moreover, we can be incorporated into a...
The authors examined the relationship between separation‐individuation, adult attachment styles, and college adjustment. One hundred fifty‐six young adults completed Psychological Separation Inventory (J. A. Hoffman, 1984; J. Hoffman & B. Weiss, 1987), 2 subscales from Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (R. W. Baker Siryk, 1989), a measure of pathology separation‐individuation M. Christenson P. Wilson, 1985), assessments style (K. Bartholomew L. Horowitz, 1991). adjustment was...
Research on welfare state regimes and research educational policy share a common concern for the reduction of social inequality. On one hand, is typically designed within comparative approach where scholars investigate similarities differences in institutions across selected countries. other basic model usually country specific seldom identifies why how we are to understand cross‐national pertaining The goal bridge these two areas by testing socio‐economic gradients outcomes among 15...
Recently, the issue of problem online video game playing and its potential connection with gambling has drawn increased attention. Although conceptually similar to many behavioral addictions, there is still no clear consensus on how best measure assess playing. This study validates one proposed gaming—the Problem Video Game Playing Test (PVGT)—in a Canadian undergraduate university student sample. Multivariate results indicate that gaming positively associated average length time spent...
This paper examines the persistent, growing popularity of Canadian French immersion (FI) programmes. Critics charge that FI programmes are elitist, diverting already limited resources from other areas education system. We begin with a brief overview benefits in Canada and enrolment trends. Next, sources FI-related inequality – lack access, transportation costs, funding issues types learners most likely to enrol scrutinised. Then, available evidence is weighed for against charges elitism....
There is a lack of recent research exploring the differences between binge and non-binge drinkers among Canadian university students. The current study aims to address this gap in literature through an exploratory statistical analysis. Univariate, bivariate, multivariate (logistic regression) analyses were employed identify prevalence drinking, as well its various sociodemographic, behavioural, mental health correlates. A large majority (83.1%) 507 respondents reported consuming alcohol...
This study uses data from a four-wave longitudinal survey of emerging adults (18–20 years age in Wave 1) to examine whether there are multiple distinct trajectories problem gambling risk severity and membership these trajectory classes can be predicted by certain protective factors. Four were identified – nonproblem-diminishing (73.9%), low-risk-stable (16.8%), marginal/nongambler-diminishing (7.1%), moderate-risk-increasing (2.2%) with most youths' involvement remaining stable or...
Every year a growing number of international students move abroad, predominantly to western countries, pursue university education. They are motivated by various factors both in their home country as well the prospective host countries and universities. Many these reasons can be generally characterized term push-pull factors, impelling leave incentivizing them education other countries. However, upon arrival, may encounter myriad challenges over course studies.
 A substantial body...
Informed by the Pathways Model, current study utilized latent class analysis (LCA) to empirically derive subtypes of gamblers based on measures impulsivity, anxiety, depression, drug use and alcohol dependence. The sample in this (N = 566) was comprised young adult (18–22 years age) who participated Manitoba Longitudinal Survey Young Adults (MLSYA). Multinomial regression examine how demographic variables participant scores Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) predicted membership gambler...
Abstract This article investigates two possible explanations for willingness to engage in ethical consumption: increased status and improved information about the benefits of consumption producers nature. We approach our hypotheses through an experimental method which people are asked, under varying conditions, choose between fair trade “conventional” coffee. Unexpectedly, provision did not significantly affect decisions. Implications findings literature strategies aimed at increasing discussed.
In previous research informed by the Pathways Model (an aetiological framework for problem and disordered gambling), latent mixture modelling was used to identify subtypes of gamblers based on measures impulsivity, anxiety, depression, drug use, alcohol dependence. The current study extended these findings by: (a) determining if similar would be identified in same sample two years later; (b) utilizing transition analysis (LTA) determine class membership remained stable over this time period....
Bourdieu’s theory of cultural and social reproduction posits that students’ habitus—learned behavioural perceptual dispositions rooted in family upbringing—is a formative influence on how they react to their educational environments, affecting academic practices achievement. Although originally conceived as “class” variant construct, it has been argued subsequently habitus is also conditioned by gender socialization, so may be characterized significant differences. Working with multilevel...
Given prevalent alcohol misuse-emotional comorbidities among young adults, we developed an internet-based integrated treatment called Take Care of Me. Although the had impact on several secondary outcomes, effects were not observed for primary outcome. Therefore, goal current study was to examine heterogeneity in responses. The initial RCT randomized participants either a or psychoeducational control condition. We conducted exploratory latent class analysis distinguish individuals based...
Using a four-wave longitudinal sample of young Canadian adults (18–24), this study identified five latent trajectory classes: low stable, high decreasing, moderate and increasing. The identification class characterized by an increasing depression symptoms across the transition to adulthood is novel finding. Of risk protective factors assessed, only initial student status perceived family support helped prospectively distinguish between classes—students with higher symptomology in late...
Background: Gambling is common in young adulthood. Most adults phase out of excessive gambling, but some establish regular habits and develop problems. Research has begun to examine the risk associated with different gambling activity patterns. However, there a paucity longitudinal work. Using prospective design, we identified distinct subgroups based on patterns involvement tested stability these over 4 years.Method: Data came from Manitoba Longitudinal Study Young Adults. Participants (N =...
