Linking Parental Wellbeing with the Wellbeing of Care Leaver and Care Experienced University Students: Analysing Relevance and Interconnections through the Lens of ‘Lived Lives’

This article analyses multidisciplinary research and theoretical perspectives on wellbeing, linking this with the findings from a narrative, biographical study of care-experienced university students in a UK university. In this paper, we examine the relevance of concepts of parental wellbeing, and wellbeing more generally, to \u27linked lives\u27\u27, defined as interrelated life events, experiences, memories and processes of narrativizing life histories both in and across time. While wellbeing is often depicted as an uplifting and uniformly positive concept in policy and research, it is also contested and opaque and is therefore difficult to define and operationalise. Elucidating young people\u27s voices on the complexity and \u27multilayeredness\u27 of everyday life events, we show that parental wellbeing, which is frequently negated from discussions of care experienced young people\u27s educational journeys requires greater critical scrutiny, arguing that temporalities and ever-changing personal and family histories indelibly affect individual care pathways for these young people. We thereby illuminate the significance of seemingly \u27ordinary\u27, everyday life events for care experienced students whilst showing how narrative interviews offer fruitful methodological approaches for understanding young people\u27s educational journeys

The criterion-calibration model of cue interaction in contingency judgments

Siegel, Allan, Hannah, and Crump (2009) demonstrated that cue interaction effects in human contingency judgments reflect processing that occurs after the acquisition of information. This finding is in conflict with a broad class of theories. We present a new postacquisition model, the criterion-calibration model, that describes cue interaction effects as involving shifts in a report criterion. The model accounts for the Siegel et al. data and outperforms the only other postacquisition model of cue interaction, Stout and Miller's (2007) SOCR model. We present new data from an experiment designed to evaluate a prediction of the two models regarding reciprocal cue interaction effects. The new data provide further support for the criterion-calibration model
