“…These three parameters were calculated and presented in Table 4. While comparing models obtained from maximum likelihood approach, the lower LL Full can be used as a sign of outperformance, given that fitted models have the same sam- ple and dependent variable (Finch et al, 2014). As can be seen in Table 4, the PPO model provides the lowest LL Full ; therefore, it outperforms the other two models.…”

“…6 indicates that residuals appear to be normally distributed despite the fact that there might be some issues on the low end of the distribution of residuals. However, Finch et al (2014) argue that the ceiling effect might play a role in such models, especially when a nontrivial number of respondents select the minimum scores for global warming concern.…”

The aim of this paper is to investigate factors influencing concern for global warming among 40 nations. Due to the hierarchical nature of the data, the study uses multilevel and Bayesian multilevel modeling to cross-culturally test the influence of nations' wealth, CO2 emissions, post-materialistic tendencies, religiosity, political orientation, and locus of control on concern for global warming. The results from 40 nations contradict the affluence hypothesis. The general pattern of the results shows that concern for global warming is a global phenomenon and not unique to the wealthy nations. We also found that concern for global warming is driven by religiosity, political orientation and internal locus of control. The findings of this paper highlight the importance of simultaneously assessing individual-and contextual-level variables in determining concern for global warming across nations.

“…Examination of the reduction in tau [(8.35-7.34)/8.35); Singer, 1998;] for the between person variance, and the change in R 2 for within person variance ((1À(7.34 + 5.99/8.35 + 6.87)) for the internalizing problems and intrapersonal strengths models indicated that .12, or 12% of both within person and between person variance in internalizing problems and 9% of between person and 8% of within person variance in intrapersonal strengths were explained above and beyond the unconditional model (Finch, Bolin & Kelley, 2014). The parameters for the covariates can be found in Tables 1 and 2. Hypothesis 1: Higher youth participation, on average, relates to higher strengths and lower problems Next, frequency of extracurricular involvement was added to both covariate models at levels one and two.…”

Although extracurricular participation has been linked to positive youth outcomes in the general population, no research to date has examined benefits for youth diagnosed with mental health challenges. Youth in systems of care (SOCs) receive a variety of services and supports that could help them capitalize on this potential for positive development, such as access to flexible funding to support recreational interests. However, research has not examined the degree to which the increased community involvement (e.g., extracurricular participation) sought in SOCs contributes to improved outcomes. This study addresses these gaps by investigating the relationships between both average and increased extracurricular participation frequency and breadth and internalizing problems and intrapersonal strengths among SOC youth. Findings revealed that, on average, higher frequency of youth participation was associated with higher intrapersonal strengths and lower internalizing problems. Increases in participation frequency were also associated with increased strengths and decreased internalizing problems. These findings suggest that efforts to implement supports for increasing extracurricular participation of SOC youth could improve their psychosocial outcomes beyond the benefits yielded via formal services. Taken together, these results provide support for advocacy efforts to integrate youth with mental health challenges into existing extracurriculars and to create new extracurricular opportunities.
