“…In recent decades, there has been an attempt to understand the influence of multiple contexts (e.g., schools, peers, and families) on aggressive behaviors (Eron, Huesmann, Spindler, Guerra, Henry, & Tolan, 2002;Tolan, Guerra, & Kendall, 1995). Although this line of research has largely focused on violence from the perspective of potential offenders, the current authors would like to examine sexual assault from the perspective of the survivor's ecological context.…”

National-, community-, and college-based studies have documented the high prevalence of sexual assault among African American women. Although African American women experience sexual assault at alarming rates, they are less likely to disclose or seek help in the aftermath of sexual assault. The purpose of this literature review is to provide a critique of the current literature examining the barriers to disclosure for African American women, such as intrapsychic factors, the damaging effect of an unsupportive response to initial disclosure, stigmatization of African American female sexuality, apprehension regarding racism, and racial loyalty. The authors provide a summary of the literature, gaps in current empirical studies, and needs for future study. Culturally relevant intervention recommendations are described. Finally, implications for sexual assault policy are provided.

“…This model may also be applied to explaining children’s antisocial behavior in inner-city areas (Tolan, Guerra, & Kendall, 1995; Eron, Huesmann, Spindler, Guerra, Henry, & Tolan, 2002; Richters & Martinez, 1993b). Highlighting the intersection of themes, much of the research considered at the outset of this review was based on studies of community violence and child development in US inner cities.…”

“…Based on their cognitive-ecological model, Eron, Huesmann, Spindler, Guerra, Henry, and Tolan (2002) developed and tested the efficacy of their prevention program, which targets child aggressive behavior. Their program addresses multiple levels of the social ecology by including a general education component, a peer-skills component, and a family component aimed at improving parenting and increasing family support.…”

The effects on children of political violence are matters of international concern, with many negative effects well-documented. At the same time, relations between war, terrorism or other forms of political violence and child development do not occur in a vacuum. The impact can be understood as related to changes in the communities, families and other social contexts in which children live, and in the psychological processes engaged by these social ecologies. To advance this process-oriented perspective, a social ecological model for the effects of political violence on children is advanced. This approach is illustrated by findings and methods from an ongoing research project on political violence and children in Northern Ireland. Aims of this project include both greater insight into this particular context for political violence and the provision of a template for study of the impact of children’s exposure to violence in other regions of the world. Accordingly, the applicability of this approach is considered for other social contexts, including (a) another area in the world with histories of political violence, and (b) a context of community violence in the US.

“…The use of more rigorous, intensive, individualized, and often more costly interventions would be reserved for individuals who did not benefit from less intensive, schoolwide programming. Eron, Huesmann, Spindler, Guerra, and Henry (2002) provide a model for researchers interested in empirically evaluating the impact of such multitiered interventions.…”

To advance the role of school psychologists in mental health prevention and wellness activities, in this article we describe (a) a social ecological theory for guiding school-based prevention research, (b) the role of schools in the development and prevention of depression, (c) a continuum of school-based support for meeting the needs of children who are currently depressed for preventing future internalizing distress for all children, and (d) social and political factors that must be considered if lasting change is to occur. We conclude with specific considerations for school psychologists.
