does parenting mediate the effects of exposure to violence on violent behavior an ecological Transactional Model of community violence
Journal of Adolescence, 2009Co-Authors: Richard Spano, Alexander T Vazsonyi, John M BollandAbstract:Abstract Three waves of longitudinal data from a high poverty sample of 1544 African American youth were used to test an ecological–Transactional Model of violence. SEM analyses were conducted to determine whether parenting (Time 2) mediated the effects of exposure to violence (Time 1) on violent behaviors (Time 3). Findings supported the specified Model. Multigroup SEM analyses indicated that neither family structure nor developmental stage (early versus middle/late adolescence) moderated these effects. However, exposure to violence had a larger effect on violent behaviors in female versus male youth, although the difference was simply in magnitude, not direction. A final Model that predicted change scores also provided support for the hypothesized ecological–Transactional Model of violence.

effect of a Transactional Model education program on coping effectiveness in women with multiple sclerosis
Brain and behavior, 2017Co-Authors: Hormoz Sanaeinasab, Mohsen Saffari, Mahrokh Hashempour, Aliakbar Karimi Zarchi, Waleed A Alghamdi, Harold G KoenigAbstract:Objectives Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and progressive disease that causes stress due to its unpredictability and lack of definitive treatments. This study examined the effects of an educational program using a Transactional Model to help women with MS cope with their disease. Materials and Methods In a randomized clinical trial, 80 female patients from the MS Society of Iran were randomized to the intervention (n = 40) or a control group (n = 40). Outcomes were assessed using Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Jalowiec Coping Scale (JCS), which were completed by both groups at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months after the intervention. The intervention consisted of six educational sessions administered over 2 months based on a Transactional Model. The data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Results Average PSS scores decreased significantly over time in the intervention group, while increasing in the control group. Between-group differences were significant at both 1-month and 3-month follow-up (p < .001). Both problem-focused and emotion-focused coping styles improved over time in use and effectiveness in the intervention group, whereas little or no change occurred in these coping behaviors in the control group. Conclusion The Transactional Model-based education program tested here was successful in reducing stress levels and increasing healthy coping styles in women with MS. If these findings are replicated in future studies, widespread adoption of this program may help women with MS cope more successfully with their disease.

peer rejection victimization and relational self system processes in adolescence toward a Transactional Model of stress coping and developing sensitivities
Child Development Perspectives, 2016Co-Authors: Melanie J ZimmergembeckAbstract:Rejection and victimization by peers are significant stressors in the lives of many teenagers; both are highly salient and associated with developing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Conversely, emotional maladjustment can result in even more rejection and victimization over time. Given that rejection or victimization and emotional maladjustment mutually influence each other over time, researchers have asked why this occurs and how events unfold in adolescents’ lives. In this article, I describe relational self-system processes, including perceptions of peer relationships, sensitivity to rejection, attributions of cause, perceived control, and coping responses. I conclude with ideas for research and ways to apply the findings.

Transactional process of african american adolescents family conflict and violent behavior
Journal of Research on Adolescence, 2014Co-Authors: Daniel Ewon Choe, Marc A ZimmermanAbstract:This is the first longitudinal study of urban African American adolescents that has examined bidirectional effects between their family conflict and violent behavior across all of high school. Structured interviews were administered to 681 students each year in high school at ages 15, 16 17, and 18 years. We used structural equation Modeling to test a Transactional Model and found bidirectional effects between family conflict and violent behavior across the middle years of high school, while accounting for sex and socioeconomic status. FINDINGS suggest a reciprocal process involving interpersonal conflict in African American families and adolescent engagement in youth violence. Language: en
