Links Between Child Executive Function and Adjustment
Cross-site comparisons indicate that East Asian children typically excel on tests of executive function (EF), but interpreting this contrast is made difficult by both the heavy reliance on testing in school settings and by the scarcity of studies that assess across-site measurement invariance. Addressing these gaps, our study included remote home-based assessments of EF for 1002 children (Mage = 5.19 years, SD = 0.51; 49% male) from England, Hong…
How Taiwan Succeeded in Containing Its 2021 Covid-19 Outbreak
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), or coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), emerged in December 2019 and has since then progressed into a global pandemic (Lai et al., 2020). However, the Taiwan model helped Taiwan contain the COVID-19 epidemic successfully for more than one year (Wu, 2020). Unexpectedly, sporadic cases began to emerge late April 2021, causing a large-scale COVID-19 outbreak in Taiwan (Kao, Shuhua, et…
Measuring the predictability of life outcomes with a scientific mass collaboration
How predictable are life trajectories? We investigated this question with a scientific mass collaboration using the common task method; 160 teams built predictive models for six life outcomes using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a high-quality birth cohort study. Despite using a rich dataset and applying machine-learning methods optimized for prediction, the best predictions were not very accurate and were only slightly…
Response to the Coronavirus Disease-2019 Pandemic
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), or coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and has since then spurred a global pandemic (Lai et al., 2020). Taiwan and China, separated only by 130 km across the Taiwan Strait, have frequent cross-strait interactions with each other; millions of people travel to and from between the two countries (Wang & Lin, 2020). Considering these facts, Lau…
