Causal effects of social media use on self-esteem, mindfulness, sleep and emotional well-being
Introduction: The question whether social media use (SMU) has a causal influence on mental health sparks a lot of interest. Empirical research to date shows no consensus on the causal effects of SMU on mental well-being. Therefore, the present study assessed if experimentally implemented restrictions in SMU led to improvements in well-being outcomes using a combination of self-report and passive sensing data. Methods: = 32) condition. Participant…
Predicting clusters of physical activity based on individual characteristics
Objective: Planning can help bridge the physical activity intention behaviour gap, but creating plans has proven burdensome for individuals. Personalised plan recommendations can alleviate this burden and improve plan quality. This study aimed to identify clusters of physical activities and predict these clusters based on static and dynamic person variables to identify relevant variables for personalising recommendations. Design: In a 14-day ecol…
Racialized disparities in pain and pain care among Belgian youth
These findings suggest that racialized disparities in pain and pain care exist among youth living in Belgium. However, given the relatively small sample size, the results should be interpreted with caution. Additional research on racialized disparities in pain and pain care among youth using larger and more diverse samples is warranted

A Tool for Assessing the Quality of Life of Adolescents in Youth Care
Quality of life (QOL) has gained increased interest as a critical pathway to better understanding the lives and circumstances of children and adolescents in both the general population and among specific populations. Yet, QOL assessment among youngsters in youth care services remains a highly under-researched topic. This study examines the suitability and psychometric properties of a new QOL self-report scale for adolescents between 12 and 18 yea…
Text Mining to Alleviate the Cold-Start Problem of Adaptive Comparative Judgments
Comparative judgments permit the assessment of open-ended student works by constructing a latent quality scale through repeated pairwise comparisons (i.e., which works “win” or “lose”). Adaptive comparative judgments speed up the judgment process by maximizing the Fisher information of the next comparison. However, at the start of a judgment process, such an adaptive algorithm will not perform well. In order to reliably approximate the Fisher Inf…
Item order and speededness
A common approach to increase test security in higher educational high-stakes testing is the use of different test forms with identical items but different item orders. The effects of such varied item orders are relatively well studied, but findings have generally been mixed. When multiple test forms with different item orders are used, we argue that the moderating role of speededness on item order effects cannot be neglected as missing responses…
The effect of adaptivity in digital learning technologies. Modelling learning efficiency using data from an educational game
During the last decade, many governments and ed‐tech companies have demonstrated an increased interest in digital personalised learning, which resulted in a variety of often game‐like adaptive learning environments. However, there has been limited attention for the impact of these personalised learning technologies on children's learning efficiency. Does digital personalised learning, like popular claims insist, foster learning in young children?…
