Do as I Say
Classroom management critically affects students’ academic and behavioral outcomes, yet we lack quantitative methods for observing these practices at scale. This study develops and validates language-based measures of classroom management—such as responding to student behavior and issuing verbal or material sanctions—using natural language processing on 1,652 elementary mathematics classroom transcripts. On average, classroom management language …
Changes in household composition and their effects on the academic achievement of orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV in rural Zambia
The African kinship system facilitates the movement of children and adults between households to mitigate hardship, yet few studies have documented membership changes in rural African households over time and addressed the effects of these household dynamics on the developmental outcomes of children. We used a household inventory instrument to document the number of changes in household membership experienced by 93 households in rural Zambia betw…
Psychometric Evaluation of Aurora- a
The Theory of Successful Intelligence defines intelligence as the integrated set of abilities and competencies in specific domains needed to attain success in life. Informed by this theory, we examined the dimensionality, reliability, and validity of an augmented intelligence test, Aurora- a , a 17-subtest assessment of analytical, practical, and creative abilities and figural, numerical, and verbal competencies in middle childhood and early adol…
To Improve Motivational Barriers to Retention in High Resolution Anoscopy, Patients and Providers Recommend Social and Environmental Changes
Loss to follow-up (LTFU) in high-resolution anoscopy (HRA) programs jeopardizes the procedure's potential to help prevent anal cancer. We explored quality improvement factors to understand how to address this LTFU. Using the transtheoretical COM-B Model (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, and Behavior) and a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, we surveyed and interviewed 13 patients who remained engaged in HIV care but who delayed thei…

Cognitive and academic performance of rural Zambian youth exposed to HIV
Studies focusing on children affected by HIV have shown that they have generally lower academic performance, however, few studies separate children who are HIV exposed and infected (CHEI) and those who are HIV exposed but uninfected (CHEU). Importantly, in rural sub-Saharan Africa, the majority of studies on CHEI and CHEU examine academic performance indirectly based on cognitive test scores. Therefore, studies assessing the effects of HIV on aca…
Cognitive and Educational Interventions for Orphans and Vulnerable Children Affected by HIV/Aids
Orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV/AIDS (HIV OVC) are at risk for cognitive difficulties and lack of access to education. Interventions addressing cognitive or educational outcomes for HIV OVC worldwide were examined through systematic searches conducted from October 2016 to 2019. We examined the summative effectiveness of interventions and the specific effects of participant age and intervention length. Interventions targeting cogni…
New Directions for the Consideration of HIV
It has been almost 40 years since HIV emerged in the human population with an alarming impact in 1981, quickly reaching pandemic proportions. Reaching the goal of eradication, or at least ending the pandemic, however, has not been as easy as hoped. To better understand and therefore better address the persistence and often devastating effects of this now chronic disease, the heterogeneity of HIV-in the virus-human and human-human relationships it…
Introduction to the Issue
Sources of heterogeneity in developmental outcomes of children with past and current experiences of institutionalization in Russia
The present study sought to compare 4 groups of age- and gender-matched children-(a) those reared in institutions for children without parental care in Russia; (b) those raised by their biological parents in Russia; (c) those adopted to the United States from Russian institutions; and (d) those born in the United States and raised by their biological parents-on indicators of cognition, language, and early learning. In addition, we aimed to compar…
Cultural Intelligence and Competencies
Intercultural Competence
We review recent theoretical and empirical developments in the intercultural competencies literature, highlighting contemporary models and empirical research in organizational contexts. We survey the current conceptualizations of intercultural competencies and propose that intercultural competencies can be classified based on traits, attitudes and worldviews, capabilities, or a combination of these dimensions. We identify key psychological, behav…
Sub‐Dimensions of the Four Factor Model of Cultural Intelligence
Cultural intelligence (CQ) – the capability to function effectively in intercultural settings – has gained increasing attention from researchers and practitioners due to its contemporary relevance to globalization, international management, and workforce diversification. Research‐to‐date demonstrates that CQ predicts a variety of important outcomes in intercultural contexts, such as cultural adaptation, expatriate performance, global leadership, …
