A number of familiarization trials are needed for reliable measurement, particularly for inexperienced subjects. Researchers have studied and developed familiarization protocols that vary by exercise and study population. The pace of familiarization and fatigue may be an individual-level characteristic, so a population-level protocol may not fit…

Teachers' emotions and emotion regulation strategies play a crucial role in their learning during teacher education and their later work in the classroom. Most research focus on intra- or interindividual emotion regulation. The aim of this study is to identify distinct subgroups of intra- and interindividual emotion regulation strategies of…

To train two-versus-two sports, it is beneficial to play regularly with varying teammates and opponents of similar skill level. However, even in small classes, it is almost impossible for a human instructor to maintain an accurate overview of each student's skill development to optimize teams and pairings accordingly. Therefore, we propose an…

Decisions to invest in human capital depend on people's time preferences. We show that differences in patience are closely related to substantial subnational differences in educational achievement, leading to new perspectives on longstanding within-country disparities. We use social-media data -- Facebook interests -- to construct novel regional…

Objective: With the proliferation of vaping in recent years, vaping-related mass media campaigns have been implemented to discourage vaping among youth and young adults. Research on salient vaping-related themes for vaping cessation is lacking. This study aimed to identify promising belief themes for use in young adult-targeted vaping cessation…

Individual factors are critical in navigating adversity; however, the influence of social ecologies on resilience should not be undervalued. Factors such as a relationship with caregivers, and contextual factors (i.e. culture, spirituality, education), serve as resilience enablers. This article investigated the role of caregivers and context as…

Purpose: People who stutter often experience significant adverse impact related to stuttering. However, it is unclear how adverse impact develops in children who stutter (CWS) and whether there are protective factors that may mitigate its development. This study examined the relationship between resilience, a potentially protective factor, and…

Little is known about what features of AAC systems are regarded by AAC professionals as more suitable for children with different characteristics. A survey was conducted in which participants rated the suitability of hypothetical AAC systems on a Likert scale from 1 ("very unsuitable") to 7 ("very suitable") alongside a…

Scientific malpractice is not just due to researchers having bad intentions, but also due to a lack of education concerning research integrity practices. Besides the importance of institutionalised trainings on research integrity, research supervisors play an important role in translating what doctoral students learn during research integrity…

The aim of the paper was to study the intellectual profile of 94 gifted elders aged 60-90 years old with an IQ equal to or higher than 130 on at least one of the four primary indexes of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale -- Fourth Edition.

Personality traits of teachers are critical to their teaching reflections as well as students learning and satisfaction. However, there is no guiding framework about which personality factors and style of communication are important for teachers' communication effectiveness during their classroom teaching. The current research studies the impact…

Victimization by bullying is often treated as a unitary construct, although there are multiple dimensions that are likely to affect the impact of the experience for the victim. Latent class analyses were used to identify classes of victimization by (a) form of bullying (seven categorical items), (b) perceptions of motivation for victimization (15…

HIV-related comorbidities in underrepresented minority populations are reframed to include the co-occurring problems of systemic and structural barriers, within the mentoring context as a buffer and as action-oriented. This framework is discussed to improve racial and ethnic minority diversity in the research workforce from the perspectives of HIV…

Institutions have tended to provide online training and in-service training by using today's technologies due to the increasing number of employees and the increase in the number of in-service trainings to be given. While the number of trainings held in online environments is increasing day by day, it has gained importance to help learners learn…
