Are students with disabilities suspended more frequently than otherwise similar students without disabilities?
Publication date: February 2019Source: Journal of School Psychology, Volume 72Author(s): Paul L. Morgan, George Farkas, Marianne M. Hillemeier, Yangyang Wang, Zoe Mandel, Christopher DeJarnett, Steve MaczugaAbstractStudents with disabilities (SWD) have been reported to be disproportionately suspended from U.S. schools and so more likely to experience the “school-to-prison pipeline” through suspension's associations with lower academic achievement, dropout, juvenile delinquency, and adult criminality. Yet few studies have estimated SWD's risk of more frequent suspension while simultaneously controlling for potential con...

LindseyAbstractFuture orientation (FO) has received increasing attention for its positive effects on adolescent well-being and successful transition to adulthood.

Cognitive profile analysis in school psychology: History, issues, and continued concerns
Publication date: December 2018Source: Journal of School Psychology, Volume 71Author(s): Ryan J. McGill, Stefan C. Dombrowski, Gary L. CanivezAbstractIntelligence testing remains a fixture in school psychology training and practice. Despite their popularity, the use of IQ tests is not without controversy and researchers have long debated how these measures should be interpreted with children and adolescents. A controversial aspect of this debate relates to the utility of cognitive profile analysis, a class of interpretive methods that encourage practitioners to make diagnostic decisions and/or treatment recommendations bas...

Sources of individual differences in young Chinese children's reading and mathematics skill: A longitudinal study
This study investigated the longitudinal associations between four key elements of school readiness—receptive vocabulary, socioemotional behavior, behavioral self-regulation, and approaches to learning—and individual differences in young children's reading and mathematics trajectories. Chinese children (N = 588) were tested three times between the ages of five and six on their Chinese reading and mathematics skills, and their receptive vocabulary, problem behavior, behavioral self-regulation, and approaches to learning (competence motivation, learning strategy, and attention/persistence) were assessed at five years...

Inclusive classroom norms, children's sympathy, and intended inclusion toward students with hyperactive behavior
Publication date: December 2018Source: Journal of School Psychology, Volume 71Author(s): Luciano Gasser, Jeanine Grütter, Loredana TorchettiAbstractAs the classroom represents an important social context for the development of out-group attitudes, the current study investigated the role of inclusive classroom norms for students' attitudes toward hyperactive peers. The study included 1209 Swiss children from 61 school classes who were surveyed in the fifth grade (T1) and in the sixth grade (T2) (MageT1 = 11.55 years, MageT2 = 12.58 years). Students' attitudes toward hyperactive children was assessed by self-rep...

Assessing malleable social-psychological academic attitudes in early adolescence
Publication date: December 2018Source: Journal of School Psychology, Volume 71Author(s): Jaymes Pyne, Christopher S. Rozek, Geoffrey D. BormanAbstractAlthough it is important to accurately assess and promote student achievement, it is also critical to accurately assess and promote student social and emotional well-being and positive attitudes about school. Recent research has shown the promise of school-based interventions to improve certain student academic attitudes but has also raised concerns about a lack of reliable measures of these attitudes for early adolescents. We compiled the Malleable Social-Psychological Acade...

Meta-analysis of the relationship between academic achievement and broad abilities of the Cattell-horn-Carroll theory
Publication date: December 2018Source: Journal of School Psychology, Volume 71Author(s): Brian A. Zaboski, John H. Kranzler, Nicholas A. GageAbstractInterpretation of intelligence tests has changed over time, from a focus on the elevation of general ability in the early 1900s, to the shape and/or scatter of subtest and index scores in the mid-1900s to the early 2000s, and back to elevation today. The primary emphasis of interpretation now, however, is widely recommended to be on normative strengths and weaknesses of scores reflecting broad and narrow abilities in the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory (Schneider & McGrew, 2...

BinghamAbstractUsing data from a large study of 78 high-quality Head Start classrooms in 12 sites across the U.S., this study examined whether peers' receptive vocabulary skills and teacher-reported social-emotional (S-E) functioning (i.e., behavior problems and self-regulation) measured at the beginning of the preschool year were related to children's gains in these three domains over a school year.
