Evidence for the independence of positive and negative well‐being

Large Verbal - Non-verbal Ability Differences and Underachievement
In a large-scale study (over 10,000 11-year-olds) of verbal-non-verbal ability differences and underachievement it was found that children who had large V-NV ability differences were more likely to be underachieving in reading comprehension or mathematics or both than children of the same overall ability with more similar V and NV components. The rates for "severe" underachievement (2 standard errors below expectation, based on regression of achi…
The Stability of Children's Laterality Prevalences and Their Relationship to Measures of Performance

Approximately 86 per cent of children were consistent in their hand preference from 7 to 11; and most children who changed were mixed‐handed at 7. Th…
