Mediation analyses abound in social and personality psychology. Current recommendations for assessing power sample size mediation models include using a Monte Carlo analysis simulation testing the indirect effect with bootstrapped confidence interval. Unfortunately, these methods have rarely been adopted by researchers due to limited software options computational time needed. We propose new method convenient tools determining models. demonstrate our through an easy-to-use application that...
Cyberbullying among school-aged children has received increased attention in recent literature. However, no empirical evidence currently exists on whether existing school-based antibullying programs are effective targeting the unique aspects of cyberbullying. To address this important gap, present study investigates effects KiVa Antibullying Program frequency cyberbullying and cybervictimization elementary middle school youth. Using data from a group randomized controlled trial, multilevel...
Promoting self-determination has become a best practice in special education. There remains, however, paucity of causal evidence for interventions to promote self-determination. This article presents the results group-randomized, modified equivalent control group design study efficacy Self-Determined Learning Model Instruction (SDLMI, Wehmeyer, Palmer, Agran, Mithaug, & Martin, 2000) The authors used data on using multiple measures collected with 312 high school students cognitive...
Motor impairments are pervasive and persistent in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) throughout childhood adolescence. Based on recent studies examining motor ASD between 5 15 years (i.e., SPARK study sample), 87-88% of this population is at-risk for a impairment, these problems persisted until years, related to their core (social communication skills repetitive behaviors [RBs]) comorbid (language, cognitive, functional) impairments. Persistent extending into adolescence/adulthood...
Prevention researchers often analyze nonnegative continuous outcomes that are skewed and contain many zero observations. Variables with these features can arise when investigators measure low-base-rate behaviors (e.g., bullying, substance use) or use measurement tools cannot differentiate individuals low standing on the target construct. Common analytic procedures such as linear regression inappropriate for data may result in biased results. This article provides a tutorial alternative...
Abstract We examined the effects of depressive symptoms, antisocial attitudes, and perspective‐taking empathy on patterns bullying victimization during transition from late elementary (4th grade to 5th grade) middle school (6th among 1,077 students who participated in Youth Matters (YM) prevention trial. Latent analysis was used establish classes bullying, victimization, bully‐victimization, uninvolvement. The intervention had a positive impact children as they moved school. More YM group...
Objective To assess differential item functioning and observed mean differences across two modes of administration for PROMIS® measure scores in a sample adults with traumatic injury. Method Items from 7 adult measures (v1.0 Physical Function, Fatigue, Pain Interference, Anger, Anxiety, Depression v2.0 Social Health-Emotional Support) were administered as fixed-length short forms random order to cross-sectional sample. Participants randomly assigned interviewer-administered (phone or...
Abstract A series of recent reports have shed light on the pervasive nature motor impairments in children with ASD (Bhat, 2020, 2021, Bhat et al., 2022), underscoring importance providing clinicians efficient and accurate tools for screening. The Developmental Coordination Disorder‐Questionnaire (DCD‐Q) is a widely used screening tool, yet scant evidence exists regarding its psychometric properties ASD. In Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) 15‐item DCD‐Q large sample (SPARK study), we found...
Severe, persisting fatigue is a prominent symptom of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/chronic syndrome (ME/CFS), but individuals with this illness frequently report the occurrence unique states that might be different from conventional symptoms fatigue. The present study attempted to assess comprehensive set have been commonly reported among patients ME/CFS. A 22-item questionnaire was developed and administered 130 persons diagnosed ME/CFS 251 controls. Adequate scale reliability found. Factor...
Abstract Persons with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) often complain of states (eg, postexertional malaise, brain fog) that are qualitatively different than normal, daily fatigue. Given the heterogeneous nature ME/CFS, it is likely individuals this illness experience these types differently in terms severity and frequency. It also possible meaningful subgroups patients exist exhibit patterns experience. The purpose study was to investigate whether ME/CFS can be...
OBJECTIVE The National Institutes of Health Toolbox Cognition Battery (NIHTB-CB) measures reading, vocabulary, episodic memory, working executive functioning, and processing speed. While previous research has validated the factor structure in healthy adults, not been examined adults with neurological impairments. Thus, this study evaluated NIHTB-CB individuals acquired brain injury. METHOD A sample 392 (ages 18-84) injury (n = 182 TBI, n 210 stroke) completed along neuropsychological tests...
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) assess health outcomes from the patient's perspective. The National Institutes of Health has invested in creation numerous PROMs that comprise PROMIS, Neuro-QoL, and TBI-QoL measurement systems. Some these are potentially useful as primary or secondary measures, contextual variables for treatment adults with cognitive/language disorders. These were primarily created clinical research interpretation group means. They also have potential use individual...
