Introduction: Economic inequality is rising around the globe. Social class includes income, education, and occupation, and is strongly tied to academic achievement. However, we do not yet know how the discrimination that adolescents experience because of their social class is associated with academic achievement. To address this knowledge gap, we…

This cross-sectional study examined how Chinese adolescents' belief in a just world (BJW) varied across social class and age. A sample of 2,748 adolescents aged 10 to 18 years (47.2% female; 99.1% Han ethnicity) from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds in China completed the Belief in a Just World Scale and the Socioeconomic Status Survey.…

Introduction: The effect of time in college on student mental health is not as well-explored as cohort effects. The present study used 7 years of longitudinal mental health data to disentangle the effect of time in college from broader cohort-based effects. Methods: 8585 emerging adult students from two US colleges (mean age 19.58 ± 1.44, 54.16%…

This study explores the micro-determinants of corruption tolerance among 1414 university students in Guatemala, a country grappling with significant corruption issues. By examining the attitudes of economics majors compared to students in other disciplines through ordered logistic regression analysis, we offer new insights into factors influencing…

Social entrepreneurship is defined as bringing innovative solutions to social problems. In the study conducted by Guzmán et al., (2024), it is emphasized that social entrepreneurship is a developing concept and that studies on social entrepreneurship should be supported by studies conducted in other sectors, especially in the service sector. It is…

In addition to descriptive statistics,…

Although exploratory play is considered a hallmark of cognitive development and learning, relatively few studies have been able to quantitatively characterize the shifts that may occur in children's approach to exploration. One reason for this gap is due to challenges coding and analyzing children's exploratory play behavior. In our paper, we…

This study presents a framework for understanding the factors influencing graduate students' online learning readiness using a modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. A quantitative research method was adopted with data collected from 3,120 graduate students at the University of Ibadan. Structural Equation…

Background/purpose: Superstitious beliefs are culturally ingrained irrational ideas that can influence how individuals perceive and behave, particularly in times of uncertainty. Health anxiety, which is often exacerbated by such beliefs, is common among university students experiencing academic and personal stress. This study aimed to investigate…

Individual differences in mathematical skills emerge early and are influenced by a range of cognitive and environmental factors. One of these is the Home Mathematics Environment (HME), which includes adult-child mathematics talk. Nevertheless, large variations in methods used to investigate and code adult-child mathematics talk exist. We conducted…

Research suggests exposure to misinformation continues to impact belief and reasoning, even if that misinformation has been corrected (referred to as the Continued Influence Effect, CIE). The present experiment explores two potentially important factors that may impact the effect: (1) learner age; and (2) length of delay between retraction and…

Histone acetylation, catalyzed by e, has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy in Alzheimer's disease (AD). By longitudinally characterizing spatial memory at 3, 6, and 9 mo of age, we show that acute activation and inhibition of the histone acetyltransferase PCAF remediated memory impairments in 3xTG-AD mice in an age-related bidirectional…

A remarkable amount of perceptual development occurs in the first year after birth. In this article, we spotlight the case of color perception. We outline how within just 6 months, infants go from very limited detection of color as newborns to a more sophisticated perception of color that enables them to make sense of objects and the world around…

Artificial intelligence in education (AIED) applications have emerged as a promising solution to address the unique educational challenges faced by students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a lack of comprehensive meta-analyses examining the effectiveness of AIED applications on ASD students' academic achievement and the…
