Background: This paper begins with the premise that ethics and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) overlap in engineering. Yet, the topics of ethics and DEI often inhabit different scholarly spaces in engineering education, thus creating a divide between these topics in engineering education research, teaching, and practice. Purpose: We…

This article focuses on teacher perceived expertise (TPE) influenced by both contextual and individual characteristics. By using a validated questionnaire based on two dimensions of TPE, i.e. subject matter and pedagogical expertise, the present study compares TPE in physical education (PE) to that of other subjects and examines the role of…

The popular climbing destination of Lander, Wyoming receives nearly 37,000 climbing visits every year, with 78% of those visits coming from persons living outside of this area. Climbing tourism expenditures result in an estimated $4.5 million in visitor spending each year. Climber demographics indicate these visitors are well-educated with 98%…

Despite the evolution of the grit conceptualization over the years, the psychometric validity of scales and construct structure remain unclear. Consequently, this study aims to provide new evidence that broadens the current understanding of the grit's dimensional nature in the Spanish population by examining the psychometric properties of the…

Growth mindset and academic grit are crucial for adolescents' academic achievement. However, previous research that explored their relationship through variable-centered approaches cannot adequately address the group heterogeneity. This study addressed the issue by conducting latent profile analysis and social network analysis with a sample of…

Although young people espouse a range of career values, the extent to which traditional career values inter-mix with protean values is unclear. We interviewed a group of young university students in Australia (N = 24, M[subscript Age] 19.4 years; 50% young men) and examined the full range of traditional and protean values held. Employing applied…

Background: Microaggression toward marginalized groups, including disabled persons, has received increasing attention in the literature. Little is known, however, as to factors that mitigate against their impact. Objective: The purpose of this study was to conduct a mediation analysis to infer the role of ableist microaggressions between…

Higher education governing boards are important bodies with far-reaching powers over the institutions they oversee. Yet little is known about individual board members, how the composition of boards varies across institutions, or whether boards are at all representative of their institutional populations. In this paper, I introduce a novel dataset…

While parents are often expected to advocate for their children with disabilities throughout their lifespans, little is known about the beginning advocacy experiences for parents of young children with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to examine the advocacy experiences of caregivers of children with disabilities during early…

Introduction: Previous studies suggest that adolescents' sleep problems can affect school burnout. However, it remains unclear how these sleep problems evolve during early adolescence and how this development relates to school burnout. This study examines the developmental patterns of sleep problems and school burnout, exploring their interplay by…

In prior research, museum attendance has been shown to positively impact educational outcomes for children, teens, and adults, yet little has been documented about who is attending and how often. This paper is the first to provide comprehensive descriptive and regression analyses to explore museum attendance among youth (5 to 18 year-olds) in the…

Background: Adults with Down syndrome have demonstrated lower rates of community participation, which is known to reflect a poorer quality of life. This cross-sectional study used survey data completed by 27 care partners of adults with Down syndrome to understand if lower community participation was associated with a recent decreased independence…

Our study is the first to provide statistics on opioid use among U.S. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) applicants. We use an innovative machine-learning method to identify opioids in open-ended text fields in SSDI administrative data. We find that more than 30% of applicants between 2007 and 2017 reported using one or more opioids, a…

Background: Research has established a bidirectional association between sleep disturbances and depression in both adults and youth, as well as links between depression and circadian rhythms and chronotype, predominantly in adult populations. However, the link between chronotype and depression in the general adolescent population, independently of…

Anecdotal reports link a distinct, bilateral, parieto-temporally generated 4.5-Hz rhythm on an electroencephalogram to a methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene variant co-occurring in autism spectrum disorder, but the validation of its precision is needed. The electroencephalograms of children with autism spectrum disorder showing the distinct…
