    Abstract: The concurrent validity of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities with four other well-known, frequently utilized tests, namely, the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration, Goodenough-Harris Drawing Test, and Denver Developmental Screening Test, was examined using 46 preschool children who ranged in age from 2 yr., 8 mo. to 5 yr., 1 mo. Each of the criterion tests includes activities that are present in the McCarthy, and that measure cognitive, motor, and perceptual development. Intercorrelations with other tests were moderately high, with the highest correlation found between the McCarthy General Cognitive Index and the Stanford-Binet IQ. It was concluded that the McCarthy alone is a possible replacement for the more time consuming test battery comprised of the four criterion measures.

    Abstract: To report an experimental study investigating the ability of nonporous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) covering on a metallic stent to retard the development of neointimal hyperplasia (NIH). Methods: Three groups of Hanford miniature swine underwent standardized balloon injury to both external iliac arteries. Group I animals (control) received balloon injuries only. Group II had the site of balloon injury supported by a properly sized, balloon-expandable Palmaz stent placed directly over the injury site. Group III animals received a Palmaz stent covered with PTFE graft. All animals underwent arteriography immediately after intervention and again prior to sacrifice and specimen harvest at 4 weeks. The specimens were examined grossly and histologically at the proximal, middle, and distal segments for NIH development. Results: Uncovered stents developed significantly more NIH (p 〈 0.0001) and greater luminal narrowing (p 〈 0.001) than the controls. PTFE-covered stents (group III) exhibited less NIH (p 〈 0.001) and luminal reduction (p 〈 0.01) than bare stents (group II) at the middle portion of the stent-graft, but the PTFE cover had no effect on NIH and lumen reduction at the proximal or distal ends of the prosthesis. Conclusions: PTFE-covered stents retarded NIH at 4 weeks, but only at the midportion of the devices; the covering did not prevent neointimal pannus ingrowth at the proximal and distal ends.

    Predicting Adult Under- and Over-Reporting of Self-Reported Arrests From Discrepancies in Adolescent Self-Reports of Arrests : A Research Note

    In: Crime & Delinquency, SAGE Publications, Vol. 63, No. 4 ( 2017-04), p. 412-428
    Abstract: Building on previous research, this article investigates whether discrepancies between official and self-reported measures of arrests as an adult can be predicted from such discrepancies as an adolescent. We use longitudinal data from the Rochester Youth Development Study to assess whether a pattern exists in adolescent and adult under- and over-reporting of arrests. We find consistency in under- and over-reporting throughout the adolescent–young adult life course. In other words, when respondents misreport the number of arrests they have experienced, they do so consistently regardless of age. This is reassuring for scholars using self-report data, as under- and over-reporting behaviors remain stable over this span of the life course. Finally, our models predicting discrepancies in official and self-reported arrests during the combined period of adolescence and young adulthood are both extremely strong. Our findings support the continued use of self-report measures as a valid indicator of delinquency.

    The Role of Juvenile Gangs in Facilitating Delinquent Behavior

    Abstract: This study examines alternative explanations for why gang members are more likely to have higher rates of serious and violent crime than nongang members. Specifically, three models are posited: (a) a selection or “kind of person” model; (b) a social facilitation or “kind of group” model; and (c) an enhancement model that combines aspects of the selection and social facilitation models. Each model has different implications for the rate of delinquency and drug use of gang members before, during, and after membership in a gang. Data from the Rochester Youth Development Study, a panel study that overrepresents adolescents at high risk for serious delinquent behavior and drug use, are used to compare these models. Findings indicate that gang members, as compared to nongang members, did not have higher rates of delinquent behavior or drug use before entering the gang, but once they became members, their rates increased substantially. Moreover, when gang members left the gang their rates of delinquency typically were reduced. These results are interpreted as being supportive of the social facilitation model.

