Children are highly attuned to race early in life, yet parents often underestimate their capacity to process race-related information, delaying discussions about race. Research suggests that parents' perceptions of their children's readiness to learn about race influence the timing of these conversations; however, few studies have explored how…

There are gifted and talented children who go unnoticed in education systems and who are not provided with adequate teaching. This is a matter of concern, both for individual children and society at large. This mixed methods, multiple-case study of three inclusive preschools in Sweden investigates identification, teaching, quality of interactions,…

There is a growing body of literature signaling the relevance of race in leadership development, but many conventional models do not prompt exploration of this social identity. The omission of race in leadership curriculum is disadvantageous for all college students, but among White student leaders, it may be a continuance of White privilege. The…

Although scholars have examined how lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ+) students perceive their collegiate environments, few quantitative studies disaggregate data to see how populations within the LGBQ+ community experience certain outcomes. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate how student subgroups within the LGBQ+…

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is often associated with impaired perspective-taking skills. Deception is an important indicator of perspective-taking, and therefore may be thought to pose difficulties to people with ASD (e.g., Baron-Cohen in J Child Psychol Psychiatry 3:1141-1155, 1992). To test this hypothesis, we asked participants with and…

The present experiment examined the persuasiveness (measured primarily by proportions of guilty verdicts) of the testimony of a single eyewitness as a function of witnessing conditions and method of presenting the testimony--via a Video or Audio recording or a written Transcript or Summary. Proportions of guilty verdicts showed little variation…

In cognitive diagnostic assessment, multiple fine-grained attributes are measured simultaneously. Attribute hierarchies are considered important structural features of cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs) that provide useful information about the nature of attributes. Templin and Bradshaw first introduced a hierarchical diagnostic classification…

Phishing emails pose a serious threat to individuals and organizations. Users' ability to identify phishing emails is critical to avoid becoming victims of these attacks. The current study examined the effectiveness of a short online phishing training program designed to help users identify phishing emails. Half of the participants were in the…

Screening tools for autism spectrum disorders serve a vital role in early identification of all children who may need evaluation and support. Recent studies suggest that traditional methods used in this field to translate such tools may be insufficient for maintaining linguistic, construct, or technical equivalence, resulting in screening tools…

Currently, there is a lack of research into educational methods which may help religious youth to develop or maintain religious identities. The aim of this case study was to use and evaluate a social justice program, "Justice"Walking, within a parish setting to see if that program increases religious participation and religious identity…

Purpose: This paper aims to draw attention to the significance of "acculturation" in organisations and organising and how learning occurs as micro-practices (organisational poetics). Design/methodology/approach: The recognition of the ontological significance of organisational acculturation invites a more critical view of the effects of…

"The Scales for Assessing Emotional Disturbance--Third Edition Rating Scale" (SAED-3 RS; Epstein et al.) is a standardized, norm-referenced measure designed to aid in the identification process by providing useful data to professionals determining eligibility of students with an emotional disturbance (ED). Three studies are reported to…

This chapter explores the need for an intersectional exploration of class and race to better understand leadership identity, capacity, and efficacy. The authors also offer strategies to support highlighting class and race intersections in leadership learning.

Background: The accuracy of the National Task Group-Early Detection Screen for Dementia (NTG-EDSD) was evaluated in a sample of 185 adults with Down syndrome (DS), emphasizing 'mild cognitive impairment (MCI-DS)'. Method: Knowledgeable informants were interviewed with the NTG-EDSD, and findings were compared to an independent dementia status…

Identifying illicit behavior in survey research is inherently problematic, since self-reports are untrustworthy. We argue that fraudulent interviewers can, however, be identified through statistical deviance of the distributional parameters of their interviews. We document that a high proportion of the variation in the data is due to the…
