description: Interleukin-17 (IL-17) family cytokines play critical roles in inflammation and pathogen resistance. Inflammation in the central nervous system, denoted as neuroinflammation, promotes the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Previous studies showed that IL-17A neutralizing antibody treatment alleviated Amyloid β (Aβ) burden in rodent models of AD, while overexpression of IL-17A in mouse lateral ventricles rescued part of the AD pathology. However, the involvement of IL-17 in AD and its mechanism of action remain largely unknown. To investigate the role of IL-17 in AD, we crossed mice lacking the common receptor of IL-17 signaling (IL-17RA knockout mice) to the APP/PS1 mouse model of AD. We then analyzed the composition of immune cells and cytokines/chemokines during different phases of AD pathology, and interrogated the underlying mechanism by which IL-17 may regulate immune cell infiltration into AD brains. Ablation of IL-17RA in APP/PS1 mice decreased infiltration of CD8+ T cells and myeloid cells to mouse brain. IL-17 was able to promote the production of myeloid- and T cell-attracting chemokines CXCL1 and CXCL9/10 in primary glial cells. We also observed that IL-17 is upregulated in the late stage of AD development, and ectopic expression of IL-17 via adenoviral infection to the cortex trended towards worsened cognition in APP/PS1 mice, suggesting a pathogenic role of excessive IL-17 in AD. Our data show that IL-17 signaling promotes neuroinflammation in AD by accelerating the infiltration of CD8+ T lymphocytes and Gr1+ CD11b+ myeloid cells.
title: Factors that Influence Marital Satisfaction in Couples Raising a Child with Cerebral Palsy
Creators: name: Stoker, Sarah L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2004

description: This study examined factors that influence marital satisfaction in couples raising a child with cerebral palsy. The theoretical frameworks for this study were drawn from family systems theory and the social ecology model.
Twenty-eight married couples raising a child between the ages of 3-17 years, with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy, comprised the sample for this study. Participants were classified as raising a child who is mildly/moderately or severely impaired by cerebral palsy. Participants were recruited through referrals of professionals working in local organizations that provide services and support for persons with disabilities and their families.
Data were analyzed using correlation, and two-tailed 1 tests. Analysis was based on the following research question: To what extent is the marital satisfaction of couples raising a child between the ages of 3-17 years with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy influenced by couple cohesion and adaptability, individual coping style, and sources of family and community support?
Statistical analysis revealed that for most couples, cohesion and adaptability as measured by FACES II were associated with higher levels of marital satisfaction. For wives, Coping Style I: Maintaining Family Interaction, Cooperation, and an Optimistic Definition of the Situation as measured by the Coping Health Inventory for Parents was found to be positively associated with their marital satisfaction. Husband 's coping style was not found to be significantly and positively correlated with their level of marital satisfaction. Analysis of family and community support were not performed due to low alpha reliabilities for both husbands and wives on the Family Support Scale, and the failure of its subscales to hold together. Bivariate correlations of the severity of the child 's disability with the parent's level of marital satisfaction were nonsignificant for both husbands and wives.
Findings from this study support the notion that marital satisfaction in couples with a child with cerebral palsy may be enhanced by couple cohesion and adaptability. Wives who cope by strengthening family life and relationships, and who have a positive outlook on liFe may also experience greater levels of marital satisfaction. Future research with larger samples of couples is needed to replicate these findings.
title: The Development of a Value Scale to Assess Familial and Social Values
Creators: name: Cole, Donna Marie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1971

