African American Men's Personal Sense of Mastery: The Consequences of the Adolescent Environment, Self-Concept, and Adult Achievement

Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, collected annually from 1979-1992, the objective of this study was to examine which factors over the life course contribute to African American males' personal sense of mastery. For the analysis on adult mastery, Ss were 892 African American males (aged 14-18 yrs in 1979 and 27-31 yrs in 1992). The Pearlin Mastery Scale was employed for the analysis. Independent variables were divided into adolescent background (poverty, parental education, religious attendance, region of origin), adolescent self-concept (self-esteem, educational aspirations), and adult achievement (educational attainment, earnings). Although adolescent poverty does not appear to hamper the adult mastery of African American men, results show that consequential adolescent variables are parental educational attainment, region of origin, self-esteem, and educational aspirations. The analysis also suggests that current adult achievement is also a significant determinant of adult mastery in African American males. Findings indicate that, despite the absence of economic and interpersonal resources in adolescence, African American males may be able to compensate for such deprivation through individual achievement--which directly affects personal mastery.

The objective of this research is to understand the life course processes that shape the earnings' potential of African American men. This research longitudinally investigates the effects of family background, adolescent self-concept and adult labor force conditions over a fourteen-year period. Findings indicate that such adolescent influences as poverty status and living in female-headed households are not significantly detrimental to the adult earnings of African American men. Further, while adolescent self esteem and aspirations are central to the earnings' potential of both black and white men, African American males may compensate for lower esteem and aspirations through adult achievement. And, finally, labor force participation, educational attainment and occupational status are important adult factors in predicting earnings for both African American and white men. However, African American men receive a benefit to earnings from labor force participation above and beyond that of their white male counterparts.

Keyword(s): Black Studies; Family Structure; Health, Mental; Life Course; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Pearlin Mastery Scale; Self-Esteem; Socioeconomic Status (SES)
Examined how family structure, parental achievement, adolescent self-esteem, adult socioeconomic attainment, and adult self-concept contribute to adult depression in African American males. Data were used from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1979-1992). At the time of the initial interview, the age range was 14-18 yrs. Data obtained from 892 African American and 1,454 White males were used in a series of cumulative regression equations to explain the effects of adolescent and adult factors on adult depression and in a comparative analysis comparing the outcomes of Blacks to Whites. Results show that a female-headed household did not produce significantly higher levels of depression in Black males. Parental education was a significant negative predictor of depression; however, African American males with higher earnings and higher mastery were less at risk for depression. Having the status of "White male" was a protective factor against depression. An appendix of the items comprising depression, self-esteem, and mastery is provided.

Racial and Gender Variations in the Process Shaping Earnings' Potential: The Consequences of Poverty in Early Adulthood

Keyword(s): Earnings; Educational Attainment; Ethnic Differences; Gender Differences; Income; Job Tenure; Occupational Attainment; Occupational Status; Poverty; Racial Differences; Work Hours
This research investigates the effects of poverty in early adulthood on future earnings. While social scientists are beginning to amass a considerable literature on the effects of poverty on outcomes for children, few have investigated the damage that impoverishment may do in early adulthood when individuals are in the midst of completing education and planning careers. The findings in this study indicate that poverty does dampen earnings' potential. However, individual characteristics (e.g., aspirations, esteem and ability) and structural location (e.g., educational attainment, occupational status and job tenure) may assuage the otherwise negative effects of poverty. Other findings reveal that the process shaping earnings is very similar for white males compared to racial minorities and women. One exception is the impact of weekly hours worked on earnings. White males receive a benefit to earnings from weekly hours worked above and beyond that of White women, African American men, African American women and Mexican American women. Additionally, white men's earnings remain higher than African Americans, Mexican Americans and white women because of higher occupational attainment and longer job tenure.

Structural and Social Psychological Influences on the Adolescent Self-Concept, Adult Achievement and Adult Mental Health of African-American Males

