Social skills are critical behaviors that enable students to effectively navigate their social lives. Further, social skills function as protective factors against emotional behavior concerns and enable strong academic growth. Social skills can be developed and improved via programs implemented in schools. Students identified as gifted have long…

The present study examined the associations among social media use and academic self-efficacy, academic procrastination, and academic achievement. Grit was proposed as the potential mediator between social media use and different academic variables. Two samples of undergraduate students recruited from two different universities in the U.S. (Study…

Purpose: Examine tobacco use on college campuses by assessing: (1) types of tobacco products used, (2) where they are most commonly used, and (3) the sociodemographic characteristics of students most likely to use on campus. Method: Participants were a convenience sample of 3,575 18- to 25-year-old enrolled in 14 Texas colleges during Spring 2021…

The Calm Cat Program was developed in response to the need for intervention approaches that target internalizing symptoms, are developmentally appropriate for early elementary students, and are feasible for school-based implementation by staff without specialized training. The Calm Cat Program is a brief Tier 2 intervention combining behavioral…

Priming examinees with questions about intended effort prior to testing has been shown to significantly increase examinee expended effort via self-reported effort and response-time effort. However, this question-behavior effect seems to wear off later in a testing session. We examined whether administering a second "dose" of the…

Contribution: We present a framework for teachers to investigate the relationships between attributes of students' solutions in the process of problem solving or computational thinking. We provide visualization and evaluation techniques to find hidden patterns in the students' solutions which allow teachers to predict the specific behavior of…

Hazing, a type of abusive behavior that can harm students and undermine university missions, has implications that extend beyond those individuals, groups, and communities directly involved. Our investigation drew on critical whiteness studies (CWS) to explore intersections of hazing and white supremacy. Campus hazing climate interviews (n = 345)…

This research was conducted by the Department for Education (DfE) to explore the models, uses and perceived outcomes of in-school support units within mainstream schools in England. Ten mainstream secondary schools across England, including 12 members of school staff, were interviewed by DfE social researchers to understand the purpose, use and…

With this study I investigated the moderating effect of school climate on the relationship between adolescents' school belonging and their delinquent behaviour. For this purpose, the relational survey method, 1 of the quantitative research methods, and the bio-ecological framework was used. The participants in the study were a total of 698 high…

This study aims to determine individual and process differences that influence argumentative writing with multiple texts. The participants of this study, which used a predictive correlational design, were 101 high school graduates and undergraduate students from two provinces in southeastern Turkey who voluntarily participated in the study. The…

Objective: One strategy to address the health issues among college students is through bystander intervention. However, much is still unknown about bystander behavior. The purpose of the current study was to assess the feasibility of daily diary methodology as applied to bystander opportunity. Method: Using a convenience sample, we examined (1)…

We study the effects of parenting style on students' school performance, assuming that immigrant parents' child-rearing strategies derive from their country of origin. Following Doepke and Zilibotti [2017. Parenting with style: Altruism and paternalism in intergenerational preference transmission. "Econometrica," 85(5), 1331--1371.…

Many universities sponsor student-oriented transit services that could reduce alcohol-induced risks but only if services adequately anticipate and adapt to student needs. Human choice data offer an optimal foundation for planning and executing late-night transit services. In this simulated choice experiment, respondents opted to either (a) wait an…

The English mass state education system, developing over 150 years, has created subsystems for children and young people who had difficulty in functioning at or beyond 'mainstream' schooling, or whose behaviour was deemed inappropriate. While many descriptions and labels proliferated in the education system, by 1981 children notionally had been…