description: The purpose of this research was to develop a self-evaluating instrument to assess family and social values . It can be used individually or in small group s of students at the senior high school or Junior college level . The variables rated are: familial, religious, sexual, and social values. The instrument is self-scoring and a schema is provided at the end of the test booklet to ind1cate the pattern of values as they are compared to the median or average scheme for the instrument.
The 36 items in the scale are responded to by a forced choice design of alternate answer boxes which appear under different combinations of value variables . An intensity of response is measured in the form of alternates ranging from zero to three. Each item must total to three points . This method of responding to the items produces data that are curvilinear; therefore, advanced factorial analysis of items is necessary to determine the exact nature of data that might be collected from such an instrument. Hence, the instrument is limited for research purposes . However, it is not limited for use as an individual or self-administering evaluative tool . The interdependent nature of the values can be studied by the individual and the instrument becomes a valuable teaching device.
A pretest situation involving 100 lower-division students at Utah State University reported the following results . The mean on the familial variable was highest, the intensity and frequency of response was greatest on the familial variable, and the intercorrelations on each variable ranged no lower than r = .59 to a high of r = .78. As a classroom tool, the Cole Scale of Values developed in this study should prove helpful for use in teaching concepts related to individual conceptions of familial and social values. Because of the interdependent nature of responses, and the indiscrete nature of any data collected from it, this instrument is only recommended for research when suitable methods of analysis are used.

title: Language, Social Interactions, and Attention as Predictors of Reading Development in Second Grade
Creators: name: Newland, Lisa A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2001

description: Social interactions between 153 mother-infant dyads in the laboratory were examined for associations with language and play preferences when infants were 14 months old. Later associations with reading skills, attention, and book reading were examined at the end of second grade. Mothers and infants were videotaped in a 20-minute laboratory observation at 14 months, and joint visual attention and social toy play were coded from the interactions. Language was assessed at 14 months using a standardized instrument, and mothers rated their own and their infants' preferences for specific types of play. A follow-up study, conducted at the end of second grade, assessed decoding and reading comprehension skills, attention and distractibility in the classroom and at home, and the frequency of mother-child book reading. A path model was constructed to examine predictive relations from infancy to second grade. The results suggest that early social interactions are both directly and indirectly related to language in infancy. Joint attention was associated with maternal responses during play and infant preferences for point and name games, which were in turn related to language development. Social interactions in infancy were negatively related to cognitive problems in second. There were small bivariate associations between infant language and play interactions with later reading skills. However, the strongest predictors of reading skills in second grade were children's abilities to sustain attention in relation to cognitive tasks in the classroom. The results suggest that early social interactions involving language and play may foster both language abilities and attention-sustaining abilities, which then influence the development of literacy skills.

description: Die Orientierung im Raum gehört wie die Orientierung in der Zeit zu den fundamentalen kognitiven Rahmungen, die unsere Wahrnehmung der Welt und zugleich unsere Sprache(n) strukturieren (vgl. Weidenhaus 2015: 17ff). ‚Raum’ hat daher als Kategorie und Theorierahmen in jüngerer Zeit in vielen geistes- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen zu einem regelrechten Paradigmenwechsel geführt (spatial turn; vgl. Hallet & Neumann 2009). Die Fremdsprachendidaktik hat diese Entwicklungen bisher nur marginal rezipiert und daher daran so gut wie keinen Anteil, sofern es um raumtheoretische, raumsemiotische und raumkognitive Dimensionen des Fremdsprachenlernens sowie die diskursive Repräsentation von Räumlichkeit und unterschiedlichen linguakulturellen Räumen geht.
Infrared absorption in arsenic-doped silicon

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The optical absorption line is 1s₁- 2p₀ at the absorption spectrum of arsenic doped silicon has been studied for various arsenic concentrations at four temperatures. The concentrations are .9 x 10¹⁵ cm⁻³, 1.7 x 10¹⁵ cm⁻³, 4.0 x 10¹⁵ cm⁻³ and 1.5 x 10¹⁶ cm⁻³, the temperatures are 4.2°K, 53°K, 77°K, and 90°K. Spectrometer broadening was accounted for in the observed line-widths. There was observed two temperature independent broadening mechanisms, concentration and strain broadening. Two temperature dependent broadening mechanisms were observed, phonon broadening and the statistical Stark effect. The five, broadening mechanisms are believed to account for the total line-width through the use of the Voigt analysis half-breadth method. A shift of the peak position with temperature was noted and a possible explanation presented.
Gravitational Waves from the Non-Perturbative Decay of Condensates along Supersymmetric Flat Directions

