Pekrun, Reinhard – Educational Psychology Review, 2019

Hawlina, Hana; Gillespie, Alex; Zittoun, Tania – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2019
The relationship between diversity and creativity can be seen as paradoxical. A diversity of perspectives should be advantageous for collaborative creativity, yet its benefits are often offset by adverse social processes. One suggestion for overcoming these negative effects is perspective taking. We compared four dyads with low scores on trait…

Soenens, Bart; Vansteenkiste, Maarten – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2020
Parent-adolescent relationships are highly bidirectional in nature, with parental behaviors affecting adolescents' adjustment and with adolescents' behaviors, in turn, eliciting parental practices.

Whitehurst, Grover J. – Education Next, 2019
Does the current drive to incorporate social and emotional learning (SEL) into the K-12 curriculum represent a positive reform that will lead schools to educate the "whole student" and ultimately boost young people's academic success? Or is it a distracting fad that comes with high opportunity costs? Common sense and considerable…

Wolf, Molly R.; Nochajski, Thomas H. – Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, 2013
Although the issue of dissociative amnesia in adult survivors of child sexual abuse has been contentious, many research studies have shown that there is a subset of child sexual abuse survivors who have forgotten their abuse and later remembered it. Child sexual abuse survivors with dissociative amnesia histories have different formative and…

Millennials are a unique generational cohort populating the classroom, leaving university professors with the challenge of appropriately preparing them for the chaotic workforce.

A young person born in the 1980s said jokingly to a reporter, "No, you are a post-90s. I am a post-80s, not a post-90s, nor a post-85s." In his view, he was not of the same generation as the post-90s, who are a few years younger than him. They were egotists, selfish, obstinate, and hedonistic, lacked any sense of responsibility, and…
