Oshri, Assaf; Duprey, Erinn B.; Kogan, Steven M.; Carlson, Matthew W.; Liu, Sihong – Developmental Psychology, 2018
During adolescence, a positive outlook toward the future (i.e., future orientation) can protect youth from the risks conferred by childhood adversity. Research to date, however, has largely considered future orientation as a static attribute. Developmental systems perspectives suggest that future orientation, when considered across time, will…

Fisher, Philip A.; Kim, Hyoun K.; Bruce, Jacqueline; Pears, Katherine C. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2012
Dysregulated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis stress response has been reported among individuals with prenatal substance exposure and those with early adversity exposure. However, few researchers have examined the combined effects of these risk factors. Patterns of HPA reactivity among maltreated foster children with and without…

Peters, Erica N.; Khondkaryan, Enna; Sullivan, Tami P. – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2012
Women who experience recurrent intimate partner violence (IPV) may use alcohol or drugs because they expect that these substances will help them cope with the negative physical and psychological sequelae of IPV. However, expectancies for alcohol and drug use have not been explored among this population of women. We used the Relaxation and…

The purpose of this study was to explore in Malawi the reasons given by convicted sex…

Although the methamphetamine epidemic in the United States has caught the attention of law enforcement and the media, the needs of the children living in so-called "meth homes" have not yet been addressed.