description: It has recently been shown that specific non-perturbative effects may lead to an explosive decay of flat direction condensates in supersymmetric theories. We confirm explicitly the efficiency of this process with lattice simulations: after few rotations of the condensates in their complex plane, most of their energy is quickly converted into inhomogeneous fluctuations. We then point out that this generates a gravitational wave background which depends on the inflaton sector and falls in the Hz-kHz frequency range today. We compute the resulting spectrum and study how it depends on the parameters. We show that these gravity waves can be observable by upcoming experiments like Advanced LIGO and depend crucially on (i) the initial VEV of flat directions when they start to oscillate, (ii) their soft SUSY-breaking mass and (iii) the reheat temperature of the universe. This signal could open a new observational window on inflation and low-energy supersymmetry.

title: Peer Groups and Adolescent Development in Traditional and Alternative High Schools
Creators: name: Coyl, Diana D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2000

description: This study explored the influence of peer relationships on students who have a history of school difficulties. Peer Relationship Surveys I and II assessed school-based peer group status, relationship qualities, school-related behaviors, attitudes, and intentions (BAJs); substance (i.e., alcohol and tobacco) use; and identity development in relation to experiences at traditional (survey I, retrospective accounts) and alternative high schools (survey II). Both surveys were administered in five classrooms to students at an alternative high school (i.e. Cache High) during the first academic term (August 1999) and in January 2000. Eighty-five and 83 predominantly Caucasian adolescents between the ages of 15 to 19 completed surveys I and II, respectively. Twenty-one students were interviewed.
The majority of participants indicated that peer group membership and status were less salient at the alternative school and that the quality of their peer relationships at the alternative school was better than what they had experienced at their traditional high schools. Quantitative analyses provided less support for the linkages between peer relationship quality, school-related BAIs, and grades, but interviews with students consistently supported the premise that supportive peer relationships contributed to improvement in school BAIs. Compared to responses about their traditional high school experiences, students reported more positive school-related BAIs and fewer negative BAIs at the alternative school. Analyses of differences or change in identity statuses showed that moratorium scores, which are characterized by greater exploration of choices in personal beliefs, educational goals, and interpersonal relationships, were statistically significantly different based on comparisons of responses to surveys I and II.
Findings suggests that school environments (traditional and alternative) do influence peer status, peer relationship qualities, school-related BAIs, grades, and identity status development. This study demonstrated that adolescents who were labeled as unmotivated and possibly academically underachieving in traditional high schools found that with encouragement and individualized attention at the alternative school they could change their school-related attitudes and performance. Conclusions from this study emphasize the importance of tailoring educational experiences to the needs of students rather than expecting students to conform to existing school structures and procedures, which are clearly ineffective for some learners.

title: Hour Concept Learning in Pre-School Children
Creators: name: Campbell, Faye Daines
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1971

description: The effects of sex and tutorial instructions were studied as they influence the hour concept development of the pre-school child. The research was conducted at Utah State University Child Development Laboratories with twenty-two, three to five-year-old children enrolled at the time. Each child received three training sessions with the author.
It was found that the twenty-two children who had received individualized instruction on the hour concept showed a significant concept of a clock when the large hand was always constant on the numeral twelve.
The findings indicate that there was no significant difference between boys and girls on their ability to retain the hour concept from post-test 1 to post-test 2. No significant difference was found in the learning ability between boys and girls in this study.

description: We use the stochastic quantization method to obtain the free scalar propagator of a finite temperature field theory formulated in Minkowski spacetime. First we use the Markovian stochastic quantization approach to present the two-point function of the theory. Second, we assume a Langevin equation with a memory kernel and Einstein's relations with colored noise. The convergence of the stochastic processes in the asymptotic limit of the Markov parameter of these Markovian and non-Markovian Langevin equations for a free scalar theory is obtained. Our formalism can be the starting point to discuss systems at finite temperature out of equilibrium.

