In this study, the authors investigated the relation between creativity indicators and three types of questions: open vs. closed ended questions, possibility thinking, and temporal thinking.

Article describes how open-ended verbal creativity assessments are commonly administered in psychological research and in educational practice to elementary-aged children. Authors modeled the predictors of inter-rater disagreement in a large (i.e., 387 elementary school students and 10,449 individual item responses) dataset of children's creativity assessment responses.

Article describes how the Concise Health Risk Tracking Self-Report (CHRT-SR) assesses the risk of suicidal behavior. The authors report its psychometric properties in a representative sample of adolescent outpatients.

Article asserts that number lines can benefit students in learning an array of mathematical concepts. This article demonstrates the versatility of integrating number lines into mathematical interventions involving measurement concepts for students with learning disabilities in mathematics.

Article describes how, in creativity research, ideational flexibility, the ability to generate ideas by shifting between concepts, has long been the focus of investigation. Here, the authors build from extant research to theoretically posit, and then empirically validate, a text-mining based method for measuring flexibility in verbal divergent thinking (DT) responses.

Article asserts that despite the numerous studies on the linguistic environment of early childhood education settings (ECE), most of this work disregards contextual factors that may influence abstract conversations and omits characteristics of children’s verbal participation in these interactions. The authors of the article examine how preschool classroom contexts influenced the abstraction level of children’s conversations and how the context and conversational partners’ language influenced children’s verbal participation.

Article discusses how quality of life and physical activity relate to each other in adults with autism and intellectual disabilities. The authors use Fitbit activity trackers to find connections between physical activity and quality of life of their sample group of autistic adults.

Data management plan for the grant, "Community-viable Family-school Partnership Intervention for Children with Social communication Deficits in Early Childhood Education." Early Childhood Education settings provide a natural and unique access point for addressing children’s unmet needs and barriers to care. The current research uses an established implementation science framework to adapt and implement an evidence-based Family-School Partnership Intervention (FPSI) to prevent developmental delays and barriers to learning among preschoolers with social-communication delays. FSPI is implemented by regular preschool staff and integrates Evidence Based Practices from education (i.e., strategies for establishing reciprocal partnerships with parents; Developmentally Appropriate Practice; National Association for the Education of Young Children) and clinical parent coaching interventions targeting social-communication deficits in toddlers with autism (Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions).

Presentation discussing the disproportionality in special education programs, which is the over or under representation of a specific group or population identified with a disability or placed in special education in comparison to the actual number of students, and it provides some actionable solutions. It was presented at the 11th annual Jalisco-Texas Conference which was held virtually on March 30-31, 2023.

Data management plan for the grant, "Project Communicate." The purpose of Project Communicate is to professionally prepare 27 special education teachers and 10 speech-language pathologists, including scholars from ethnically and racially diverse backgrounds, to be highly-qualified to demonstrate skills in promoting high expectations to improve student outcomes, providing individualized evidence-based practices for students with autism spectrum disorder, and providing culturally and linguistically responsive instruction. Scholars will participate in a master’s degree program in Special Education (Autism Intervention) or Speech-Language Pathology designed to include coursework, integrated and embedded supervised field experiences, and other professional development opportunities for developing knowledge and skills for working with students with ASD in school-based settings.

Article presents a study that demonstrates the application of Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling to existing measures through the investigation of structural validity and generalizability of the Social-Emotional and Character Development Scale with a large sample of children from schools in Belize. Using this newer factor analytic procedure, original factors are reconceptualized to better situate the Social Emotional Character Development Scales into the larger body of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies literature.

Undergraduate thesis studying the relationship between self-esteem and relationship quality in college students, while also investigating the mediational role of perceptions of infidelity on that relation. The study uses three different measures in order to understand college students and the dynamics of their romantic relationships. Results indicate that there are possible associations between self esteem, relationship quality, and perceptions of infidelity.

Sexual knowledge and concerns are part of the multidimensional nature of human sexuality, shaped by sociocultural influences (e.g. religiosity and culture). The relationship between couples’ religiosity and their sexuality education needs is poorly understood. The purpose of the research as a pilot study was to explore premarital individuals’ sexual and reproductive health literacy and sexual concerns, as well as whether religiosity might be able to predict either one of these variables. Using a small sample of dating and engaged couples and individuals (N = 48), bivariate regression analyses, analyses of variance, and a canonical correlation analysis (CCA) were conducted on survey data. Results from the CCA indicated that there may be a complex and negative relationship between one’s religiosity and sexual/reproductive health knowledge, but given the small sample size, the results were statistically insignificant.

This article examines the impact of online and offline interactions for the quality of family relationships.

This article is guided by Lubans et al.'s conceptual framework and examines the longitudinal relationships of physical activity (PA) motivation with leisure-time PA and depressive symptoms among college students over one academic year. The findings suggest sex-specified motivational intervention strategies and PA promotion programs/opportunities are needed to reduce depression symptoms among college students over time.

This article is a systematic review describing a set of practices that have evidence of positive effects with autistic children and youth.
