Huang, Rui-Ting; Yu, Chung-Long; Tang, Tzy-Wen; Chang, Sheng-Chun – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2021
Although there have been numerous mobile learning studies, relatively few concerns the moderating impact of perceived fit on mobile learning outcomes. A total of 335 adult learners with a mobile language learning experience in Taiwan took part in this study. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) is used to determine the key…

Gabriele-Black, Kaitlin A.; Goldberg, Abbie E. – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2021
Historically, most Evangelical Christians have condemned LGBTQ people, citing Biblical passages establishing heteronormative sex and gender roles. As a result, Evangelical Christian colleges and universities can be difficult places for sexual and/or gender minorities, who face hostility, harassment, and even expulsion. Yet some LGBTQ students may…

Autistic people report difficulties with the demands of a neurotypical world, but little research has assessed the impact of the environment on such difficulties. We investigated the effect of ambient sounds on decision-making and heart rate variability. Adults without intellectual disability were allocated to autistic (n = 38) or neurotypical (n…

Higgins, Julianne M.; Arnold, Samuel R. C.; Weise, Janelle; Pellicano, Elizabeth; Trollor, Julian N. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021

Anecdotally, autistic burnout is described as a debilitating condition that severely impacts functioning, is linked to suicidal ideation and is driven by the stress of masking and living in an unaccommodating…

Frischkorn, Gidon T.; von Bastian, Claudia C. – Journal of Intelligence, 2021

Black, Rhonda S.; Kammes, Rebecca R. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) unquestionably have desires to engage in sexual and intimate relationships (Black & Kammes, 2019). However, with high rates of abuse and exploitation among people with IDD (Shapiro, 2018), it is important to evaluate their education regarding sexuality and romantic relationships.…
