psychological and emotional impacts of bullying on children
I need the Tunisian version of the Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI) for my master dissertation can anyone help please?
good day, I am conducting research on media images of (public) social welfare and media reporting of social workers.
Can I ask for links to articles and studies what the media image of social welfare is in other countries?
Is it worse in the opinion of aid workers than in reality?
In Poland, the prevailing perception among social workers is that their media image is unambiguously negative (e.g. helping freeloaders, wrongfully taking children away from their families, lack of help and abandonment), and the media mainly cover this topic in the context of crisis situations.
However, my research (content analysis) shows that the media image of social welfare is more complex and highly polarised. Aid institutions, on the other hand, strongly neglect public relations issues
Poverty is generally a source of material difficulties. It causes communication difficulties between partners and children. Can it be considered the main source of violence by parents against their offspring?
We are looking for a "fast" (màx. 1 hour) diagnostic tool for mental health disorders in children and adolescence. We are developing a project with children and adolescences from several hospitals and we need a unique, valid, easy and fast tool to make a diagnosis (following DSM-V or ICD10). Which is the most used tool in research? Can anyone help us? Many thanks in advance.
I work in a school with a large ASD population. While pursuing my master's at KU in special education with an emphasis on autism, I am learning a lot about what would be considered best practice. In my current position as a teacher, I try and bring this information to my job and I am getting a lot of pushback from colleagues because they do not understand why autism is much more prevalent now than when they were younger and some believe we are over-identifying children. My question is: how do I share information that is in the best interest of my students with people who may not be receptive?
CONTEXT: Achieving the 2030 UN agenda for SDGs requires integrated, citizen-centric approaches and holistic interventions for delivering transformative results on the social, economic, and environmental dimensions. Current initiatives in many emerging markets are slow and face adoption and scalability challenges at a local and systemic level due to lack of in-depth understanding and prioritization of complex issues, many of which relate to each other, like the SDGs. A good starting point is to take a human-centric approach starting with developing deeper empathy with citizens to visualize and design a future for the citizens of the country. But who better to share authentic insights and see a better future than those who will live it – CHILDREN.
Within many cultural contexts it is recognized that drawing techniques can provide a relatively easy way to gather personal and socio-cultural information, both from and about children, as well as offer valuable insights into children’s experiences, ideas, feelings and environmental perceptions. Childhood and children are now seen as worthy of investigation in their own right. Much recent studies has emphasized the importance of listening to children’s perspectives on issues that are important and relevant for them. The advantage of using drawing is that this is self-reported data.
These drawings can be used to explore the world they live in, and therefore understand the social, economic and environmental issues at the local level. Art activities provide a psychologically safe and creative way for children to express their strongest desires in a visual form without relying on words or the need to know a language for expression.
ASK: I am looking to conduct a literature review on visualization, image interpretation and content analysis techniques for issue identification in the drawings and artworks of children. In addition, I am, therefore, seeking projects are worthy of mention based on their quality of work and potential to scale in the aforementioned areas. A good example is Room 13 that started in Scotland and Project Dream On India - that captured 10,000+ artworks of children from pan India including Jammu and Kashmir.
Would appreciate your references, thoughts, ideas et al.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Is it parents' responsibility to inform their children's teachers about their children's health condition (Dyslexia or anxiety disorder) or do teachers have to identify and address the students' status?
I have an EFL student who has difficulties in reading texts at a normal speed in the classroom, comprehension, and memory. I have been doing reading research since October 2023. I want to gain good knowledge about dyslexia and strategies for teaching English to dyslexic students or students with other mental health disorders.
However, as I am not an educational psychologist or clinical psychologist, I still cannot decide whether the student is dyslexic or not. I want to indicate that I have taught him a good way to overcome his problem of reading a long text. Last week, he informed me it was helpful. Meanwhile, I am still concerned about how he can improve his comprehension and memory.
It is crucial to mention that parents should be aware of their children's health conditions and overall well-being. Also, they must share that information with their children's teachers so that teachers can provide appropriate support to help students succeed in the classroom.
I've worked with several children in classroom settings who have trauma backgrounds, and they're academically average or above average. They present ADHD, but because they don't have IEP's, they're treated like "bad behavior" children. Very curious about how PTSD fits into SPED.
Dear colleagues. I would like to make a big request from you. Do you know of any questionnaire on sociocultural differences in children in early adolescence? It is that we are preparing research on bullying with colleagues from Slovakia and Georgia (Asia). I am currently in Georgia and I have noticed significant differences in the behaviour of Georgian children compared to our Czech children. However, I do not know if this is just my impression. Thank you very much for any helpful ideas.
I want to study animal models of neonatal HIE, how old should preterm and term newborns be in mice?
