A Smartphone-Based Ecological Momentary Assessment of Parental Behavioral Consistency: Associations with Parental Stress and Child ADHD Symptoms
Authors: Li James Janford , Lansford Jennifer
Published: July 2018

Inconsistent parental discipline is a robust correlate of child attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, but few studies have considered the role of inconsistent positive parenting on ADHD, as well as the effects of stress on negative and positive parental consistency. This study advanced a novel ecological momentary assessment (EMA) using participant smartphones to measure parental consistency, and examined its associations with family, social and parenting-related dimensions of stress and child ADHD symptoms. Participants were 184 kindergartners with and without ADHD and their parents. Harsh and warm dimensions of parental behavior were assessed using questionnaires, observations, and an EMA administered through parents’ smartphones, which measured parent-child behaviors every day for a period of one week. Family, social and parenting-related stress were assessed from questionnaires, and child ADHD symptoms were assessed from a fully structured diagnostic interview with the parent. Child ADHD symptoms were associated with variability in warm parenting behaviors, and higher levels of parenting-related stress were related to greater variability in harsh parenting behaviors. No significant interactions were detected between parental stress and child ADHD on parental variability. These findings suggest that different factors influence the consistency in parenting behavior, depending on whether positive parenting or negative parenting is assessed. Parent-based treatment programs for children with ADHD should include a stronger focus on reducing stress from parenting (e.g., teaching coping skills for parents), as this may lead to greater consistency in parental behavior more generally, and presumably better child outcomes.

The Challenges of Teaching Visual Arts: The Case of Moroccan Higher Education
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Nachit Mohssine
Published: July 2018

Visual studies are imparted as majors in many western institutions. This concern with visual culture stems from the vital role of images in communication and how they shape the mindset of the global citizen. Moroccan academia has recently introduced such discipline in some departments in order to modernize the curricula and enhance a liberal education. However, socialization and the dominant local culture favor a more conservative perception of images. The paper explores how these converging narratives operate and how students react to some modern values such as body politics, freedom of expression, subjectivity, etc. The last concern of this study is to analyze to what extent images interrogate and disrupt traditional norms and perceptions and contribute in developing students’ critical thinking, visual literacy, modernist perspectives, intercultural communication and mindfulness. The paper is a mixture of qualitative and quantitative research methods. It is first grounded in the postmodern theoretical framework, but it is also based on a four year teaching visual arts experience, classroom observation, and questionnaires. The ultimate aim of this paper is to share some findings with other practitioners, to address the impediments and challenges of university education and to contribute in designing modern curricula that smoothly prepare the students to embrace multicultural values.

Web Annotation as Conversation and Interruption
Authors: Kalir Jeremiah (Remi) , Dean Jeremy
Published: July 2018

This article showcases both the conventional and disruptive features of web annotation as media practice. To do so, we orchestrated a series of thematic exchanges about media practice, specifically those associated with openness and politics. We then publicly invited responses to our initial manuscript via the online web annotation platform Hypothes.is. The two thematic conversations inspired an ensemble of public contributors to join us in ongoing discussion for over a month, layering atop our source text over 100 original web annotations, creating a laminated and multi-authored document. Following this shared activity, we reflected upon our experience and the generated content, and authored a complementary synthesis that explores the tenor and tensions of web annotation as a disruptive media practice, as well as web annotation as performative publishing. Alongside public contributors, we worked a cyclical dialectic of process and product, discussing web annotation as disruptive media practice by publicly practicing web annotation as an act of co-created disruption. It is our hope that this experiment-turned-article, part collaboratively authored dialogue and part post-hoc synthesis, models and begins to theorize new and disruptive media practices for research design, peer review, and scholarly communication.
Perceived Grading and Student Evaluation of Instruction
Authors: Buchanan Erin Michelle , Huber Becca Nicole , Miller Arden , Stockburger David W. , Beauchamp Marshall
Published: July 2018

