Statistical learning (SL), the ability to detect and extract regularities from inputs, has been considered as an early-maturing and domain-general mechanism that is critical for typical language development. However, recent evidence in neurotypical adults and children have found that individuals can vary in their SL abilities across linguistic and…

Objectives: This review examines the sexual development of young men through a precarious manhood framework. The teenage and emerging adulthood years are a time of change and uncertainty for many boys and young men, heightening concerns about manhood. They are also a time when boys and young men are learning about and experimenting with sex. Sex…

Definitions of adulthood for people with intellectual disability are often complicated, with milestones being markedly different for this population. This is then associated with difficulties for both the people with intellectual disability and their parents, who are closely involved in this transitional period. This paper aims to report on…

The Church of England's vision for education is generous and seeks to allow the riches of Christian life to overflow throughout schools. The vision is captured by the strapline 'Deeply Christian, serving the common good'. The present study assesses the contribution made to service this vision by the 43 Anglican cathedrals within England and the…

To address the great challenges facing humanity, humans need to feel united as inhabitants of the Earth, to feel that their future is tied to the future of all living beings, and that the universe contains all levels and all relationships that encompass its parts. To achieve this requires widening knowledge of the interconnection and…

Cultural comparisons suggest that an understanding of other minds may develop sooner in independent versus interdependent settings, and vice versa for inhibitory control. From a western lens, this pattern might be considered paradoxical, since there is a robust positive relationship between theory of mind (ToM) and inhibitory control in western…

The purpose of this study was to create a theory about how college students cope with stress. This study used classic grounded theory to develop the theory of discovering adulthood, which is grounded in the data. Classic grounded theory was chosen because it allows the subject matter to be approached without preconception. The nature of classic…

This article critically discusses the concept of future-ready learning by drawing on the educational thought of Confucius as recorded in the "Analects." Two main arguments are made in this paper. First, Confucius views future-readiness as the preparedness to broaden "dao" (Way), which is a vision of human excellence. Secondly,…

For many young Muslim learners in Western societies, informal sites of Islamic education are important sources of learning and development beyond public school hours. Yet little empirical research has explored processes of human development in such sites, and existing theories of human development have largely failed to encompass onto-epistemic…

In the current K-12 educational system, there is a lack of mentoring programs for novice principals, and as a result, a substantial number of principals are not well prepared to do the complicated job of a principal. The nation's report card shows how United States students have regressed in reading and math and which states experienced the most…

The purpose of this qualitative narrative research was to explore employees' experiences of being inspired, motivated, and mentored by transformational leaders in Christian higher education institutions in Ghana. From the employees' perspective, outcomes achieved from such interactions were examined, as aligned with current theories of…

Despite research examining why teachers leave at such high rates, the intractable problem of attrition persists. Recently, teacher preparation programs have reported lower enrollment trends, and K-12 schools have reported higher attrition rates. Considering that one critical component of the problem is retention, more work is necessary to explore…

Finding a conceptually informed and substantive means of understanding the value of higher education (HE) remains a challenging but crucial issue in the context of continued market-orientated policies. This article offers a way forward and posits that formal approaches to measuring the value of HE can only have currency if engaging in longer-term…

In an appeal to establish transformative learning's (TL) boundaries, Kegan (2000) implored researchers to identify "what from transforms?" As a social psychologist, I am particularly drawn to theorists who identify the self as the form that transforms; however, I argue that a model of the self that specifies how it is represented in…

This longitudinal study builds on an earlier study of college men's gender identity development (Edwards & Jones, 2009). The findings from the 5- and 10-year follow-up interviews affirm the grounded theory of the original study. The longitudinal aspects of the study also illuminate how men navigated their gender performance and the different…
