  • Bridging the gap between students' values and classroom behaviour

    Open AccessAdi Arden, Moti Benita et al.ARTICLEEducational Psychology2026

    Educators strive to instil values in students, as these personal principles are believed to guide children's behaviour.

This study integrated Schwartz's Theory of Basic Personal Values and Self-Determination Theory to explore whether the relationship between students' values and their corresponding classroom behaviours is moderated by the type of motivat…

  • War exposure prior to conception

    Open AccessEmma Bolhuis, Anat Scher et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2024

    Exposure to war is known to impact children’s physical and mental health. Recent research reveals that war exposure might even affect the developmental outcomes of children who are yet to be conceived. In this study, we sought to extend such prior work by investigating longitudinal associations between pre-conception war exposure and the accompanying maternal emotional distress on child sleep. Israeli mothers, who conceived within a year after th…

  • Exposure to War Prior to Conception

    Open AccessRoseriet Beijers, Anat Scher et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Maternal emotional distress following preconception exposure to war forecasts sex-specific child behavioral problems as reported by the mother and the child. Though the results warrant cautious interpretation because of the relatively small sample size and differential attrition, our findings add to the small but growing body of research on the consequences of maternal stress exposure prior to conception for the next generation