We analyzed student evaluations for 3,585 classes collected over 20 years to determine stability and evaluate the relationship of perceived grading to global evaluations, perceived fairness, and appropriateness of assignments. Using class as the unit of analysis, we found small evaluation reliability when professors taught the same course in the same semester, with much weaker correlations for differing courses. Expected grade and grading related questions correlated with overall evaluations of courses. Differences in course evaluations on expected grades, grading questions, and overall grades were found between full-time faculty and other types of instructors. These findings are expanded to a model of grading type questions mediating the relationship between expected grade and overall course evaluations with a moderating effect of type of instructor.
Citizens are not as misinformed as they first appear: Errors in estimates of population size reflect common psychological processes
Authors: Landy David , Marghetis Tyler , Guay Brian
Published: July 2018

Americans’ tendency to massively overestimate the proportion of Americans who are immigrants, Muslim, LGBTQ, and Latino, but underestimate those who are white or Christian has been well documented and publicized over the past decade. Previous explanations have invoked issue-specific mechanisms such as xenophobia or media bias to explain these estimation errors. We reconsider this pattern of errors in the light of more than 30 years of research on the psychological processes involved in proportion estimation. In a publicly available datasets featuring demographic estimates from 14 countries, we find that proportion estimates in macro-scale demographic situations correspond closely to what is found when people estimate much smaller objects in lab conditions, and when they make economic decisions. We conclude that demographic estimation biases are part of a very general pattern of human behavior—independent of the particular topic or demographic under consideration. Topic-specific explanations such as media bias and xenophobia must be reinterpreted in light of a richer understanding of how humans estimate quantities generally.

Loyalty has become a serious concern for the managers of tourist villages because the loyalty of tourists is a guarantee of tourism business to be sustainable. The purpose of this study is to examine how the loyalty of tourists can be created by the factors of the tourist attraction, safety, and amenities, with loyalty as an intervening, on the model of Community-Based Tourism development in Gunung Api Purba Nglanggeran Tourism Village. The analytical method used is path analysis with Partial Least Square (PLS). The results showed that the tourist attraction is a dominant factor that gives a positive influence on the loyalty of tourists through intervention variable satisfaction. Other factors studied, namely safety and tourist facilities are not proven to affect the loyalty of tourists. This research recommends that loyalty of tourists can be achieved through efforts to improve the quality of tourist attraction.
Variation in early childhood parental investment in a US birth cohort: The effects of race, socioeconomic status and place.
Authors: Sparks Corey
Published: July 2018

Parental investment can take many forms. This often takes the form of embodied capital. The ability to invest in a child may be compromised by the socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity and residential location of the parents. In addition, differential investment by sex may also play a role. This analysis uses data from a survey of children to examine disparities in parental investment by SES, race/ethnicity and residential location. Results indicate that after controlling for parental SES, children of certain racial/ethnic groups face a disparity in parental investment. This disparity is exacerbated by low parental SES, rural residence, sex and birth order.

The Impact of Interest on EFL Learners’ Performance
Authors: Journal Arab World English , Abdelaziz Zohri
Published: July 2018

This study sought to investigate Moroccan EFL students’ perceptions of the factors behind their interest and disinterest in university courses. Besides, it tried to explain how and why their interest in English as a major has increased or declined. Finally, the researcher tried to investigate whether or not there is a relationship between students’ interest and their achievement outcomes. 132 EFL university students took part in this study. Data was collected using group interviews and a students’ interest scale (SIS). The results indicated that students attributed their interest to content that provides them with novelty, competence and challenge and courses that engage them and develop their critical thinking and analytical skills. On the other hand, students blamed teachers, teaching methods and difficulty for their lack of interest in a course. Most students reported that their interest has increased and explained that by factors like mastery, goal-direction and language status. The results also indicated a positive relationship between students’ level of interest and their achievement outcomes.

A novel metric for responding to transport inequality
Authors: Cohen Tom , Shrewsbury John
Published: July 2018

Analysis of English data on personal travel provides new insights into the distributional implications of personal travel: not only do poorer people pay more in relative terms per unit distance for their travel; they also travel substantially more slowly than wealthier travellers. This implies that, in order to be useful to policy makers concerned about transport inequality, any measure of the costs borne by individuals when they travel must, as a minimum, include both time and relative financial impact. A tendency to omit financial impact is identified as one of several problems with the use of accessibility measures in this context, another being the general absence of individuals’ journey aspirations.In light of the above, an “index of personal travel impact” is defined, based on the journeys people would like to make rather than either their actual travel or centrally-made assumptions concerning “important” destinations. The index is calculated using income-adjusted financial impact and door-to-door journey time. It is made comparable across individuals by using crow-flies distance as the denominator. The formulation of the index is debated and steps toward its implementation discussed. Its potential usefulness in policy making is also briefly explored.

