The heterogeneity of the timing and order of achieving the "big five" markers of the transition to adulthood is often treated as a taken-for-granted feature of emerging adulthood, reflecting a tendency of "leisure to explore" between adolescence and adulthood. With the central assumption of emphasizing how individuals take…

Peer reviewedMarin, Alexandra; Dubash, Soli – Field Methods, 2021
As relationships change and people change the kinds of support they provide, name generators that collect information about ties that provide particular kinds of support at repeated points of time may not effectively capture ties that are active but whose roles have changed. This article shows that a significant minority of network members change…

Hillman, Conrad B.; Lerman, Dorothea C.; Kosel, Molly L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Further research is needed on strategies to improve employment outcomes for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We replicated and extended prior research by examining the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of discrete-trial training (DTT) performance of adults with ASD who were interested in careers as behavior technicians.…

van Tiel, Bob; Deliens, Gaétane; Geelhand, Philippine; Murillo Oosterwijk, Anke; Kissine, Mikhail – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is often associated with impaired perspective-taking skills. Deception is an important indicator of perspective-taking, and therefore may be thought to pose difficulties to people with ASD (e.g., Baron-Cohen in J Child Psychol Psychiatry 3:1141-1155, 1992). To test this hypothesis, we asked participants with and…

Bush, Hillary H.; Williams, Lindsey W.; Mendes, Eva – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Existing research suggests that people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are more likely than those without ASD to self-identify as asexual, or as being on the asexual spectrum. This study contributes to the literature by exploring aspects of sexuality and well-being in a large, community-based sample of young women (18-30 years old) with ASD (N…

Research providing an evidence-base for autistic adult services is sparse. The Autism Spectrum Disorders in the European Union (ASDEU) network implemented an on-line survey to determine gaps in autistic adult diagnostic evaluation and post-diagnostic support services. More than 55% in all groups experienced most of the recommended features for…

Kane, Stacey G.; Dean, Kelly M.; Buss, Emily – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Knowing target location can improve adults' speech-in-speech recognition in complex auditory environments, but it is unknown whether young children listen selectively in space. This study evaluated masked word recognition with and without a pretrial cue to location to characterize the influence of listener age and masker type on the…

Donohue, Cara; Khalifa, Yassin; Mao, Shitong; Perera, Subashan; Sejdic, Ervin; Coyle, James L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The prevalence of dysphagia in patients with neurodegenerative diseases (ND) is alarmingly high and frequently results in morbidity and accelerated mortality due to subsequent adverse events (e.g., aspiration pneumonia). Swallowing in patients with ND should be continuously monitored due to the progressive disease nature. Access to…

Creed, Peter A.; Sawitri, Dian R.; Hood, Michelle; Hu, Shi – Journal of Career Development, 2021
Informed by goal-setting/self-regulatory theories, we tested the mediating role of career-related effort (i.e., goal striving) in the relationships between career-related indecision (i.e., goal ambiguity) and career-related stress (i.e., affect) and perceived employability (i.e., career-related attitude) and examined the effect of financial…

Naishtat Bornstein, Lilach – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2021
Here I present 'stories of reading' as a model that takes account of the way an actual reader, together with other readers in a group, reacts to a text as part of an interpretive event. I demonstrate the model through the shared reading and discussion, by a non-academic group of Israeli women, of a Hebrew translation of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's…
