The crucial role of teachers' interpersonal communication skills in diverse aspects of second language (L2) education has been endorsed by prior scholarship. Such significance multiplies in artificial intelligence (AI)-mediated education in which interaction fosters understanding and using content and feedback. Nevertheless, the literature has…

What do children do when they do not want to obey but cannot afford to disobey? Might they, like adults, feign misunderstanding and seek out loopholes? Across four studies (N = 723; 44% female; USA; majority White; data collected 2020-2023), we find that loophole behavior emerges around ages 5 to 6 (Study 1, 3-18 years), that children think…

As adults, we do not expect ignorant agents to behave randomly or always get things wrong. Instead, we expect them to act reasonably, guided by past experiences. We test whether 4-to-6-year-olds share this intuition and use it to infer others' knowledge, or whether they rely on a simple "ignorance = error" heuristic identified in past…

A within-participant withdrawal design was used to examine the effects of a positive version of the Good Behavior Game (GBG) for three students in an elementary special education classroom for students with emotional or behavioral disorders (EBD).

The aim of this study was to investigate student teachers' agency in their identity negotiations as first-year students on a path towards becoming teachers.

The present study examined associations between sociocultural factors and self-regulation (parent-report, teacher-report, laboratory tasks), and prospective relations between self-regulation and behavioral adjustment (parent-, teacher-, child-report) in a socioeconomically diverse sample of Chinese American children in immigrant families (N = 258,…

Relying on experiential learning theory and adopting the framework of the emotional intelligence leadership styles, this research analyses the effectiveness of a leadership development programme for graduate students in promoting a change in individual behaviours. A quasi-experimental research design was implemented to analyse the improvement in…

"Behavior and Social Issues," 27, AA16-AA20, (2018) identified case managers, caregivers, and teachers as potential contributors to the…

Research Findings: Despite the fact that the universal two-child policy had a significant impact on family structure and parenting behaviors, there is still a paucity of study on the mechanisms underlying this policy's effects. This study explored the role of social competence and sibling presence in the relationship between maternal warmth and…