Between-litter variation in developmental studies of hormones and behavior: inflated false positives and diminished power
Authors: Williams Donald Ray , Carlsson Rickard , Bürkner Paul - Christian
Published: July 2018

Developmental studies of hormones and behavioroften include litter mates—rodent siblings that share early-lifeexperiences and genes. Due to between-litter variation (i.e., littereffects), the statistical assumption of independent observationsis untenable. In two literatures—natural variation in maternalcare and prenatal stress—entire litters are categorized basedon maternal behavior or experimental condition. Here, we (1)review both literatures; (2) simulate false positive rates forcommonly used statistical methods in each literature; and (3)characterize small sample performance of multilevel models(MLM) and generalized estimating equations (GEE). We foundthat the assumption of independence was routinely violated (>85 %), false positives exceeded nominal levels (up to 0.70), andpower rarely surpassed 0.80 (even for optimistic sample andeffect sizes). Additionally, we show that MLMs and GEEs haveadequate performance for common research designs.We discussimplications for the extant literature, the field of behavioralneuroendocrinology, and provide recommendations.

Published: July 2018

Premise of the study: Fossilized seeds similar to Cissus (Vitaceae) have been recognized from the Miocene of Kenya, though some were previously assigned to the Menispermaceae. We undertook a comparative survey of extant African Cissus seeds to identify the fossils and consider their implications for the evolution and biogeography of Cissus and for African early Miocene paleoenvironments. Methods: Micro-computed tomography (µCT) and synchrotron-based X-ray tomographic microscopy (SRXTM) were used to study seed morphology and anatomy. Virtual taphonomy, using SRXTM data sets, produced digital fossils to elucidate seed taphonomy. Phylogenetic relationships within Cissus were reconstructed using existing and newly produced DNA sequences for African species. Paleobiology and paleoecology were inferred from African nearest living relatives. Key results: The fossils were assigned to four new Cissus species, related to four modern clades. The fossil plants were interpreted as climbers inhabiting a mosaic of riverine woodland and forest to more open habitats. Virtual taphonomy explained how complex mineral infill processes concealed key seed features, causing the previous taxonomic misidentification. Newly sampled African species, with seeds most similar to the fossils, belong to four clades within core Cissus, two of which are early diverging. Conclusions: Virtual taphonomy, combined with X-ray imaging, has enabled recognition of the first fossil Cissus and Vitaceae from Africa. Early-divergent members of the core Cissus clade were present in Africa by at least the early Miocene, with an African origin suggested for the Cissus sciaphila clade. The fossils provide supporting evidence for mosaic paleoenvironments inhabited by early Miocene hominoids.
A virtue made of necessity: Is the increasing hierarchical complexity of sexual clades an inevitable outcome of their declining (macro)evolutionary potential?
Authors: Toman Jan , Flegr Jaroslav
Published: July 2018

The increasing maximal hierarchical complexity of organisms is one of the best-supported macroevolutionary trends. The nature and causes of this trend, as well as several accompanying macroevolutionary phenomena, are, however, still unclear. In this theoretical article, we propose that the cause of this trend might be the increasing pressure of species selection, which results from the gradual decrease of (macro)evolutionary potential (i.e. the probability of producing major evolutionary innovations). As follows from the Theory of Frozen Evolution, this process is an inevitable consequence of the sorting of genes, traits, and their integrated groups (modules) based on their contextually dependent stability, which causes effectively unchangeable elements of genetic architecture to accumulate during the existence of evolutionary lineages. Although (macro)evolutionary potential can be partially restored by several processes, a profound restoration of (macro)evolutionary potential is probably possible only by means of a transition to a higher level of hierarchical complexity. However, the accumulation of contextually more stable elements continues even on this higher level. This leads to the diminution of the modular character of composite organisms and a repeated pressure to increase the level of hierarchical complexity. Our model explains all components of McShea’s “Evolutionary Syndrome,” i.e. the trend of increasing the hierarchical complexity of organisms, the growth of variability among elements on the immediately lower level, and their gradual machinification. This pattern should be characteristic of sexual eukaryotes and especially their complex representatives. Our model also sheds new light on several related macroevolutionary phenomena, such as the gradual acceleration of the trend or the striking difference between pre-Neoproterozoic and Phanerozoic evolution.
Penanaman Nilai-Nilai Multikulturalisme Melalui Pendidikan di Indonesia dan Malaysia

