gjcpp: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called gjcpp.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Psychology; Practice; Global; Health; Social; People; Change; Development; Que; Children; Violence; Education; Care; Recovery; Conference; Native; Editor

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Emerging Hope: Outcomes of a One-Day Surf Therapy Program with Youth At-Promise by Sarkisian, Gregor V.; Curtis, Chloe; Rogers, Carly M. (2020) - Yet, there is no research evidence to support this method of process evaluation and it is likely that as long as programs include differing psychosocial interventions alongside surf lessons or surfing in surf therapy programs, a standardized process evaluation measure will be difficult to develop.

• Surf Therapy Practice, Research, and Coalition Building: Future Directions by Walter, Kristen H.; Sarkisian, Gregor V.; Martinez, Giovanni; Ward, Philip B. (2020) - Even though more outcome research is needed in the field of surf therapy, future research efforts should start to determine which components of surf therapy programs account for the greatest amount of change in outcomes (i.e., dismantling designs).

(2016) have acknowledged that theories used in the field of CP should more accurately be termed as frameworks, rather than constituting actual theories, since theories would be expected to offer a comprehensive methodology for explaining and predicting behaviors in a range of settings. And herein lies the problem… Should the CP discipline be aimed at transposing findings, and theories, developed from research conducted in one type of social environment to a host of other potentially similar social settings?

Essa descontextualização, cultural, histórica e política, de suas teorias e pesquisas tem ajudado a endossar as desigualdades persistentes no planeta.

The efficacy of a community-run Parents Plus Early Years Program as a preschool parenting intervention of modifiable duration by Lonergan, Aoife ; Gerber, Sarah-Jane ; Streek, Adrienne ; Sharry, John (2024) - By providing group PPEY interventions of modifiable duration in the community, parents with these multiple responsibilities may be able to receive cost effective support based on their needs and their availability. Similarly, brief 2- to 4-hour group interventions have been found to increase parents’ ability to build positive relationships with their children, reduce child behavior problems, and improve parental self-efficacy (Morawska et al., 2011; Lim, Tormshak, & Dishion, 2005).

• Community Transformation and Collective Healing: Lessons from Pakistan, Brazil, and Zambia by DeLoach, Chante’ D. ; Swaroop, Sujata Regina (2024) - Given the confluence of oppression, liberation, and community well-being, Jones and colleagues state that transformative change in community mental health entails a “far-reaching social justice-oriented reconfiguration of traditional power hierarchies” and “will come from the historical margins, driven by traditional subjugated knowledges…” (Jones, Harrison, Aguiar, & Munro, in press, p.1). It is evident from the case examples presented that these communities have found effective ways to galvanize local cultural and spiritual traditions as well as allopathic medicine as a means of transforming community mental health and well-being.

When discussing how to sustain HF services, however, most stakeholders identified concerns about limited resources, not just regulatory restrictions regarding funding streams.

These observations can be characterized by the navigation dimension (participants described a lack of knowledge – on their part and on the part of professionals – about the existence of services as well as difficulties in physically accessing them), the permeability of services dimension (according to the participants, several services did not take into account both their parental role and their disability), and the appearance at services dimension (several parents mentioned that they had to be assertive in order to convey their needs and possibly receive services).

(2021) - For publications on HIV resilience research that have provided their definition of ‘resilience’, most described resilience only at the individual-level (e.g., psychological); with few including limited interpersonal-level resilience (e.g., social support). In their research and practice, community psychologists could purposefully highlight what may not be as immediately apparent to many users and providers of HIV services – that neighbourhood support programs such as homeless shelters, transitional housing, and harm reduction and needle exchange programs are integral to bolstering the resilience of many HIV-positive MSM to the adverse clinical and social impacts of HIV/AIDS.

(2024) - This lack is alarming given that FJOs in arbitration are a very different population than FJOs in other types of juvenile justice programs. The lack of theoretical and empirical bases for many FJO programs also is critical because this lack may explain why FJO programs often disregard racial and ethnic differences and rely on notions of white femininity, (Goodkind & Miller, 2006), despite the fact that effective programs are those that respect diversity within groups and are culturally appropriate (Chesney-Lind, 2001; Chesney- Lind & Pasko, 2004).

• “We just want to tell the story”: A mixed methods exploration of partners’ motivations to join and stay engaged in community- research partnerships by Bustos, Tatiana; Simkani, Sana; Reichel, Calandra (2025) - Overall, partners were motivated to continue engaging with the CRP to learn from others, build and strengthen relationships with partners to the point of gaining their trust: “the piece that has been most fulfilling for me is getting to know some of our partners at a level where they're not just community partners, they are cherished friends because that's where you build the trust” (P005, Community partner). Scant evidence on motivations has demonstrated how community partners ground their decision to engage with CRPs based on perceived value of others’ contributions, benefits that would likely occur through their engagement, considerations of concerns, and opportunities to learn and apply new knowledge or skills for their own settings (Behringer et al., 2018; Garland & Brookman-Frazee, 2015; Lau et al., 2020; Ortega et al., 2018).

• The War Without Bullets: Socio-structural Violence from a Critical Standpoint by Fryer, David; McCormack, Cathy (2012) - David has drawn attention to the gigantic numbers of people, globally, destructively caught up in unemployment; to the continued deleterious impact of unemployment even after re-employment; to the psychologically corrosive impact of the anticipation of unemployment; to the toxicity of unemployment for family members of unemployed people including their babies and children; to the oppressive impact of unemployment even on the non-unemployed people in communities blighted by mass unemployment; and to how participation in the so-called flexible labour market, with its generation of temporary, part-time, insecure, non-unionised, psychologically destructive sub-employment, is for many as psychologically toxic as unemployment. Mass, involuntary, unemployment socially constituted to be personally and socially destructive, guarantees there are potential workers willing to do the most boring, dead end, underpaid, temporary, insecure, unpleasant jobs (i.e. the ones being created in the so-called flexible labour market), functioning effectively as an incomes policy, because it guarantees that there are unemployed people competing for the jobs of the employed, thus facilitating employers in reducing wages and working conditions.

(2024) - Though there are distinctions between those who practice medicine and those whose research explicitly wields theory, many believe theories apply to both types of activities and, more importantly, are the driving force for innovations. Theories of context and action for social change (Lewin, 1946; Vygotsky, 1981) have been part of the Community Psychology field from its inception and continue to be utilized [e.g., Seidman’s (1988) theory of social regularities in social settings].

• Influencing Prevention Policy Through Effective Communication with Advocates and Legislators by Strompolis, Melissa; Branham, Megan; Tucker, Whitney; Aakjer, Heidi (2024) - However, injury prevention advocates across the state have yet to formalize a collective message to effectively engage policymakers regarding injury prevention issues.

• Reaping the whirlwind: Xenophobic violence in South Africa by Duncan, Norman (2012) - During the apartheid era, South Africa’s borders with most of the 262 rest of the world were hermetically sealed, largely because apartheid South Africa was considered a pariah state; and partly because the apartheid state viewed most foreign countries as a threat to both its racist policies and the political stranglehold that it exerted on South African society. More specifically, it does not explain why foreigners of colour in the context of contemporary South Africa invariably bear the brunt of the prejudicial and murderous hatred of the local population.
