THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ROLE MODELS, SOCIOECONOMIC MOBILITY BELIEFS, AND ACADEMIC OUTCOMES
Get PDFObjective: This study aims to provide insights into the relationships between role models, socioeconomic mobility beliefs and the education outcomes of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. While previous studies highlight the positive influence of role models on academic and career aspirations, the specific relationship between role models and socioeconomic beliefs remains unexplored. Our study addresses this gap by examining whether the presence of role models relates with more optimistic socioeconomic beliefs and how these beliefs, in turn, affect academic outcomes (academic engagement, academic intentions, and grade point average [GPA]). Additionally, we investigate the influence of role model characteristics to examine which role model attributes have a significant impact on socioeconomic mobility beliefs and education. Method: Data for this study was obtained via Qualtrics with a sample consisting of respondents that were 18 years of age at the time of the study. Findings: Race moderated the relationship between socioeconomic mobility beliefs and academic intentions. Higher socioeconomic mobility beliefs were associated with higher academic intentions for participants that identified as a minority, as opposed to participants identifying as White. Additionally, higher socioeconomic mobility beliefs correlated positively with increased academic engagement. Moreover, the education level of role models was related to participants’ GPAs
THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS OF PLACEMENT INSTABILITY FOR PREGNANT FOSTER YOUTH
Get PDFObjective: This systematic review examined the myriad challenges that pregnant foster youths experience in securing stable placements within the foster care system. Methods: Employing the PRISMA methodology, a literature search spanning September 2013 to May 2024 was conducted across various databases. The search strategy used keywords relating to foster care, pregnancy, placement stability, and associated factors contributing to instability. Results: Twenty-two relevant studies were identified, representing diverse research methodologies and geographic locations. A synthesis of the findings revealed that systemic issues inherent in the foster care system, including bureaucratic inefficiencies and resource constraints, exacerbate placement difficulties among pregnant foster youths. Individual-level factors such as age-related dynamics, experiences of neglect and maltreatment, substance abuse issues, mental and medical health needs, attachment difficulties, and the separation of sibling groups were additional key contributors to placement instability within this population. Conclusion: Understanding the complex interplay of these multifaceted factors is vital for informing the development of targeted interventions and support systems tailored to the unique needs of pregnant youths in foster care

The Exploration of Modern Life and Nature: A Public Relations Campaign Plan for Community Artists
Get PDFArt can unite individuals and foster a sense of community. When art is accessible, it can act as a meeting place for individuals to connect and share their experiences. It may also generate economic opportunities for artists and communities. In this scholarly document, I briefly discussed how artists, particularly community artists, use visual arts to create connections within communities and to preserve cultures. Further, I discussed the lack of research on public relations in the art field and the importance that public relations holds for visual arts. I explained the critical role my public relations plan and non-profit art organization will play in furthering the professional growth of community artists. My public relations plan explains how my non-profit arts organization will assist a community artist in marketing and creating relationships with key audiences. Chad La Fever, an abstract metal sculptor based in the Inland Empire, is the community artist on whose behalf I created the public relations plan. La Fever draws inspiration from his natural and cultural surroundings. Some of the approaches I used in this plan include Situation Analysis (SWOT), two-way symmetrical communication, relationship-maintenance, and relationship-building
Black Culture Foundation
Get PDFRatibu Jacocks interviews three members of the San Bernardino Black Culture Foundation, an organization that strives to uphold and preserve Black culture in the city of San Bernardino. The three members were Emil Latroy Ingram, Genevieve Echols, and Margaret Hill. The three discuss their backgrounds with Ingram as a member of the Ingram family and from Los Angeles, Hill from the west side of San Bernardino, and Hill from Virginia. Enchols mentioned that she was the president of the San Bernardino Black Culture Foundation. Hill was an executive producer. She explains that after settling in San Bernardino, she met many people in the organization that also worked in the educational field. The discussion then moves towards the history surrounding said organization, such as how there had been a name change due to a complication in filing and it had been considered a corporation by some. The original name of the San Bernardino Black Culture Foundation had been the Black History Committee. After going over the need to digitally preserve documentation, the group discuss the importance of getting youth involved in the organization. There is still a lack of youth involvement with events such as workshops for financial aid and scholarships, Easter egg hunts, the Black Culture Parade, and so on. They wish to remedy this, especially by trying to get young people in their 20s to establish an organization that will recruit younger people to continue the organization. When speaking about the need to get youth involved, Echo said that her motivation came down to giving back to her community and sharing Black history. Ingram said that he had to understand prejudice, targeting, diversity, and culture and would like to be remembered as a kind person with a commitment to the Black community. There is also the topic of San Bernardino’s diverse population changing. Hill does not believe that there would be a way to work in a united fashion and that there is a need to become involved in the same way that the Black community did in the decades prior. Back to the conversation of the parade, part of why it had ended is due to the lack of funding and the focus on giving scholarships to the youth. This also ties to a distrust within the Black community that spans hundreds of years of history and injustices. To be self-sufficient and be able to say that the San Bernardino Black Culture Foundation was able to do the funding themselves will be a good look. Following the explanation of the Black Rose pageant\u27s name, the three interviewees talk about the importance of exposure and self-esteem for young Black women. Echols also mentioned that she wants to see the continuation of the organization’s founding fathers. Ingram spoke about trying to drive the organization for as many years as possible into the future. With some talk about the senior king and queen, Hill ends the interview with some words about keeping the San Bernardino Black Culture Foundation alive and that she was able to reflect on the organization due to the interview. There is also some small talk between the group after the main recordin
MARIANISMO:CHALLENGING TRADITIONAL MEXICAN-AMERICAN ROLES FOR WOMEN
Get PDFWhile plentiful research has examined Machismo as a gender role norm for Mexican men, little has examined the role of women’s traditional Marianismo roles. Research identifies 5 “pillars” of Marianismo: family, virtuosity, subordination, self-silencing, and spirituality. I was interested in whether adhering to some traditional pillars of Marianismo (e.g., family) allow women to break away from other, more oppressive pillars (e.g., subordination, self-silencing). I tested whether traditional Marianismo beliefs impact women’s general mental health, and whether differences in traditional beliefs influence the degree to which women can be challenged to push back against more negative pillars by focusing on the more positive through a reading exercise. I experimentally compared the effects of traditional Marianismo beliefs on intentions to engage in subordination and self-silencing in the future. The hope is that this research can help continue the conversation around, and inform clinicians, about the connection between gender roles and the health of Mexican/Mexican-American women
