Social Ecological Predictors and Correlates of Latinos\u27 IPV Behaviors: A Systematic Review and Critique of the Research Literature.
Full text linkThe current paper utilizes an ecological level of analysis framework to review and critique the literature surrounding predictors, correlates, and antecedents of Latinos\u27 intimate partner violence (IPV) behaviors. More specifically, the ecological levels of analysis framework was employed to demonstrate how Latino males\u27 IPV perpetration is being understood and studied. A total of n = 34 peer-reviewed articles were reviewed and critiqued. Findings indicated that most IPV research is being conducted at and comprehended from the individual (n = 33; 97%) and microsystem/small group (n = 24; 71%) levels of analysis, while linkages to organizational, locality, and institutional levels of analysis are largely neglected. Researchers and interventionists appear to view Latinos\u27 IPV behaviors through deficit models, employ decontextualized and homogenized representations of the population, and neglect higher ecological levels of analysis. These three shortcomings in IPV research as it pertains to Latino populations must be addressed in future research studies if investigators desire to end the stigmatization and demonization of Latinos as a cultural and people group, and to maximize battering intervention effectiveness and efficiency for men of Latino origin
Latinos’ intimate partner violence, abuse, and interventions: Developing a LatCrit analysis and critique
No full textImpact statement: Critical race theory can help us understand how prejudice against people of color may affect the kinds of research questions scientists ask about social problems experienced by people of color, such as intimate partner violence. Our analysis of research on intimate partner violence involving Latino males shows that researchers most commonly study possible causes within individuals rather than the cultural, social, and historical contexts in which Latino families exist. Attending to positive aspects of Latino identity and culture in IPV research would reduce blame and stigma against Latino communities.

Critical Latino theories are described and reviewed and then applied to the literature on intimate partner violence (IPV) predictors among Latinos. The review demonstrates that the research literature on the predictors, correlates, and antecedents of Latino males’ IPV behaviors focuses largely on the individual level of analysis and consequently suffers from three main limitations: use of deficit models in research, decontextualized assessment and evaluations of IPV, and neglect of higher levels of analysis influencing IPV in Latinx communities. Implications for ending the stigmatization and demonization of Latinos and Latinx culture in research and intervention design on IPV are discussed, with a particular focus on improving the relevance and effectiveness of preventive intervention programs for Latinos.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The Exploration of Latino BIP Participants\u27 Experiences of Oppression and Expressions of Critical Consciousness
No full textAccording to Freire (1970), individuals and groups who are systemically oppressed in society often develop and struggle with a sense of internalized oppression, and those who fail to address their own oppression will likely engage in the oppression of others. Conceivably, this is the state of affairs for Latino males who perpetrate intimate partner violence (IPV). However, Latinos who use IPV behaviors are often viewed solely as villains or oppressors (Corvo & Johnson, 2003), omitting the various contexts in which this subgroup of males might be subjected to oppressive conditions outside of their intimate relationships. This contributes to an absence of understanding how partner-abusive Latinos\u27 perpetration of IPV is interconnected with their experiences of multilevel oppression (Perilla, 2007). Fortunately, by leaning on theoretical perspectives that hold synergy with the values and goals of critical community psychology (Evans et al., 2017), such as critical Latino theory (Valdes, 1997) and critical consciousness (Watts et al., 2011), we can begin to uncover how oppression influences manifestations of IPV amongst Latinos. The current dissertation study aimed to understand how Latino battering intervention program (BIP) participants relate their experiences of oppression to their use of IPV behaviors, and also investigated how critical consciousness is expressed amongst Latinos enrolled in BIPs. Additionally, the current study sought to explore BIP providers\u27 and Latino participants\u27 beliefs around the potential benefits of incorporating critical consciousness into BIPs\u27 curriculum. Focus groups were conducted with BIP providers and Latino BIP participants via Zoom, sampling from community-based BIPs that deliver treatment to Latinos enrolled in BIPs through group sessions. Inductive and deductive thematic analysis was conducted in order to analyze the data as it pertains to the present study\u27s research questions. The theoretical and practical implications that this research posits are described in great detail, in addition to the present study\u27s limitations and recommendations for future studies regarding the exploration of critical consciousness amongst Latinos enrolled in BIPs
Work-Related IPV Among Latinos: Exploring the Roles of Fatherhood Status, Gendered Expectations, and Support for Intimate Partner\u27s Employment
Full text linkIPV can spill over from individuals\u27 personal lives into their work lives. Men\u27s work-related IPV perpetration has been found to negatively impact their work performance and employment outcomes. Additionally, acculturation, lack of support for an intimate partner\u27s maintenance employment, and traditional gender role expectations may have an impact on Latinos\u27 work-related IPV perpetration. However, it is plausible that fatherhood can serve as a point of intervention for ending men\u27s IPV perpetration. The current study aimed to examine the moderating effect of fatherhood status on the relationship between various risk factors for IPV perpetration and work-related IPV behaviors among Latinos. Additionally, work performance and employment outcomes as influenced by IPV behaviors were compared by fatherhood status. The current study used secondary data collected from a larger project involving the development and evaluation of an intervention for employed survivors of IPV. Participants (n = 120) were Latino heterosexual men enrolled in a batterer intervention program. Measures include the Work-Related Domestic Violence Perpetration Scale, a work performance scale, an employment outcomes scale, a gendered expectations scale, a support for intimate partner\u27s employment scale, and the Language Use subscale of the Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics. Results generated from the current study will be utilized to inform the curricula of abuse intervention programs with the intention of enhancing programming for Latinos
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
