Mathematical thinking is in high demand in the global market, but compared to their international peers, U.S. school children fail to meet math performance benchmarks. This is especially problematic, given that early math skills predict...
This exploratory, mixed-methods study aspired to learn more about teachers’ experiences, their perceptions of self-efficacy (SE), their posttraumatic growth (PTG) outcomes, and their sensemaking surrounding these interrelated factors...
Moffitt's (1993) taxonomy of adolescence-limited and life-course-persistent offenders suggests, among other things, that an early onset of antisocial behavior a) increases the likelihood of a life-course persistent offending trajectory...
Introduction. Overparenting is a parenting practice defined as parents being overly involved in their young adult children's lives by providing excessive assistance and exerting developmentally inappropriate control. Research conducted...
The effects of gender and parenthood on perceptions of warmth and competence were investigated in this study. When women become working mothers, their perceptions of warmth increase, but at the cost of reduced perceived competence, ...
Underperformance in math is a problem with increasing prevalence, complex etiology, and severe repercussions. This study examined the etiological heterogeneity of math performance in a sample of 264 pairs of 12-year-old twins assessed on...
Adolescent depression is a common health problem. Despite the cost of treatment for adolescent depression continually increasing, the majority of adolescents who experience a depressive episode will experience another episode before the...
Common stereotypes contend that boys have more natural ability and interest in math than do girls, which may contribute to the underrepresentation of women in some Science, Technology, Engineering and Math fields. Research suggests that...
The present study investigated the meta-relations among common components of reading comprehension. The Simple View of Reading (SVR, Hoover & Gough, 1990) posits that reading comprehension is the sum or product of linguistic...
The purpose of the present study was to investigate factors that contribute to the social adjustment to college for gifted emerging adults. Specifically, perceived parental attachment, and social competence were included. Additionally, ...
Lyons et al. (2018) used exploratory factor analysis to develop and validate a spatial anxiety questionnaire that can reliably measure anxiety in situations that involve different types of spatial skills. Using the framework set forth by...
Known as the belief about the malleability of intelligence, the concept of intelligence mindset has been embraced by the United States education system and abroad. Specifically, some research suggests that growth mindset (i.e., belief...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether Spanish-speaking language minority children develop conceptual knowledge (Cummins, 1981) that is common to their two languages alongside development of proficiency in their first (L1) and...
Relative to males, females have historically been underrepresented among recognized creators, inventors, and innovators. Despite vast strides toward female empowerment and gender equality in various social, political, and employment...
The coexistence of extraordinary gifts and exceptional impairment residing within the same individual is an inherently curious contradiction. Empirical research on gifted students with one or more disabilities, termed twice-exceptional, ...
Workers are increasingly becoming older and due to economic and societal conditions retirement is being discouraged (Ford &Orel, 2005). These individuals will continue to work for their employer and to be viable they may be willing to...
The relationship between school spending and academic performance is one that is constantly being assessed and evaluated. More rarely however, is the evaluation of how efficiently that spending is taking place. This paper used a method...
Success is often defined by the quality and effectiveness of an organization’s employees, and workplace design can be a primary driver in employee recruitment, satisfaction, and retention (Gensler, 2013). Since understanding employees is...
Previous research has shown rapid serial naming to be predictive of reading fluency, although the mechanisms underlying this connection are much less established. Despite the strong relationship with rapid serial naming (RAN), oral...
Learning to read is a major developmental achievement with wide ranging societal, educational, and economic costs associated with low literacy attainment. A robust body of literature has documented the stability and persistence of...
Bioecological theory suggests that development, including reading development, occurs through interactions between individuals and proximal environmental contexts (Bronfenbrenner & Ceci, 2004), though neighborhood characteristics are...
One in five youth suffer from mental illness, and even more experience subclinical symptoms, yet this pathologic focus ignores factors of mental health that contribute to flourishing. The vast majority of research on emotional...
Achievement and behavioral problems in childhood have long-term consequences for better health and educational outcomes. Prenatal experiences have been linked with childhood outcomes, although there is some question as to the causative...
Standardized testing, as a practice, has existed for almost two centuries within the United States, having gained both advocates and negative critics over time. Criticisms often include issues concerning test fairness and biases toward...
Reading comprehension and its predictors have been extensively studied. One predictor of reading comprehension, listening comprehension, has consistently been shown to have strong cross-sectional and longitudinal associations with...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the shared and unique contributions of three metalinguistic skills to the word reading and reading comprehension abilities of Adult Basic Education (ABE) students. Across studies, the...
Research has consistently demonstrated a link between spatial and math skills as well as a link between spatial and math anxieties and their respective cognitive skill (i.e., links between math anxiety and math performance). However, ...
Comparing Alternative Models of Reading Disability by Their Ability to Predict the Compensatory Effect of Assistive Technology on Reading Comprehension
Spelling a complex English word is more difficult than reading it, suggesting that spelling requires a higher quality orthographic representation and a greater degree of word knowledge compared to reading. In the absence of a high...
The overall goal of the current dissertation is to improve understanding of how parents’ socialization and contextual factors influence children’s development of learning-related cognitions, particularly implicit theories of intelligence...
Conceptual pacts are agreed-upon ways of talking about things that are specific to a conversation and a conversation partner. Most research focuses on conceptual pacts with participants being co-present in some way. However, we do not...
Over the past few decades, media and technology use have become increasingly significant components of everyday life. Given media's ubiquitous usage across the lifespan, it is important to understand what puts individuals at risk for...
Little is known about what contributes to individual differences in reading fluency after accounting for accuracy. Previous research has shown individual differences in the relative growth in word and nonword reading, specifically a...