    Measurement in the Study of Class and Delinquency: Integrating Theory and Research
    SAGE Publications ; 1994

    Abstract: Correlational studies of the relationship between social class and crime have tended to operationalize these concepts in a theoretical vacuum rather than developing measures that are consistent with major theories in criminology. This article explores the possibility that inadequate measurement may explain past findings indicating no relationship between class and delinquency. To do this we measure class and delinquency in two ways. The first is consistent with the prior empirical literature on this topic and includes measure of class based on a status attainment model and an omnibus measure of delinquency. The second way, more consistent with theories of delinquency, measures class using indicators of sustained underclass status and delinquency as repeated involvement in more serious street crimes. The findings support our hypotheses. Relationships are weak when status attainment measures of class and omnibus measures of delinquency are used. In contrast, the strongest and most consistent class-crime associations are found between measures of continuing underclass status and sustained involvement in street crimes.

    Shelter During the Storm : A Search for Factors That Protect At-Risk Adolescents From Violence

    In: Crime & Delinquency, SAGE Publications, Vol. 60, No. 3 ( 2014-04), p. 379-401
    Abstract: Using data from the Rochester Youth Development Study, the authors show that trajectories of past violence predict future violence better than other more traditional measures of risk. The authors then evaluate whether factors that can be manipulated during this time can both promote less violence for all individuals as well as protect against violence among those who are most at risk for more violence. This article finds that several factors protect youth from violent behavior but not from gun or weapon carrying. Implications of these findings for future research on risk and protective factors of youth violence and for strategies for preventing such behavior are discussed.

    Reciprocal Causal Relationships among Drug Use, Peers, and Beliefs: A Five-Wave Panel Model

    Abstract: Interactional theory posits a reciprocal relationship among drug use, association with drug using peers, and beliefs about drug use. Using five waves of data from a panel study of high-risk adolescents, two models are estimated to examine these assumptions. The results support the main hypotheses from interactional theory. Drug use and peer drug use are involved in a reciprocal causal relationship with the effect from drug use to peer drug use being slightly larger. Beliefs about drug use and drug use are also reciprocally related although the effect of beliefs on drug use is relatively weak. The effect of peer drug use on beliefs is stronger in later waves as compared to earlier waves, supporting interactional theory's assumptions about the importance of taking into account developmental stages of drug use. The importance of these findings for both theoretical development and intervention strategies is discussed.

    In: Clothing and Textiles Research Journal, SAGE Publications, Vol. 4, No. 1 ( 1985-09), p. 38-45
    Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop a multivariate method for structuring a sizing system for women's apparel. The I 977 suvey of U.S. Army women was the data base. The sample was limited to 1217 subjects who were White or Black and 17-3 5 years old. The methodology underlying PS 42-70, the current U.S. sizing standard, was studied relative to recent changes in body form classification, apparel production, and merchandising which support development of multivariate methodology. Examination of PS 42-70 as a classification system for the sample showed inadequate proportioning of overall body dimensions, particularlyshoulder breadth and body segment lengths. The experimental method used components 1 and 2 to summarize body form variation as the relationship between body thickness and length. A Principal Component Sizing System (PCSS) was constructed by partitioning the distribution of principal components 1 by 2 into 26 sizes. A per subject comparison of "goodness of fit" of PS 42-70 and PCSS showed PCSS consistently closer to subjecfs' overall body proportions than PS 42-70. The multivariate relationship between body thickness and length is fundamental to body form and size variation. Our results indicate that PCSS better represents that relationship for the sample studied.

    Abstract: A total of 192 subjects divided into 8 groups of 12 men and 12 women evaluated 8 chairs that represented 4 different models (executive, manager, conference and side chair) each with two types of covering, cloth and vinyl. The exposure period was for 2 hours at 78F/50%rh; the subjects all wore identical clothing under near sedentary conditions. The results showed that neither the covering of the chair nor the chair model affected the thermal sensations (feelings of hot, warm, cool, etc.); however, thermal comfort was greater in cloth covered chairs than in vinyl covered chairs. Three scales were developed which measured chair comfort, chair size and chair style. The Executive, Manager and Conference Chairs were equally comfortable, but significantly more comfortable than the Side chair; the Executive chair was judged larger than the other three chairs and women judged the chairs to be larger than men; and the Executive, Manager and Conference chairs were judged more stylish than the Side chair. The findings are discussed in light of the methodology and the Steelcase/Harris Office survey.
