The use of cartoon illustration for the assessment of social science concepts
The assessment of conceptual knowledge presents a challenge, particularly at the university level, at which large class size precludes individual assessment for assessment through multiple-choice examinations. This practitioner essay sets forth an alternative format: the use of cartoon illustration as a tool for the assessment of students’ conceptual knowledge. The context is an upper-division (third- and fourth-year students) psychology class at…

Issues of translation and “lost science” are addressed. For the author, this experience raised awareness…

This is especially true among the emerging and developing nations (EDNs), such as the BRICS nations, encompassing Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The present study conducted a survey examining the translational integrity and overall impression of translated summary materia…
Quality of life among Asian American youth
The aims of the present study were to examine whether Asian American youth experience disparities in quality of life (QL) compared with Hispanic, African American, and white youth in the general population and to what extent socioeconomic status (SES) mediates any disparities among these racial/ethnic groups. Data were obtained from the Healthy Passages study, in which 4,972 Asian American (148; 3%), Hispanic (1,813; 36%), African American (1,755…
