Family Structure and Emotional Expressiveness
Get PDFThere is a potential relationship between gender roles and emotional expressiveness. The central hypothesis is that the households that present high levels of both masculine and feminine gender roles will have higher levels of emotional expression. The study was conducted by recruiting college students to participate in an online survey. The survey measured the levels of each gender role present in the household, the number of parents present in the home, and the participant's self-reported level of emotional expression. There were no significant relationships between gender roles and emotional expression found during the study. Given that there is no statistically significant relationship between the two, it is very likely that gender roles do not influence emotional expressiveness. Potential future studies should include an overhaul of the methods and replicating them, an examination of other possible influences on emotional expression, and an attempt to replicate the study with a broader participant pool and a higher number of participants

Factors that impact the implementation of secondary dual language programs in three school districts in the State of Texas
No full textResearch has demonstrated that dual language education is the most powerful for school reform. Most of the research has focused on the outcomes of elementary programs. As dual language programs continue to expand from the elementary level to the middle school setting, more research is necessary to explain how these programs are being sustained at the secondary level. This qualitative study researched the factors that impacted the implementation of dual language programs at the middle school level in three Texas school districts. It presents a multiple case study with each school district forming a single case study. The participants included district personnel over the secondary dual language program, middle school campus administrators, a magnet coordinator, and dual language teachers. The findings describe factors that impacted the implementation of the dual language program at the middle school based on each participants’ perspective in their current role within the school district. It also describes the factors that support the continuation of their secondary dual language program and the challenges still being faced in order to sustain the program at the middle school level. The study also addresses implications for secondary dual language programs

Psychosocial risk factors predict prescription opioid usage after spine surgery
No full textOutcomes associated with spine surgeries are not universal. Moreover, some patients continue to remain on prescription strength opioids after surgery. Pre-surgical psychological screenings (PPS) are conducted to assess for psychosocial factors that may affect surgical outcomes. The purpose of this investigation was to examine whether patients tended to continue taking prescription pain medications shortly after spine surgery (approximately 6-months post-surgery). In addition, analyses examined whether scale scores of the MMPI-2-RF predicted a greater likelihood of remaining on prescription pain medications following spine surgery/SCS after controlling for self-reported pre-surgical medication status and pre-surgical pain levels. Patients (n = 821) were administered the MMPI-2-RF and given a pre-surgical packet of other self-report measures including pain levels, pain medications, and surgery type. Analyses were calculated to explore the incremental validity of the scale scores of the MMPI-2-RF in predicting post-surgical prescription pain medication after controlling for pre-surgical prescription pain medication status, pre-surgical baseline pain ratings, and surgery type. Using presurgical prescription pain medications prior to surgery was the strongest predictor of post-surgical prescription pain medication use. Patients who underwent a spinal fusion reported less pain at the post-operative follow-up. Higher scale scores on Demoralization (RCd) incrementally predicted post-surgical prescription pain medication use and post-operative pain after controlling for presurgical prescription pain medication use, pre-surgical pain levels, and surgery type. Somatic Complaints (RC1) also incrementally predicted higher post-operative pain after controlling for pre-surgical opioid use, surgery type, and pre-surgical pain levels. Consistent with the literature, many patients continue to use prescription strength pain medications shortly following surgical intervention for back pain. However, patients who tended to be sad, unhappy, and incapable of dealing with life circumstances pre-surgery were more likely to continue to be on prescription strength pain medications post-surgery
