Legal Disputes Over Frozen Embryos After Dobbs: A Retrospective Study of Claims, Contracts, and Liability in Cases of Divorce or Separation
Full text linkThis study reviewed legal claims and clinic liability over disputed frozen embryos in cases of divorce or separation. Our data shows that one-third of cases had no prior arrangement regarding disposition about what to do in the event of separation or divorce. When agreements were in place they were rarely clear enough to determine the court’s resolution in these cases. In a post-Dobbs era, absence of adequate guidance could have significant implications regarding liability for all parties
Ethnic Differences in Parenting Beliefs: Discipline, General Welfare and Protection, and Negative Parenting Practices
Full text linkPrior research reveals significant ethnic variations in parenting behaviors and beliefs. Despite widespread knowledge of the adverse effects of harsh parenting, the factors influencing support for such practices among different ethnic groups remain underexplored. This gap in the research highlights a need to investigate parenting beliefs across ethnic groups, particularly concerning discipline, meeting behavioral expectations, and children’s welfare and safety within the context of support for harsh parenting. Utilizing Parent Development Theory and the APA’s Multicultural Guidelines, this study analyzed archival data from the Parent Behavior Importance Questionnaire-Third Edition (PBIQ-3) to investigate ethnic differences in parenting beliefs, focusing on discipline, general welfare and protection, and negative parenting. Results indicate that Black and Hispanic participants tend to emphasize discipline more than the overall sample and general welfare and protection more than White and Asian participants. Black, Hispanic, and Asian participants showed more support for harsh parenting compared to the overall sample, while White participants demonstrated less support. However, no significant differences in discipline or support for harsh parenting practices were found between Black and White participants. Results also reveal that among Black, White, and Hispanic participants, more importance on discipline correlates with increased support for harsh parenting, though more importance on general welfare and protection correlates with decreased support. Findings suggest that despite possibly stringent disciplinary values, a strong emphasis on general welfare and protection may mitigate support for harsh parenting. These findings highlight the need for culturally sensitive parenting interventions and cultural competence training for professionals working with diverse backgrounds
Resilience: Understanding the Role of Coping in a Racialized Society Among Black Women
Full text linkThe present study explored the intricate relationships between race-based stress, coping strategies (Emotion-focused, Problem-focused, Avoidant coping), the Black Superwoman Schema, resilience, and health outcomes among Black women. Employing a mixed-methods design, an online survey (N = 97) and in-depth semi-structured interviews (N = 10) were conducted, with five transcripts selected for detailed thematic analysis. Quantitative results revealed significant relationships between race-based stress, coping strategies, and adherence to the Black Superwoman Schema. Specifically, race-based stress predicted lower levels of general health, while adherence to the Black Superwoman Schema was associated with diverse coping strategies and higher levels of race-based resilience. Moderation analyses highlighted the nuanced roles of racial centrality and spiritual well-being in these dynamics. Qualitative findings emphasized the importance of social support, identity affirmation, and culturally specific coping mechanisms in fostering resilience. Participants described coping with race-based stress as an ongoing, dynamic process involving narrative agency, where personal storytelling played an important role in resilience. This study introduces the concept of resilience as a narrative agency, extending traditional resilience models by emphasizing the active role of narrative in shaping personal and collective experiences. The findings advocate for culturally responsive interventions that incorporate narrative resilience, address the constraints of the Black Superwoman Schema, and recognize the vital role of spirituality and identity in promoting mental health and well-being among Black women
Secondary Math Teachers’ Responses to Errors in the Classroom
Full text linkThis study was conducted in an effort to find out how modern-day secondary math teachers respond to errors in their classrooms and the reasonings behind their responses. To fulfill the purpose of this study, various methods of research were used to gather information. Methods included looking into the scholarly sources surrounding the topic as well as a primary-conducted study in the field. Participants of this study were high school math teachers. The participants engaged in two semi-structured interviews (an initial and a debrief) as well as an observation that was conducted during one of their classes. Through the initial interview, teachers shared their views on errors and error correction in their classrooms. The observation served as a controlled component to see first-hand how the participants respond to errors during normal instruction. The debrief allowed the participants to reflect on how they addressed specific errors during the observation and why they responded in a given way. The majority of the scholarly research surrounding this topic focused on teachers’ views on errors, the reasoning behind teachers’ responses, and different types of responses for specific error situations. The results from this research indicate that teachers respond to errors in various ways; whether the response is student-centered or content-centered. Teacher responses are heavily influenced by their views on errors as well as their efforts to use the error as an opportunity for learning while not harming students’ academic confidence

Some Lessons for Crafting a State Constitution-Based Right to a Clean Environment
Full text linkWhile New York most recently added an environmental rights amendment to its constitution, Pennsylvania and Montana have had these amendments in their constitutions since the seventies. Hawaii, Rhode Island, Illinois, and Massachusetts have enacted weaker iterations of rights to a clean environment. Other states, like Maine, have faced challenges that blocked an amendment’s passage. This Article provides an initial analysis of the state environmental rights amendments currently in place, examining their origins, language, placement in the constitutions, and the major judicial decisions impacting their interpretation. It concludes by comparing the existing environmental rights amendments to the proposed amendment that failed to clear Maine’s legislature and suggests model language for future environ- mental rights amendments
