Remote monitoring of implementation fidelity using log-file data from multiple online learning platforms
The impact of educational programs on student learning is contingent upon the quality and fidelity of their implementations. Yet, the most reliable method of implementation monitoring, direct observation, may be infeasible for large-scale efficacy studies. Here, we use log-file data from an efficacy study assessing the impact of gamified learning technologies on algebraic knowledge to measure the fidelity of implementations remotely within and ac…

The Influence of Discrimination and Coping Style on Blood Pressure Among Black/African American Women in the InterGEN Study
Purpose: Although research has explored the effects of racism on mental health, few studies have investigated the effects of racism on physical health. In this study, we examined the influence of racial discrimination and race-related stress and coping on blood pressure within a cohort of Black/African American women. Methods: This was a secondary data analysis of 226 Black/African American women from the Intergenerational Impact of Genetic and P…
Examining the mutual relations between language and mathematics
42, 95% CI [.40, .44]. Moderation and partial correlation analyses revealed the following: (a) more complicated language and mathematics skills were associated with stronger relations between language and mathematics; after partialing out working memory and intelligence, rapid automatized naming showed the strongest relation to numerical knowledge; (b) the relation between language and mathematics was stronger among native language speakers than …
Testing epistemic democracy’s claims for majority rule
While epistemic democrats have claimed that majority rule recruits the wisdom of the crowd to identify correct answers to political problems, the conjecture remains abstract. This article illustrates how majority rule leverages the epistemic capacity of the electorate to practically enhance the instrumental value of elections. To do so, we identify a set of sufficient conditions that effect such a majority rule mechanism, even when the decision i…
Teacher support as a protective factor against sadness and hopelessness for adolescents experiencing parental incarceration
Depression among Mexican-origin mothers
We found support for the mediating role of cultural assets in the link between acculturation and depression, but some associations were in unexpected directions. These findings highlight the complexities of preserving core cultural characteristics among Mexican-origin mothers living in the United States, and the need to consider the context in which cultural processes unfold.

Poverty, social exclusion and the denial of rights to a fair hearing
Drawing on data from a research study of workers who sought justice following a dispute at work, this paper examines exclusion from systems of justice as a crucial element in understandings of poverty and social exclusion. We focus on the stories of those who attempt to use the employment tribunal system, which illustrate the multiple barriers to justice experienced by these workers. Arguing that the employment tribunal system provides a crucial …
Accessing Socially Excluded People - Trust and the Gatekeeper in the Researcher-Participant Relationship
This paper describes methodological findings from research to recruit and research hard-to-reach socially excluded people. We review the ways in which researchers have used particular strategies to access hard-to-reach individuals and groups and note that little attention has been given to understanding the implications of the nature of the trust relationship between researcher and participant. Gatekeepers invariably play a role in accessing soci…
