The present study explores moral identity, moral emotion attribution, moral responsibility, acceptability, and moral decisions in adolescents. We hypothesized that moral identity predicts moral decisions in adolescents. Furthermore, we hypothesized that moral emotions mediate the relationship between moral identity and moral decisions and moral…

Deciding whether two different face photographs or voice samples are from the same person represent fundamental challenges within applied settings. To date, most research has focussed on average performance in these tests, failing to consider individual differences and within-person consistency in responses. Here, participants completed the same…

Concept inventories are commonly used tools in physics education research (PER) for evaluating teaching methods. Student responses to concept inventories have been studied using classical test theoretical methods such as factor analysis and network methods such as module analysis. The results of these studies have been used to evaluate the…

Orienteering is a sport that involves navigating. As navigation skills relate to individual visuospatial factors, it is worth examining whether practicing orienteering is associated with people's visuospatial abilities and wayfinding attitudes. A sample of 51 participants comprising three groups of 17 individuals with different orienteering…

When responding to knowledge questions, people monitor their confidence in the knowledge they retrieve from memory and strategically regulate their responses so as to provide answers that are both correct and informative. The current study investigated the association between subjective confidence and the use of two response strategies: seeking…

This is the third and final column of a special series on the topic of universal design for learning. Interested readers are encouraged to review the previous two articles: Enhancing Executive Function While Addressing Learner Variability in Inclusive Classrooms (Volume 56, Issue 3) (EJ1280159) and Classroom Menus for Supporting the Academic…

External supervision is an expanding practice among social workers noted by many authors. However, the empirical evidence of its impact on work efficiency is mixed at best. In the current study, we empirically test the effect of external supervision on social workers' work engagement and perceived self-efficacy. Our treatment consists of five…

Despite extensive conceptualization of ions as hard spheres in most textbooks, solid-state structures are more accurately modeled as overlapping soft spheres that better reflect the size of the ions. The corresponding soft-sphere ionic radii of alkali and halide ions can be empirically established from the partial molar volume of the ions in…

Many studies mention the social valorization of creative individuals. However, previous works show contrasting results concerning both this valorization and the links between creativity and the two dimensions of social judgment (individuals' warmth and competence). Consequently, we implemented two paradigms classically used when examining the…

Children's low academic skills are associated with a variety of behavior problems and maladaptive outcomes throughout childhood and adulthood. Given the prevalence of behavioral disorders is approximately 19% of all US children, understanding of the mechanisms through which academic achievement and externalizing behavior problems interact can…

The equal odds baseline is a parsimonious model that describes the relationship between quantity and quality of output in scientific creativity. Specifically, it is posited that quality is a linear function of quantity, and therefore, strong positive correlations between these two variables are expected. Strong positive correlations also play a…

Background/Aim: To know the differences in balance of people with intellectual disability with and without obesity. Method: 549 people with intellectual disability were evaluated. Participants were categorized as obese or non-obese according to their body mass index. All participants were evaluated with tests for static and semi-static balance.…

This chapter summarizes existing evidence on the link between education and innovation and presents open questions for future research. After a brief review of theoretical frameworks on the link between education, innovation, and economic growth, we explore three alternative policies to encourage innovation through education: expanding access to…

The present study sought to explore the relationship between a community's characteristics and the local community college. Founded with the objective of serving the needs of their local communities, community colleges provide an important access point to postsecondary education for a variety of groups, including students from low-income…

This quantitative correlational study was conducted to determine if and to what extent Stress mediated the relationship between Harmonious Passion, Obsessive Passion, and Burnout among college students at a university in the South-Central United States. Harmonious Passion and Obsessive Passion were the predictor variables; Stress was the mediator…
