Moulton, Vanessa; Flouri, Eirini; Joshi, Heather; Sullivan, Alice – Research Papers in Education, 2018
Often young children already have some ideas about what they want to do in the future. Using data from a large UK cohort study, we investigated the individual determinants of seven-year-old children's aspirations, controlling for parental socio-economic background and parental involvement in learning. At age 7, not all children's aspirations were…

The singularity effect of identifiable victims is described as the greater willingness to help a single, identified victim than to help a group of victims with the same need (whether victims are identified or not), which occurs even when the single victim is one of the group's members. The current research examines the development of this…

Alternative Conceptions about Micro-Organisms Are Influenced by Experiences with Disease in Children
Prokop, Pavol; Fancovicová, Jana; Krajcovicová, Adriána – Journal of Biological Education, 2016
Children's ideas concerning natural phenomena often differ from those of scientists, and these ideas are termed as alternative conceptions. The prevalence of alternative conceptions is highest among young children who possess less experience with the natural world as compared with adults. Children's ideas about micro-organisms are of special…

We examined the extent to which disparities in the receipt of special education services for speech or language impairments (SLIs) on the basis of race, ethnicity, or language use by kindergarten--when the delivery of these services might be expected to be most effective--have changed over a 12-year period in the United States. Logistic regression…

This study investigated the importance of affiliation to young children following priming with ostracism. Four- and 5-year-old children were primed with either…