In South Asia, the middle class grapples with a formidable challenge: navigating the financial strains imposed by an inflationary environment while safeguarding the well-being of their children. As prices surge and the cost of living escalates, families find themselves squeezed between aspirations for a better future and the harsh realities of economic instability. This delicate balancing act not only affects the financial stability of households but also casts a shadow over the future prospects of the younger generation. From access to quality education and healthcare to ensuring adequate nutrition and overall well-being, the impact of inflation on children within middle-class families is profound and far-reaching. Despite their resilience and resourcefulness, middle-class families in South Asia face an uphill battle against rising prices and stagnant incomes. The inflationary pressures exacerbate existing financial burdens, forcing families to make tough choices and sacrifices, often at the expense of their children's opportunities and happiness. Against this backdrop, understanding the nuanced dynamics of middle-class financial pressures in South Asia and their toll on children is crucial. It sheds light on the complex interplay between economic factors and social outcomes, prompting a deeper exploration of policy interventions, community support systems, and grassroots initiatives aimed at alleviating the burdens faced by families and ensuring a brighter future for the region's youth.
Greetings,
I am trying to make sense of the design for my Master's thesis. I am looking at the relationship between types of play and anxiety in children. My independent variables are three types of play (continuous, two measured in hours and one on a Likert scale), and my dependant variable is a score on anxiety scale. I also want to look at three potential confounders which are continuous as well. What would be the best way to figure out the 'pure' relationships between my three IVs of interest and DV while accounting for the confounders effect? Will I be able to do that by running a multiple regression with 5 IVs? Or would it be better to divide my confounders into subcategories and look at the relationships between my IVs and DV across the different levels of confounders? Since there are two of them with three levels each, that seems like an overcomplicated design. Please advise which approach to take. Thanks!
Congenital heart disease (CHD) significantly impacts anesthesia management in pediatric patients due to the complex interplay between cardiac physiology, surgical interventions, and anesthetic drugs. Anesthesia for children with CHD requires a comprehensive understanding of the underlying cardiac anatomy and physiology, as well as careful perioperative planning to optimize outcomes and minimize risks.
Preoperative fasting in pediatric patients is essential to reduce the risk of pulmonary aspiration during anesthesia induction. However, it's crucial to balance the need for fasting with the risk of dehydration and hypoglycemia, especially in infants and young children.
I'm conducting descriptive research to look into the relationship between parent-child sleeping arrangements and children's attachment styles. The questionnaires will, of course, be filled out by the parents, but I intend to evaluate this issue without using experimental methods such as the strange situation procedure and with only a set of questionnaires. Do you have any knowledge of such a questionnaire? Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Has anyone used (or attempted to use) a touch-monitor or a touch-screen-laptop for the recording of behavioral responses in an eye-tracking experiment with young children?
This would be ideal since young children cannot use a mouse or a keyboard. However, I am worried about the technical setup, e.g., the distance of the eye-tracker (50+ cm) vs the length of a child's arm (21-22 cm).
Any advice or experience is welcome! Thank you

A dataset urgently needed for EEG signals in children with autism
hi, i'm currently writing my psychology dissertation where i am investigating "how child-oriented perfectionism relates to behavioural intentions and attitudes towards children in a chaotic versus calm virtual reality environment".
therefore i have 3 predictor variables/independent variables: calm environment, chaotic environment and child-oriented perfectionism
my outcome/dependent variables are: behavioural intentions and attitudes towards children.
my hypotheses are:
- participants will have more negative behavioural intentions and attitudes towards children in the chaotic environment than in the calm environment.
- these differences (highlighted above) will be magnified in participants high in child-oriented perfectionism compared to participants low in child oriented perfectionism.
i used a questionnaire measuring child-oriented perfectionism which will calculate a score. then participants watched the calm environment video and then answered the behavioural intentions and attitudes towards children questionnaires in relation to the children shown in the calm environment video. participants then watched the chaotic environment video and then answered the behavioural intentions and attitudes towards children questionnaire in relation to the children in the chaotic environment video.
i am unsure whether to use a multiple linear regression or repeated measures anova with a continuous moderator (child-oriented perfectionism) to answer my research question and hypotheses. please please can someone help!
Is there a version of the WHO-5 questionnaire where parents rate their child's well-being? I know that the WHO-5 can be used for children as young as 9 years old.
But, I need to know if there is a version for parents.
Hope one of you talented researchers can help me.
what caregiving styles there are and their quality, associating it with the impact of care in pediatric cancer, that is, in children.
I’ve been reading about applications on the cognitive developmental delay in children born during the COVID pandemic. My child’s case is delayed speech in terms of expected milestones, as in forming 2 or more words-sentences, while the behaviour and motor skills are meeting expectations. Some of my colleagues face the similar description for theirnown offspring, yet had their kids “diagnosed“ as ”ADHD“, ”behavioural issues“, as well as ”Autism spectrum”. Fearing that we are facing the same “Hasty diagnosis outbreak” as in our attempts to “understand and resolve COVID” by March 2020, and before anyone offer giving my child Choloroquin, could you share some input?
