Purpose: The lateral feedback seeking literature has primarily examined lower-level employees' feedback seeking from peers. Thus, the authors still know very little about feedback seeking when the leader is the "seeker" and peers are the "targets" of such seeking.

Purpose: Scholars in the feedback seeking domain have predominantly focused on subordinate feedback seeking. The authors still know very little about feedback seeking when the leader is the "seeker" and subordinates are the "targets" of such seeking. This paper aims to develop a theoretical framework that explores the potential…

The curvilinear relationship between academic help-seeking and the need for assistance is well-reported (Fong et al., 2021; Karabenick & Knapp, 1991).

This paper provides a self-regulated learning intervention activity to help college students who are struggling with time management and study efforts. The activity is modeled on theory and empirical evidence related to the science of learning. The intervention activity is a weekly course completion plan designed for a specific course. Students…

As deaf education teachers return to the classroom and demands to decrease pandemic learning gaps grow, an emotionally safe environment for work becomes critical. Teacher experiences should be validated, and prevention and recovery from burnout should be normalized. Above all, meaningful, evidence-based resources that are accessible and low cost…

As the youth mental health crisis continues to worsen, there is a need for more evidence-based social-emotional interventions that can be applied in schools -- the setting in which youth are most likely to seek and receive mental health treatment (Simon et al., 2015). Further, exploring ways to culturally adapt interventions for marginalized…

Physical education is the perfect place to learn self-advocacy skills. Through the practice of self-advocacy, children will find and utilize their voices in the classroom and beyond. Self-advocacy teaches students how to speak up, make life decisions, gather information, find those who will support them in their journey, know their rights and…

This article describes universal screenings for depression and suicidality as one component of the Signs of Suicide (SOS) program in middle and high schools following the suicide death of a student in the past few years. Of the students screened (N = 7,429), 11.0 percent of…

We review ethnographic methods that allow researchers to assess distress in a culturally sensitive manner. We begin with an overview of standardized biomedical and psychological approaches to assessing distress cross-culturally. We then focus on literature describing the development of reliable and valid culturally sensitive assessment tools that…

In response to widespread concerns about student mental health, a growing movement in higher education is focused on fostering student well-being as an important element of student success.
