This study systematically reviewed 46 studies on adolescent digital citizenship searched by November 2022 and synthesized that (a) the predictors of adolescents' levels of digital citizenship include demographic (e.g., gender and computer use experience), individual (e.g., social networking use and Internet skills) and psychological (e.g.,…

To see whether communicative-based multimodal skills (compared to non-communicative motor skills) predicted complex language skills, this study examined the predictive power of multimodal and motor skills on narrative and expressive pragmatic abilities across two groups. Participants were children with typical development (N = 88, M[subscript age]…

The Lines-of-Defense model postulates that older adults should engage in important health goals and behaviors for as long as possible and adjust them downwardly only when they become impossible to pursue. This process is thought to be supported by goal engagement and self-protective control strategies. We tested this model in a 4-year longitudinal…

Kindergarten readiness is shaped by both family and school contexts, highlighting the importance of an ecological perspective on early learning. The current study examined whether parental engagement mediates the relationship between parents' protective factors (e.g., social support) and children's kindergarten readiness when controlling for…

The literature on generative "Artificial Intelligence" (AI) in education primarily focuses on its immediate benefits and applications, such as personalized learning, student engagement, and content generation. However, there is a notable absence of empirical research concerning the holistic use of generative AI within educational…

This study aimed to explore the impact of basic psychological needs on satisfaction with using generative AI and ChatGPT in particular. Further, an adaptation of the "Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction for Technology Use" (BPN-TU) scale was conducted throughout the study. The study developed a unique research model based on the…

Policymakers are often urged to rely on "evidence-based policy" (EBP)--adopting only interventions proven effective (i.e., positive and statistically significant in multisite impact evaluations). EBP clearinghouses chronicle and rate tests of social policy interventions. But EBP clearinghouse standards are based almost entirely on…

The purpose of the present study was to examine the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between guilt-/shame-proneness and self-forgiveness. The study is based on the Hall and Fincham's self-forgiveness model which indicated guilt and shame proneness as emotional predictors of self-forgiveness. The sample consisted of 300…

Purpose: This study examines how and whether expectancy for success and task values influence students' persistence in work placement learning tasks (persistence). Also, it examines the mediating role of task values in the expectancy for success and students' persistence nexus. Design/methodology/approach: This is a two-study finding. In Study 1,…

Pre-lab summary videos supplement gross anatomy courses by helping students navigate difficult concepts, increasing student confidence, and allowing for content review outside the laboratory. Few studies have examined the direct correlation between video viewing and performance outcomes. This study uses performance outcome data from six…

Including a large number of predictors in the imputation model underlying a multiple imputation (MI) procedure is one of the most challenging tasks imputers face. A variety of high-dimensional MI techniques can help, but there has been limited research on their relative performance. In this study, we investigated a wide range of extant…

Terminal efficiency is an indicator that evaluates the productivity of a higher education institution and reflects a crucial aspect of the quality of its offered programmes. This study aimed to determine the successful graduation of undergraduate students from a dental school at a Peruvian university over six years, using the terminal efficiency…

This study examined the effects of career-related teacher support on Nigerian (N = 201) and Zambian (N = 192) university students' decisions to choose teaching as a career. In study 1 (Nigerian universities) and study 2 (Zambian universities), data were collected from students who took the 12 weeks of teaching practice exercise at three timepoints…

Recent research on the use of eye movements to predict performance on reading comprehension tasks suggests that while eye movements may be used to measure comprehension, the relationship between eye-movement behavior and comprehension is influenced by differences in task demands between comprehension measures. In this study, we examined the…

The objective of this study is to examine social media mindfulness and other social media habits as predictors of depression in adolescents. As depression and poor mental health increase for American adolescents, so does the research surrounding the positive outcomes associated with mindfulness. It is possible that mindfulness could be an…