Taking into account the available technological solutions and applications offered by ICT service providers, as well as the growing scale of psychological problems of children using smartphones and online social media, the following question arises that is relevant today: How to effectively organize parental control of what a child does in the aforementioned social media?
Children and adolescents represent the youngest generations using online social media. The youth currently attending schools and studying in universities are mainly the so-called Generation Z, who grew up with smartphones equipped with Internet access, including online social media. Today, the children and young people of Generation Z are thus at the greatest risk of being negatively influenced by online social media, including various types of misinformation, fake news, misleading unreliable offers of advertised products and services, influencers and youtubers promoting themselves, etc., which are increasingly appearing in them. In addition, there are many untrustworthy offers of products and services in social media, offers presented by influencers and youtubers, offers presented as part of advertising campaigns conducted in these media, offers promoted through spots, animations and advertising videos, in which generative artificial intelligence technology is increasingly used. It is increasingly common for advertising companies to create AI-generated influencer avatars based on intelligent chatbots for their online advertising campaigns. AI-generated fictional influencer personas look, speak and behave like real people in videos posted on social media. Internet users watching these digital influencers often don't realize that they are watching not real people but digitally generated non-sisterly real characters. In addition, in recent years there has been a growing scale of hate speech most often generated by peers from class, school. The developing hejt was the reason for the increasing scale of child and adolescent suicides in some countries in recent years. In addition, many people, especially young girls, have psychological problems due to a sense of low self-worth and self-esteem which is related to spending a lot of time on online social media and watching influencers promoting certain sublime standards, what is in a certain subculture of youth recognized and promoted as informal canons of beauty, attitudes, possession of certain material goods, etc. In addition, such psychological problems were exacerbated during the Covid-19 pandemic, which was associated with locdowns imposed in some countries on selected sectors of the economy, bans on being in certain types of public places, periodically introduced national quarantines and education conducted remotely in the form of e-learning. In some countries, the scale of such bans and restrictions, which were intended to slow down the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus, was exceptionally large. This was the case, for example, in the country where I operate. Unfortunately, the mortality rate of citizens during the Covid-19 pandemic in Poland, despite the large-scale introduction of the aforementioned anti-pandemic bans and restrictions, was exceptionally high. Besides, the mentioned anti-pandemic bans and restrictions were introduced without adequate public consultation, on the basis of special legal regulations in the form of laws and ordinances, with the bases of prior research and analysis of the potential negative effects of such controversial measures. At present, in 2024, it is known that in the country in which I operate the negative effects of the aforementioned introduced on a record large scale so-called anti-pandemic measures, including bans, lockdown-type restrictions, periods of national quarantine were much more in comparison with the expected but not realized positive effects. In view of the above, taking into account the available technological solutions and applications offered by ICT service providers, as well as the growing scale of psychological problems of children using smartphones and online social media, it is necessary to improve the computerized systems and applications running on smartphones that enable effectively conducted parental control of what a child does on the aforementioned social media. On the other hand, citizens should influence politicians, and politicians should influence the technology companies that run online social media, so that these companies also take much greater care of the safety of children and young people using these media. The aforementioned technology companies should not treat children and young people merely as potential customers for product and service offers presented during advertising campaigns conducted on social media. The technology companies running these media should not create algorithms that promote posts, posts, comments, banners, animations, videos, etc. that contain negative and socially harmful content. That this is how this kind of media works was proven during the Senate committee hearings of former managers who previously worked at Meta, for example, and developed certain solutions within Facebook and Instagram. TokTok has also grown rapidly in recent years, which also features many examples of disinformation, factoids, posts, memes, entries, banners, videos, etc., containing unreliable and factually incorrect content, as well as many advertisements presenting various product and service offers aimed mainly at children and young people.
I have described the key issues of the determinants of the development of social media with attention to the issue of cyber security and the technologies used Industry 4.0 in my article below:
The postpandemic reality and the security of information technologies ICT, Big Data, Industry 4.0, social media portals and the Internet
I described the key issues of opportunities and threats to the development of artificial intelligence technologies in my article below:
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS AND THE NEED FOR NORMATIVE REGULATION OF THIS DEVELOPMENT
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Considering the available technological solutions and applications offered by ICT service providers and the growing scale of psychological problems of children using smartphones and online social media, the following question arises that is relevant now: How to effectively organize parental control of what a child does in the mentioned social media?
How do you effectively organize parental control of what a child does on online social media, what he reads, what he writes about, what he browses, etc.?
And what is your opinion about it?
What is your opinion on this issue?
Please answer,
I invite everyone to join the discussion,
Thank you very much,
Thank you,

According to the UN report 0n 23 October, fatalities and causalities in the occupied Palestine have exceeded 5,087 and 15,273 since 7 October. Women and children represent more than 62% of the fatalities. More than 600,000 internally displaced are sheltering in 150 facilities of the Palestine refugee agency UNRWA. Nearly 420,000 are seeking refuge in 93 of the agency's shelters in Middle, Khan Younis and Rafah areas, further to the south - that's an increase of around 14,000 civilians in the past 24 hours.
