Legal socialization effects on democratization

As is the case with all our joint publications, this article represents a genuine research collaboration between the authors, with equal contributions. Therefore, neither is first or second author. This article uses data from a collaborative project that grew out of the Law and Society Associations Working Group on Orientations toward Law and Normative Ordering‘. Ellen S. Cohn, lames L. Gibson, Susan O. White, Joseph Sanders, Joan McCord, and Felice Levine were responsible for the development and implementation of the research design. Funding for the project was provided by the (US) National Science Foundation (SE 13237 and SIR 11403).

A New Scale to Measure War Attitudes: Construction and Predictors

Attitudes people have toward war in general have been of recent interest due to the war on terrorism and the war in Iraq. The purpose of this research was to develop a scale to measure war attitudes and to investigate factors that may influence these attitudes. In the first study, a scale was developed that measured war attitudes. Three factors emerging from the War Attitude Scale were labeled ethics of war, support for war, and affect about war. Patriotism-nationalism, authoritarianism, social criticism, belief in war outcomes, support of the president, and gender were found to be significant predictors of war attitudes. In the second study, the scale was administered to a community sample. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted with three similar factors emerging. Additionally, the community sample results allowed further generalization of the findings. Implications for the construction of the War Attitude Scale and its predictors are discussed

Parents' future visions for their autistic transition-age youth: hopes and expectations

Researchers have documented that young adults with autism spectrum disorder have poor outcomes in employment, post-secondary education, social participation, independent living, and community participation. There is a need to further explore contributing factors to such outcomes to better support successful transitions to adulthood. Parents play a critical role in transition planning, and parental expectations appear to impact young adult outcomes for autistic individuals. The aim of this study was to explore how parents express their future visions (i.e. hopes and expectations) for their autistic transition-age youth. Data were collected through focus groups and individual interviews with 18 parents. Parents' hopes and expectations focused on eight primary domains. In addition, parents often qualified or tempered their stated hope with expressions of fears, uncertainty, realistic expectations, and the perceived lack of guidance. We discuss our conceptualization of the relations among these themes and implications for service providers and research.Accepted manuscrip

Parent perceptions of occupational therapy using sensory integration approaches

Thesis (Sc.D.)--Boston UniversityOccupational therapists recognize that families are central to the wellbeing of children and that incorporating parent perspectives into intervention is an essential component of the therapy process. Although family-centered outcomes are specifically espoused in the pediatric occupational therapy literature, parent perspectives have not been the focus of efficacy studies. This collection of papers reports three sets of findings designed to understand parents' perspectives related to occupational therapy using sensory integration approaches. In both studies, interviews with parents were conducted, audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed using grounded theory methods. The first study reported here describes parents' point of view regarding their hopes for outcomes prior to their children's participation in occupational therapy using a sensory integration approach. These parents identified two overarching directions for therapy. One focus for change was their children. Three themes pertinent to the occupation of children; social participation, self regulation, and perceived competence, were identified. Parents also include themselves as both agents and recipients of change. The second and third papers describe parents' point of view after their children have been discharged from therapy. The parents' perceptions of the benefits of therapy for their children are categorized into three interrelated constructs: abilities, activities, and reconstruction of self-worth. For themselves, parents value understanding their children's behavior in new ways. This shift in understanding is hypothesized to facilitate a change in expectations for themselves and their children. Further, parents value having their parenting experience validated and being able to support and advocate for their children. The parents' actual experience of sitting in the waiting room while their children received occupational therapy also emerged as a powerful theme. Through their interactions with one another, sharing stories, experiences, parenting challenges, and resources, the particular group of parents interviewed for the second study gave and received naturally occurring support for parenting children with sensory integration dysfunction. Implications for expanding the definition of family-centered intervention and for future research are proposed