This study investigates the impact of structural and social psychological factors on the adolescent self-concept, adult achievement and adult mental health of African American males. Three primary questions are asked: (1) What are the sources of African American male achievement? (2) Do structural (e.g., family composition and region of origin) and social psychological (e.g., self-esteem and aspirations) factors affect outcomes differently for those who begin in poverty compared to their non-poor counterparts, and (3) Do the benefits of material success for adult mental health differ depending on the African American male's adolescent poverty status? This is a longitudinal study, spanning fourteen years (1979-1992). The primary sample consists of 1,304 African-American male respondents from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Regression models are estimated to predict adolescent aspirations, adolescent self-esteem, adult educational attainment, adult earnings, adult mastery and adult depression. The independent variables used in this investigation include the traditional structural variables such as poverty status, parental educational and occupational achievement, family structure and region of origin, as well as social psychological variables such as self-esteem, educational aspirations and mastery. As expected, the traditional structural variables are predictive of outcomes, but social psychological variables (esteem and aspirations) measured in adolescence also have significant effects even after controlling for the structural variables. For those who are impoverished in adolescence, the negative effects of poverty are exacerbated by larger family sizes, central city residence, and low parental educational attainment, but poverty status does not interact with socio-economic outcomes in affecting adult mental health. Finally, a subsample of 2,252 NLSY same cohort White males are added to the sample to test for differences by ethnicity. Most effects are constant across race; some exceptions are the greater benefits that accrue to Whites from some background variables, and the greater mental health benefits from earnings that accrue to African-Americans.

Keyword(s): Birth Preferences/Birth Expectations; Brothers; Family Size; Family Structure; Fathers, Involvement; Gender Differences; Marital Satisfaction/Quality; Siblings; Sisters
In this research, we investigate how children shape maternal marital happiness. The findings reveal that the otherwise negative effects of sibship size are altered by the gender composition of the sibling group. Having sons tends to reduce the negative impact of sibling group size. Solving for main effects in the interactions that include sibship size by the gender composition of the sibling group, we find that having all sons affords the most beneficial consequences for marital happiness. The daughter-only groups have nonsignificant effects, and the mixed-gender sibships have the most deleterious influence on maternal marital happiness. Within a subsample of mixed-gender sibships only, we further find that mothers who have more boys than girls are more likely to report higher marital gratification. Generally speaking, our research demonstrates the need to examine both main and interaction effects of family structure on marital happiness.

Q: Could I have destroyed Partitioning-Scheme/Filesystem of HDDs with External Harddrive Case with builtin Raid-Controller? I had just recently bought a Fantec QB-35US3R to have a nice box on my desk to make some backups to. Along with the HDD-Bay I had ordered some 4TB HDDs to let them run in Raid 5, which is handled by the hardware RAID controller of the Fantec HDD-Bay. The QB-35US3R arrived a few days before the hard drives, so I got impatient and had the idea to put three old 1TB disks in the Fantec device, just to test it... Long story short: I made a backup of the most important data on these three disks before they broke. I had set the configuration scheme to RAID 3 at the Fantec device.
It seems, that the Fantec RAID controller has "somehow" destroyed the partitioning scheme or the file system, because when put into a HDD docking station, they get recognized by the OS (Ubuntu/Linux) but are not mountable anymore.
I tried to recover the data from one HDD via gParted (parted), which ran some hours without success. Here I stopped, before trying other tools, cos I read that the longer a hard drive is running after a the partitioning got destroyed, the worse it gets.
What could the HDD-Bay probably have done to my lovely hard drive disks? Is there some routine a RAID controller is executing, when it wants to create a RAID system? Like erasing the partition table (seems not plausible to me.) or writing some information to every hard drive in the RAID (seems more likely to me.)? Is there a chance to recover the data from these HDDs, or is the change a RAID controller makes so significant, that no software is of help?

A: Hardware RAID needs some place to store the raid metadata and it usually uses the first blocks of the disks for that. Unfortunately this is the place where the old  partitioning data resided, so it is now gone. If the first partition starts at very low blocks the start of the filesystem got damaged too.
Additionally a RAID system might sync drives immediately at setup time. Then all data is lost or with raid 1 the data on the 2nd drive is lost.
If it didn't sync and there was enough space before the first partition then just recreating the partition scheme should be enough to recover the data.