This is a forum for scientists. We do not bring precious metals or products ourselves.
Our work results should benefit the people of the country. In this case, we must protect the people of the country from and reduce material losses in the event of earthquakes and related disasters.
You see that we can do this. But for this, it is necessary for the state leadership to know that a method has been created and successfully tested that will provide protection with a timely and accurate forecast.
( Place, time, force with an advance of hours, tens of hours...)
If we do this, then we can unite and a single global network of short-term forecasts will save the lives of us and our children.
Nowadays, climate change on the planet is causing worsening catastrophes. The number of victims of one earthquake exceeds the number of victims of local wars. Ahead - worsening weather and more casualties.
Which seismologists are ready to inform the state and participate in the Center for the Global Forecast Network?
Is your state ready to take the lead in implementing proven techniques? You understand that the "first" becomes the owner of the patents. The first one will have maximum knowledge and maximum capabilities, this is a guarantee. One of the most important factors: reliability is about 100%. There are no other methods that provide such accuracy and reliability.
Is it interesting for you? Or are you interested in talking and continuing to do your own thing? People's lives don't concern you?
I am looking for a questionnaire or other tools to use it for determining the types of play in children (classified by Piaget), is there anything that can help me with that?
Who agrees humans reproducing human children with robots would be for the common good? Elaborations welcome.
Kenneth N. Waltz in his book „Man, the State and War” pointed out three types of reasons that may lead to war. 1. Reasons that refer to human behavior; 2. Reasons that refer to the state structure; 3. Reasons that refer to international relations.
The question is: Given the first type of reasons, i.e. those relating to human behaviors, how can these behaviors be changed so that there is no war?
Gordon Allport proposed that the entrance to the UN (Security Council) be designed so that delegates going to the meeting pass through a glass playground with children. This sight would give them pause for thought and for smart decisions.
What are the other ways of influencing the behavior of world leaders?
"How does the parenting style and involvement of parents influence the reading comprehension abilities of learners, and what specific practices or strategies can parents adopt to foster a positive impact on their children's reading comprehension skills?"
Your answer will greatly help me in my studies
Thank you.
Women and children represent more than 62% of the fatalities caused by the Israeli attacks in Palestine. Are not the children of Palestine like children in other parts of the world?1 Do not they have the right to live? Is not illegal to launch non-discriminant attacks that harvest the lives of those children every minute? Isn’t cruel to prevent food and medical supplies to reach those helpless and needy who can not really harm a fly?
Are the statements, in this description, politically correct? How? Why?
I admit that my goal to reproduce my biological human children with a robot acting as a birther, is bizarre yet, I want to conserve my own autonomy as much as possible and not have to deal with the whims of another person that could take my money and or abort my biological children.
What to do in groups with children of different age range to make them easier to adapt?

I am curious about which statistical method should be used to deal with the relationship between the number of teachers talking in class in different kindergarten classes and children's language ability.
We have collected the number of words spoken by teachers in 5 different classes, and the vocabulary of 35 young children, with an average of 3-7 students per class. Which statistical method can compare different children's vocabularies will be affected by the number of words spoken by different teachers.
Physical activity/exercise or sports participation is important for growing children because of it helps to develop physically, mentally, and socially. Today world, physical inactivity is fourth leading cause of death in all age groups. Therefore, it is important to increase children's physical activity in effective ways.
This can be development holistically or in a specific area for children of any age.
From working in early years, I can identify music isn't very present in the curriculum and I think it should be! Just looking to gather some opinions from others :)
How to make children more motivated for lessons?
Dear fellow researchers, I have just started my new ethnographic research project in a classroom in the German-speaking part of Switzerland in Year 1. One current focus is on the issue how teachers and children deal with language heterogeneity in German lessons (most children are multilingual with different levels of competence in German and there is the diglossia Standard German-Swiss German, teachers and children speaking Swiss German to different extents). I would be very grateful for advice on international studies (and also ongoing research) on similar subjects.
Many thanks in advance! Evamaria Zettl
War generally brings untold hardships for society's most vulnerable- women and children.
Hardship for women and children anywhere is hardship everywhere.
through education, children have the opportunity to acquire different ,skills and capacities( i.e, intellectual, socio-emotional, physical etc.) that support their development towards becoming functional individuals who can contribute meaningfully to society( Hahn& Truman, 2015; Macur,2020)
For example, through a tendency towards less consistent response behavior that cannot be attributed to the consistency of the scale?
Dear colleagues;
I hope that you're in good health. Due to the fact that we represent a main category in the world, I'd like to discuss with you an important humanitarian issue called "Palestine", The discussion is summarised in just this question:
Why are so many children being killed in Gaza and the whole world in silence?
