It's never too early to enjoy math (or not): The emergence of children's emotions toward math in the preschool years
Acquiring mathematical competence is a complex process that begins in early childhood, long before formal schooling. Even though emotional experiences associated with mathematical activities are theorized to influence motivation, engagement and learning outcomes, research on the emergence of math-related emotions in preschool-aged children remains scarce. The present study investigates whether children aged 4-to-5 years already manifest different…
National disparities favoring males are reflected in girls’ implicit associations about gender and academic subjects
Based on data for N = 2,756 children (1,410 girls; M age = 8.10 years) from 16 data sets spanning five nations, this study investigated relations between national gender disparities and children's beliefs about gender and academic subjects. One national-level gender disparity involved inequalities in socioeconomic standing favoring adult males over females (U.N. Human Development Index). The other involved national-level gaps in standardized math…
Promoting Youth‐Led Change Through Street Soccer: Evaluation of a Participatory Sports‐Based Programme for Socially Vulnerable Youth
Research has shown that sports‐based programmes are particularly effective in addressing socially vulnerable youth. Few studies, however, have adopted a community psychology perspective to analyse sports‐based programmes taking place in public spaces, where the presence of youth is often perceived as problematic. This work illustrates a street outreach, Youth‐led participatory action research‐oriented programme based on street soccer, aimed at pr…
Supportive error feedback fosters students' adaptive reactions towards errors: Evidence from a targeted online intervention with Italian middle school students
BackgroundAlthough it is well established that students' adaptive reactions towards errors promote learning outcomes, little is still known about the role of error feedback in promoting these reactions.AimThrough a targeted intervention based on an online teaching unit, this study aimed at testing whether supportive error feedback promotes more adaptive students' reactions towards errors and higher learning outcomes.SampleA total of 250 (Mage = 1…
The effects of interpreting training on executive functions: A longitudinal study
Previous research has yielded conflicting evidence as regards the benefits of interpreting training on the development of cognitive processes involved in simultaneous interpreting. In this longitudinal study, we examined the changes in memory and inhibition profiles of two cohorts of interpreting students (study group) and two cohorts of translation students (control group) across three (cohort 1) or two measurement sessions (cohort 2) over their…
The contributions of working memory domains and processes to early mathematical knowledge between preschool and first grade
Working Memory (WM) plays a crucial role in supporting children’s mathematical learning. However, there is no consensus on the relative contributions of different WM domains (i.e., verbal, visuo-spatial, and numerical–verbal) and processes (i.e., low-control and high-control) to mathematical performance, specifically before and after the onset of formal education. This cross-sectional study examined the relations between WM domains and processes …
Women and #MeToo in Italy: Internalized sexualization is associated with tolerance of sexual harassment and negative views of the #MeToo movement
As a consequence of exposure to sexualized messages, girls and women may internalize the belief that sexual attractiveness to men is an important aspect of their identity. Whereas research on internalized sexualization has mainly focused on its consequences for girls’ well-being and academic outcomes, the present study ( N = 222, women, aged 20 to 29) examined whether internalized sexualization is related to sexist attitudes and tolerance of sexu…
Math anxiety interferes with learning novel mathematics contents in early elementary school
Whereas some evidence exists that math anxiety may interfere with math performance from the very \nbeginning of primary school, no study to date has attempted to investigate whether math anxiety may also \ninterfere with early math learning (i.e., the encoding of new math knowledge) and not only with recalling \nalready mastered contents in test situations. Across 2 experiments carried out in 2 different countries \n(Study 1: N 115, conducted in …
Developmental relations between sense of community and well‐being among early adolescents: A latent change score modelling study
Previous research on sense of community (SOC) has predominantly assumed that this construct plays a role in predicting well‐being (WB). However, it is only recently that a bidirectional relationship between SOC and WB has been hypothesised and tested. Moreover, no study investigated the longitudinal relationships between psychological WB and SOC among early adolescents. The present research followed a sample of middle school students from six‐gra…
Sense of Community in Early Adolescents: Validating the Scale of Sense of Community in Early Adolescents
Psychological sense of community among early adolescents has been investigated using instruments developed for adolescents/adults or ad hoc scales. The aim was to contribute to the validation of a scale of Sense of Community in Early Adolescents (SoC-EA) using a 3-year longitudinal study. Participants were 576 Italian students attending middle schools. Participants filled out a questionnaire 3 times, in the second term of their first, second, and…

Girls' math performance under stereotype threat: The moderating role of mothers' gender stereotypes
Previous research on stereotype threat in children suggests that making gender identity salient disrupts girls' math performance at as early as 5 to 7 years of age. The present study (n = 124) tested the hypothesis that parents' endorsement of gender stereotypes about math moderates girls' susceptibility to stereotype threat. Results confirmed that stereotype threat impaired girls' performance on math tasks among students from kindergarten throug…
