Social support networks among families of children with craniofacial anomalies.

Health Psychology (1991)

Brooke A. Benson Alan M. Gross Stephen Craig Messer Gloria Kellum et al

Investigated the social support available to families of children born with craniofacial anomalies and the perceived degree of satisfaction derived from these relationships. Thirty-six children (1 month to 5 years old) born with craniofacial deformities (FD) were matched by age and sex to 36 children with no significant physical or behavioral problems. The Social Support Questionnaire-Revised, the Revised Denver Developmental Screening Test, and a semistructured interview were administered. Results indicated that parents of FD children reported less available social support and were significantly less satisfied with their support. Parents of children who had more severe physical impairments and were rated as less attractive reported having less available and less satisfying social support. In particular, the social competence of the child was the most important predictor of parental social support. This result is interesting as the parents of FD children appeared to underreport the presence of behavioral-psychological problems in their children.

The impact of religiosity on the psychological well-being of LGBT Christians

Journal of Gay & Lesbian Mental Health (2019)

Shilpa Boppana Alan M. Gross

Individuals who identified as LGBT and Christian were administered measures of religiosity, their religious organization's view of homosexuality, internalized homonegativity (IH), and psychological well-being, including eudaimonic well-being (an approach to well-being that focuses on meaning, self-realization, and optimal functioning rather than pleasure attainment and pain avoidance), depression, stress, and anxiety. Religiosity was associated with higher levels of eudaimonic well-being and lower levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Compared to participants who rated their church as rejecting of homosexuality, participants who rated their church as accepting of homosexuality had lower levels of depression and IH and higher levels of eudaimonic well-being. Moderation analyses indicated that church attendance moderated the relationship between religiosity and psychological well-being at moderate to high levels of church attendance, suggesting that church attendance plays a more important role than other religious practices in the relationship between religiosity and psychological well-being. Analyses indicated that IH and attendance did not mediate, nor did church type moderate, the relationship between religiosity and psychological well-being. Implications of findings are discussed.

Confidence Interval Robustness with Long-Tailed Symmetric Distributions

Journal of the American Statistical Association (1976)

Alan M. Gross

Abstract A variety of 95-percent confidence interval procedures have been examined in some detail using Monte Carlo techniques. These estimators were tried on simulated samples of sizes 10 and 20 from a spectrum of distributions ranging from the Gaussian to the long-tailed Cauchy. The robustness of an estimator is measured by both the closeness of its level to the 5-percent goal (robustness of validity) and its expected length as compared to its competitors (robustness of efficiency). Results include some quite robust procedures including some of the point M-estimators from the Princeton Robustness Study.

Brief Report: Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Among Pediatric Survivors of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Journal of Pediatric Psychology (2007)

Cara Reeves Shawna L. Palmer Alan M. Gross Susan J. Simonian Lloyd A. Taylor

Objective The purpose of the present study was to assess sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) behavioral symptoms among pediatric survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and to determine the relationship of these behaviors with cognitive late effects. Methods ALL survivors (n = 80) and a sibling control group (n = 19) were administered intelligence (IQ) testing, achievement testing and SCT behavioral items. Group differences (patients vs. siblings) were examined on the SCT behaviors and partial correlations were conducted to explore the relationship of the SCT behaviors with IQ and achievement, while controlling for age at treatment and time since treatment. Results ALL survivors exhibited significantly more SCT symptoms than the sibling control group and increased SCT symptoms were associated with lower IQ and achievement scores. Conclusions ALL survivors are vulnerable to SCT symptoms and these behaviors are associated with cognitive late effects. SCT symptoms may represent a behavioral component of cognitive late effects.

Child clinical applications

SAGE Publications eBooks (2005)

Alan M. Gross Ronald S. Drabman

The three-volume Encyclopedia of Behavior Modification and Cognitive Behavior Therapy provides a thorough examination of the components of behavior modification, behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and applied behavior analysis for both child and adult populations in a variety of settings. Although the focus is on technical applications, entries also provide the historical context in which behavior therapists have worked, including research issues and strategies. Entries on assessment, ethical concerns, theoretical differences, and the unique contributions of key figures in the movement (including B. F. Skinner, Joseph Wolpe, Aaron T. Beck, and many others) are also included. No other reference source provides such comprehensive treatment of behavior modification - history, biography, theory, and application.Key features include: three thematic volumes and over 430 total entries; five anchor articles in each volume provide context on major issues within the field; key words and lists of suggested readings follow each entry; and, contributions by internationally renowned authors from England, Germany, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.