I know that we have the biggest feature, which is humanity, because researchers without this feature will become monstrous, not human. Therefore, I'd like to ask every researcher in which world place they share with me this issue, which concerns all of humanity as a whole, and everyone who has a compassionate heart for the children who were buried in large numbers under the land of Gaza. Everyone who has a clear mind should think about why we remain silent, and at the moment when we are trying to publish a scientific article, there are laboratories, hospitals, and peaceful places being destroyed without pity or mercy.
I am waiting for your discussion to support this cause based on the spirit of humanity.
Thanks
I want to know how we can teach life skills to preschool children with special needs in African children.
Thanks.
In checking for child malnutrition in a household, if there is more than one child, some are malnourished while others are not and we want to check the resilience capacity of the household, how do we classify the household, malnourished or not? and this is to check transition from one state to another between years.
Many researchers have documented the complexities of neuronal connection and the spectrum of clinical features, autistic children could present with. However, the individualized interventional measures that when applied early, could help these children have a better quality of life is rarely discussed.
What can we do differently to enable better outcomes in these children?
Hi,
I need more literature on drawing research specifically for children's learning.
My main research direction is conceptual learning in children, so I am particularly concerned about whether drawing analysis can help understand children's learning. Due to the coverage limit of the exam questions, traditional paper and pencil tests often easy to loss some key information which not in questionnaire. However, children's drawings can provide a panoramic view of the learning process, which helps to solve this problem. In fact, our research is also based on this point. Currently, we published a preprint about this topic (https://psyarxiv.com/umxfb/). But it is very incomplete, so we are eagerly searching for more relevant literature to enrich our research. Unfortunately, at present, drawing analysis is more often applied to emotional and social analysis (such as whether children are discriminated against in school), and research directed towards learning seems difficult to find.
I know Frontiers in Psychology has a topic that specializes in the study of children's drawing psychology (https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/24933/childrens-drawings-evidence-based-research-and-practice#articles), and I really enjoy reading articles under this topic. But as mentioned earlier, most of the papers still focus on studying children's social psychology (such as bullying) through children's paintings, with very little focus on learning science /psychology. So I sincerely request MORE LITERATURE on drawing research specifically for CHILDREN'S LEARNING. Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated!

Since 1995, after developing the Volcanic Eifel Family with Willi Basalt to transfer the formation of mineral water in the Gerolstein / Volcanic Eifel Geopark to children I am working on communication of geoscientific topics for children and the general audience, see attached text of the story plus the activity booklet for children. In 2004 I have developed "Fiora Eocene and the Time Travel Crew" for the Messel Pit World Heritage Site in Germany. In this context we have developed some material for activities in education as well as for education acros tourism offers and promotion. I am very much interested if there exist more communication concepts in geoscientific knowledge transfer that work with comic type material.
Are you aware of any related important literature?
I am struggling with selecting a theory. I am working on a qualitative study, that seeks to understand the lived experiences of military families of children with children with disabilities who face challenges In receiving continuity of services during a PCS (permanent change of station) / relocation. I already thought of attachment theory but was told it doesn’t quit fit. Any ideas or feedback will be highly appreciated.
Could be any scenario that you could find a higher EtCO2 than the value of a PCO2 of a ABG in a children with a congenic heart disease under invasive mechanical ventilation?
In my case, a patient of 8 days since birth after a surgery of transposition of great vessels in a neurocritical situation due to an acute brain bleeding is having an EtCO2 of 44 mmHg and a PaCO2 of 35 mmHg.
Hi,
My current research question is looking at whether children at 5-8 months of age have memory. To do this, we have run an eye-tracking study doing 3 encoding slides and 1 test slide. in the encoding slides, we show an image in each and in the test we have 1 old and 1 new. The looking behaviour of the child toward the "new" vs "old" image is collected as separate DVs. We are also interested to see if children have different looking behaviours towards different emotions of faces so the 3+1 slides will either have all happy or all angry faces (2 different conditions - happy angry), and all children will do both (within-samples/repeated measure), counterbalanced.
For the analysis, we are comparing OldNew X HappyAngry, but we want to control for other covariates, eg. If there was parent interference (we have a column labelled 1, interfered, 0 no interfered) or whether the number of trials (only 1 trial or all 3 trials, per condition) that went into the average looking to old or looking to new created significant variance/ impacted the data). The annoying thing is trying to input this as a covariate in a repeated measures ANOVA because there is eg. number of trials for Happy and number of trials for Angry, in separate columns so 2 covariates would go in?
Wondering if anyone has any suggestions? Appreciate all the help, thank you! - Karen

I am brainstorming some ideas for a research project exploring the impact of services for children with disabilities. The population I'm working with has a high percentage of children with neurodevelopmental diagnoses and severe communication difficulties (non-verbal or very limited verbal communication skills). I have been reading about photo elicitation and autophotography research methods and was wondering if anyone has experience of using this type of method with children? Having the children take photos during the services sounds like a possible way of exploring their experience and their perspective, however I'm not sure if the photos would be 'meaningful' or if I'd just end up with a lot of photos of ceilings and elbows (thinking about some of the photos my younger relatives have taken when I've let them play on my phone). Any experiences or research on this would be appreciated.
the sample was formed from a group of pregnant women who were diabetic either gestational diabetes or else and the mortality and morbidity of their children were recorded. why is it a descriptive, not a cohort, although they are a cohort group share the same risk factor?
