Access to quality education is crucial for children from different social strata to achieve upward mobility. Understanding how family income differences translate into disparities in academic achievement is increasingly urgent amidst rigid social stratification. This study focuses on families from various income levels, exploring the relationship…

Students with learning and other education-related disabilities generally demonstrate low mathematics achievement. While this is a complex phenomenon, one related factor may be low teacher self-efficacy for teaching mathematics to these students. The current study was a preliminary investigation (N = 40) into (a) differences in self-efficacy…

Early math experiences predict children's later math abilities and beliefs. However, less is known about longer-term associations between early childhood math experiences and adult math outcomes. The present study examined emerging adults' earliest memories of mathematics and reading experiences, asking whether characteristics of their early…

This study examined relations among learning strategies, academic motivation, and test anxiety in elementary students with or at risk for specific learning disabilities (SLD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), co-occurring SLD+ADHD, and students without disabilities. Participants were 89 students in Grades 3-5 from two public…

With bases in the Socio-Ecological Model (SEM), Protection Motivation Theory, and the Extended Parallel Process Model, this study builds a multilevel model including neighborhood risk factors, cognitive appraisals, and media information use with research hypotheses and questions developed at the individual, community, and cross levels. The…

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the simultaneous relationships between a set of predictor variables (career adaptability, career decision self-efficacy, major relevance, university life satisfaction and social support) and a set of response variables (career exploration activities and career decision-making). Design/methodology/approach: A…

This research aims to investigate the mediating function of psychological capital in the correlation between academic staff members' perceptions of organizational justice and dark leadership. A quantitative research method was employed in the study. The data was analyzed using SPSS v26 and AMOS 16. Correlation and regression analyses revealed that…

Worldwide, there were significant changes in university courses due to COVID-19. One was a rapid transition to online courses, described as emergency remote education. The purpose of this research was to examine how students' uncertainty avoidance (UA) affected their university commitment (UC) and whether their perceptions of emergency remote…

Illegal drug use is a major global problem that has increased significantly over the last decade. Since it is often initiated in adolescence, government programs have targeted this demographic to reduce drug use. To analyze the reach of such campaigns, the study presents a hybrid manual and automated content analysis approach to identify campus…

Motor, psycho-emotional, cognitive and social variables, plus other factors like gender, influence how schoolchildren perceive their motor competence level. By means of a hierarchical linear regression analysis, this longitudinal study aimed to determine the predictive value that coordination, anxiety, and self-esteem at the age of 9 years can…

Adaptive behavior, self-determination, and health are important areas of body functions and activities identified by autistic adults as priorities for research. Past research has suggested that autistic adults have high support needs in adaptive behavior and self-determination, and have poor physical and mental health outcomes. This study included…

Purpose: The evaluation of spelling performance in aphasia reveals deficits in written language and can facilitate the design of targeted writing treatments. Nevertheless, manual scoring of spelling performance is time-consuming, laborious, and error prone. We propose a novel method based on the use of distance metrics to automatically score…

This project employs an experimental design to test theoretical predictions regarding how numeracy can assist jurors in determining damage awards to compensate a plaintiff for pain and suffering and how the use of meaningful numerical anchors may produce similar benefits. Mock jurors (N = 345) reviewed a legal case and were asked to give a dollar…

This article draws on the emerging speculative realist philosophical movement in order to develop new understandings of the issues and content of education that needs framing and reframing within environmental and sustainability education (ESE) research. We argue for the potential of using speculative realist concepts such as correlationism,…

Meta-studies are often conducted on empirical findings obtained from overlapping samples. Sample overlap is common in research fields that strongly rely on aggregated observational data (eg, economics and finance), where the same set of data may be used in several studies. More generally, sample overlap tends to occur whenever multiple estimates…
