The Big-fish-little-Pond effect is well acknowledged as the negative of class/school average achievement on student academic self-concept, which profoundly impacts performance and mental development. Although a few studies have been done with regard to this effect, inconsistence exists in size little success finding moderators. Here, we present meta-analysis synthesize related literatures reach summary conclusion BFLPE. Furthermore, age, comparison target, self-concept domain, location,...

Using PISA 2012 data, the present study explored profiles of mathematics anxiety (MA) among 15-year old students from Finland, Korea, and United States to determine similarities differences MA across three national samples by applying a multi-group latent profile analysis (LPA). The major findings were that (a) found in all samples, i.e., Low MA, Mid High profile, (b) percentages classified into each differed Finnish, Korean, American with having highest prevalence Finland lowest....

To understand the mental health status of Chinese postgraduate students during COVID-19 pandemic, we used three online questionnaires: self-rating anxiety (SAS) scale, depression (SDS) and social avoidance distress (SAD) scale. A total 3137 from different regions China participated in our study. We explored relationship between participant characteristics using an analysis variance (ANOVA). found that proportions respondents with severe, mild, moderate were 1.4%, 10.48%, 21.99%,...

As medical facilities are usually built at urban areas, special concrete aggregates and evaluation methods needed to optimize the design of walls by balancing density, thickness, material composition, cost, other factors. Carbon treatment rooms require a high radiation shielding requirement, as neutron yield from carbon therapy is much higher than protons. In this case study, maximum energy 430 MeV/u current 0.27 nA hybrid particle system. Hospital or facility construction should consider...

The Circumplex Scales of Interpersonal Values (CSIV) is a 64-item self-report measure goals from each octant the interpersonal circumplex. We used item response theory methods to compare whether dominance models or ideal point best described how people respond CSIV items. Specifically, we fit polytomous model called generalized partial credit and an similar complexity graded unfolding responses 1,893 college students. results both graphical comparisons characteristic curves statistical...

This paper addresses the cooperative search problem for a team of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with limited field-of-view (FOV) and available overload constraints. First, models environment, UAV, image sensor, communication are established. Second, modified distributed information fusion strategy based on Bayesian rule is proposed, which can make all individual probability maps converge to same one reflect true existence or nonexistence targets within each cell. Third, gradient-based...

Abstract Parents greatly affect youth's vocational and educational development. The objective of the study was to investigate how parental support in career development affects adolescents’ learning engagement mediating effects four adaptability aspects life meaning. participants were 516 high school students from Guangdong, China. found that: (1) Career‐related had a positive impact on engagement; (2) confidence meaning acted as mediators connecting career‐related with (3) there chain...

This study conceptualized the multidimensional construct of parental involvement, including cognitive behavioral and personal examined mediating effects student's mental health mathematics self-efficacy. Questionnaires were administered to 2866 early adolescents their parents in China; structural equation modeling bias-corrected bootstrap methods used. The results show that different dimensions involvement had on achievement. Additionally, indicate influences achievement either partially or...

To reduce the impact of parameter estimation errors on IRT linking results, recent work introduced two information-weighted characteristic curve methods for dichotomous items. These showed outstanding performance in both simulation and pseudo-form pseudo-group analysis. The current study expands upon concept information weighting context mixed-format tests. Three new were proposed, including category-information-weighted (CWCC), item-information-weighted (IWCC), test-information-weighted...

Item response theory (IRT) observed score kernel equating was evaluated and compared with equipercentile equating, IRT methods by varying the sample size test length. Considering that data simulation might unequally favor methods, pseudo tests groups were also constructed to make results comparable those from simulation. Identity large single group rule both set as criterion (or true equating) on which local global indices based. Results show in random equivalent design, is more accurate...

Analysis of social network data often faces the problem tie non-response. Recent studies show that results analyses can be severely biased if non-response was ignored. To overcome problems created by non-response, several treatments were proposed in literature: complete-case approach, unconditional mean imputation, reconstruction and multiple imputation. In this paper we assessed impact on analysis investigated performance four to handle The simulation showed ignoring could underestimate...

Abstract Background To promote healthy aging, the information about development of quality life (QoL) is great importance. However, explorations heterogeneity in change QoL under Chinese context were limited. This study aimed to identify potential different patterns and influential factors using a longitudinal, nationally representative sample elderly. Methods We adopted five-wave longitudinal dataset from Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), total 1645 elderly obtained. The had...

The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), as one of the most frequently employed measures emotion regulation (ER), has increasingly been used numerous researches and applications. However, structures derived from previous factor-analytic studies have a high degree inconsistency. In current study, both traditional factor analysis method novel (bifactor) modeling approaches were to examine optimal measurement structure DERS sample 1036 Chinese participants. After series comparisons,...
