Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...
Longitudinal Studies01:26

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...
Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...
Observational Studies01:11

Observational Studies

Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One example of...
The Nativist Approach01:21

The Nativist Approach

The nativist approach to infant cognitive development proposes that infants are born with inherent knowledge structures that allow them to interpret the world almost immediately. This perspective contrasts with earlier developmental theories, such as those proposed by Jean Piaget, which emphasized a more gradual acquisition of cognitive abilities through interaction with the environment. One key concept in this approach is object permanence — the understanding that objects continue to exist...
Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Summary

A parent intervention improved STEM conversations and support for Latinx/Hispanic-Identifying (LHI) students by leveraging community cultural wealth. However, effects on family obligations and STEM values were limited, suggesting a need for more tailored approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Sociology of Education
  • STEM Education Research
  • Cultural Wealth Interventions

Background:

  • Latinx/Hispanic-Identifying (LHI) individuals are underrepresented in STEM.
  • Systemic barriers like racism and inequity impact LHI students in college.
  • Parental support is crucial for underrepresented students' academic success in STEM.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a parent intervention based on community cultural wealth for Spanish-speaking parents of LHI STEM undergraduates.
  • To assess the intervention's impact on parent-child outcomes, including STEM conversations, values, support, and family obligations.
  • To address the need for culturally relevant support for LHI students in STEM.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal quasi-experimental design with propensity score weighting.
  • Comparison of a treatment group (intervention participants) with two control groups (interested non-attendees and uninterested/unreachable parents).
  • Analysis of parent-child outcomes at six and 12 months using longitudinal latent trait-state structural equation models.

Main Results:

  • The intervention group showed higher state parental STEM conversations at six months compared to both control groups.
  • Higher state parental support was reported in the treatment group versus control group 2 at 12 months.
  • No significant differences in student perceptions of parents' STEM values were found between groups.

Conclusions:

  • Parental interventions focusing on community cultural wealth can enhance STEM-related communication and support for LHI students.
  • The effectiveness of interventions is complex, highlighting the need for culturally tailored approaches.
  • Further research is needed to optimize family support strategies for diverse student populations in STEM.
