DiLeo, Letty L.; Suldo, Shannon M.; Ferron, John M.; Shaunessy-Dedrick, Elizabeth – School Mental Health, 2022
A dual-factor model (DFM) of mental health conceptualizes complete mental health as both low levels of psychopathology and high levels of subjective well-being (SWB). Although middle adolescence (ages 14 to 18 years old) is associated with increases in symptoms of psychopathology and declines in SWB, further research is needed to understand how…

Tucker, Tevis L.; Winsler, Adam – Journal of Research in Music Education, 2023
According to music educators, persistence beyond a student's initial enrollment in middle and high school music is a problem; however, there has been little research to substantiate this claim. Although several recent large-scale, longitudinal studies of initial selection into music classes have been conducted, longitudinal studies on who…

Samuels, William Ellery; Tournaki, Nelly; Sacks, Stanley; Sacks, JoAnn; Blackman, Sheldon; Byalin, Kenneth; Zilinski, Christopher – European Educational Researcher, 2019
Executive functions (EFs) show promise as important mediators of adolescent academic performance. However, the expense of measuring EFs accurately has restricted most field-based research on them to smaller, non-longitudinal studies of homogeneous populations with specific diagnoses. We therefore monitored the development of 259 diverse, at-risk…
