“…This anonymity may have decreased the likelihood of socially desirable responses (perhaps evidenced by the clarity of negativelyvalenced comments). Compared to some other studies (Walsh, Cromer, Park & Essa, 2012;Walsh & Weiser, 2015), this study had a larger sample. Data collection was also conducted one week after students completed the TGF activity.…”

This study focused on out-of-pocket expenditures from informal caregivers providing care to friends or family members. The main objective was to identify families most at risk for out-of- pocket costs associated with caregiving. Cross-sectional data from the “Family Caregiving and Out-of-Pocket Costs 2016”, a national study fielded by the Association of American Retired Persons (AARP), were used. Descriptive analyses and regression modeling were performed, using population weights. We found that caregivers with a child or children in the household had higher odds of out-of-pocket spending than did caregivers with no children in the household (aOR 1.97; 95% CI, 1.42-2.72). A dose-response relationship was present; those with high levels of caregiving burdens were more likely to report out of pocket costs compared to caregivers with a low burden indices (aOR 2.26; 95% CI, 1.66-3.07). These findings highlight the pressing need for further policy and program development targeting informal caregivers, particularly younger caregivers.

ABSTRACT. Students are often apprehensive about completing an upper-division, introductory research methods course in Human Development and Family Studies. To allay this apprehension, the instructor developed a different method of teaching the course with the intent of lessening their stress in order to facilitate a more positive experience. Students developed and wrote research proposals in collaborative small groups. The purpose of this paper is to describe the educational context and main features of the collaborative research proposal assignment. The authors also provide student feedback on the assignment. The article concludes with a discussion of the limitations and implications of this kind of pedagogy-centered research.

“…The list of 66 theories evolved from an analysis of human development textbooks (Walsh, Cromer, Park, & Essa, 2012), a content analysis of human development theories in early childhood articles (Walsh & Sanchez, 2010), and human development theory books (i.e., Bergen, 2008;Crain, 2000;Thomas, 1990Thomas, , 2005. Coders were asked to note the theory mentioned.…”

ABSTRACT. Flagship family journals have been analyzed for the extent of theory employment in published articles. However, there has been no exploration of frequency of theoretical references in the two leading developmental journals. Therefore, the authors analyzed articles from in Child Development (N = 1174 and Developmental Psychology (N = 1075) for studies' frequency of theory engagement. Methods of analysis, names of referenced theories, and locations of theories were recorded. Most articles did not explicitly reference theories. Although there was no difference between qualitative and quantitative research methodologies and mentions of theory, the authors coded very few articles as strictly qualitative. When articles did include reference to theory, it was part of the input (e.g., introduction, literature review) more so than the output. Names of theories that explicitly included "family" (e.g., family systems theory) rarely appeared. We conclude that developmental researchers are doing no better than their family counterparts in mentioning theory in their articles in flagship journals.
