Rumination about anger experiences prolongs anger arousal and increases the likelihood of aggression. School violence perpetrators have ruminated angrily. Research measures and personal accounts of anger rumination often contain revenge-planning as a subtheme, the relevance of which has received insufficient attention in accounting for aggressive…

Background: A priori assumptions about specific behavior in test items can be used to process log data in a rule-based fashion to identify the behavior of interest. In this study, we demonstrate such a top-down approach and created a process indicator to represent what type of information processing (flimsy, breadth-first, satisficing, sampling,…

Background: Deinstitutionalization research shows better services and outcomes relative to institutional life but has not compared formerly institutionalised and never-institutionalised service users. Methods: We used propensity score matching (PSM) to match formerly institutionalised and never-institutionalised participants on six personal…

In 2014, Inman et al., published a three-decade long content analysis on the psychological literature of South Asian Americans (SAAs). Between 1980 and 2012, only 133 empirical articles focused specifically on SAAs in psychology, with only 10.53% (roughly 14) solely recruiting from college campuses and only 15.73% (roughly 21) focusing on…

Although there have been numerous technological advancements in the last several years, there continues to be a real threat as it pertains to social engineering, especially phishing, spear-phishing, and Business Email Compromise (BEC). While the technologies to protect corporate employees and network borders have gotten better, there are still…

This quantitative, correlational study investigated the predictive relationship between servant leadership characteristics of Servant TRIO SSS advisors and first-generation students' college adjustment and semester persistence. A total of 310 first-generation students in TRIO SSS programs within the United States participated in the study.…

This study examined areas of concern within the community college level of higher education affecting the retention and attrition rates of African American male first-year students at three community colleges in the state of New Jersey. It used a four-stage investigative design to identify variable factors that are correlated to retention and…

This article argues that it is necessary to develop new approaches to media and information literacy (MIL) education to respond to information seeking on YouTube.

Educators, including teachers, administrators, and student services staff, are instrumental in supporting students as they navigate overwhelming emotions by modeling and teaching skills to regulate emotional…

Background: Functional independence represents a key outcome for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The burden of TBI on people of color (POC) is evident when examining functional outcomes post-injury. Previous studies have described racial minority status as being associated with poorer functional outcomes. However, little is known…

Longitudinal survey and experimental research is essential for understanding psychological and economic processes, but attrition is a concern. We examine attrition in a 2016 longitudinal randomized controlled trial of more than 13,000 prospective U.S. homeowners, in which participants were invited to up to seven online surveys delivered every two…

Recent theories propose that autism is characterized by an impairment in determining when to learn and when not. We investigated this by estimating learning rate in environments varying in volatility and uncertainty. Specifically, we correlated autistic traits (in 163 neurotypical participants) with modelled learning behaviour during probabilistic…

Inclusive education has become a 'buzzword' in the contemporary discourse on equal access to education. It has been argued that different stakeholders play a crucial role in an effort to implement inclusive education. Although teachers are key 'architects' who are expected to support the learning of all students in the classroom, the decisions of…

Research on the prevalence of bullying behavior historically has varied greatly. This is in part due to the multiple methods and assessments used to determine prevalence. Rates of self-report bullying varied between 9% and 98%. None of the results of self-report bullying include online survey research. Using an online survey program Adolescents…
