Background: This study investigated differences in the clinical and demographic characteristics of individuals with intellectual disabilities delayed in assessment and treatment hospitals versus individuals who were not delayed. The study further investigated the clinical outcomes of the individuals whose discharge from the hospital was delayed.…

Emotional intelligence equips leaders to exercise self-management, self-awareness, social awareness and manage relationships. Furthermore, emotional intelligence skills correlate with various leadership skills. Emotional intelligence supports their ability to develop trusting relationships that inspire others to perform collaboratively. It also…

Quality of life (QoL) has been extensively studied within the field of intellectual disability, with various theoretical frameworks being developed to guide the provision of appropriate supports in daily life. However, the role that self-determination can play in the QoL of adolescents with intellectual disability has received little attention.…

This study aims to determine: i) differences in general intelligence students in the urban, highland, and coastal, ii) scholastic differences students in the urban, highland and coastal, and iii) the relationship of general intelligence and scholastic students urban, highland and coastal. Samples were taken by using purposive sampling techniques…

Recent research has leveraged peer assessment as a grading system tool where learners are involved in learning and evaluation. However, there is limited knowledge regarding individual differences, such as personality, in peer assessment tasks. We analyze how personality factors affect the peer assessment dynamics of a semester-long remote learning…

A plethora of research emphasizes the importance of performance feedback as an adaptive way to improve the outcomes of undergraduate students. However, research on negative performance feedback (i.e. communicating the results of a critical assessment related to student performance) and the potential unintended negative consequences remains…

While interest pursuits are widely recognized as being inherently contextual, what this contextuality entails for different interests has not been explored systematically. In this study, 410 adolescents reported on the temporal, epistemic, material, geographical, social, institutional, and cultural dimensions of 820 interest pursuits. Latent class…

Boredom has a bad reputation in higher education, as many negative outcomes are associated with this experience. But should boredom be avoided at all costs? Could boredom be guided towards more appropriate, even desirable outcomes -- such as creativity? Through making use of concept analyses to investigate current conceptualisations of boredom and…

The importance and the impact of communication in every domain that deals with human resources is undeniable. Yet, as far as the authors' knowledge concerns, the research has been mostly developed in the human resources field. In the project management field, the research developed is still scarce. Yet, some authors emphasise the role of the…

Purpose: Cognitive impairment is one of the most debilitating nonmotor symptoms in Parkinson disease (PD), and its presentation is heterogeneous. One proposed model to explain cognitive variability in PD is the dual-syndrome hypothesis. This hypothesis delineates two cognitive profiles, a "fronto-striatal" profile and a "posterior…

Two experiments explored the search for pairs of faces in a disjunctive dual-target face search (DDTFS) task for unfamiliar face targets. The distinctiveness of the target was manipulated such that both faces were typical or distinctive or contained one typical and one distinctive target. Targets were searched for in arrays of eight faces. In…

This study examined sociodemographic factors that influence parental involvement in children's education among recently resettled refugees in the U.S. Data came from the 2018 Annual Survey of Refugees (ASR). A sample of 1007 refugees aged 16 years or older was analyzed using chi-square tests to obtain the prevalence estimates and multiple logistic…

Technological and therapeutic advances have allowed many children who are born hard-of-hearing (HoH) to start school with age-appropriate spoken language skills, yet many of these children continue to find everyday conversations challenging. This scoping review maps the evidence related to development of conversation and pragmatic skills in…

Increasing integrity concerns in medical research have prompted the development of tools to detect untrustworthy studies. Existing tools primarily assess published aggregate data (AD), though scrutiny of individual participant data (IPD) is often required to detect trustworthiness issues. Thus, we developed the IPD Integrity Tool for detecting…

If our goal in education research is to produce knowledge that is useful and used, we need to design impact evaluations that value understanding variation as much as understanding average impact. The context in which an intervention is implemented and the characteristics of participants are integral components of the intervention, and we need to…