We are doing a questionnaire survey on the changes before and after the experience in an urban forest for six weeks. We want to use a POMS survey sheet. Where can we find a free questionnaire sheet? Or please give some suggestions on how to compile one for the pupils?

Hello everyone, does anyone know how to calculate the simple size for a 2(gender: male, female)*2(culture: Asian, European)*2(age: children, adult)*2(direction: back, front)*2(position: left, right)*2( condition: confort, non-comfort) repeated ANOVA? We have 6 factors, among these, gender and culture are between-factors, while age, direction, position, and condition are within-factors. I'd appreciate it if someone can help me.
In what ways may a STEM facility develop these skills?
As part of my Ph.D. in cognitive linguistics and bilingualism, I am aiming to measure the executive functions of children and teenagers. To do so, I would like to find digitalized versions of tests used to measure the three core executive functions: inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. Examples of the tests I would be interested in are the Simon task, the N-back task, and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task.
I would really appreciate your feedback!
Hi all,
I am conducting research into the narrative abilities of children with DLD. Apart from standardized tests, we want to elicit some personal narratives from the children to have a good representation of their narrative abilities in a day to day setting.
Do you know of any protocols to elicit these personal narratives? Or can you give tips how to go about this? Protocols in Dutch would be best, but English is also fine.
Thank you in advance.
Obsession with a particular person is a disease, there is no doubt about this fact. The fact that "Obsession with a particular person" is a disease can be validated through the following reasons:
1. Obsessing after a particular individual, takes away the focus from my own development (personally and academically), to that on another person. I am thus wasting useful productive time.
2. I may be obsessing after a particular individual for an ulterior motive (intention). The intention whether "good" of "bad" are both wrong. The "good" intention may be that, for example, I am trying to get an "incapable individual" to a certain standard. The "good" intention may also be wrong, because that individual is not interested in what your plans may be for him/her and is simply not destined for that field of expertise. There are no questions about the fact that "bad" intentions are simply intolerable, this is again because the person obsessing after another may have very evil intentions and thus unnecessary (uncalled for) problems.
3. The individual obsessing after another individual cannot find their way towards their own development. In the process of obsessing after a particular individual, the obsessor takes irrational decisions, all for their own downfall and destruction. For example, an obsessor, to gain the attention of a particular individual, goes to the particular individuals house forcibly (through crooked means) and creates a ruckus. The ruckus need not have been created had obsessors focussed on their own development. Examples of own development are taking up sports activities, taking up arts as a hobby or studying something you would have liked to study as a child, but could not; and many more, all aimed towards developing your own self as a better individual, with something that your children or near and dear could learn from.
Discussion: Obsession can and has reached "pandemic proportions". However, we must try and save ourselves from obsessing after a particular individual.

Question: Do mental health therapists' fear and invalidation of emotions related to anger and assertiveness inhibit emotional improvement in minorities? (In the context of 'No awareness of the clients' resilience and gifts within themselves and community.')
Being children of God, all races, all the ill and marginalized, are children of Jesus Christ, who is not a "white man or middle eastern man" but a Man of love.
I have data from PhD thesis regarding Indian parents and children. I wish to look at it with an activity theory lens. Specifically the partnerships between parents and teachers. Has anyone worked on activity theory and its applications in early childhood research? Let me know. My email is [email protected]

Maintenance of children born out of live in relationships
If you have kids or teach kids, you likely want them to learn the latest technologies to help them succeed in school and their future jobs. With rapid tech advancements, artificial intelligence and machine learning are essential skills you can teach young learners today.Thankfully, you can easily access free and paid online resources to support your kids' and teens' learning journey. Here, we explore some of the best e-learning websites for students to gain experience in AI and ML technology.
A Netflix film I viewed recently stimulated this research question - Mrs Chatterjee versus Norway. It focused on one of many cases in which the child-welfare agency of the Norwegian state denied Indian immigrant parents custody of their own children because they disapproved of Indian child-rearing practices. It reminded me of the 1960's 'scoops' in which child-welfare agencies of Canada's provincial governments removed Indigenous children from their natal families. In both , removal was claimed to be 'for the good of the child'...specifically the individual child not the family. The Norwegian case also stressed feminist gender norms..one claim against the Chatterjees was that the father didn't help in child-rearing.
For children in the qualitative part can Memorial symptom assessment tool be used?
total population in the qualitative and quantitative part?
Kindly suggest.

IQ testing in children below 10years of age is something different from IQ testing in others. I found some online IQ testing websites. However I have not found any authenticity or reliability of those tools. I am searching for IQ testing questionnaire for children 6 to 10 years of age suitable for Indian setting.

