Mediational links between parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, permissive), impulsiveness (general control), drinking control (specific and alcohol use abuse were tested. A pattern-mixture approach (for modeling non-ignorable missing data) with multiple-group structural equation models 421 (206 female, 215 male) college students was used. Gender examined as a potential moderator of on processes related to drinking. Specifically, the parent-child gender match found have...
The authors used data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study Early Care Youth to model patterns maternal depressive symptoms, period infants' age 1 month adolescence (age 12 years), then examined adolescent adjustment at 15 years as a function course severity symptoms. identified 5 latent classes symptoms in 1,357 women, while also taking into account sociodemographic measures: never depressed, stable subclinical, early decreasing, moderately elevated,...
Abstract Retention of early career teachers is a critical issue in education, with burnout and self-efficacy serving as important precursors to leaving the field. An integration PAX Good Behavior Game (GBG; Barrish et al., 1969) MyTeachingPartner (MTP; Allen 2015) was tested randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigate whether combined programs would improve long-term outcomes for teachers.

Objective: Recently, it has been suggested that traits may dynamically change as conditions change. One possible mechanism influence impulsiveness is parental monitoring. Parental monitoring reflects a knowledge regarding one's offspring's whereabouts and social connections. The aim of this investigation was to examine potential gender-specific influences (general behavioral control), control over own drinking (specific alcohol-related problems among individuals in period emerging adulthood....

Health organizations are increasingly using social media, such as Twitter, to disseminate health messages target audiences. Determining the extent which audience (e.g., age groups) was reached is critical evaluating impact of media education campaigns.

We created a labeled dataset users across different groups (youth, young adults, adults) by collecting...
The present study examined perceptions of racial discrimination and socialization on identity development among 566 African American adolescents over 3 years. Latent class analyses were used to estimate statuses (Diffuse, Foreclosed, Moratorium, Achieved). probabilities transitioning from one stage another with latent transition determine the likelihood youth progressing, regressing, or remaining constant. Racial as covariates assess association changes in status. results indicated that not...
We examined heterogeneity in BMI trajectory classes among youth and variables that may be associated with class membership. used data from seven rounds (1997-2003) of the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey Youth (NLSY97), a nationally representative, longitudinal survey people born between 1980 1984 who were living United States 1997.
