More research is needed to identify and compare risk and protective factors associated with adolescent mental health in an international context. This study aimed to explore the association between social determinants and mental health among adolescents across nine countries. Using PISA 2018 cross-sectional data and multilevel modeling, this study investigated how individua…

High-Achieving Rural Youth and Math and Science Talent Development
This study applied Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) to examine factors influencing the academic aspirations of high-achieving sixth and seventh graders ( n = 178) in a Talent Identification and Career Exploration (TICE) program, emphasizing geographical and gender differences. Participants were from rural, micropolitan, and college towns in the Midwest. Hierarchical linear regression explored the role of math and science aptitude, self-effic…
Microaggression Detection in Psychotherapy
Transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) people report experiencing discrimination from therapists. A step to reducing these microaggressions is for therapists to be able to identify them. Psychological trainees and psychologists ( n = 105) were randomly assigned to watch a video vignette therapy session: a session with (a) blatant therapist microaggressions (nonaffirming), (b) therapist-led transition focus (transition affirming), and (c) gender explora…
Educator burnout in the age of Covid-19
Measuring Privileged Identity in Educational Environments
The present study describes the development and validation of an instrument to measure defensive reactions individuals display in difficult dialogues while exploring privileged identities and interacting across difference. The increased focus on difficult dialogues when exploring privileged social identities in educational environments points to a need for the Privileged Identity Exploration Scale (PIE-S). The Privileged Identity Exploration Mode…
The Retention of Educators of Color Amidst Institutionalized Racism
Representing approximately 20% of the workforce, educators of color (EOC) leave the field at a rate 25% higher than their White counterparts. Despite workforce diversification efforts, few studies investigate the psychosocial consequences of navigating racialized school climate as reasons EOC may leave the workforce. This study relies on survey data collected from educators of color (paraprofessionals through superintendents) across the state of …
Nurturing STEM talent in rural setting
Rural schools, especially smaller ones, offer enormous opportunities for teachers to get to know their students and to cultivate their academic talents. However, students with potential in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) face specific obstacles to having their talents fully realized in rural schools. Joni Lakin, Tamra Stambaugh, Lori Ihrig, Duhita Mahatmya, and Susan G. Assouline describe the STEM Excellence and Leadershi…

Encouraging or Obstructing? Assessing Factors That Impact Faculty Engagement in Undergraduate Research Mentoring
At colleges and universities around the world, faculty serve a critical role in supporting the well-documented practice of undergraduate research, scholarly and creative activity. Using unique data from an online survey of faculty members (n = 223) at three colleges and universities in the United States, we investigate the individual and institutional factors that facilitate or inhibit faculty members’ willingness to provide undergraduate student…
Family and Neighborhood Influences on Meeting College Expectations in Emerging Adulthood
This study examined how family socioeconomic status and social emotional climate together with neighborhood affluence predict the probability that college attainment in emerging adulthood (20–26 years old) matched college expectations reported during adolescence. Using three waves of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent and Adult Health ( n = 7,213, 54% female, 53% White, 21% Black, 15% Hispanic, 11% other), results from multil…
The role of race and teachers’ cultural awareness in predicting low-income, Black and Hispanic students’ perceptions of educational attainment
Affective Social Competence and Teacher–child Relationship Quality
This study examined whether race/ethnicity and family income level moderated associations between children's affective social competence and teacher–child relationships among 132 Black, White, and L atino preschoolers. Boys and girls were equally represented in the sample. Of the three racial/ethnic groups, L atino children scored lowest on emotion regulation, were less close to their teachers, and experienced more teacher–child conflict and depe…
DREAMers and their families
Discourse around immigration reform largely centers on economic and national security issues and rarely mentions the well-being of families. This paper applies Family Impact Analysis (FIA) and rhetorical discourse analysis to the congressional hearings, debates, and documents surrounding the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act to examine representations of immigrant families and implications for their well-being. Our a…
