For this study, information on Who Bullies was collected from 54 school classes with 918 children ( M age = 11) and 13,606 dyadic relations. Bullying victimization were viewed separately the point of view bully victim. The two perspectives highly complementary. probability a bully–victim relationship higher if more dominant than victim, victim vulnerable rejected by class. In dyad, boys often bullies. There no finding sex effect for victimization. Liking reduced disliking increased relationship.

Abstract In this study, life-span developmental relations between naming and reading speed were addressed. More specifically, the aims of research (a) to determine how continuous-naming speeds for 4 stimulus types (letters, numbers, pictures, colors) a word list increase across life span, (b) investigate possible changes in interrelations these various age levels, (c) development word-reading associations at levels. Eight experimental samples participants pooled into 5 homogeneous levels...

A random effects model is proposed for the analysis of binary dyadic data that represent a social network or directed graph, using nodal and/or attributes as covariates. The structure reflected by modeling dependence between relations to and from same actor node. Parameter estimates are based on an iterated generalized least‐squares procedure. An application presented set friendship American lawyers.

Background Practice guidelines for childhood posttraumatic stress disorder ( PTSD ) recommend trauma‐focused psychotherapies, mainly cognitive behavioral therapy CBT ). Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR is a brief trauma‐focused, evidence‐based treatment in adults, but with few well‐designed trials involving children adolescents. Methods We conducted single‐blind, randomized trial three arms n = 103): 43), Cognitive Behavior Writing Therapy CBWT ; 42), wait‐list WL 18)....

The factor structure and psychometric properties of the Dutch version Mindful Attention Awareness Scale for Adolescents (MAAS-A) was studied in a sample adolescents (n = 717; age range, 11-17 years) general population. MAAS-A other questionnaires measuring constructs were administered high schools across Netherlands. A one-factor demonstrated using principal component analysis further confirmed confirmatory analysis. shown to have internal consistency. Expected negative correlations between...

Many higher education institutions organize summer bridge programs (SBPs) to prepare students for university. However, the effectiveness of SBPs is unclear, because randomized trials and comparisons between different approaches are lacking. This study evaluated impact two types SBP offered at a Dutch university: (A) sociological, focusing on academic capital, (B) psychological, targeting mindset metacognition, with 250 applicants randomly assigned these programs. They were compared each...

Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) parent-based treatment, teaching parents to reduce FA and increase supportive parenting, thereby aiming improve the child's OCD.

The p 2 model is a random effects with covariates for the analysis of binary directed social network data coming from single observation network. Here, multilevel variant proposed case multiple observations networks, example, in sample schools. defines an identical each independent network, where parameters are allowed to vary across networks. estimated Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm that was implemented free software statistical complete data, called StOCNET. new...

Ethnic boundaries were tested in students' networks 34 Flemish and 19 Dutch high schools. Each network consisted of a school cohort an intermediate level education (track). While students from the native majority predominantly had friendships within their own ethnic category, minority often more inter-ethnic than intra-ethnic friendships. However, multilevel p 2 model for analysing showed that this was due mainly to quantitative dominance networks. Native inclined engage The study found be...
