Marital conflict and conduct problems in Children of Twins   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Harden KP  Turkheimer E  Emery RE  D'Onofrio BM  Slutske WS  Heath AC  Martin NG 《Child development》2007,78(1):1-18

The Children-of-Twins design was used to test whether associations between marital conflict frequency and conduct problems can be replicated within the children of discordant twin pairs. A sample of 2,051 children (age 14-39 years) of 1,045 twins was used to estimate the genetic and environmental influences on marital conflict and determine whether genetic or environmental selection processes underlie the observed association between marital conflict and conduct problems. Results indicate that genetic and nonshared environmental factors influence the risk of marital conflict. Furthermore, genetic influences mediated the association between marital conflict frequency and conduct problems. These results highlight the need for quasiexperimental designs in investigations of intergenerational associations.  相似文献   

Building electronic cooperation in the 1990s- the Maryland, Georgia, and Texas experiences     

Desider L. Vikor  George Gaumond  Fred M. Heath 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》1997,23(6):511-514

Large scale statewide library cooperation using information technology and wide area networks dates back to the early 1980s with efforts such as the Florida Center for Library Automation and, more recently, the LOUIS Project in Louisiana (see JAL January 1994) and OhioLink (see JAL September 1995). Early efforts were usually focused on the implementation of library information management systems and the provision of shared access to locally held collections, and they often still are. In the 1990s, though, we are witnessing a shift in statewide cooperative use of networks to provide principally access to bibliographic and full-text resources not held locally and usually provided by commercial vendors for use by libraries. As the case studies in this column illustrate the development of funding sources, the technical implementations and support, and the management organization differ from state to state. They reflect, though, the incremental shift in the information landscape towards “electronic libraries”. I choose the word incremental intentionally to reflect that this change has not (at least so far) been anywhere near as rapid or revolutionary as many expected. Nevertheless, what has happened in about 15 years is quite dramatic. It portends a different kind of academic library.—CBL, University of Maryland, College Park.  相似文献

Healing after traumatic events: Aligning interventions with cultural background and religious and spiritual beliefs     

Melissa A. Heath  Elizabeth A. Cutrer-Párraga 《Psychology in the schools》2020,57(5):718-734

Historically, disaster response efforts have focused primarily on basic physical survival and safety—addressing medical emergencies and ensuring adequate shelter and supplies of food and water. However, in addition to physical survival, relief efforts must also consider strategies to promote emotional healing and psychological well-being. In particular, those who intervene must consider the acceptability of intervention strategies, taking into account survivors' cultural background, religious customs, and spiritual beliefs. This article offers recommendations to better align school-based therapeutic interventions with children's religious and spiritual beliefs.  相似文献   

Variability in children’s early reading strategies     

Lee Farrington‐Flint  Emily Coyne  James Stiller  Emily Heath 《教育心理学》2008,28(6):643-661

The present study examines the development of sight word reading in young children by examining changes in their self‐reported reading strategies over time. A sample of 65 five to seven year olds were asked to read 40 real word items, all carefully matched for letter length and word frequency, on three separate occasions. Changes in the children’s word identifications were measured using immediately retrospective verbal self‐reports. Overall, the results showed some variability in the children’s self‐reported reading strategies. Over time the children relied less on phonological strategies and moved towards reliance on directly retrieving words from memory. This change was most evident in the older children; while both year groups showed similar patterns of shifting reliance from explicit phonological strategies to retrieval, this shift was simply less frequent among the younger children. An analysis of word‐specific changes in reading strategies showed that the older children had a better sight vocabulary for more complex word items. These findings provide further support for Ehri’s mediated phase theory in explaining children’s development in learning to read.  相似文献   

Equipping Leaders to Capitalise on the Outcomes of Quality Assessment in Higher Education     

Phil Meade  Chris Heath 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》1999,24(2):147-156

Has the quality movement in universities become so sophisticated that it has outpaced the capacity of academic leaders to respond? The authors of this paper argue that this has been their experience within the context of New Zealand universities. In response, the University of Otago has developed an innovative programme to provide academic and administrative leaders with an opportunity to enhance those skills and attributes needed to meet the challenges of change arising from audit and other reforms.  相似文献   

Investigating Strategies for Pre-Class Content Learning in a Flipped Classroom     

Jamie L. Jensen  Emily A. Holt  Jacob B. Sowards  T. Heath Ogden  Richard E. West 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2018,27(6):523-535

In a flipped classroom model, learning of basic content is shifted before class while in-class time is used for concept application. Empirical and controlled research studies are lacking on the best strategies to provide the necessary pre-class content instruction. In this study, we tested three methods of pre-class content learning—interactive online tutorials, video lectures, and textbook-style readings—while holding the content and the in-class application activities constant. Identical introductory, non-majors biology classes were manipulated at both a public, open-enrollment institution and a private, highly selective institution. We found that video lectures offer a small advantage to overall student learning over interactive tutorials or textbook-style readings. Although our two populations differed in their ability to effectively learn from pre-class activities, through a student-centered flipped classroom approach, students at both institutions demonstrated equal learning gains by the final assessment. Potential reasons for some observed differences are suggested.  相似文献   

Validation of a single-stage submaximal treadmill walking test     

Lindsey Waddoups  Jennifer Fallon  Edward Heath 《Journal of sports sciences》2013,31(5):491-497

Abstract

The single-stage treadmill walking test of Ebbeling et al. is commonly used to predict maximal oxygen consumption ([Vdot]O_2max) from a submaximal effort between 50% and 70% of the participant's age-predicted maximum heart rate. The purpose of this study was to determine if this submaximal test correctly predicts [Vdot]O_2max at the low (50% of maximum heart rate) and high (70% of maximum heart rate) ends of the specified heart rate range for males and females aged 18 – 55 years. Each of the 34 participants completed one low-intensity and one high-intensity trial. The two trials resulted in significantly different estimates of [Vdot]O_2max (low-intensity trial: mean 40.5 ml · kg^?1 · min^?1, s = 9.3; high-intensity trial: 47.5 ml · kg^?1 · min^?1, s = 8.8; P < 0.01). A subset of 22 participants concluded their second trial with a [Vdot]O_2max test (mean 47.9 ml · kg^?1 · min^?1, s = 8.9). The low-intensity trial underestimated (mean difference = ?3.5 ml · kg^?1 · min^?1; 95% CI = ?6.4 to ?0.6 ml · kg^?1 · min^?1; P = 0.02) and the high-intensity trial overestimated (mean difference = 3.5 ml · kg^?1 · min^?1; 95% CI = 1.1 to 6.0 ml · kg^?1 · min^?1; P = 0.01) the measured [Vdot]O_2max. The predictive validity of Ebbeling and colleagues' single-stage submaximal treadmill walking test is diminished when performed at the extremes of the specified heart rate range.  相似文献