Beide beziehen sich auf die Wendung der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften von Texten zu Bildern, die in einer Gesellschaft kulturell produziert und konsumiert werden. Die stetig zunehmende Informationsübermittlung durch unterschiedliche Bildträger führt in den modernen Wissensgesellschaften zu Wahrnehmungsveränderungen, die seit der Jahrtausendwende auch von verschiedenen Wissenschaftsdisziplinen verstärkt zur Kenntnis genommen werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund gewinnt die Fähigkeit, Bilder kompetent lesen zu können, sie zu dekodieren und adäquat zu interpretieren, an gesellschaftlicher Relevanz und sollte auch institutionell im Sprachunterricht gefördert werden.

description: The differences in the language labeling of Head Start or lower socioeconomic- class children and nursery school or middle-socioeconomic class children were studied in this research. Also studied were the differences among children within the two classes in their ability to label concrete objects and actions compared with pictures of the same things or actions.
Forty-eight children (24 Head Start and 24 nursery school) matched in sex and as closely as possible in age, were given a verbal labeling test which included questions in four areas: foods, animals, action words, and positional words. There were 40 questions, and half were of a real or concrete nature, and the other half were items in the form of picture questions.
The results indicate that there is a difference in the language labeling of the middle-class child compared with the language labeling of the lower-social-class child. Also, when responding incorrectly, the middle-class child more often than the lower-social-class child made a response that more closely resembled the correct response either in appearance or semantically.
The other finding was that there is no difference among children within each social class in this study in the labeling of real things or actions compared to pictures of the same things. In t he area of positional words there was a difference among the children within the two groups: in this group the middle- class children had more correct responses on the picture questions while the lower-social-class children had more correct responses on the concrete questions.

description: Femtocells are assuming an increasingly important role in the coverage and capacity of cellular networks. In contrast to existing cellular systems, femtocells are end-user deployed and controlled, randomly located, and rely on third party backhaul (e.g. DSL or cable modem). Femtocells can be configured to be either open access or closed access. Open access allows an arbitrary nearby cellular user to use the femtocell, whereas closed access restricts the use of the femtocell to users explicitly approved by the owner. Seemingly, the network operator would prefer an open access deployment since this provides an inexpensive way to expand their network capabilities, whereas the femtocell owner would prefer closed access, in order to keep the femtocell's capacity and backhaul to himself. We show mathematically and through simulations that the reality is more complicated for both parties, and that the best approach depends heavily on whether the multiple access scheme is orthogonal (TDMA or OFDMA, per subband) or non-orthogonal (CDMA). In a TDMA/OFDMA network, closed-access is typically preferable at high user densities, whereas in CDMA, open access can provide gains of more than 200% for the home user by reducing the near-far problem experienced by the femtocell. The results of this paper suggest that the interests of the femtocell owner and the network operator are more compatible than typically believed, and that CDMA femtocells should be configured for open access whereas OFDMA or TDMA femtocells should adapt to the cellular user density.

description: Im Forschungsprojekt Schulischer Mehrsprachenerwerb am Übergang zwischen Primarstufe und Sekundarstufe I wird die Entwicklung von Textkompetenzen in den schulisch geförderten Sprachen der Deutschschweiz untersucht. Es wird im Rahmen der Vorverlegung des Fremdsprachenunterrichts ins 3. bzw. 5. Schuljahr sowie der Umkehrung der bisherigen Reihenfolge (Englisch vor Französisch) erforscht, inwiefern sich diese Sprachen gegenseitig stützen und wie sich die Kompetenzen bei Lernenden des Kantons St. Gallen über die Stufengrenze hinweg entwickeln. Im Zentrum des vorliegenden Artikels steht die Lesekompetenz am Übergang zwischen Primar- und Sekundarstufe I. Es geht einerseits um die Frage, ob sich die Zusammenhänge in der Lesekompetenz zwischen den Fremdsprachen am Stufenübergang verändern, andererseits, ob sich die Lesekompetenz weiterentwickelt und dabei Französisch als 2. Fremdsprache von der 1. Fremdsprache (Englisch) profitiert. Aus unserer Analyse anhand der längsschnittlichen Stichprobe lässt sich in beiden Fremdsprachen ein signifikanter Zuwachs in der Lesekompetenz feststellen, der verglichen mit anderen Schweizer Studien allerdings eher bescheiden ausfällt. In den beiden Fremdsprachen bleiben die mittleren Korrelationen am Stufenübergang konstant. Es wird ausserdem ein Effekt von Englisch auf den Leistungszuwachs in Französisch nachgewiesen: Eine hohe Lesekompetenz in Englisch in der 6. Klasse wirkt sich positiv auf den Zuwachs in der Lesekompetenz in Französisch in der 7. Klasse aus. Der Zuwachs am Stufenübergang würde wohl größer ausfallen, falls die Umsetzung der Mehrsprachigkeitsdidaktik im Kanton St. Gallen bereits vollzogen wäre.
title: Social Class Differences in Cognitive Development of Children

