TL;DR: 16 empirical studies that investigated the effects of social interactive interventions designed to increase early social communicative skills of young children with autism by increasing their role as initiator of social interactions were reviewed.
Abstract: Growing attention has been directed at the relation between early social communicative skills of children with autism and subsequent development of these children's social and communicative functioning. We reviewed 16 empirical studies that investigated the effects of social interactive interventions designed to increase early social communicative skills of young children with autism by increasing their role as initiator of social interactions. To identify factors relating to treatment effectiveness, we analyzed studies in relation to participant characteristics, settings, target behaviors, training methods, and results. To determine durability of treatment, we analyzed generalization effects across persons, settings, stimuli, and time. Increases were found for social and affective behaviors, nonverbal and verbal communication, eye contact, joint attention, and imitative play. Limited generalization or maintenance of target behaviors was reported. Findings are discussed in relation to critical variables that may relate to treatment effectiveness in future research and practice efforts.

TL;DR: In this article, a Person X Situation model of sexual harassment is presented, which suggests that sexual harassment behavior may be predicted from an analysis of social situational and person factors. But, the model is not suitable for individuals with a proclivity for sexual harassment.
Abstract: This article presents a Person X Situation model of sexual harassment. In the tradition of Lewin (1951), this model suggests that sexually harassing behavior may be predicted from an analysis of social situational and person factors. Sexual harassment is a behavior that some people do some of the time. The social norms in specific organizational settings may “permit” sexual harassment. Certain individuals may possess proclivities for sexual harassment. When individuals with a proclivity for sexual harassment are placed in social situations that permit or accept this sort of behavior, the behavior is most likely to occur. From a review of research relating social norms in organizational settings and sexual harassment incidence, women are found more likely to experience sexual harassment in workplaces where men perceive the social norms as permitting such behavior. Research on sexual harassment proclivities in men also is reviewed. A profile of men who are high in the likelihood to sexually harass (LSH) is developed through an examination of correlations between the LSH scale and (1) standard self-report inventories, (2) social cognitive measures, and (3) social behaviors measured in laboratory settings. Possible applications of the Person X Situation analysis to different forms of sexual harassment are discussed.

TL;DR: Cupach and Spitzberg as discussed by the authors synthesize the expanding multidisciplinary base of knowledge about Obsessive relational intrusion (ORI) and stalking, presenting a comprehensive scholarly consideration of these behaviors.
Abstract: Authors William R Cupach and Brian H Spitzberg synthesize the expanding multidisciplinary base of knowledge about obsessive relational intrusion (ORI) and stalking, presenting a comprehensive scholarly consideration of these behaviors Their inclusive approach is reflected in the breadth of research represented, including social, clinical and forensic psychology, psychiatry, counseling, communication, criminal justice, law enforcement, sociology, social work, threat assessment and management, and family studies The work also draws upon the multidisciplinary scholarship on social and personal relationshipsThe chapters in this volume:*provide historical and definitional frames for studying unwanted relationship pursuit, and consider the role of such sources as the media, law, and social science research in shaping the contemporary multifaceted and multifarious conceptualizations of stalking;*elaborate the authors' assumption that much unwanted relationship pursuit owes to complications inherent in the processes of constructing and dismantling relationships, examine the factors that conspire to create slippage between two persons' conceptions of their "shared" relationship, and explore the cultural practices associated with relationship dissolution that tend to reinforce persistence in unwanted pursuit;*chart the topography of unwanted pursuit, offering a unique and comprehensive synthesis of relevant research bearing on several issues, and a review of the temporal stages and characteristics of stalking;*consider promising theories and variables for explaining the occurrence of unwanted pursuit; and*discuss the issues pertinent to threat assessment, managing unwanted pursuit and offering a comprehensive typology of victim consequences of pursuitThe volume concludes with thoughts about "correcting courtship" Drawing on the interpersonal competence literature, Cupach and Spitzberg speculate on ways in which enhancing relationship management skills could help diminish the incidence and debilitating consequences of ORI and stalkingWith this work, the authors provide a clearer picture of the current state of knowledge about stalking, and in so doing, identify productive paths for scholarly inquiry and ultimately bolster the effectiveness of prevention and intervention efforts The volume is destined to promote and publicize the multidisciplinary nature of stalking research such that cross-fertilization of interested fields might yield new and better insights It will be required reading for the cross-disciplinary community of academics and professionals who are committed to understanding and responding to unwanted relationship pursuit and stalking

TL;DR: The authors found that teachers' perceptions of the student's effort and students' perceptions that teachers are caring are each weakly associated with mathematics achievement for most students and that the value for math achievement of having teachers who care is substantial and mitigates against the negative effect of having been judged as at risk.
Abstract: This study uses information from both teachers and students to explore how the perceptions of each other’s investment in the relationship affects the productivity of the relationship. Using the National Longitudinal Study of 1988 PELS), I analyze the conditions and academic consequences of students’ investment in the relationship with teachers and school. I find that teachers’ perceptions that the student puts forth academic effort and students’ perceptions that teachers are caring are each weakly associated with mathematics achievement for most students. For students who are judged by their teachers as at risk of dropping out of high school, however, the value for math achievement of having teachers who care is substantial and mitigates against the negative effect of having been judged as at risk. The results suggest that social capital, as defined by a relationship that facilitates action, is especially high for at-risk students who feel their teachers are interested, expect them to succeed, listen to them, praise their effort, and care. Little is more tragic in American education than a student with hopes taught by teachers who do not expect success and therefore do not teach curricula necessary for progress. As students make their way through a system in which their opportunities are closed off by not learning material for the next step, many will leave the system, some in middle school and others during high school. Decades of research have underscored the importance of the teacher’s and student’s attitudes toward one another (Carew and Lightfoot 1979; Good and Brophy 1997; fist 1970), yet much less is understood about how the teacherstudent relationship becomes productive. A relationship that facilitates learning involves investment by teacher and student (Muller, Katz, and Dance 1999). The development of the relationship comes about from the factors that encourage each party to invest in the relationship. This study uses information from both teachers and students to explore how the perceptions of the other’s investment affect the productivity of the relationship. It analyzes the conditions and academic consequences of students’ investment in the relationship with teachers and school. For a century and a half following the founding of mass public education, the relationship between teachers and students has elicited general concern, accompanied by the recognition that students and classroom teachers may be

TL;DR: The authors found that self-reported marital satisfaction was not related to adult attachment classifications for either husbands or wives, however, observational ratings of couple interaction yielded differences for husbands, as compared to husbands classified as insecure, secure husbands were likely to be in better functioning couples who engaged in more positive and fewer conflictual behaviors.
Abstract: Previous research has documented connections between adults' working models of childhood attachment relationships and the quality of parent-child relationships, but less attention has been devoted to examining such links for intimate adult relationships. Twenty-seven married couples were given George, Kaplan, and Main's Adult Attachment Interview and each person was rated as either secure or insecure with respect to attachment. Self-report measures of satisfaction with couple communication and marital relations and laboratory observations of couple interactions were collected. Results showed that self-reported marital satisfaction was not related to adult attachment classifications for either husbands or wives. However, observational ratings of couple interaction yielded differences for husbands. As compared to husbands classified as insecure, secure husbands were likely to be in better-functioning couples who engaged in more positive and fewer conflictual behaviors. In addition, couples' joint attachment...
