McFarland Collection in Aerospace Medicine and Human Factors Engineering at the Fordham Health Sciences Library, Wright State University School of Medicine, provides an unparalleled scientific resource and data base for physicians, life scientists, engineers and others working at the leading edge of human progress, especially those in the areas of aviation, space and advanced ground transportation. The Collection is regularly consulted by those currently pioneering these fields and is an invaluable source of information constituting the base upon which future progress is being constructed. I met Dr. McFarland in 1958 and came to know him -well. I observed first-hand his pioneering concepts in human factors, enhanced immeasurably by his articulate communications. Starting in the 1930's, he almost singlehandedly launched the human factors effort in aviation, directly collecting data on airline pilot fatigue and other major operational flight safety aspects. Folio-wing Dr. McFarland's untimely death in 1976, an event -widely recognized as taking from us the father of aerospace human factors, his wife, Mrs. Emily McFarland, decided to deed his library and scientific papers to Wright State University School of Medicine, Fordham Health Sciences Library. This gift consisted of more than 6,000 print items and approximately 400 linear feet of scientific manuscripts, unpublished reports, research data and correspondence, covering 50 years of professional work and research by Dr.

  • ABSTRACT AHERN, LISA SENATORE. Psychometric
    ABSTRACT AHERN, LISA SENATORE. Psychometric Properties of the Parenting Stress Index – Short Form. (Under the direction of Mary Haskett.) Psychometric properties of the Parenting Stress Index – Short Form were investigated using a heterogeneous sample of 185 mothers and fathers of children between the ages of 4- 10 years. The Difficult Child and Parent Distress subscales, as well as Total PSI-SF, were found to be internally consistent. Confirmatory factor analysis did not reveal support for a three-factor model. Results were mixed in terms of support for convergent and discriminant validity. The PSI-SF Total and subscales were related to measures of parent psychopathology and perceptions of child adjustment, but not to observed parent and child behavior. Implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

  • Pathways from Pain to Resilience
    International Journal of Child, Youth and Family Studies (2019) 10(2-3): 5–24 DOI: 10.18357/ijcyfs102-3201918850 PATHWAYS FROM PAIN TO RESILIENCE Larry K. Brendtro Abstract: Abraham Maslow was among the first to hypothesize that most emotional and behavioral problems stem from unmet needs. Now, a large body of research on brain science, trauma, and resilience validates this concept. Humans experience emotional pain when their needs are frustrated. The most basic biosocial needs are for attachment, achievement, autonomy, and altruism. When these needs are met, children thrive. When they are not met, children experience pain-based emotions, thinking, and behavior. This article explores research and practical strategies for responding to the needs beneath pain-based behavior instead of reacting to problems. Keywords: developmental needs, pain-based behavior, attachment, autonomy, altruism, achievement Larry K. Brendtro PhD is professor emeritus at Augustana University, 2001 S. Summit Ave, Sioux Falls, SD 57197. He is currently director of the Resilience Academy, and works with the non-profit organization Reclaiming Youth at Risk (www.reclaimingyouth.org). Email: [email protected] International Journal of Child, Youth and Family Studies (2019) 10(2-3): 5–24 Universal Developmental Needs Most serious problem behaviors among children and youth are tied to disruption of brain- based needs, which are critical to growth and well-being (Jackson, 2014). University of Pittsburgh researchers Li and Julian (2012) reviewed studies showing that the active ingredient in all successful work with children and youth — now as well as throughout human history — is the developmental relationship. As defined by Bronfenbrenner (1979), this includes four essential elements, which are listed below with corresponding biosocial needs in parentheses: a close emotional bond (Attachment) increasingly complex tasks (Achievement) shifting the power to the learner (Autonomy) a relationship of reciprocity (Altruism) When these needs are met, individuals thrive.

Ghezzi/Thesis Advisor May, 2021 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by Kimberly Loudermilk entitled Parent Stress and ASD Severity: A Re-examination be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Patrick M. Ghezzi Ph. D Advisor Matthew Lewon Ph. D Co mmittee Member Maryann Demchak Ph. D Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph. D., Dean Graduate School May 2021 i Abstract The purpose of the present research was to investigate the relationship between ASD severity, as assessed by GARS, and parent stress, as assessed by the PSI and the PSI Parent Domain subscales in particular. Studies suggest that parent stress rises to the severity of a young child’s ASD for reasons related to the challenges of parenting and managing severe autistic behavior compared to moderate or mild levels. The participants were parents seeking Early Intensive Behavior Intervention (EIBI) services from a university-based program between 1996 and 2018. A total of 46 mothers and fathers (23 mothers, 23 fathers) and their respective 23 children participated. The present results suggest that a young child with mild ASD ma enable his parents the luxury of spending less time, effort and worry about managing behavior, leaving more time to spend instead on either their own well-being, and/or learning how to manage their child’s behavior more effectively.