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1969

description: The social class differences in experiences which lead to cognitive development of children were investigated. A sample of 20 middle-class mothers with children enrolled in the Child Development Laboratory school and 18 lower-class mothers with children enrolled in the Head Start program in the Ogden City School District was chosen by placing the children's names in an age-ranked order. Two mothers who met the qualifications of being lower- class, but not having children enrolled in Head Start, were also included in this study. An interview outline was devised to attempt to standardize the interviews. It was concerned with five areas: (1) activities outside the home, (2) activities in the home, (3) reading, (4) toys and play, and (5) imaginative or dramatic play. The questioning was concerned with two problems: (1) are there differences between the responses of lower- and middle-class mothers in the reading and verbal interaction or conversation in which they participate with their children; and (2) are there differences in their responses concerning toys, play, and experience as a means of promoting cognitive growth.
Differences were found to the middle-class child's advantages in the following areas: (1) activities outside the home, (2) reading, and (3) shared activities in the home. Differences were found also to the middle-class child's advantage in the areas of toys and dramatic play, but not as strongly evidenced as in the three previously mentioned areas.
The data suggest the following tentative conclusions which, because of the exploratory nature of the study, are stated as hypotheses to be tested:
1. Knowing the social class position of a family does not necessarily indicate the nature of the child-rearing practices which will be found to prevail in that home.
2 . Variations exist within each social class group, but, the middle-class home does provide important advantages in learning opportunities which are not available to children in lower-class homes. With in the lower-class homes, however, parent education programs such as are provided in Head Start, do operate to reduce the deficits encountered by the lower-class child. Increased efforts in parent education may further reduce this deficiency.

description: The purpose of the study was to compare the anticipations of the domestic marital role of single American and Chinese college students. The respondents consisted of 158 Utah State University students, 88 male and 70 female; and 135 Tunghai University students, 58 male and 77 female.
A questionnaire was devised to obtain their attitudinal responses, using the F test. The critical level was 0 . 05. The findings seemed to indicate that students of both sexes and nationalities tended to define marital roles in the area of domestic responsibilities similarly. In the majority of cases anticipated role for the husband was that of breadwinner and for the wife that of homemaker though no responsibility was considered as belonging to the wife alone, or the husband alone.

description: In optimizing the topology of wireless networks built of a dynamic set of spatially embedded agents, there are many trade-offs to be dealt with. The network should preferably be as small (in the sense that the average, or maximal, pathlength is short) as possible, it should be robust to failures, not consume too much power, and so on. In this paper, we investigate simple models of how agents can choose their neighbors in such an environment. In our model of attachment, we can tune from one situation where agents prefer to attach to others in closest proximity, to a situation where distance is ignored (and thus attachments can be made to agents further away). We evaluate this scenario with several performance measures and find that the optimal topologies, for most of the quantities, is obtained for strategies resulting in a mix of most local and a few random connections.

description: In einer quantitativen Fragebogenstudie wurde untersucht, welche emblembezogenen Kenntnisse bei angehenden, nichtmuttersprachlichen Französischlehrkräften vorliegen und ob sie sich diesbezüglich von fachfremden und muttersprachlichen Probanden unterscheiden. Weiterhin wurde analysiert, ob personen- und ausbildungsbezogene Parameter mit dem Emblemscore korrelieren. Und schließlich wurden die Probanden zur Unterrichtshäufigkeit nonverbaler Merkmale in ihrer eigenen Ausbildung befragt. Im Ergebnis fand sich, dass angehende Französischlehrkräfte signifikant mehr französische Embleme erkannten, als dies fachfremde Probanden taten. Trotzdem blieben sie weit hinter den Werten der MuttersprachlerInnen zurück. Personenbezogene Parameter korrelierten bei gleichzeitiger Kontrolle der Variable „Romanistikstudium“ nicht mit dem Emblemscore. Eine Ausnahme hiervon bildete lediglich die Menge der gelernten Fremdsprachen.

