“…This allowed us to inspect the relationship between four variables of interest and an outcome while controlling for the level of the other dependent variables. This model included random intercepts at both school and country level, separating all observation dependencies and allowing us to draw cluster-specific inferences for school learning environments (McNeish et al 2017). With the appropriate centering, this model supports the estimation of the overall mean of our covariate of interest across all samples (Brincks et al 2017).…”

Past research has shown that students in schools with greater levels of open classroom discussion, have more positive attitudes toward other groups and hold more democratic attitudes. Students do not learn citizenry only by knowledge acquisition; school practices such as classroom discussion foster critical thinking, help students to understand others and reduce closed-mindedness. Students with a higher exposure to classroom discussion were hypothesized to display more tolerant attitudes to other groups and hold more egalitarian values in general. The analytical strategy in this chapter uses a three-level path analysis with support for equal rights for women, for all ethnic/racial groups and for immigrants as outcomes. Appropriate variable centering and random intercepts for schools and countries enabled relationships between classroom discussion and the outcomes to be determined. Open classroom discussion was found to be positively related to egalitarian values across all samples, accounting for 5 to 8% of school variance, depending on the outcome.

“…Clustered standard errors correct for non-independence of observations (see McNeish et al, 2017 for a general description of the technique, and; Cheung, 2014 for a somewhat similar meta-analytic approach). Effects were weighted by the inverse of the sampling variance multiplied by the inverse of the number of effect sizes derived per sample.…”

Substance use has long been associated with close relationship distress. While the direction of influence for this association has not been established, it has often been assumed that substance use is the causal agent and that close relationship distress is the effect. But research seeking to establish temporal precedence in this link has produced mixed findings. Further, theoretical models of substance use and close relationship processes present the plausibility of the inverse pathway—that insecure close relationships may serve as a vulnerability factor for the development of later substance problems. The current review applies an attachment-theoretical framework to the association between close social bonds and substance use and substance-related problems. Targeting longitudinal studies of attachment and substance use, we examined 665 effect sizes drawn from 34 samples (total N=56,721) spanning time frames ranging from 1 month to 20 years (M=3.8 years). Results revealed a significant prospective correlation between earlier attachment and later substance use (r =−.11, 95%CI=−.14 to −0.08). Further, cross-lagged coefficients were calculated which parsed auto-regressive effects, indicating that lower attachment security temporally preceded increases in substance use (r=−.05, 95%CI=−.06 to −.04). Analyses further indicated that the pathway from earlier attachment to later substance use was significantly stronger than that from earlier substance use to later attachment. Results also revealed several moderators of the attachment-substance use link. These findings suggest that insecure attachment may be a vulnerability factor for substance use, and indicate close relationship quality as a promising line of inquiry in research on substance use disorder risk.

“…Our data did not meet these thresholds (i.e., design effects ranged from 1.48 to 1.53), indicating that a general analysis was more appropriate. We chose TYPE=COMPLEX to take into account the nesting in our data (i.e., individuals who had experienced multiple events; McNeish et al, 2017). 4,5 We thank an anonymous reviewer for this suggestion.…”

In the Aftermath of Unfair Events: Understanding the Differential Effects of Anxiety and Anger

After decades of domination by social exchange theory and its focus on a manager-centered perspective, fairness scholars have recently issued numerous calls to shift attention toward understanding employees’ subjective “lived-through” experiences and in situ responses to unfair events. Using appraisal theories, we argue that focusing on the employee’s perspective highlights the importance of emotions in fairness experiences. Further, this emphasis creates opportunities for novel insights regarding the emotions that are likely to be relevant, the constructive responses that can emerge from unfairness, and the interplay between unfair events and entity fairness judgments. Using a daily diary study with event sampling, we highlight the importance of anger and anxiety in understanding how individuals experience and react to unfair events. Results indicated that anger elicited counterproductive work behaviors, whereas anxiety initiated problem prevention behaviors (i.e., a subdimension of proactive work behavior). Further, by engaging in problem prevention behaviors, employees can positively influence their subsequent overall fairness judgments. Experiences of an unfair event can also be shaped by individuals’ preexisting overall fairness judgments, such that preexisting overall fairness judgments are negatively associated with anger but positively associated with anxiety. Implications for theory and practice are discussed, including the influential role of emotions for fairness experiences, how employees’ own behaviors can influence subsequent overall fairness judgments, the interplay between unfair events and entity judgments, and ensuring that fairness is effectively managed on a daily basis.