Bank of America profit beats as healthy economy fuels loan growth
Reuters Wednesday July 17, 2019 09:35
(Reuters) - Bank of America Corp beat estimates for quarterly profit on Wednesday, as the loan book of the country's second-largest lender benefited from a healthy economy.
Consumer banking has held up for the big Wall Street banks that have reported second-quarter results this week, cushioning a blow from weakness in trading and advisory businesses.
But warning signs also emerged with JPMorgan, Citigroup and Well Fargo reporting a dip in margins, stoking fears that interest rate cuts could further pressure profit by narrowing the spread between what banks charge on loans and pay on deposits.
Bank of America, however, bucked that trend and reported a 3-basis-point increase on the year in its interest margin to 2.44% for the second quarter, though the metric fell 7 points from the first quarter.
Chief Financial Officer Paul Donofrio said on a call with reporters the sequential decline was due to lower long-term interest rates.
"When long-term interest rates fall, we see more people pay off their mortgages and that translates into more mortgage-backed securities being redeemed and that forces us to write off some premiums," he said. "I don't think you can extrapolate that into the future because long-term rates have stabilized at this point."
The lender is the most sensitive of the big U.S. banks to interest rate changes because of its large deposit stock and rate-sensitive mortgage securities.
In the absence of higher interest rates to help pad revenue, banks can improve margins by reducing expenses. Bank of America completed a years-long cost-cutting initiative last year, and has pledged to keep expenses flat through 2020.
Expenses during the quarter were up slightly as the bank invested more in its consumer, commercial and wealth management businesses.
Total loans in its consumer banking unit rose 6%, while deposits were up 3%, pushing income from the business up 13% to $3.3 billion.
"We see solid consumer activity across the board, with spending by Bank of America consumers up 5% this quarter over the second quarter of last year," Chief Executive Brian Moynihan said in a statement.
Growth in the consumer business helped offset softness in market revenue and Wall Street businesses.
The retail bank and wealth management segments each recorded double digit profit gains while its commercial and markets businesses each saw profit and revenue decline from lower investment banking and trading fees.
Adjusted revenue from Bank of America's global market business, which includes bond and equities trading, fell 5.7% to $4.18 billion.
Net income applicable to common shareholders rose 10% to $7.11 billion, or 74 cents per share, in the second quarter ended June 30. Excluding items, the bank earned 75 cents per share.
Revenue, net of interest expense, was up about 2% at $23.08 billion.
Analysts had expected a profit of 71 cents per share on revenue of $23.2 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.

Now that we no longer have to worry about Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled for Nintendo Switch being delayed, we can simply look forward to what the game will offer when it does arrive later this year on 21st June.
Are you ready for some nitro-fueled racing this April? Tell us in the comments.
It's no Mario Kart but it looks pretty good!
Great! This series is behind only Mario Kart for my favorite in the cart racing genre. Can't wait for the CTR remake.
Looks good. Love the original, so I really hope this turns out great.
It's been a long time since I played the original so it'll be interested to see how well the gameplay has aged. Hopefully better than the platformers. Mario Kart is unmatchable as far as multiplayer kart racing goes but the story mode helps CTR stand apart.
Lets hope it has no microtranactions.
It definitely looks pretty. But thanks to all of the angles, and cuts, in the footage. It's no better than a cinematic when it comes to showing actual gameplay. Still waiting to see some raw uncut gameplay, but from what little I can tell, it at least looks decent.
I played a lot of CTR, but it hasn't gotten better with age. This update may be the revival boost it needs.
Gameplay wise I'm sure CTR is going to be as brilliant as the original, but I gotta say what I've seen of the track design so far doesn't really stand up to the standard of the better modern kart games. Hopefully it won't mater in the end but the biggest part of Mario Kart for me is always seeing new track designs, so it could potentially be a bit of a sticking point.
@SegaBlueSky I agree although in the newest Mario kart on occasions I did long for an old fashioned kart track without the gimmicks... I think this will be refreshing. I love Mario kart... just think this is different enough to sit alongside happily.
We also need MySims Racing HD from EA for Nintendo Switch.
I'm way more excited for Team Sonic Racing to be honest.
@Anti-Matter @DockEllisD Now those are a lot better. Thank you.
Edit: hmm.. The gameplay looks solid. But the maps seem a little small and simple, compared to MK8. It still looks alright, and I'll end up getting it. But I'm not sure I'd put it up there with MK8, unless it makes up with it with map variety, or some more complex maps.
With about 100 hours of Mario kart on my switch, I am looking forward to a different kart racer. Hopefully one where my kid doesn't beat me. every. single. race.
@DockEllisD looks good. Looking forward to this.
Doesn't this game have boss fights and stuff like that in the single player mode?
The angles don't give a proper indication of how the game looks.
This game looks pretty awesome! Can't wait to give it a spin myself.
@AG_Awesome Crash Team Racing does have boss races but they're just one on one car races, not like in Diddy Kong Racing where you'll race a real Rhino or an Ocotopus for example.
I know lots of people will mention Mario Kart but it's nice to have something different as I've already played a lot of Mario Kart 8 on both Wii U and Switch.
It looks like it could be fun, but the only characters I recognize are Crash and Dr. Cortex.


