The Reakiro Care Model for Persons With a Chronic Death Wish
Reakiro is a walk-in, care and expertise center for persons with severe, chronic psychiatric illness and a persisting death wish, leading to chronic suicidality and/or a euthanasia request. The aim is to introduce the Reakiro model, integrating principles from presence theory, recovery-oriented care, existential therapy, and palliative care, and to describe the population visiting Reakiro ( N = 505). 55.4% had not (or not yet) formally requested …

Applied hybrid single-case experiments published between 2016 and 2020
Single-case experimental designs (SCEDs) are frequently used research designs in psychology, (special) education, and related fields. Hybrid designs are formed by combining two or more of the basic SCED forms (i.e. phase designs, alternation designs, multiple baseline designs, and changing criterion designs). Hybrid designs have the potential to tackle complex research questions and increase internal validity, but relatively little is known about…

Detecting Selection Bias in Meta-Analyses with Multiple Outcomes
This study explores the performance of classical methods for detecting publication bias—namely, Egger’s regression test, Funnel Plot test, Begg’s Rank Correlation and Trim and Fill method—in meta-analysis of studies that report multiple effects. Publication bias, outcome reporting bias, and a combination of these were generated. Egger’s regression test and the Funnel Plot test were extended to three-level models, and possible cutoffs for the esti…

Mixed Methods Single Case Research
Mixed methods single case research (MMSCR) is research in which single case experimental and qualitative case study methodologies, and their accompanying sets of methods and techniques, are integrated to answer research questions that concern a single case. This article discusses the historical roots and the distinct nature of MMSCR, the kinds of knowledge MMSCR produces, its philosophical underpinnings, examples of MMSCR, and the trustworthiness…
Does it matter who your schoolmates are? An investigation of the association between school composition, school processes and mathematics achievement in the early years of primary education
Although many studies have focused on the importance of school composition for student achievement, there is still no consensus on whether school composition matters to student achievement, and, if so, why . Therefore, the present study investigates the association between school composition and mathematics achievement at the end of second grade in Flanders. International research points to the initial ability level, SES , ethnicity and sex compo…

Critical Appraisal of Mixed Methods Studies
In several subdomains of the social, behavioral, health, and human sciences, research questions are increasingly answered through mixed methods studies, combining qualitative and quantitative evidence and research elements. Accordingly, the importance of including those primary mixed methods research articles in systematic reviews grows. It is generally known that the critical appraisal of articles is an essential step in the development of a met…
Is Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Associated With Parenting and Family Factors
The present study investigates the association of parenting and family factors with nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) in preadolescents. A sample of 1,439 preadolescents and their parents were assessed by means of (a) adolescent-reported parenting behaviors (support and behavioral/psychological control), (b) parent-reported parenting behaviors (support and behavioral/psychological control) and parenting stress, and (c) parent-reported family structu…
Associations between parental psychological control and relational aggression in children and adolescents
Youth aggression has been associated with negative parenting practices, but previous research about this association has mainly focused on physical and verbal aggression. Because more subtle forms of aggression are considered at least as harmful as their physical and verbal counterparts, there is a growing scientific interest in parenting practices that are linked with relational aggression. Guided by social learning theory, a link between youth …
An inventory of peer assessment diversity
Since Topping published his literature review on peer assessment in 1998 Topping, K. 1998. Peer assessment between students in colleges and universities. Review of Educational Research, 68: 249–76. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], the number of studies on this subject has doubled, if not tripled. However, along with this expansion, the diversity of peer assessment applications increased equally fast. Based on recent literature, …
Goals of peer assessment and their associated quality concepts
The output of peer assessment in higher education has been investigated increasingly in recent decades. However, this output is evaluated against a variety of quality criteria, resulting in a cluttered picture. This article analyses the different conceptualisations of quality that appear in the literature. Discussions about the most appropriate quality criteria for the output of peer assessment should be brought back to the underlying differences…
Improving the effectiveness of peer feedback for learning
A comparative study of peer and teacher feedback and of various peer feedback forms in a secondary school writing curriculum
This study examines whether peer feedback can be a substitute for teacher feedback and which measures can be taken to improve its effectiveness. A pre‐test post‐test control group design examined the long‐term learning effects of individual peer feedback and of collective teacher feedback on writing assignments in secondary education. Moreover, it examined the added value of a priori question forms and a posteriori reply forms aimed at supporting…
Does switching between strategies within the same task involve a cost
In two experiments, participants had to switch regularly between two cognitive strategies of a different complexity in the context of a numerosity judgement task. Expt 1 comprised bivalent stimuli (i.e. allowing the application of the two strategies), whereas Expt 2 involved univalent stimuli (i.e. allowing the application of only one strategy). Both experiments revealed that switching between strategies entailed a cognitive cost that was reflect…
A longitudinal study of childhood social behaviour
This study examined inter-informant agreement, inter-context agreement, and social preference linkages for social behaviour subtypes. On two occasions, data was collected on 600 children (8-10 years old) via mother, father, teacher, and peer reports. Informant reports converged within each context and agreement across school and home contexts was strong for overt aggression and for prosocial behaviour, but less pronounced for relational aggressio…

