Pre-service teachers’ relationship skills and beliefs about social-emotional learning
We examined (a) links between pre-service teachers’ relationship skills and beliefs about their future comfort with and commitment to social-emotional learning (SEL), and (b) whether skills and beliefs vary across years of training or gender. A battery of self-report questionnaires was completed by 197 pre-service teachers to examine these variables. Correlation and multiple regression analyses revealed comfort beliefs were related to initiation …
Trauma-Informed School Strategies for SEL and ACE Concerns during Covid-19
The precarious circumstances associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have raised important questions concerning the potential impact on child and adolescent development. For instance, how might this disruption influence social and emotional learning (SEL) and affect adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)? Moreover, what protective practices may be put in place to mitigate risks? The purpose of this critical review is to engage with these questions. R…
The Relationship Between Indirect Aggression and Loneliness for Emerging Adults
The present study investigated the mediating role of interpersonal competence in the relationship between indirect aggression and loneliness for emerging adults. One hundred and sixty-seven Canadian undergraduate students aged 18-25 participated and completed an anonymous, online survey. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the mediating role of interpersonal competence in the relationship between indirect aggression and loneliness. T…
Physical activity and sedentary behavior across three time-points and associations with social skills in early childhood
Screen time was unfavorably associated with social skills across early childhood. Furthermore, all behaviors tracked at moderate to moderate-high levels from toddler to preschool ages. Therefore, promoting healthy physical activity and sedentary behavior patterns early in life, especially for screen time, may be important
Meeting new Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for the Early Years and associations with adiposity among toddlers living in Edmonton, Canada
Most toddlers in this sample were meeting physical activity and sleep recommendations but were engaging in more screen time than recommended. Consequently, only a small proportion of toddlers met the overall guidelines. Based on the findings of this study, identifying modifiable correlates of screen time to inform appropriate strategies to reduce screen time appears key for increasing the proportion of toddlers meeting the 24-Hour Movement Guidel…
Measuring Parent-Child Mutuality
Mutuality is defined as a smooth, back-and-forth positive interaction consisting of mutual enjoyment, cooperation, and responsiveness. The bidirectional nature of mutuality is an essential component to the parent–child relationship since a high quality parent–child mutual relationship is crucial to encouraging children's positive socialization and development (S. Lollis & L. Kuczynski, 1997; E.E. Maccoby, 2007). Several coding systems have been d…
Exploring the Factor Structure of the Revised-Parent as a Social Context Questionnaire
SYNOPSISObjective. This study explored the factor structure and provided evidence of the validity and reliability of the Revised Parents as a Social Context Questionnaire. Design. Online surveys were completed by 404 parents of children ages 2–18 years. An exploratory factor analysis and a second-order factor analysis were conducted to generate six subscales (warmth, rejection, structure, chaos, autonomy support, and coercion) and an overall meas…
Parent–child communication and adolescents' problem-solving strategies in hypothetical bullying situations
The current study investigated (1) the types of solutions that students and parents generate in response to hypothetical bullying situations, (2) the effectiveness of the strategies, and (3) the effectiveness of strategies when considering parent–child communication. Two hundred twenty-five junior high school students and their parents were required to read four short scripts involving hypothetical bullying dilemmas and generate as many solutions…

Age and Gender Differences in Peer Conflict
Differential Validity and Utility of Successive and Simultaneous Approaches to the Development of Equivalent Achievement Tests in French and English
Described in this article are the first three activities of a research program designed to assess the differential validity and utility of successive and simultaneous approaches to the development of equivalent achievement tests in the French and English languages. Two teams of multilingual/multicultural French-English teachers used the simultaneous approach to develop 70 items respectively for mathematics and social studies at the grade 9 level.…
Siblings as Confidants
Associations among (a) self‐disclosures between early adolescent siblings, (b) emotional understanding, and (c) relationship warmth were investigated. Grade 5–6 children (M age = 11.5 years) were interviewed concerning the incidence of disclosures to closest‐in‐age siblings (20 = older, 20 = younger), feelings regarding disclosing (or not), and sibling relationship quality. Warmth was measured with the Sibling Relationship Questionnaire (Furman &…
