Because past research indicates that stronger ethnic identity is related to better outcomes in areas such as academic achievement
and mental health, it is important to provide youth in foster care with opportunities to develop their ethnic identity. Using
data from in-person interviews with 188 youth aged 14–17 in foster care (88.7% response rate), this paper explores two areas
related to ethnic identity: (1) youth perceptions about their own ethnic identity, and (2) attitudes about ethnic identity
development specific to the experience of being in foster care. Results suggest that black youth and Hispanic/Latino youth
have a stronger sense of ethnic identity than white youth. Most youth are interested in learning more about their ethnic background.
Understanding how youth in foster care identify ethnically and understanding their beliefs related to ethnic identity may
lead to the enhancement of services provided to youth across child welfare, education, and mental health systems.

It is a stylized fact that marriage formation involves positive assortative matching on education. We also find this in the
case of immigrants, even when they tend to “import” their spouses and potentially trade off education for other favorable
characteristics. For Pakistanis, we find positive compensating differentials in terms of high education to youth having adopted
host country norms, when marrying a marriage migrant. This indicates that Pakistani marriage migrants pay a premium to be
able to marry and live in Denmark. For Turks, individuals having source country norms pay a premium in order to import a partner,
indicating that unspoiled traditional norms are traded off for education.

The relationship between minimum wage increases and youth employment is investigated using county-level data and spatial econometric
techniques. Results that account for spatial correlation indicate that a 10% increase in the effective minimum wage is associated
with a 3.2% decrease in youth employment, a result that is 28% higher than the corresponding estimate that does not control
for spatial correlation. Thus, estimates that do not take into account spatial correlation may significantly underestimate
the negative effect of the minimum wage on teenage employment. Improperly controlling for factors that vary systematically
over space can lead to incorrect inferences and misinform policy.

The Social Construction of Deviant Behavior in Homeless and Runaway Youth: Implications for Practice
This study examined the social construction of deviance in a sample of homeless and/or runaway youth in metropolitan Phoenix.
In depth semi-structured interviews with 14 youth were conducted, and the data were transcribed and analyzed using a qualitative
research computer program. The findings from the study point to an emerging theory, which suggests that ambiguous local policies
relevant to homeless youth (e.g., trespassing, loitering) resulted in their selective enforcement by local security and police.
Respondents described the ways that they adapted their behaviors to the environmental stressors resulting from these policies.
Implications for practice are discussed.

Violently-acquired spinal cord injury (VASCI) has recently emerged as a significant disability category. Identity formation
following such a serious injury is important for psychosocial recovery. However, research examining individuals with VASCI
is largely limited to epidemiological work prior to the injury and rehabilitation outcomes following the injury. This article
details the results from a qualitative study to understand how young men with violently-acquired spinal cord injuries integrate
the injury into their sense of self, as well as how the disability interacts with other aspects (e.g., racial/ethnic, gender,
etc.) of their identity. Eleven men in this study were all former or current gang members, paralyzed because of their activities.
Throughout the interviews four major themes emerged: environmental effects, making sense of the injury, living life on a split-screen,
and challenges to masculinity. For the men in this study, the negative associations between disability and dependency affected
their ability to integrate their injury positively into their identity.

Using a sample of 628 homeless youth and young adults from eight US cities, this study examines whether the relationship between
having been in custody of social services and suicide attempts, and the relationship between engaging in survival sex and
suicide attempts differ based on sexual orientation. Findings suggest that being in custody of social services is associated
with a significant increase in likelihood of suicide attempts for heterosexual youth, it does not, however, significantly
change the already increased risk of suicide attempts for sexual minority youth. Engaging in survival sex appears to be associated
with increased risks of suicide attempts for both heterosexual and sexual minority youth, but the increase in likelihood is
much stronger for heterosexual youth than for sexual minority youth. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

The economics of gay and lesbian couples: Introduction to a special issue on gay and lesbian households 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This article presents a simple conceptual framework integrating three couple-related outcomes analyzed in this volume: wage
differentials in earnings related to couple formation, household formation (including cohabitation and registration as Registered
Domestic Partnership), and intra-household allocation of income. It also discusses some of the articles’ main findings.

Juvenile justice—increasingly the service delivery point for adolescents with substance abuse and co-occurring problems lacking resources for other assistance—can be a model for improved and expanded, yet cost-effective, adolescent substance abuse treatment. An emergent standard of care challenges systemic inequities; a new service array facilitates dialogue among justice and treatment professionals, families, and the youth themselves. Such evidence-based practice—and the policy to implement it—have the power to transform disconnected laws, programs and professionals into an effective, efficient and successful community of responders, helping youth reclaim their lives while improving public health and public safety.

Do Reservation Wages Really Decline? Some International Evidence on the Determinants of Reservation Wages 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Using cross-country data, we investigate the determinants of reservation wages and their course over the jobless spell. Higher
unemployment benefits lead to higher reservation wages. Further, again consistent with the basic search model, repeated observations
on the same individual provide scant evidence of declining reservation wages.

Plurality rule is mostly criticized from being capable of choosing an alternative considered as worst by a strict majority.
This paper considers elections in which the agenda consists of potential candidates strategically choosing whether or not
to enter the election. In this context, we examine the ability of scoring rules to fulfil the Condorcet criterion. We show
for the case of three potential candidates that Plurality rule is the only scoring rule that satisfies a version of the Condorcet
criterion in two cases: 1) when preferences are single-peaked and, 2) when preferences are single-dipped.

