Youth participation in high quality social-emotional learning programming has the potential to influence near and distant school-related outcomes. In a sample of 389 middle school students, the current study investigated students' exposure to one grassroots, evidence-informed, kindness-focused school-based program that targets both students' and…

This research aims to explore both the individual and combined relationships between the use of GeoGebra and productive disposition with students' strategic competence. The use of GeoGebra involves teacher-led activities designed to assist students in managing and engaging with learning, serving as a tool to enhance mathematics learning outcomes.…

Artificial intelligence (AI) in biomedicine has gained significant attention, and its fusion with biology offers exciting possibilities. Understanding students' perspectives on AI is crucial for developing appropriate lessons. This study surveyed biology undergraduates and postgraduates in Taiwan (n = 71) and Germany (n = 51) to explore their…

Objectives: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) risk in young adults is impacted by both affective and cognitive responses to stress. While previous research shows affective reactivity (AR) increases risk for NSSI, less research has examined the role of cognitive reactivity (CR). The current study examined how individual differences in CR to stress…

This study investigates the effects of utilizing the AI course assistant, Spark, on student academic performance at Los Angeles Pacific University (LAPU). Focusing on grade outcomes, the research reveals that students who engaged with Spark three or more times achieved significantly higher grades compared to those who did not use the AI assistant.…

Background: People with Down syndrome (DS) have a high risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Identifying resiliency factors for AD is of critical importance to the DS community. Method: Participants were 63 adults with DS. Measures included amyloid-beta PET scans (amyloid age), National Task Group-Early Detection Screen for Dementia (NTG-EDSD), and…
