The COVID-19 pandemic introduced significant disruptions and challenges to the learning environment for many post-secondary students with shifting entirely remote online learning. Barriers academic success already experienced in traditional face-to-face classes may be compounded exacerbated by stressors related pandemic. In 2020-2021, institutions were faced reality of rolling out fully instruction limited access resources assisting this transition. Instructional interventions that target...

Past research demonstrates the promise of multicomponent programs in reducing peer victimization and bullying older elementary middle school children, however little focuses on young children.

Self-regulated learning (SRL) practices and academic challenges are crucial factors in student success performance. Frequent cannabis alcohol use can negatively affect emerging adults’ cognitive abilities which turn diminishes their Research has not yet fully explored how substance effects university engagement with SRL (e.g., task understanding) motivational challenges).

Abstract Testing the theories that form basis of prevention programs can enhance our understanding behavioral change and inform development, coordination, adaptation programs. However, showing linkages from intervention program components to risk or protective factors desired outcomes across time are rarely specified tested. In this 2‐year longitudinal study, we test theory increases in two (i.e., children's prosocial leadership their teachers’ expectations social responsibility) targeted by...

Ample research suggests that peer victimization predicts social and psychological maladjustment, including emotional (e.g., anxiety, low self-esteem, depression) behavioral aggression) problems among children. Thus, a reliable measure of for with young children is needed. The Social Experience Questionnaire-Self-Report (SEQ-S) has been widely used in existing to assess children's (Crick & Grotpeter, 1996). However, empirical support the psychometric properties SEQ-S limited by methods...

Data were from children, their parents teachers, Grades 1–3 followed five waves. Latent class analyses revealed four trajectory groups characterized by chronically high, increasing, decreasing, or low‐stable levels time. Multilevel showed...

The COVID-19 pandemic introduced significant disruptions in the learning environment for many post-secondary students. While emerging evidence suggest mental health has declined during pandemic, little is known about how affected students academically. This study investigates psychological distress impacts academic performance among a Canadian sample of (n = 496). Path analysis findings that greater levels was associated with lower self-reported predicted GPA. Metacognitive, motivational,...

Adolescent peer aggression is a well‐established correlate of romantic relational aggression; however, the mechanisms underlying this association are unclear. Heavy episodic drinking (or “binge” alcohol use) was examined as both prior and concurrent mediator link in sample 282 12–18 year old interviewed four times over 6 years. Path analyses indicated that early physical each uniquely predicted later aggression. Concurrent heavy fully mediated effect for only. These findings highlight two...

Positive perceptions of school climate are associated with lower frequency peer victimization and aggression in children. Understanding how influences is essential to guiding school-level interventions enhance character strengths such as social responsibility. In this short-term longitudinal study, we test a theoretical model arguing that children’s responsibility mediates the links between their positive (comprised authoritative disciplinary classroom structure, support, teachers’ use...

Although there is evidence that multi-systemic mental health promotion and primary prevention programmes can improve children's health, lack of widespread dissemination evidence-based limits their impact on population levels health. Schools teachers are frequent collaborators in programme development, evaluation implementation. However, we know little about the pre-implementation processes affect adoption (rather than implementation) new school sites. In this two-wave study, which spanned...