description: Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) has long been recognized as adapted to wetlands and those subject to periodic flooding. In Utah, Wilson (1955) estimate that 40 percent of the valley bottom land is flooded at least part of the year. Much of this land is very dry late in the summer. Forages such as Alsike clover tolerate flooding and some salt but do not perform well under drouth. Work by Bolton (1946) indicated that flooding for 49 day did not cause serious permanent damage to Reed canarygrass. The author baa observed Reed canarygrass growing in a shallow reservoir which is flooded 90 days or more. Reed canarygrass is also one of the most drouth tolerant of the cool season grasses when grown on upland soils.

description: Thermodynamic framework of finite strain viscoelasticity with second order weak nonlocality in the deformation gradient is investigated. The application of Liu procedure leads to a class of third grade elastic materials where the second gradient of the stress appears in the elastic constitutive relation. Finally the dispersion relation of longitudinal plane waves is calculated in isotropic materials.

title: The Transition to Parenthood: Predictors of Father Involvement and Marital Satisfaction for First-Time Parents
Creators: name: Cook, Jerry L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: This study examined some of the factors that influence father involvement for first time parent s. These variables included: general or cultural attitudes of father involvement, personal expectations for father involvement, and level of satisfaction with the marriage. A secondary purpose was to examine factors that buffer the decline of marital satisfaction associated with the transition to parenthood. It was proposed that marital satisfaction was associated with having similar expectations for father involvement, having father involvement that met or exceeded personal expectations, and accurately perceiving spousal identity. A final purpose was to create a model of father involvement, originally represented by the level of time, awareness, and support a father provides for his child.
Ninety-six couples enrolled in two prenatal classes participated in this study. Both mothers and fathers were given nearly identical surveys for the prenatal (or the third trimester of pregnancy) and postnatal (when the target child was between 3 and 6 months old) phases of the study With a 29% attrition rate, the final sample consisted of68 couples.
The results indicated that postnatal father involvement was predicted by the level of marital satisfaction and also by the personal expectations that both spouses have for father involvement. Results failed to support the hypotheses that father involvement would be significantly related to prenatal general attitudes of father involvement. However, there was some support that general (or cultural) attitudes change as a function of personal experience for father s; the standard set for other fathers seems to be based from and conform to their own level of involvement.
As expected, postnatal marital satisfaction for both spouses was strongly related to father involvement. Although postnatal marital satisfaction was slightly related to the similarity in spouses' expectations for father involvement, the exploratory analysis shows that spouses with high personal expectations for father involvement (during the prenatal phase) tend to experience high levels of postnatal marital satisfaction, regardless of similarity of expectations between spouses. There was a general trend for postnatal marital satisfaction to be high when father involvement met or exceeded personal expectations, and low when father involvement fell short of personal expectations. The exception is when expectations were high; spouses with high expectations tend to report high levels of postnatal marital satisfaction regardless of whether father involvement met, surpassed, or fell short of those expectations. Contrary to expectations, accurately perceiving spousal identity was not related to marital satisfaction. Implications are given.
The electronic spectrum of N₂O⁺

description: The Electronic transition ²Σ-X²Π of N₂0⁺ has been observed at high resolution and a more thorough analysis of the spectrum has been undertaken than was previously available in the literature. Twenty-four bands of the spectrum have been fitted into a vibrational energy level scheme. Of these, eighteen were found to involve only the vibrations Ʋ₁ and Ʋ₃. The remainder of the bands were ascribed to the vibration Ʋ₂, and were found to be explainable in terms of Renner effects coupling the transverse vibration and the orbital angular momentum of the ²π Electronic state. Rotational analyses of varying degrees of thoroughness have been made of seven bands. Various molecular constants have been deduced, including α₁, α₃, p ( the Λ - doubling constant), and q ( the 1-doubling constant of the upper state vibrational level 010).

