This article is a meta-analysis examining the association of birth order and divergent thinking (DT). The main purpose was to examine how ordinal position (only, first, middle, or last-born) is related to creativity. Results showed that first-borns had higher DT scores than later-born children.

This article assesses the knowledge of novice alternative certification teachers in the area of autism intervention.

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

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.

This article formulates a within-subject Bayesian rate ratio effect size (BRR) for autocorrelated count data that would obviate the need for small sample corrections. The authors illustrate this within-subject effect size using real data for an ABAB design and provide codes for practitioners who may want to compute BRR.

This article compares two simulation-driven approaches: Bayesian unknown change-point model (BUCP) and simulation modeling analysis (SMA) for three real datasets that exhibit “clear” immediacy, “unclear” immediacy, and delayed effects. In the final analysis, it is recommended that both visual and statistical analyses be conducted for a thorough analysis of SCEDs.

This poster discusses an experiential learning activity for the UNT course DFST 3123 Child Development. The goal of the activity is to support student information-seeking and information-processing skills and guide students as they gain skills in identifying, understanding, and applying evidence-based research findings to child development.

This article explores the relationship between intimate Domestic Violence and Parental Stress in Mexican women.

Article describes study which investigated interpersonal skills associated with the concept of behavioral artistry (BA), a repertoire of practitioner behaviors including care, attentiveness, and creativity, among others, associated with the effective delivery of applied behavior analysis (ABA) treatment.

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.

This article uses simulation studies to examine the impact of ignoring a higher nesting structure in multilevel mixture models.

Article discussing a growth mixture model and differential growth trajectories for achievement among children retained in first grade.

This article investigates whether the correct number of classes can still be retrieved when a higher level of nesting in multilevel growth mixture model (MGMM) is ignored.

This article analyzes the relationship between partner violence, depression and maternal self-efficacy in migrant women.

This article explores student perceptions of their own doctoral-level education and quantitative proficiency.

Article describes study which sought to determine whether scores on the Statistical Anxiety Scale (SAS) manifest in the same way for students in online and traditional statistics courses.

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.

This article investigates the measurement invariance of a classroom engagement measure across time points, genders, and ethnicities using a sample of 523 academically at-risk students across grades 7 through 9.

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 reviews several common areas of focus in quantitative methods with the hope of providing guidance on conducting and reporting quantitative analyses. The review addresses causal inferences, measurement issues, handling missing data, testing for assumptions, dealing with nested data, and providing evidence for outcomes.

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.

This article uses a reliability generalization meta-analysis to explore the relationship between study factors and levels of alpha reliability for the 15 subscales of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ).

Correction to the article "Evidence-Based Practices for Children, Youth, and Young Adults with Autism: Third Generation Review." The original article can be found online at https://doi.org/10.1007/ s10803-020-04844-2.Autism Spectrum Disorder

This article is a systematic review describing a set of practices that have evidence of positive effects with autistic children and youth. It is the third iteration of a review of the intervention literature (Odom et al. in J Autism Dev Disorders 40(4):425–436, 2010a; Prevent School Fail 54(4):275–282, 2010b; Wong et al. in https://autismpdc.fpg.unc.edu/sites/autismpdc.fpg.unc.edu/files/imce/documents/2014-EBP-Report.pdf; J Autism Dev Disorders 45(7):1951–1966, 2015), extending coverage to articles published between 1990 and 2017.