Eri Mountbatten-O'Malley's question: "why don’t we see young people as citizens in their own right?" seems to be on more and more minds. Academics, practitioners - sometimes they are both - are adding weight to the longstanding argument for young peoples' (including children's) enfranchisement.
I have not read a convincing argument about why young people should not be enfranchised. As John Wall recently wrote: the onus should not be on young peoples and their allies to demonstrate why they should gain the vote but rather that onus should fall on the shoulders of the people who do not want to enfranchise them.
Both so very much evidence and ethics side with young peoples enfranchisement. Is this "the" suffragist movement of our times?
What child social development support programmes, child psychological support programmes are being developed in relation to the increasing scale of psychological problems in children, which have significantly worsened since March 2020, i.e. since the lockdowns, national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc., introduced during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic?
At the beginning of May 2023, the World Health Organisation lifted the state of global epidemiological emergency associated with Covid-19. In Poland, the state of heightened epidemiological emergency associated with Covid-19 is not due to be lifted until the end of June 2023. This is likely to increase the scale of ongoing research into the various secondary effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, both the post-pandemic, post-vaccine health effects, then also the social and economic effects, including, for example, on the issue of rising inflation from 2021 generated by the introduction of a large amount of additional money into the economy during the Covid-19 pandemic, which was mainly intended to limit the scale of the increase in unemployment caused by the introduced lockdowns. In Poland, the PIS government is mainly responsible for the deterioration of children's mental state, which unreflectively and without applied research and public consultation introduced large-scale lockdowns imposed on selected sectors of the economy, national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc. ... and even a ban on entering forests during part of the period of wave 1 of the pandemic.
From mid-2022 onwards, more and more comparative studies began to appear, which compared internationally the question of the correlation between the rate of development of the pandemic, the number of deaths categorised as caused by the severe Covid-19 disease state and the occurrence of co-morbidities, usually in more than 90 per cent of cases, and the so-called 'anti-pandemic safety instruments' introduced to varying degrees in individual countries. The results of the study did not confirm the findings of the study, which was based on the results of the research carried out by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). The results of the research carried out did not support the thesis regarding the validity of the
of the lockdowns introduced during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic as an instrument to significantly reduce the level of mortality caused solely by the severe Covid-19 condition, exclusively, i.e. by subtracting the factor of co-morbidities. In some countries, the generating factors of specific comorbidities were key influential determinants shaping mortality levels. For example, in Poland, where, due to the government's neglect and deliberate slowing down and blocking of the development of renewable energy sources in recent years, more than three quarters of energy is still produced by the technologically backward dirty power industry based on burning hard coal and lignite, which generates the worst air quality in cities during heating periods compared to Europe and the world. This poor air quality, determined by high levels of particulate matter (PM 2.5, PM 10, etc.), is the source of premature deaths, estimated at around 50 000 people, i.e. deaths caused by respiratory and other diseases resulting from high levels of air pollution. Such diseases are examples of diseases coexisting with Covid-19, which were compounding factors in the level of mortality qualified as caused by these diseases in combination with Covid-19 during the pandemic. In the government-led pandemic risk management process, different structures were adopted to prioritise safety on the one hand for health and on the other hand also for socio-economic safety. Different solutions were adopted in the countries in terms of the applied anti-pandemic safety and anti-crisis instruments with regard to the economy. Consequently, the effects of these measures were also not the same. The economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19) and the applied anti-pandemic instruments also varied significantly between the various different industries and sectors of the economy.
These systemic anti-pandemic measures mainly benefited the technology sectors, companies operating on the Internet, businesses developing e-commerce, courier companies, state-owned companies receiving additional government contracts for the production of anti-pandemic assortments, e.g. hand disinfectant fluids, production of protective masks, etc. On the other hand, there were many more companies and enterprises, mainly operating in the service sectors, which were subject to lockdowns and suffered severe financial losses, some going out of business because of them, which in macroeconomic terms generated a deep recession of the economy during the 1st wave of the pandemic. However, as it later turned out, there were many more problems caused by such anti-pandemic socio-economic policies. Among these various secondary effects of the negative and particularly socially significant problems generated by the misguided antipandemic socio-economic policy, one stands out the increasing scale of psychological problems in children, which have significantly worsened since March 2020, i.e. since the lockdowns introduced during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc., and have been exacerbated by the controversial pseudo-reforms applied to the education system over the past few years. In Poland, this problem is very serious. This is confirmed, inter alia, by the data on the growing scale of child suicides in the period from 2020 to 2022. Lockdowns, national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc., introduced and applied on a large scale during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic in Poland, have caused disorders in the social development of children and adolescents. In view of this, it is essential to create and develop programmes to support the social development of children, programmes of psychological assistance for children, which should prevent the growing scale of psychological problems in children.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the Honourable Community of scientists and researchers:
What programmes of support for children's social development, programmes of psychological assistance for children are being developed in connection with the increasing scale of problems of a psychological nature in children, which have significantly worsened since March 2020, i.e. since the lockdowns introduced during the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19), national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc.?
