Background: Many children in the United States are victims of bullying; many of the victimized retaliate, aggressively bullying those who have bullied them. Objective: Applying the multiple disadvantage model, this U.S.-based secondary study of data describing bullied children's own perpetration of bullying examined this behavior's relationship to…

Given the impact of engineering on society, it is crucial that engineering graduates have an appreciation of the social aspects of the profession and an understanding of the social implications of engineering practice. However, the socio-technical integration in engineering education has proven challenging and it is still a matter of concern. The…

Future needs and challenges, especially in complex real-world problem-solving, require education to equip individuals with quality skills. Inquiry-based learning that integrates socio-scientific issues (SSI) can significantly develop students' problem-solving skills. This study aims to test the effects of the Socio-Scientific Real-world Inquiry…

Collaborative problem solving (CPS) is an important skill enabling students to co-construct knowledge and tackle complex problems through group interactions. While the importance of group interactions in CPS is well recognized, it is unclear how the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GAI), with advanced cognitive support, may alter…

Objective: The psychometric properties of a measure of social determinants of health for college students entitled, The LIFESCREEN-C was developed. Participants: A sample of 226 college students completing an online survey during the 2018-2019 academic year. Methods: Tetrachoric correlations were used to confirm a three factor model. Results:…

Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia Reactivity (RSA-R) correlates both positively and negatively with externalizing behaviour in autistic individuals. These inconsistencies may result from task-based differences. This pilot study measured RSA-R in 4-to 6-year-olds, across two timepoints, using four validated tasks with matched baseline and challenge…

Friendships are important for the mental well-being of emerging adults. Socially prescribed perfectionism, where individuals feel pressured to be perfect by others, can be destructive, leading to conflict with others, depressive symptoms, and problematic drinking. However, its impact on friendships is not well-explored. This study examined 174…

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,…

Computational thinking (CT), as one of the key skills in the twenty-first century, has been integrated into educational programming as an important learning goal. This study aims to explore CT processes involved in pair programming with the support of visual flow design. Thirty freshmen participated, working in pairs to solve two programming…

This preregistered, longitudinal study examined how much adolescents value and integrate their parents' and peers' attitudes into their own attitudes from early to middle adolescence. Across three waves, participants (N = 172, 91 female, 11-16 years across three waves; 439 data points) decided whether to pay money to learn their parents' or peers'…

Background: Engineering problems are open-ended and complex, involving technical and social aspects, yet engineering education focuses on technical training and closed-ended problems. To prepare engineering students, curricula should foster sociotechnical thinking--the ability to consider the interplay of technical and social factors during…

The starting reasoning and promoting switch from intuitive system 1 to deliberate system 2 for provoking creative thinking is lacking feasible model, especially during the global pandemic. We established a visible, trainable and learnable (VTL) model with digital technique to promote this dual switch for creative thinking. This study was…

Echolalia has been described as the repetition of words, phrases, songs or other more elaborate dialogues uttered by another person, which may be immediate or delayed (International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision; "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders", 5th ed.). Some classify echolalia as a communication…

The teaching-learning process in engineering aims to meet current societal demands and address real challenges faced by businesses and the job market. Challenge-based learning (CBL) has gained traction as an active and innovative approach in engineering education, introducing real challenges and open questions to the classroom regarding…

The effectiveness of group problem-solving in mathematics depends on the extent to which meaningful participation is distributed across all group members. One way to explore how participation is distributed within groups is by examining how students are positioned within group interactions. In this study, we explore the social instructional…
