Previous studies have found that in nonclinical samples centrality of positive events is usually higher than centrality of negative events. In this study, we investigated the centrality and its relation to valence by considering additional predictor variables (i.e., intensity, time since event, self-concept clarity) as well as age group…

Thinking and writing draw on those who have gone before, in a more than abstract way. In this article, I answer the call of one philosopher--Novalis, the early German Romantic--in the form of a séance, which is really a dialogue with the dead. I speak to him, as a Maori writer, about the abstract philosophical issues that Maori encounter and…

One of the main challenges of massive open online courses (MOOCs) is the effective facilitation of learners in the course forum. The more learners participating in the forum, the more difficult it is for instructors to provide timely support. The effective intervention of teaching assistants (TAs) can play a crucial role in mitigating this issue;…

A significant challenge of pandemic teaching was creating active small group learning experiences in a synchronous online learning environment. Efforts to address this challenge led to an instructional process, using multiple Google Apps, that was not only effective in an online setting, but has the potential to improve seated small group…

Teen-centric programs have proliferated in art museums across the U.S. and much of Europe, and scores of these programs target young people--and youth of color, specifically--as a way to grow museum audiences and relevance to a diverse public. However, few studies examine how teen-centric programs impact the youth involved and how they make sense…

The essay reports two studies on confirmatory factor analysis of speeded data with an effect of selective responding. This response strategy leads test takers to choose their own working order instead of completing the items along with the given order. Methods for detecting speededness despite such a deviation from the given order are proposed and…

The current study investigated whether the deep properties or shallow features of behaviors are implicitly expected to be consistent across members of highly entitative groups, by exploiting the notion that goals--as deep properties--and movements--as shallow features--can be dissociated in object-directed behaviors. Participants were asked to…

Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is widely recognized as a prominent 21st-century skill to be mastered. Until recently, research on CPS has often focused on problem solution by the individual; the interest in investigating how the theorized problem-solving constructs function as broader social units, such as pairs or small groups, is relatively…
