Purpose: Research remains equivocal regarding the links between hyoid movement and penetration-aspiration. The aims of this study were (a) to explore associations between hyoid parameters, laryngeal vestibule closure (LVC) parameters, and penetration-aspiration on thin liquids; and (b) to determine which of these parameters are the strongest…

Purpose: While science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) postdoctoral scholars often enter their positions with strong science identities, racially marginalized scholars are often not treated as scientists, which can weaken their science identities. This study aims to examine how racial discrimination negatively affects their science…

Stress and poor sleep quality are serious and common problems among university students that could have detrimental effects on their academic performance. International students may experience greater difficulty than domestic students because they also need to deal with the challenges associated with moving to a new culture. The present study aims…

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of lexical diversity on writing proficiency of Saudi EFL learners. Seventy-five Saudi EFL learners at the tertiary stage took part in this study (39 in level 2 and 36 in level 7). Their writing work is assessed and analysed using "Text Inspector" (a web-based language analysis tool). The…

This study aims to explore the correlation between the reading strategies (RSs) and reading self-efficacy (RSE) for the Saudi EFL learners and to what extent this correlation affects reading comprehension (RC).

Scientific progress depends on the integrity of data and research findings. Intentionally distorting research data and findings constitutes scientific misconduct and introduces falsehoods into the scientific record. Unintentional distortions arising from questionable research practices (QRPs), such as unsystematically deleting outliers, pose…

Parental burnout is a state that parents feel exhausted in their parental role. Although past research has examined concurrent correlates of parental burnout, the impacts of parental burnout on adolescent development over time remain largely unknown. The current study explored the indirect mechanisms linking mothers' parental burnout to…

The present study evaluated the hypothesis that the strength of the relationship between executive function (EF) and repetitive behaviors and restricted interests (RBRI) symptomatology is moderated by the degree to which concurrent demands are placed on multiple aspects of EF. An eye movement task was used to evaluate inhibition and task switching…