title: Adopted Adolescents' Heterosexual Relationship Formation and Sexual Behaviors
Creators: name: Christensen, Mathew
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Adolescents' perceptions and behaviors about romantic heterosexual relationships and sexual intercourse were compared among adolescents living with adoptive, bio logical, and stepparent s. Data come from The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). In 1995, over 20,000 adolescents living throughout the United States completed a 90-minute in-home interview that asked numerous questions about romantic relationships and sexual behaviors. Add Health used a multi-stage cluster design to collect a random sample representative of adolescents attending U.S. schools.
Results showed that several demographic characteristics (gender, age, race/ethnicity, parent's education, and number of parents in the household) were associated with adolescents' perceptions and behaviors regarding romantic relationships and sexual intercourse. Descriptive mean comparisons not controlling for any demographic characteristics showed more similarities than differences between adopted and nonadopted adolescents' heterosexual relationship formation and sexual behaviors. A second set of descriptive mean comparisons, controlling for the influences of gender and number of parents in the home, showed more differences than similarities between adopted and nonadopted adolescents living in single-parent families. Adopted females reported many more experiences of rape and/or incest than non adopted females living in two-parent and single-parent families.
Multivariate regression analyses controlling for five demographic characteristics found more similarities than differences between adopted and nonadopted adolescents. Most Differences that were found were small in magnitude. Adopted males reported more idealism when asked to describe their ideal romantic relationships and more sexual activity when asked to describe their actual romantic relationships than nonadopted males. Adopted females were nearly three-and-a-half times more likely than biological females, and nearly two-and-a-halftimes more likely than stepfamily females to report forced sexual intercourse. Adopted females also reported more negative perceptions about the consequences associated with sexual intercourse than nonadopted females.
Findings about mediating concepts theorized to be the link between adopted adolescents' experiences and resultant outcomes were inconclusive. Findings overall showed that adopted and nonadopted adolescents' heterosexual relationship format ion and sexual behaviors were more similar than different. Differences that were found were most frequent among single-parent families and most substantial between adopted and nonadopted females' reports of forced sexual intercourse.
title: Semantic Influence and Concept Attainment of Slang and Its Effects on Parents' and Teenagers' Linguistic Interaction

description: The purpose of this research was to determine parents and teenagers slang awareness and when this awareness begins to appear in the vocabulary of the younger generation.
Two studies were construed to measure the intended purpose of t his research. Study A was conducted to determine if semantic influence and concept attainment of slang definitions would be greater for teenagers than that for adults. The instrument was an open ended word list consisting of 25 slang terms. Criterion for the selection of words was assessed by determining if each word used could be found in three of the five sources. They not only need to be present, but also have the same or related definition. It was thought that these words would be the ones generally accepted as having a universal meaning. These words were also characterized by having:

Dictionary definition--The definition found in any abridged dictionary.
Traditional slang definition--The general slang usage as indicated by the dictionary.
Drug slang definition--The definition used in the drug culture.

Study B was conducted to evaluate the terms used to determine at v1hat grade level these terms appear in the vocabulary of the younger generation. The sane word list used in Study A was used in Study B, only instead of writing a definition, subjects were asked to write next to each word, the first drug word that came to their mind in association to the stimulus word, and if they couldn't think of a drug word, then any word.
The findings of Study A indicate that an interaction barrier of slang understanding does exist between parents and teenagers. A t-test was computed on the dictionary definitions of parents and teenagers, as was on each of the traditional slang and drug slang definitions. There was no significant differences in the understanding of dictionary meanings; however, both the traditional and drug slang were significant at beyond the .01 level.
From the results of Study B, one can with some certainty depict the period that one begins understanding slang terminology , Though some Elementary subjects have a slang knowledge, the results suggest that from the Junior High on through College there is a steady increase of one's understanding of slang terms.