Properly implemented, foster family care may represent a uniquely appropriate placement/treatment alternative for young children with pronounced or dangerous sexual behavior problems. A few programs have reported preliminary but promising results with such children in fostering environments specifically designed to address their special problems. This study details the salient components of one such program that has proven successful over the past six years with most of thirty youthful clients referred to it facing few alternative placement options. Rankings by program staff and program parents of the relative importance of ten program components to client success are reported, and updates on previously published outcomes with the first six clients to enter the program are offered. Subjective but important “lessons learned” by staff and parents about working with this difficult population in the fostering environment are also discussed.

As a profession, social work has always advocated for clients. Yet clinical social work settings often ignore this important
aspect of practice. For mental health services in public agencies, patient advocacy is a particularly vital element because
these systems are not always responsive to the individual client. The clinical social worker, trained in advocacy, systemic
intervention, and psychotherapy, is the professional most qualified to fill this role. The author summarizes the history of
advocacy, provides a conceptual framework for the clinical social work advocate, and provides examples from 20 years of experience
as a patient advocate in community mental health.

This paper analyzes how natural resource interests have been translated into political outcomes in the form of American climate
change policy. Incorporating data about natural resource use and national decision-making, this paper concludes that comprehending
fully political decisions about global climate change in the United States requires us to recognize how land-use interests
in the growth machine are translated into political outcomes. The findings of this paper suggest that, in order to understand
social phenomena more fully, sociologists must recommit to studying the conjoint constitution of natural resources and social
processes.

We study and compare equilibrium platforms in models of unidimensional electoral competition with two and four policy motivated
parties. We first analyze the plurality game, where the party getting the most votes is elected and implements its proposed
platform. Restrictions on the set of credible announcements are needed to get existence of equilibria. Comparing equilibria
with two and four parties, we obtain that moderate parties react to the introduction of extreme parties by proposing the same
or more extreme equilibrium platforms. We then study the proportional system, where the policy implemented is a weighted sum
of the proposals, with the voting shares as weights. Here, the existence of extreme parties leads moderate ones to choose
more centrist platforms. We finally test the robustness of our results with respect to, first, the enlargement of the strategy
space to entry decisions and, second, to asymmetric distributions of voters' blisspoints.

This study attempts to evaluate the relative impacts of parents, siblings, and classmates on youth smoking by employing longitudinal
data from the Waterloo Smoking Prevention Program (WSPP), a chronicle of smoking habits of students enrolled in various high
schools in South Western Ontario, between 1993 and 1996. The empirical results reveal household and classmate smoking to be
significant determinants of individual smoking participation as well as daily smoking. Specifically, an increase in the proportion
of classmates who admit to smoking and cigarette consumption by an elder sibling, are both significantly correlated with a
higher probability of youth smoking. This is a consistent finding across OLS, within-individual, and IV estimates. Finally,
simple OLS estimates suggest the presence of non-linear effects with respect to classmate smoking.

Using meta-analysis, we find a consistent positive correlation between emotion recognition accuracy (ERA) and goal-oriented
performance. However, this existing research relies primarily on subjective perceptions of performance. The current study
tested the impact of ERA on objective performance in a mixed-motive buyer-seller negotiation exercise. Greater recognition
of posed facial expressions predicted better objective outcomes for participants from Singapore playing the role of seller,
both in terms of creating value and claiming a greater share for themselves. The present study is distinct from past research
on the effects of individual differences on negotiation outcomes in that it uses a performance-based test rather than self-reported
measure. These results add to evidence for the predictive validity of emotion recognition measures on practical outcomes.

Despite unprecedented recent expansion of international volunteering and service (IVS), there has been relatively little research
on impacts. This paper proposes a conceptual model for impact research based on existing research evidence published in English.
The model suggests that outcomes for host communities, volunteers, and sending communities vary depending on individual and
institutional attributes and capacity. How institutions structure and leverage individual capacity influences who participates
and how they serve, and shapes the impact of volunteer action. The conceptual model provides directions for future research.

Agreeing on more than chicken soup: Intra-household decision-making and treatment for child psychopathology 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Frederick J. Zimmerman 《Review of Economics of the Household》2006,4(3):229-252
Using a large, U.S. dataset it is shown that children are more likely to receive needed mental health specialty treatment
when women have greater decision-making power, as measured by an index of wife-favorable divorce laws and by the sex ratio
at the time of marriage. Stratified analyses show that this effect is modified by the degree of marital conflict. Marriages
characterized by high conflict conform more closely to the unified household model. The paper then presents a model of household
decision-making consistent with these results that incorporates both objective determinants of bargaining power as well as
the role of violent coercion in maintaining otherwise unsustainable equilibria. Implications for improving children’s access
to mental health treatment are offered.

We use unique survey data, collected by the Workers’ Compensation Board of Ontario, to estimate the labor supply response
of disabled male workers to benefit payouts and their post-injury wage. Our data enable us to fill gaps in the existing literature
by estimating the hours as well as the return-to-work response for younger as well as older workers, based on objective rather
than subjective self-reporting of disability status. Our results suggest a strong positive incentive effect from higher wages
a and that lump-sum benefit payouts that are not reduced if earnings increased generally do not have adverse incentives on
the return-to-work and hours decision, except for an income effect over the longer life cycle of younger men. We also discuss
the policy implications of our estimates.
