The five Cs as a model of positive human development
Although widely known as an approach to positive youth development, Lerner and Lerner’s Five Cs model characterizes thriving in ways that reflect an age-general relational developmental systems perspective. A narrow focus on youth tethers the Five Cs model to a period of the life span often described as an ontogenetic laboratory—a period marked by relatively high plasticity during which malleability can be observed readily. As such, research on t…
Using the orthogenetic principle to explore the ontogeny of the positive development of Ugandan youth
A brief measure of adult playfulness
Emotion Knowledge Relates to Cortisol for Children Attending Head Start Preschool
Research Findings: The ability to manage emotions is thought to be important for regulating stress at a physiological level, yet no prior published studies have examined young children’s emotion understanding or knowledge in relation to the stress hormone cortisol. The present study investigated the statistical relation between emotion knowledge (EK) and cortisol levels for 307 young children ages 3–5 years who attended Head Start preschool, and …
A Humane Social Learning-Informed Metaverse
Online environments, such as metaverses, provide distinct social environments for people to engage in complex, cognitive, and multidirectional learning and meaning-making experiences. These engaging and influential environments highlight important factors associated with the Social Learning Theory (a process through which external settings influence behavior in specific environments). According to this theory, environments provide a space for you…
Exploring teachers’ emotions in Eastern Canada
Teaching is both deeply inter- and intrapersonal, with the vast majority of time spent with students in the classroom. Taking an interactionist, positive psychology perspective, this exploratory study aimed to describe the emotions involved in salient positive and negative teaching experiences. 68 teachers participated in this anonymous survey-based study. Thematic analysis resulted in themes from positive experiences such as student-successes, r…
Don't do more do different
Although teachers are involved in many aspects of the psychological assessment, very little research has examined their experiences with and perceptions of the entire psychoeducational assessment process. Previous research has relied on surveys and has assumed that teachers have a foundational understanding of the purpose of the assessment. The current study used qualitative description to examine teacher perceptions of and experiences with the p…
Sounding like a father
Previous work on the Osaka dialect (OD) collectively suggests that this western regional variant of Japanese is associated with informality, masculinity, and affective fatherhood-social meanings that can be recruited in the construction of audio-visual media personas. This study examines the use of OD by one protagonist in the film Soshite chichi ni naru/Like father, like son, as well as the social meanings that listeners attribute to this variet…
The epidemiology of chronic pain in children and adolescents revisited
Does assessment for learning make a difference? The development of a questionnaire to explore the student response
Assessment for learning is a widely used term and the concept forms the basis of many teaching innovations in higher education. However, the definitions and scope of assessment for learning vary considerably. We describe a conceptualisation of assessment for learning that encompasses current thinking in a holistic way and which has been trialled and extensively refined in practice. A student questionnaire is presented which has enabled us to expl…
