Nueva publicación sobre los efectos del trabajo infantil en el rendimiento académico:

“In this study, the effects of different variables of child labor on academic performance are investigated. To this end, 3302 children participating in the child labor eradication program “Edúcame Primero Colombia” were interviewed. The interview format used for the children’s enrollment into the program was a template from which socioeconomic conditions, academic performance, and child labor variables were evaluated. The academic performance factor was determined using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The data were analyzed through a logistic regression model that took into account children who engaged in a type of labor (n = 921). The results showed that labor conditions, the number of weekly hours dedicated to work, and the presence of work scheduled in the morning negatively affected the academic performance of child laborers. These results show that the relationship between child labor and academic performance is based on the conflict between these two activities. These results do not indicate a linear and simple relationship associated with the recognition of the presence or absence of child labor. This study has implications for the formulation of policies, programs, and interventions for preventing, eradicating, and attenuating the negative effects of child labor on the social and educational development of children.”

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR

Community-Based Health and Social Disparities Research

University of South Carolina

The Department of Psychology invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor for candidates whose research programs focus on health and social disparities (e.g., physical health, psychological well-being). We seek candidates with experience in community-based prevention and intervention research who will (a) be competitive for national funding initiatives, (b) contribute to USC’s priority on health-focused research, and (c) complement the university’s mission to address the health and welfare of state residents. Qualifications include a promising record in original research, a commitment to quality teaching, and a doctoral degree or satisfactory progress toward completion of a doctoral degree in psychology or a related field.

We seek a scholar with expertise in community-engaged health disparity research to understand interactions between individual and environmental factors that can affect health and social disparities in health. The Assistant Professor will be expected to build a strong research program investigating the role of social, cultural, policy, or environmental influences on psychological well-being and health. Specific responsibilities include (1) creating research collaborations with community settings to investigate health disparities and related social conditions, (2) seeking and obtaining external funding for community-based research, (3) offering research and learning opportunities to graduate and undergraduate students.

The University of South Carolina’s main campus is located in the state capital, close to mountains and coast. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has designated the University of South Carolina as one of only 73 public and 32 private academic institutions with “very high research activity”. The Carnegie Foundation also lists USC as having strong community engagement. The University has over 29,500 students on the main campus (and over 44,500 students system-wide), more than 350 degree programs, and a nationally-ranked library system that includes one of the nation’s largest public film archives. Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, is the center of an increasingly sophisticated greater metropolitan area with a population over 750,000.

The Department of Psychology has three Ph.D. programs: clinical-community psychology, experimental psychology, and school psychology, with interest areas that cut across programs – child and family issues, cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, developmental processes, drug abuse and addiction, psychopathology, prevention and community-based intervention.
