The essays cover a vast range of rituals such as language use in immigrant families, indepths description of Hindu rites of passage, function and memories of Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, and also historical reviews of sewing circles and girls' samplers during colonial times, back to school illustrations from popular magazines, doll play and ethnicity in the late 1800's and early 1900's, newsboy funerals between 1850-1910, and kids growing up watching American Westerns. [...] "Do modern American children play with ethnically representative dolls and does the inclusion of ethnically representative dolls affect racial identity formation today?" and "Given the current high murder rate among young ethnic minority males living in urban poverty, how are these deaths commemorated?"

In the US in 1997, the pregnancy rate for Hispanic teens was 97.4 per 1000, while the figure for black teenagers was 88.2; the rate was sharply lower for non-Hispanic white American teenagers, 36.0 pregnancies per 1000 (Stephanie & Ventura, 2000). The obligation of women to marry earlier, for example before the age of 16 years, was frequently observed in families speaking Arabic and Kurdish, which is representative of a pervasive neglect of women's human rights. Spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, combined fetal death and infant mortality, and loosing pregnancies any time during their childbearing years are the health risks of adolescent pregnancies (Bukulmez & Deren, 2000; Cansun & Kadayifcioglu, 2000; Kir & Gulec, 2005; Shawky & Milat, 2000).

Third, as noted by [Derek Besner] and Stolz (1999c; see their Footnote 1), the reduction or even elimination of a Stroop effect does not speak to the ultimate fate of the words. Indeed, the reduced [Stroop] effect was not associated here with a change in recognition memory for the Stroop words, suggesting that word processing was unchanged. This first dissociation (i.e., decreased Stroop effect with word processing unchanged) is also consistent with Mari-Beffa, Estevez, and Danziger's (2000) claim that the reduction of the Stroop effect is not sufficient evidence for concluding that word-level processing is altered (see also Bibi, Tzelgov, & Henik, 2000). Mari-Beffa et al. (2000) and Besner (2001) all used the negative priming effect for their demonstration. Negative priming in the ...

This isn't just our frankly subjective opinion. It's the frankly subjective opinion of representative samplings of radio listeners, which makes it sort of, kind of scientific. Not one, but two research companies -- Edison Media Research and Pinnacle Media Worldwide -- independently surveyed listeners to divine their most loved and loathed holiday songs. (Both companies asked review panels -- consisting primarily of women -- to rate hundreds of Christmas-themed tunes, sorting them into such categories as "love," "like," "dislike" and "hate.")
Among the most-hated Christmas songs, according to Edison's research, are [Barbra Streisand]'s Jingle Bells? (too "acrobatic," [Sean Ross] ventures); the Jackson 5's Santa Claus Is Coming to Town (Ross: "I wonder if it's a vote about Michael Jackson...
