Breil, Simon M.; Mielke, Ina; Ahrens, Helmut; Geldmacher, Thomas; Sensmeier, Janina; Marschall, Bernhard; Back, Mitja D. – Journal of Intelligence, 2022
Social skills are of key importance in everyday and work life.

In this research, we aimed to investigate how…

Frizzarin, Anna; Demo, Heidrun; de Boer, Anke A. – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2023
Former literature found that various 'different' students experience exclusion and rejection by their peers in schools. This may be linked with the attitudes that their school and classmates hold towards them. Identifying someone as 'Other' may indeed result in prejudicial attitudes which, in turn, can lead to his/her marginalisation and…

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…

The importance of higher education has never been clearer.

Yet relative to other developed nations, educational attainment in the United States is lagging, with young Americans who heretofore led the…
