Hidden Bias
Achievement gaps in school readiness between dual language learners (DLLs) and their English-only peers persist, in part because common assessment practices do not fully capture DLLs’ abilities. Using the Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey, a nationally representative sample of Head Start children, this study examines whether DLLs’ performance varies by assessment language. Applying a fuzzy regression discontinuity design, we found th…

What I say is not what I do
Consistent evidence shows that women are underrepresented across most Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics fields. Research indicates that early attitudes and gendered beliefs about mathematics can predict later achievement and academic choices in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics and that children's attitudes are tied to parents' beliefs and interactions with their children surrounding math. To identify potential ant…
Analyzing teacher audio
The relation between mathematical achievement in early childhood and future academic success is well established. However, our knowledge about the effect of instruction on mathematical performance is often reliant upon self-report or videotaped instruction measures and standardized achievement assessments.The current study uses teacher audio recordings to examine the role of classroom mathematics instruction in the growth of adaptive early mathem…

A metascience investigation of inclusive, open, and reproducible science practices in research posters at the 2021 SRCD biennial meeting
Over the past decade, there has been a growing appreciation of metascience issues in psychological science. Using data collected from 2615 posters presented at the 2021 biennial meeting of the Society for Research in Child Development, this article examines the use of transparent research practices to increase rigor and reproducibility as well as generalizability through greater inclusivity of diverse samples. Research presented through poster pr…

International comparisons of the home mathematics environment and relations with children's mathematical achievement
BackgroundHome mathematics environment (HME) research has focused on parent-child interactions surrounding numerical activities as measured by the frequency of engaging in such activities. However, HME survey questions have been developed from limited perspectives (e.g., Early Childhood Research Quarterly, 27, 2012, 231; Journal of Social Issues, 64, 2008, 95; Early childhood mathematics education research: Learning trajectories for young childre…
Working memory development from early childhood to adolescence using two nationally representative samples
We leveraged nationally representative data from the Panel study of Income Dynamics-Child Development Supplement ( N = 3,562) and the Early Childhood Longitudinal study ( N = 18,174), to chart the development of working memory, indexed via verbal forward and backward digit span task performance, from 3 to 19 years of age. Results revealed nonlinear growth patterns for forward and backward digit span tasks, with the most rapid growth occurring dur…

Secular humanism and rational-emotive therapy
A neglected aspect of humanistic psychology today is secular humanism, which espouses many of the values common to other kinds of humanism but is opposed to religious, mystical, and spiritual humanism. Secular humanism is relativist, skeptical, and nondogmatic and emphasizes the best and most practical aspects of the scientific method together with human choice and meaningfulness. Rational‐emotive therapy originated from a secular humanist outloo…

Rational-Emotive Therapy
This article examines 32 important clinical and personality hypotheses of rational-emotive therapy (RET) and other modes of cognitive-behavior therapy and lists a large number of research studies that provide empirical confirmation of these hypotheses. It concludes that (1) a vast amount of research data exists, most of which tends to confirm the major clinical and personality hypotheses of RET; (2) this data keeps increasing by leaps and bounds;…

Homosexuality
It is my contention that a fixed or exclusive homosexual in our contemporary society is wrong meaning, inefficient, self-defeating, and emotionally disturbed but that he has an inalienable right, as a human being, to be wrong, and should never be persecuted or punished for his errors. Before, however, I establish the right of the homosexual to be wrong, it will be necessary for me to demonstrate, with data stronger than mere opinion, that Sxed de…

They also indicated that they took being in love with males quite ser…
