Prevalence and Correlates of Adverse Childhood Experiences in LGBTQ+ Populations
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) research suggests that marginalized populations experience more ACEs, but there is limited work on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ+) populations. To (a) systematically review the literature on ACEs in LGBTQ+ populations via a narrative review and meta-analyses; (b) compare the prevalence of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4+ ACEs, as well as individual ACE items, between LGBTQ+ and reference…
Digital technology use and associations with children’s learning and social interaction
This study aimed to identify distinct trajectories of children's digital technology use from ages 3 to 9 years and examine their associations with key aspects of learning and social interaction. Data were drawn from a nationally representative longitudinal cohort of children recruited at birth in 2008 and followed biennially. Latent class growth analysis was used to estimate digital technology use trajectories, and conditional regression analyses…
Adverse childhood experiences
Exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), including maltreatment and family dysfunction, is a major contributor to the global burden of disease and disability. With a large body of international literature on ACEs having emerged over the past 25 years, it is timely to now synthetize the available evidence to estimate the global prevalence of ACEs and, through a series of moderator analyses, determine which populations are at higher risk. …
Changes in Depression and Anxiety Among Children and Adolescents From Before to During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Importance There is a growing body of high-quality cohort-based research that has examined changes in child and adolescent mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic vs before the pandemic. Some studies have found that child and adolescent depression and anxiety symptoms have increased, while others have found these symptoms to have remained stable or decreased. Objective To synthesize the available longitudinal cohort-based research evidence to …
Inclusion of children with disabilities and special educational needs in physical education
Since the publication of the Education for People with Special Educational Needs Act in 2004, inclusion in Ireland has become a priority for the educational system.Despite the promotion of physical education (PE) as a key setting for facilitating inclusion in schools, research has shown that the children with special educational needs and disabilities are still excluded from PE.Research evidence shows that teachers' attitudes and self-efficacy an…
Teachers’ attitudes towards inclusion in physical education
The case for inclusion of students with disabilities and special educational needs (SEND) in mainstream physical education (PE) classes has increased over the last four decades. This is because PE has been consistently reported as a key whole-child context for promoting the inclusion of SEND students; though, research still shows that teachers’ attitudes are still proximal factors constraining the inclusion of achievement of inclusion goals. This…
Does a dance-based physical education (DBPE) intervention improve year 4 pupils’ reading comprehension attainment? Results from a pilot study in England
There is consensus on the need for new interventions which enhance reading attainment in English schools. In this study, we examine the effects of a Dance-Based Physical Education (DBPE) intervention on reading comprehension (RC). The study employed a mixed-methodology: combining a pre-post test quasi-experimental research design (intervention, n = 24; control n = 18) with process evaluation (follow-up) focus groups. Participants were two Year 4 …
Bidirectional associations between screen time and children’s externalizing and internalizing behaviors
BACKGROUND: While it has been purported that excessive screen time can lead to behavioral problems, it has also been suggested that children with behavioral dysregulation receive more access to screens to manage problematic behavior. In this study, both temporally stable and longitudinal associations between screen time and externalizing and internalizing behaviors across childhood are examined to directly address this issue of directionality. ME…
Psychological Determinants of Physical Activity and Development in Early Childhood Among Children With Developmental Delays
Among the various psychological determinants of physical activity (PA) in early childhood, relatively little attention has been paid to the role of parent beliefs in the benefits of PA for their child. Believing that PA is beneficial may impact parent behavior, resulting in more opportunities for PA in early childhood, particularly among children with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDs) who may face more barriers to PA. Greater opportunity for …
Effect of a six-week dance-based physical education intervention on primary school children’s creativity
There is international consensus that creativity is a fundamental outcome of schooling. Opportunities exist to enhance the creativity of schoolchildren, particularly in movement-based subjects such as physical education (PE). In this pilot study, we investigated the effect of a six-week dance-based PE intervention on children’s creativity in a primary school context. Forty second grade students participated in a controlled trial. One class ( n = …
Beyond Broadway
Movement in response to music represents one of the natural social environments in which physical activity occurs. The study of music and movement, including dance, requires a careful, holistic consideration of many features, which may include music, physical activity, motor learning, social engagement, emotion, and creativity. The overarching goal of this manuscript is to examine qualitative characteristics of and individual responses to a music…
What sort of ‘inclusion’ is Continuing Professional Development promoting? An investigation of a national CPD programme for inclusive physical education
Inclusion is positioned at the forefront of global educational reform. The study reported focused on a national Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme for Inclusive Physical Education (IPE) in England. The research was designed to critically explore how CPD providers (i.e. tutors) variously conceptualised and practiced inclusion in the context of running a day-long CPD course for physical education teachers. Using qualitative methodo…
Getting ‘in’ and ‘out of alignment’
While the identification of risks associated with sedentary lifestyles provided a strong foundation for what we understand by ‘fitness’ today, research across the social sciences and humanities has been rather more ambivalent about the term. One important cause for concern here is the cultural proximity of ‘fitness’ to consumer culture by means of the ‘fitness industry’. It has been shown, for example, that the pursuit of fitness has become incre…
Negotiating Fitness, From Consumption to Virtuous Production
By shifting our attention toward everyday life, its manifold commitments and responsibilities, this paper examines the potential for “fitness” to take on an extended meaning beyond consumption activity. In the opening sections, Robert Nozick’s (1974) “Experience Machine” thought experiment is presented as an alternative analytic frame for interpreting the problem of fitness in terms of a tension between mere activity and experience. In relation t…
Leisure and the Luxury of Expérience
This article examines the concept "experience"-"the elusive master concept"-which, in spite of its widespread use in leisure research and status as a modern ideal, has become the subject of much critical attention. The article begins by reviewing this critical material and presents a selective overview of the uses experience has for leisure research. Specifically, I caution against the notion that experience can provide epistemologically sufficie…
The Pragmatics of Leisure Revisited
Henderson's notion of the pragmatics of leisure research is revisited in order to comment about the discipline's paradigmatic assumptions. First, the notion of an interpretive paradigm is called into question. I suggest that we should move away from talking about alternative ways of knowing to alternative ways describing phenomena under certain agreed upon standards. Then, I present a number of critical remarks on Henderson's reflection, argue fo…
Considering a complemental model of health and fitness
This article examines the concept of fitness, which, in spite of its much avowed cultural significance, has become the subject of much critical attention. In particular, it considers the now contested relation of fitness to health; the fact that, although there appears to be a clear consensus on a simple causal relation between the two, this has been deemed illusory outside the medico-scientific context of its production. In response to the probl…
False dichotomies
Despite the fact that the experiential perspective has had a profound impact on the way we view leisure behaviour, experiential matters have been renounced for being overtly subjective. As a corollary, experiential matters have been castigated for their inability to offer concrete criteria for leisure policy and the provisions of services. This paper argues that this dismissal of experiential matters is based on an overinflated dichotomy – the fa…
