The Effects of COVID-19 on Parenting
Full text linkThis study examined effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on parenting behaviors. Parent Development Theory (PDT) (Mowder, 2005) suggests the greater social-cultural environment can influence how parents perceive their role in relation to their child. The PDT parenting behaviors can be conceptualized as bonding, discipline, education, general welfare and protection, responsivity, sensitivity and negativity (Mowder, 2018). Changes in society during the pandemic may have influenced parenting behaviors and overall family dynamics. To address this question, participants completed demographic questions, the Parent Behavior Importance Questionnaire–3 (PBIQ–3) (Mowder, 2018), and an open-ended survey. Results from the PBIQ–3 were compared to previously collected parent norms reflecting parents’ ratings of the importance of PDT-related behaviors before the pandemic. The surveyed sample, during COVID-19, consisted of participants who identified as a parent of at least one child living in the home during the pandemic. Results suggest differences between how the importance of each subscale of PBIQ–3 behaviors were rated by parents before and during COVID-19. Discipline and negative parenting behaviors were rated as lower in importance than the normative sample means. Qualitative survey data indicates when parents were asked about various changes during the pandemic, they specifically point to changes in family dynamics most often. The results suggest a possible pattern of disengaging from specific parenting behaviors following a prolonged period of time in the parenting role without respite. This study offers implications for psychological services with parents during a crisis
Discrimination, Depression, and Somatization: The Impact of Spirituality and COVID-19
Full text linkThe current study aims to fill gaps in the literature examining relationships between psychological symptoms (depressive, somatic), spirituality, ethnic discrimination, and stress related to the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It is hypothesized that stress caused by COVID-19 is associated with greater perceived discrimination, depressive symptoms, and somatic symptoms. It is also hypothesized that individuals experiencing heightened COVID-19 stress, and perceived discrimination would report increased depressive and somatic symptoms. Greater spiritual well-being is similarly hypothesized to decrease COVID-19 stress, depressive s, and somatic symptoms. Data was collected via self-report measures, including the COVID Stress Scale (CSS; Taylor et al., 2020), the Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire (Contrada et al., 2001), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD; Radloff, 1977), the Cohen-Hoberman Inventory of Physical Symptoms (CHIPS; Cohen & Hoberman, 1983), and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS; Paloutzian & Ellison, 1982). The findings of the proposed study will be conceptualized within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, increased popularization of the Black Lives Matter Movement, and increased incidents of Asian-targeted hate crimes in the United States. If findings support the research hypotheses, this study can be used to inform clinical interventions when working with marginalized populations and reduce the risk of negative mental health outcomes

AGGRESSOR STATUS AND ITS IMPACT ON INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW CASE SELECTION
Full text linkThe laws of war apply equally to all parties to a conflict; thus, a party that violates international law by launching a war is granted the same international humanitarian law rights as a party that is required to defend against the illegal war. This doctrine—known as the equal application doctrine—has been sharply critiqued, particularly by philosophers, who claim the doctrine to be morally indefensible. Lawyers and legal academics, by contrast, defend the equal application doctrine because they reasonably fear that applying different rules to different warring parties will sharply reduce states’ willingness to comply with the international humanitarian law system as a whole. In the two works on which this symposium contribution is based, I have sought to bridge this divide by shifting focus from the application of international humanitarian law rules to the enforcement of those rules. In particular, I developed “the unequal enforcement doctrine,” which would retain the equal application doctrine but would reduce its unfairness by disproportionately prosecuting international criminal offenders from aggressor states. I have developed and defended that doctrine in two full length law review articles, and I have applied the doctrine retrospectively to prosecutorial decisions made in the International Criminal Court (“ICC”) situations. As a result of this analysis, I maintain that although ICC prosecutors did not expressly consider the aggressor status of parties to the conflict when selecting cases, that status has likely been influencing prosecutorial decisions all along, sub silentio. The analysis thus supports my claim that who started a war matters intuitively and profoundly and that the answer to that question has significantly impacted international criminal prosecutions. This piece summarizes my two law review articles
THE TEETOTALLING WINEBIBBER: A CASE STUDY FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS
Full text linkCase studies are very effective pedagogical tools available to business and legal educators. Hypothetical fact patterns provide instructors an additional advantage of being able to modify facts to target particular learning goals for students. This article presents a substantial case study and teaching notes for a hypothetical international sale of goods transaction. The facts presented will necessitate student research and examination of a wide range of legal issues related to contract negotiation and interpretation, shipping and related difficulties that might arise during contract execution, and issues related to disputes over the quality of goods. Questions in the study require students to research and apply various aspects of the Convention for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), financing options for buyers and sellers, options for reducing risk, use of terms of trade (INCOTERMS) and risk of loss, Carriage of Goods by Sea Act (COGSA), Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and legal issues related to dispute resolution and jurisdiction in international business. The intent of the questions is to guide students to analyze and practically apply international business principles they have been exposed to in their studies. The case study is suitable for graduate level courses with facts and questions tailorable in either number or complexity for other students as the instructor desires

More Choosers, Fewer Choices? Supported and Medical Decision-Making Law Post-Dobbs
Full text linkThis Article focuses on two conflicting trends in the law of medical decision making. More states are adopting supported decision-making legislation, wherein an individual with a disability receives decision-making assistance from someone they elect to serve as a “supporter.” In the absence of supported decision making, adults with significant decisional impairments may be disqualified from making contemporaneous medical decisions. But with the advent of supported decision making, more patients with impaired cognition may have the legal authority to make contemporaneous medical decisions. While the number of people eligible to make decisions is potentially increasing due to widespread adoption of supported decision-making laws, states simultaneously are restricting access to some types of medical procedures including abortion, use of assisted reproductive technologies, and gender affirming medical care. This Article demonstrates that these two legal trends may result in more patients making medical decisions while having access to fewer medical procedures. That is, states are both facilitating and restricting patient autonomy. This Article discusses possible reasons for these conflicting trends and highlights directions for future research
