The present study aimed to investigate the impact of a hybrid pedagogical model consisting of Teaching Games for Understanding (TGFU) and Teaching for Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) on the impulsivity, antisocial behaviors, and cognitive function of adolescent students. The study involved 60 male adolescent school students with an…

In this editorial perspective we consider the potential conceptual and empirical overlap between the research on mind wandering, particularly in its pathological extreme, and that on sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) as it has diverged from research on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The more advanced state of research findings on…

High-risk sexual behaviors (HRSBs; e.g., having sex without protection against pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections) are a public health problem. HRSBs disproportionally impact college students and are associated with numerous negative outcomes, such as unwanted pregnancies. Alcohol use has been strongly linked to HRSBs in college…

Objective: The aim of present research was to make a Meta-Thinking educational program based on mental-brain simulation and to evaluate its effectiveness on executive functions, emotion regulation and impulsivity in children with ADHD. Methods: The research method was Embedded Design: Embedded Experimental Model. The research sample included 32…

Objective: There is substantial evidence supporting the distinction between cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), particularly from the inattentive subtype. However, despite proposed etiological and phenomenological similarities, the relationship between CDS and dissociation remains…

The aim of the present study is to examine the relationship between students' classroom behaviour and word reading (decoding), considering the role of students' engagement in learning (defined as on-task behaviour, OTB, as part of the more global 'behavioural engagement' sensu Fredricks) as a mediator between behaviour and reading. A wide range of…

Objective: Disordered eating and problematic alcohol use may negatively impact women's health, and the two issues frequently occur together. We assessed the interaction between negative urgency and disordered eating variables on binge drinking frequency. We also examined impulsivity facets in relation to binge eating, purging, and restrictive…

The present study examined how maltreatment experience was associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in children under institutional care. The key caregivers of children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years who were under institutional care in Nagano prefecture, Japan were asked to…

Two art-based research studies led to discoveries about the interim period, an integral part of "El Duende" (EDPP) one-canvas art making. The researcher and five adults were visually recorded during art making sessions. Results suggested the paradox of the sustained pause; that in the perceived non-doing, much is happening. The interim…

The present study investigated prenatal and early postnatal risk factors associated with developmental patterns of disruptive behaviors (DBs; e.g., hyperactivity-impulsivity, noncompliance, physical aggression) from ages 1.5 to 5 years in a population birth cohort (N = 2,057; 50.7% boys). Six high-trajectory classes obtained by latent growth…

This study aimed to investigate the predictive effect of problematic behaviours on cognitive tempo and attention level of 60-66 months old children attending preschool education institutions. The research data were obtained from 155 children between 60 and 66 months old attending independent kindergartens affiliated to the Ministry of National…

In the present study, we recorded the eye movements of 20 criterion-based selected trainee teachers in economics while they responded to 25 single choice (SC) items in an economic content knowledge (CK) test and rated their confidence for each response in a digital assessment. By using a multilevel modeling approach with crossed random effects, we…

This research aims to develop an instrument for the evaluation of impulsivity traits in children and to examine the psychometric features of the developed scale. The process of developing the scale involved three main phases: namely, item generation, evaluation of content validity, and analysis of psychometric properties. The study sample…

Objective: In this review, we examined if there is a deficit in facial recognition of emotion (FER) in children, adolescents, and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Background: Emotional regulation is impaired in ADHD. Although a facial emotion recognition deficit has been described in this condition, the underlying…

Objective: This study examined the unique and interactive effects of PA volume and within-person fluctuations in PA volume (i.e., intraindividual variability in PA volume; PA-var) on preschoolers' (N = 141; 47.5% girls) ADHD symptoms. Method: Preschoolers wore accelerometers during the school day over a 2-week period. Teachers reported on…