Published: July 2018

Indonesia dan Malaysia adalah negara yang sama-sama menghadapi dilema multikultur. Sebagai negara bangsayang dibangun atas keberagaman, dua negara ini menjadi bangsa multikultural. Dampaknya, berbagai konflik karena perbedaan –etnis, agama, ras, adat, bahasa dan sebagainya-yang tidak dikelola dengan baik tidak terhindarkan di kedua negara. Gesekan karena perbedaaan telah menjadi pemicu munculnya konflik karena satu sama lain tidak saling memahami dan menghormati. Ketiadaan saling mamahami dan menghormati kerap muncul karena faham antroposentrisyang disebabkan oleh minimnya pengenalan terhadap kebudayaan diluar kebudayaan sendiri. Oleh karenanya, pengenalan kebudayaan di luar kebudayaan sendiri sangat penting dilakukan sejak dini kepada pemangku kebudayaan melalui proses pendidikan, baik formal maupun infomal. Proses ini kemudian dikenal dengan pendidikan multikulturalisme. Banyak studi yang membahas tentang pendidikan multikultural, namun belum banyak studi yang membahas tentang penanaman nilai-nilai multikulturalisme melalui pendidikan. Artikel ini ditulis melalui penelitian normatifmelalui penelusuran literatur seperti buku, jurnal, makalah, artikel dan berita media. Dalam artikel ini ditawarkan penanaman nilai-nilai multikulturalisme melalui pendidikan formal seperti sekolah-sekolah dan madrasah-madrasah dan pendidikan informal melalui lembaga-lembaga yang ada dalam masyarakat.

Two Comparative Perspectives on Copyright's Past and Future in the Digital Age
Authors: Armstrong Timothy K
Published: July 2018

This book review compares two recent titles on copyright law: THE COPYRIGHT WARS: THREE CENTURIES OF TRANS-ATLANTIC BATTLE by Peter Baldwin, and COPYFIGHT: THE GLOBAL POLITICS OF DIGITAL COPYRIGHT REFORM by Blayne Haggart. Both books are meticulously researched and carefully written, and each makes an excellent addition to the literature on copyright. Contrasting both titles in this joint review, however, helps to reveal a few respects in which each work is incomplete; indeed, each book occasionally reads as a critique of the other. Baldwin’s book places contemporary debates in a much deeper historical context, but in so doing overlooks some of the unique challenges contemporary technology poses to the law as well as the historically unprecedented obstacles that contemporary law raises to some forms of socially valuable innovation. Haggart’s book, in contrast, maintains a narrower focus on the contemporary era, yielding a superior accounting of the institutional and social interests now at stake in the global copyright debate, but fails in some respects to appreciate the ways in which the much lengthier course of historical development constrains future copyright policy-making. The review concludes by suggesting some respects in which both books might serve as valuable guides for copyright policy-makers at both the national and international levels.

The Chicago School, Human Ecology, and Neighborhood Effects: A Reappraisal. Paper presented at the 2012 American Sociological Association Annual Meeting.
Authors: Moehr Matthew J
Published: July 2018

Marxist, field theoretic, and feminist approaches are three viable alternatives to the ideas of human ecology. Since the neighborhood effects literature has grown from the traditions of the Chicago School and human ecology, it may be time to reassess the paradigm and look to improve its theoretical grounding. And without too much exaggeration, I would hasten to add that it is a critical moment to begin this project. In their review of the extant literature, Sampson, Morenoff, and Gannon-Rowley (2002, 444) drew a graph of the number of articles with “Neighborhood Effects” in the title for each year from 1960-2000. The most visible feature is the doubling of publications between 1990 and 2000. Along with the shear number of publications, the neighborhood effects literature is also important because it touches upon a number of current public policy debates. Without questioning the assumptions of the paradigm, we, as social scientists, will be constricted in our ability to explore alternative policy options in a number of fields like health, education, crime, job markets, and the built environment. Thus, the time is now to begin explicitly (re-)theorizing the neighborhood effects literature.
