Children with autism spectrum disorder are at higher risk for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). They are also more vulnerable to sleep problems and are less likely to obtain the recommended number of hours of sleep than neurotypical children. In the general population, ACEs have been linked to future sleep difficulties. Despite increased…

Background/purpose: Mobile technologies have brought about significant changes in human life over the past quarter-century. The greatest advantages offered by these technologies, which have had a profound impact across a wide range of areas from work life to private life, are connectivity and mobility. This advantage, which allows individuals to…

The meta-analytic review builds on prior reviews that synthesised findings from studies of the relationship between school leadership and teacher attitudes. This review is distinguished by its focus on how one leadership model--principal instructional leadership--is related to multiple teacher attitudes: teacher trust, self-efficacy, collective…

The aim of the present study was to analyse how university students' achievement goals are associated with two distinct academic outcomes: academic performance and academic engagement (i.e., cognitive, affective and behavioural). Also, it investigated the potential mediating role of cognitive and metacognitive self-regulation learning strategies…

This study aimed to examine the association between children's participation in physical and sports activities and their affective subjective well-being. Data were drawn from the Second Wave of the Children's Worlds: International Survey of Children's Well-Being (ISCWeB), involving a sample of 913 Chilean children aged 10 and 12 years.…

Purpose: To investigate associations between possible sleep bruxism (PSB) and sleep disorders in children/adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as well as parental perceived stress. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving children/adolescents with ASD five to 19 years of age and their parents at a public institution that…

Objective: Electronic cigarette use represents an important college health concern. This investigation assessed demographic and behavioral correlates associated with actual and perceived e-cigarette use among a national sample of American college students. Methods: Respondents (n = 19,861) comprised college students from over 40 distinct American…

This study combined data from the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH; 2016--2019) to develop state-level percentages of Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, non-Hispanic other race, and non-Hispanic White children receiving developmental screening and/or monitoring and diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder or developmental delay (ASD/DD).…

Regression factor score predictors have the maximum factor score determinacy, that is, the maximum correlation with the corresponding factor, but they do not have the same inter-correlations as the factors. As it might be useful to compute factor score predictors that have the same inter-correlations as the factors, correlation-preserving factor…

School transportation may have important implications for academic success, but few studies examine how these variables are related. This systematic review is the first that synthesizes research linking school transportation with academic outcomes. Using the PRISMA framework, the authors conducted a literature search across multiple data sources…

Knowledge tracing (KT) for evaluating students' knowledge is an essential task in personalized education. More and more researchers have devoted themselves to solving KT tasks, e.g., deep knowledge tracing (DKT), which can capture more sophisticated representations of student knowledge. Nonetheless, these techniques ignore the reconstruction of…

Background and Context: Understanding how a student programmer solves different task types in different programming languages is essential to understanding how we can further improve teaching tools to support students to be industry-ready when they graduate. It also provides insight into students' thought processes in different task types and…

Objective: The present study prospectively examined the association between fear of COVID-19 and anxiety and whether social support moderated this association among college students. Participants: 1,539 students from 11 universities in the United States completed two online surveys, one prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and one during the pandemic.…

The League of Nations was founded in 1920 after World War I when humanity realized that…

Background: Walk tests are common gait speed and endurance assessments. Shorter test versions could benefit adults with intellectual disability. Thus, the concurrent validity of shorter tests was studied. Methods: Thirty-five adults with mild to moderate intellectual disability, aged 21-64 years, were assessed with the 4-m walk test, 10-m walk…
