Heterogeneity in the perceived impact of the Covid ‐19 pandemic on parents with low incomes
Covid-19-induced educational disruptions and children’s executive functioning: A longitudinal cohort study
Literature suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic may have disrupted children's executive functioning (EF) development, but most studies rely on caregiver reports, cross-sectional data, or comparisons across cohorts. We build on the existing literature with repeated, direct assessments of EF from longitudinal pre-post COVID-19 data on a race-ethnically diverse cohort of elementary-aged children ( N = 667) from low-income families. Random-intercept m…
School air pollution and executive functioning development among low-income kindergarteners
The present study examines the associations between toxic industrial air pollution around elementary schools and children's executive functioning (EF) skill development among a racially and ethnically diverse sample of kindergarteners from low-income families in Tulsa, Oklahoma ( N = 763; 50% female; 52% Hispanic/Latinx, 18% Black, 13% White, 10% multiracial, 6% American Indian, 1% Asian American/Pacific Islander). Data on ambient industrial poll…
Start Earlier, Stay Healthier? An Earlier Start to Public Preschool May Improve Detection of Health Problems
The Roles of Student-Teacher Relationship Quality and Classroom Self-Regulatory Supports for Children’s Self-Regulatory Skills in Kindergarten and First Grade
Research Findings: The current study aimed to explore the independent and interactive roles of individual student-teacher relationship quality and classroom-level self-regulatory supports in kindergarten for children's self-regulatory skills in kindergarten and first grade. We did so using multiple measures of children's self-regulation, drawn from multiple sources, and a relatively new measure of classroom-level supports for self-regulation. Our…
Can the sustaining environments hypothesis be sustained? Testing moderation of sustained public preschool benefits by kindergarten classroom quality
Enrolling a rural community pharmacy as a Vaccines for Children provider to increase HPV vaccination: A feasibility study
Findings from the current work demonstrate the potential of this strategy and can serve as a blueprint for statewide and national dissemination and implementation to ultimately increase access to vaccination services, increase vaccination rates, and reduce urban-rural vaccine disparities
Affect as a foundational psychological process for spirituality and empathy
There is growing interest in understanding the manner by which spiritual experiences, religious beliefs and behaviours, and prosocial traits (e.g., empathy, altruism) are related. Research has recently focused on determining those psychological constructs (e.g., affective, behavioural, cognitive) that are common to these related constructs, although the specific relationships remain unclear. The current study evaluated relationships among spiritu…
Evaluation of Reading Recovery in Surrey: A reply to Kathleen Hall
Evaluation of the First British Reading Recovery Programme
This paper provides an evaluation of the progress of the pupils receiving Marie Clay's Reading Recovery Programme in its first year of implementation in the United Kingdom. The study investigates two questions; (1) whether this successful New Zealand programme could work with children in Surrey, UK, and (2) whether English pupils would show accelerated learning. Of pupils entering the programme with very poor reading and writing skills, 96.4% rea…
An Anti-Diet Approach to Weight Loss in a Group Setting
This article describes an approach to weight loss and gain used by the three authors who conduct Anti-Diet groups in Perth, Western Australia. Diets are not prescribed. The authors look at all issues that contribute to a person's over or under eating and assist each person to identify and resolve their issues. Participants in the groups learn how to break their addictive relationship with food and how to get in touch with a natural desire for and…
