Curvilinear Association of parental control for young children
Full text linkPrevious studies have examined parental control as linearly positive associated with externalizing and internalizing problems at a young age. Harris-McKoy found a curvilinear association between parental control and externalizing problems for adolescents, suggesting that there may be an “optimal range” of parental control. However, it is still unclear how internalizing problems are associated with parental control as well as a need for a more fine-grained correlation between the externalizing/internalizing problems and the different aspects of parental control. In addition, it is not known whether the curvilinear association reported in adolescents can be generalized to younger children. Thus, the current study examined the existence of a curvilinear association in 3-7-year-old children. We hypothesized that parental control would show a U-shaped association with externalizing problems and a positive linear association with internalizing problems as previous studies have found, whereby higher parental control is associated with more internalizing problems. Participants were a community sample of 68 children aged 3-7 years and their parents. Parents reported their child\u27s externalizing and internalizing problems, their parental control, including lax and physical control, and restrictiveness. We found that either very high or very low parental physical control, but not general parental control, was associated with more externalizing problems. There was no significant association between parental control and internalizing problems in the two-tailed test. Results suggest that moderate parental physical control is related to lower externalizing problems. Overall, the study advances our understanding of the complex role that parental controls play in children’s adjustments

Variably Innate: Inconsistent British Perceptions of Martial Races in the Late-Victorian Indian Army
Full text linkThis thesis examines the malleability of the concept of “martial races,” the classification system by which British imperial officers recruited soldiers for the Indian Army, the mainstay of British military power in India. Though led by British officers, the army was composed of Indian soldiers known as sepoys. Seeking to ensure the loyalty and effectiveness of sepoys, British officers only recruited groups they considered to be martial races. This imposed classification was based on traits, like physique and bravery, which were considered innate to certain Indian ethnic groups, referred to as “races” by the British. The concept of martial races was central to army organization, and the British did not question its validity. Using India Office Military Department documents, this thesis argues that just who was considered a martial race was the subject of much more debate than has previously been appreciated. A martial race could be lauded by one British officer but scorned by another. Different martial races came and went, recruited and discharged following the conflicting opinions of different officers. Sepoys were caught at the center of this back and forth, but they were not helpless, as the value the British attached to martial status, combined with the threat of mutiny, gave sepoys indirect influence over their compensation and treatment
Dementia, Rhetorical Schemes, and Cognitive Resilience
Full text linkI argue for the importance of rhetorical schemes for understanding, diagnosing, and coping with forms of dementia. Schemes give salience (recruit attention), memorability (affect storage and facilitate retrieval), and aesthetic effects (induce a pleasurable emotional response) to configurations of language. They do so because of the way they play to neurocognitive pattern biases, like repetition, sequence, and position. Dementia is a condition under which language use degrades, alongside memory and attention, but pattern biases appear to remain and schemic configurations become more and more frequent in dementia speech. Rhetorical schemes, that is, are notably resilient to the forces that diminish language use in dementia