Assessing Progress Toward Accreditation Related Objectives
Objective: Assessing the achievement of social work educational outcomes is a requirement of the Council on Social Work Education's Educational Policy and Standards (EPAS). The Evaluation Self-Efficacy Scale (ESE) was created to assess student progress in advanced concentration courses focused on evaluation and thereby provide data regarding attainment of EPAS-related objectives. Method: This social cognitive theory—derived scale was pretested, r…
The Evaluation Self-Efficacy Scale for Assessing Progress Toward CSWE Accreditation—Related Objectives
Objective: The Evaluation Self-Efficacy Scale (ESE) is being developed as an outcomes assessment instrument for social work courses focusing on evaluation. Method: This scale, based on social cognitive theory, was pretested, revised, and then used with a final sample of 85 master's-level students in the original study. Using a single-group, pretest-posttest retrospective design, the current study (N = 111) is a direct replication of the original …
The short‐term and the long‐term effect of primary schools and classes on mathematics and language achievement scores
A considerable body of previous research has demonstrated that differences between schools and classes have an impact on students' learning and acquisition of skills. It is not yet clear, however, whether the effects persist in the longer term. The present study examines the effect of primary schools and classes on language and mathematics achievement over a period of two years after leaving primary education. Considerable short‐term effects of t…

The effect of schools and classes on language achievement
This study addresses the effects of secondary schools and classes on language achievement in Flanders, Belgium. The results of a three‐level analysis (students within classes within schools) indicate that the group composition at the class level is very important. In classes with a high average initial cognitive ability or a large proportion of girls, the language achievement is higher. These compositional effects are discussed with reference to …

Periodic Berth-Year Pattern of the Founders of Quantum Physics
The distribution of birth years of physicists involved in the development of quantum mechanics shows a striking periodicity, with a period of about seven years. Although an obvious explanation of the phenomenon is lacking, a preference of humans to cooperate with persons who differ from their own age by an integral multiple of about 7 years could be a possible mediating mechanism
Cranial suture closing in Homo sapiens
In their classical study on cranial suture closing. Todd and Lyon (1924-25) expressed their belief that suture closure proceeds according to some periodic pattern. Spectral analysis applied to their data corroborates the opinion of Todd and Lyon. Closure of the cranial sutures in humans is pervaded by a circaseptennian periodicity. Pulses of accelerated closure occur at intervals of about 7 years, and are separated by periods of relative quiescen…
Circaseptennian (about 7-Year) Periodicity in the Distribution of Birth Years of Nobel Laureates for Physics
The distribution of birth years for Nobel physicists shows a circaseptennian (about 7-year) periodicity. This observation extends an earlier observation of a circaseptennian pattern in the distribution of birth years for early quantum physicists. In both categories, birth rate tends to maximize in years belonging to the (7n + 4) phase
Periodic Berth-Year Pattern of the Founders of Statistical Sciences
The distribution of the birth-years of 19 founders of statistical sciences, as reported in a recent book on the history of statistics, shows a circaseptennian (approximately 7-year) periodicity. A second sample of 31 statistical pioneers, extracted from the Encyclopedia of Statistical Sciences, supports the first observation. Up to the end of the 19th century, founders of statistical sciences tended to be born in years belonging to the 7 n+2 phas…
Multilevel Meta-Analysis
Multilevel Meta-Analysis
In this article, the authors compare the multilevel meta-analysis approach with the more traditional meta-analytical approaches. After a description and comparison of the under-lying models and some of the major techniques, the results of the multilevel approach are compared with those of the traditional approaches, using a simulation study. The results of the simulation study suggest that the maximum likelihood multilevel approach is in general …
