Undergraduate students who had taken a history, biology, or psychology class rated actual and ideal professors on 20 behaviors (e.g., disclosure of personal information). Students perceived psychology professors to be different than history and biology professors on several characteristics, despite similarity in student ratings of ideal preferences across these disciplines. We discuss implications for both professors and students regarding course evaluations and learning, respectively.","PeriodicalId":30144,"journal":{"name":"The New School Psychology Bulletin","volume":"8 1","pages":"47-55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57938102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study, 52 low-income, African American adolescent mothers and their children’s fathers were interviewed during the prenatal period about their relationships, social networks, and racial identity. Coparenting was found to be associated with racial identity in that mothers and fathers who reported pre-encounter racial identity attitudes reported lower levels of coparenting satisfaction than mothers and fathers in the more advanced stages of racial identity. No associations were found between racial identity and father involvement. This study extends the literature on coparenting, father involvement and racial identity to a community sample of understudied young parents at risk for negative outcomes.","PeriodicalId":30144,"journal":{"name":"The New School Psychology Bulletin","volume":"8 1","pages":"29-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57937755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results demonstrated that participants who read an intervention essay about benevolent sexism reported decreased benevolent sexism scores in both studies compared to those who read a control essay. In Study 1, participants in the intervention condition also indicated less liking for a profiled benevolent sexist than control participants, and these effects were still present at 6 month follow-up. Study 2 showed that the intervention successfully increased par- ticipants’ recognition of benevolent sexism as prejudice and increased ratings of the severity of a benevolent sexist incident. Implications for implementing this type of intervention are discussed.","PeriodicalId":30144,"journal":{"name":"The New School Psychology Bulletin","volume":"7 1","pages":"16-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57938391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current research investigates this correspondence between mothers’ and their 4-8 year- old children’s (M = 6 years, SD = 1.4 years) internal representations in 92 mother-child dyads where the children are at high- risk for psychopathology due to exposure to potentially abusive or neglectful circumstances. Maternal representations were assessed with the Parent Development Interview (PDI; Aber et al., 1985) and children’s were assessed with three stories from the Attachment Story Completion Task (ACST; Bretherton, Ridgeway, & Cassidy, 1990) coded with an attachment-focused system (Reiner & Splaun, 2008). Mothers who expressed high levels of joy, competence, confidence, and low anger had children who were able to address negative themes and feelings in their stories and resolve the central story dilemma. Thus, these qualities seem to enable mothers to help their children learn to address and resolve both difficult situations and feelings. That such cross-generational links were observed in a high-risk population speaks to the influence of parents’ thoughts and feelings about their children on the way children approach and resolve imagined attachment dilemmas.","PeriodicalId":30144,"journal":{"name":"The New School Psychology Bulletin","volume":"7 1","pages":"51-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57938005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A sample of 251 undergraduate students (129 women, 122 men) were administered the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP) and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) in order to evaluate the link between these measures. Regression analyses were used to evaluate which component of empathy was the greatest contributor to the interpersonal problems. Personal distress was found to contribute to difficulties in being assertive, sociable, submissive, responsible, and too controlling. Low perspective taking contributed to problems with submissiveness, control, sociability, and intimacy. Results are discussed in terms of their application to counseling those with interpersonal problems.","PeriodicalId":30144,"journal":{"name":"The New School Psychology Bulletin","volume":"8 1","pages":"83-90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57937467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Self-esteem was defined by four items from the Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965). Age of the sample ranged from 10-20 years at baseline; follow-up data were collected at baseline and approximately 1.5 and 7 years later. Self-esteem measured during adolescence at 14.9 years average age and 16.5 years average age was more heritable (42.5% and 45%, respectively) than self-esteem in young adulthood, 21.8 years average age (13%). However, the common component of self-esteem that is stable across all three time points was much more heritable (75%) than that for any single time point examined separately. The implications for genetic and environmental influences on self-esteem development are discussed.","PeriodicalId":30144,"journal":{"name":"The New School Psychology Bulletin","volume":"7 1","pages":"3-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57938240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The influx of juveniles in the justice system prompted many researchers to inquire about legal competence in minors. Despite recent declines in juvenile crime rates, researchers are still concerned about developmental capacities of adolescents who are involved in the legal system (Grisso et al., 2003). This review will address two related aspects of legal competence: false confessions resulting from the interrogation process and competency to stand trial. Factors associated with competence such as development, mental illness, and mental retardation will be reviewed. Lastly, suggestions are made for policy reformations and directions for future study.","PeriodicalId":30144,"journal":{"name":"The New School Psychology Bulletin","volume":"16 1","pages":"62-77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57938021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the link between specific qualities of employment and changes in delinquency among a diverse sample of young adults who had moved into the work force after high school using data from a three-wave panel study (N = 389). Contrary to hypotheses, longitudinal regression analyses revealed that changes in young adults’ delinquency from waves 1 to 3 were not related to work quality at wave 2 (e.g., hours worked per week, benefits, stability,future orientation, and enjoyment), with one exception; wages were marginally positively associated with increases in delinquency. The positive association between wages and delinquency is discussed in terms of the current nature of young adulthood and the types of the jobs that young adults without college degrees hold.","PeriodicalId":30144,"journal":{"name":"The New School Psychology Bulletin","volume":"8 1","pages":"4-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57937558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