What child development support programmes, child welfare programmes are being developed in relation to the increasing scale of mental health problems in children?

Anyone has encountered similar or more rare situations?
I am seeking to make an inventory and evaluate storybooks or projects that are intended to introduce concepts of gender equality or feminism to young children in the Sub-Saharan region or the Islands of the Eastern part of the Indian Ocean within the last 10-15 years.
There is a lot of discussion going on about ChatGPT (https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/). I asked ChatGPT some questions related to my research field. Results: ChatGPT offered narratives as a structured text, quite short, but not a real paper you could submit to a journal. It could be useful though for secondary school children's assignments ...
If you read this: Why not ask ChatGPT a question from your research field. Then (a) report this question, (2) the answer by ChatGPT and (3) your evaluation about its quality.
And finally, it would be great if you would reply to my request here by presenting (1), (2) and (3).
Looking forward to your replies.
Hello World,
Hope you are well!
I am developing a Motivation Assessment Tool based on Physialc Actvity contexts for children with autism spectrum disorder. I am stuggling a bit with the PA contexts. My team suggested me to include all PA contexts I am interested in and suggested me how to deal with multiple PA contexts when testing the tool. ‘Instead of explaining PA to children directly, taking the initiative to ask the children to justify PA from children at the beginning can be a good way (asking, what does PA mean for you? What is PA?). Then we could give them some specific examples for each category.’
If we look at the defintion for PA. It is quite big. To be clear Physical Activity is a broad term referring to all bodily movement that uses energy. It includes all active time (eg: sports and dance activities). It also includes indoor and outdoor play, work / school-related activity, outdoor and adventurous activities, active travel (e.g. walking, cycling, rollerblading, scooting) and routine activities such as using the stairs, doing housework etc. (Association for Physical Education Health Position Paper 2015).
I am concerned that kids with autism might find it confusing if we ask them to imagine that they are in too many different PA contexts. How do you think?
Is there a specific PA context worth more attention and research for children with ASD??
I have thought that we could only focus on out-of-school contexts. It still seems a bit confusing cause it means both PA on school grounds and PA at locations that are outside of the school(see the definition I found below)will be considered. Could I just simply clarifiy in my research and tell the children that we only consider the PA at locations that are outside of the school so it would be more clearer to the chidlren with ASD?
Out-of-school time programs often occur on school grounds but outside of school hours (e.g., before and after school programs), or at locations that are outside of the school setting (e.g., residential camps, not-for-profit clubs, such as the Young Men’s Christian Association; Dzewaltowski, 2008; Wiecha et al., 2014).
Appreicated for your time!
Kind regards,
Mi
What do you think about the use of technological devices (tablets, smartphones, smart tvs)in terms of learning a foreign language for 0-3 years old and preschool (3-5 years old) children but informally without any curriculum and program outside the school?
Can information happen accidentally but meaningfully without being systematically dictated to children? Or does the use of technology, which is left to its own nature, does not provide learning and causes neurological problems in children?
Our school has been asked to reevaluate our SEN practice. Currently, children are removed from class in small groups to work on educational material targeted at their ability and/or current level of working in English and Maths. They enjoy these lessons but rarely re-enter the class for these key subject areas. Our government policy advocates for the primacy of the class teacher and this practice has to change. How successful is team teaching and/or other types of interventions when addressing the needs of highly disadvantaged students (disadvantaged both socially and educationally) who have demonstrated very low academic ability? Is the primacy of the class teacher highly significant in addressing each child's needs?
Many thanks for your help and advice

If the accessory respiratory muscles suddenly functioned without the diaphragm to initiate inspiration, could this generate negative pleural pressures and lead to the intrathoracic petechial hemorrhages commonly found in SIDS cases at autopsy?
In other words, let's say the diaphragm somehow, suddenly became fully and bilaterally paralyzed in a healthy, spontaneously breathing infant (one not receiving mechanical ventilation). The rising pCO2 and dropping pO2 would trigger gasping inspiratory efforts by the CNS via chemoreceptor-mediated reflexes. However, because only the accessory muscles are available and with the diaphragm being inoperative, would the inspiratory efforts be met with resistance?
Possible answers:
- No, they could still initiate inspiration independent of the diaphragm (overcoming resisting force of lung compliance).
- Yes. Negative pleural pressures would result; effectively a 100% airway obstruction, and lead to severe terminal gasping efforts and cause the petechiae.
- Other
From the references below: In infants and young children undergoing thoracic surgery complicated by bilateral phrenic nerve injuries, postoperative hospital stays were prolonged due to the need for prolonged mechanical ventilation1,2.
So in that situation, apnea didn't occur simply because the patients were already receiving mechanical ventilation. But what would happen if they weren't? My guess is immediate respiratory arrest, gasping, asphyxia, negative intrathoracic pressures and secondary cardiac arrest. What's yours?
