Using large-language models to analyse social media engagement with the public sector communication on circular economy
This study examines how public sector communication on circular economy (CE) initiatives influences social media engagement by analysing message elaboration, emotional tone (positive, negative, neutral), and message purpose (educational, advocacy, and policy-oriented). Grounded in the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM), we collected over 20,000 X (formerly Twitter) posts from 2015 to 2024 using Apify and classified them through zero-shot Large La…
How Important are Carer Tasks in Determining Carer Quality of Life? Evidence from a Shapley Decomposition Approach
While there is a large literature that examines the determinants of carer quality of life, there is a dearth of research that focuses on the usual activities that carers perform and how they are related to carer-specific measures of quality of life. We use data from the Survey of Adult Carers in England to investigate the role that the tasks that carers perform play in determining carer quality of life. We model the relationship between the varia…
Do carer tasks predict carer employment? Evidence from the Survey of Adult Carers in England
Due to the large number of unpaid carers in England, there is an extensive body of research which examines the determinants of carers' employment. Despite this, little is known about the relationship between the specific tasks that carers perform and their labour supply. Using data from the Survey of Adult Carers in England, we examine the relationship between carer tasks and carer employment outcomes. We find that carers who perform tasks that a…
Evaluation of an early discharge from hospital scheme focussing on patients’ housing needs
This study calculated a return on investment of an early discharge from hospital scheme focussing on improved responses to patients' housing needs. The study identified critical success factors of the scheme that will inform potential spread of the intervention to other localities. Financial return on investment based on service costs and benefits were calculated and the critical success factors were identified through interviews with key stakeho…
Self-Efficacy, Self-Evaluation, and Music Performance of Secondary-Level Band Students
In the present study, relationships between two components of self-regulation (self-efficacy and self-evaluation) and gender, school level, instrument family, and music performance were examined. Participants were 340 middle and high school band students who participated in one of two summer music camps or who were members of a private middle school band program. Students indicated their level of self-efficacy for playing a musical excerpt before…
The Teaching of Instrumental Music
This book introduces music education majors to basic instrumental pedagogy for the instruments and ensembles most commonly found in the elementary and secondary curricula. This text focuses on the core competencies required for teacher certification in instrumental music. The first section of the book focuses on essential issues for a successful instrumental program: objectives, assessment and evaluation, motivation, administrative tasks, and rec…
The Impact of Self-Evaluation Instruction on Student Self-Evaluation, Music Performance, and Self-Evaluation Accuracy
The author sought to determine whether self-evaluation instruction had an impact on student self-evaluation, music performance, and self-evaluation accuracy of music performance among middle school instrumentalists. Participants ( N = 211) were students at a private middle school located in a metropolitan area of a mid-Atlantic state. Students in intact classes, grades 5 through 8, were assigned to one of three treatment groups: self-evaluation i…
Influence of Primary Performance Instrument and Education Level on Music Performance Evaluation
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact that education level and primary performance instrument have on the evaluation of music performances. Participants (N = 423) in the study were middle school (n = 187), high school (n = 113), and college (n = 123) musicians who performed on either a brass (n = 115) or a nonbrass (n = 301) instrument. They listened to six junior high trumpet performances by players of various abilities. Results in…
Self-Evaluation Accuracy among High School and Middle School Instrumentalists
The purposes of this study were to examine (a) whether grade-level differences exist on self-evaluation tendencies over time, (b) if grade-level differences and evaluator differences exist, alone and in combination, on music performance evaluation, (c) if relationships exist between student self-evaluation and expert evaluations of music performance by grade level, and (d) whether differences exist between grade level and music performance subare…
The Influence of Teaching-Career Level and Primary Performance Instrument on the Assessment of Music Performance

Self-Evaluation Tendencies of Junior High Instrumentalists
The purpose of the current study was threefold: (a) to determine the nature of junior high school instrumental music students' self evaluation tendencies over time, (b) to examine whether the process of self evaluation, with or without the use of a model, has an effect on self-evaluation accuracy, and (c) to determine if a relationship exists between self evaluation accuracy and music performance achievement. Forty-one junior high woodwind (h = 2…
The Effects of Modeling, Self-Evaluation, and Self-Listening on Junior High Instrumentalists' Music Performance and Practice Attitude
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects that modeling, self-evaluation, and self-listening have on junior high school instrumentalists' music performance and attitude about practice. The pretest/posttest 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design involved a total of 82 woodwind, brass, and percussion students in the seventh (n = 36), eighth (n = 31), or ninth grade (n = 15). Data indicated that participants who listened to a model during sel…
