Collective impact: Evidence and implications for practice

Twelve years later, the New York Times ran an article about a reading workshop built around teacher-to-student discussion, student-to-student discussion, and student reading journals.³⁶ Rich reported that many places were trying this new form of school reading—including Chicago; Jonesboro, Georgia; New York City—and that even though the literature shows that allowing students to self-select titles for assigned reading is beneficial, there is still need for improvement. My study shows that less than one-third of the students surveyed were allowed to pick their own school reading. It also supports the idea that allowing students to self-select reading increases their motivation to read, which in turn increases their engagement with reading material.³⁷ Better-engaged students means more learning and better reading comprehension.

Boys whose fathers engaged in physical play but without excessive direction were rated as more popular by their teachers.⁴⁸ Effects of fathers may vary across children’s ages, with fathers of adolescent sons frequently playing important roles in those son’s transitions, as seen among Arnhem land Australian aborigines.⁴⁹ Among the Aka hunter-gatherers of Central African Republic, males of varying ages report that they predominantly learned subsistence and social behavioural norms from their fathers.⁵⁰Stepfathers are widespread not only in modern industrial societies but also in subsistence-level societies as well.^6,51,52 Many studies have found that, compared with resident biological fathers, stepfathers invest less in the children who live with them, both in the United States^37,39,53 and other cultures.^54-56 Stepchildren are more likely to have emotional and behavioural problems than resident genetic offspring,^39,40 although there is evidence that children who have close relationships with their stepfathers have better outcomes.^41,57Gay fathers tend to be economically well-off, one means by which their children may garner social advantages relative to other children, while additional research has shown that children of gay fathers did not report differences in sex-typed behaviour compared with parents of other family configurations.⁵⁸ A large literature shows that parents tend to transmit values to their children along socioeconomic status lines, with middle class parents typically imparting different values from parents in lower socioeconomic strata.^59,60 However, little of this work has examined fathers in particular, as distinct from mothers. Research Gaps Global interconnectedness, including in the patient pool faced by clinicians and constituents served by policymakers, also means that more research on the cultural scope of fathering and its impact on children is warranted.

The research reported here formed part of a larger study which explored psychologists’ experiences of a client suicide. The research aimed to partially replicate and to extend Trimble et al.’s () study by assessing the emotional and professional impacts of client suicides amongst psychologists in Australia. It aimed to gain an understanding of the common coping responses endorsed by psychologists. In addition to Trimble et al.’s aims, the current research investigated whether feelings of responsibility, as well as ratings of predictability and preventability of client's death, are associated with certain emotional reactions and professional impacts.

Research has shown that marketers can enhance consumers’ expectations when a product’s attributes are congruent with its packaging, shape, sensory attributes and sound of the brand name (sound symbolism). In the past decade, a reasonable amount of research has focused on sound symbolic attributes of brand names; however, the literature linking the age of acquisition (AoA) of various phonemes, their usage in brand names and their subsequent perception by consumers is lacking. In the present research, we hypothesized that because humans acquire different phonemes at different ages and consequently some phonemes are used more frequently (vs rarely) in everyday conversations and have more concrete (vs abstract) mental representations than late (vs early)-acquired phonemes, this impacts on the way in which brand names are perceived. Specifically, across three experiments, we demonstrate that brand names created from early-acquired phonemes are more suited to basic brands (i.e., brands which are used in an everyday context), whereas brand names created from late-acquired phonemes are more suited for luxury brands. Our research shows an association between the AoA of phonemes, as captured in brand names, and the brand’s perceived luxurious appeal. We discuss the results in light of the literature on speech sound development and provide practical implications for brand managers and marketers.