Macomb Community College's newly renovated C Building on its South Campus in Warren has re-opened with the start of winter semester. The $8.5 million renovation of the 48-year-old building was funded with $4.25 million from the State of Michigan, along with a match by the college through its capital projects fund. While state capital outlay appropriations are typically sought to support new construction projects, Macomb's focus on renovation is designed to maximize the impact of fiscal resources while preserving the investment the community has made in the college's infrastructure.
Overall, the 60,000-square-foot building's electrical upgrades have reduced its energy consumption by approximately 60 percent. Improvements made to maximize efficiency include variable frequency controllers on the air handling unit, demand-control ventilation carbon dioxide sensors in classrooms, a variable frequency controller for hot water heating and chilled water system pumps, and high-efficiency bathroom fixtures that reduce water consumption. The new windows installed in the building improve glass energy performance by up to 30 percent as compared to current commercial building energy standards and reduce internal glare.
The programs housed in the building are business administration, information technology (IT), health and humanities programs. From a teaching and learning perspective, the renovations focused on creating meaningful improvements in classrooms and labs, facilitating student engagement and collaboration, and supporting faculty interaction and teamwork.

To be fair, most graduate students are in their 20s. Their relationships would probably end anyway, part of the natural process of emerging adulthood. But there's something else that we obtain in grad school that helps us make decisions about our relationships, and it isn't discussed on the class syllabi. We gain insight.
The insight that we gain about ourselves and other people as we become therapists comes with pros and cons on the dating scene. It's like we have this ability to hack getting to know people, whether or not they're aware how much information they might be giving. Oldest of 5? Most likely responsible, probably parentified as a kid.
We know all the right questions to ask on the first few dates in order to get a good snapshot of our suitors. I mean, it's pretty similar to an intake. We're keen on body language and verbal cues. We have empathy and know how to actively listen, which makes our dates feel validated and connected with us. Most importantly, after what we learn about ourselves in grad school, we know what we want in a partner and we know what to look for. For example, if we tend to take on the pursuer role, we know that we need to stop chasing withdrawers.
On the other hand, the insight that we gain could work against us. We develop biases that may lead to writing people off without giving them a chance. Parents divorced? Shoot, that makes it more likely this guy would get divorced. His mom is an addict? He may have issues trusting women. He comes from a totally different cultural background? We may have to work hard for family acceptance.
In turn, the people we date could have biases about dating a therapist. This can be especially true if you're a Marriage and Family Therapist. I mean, that can be a lot of pressure, to date someone whose career is around something so personal. Some people react to learning what we do with praise, and try to start their "free counseling sessions" on the first date. They see you as the savior who is there to fix them and their family. They're already envisioning your picture-perfect relationship.
One time, I asked a guy, "I remember you mentioned that you have a step-father. Are your parents divorced?" He went into explaining his parents' divorce, started to cry, and then said, "Wow, you're already working your magic!" Not magic, dude.
They may even start volunteering information about people close to them for your professional opinion. I once spent a whole dinner listening to a guy describe his ex. He was looking for confirmation that she was a narcissist. Suffice to say it wasn't the getting-to-know-you conversation that typically happens on a first date. I did, however, learn something about him through that!
More people than I expected are turned off by the idea of dating a therapist. It makes sense to me now. They may be scared of high expectations that come along with dating a relationship expert. They may be afraid of our judgment, being "diagnosed," or being criticized for doing anything wrong. It's up to us to decide whether we want to work to gain their trust, or seek out someone without those fears.
Should we just date other therapists?
Even therapists have biases when it comes to dating therapists. Some see dating another mental health practitioner as too much pressure. You could relate to each other on such a level that you would find yourself taking work home with you. It might be nice to have a partner to consult about cases and discuss ethics with, but that wouldn't be so nice if you worry about your partner judging your work. Still, some therapists believe that it is a match made in heaven. You could understand each other fully, and instill healthy boundaries regarding work talk.
What's most important to me about dating as a therapist is that though we have this insight about people and relationships, we still need to use our hearts. No relationship is perfect and no human is perfect, so it's not worth trying to find that.
The best comparison I can think of is when I get a new client and I read their intake, it creates this image of them in my head. I gear up to address this troubled person with a heartbreaking history, and when I finally meet them, they couldn't be more pleasant and ready to evolve into their best self. So when we are swiping on our dating apps, we need to keep in mind that we are merely just looking at their "intakes." The real person is much more. Given the opportunity, they might find that you are much more than a therapist, too.
