Cooperative Learning (CL), a small-group instructional approach that creates intergroup collaboration among students, has an extensive track record of improving peer relations and school belonging, which may reduce social stress and protect against internalizing symptoms. However, adhering to the key design principles that make CL successful can be difficult for teachers to do in their everyday practice, underscoring the need for technology-assisted CL. This study evaluated the first-year outcomes of a universal, technology-assisted CL intervention (i.e., PeerLearning.net) on peer relations and, in turn, internalizing symptoms. We also examined whether intervention effects varied by students' baseline symptom levels, sex, and race. Participants were 9th-grade students (N = 691; 55% female; 45% non-White) from 13 high schools in Oregon and Arizona, and student surveys were administered in the fall (pre-test) and spring (post-test). Multilevel models were used to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention at the posttest, accounting for school-level clustering and contextual school characteristics. We found that students in intervention schools showed significantly more positive peer relations and reduced stress, anxiety, depression, and loneliness as compared to control schools. Moderation analyses indicated that students with higher initial peer stress, victimization and loneliness benefited the most, showing greater reductions in symptoms. These findings support universal, scalable, and integrated approaches to youth mental health in the post-COVID era.","PeriodicalId":48182,"journal":{"name":"Psychology in the Schools","volume":"63 10","pages":"1530-1541"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13580322/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148992183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results indicated that children with PAE and those in the contrast group exhibited poorer sentence writing than the control group. Additionally, children with PAE utilized different cognitive processes to write sentences when compared to the nonexposed groups, irrespective of having a diagnosis. For children in the nonexposed groups, improved sentence writing was associated with better performance on measures of intellectual ability, verbal retrieval, verbal learning and recall, and inhibition. For children with PAE, more proficient sentence writing was associated with the same cognitive processes plus spatial working memory. This suggested that unique, altered, or inefficient cognitive functioning associated with effects of PAE impacted written sentence construction. The findings underscore the importance of considering specific cognitive processes, including spatial working memory, when assessing for writing difficulties and developing interventions for children with PAE.","PeriodicalId":48182,"journal":{"name":"Psychology in the Schools","volume":"62 6","pages":"1753-1766"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12974260/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147436727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

McIntosh, Janelle Wendel","doi":"10.1002/pits.23347","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/pits.23347","url":null,"abstract":"Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is complex neurodevelopmental disorder that is exhibited through a wide‐range of symptoms including social interactions, communication deficits, limited interests, and repetitive behaviors (e.g., stimming). The prevalence of autism amongst children and adolescents continues to grow with 1 in 36 diagnosed annually (CDC, 2024). Because autism often comes with a myriad of comorbidities (e.g., sleep disorders, seizure activity, nutritional imbalances, gastrointestinal issues, and mental health disorders), children and adolescents are often prescribed medications and/or treatments to help with the management of these chronic diseases. Croen et al., (2006) found that adolescents are six times more likely to be hospitalized than their neuro‐typical peers. Managing autism takes a multi‐disciplinary approach. Navigating a large university system, academics, and being away from home can be challenging for any teenager. But, adding the complexity of managing a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder on top of the new environment could potentially be overwhelming for the autistic adolescent. It makes sense to use all available resources when transitioning into a college setting. Registered nurses (RN) and advanced practice nurses (APN) are employed at university clinics to help manage student healthcare issues including acute healthcare problems (e.g., viruses), traumatic issues, and chronic healthcare issues. This paper will examine how nursing professionals can assist autistic adolescents when they are entering into a college environment by managing medications and other treatment modalities while being a student advocate within a multi‐disciplinary team.","PeriodicalId":48182,"journal":{"name":"Psychology in the Schools","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study analyses the differences between aggressors, victims, aggressor‐victims and defenders on two measures of peer status (social impact and social preferences) whilst controlling for individual factors. The sample comprised 394 preschool children (184 girls, 210 boys) between the ages of 3–6 years old (M = 4.36, SD = 0.87) and their parents supplying information about socio‐demographic variables and children's emotion regulation. Teachers rated emotional competences for each child in their class. Analysis of covariance along with Bonferroni‐adjusted post‐hoc comparisons were conducted to compare mean scores between the aggression roles for social impact and social preference while controlling for significant individual factors. The results revealed that aggressors and aggressor‐victims exhibited higher social impact but lower social preference after controlling for individual factors. In contrast, defenders enjoyed higher social status among their peers, characterized by both higher social preference and social impact. Victims were associated with lower social preference and social impact. Uninvolved children consistently exhibited lower social impact. Results underscore the need for interventions that focus on promoting prosocial behaviors, addressing aggressive tendencies, and enhancing emotional competences to create a more positive and supportive peer environment.","PeriodicalId":48182,"journal":{"name":"Psychology in the Schools","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142253195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These results indicated that, on average, mastery experiences decreased and physiological and emotional arousal increased, whereas vicarious experience and social persuasion remained stable. Girls had higher initial levels of physiological and emotional arousal than boys, and experienced a steeper decline in mastery experiences compared to boys. Students with special educational needs had lower initial levels of mastery experience and higher physiological and emotional arousal than students without special educational needs. In addition, students with higher individual strengths presented higher initial levels of mastery and vicarious experiences, and lower physiological and emotional arousal. The results contribute to current research and practice by indicating that sources of self‐efficacy for self‐regulation change over time and are thus malleable in the school context.","PeriodicalId":48182,"journal":{"name":"Psychology in the Schools","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142253136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Positive education applies the principles of positive psychology to education, which highlights the importance of students' well‐being and fosters holistic development. This study investigated whether students' well‐being at the start of the semester can predict their academic engagement mid‐way through the semester. We collected data on students' well‐being and academic engagement in two waves; first, at the beginning of the semester (Time 1) and then 3 months in the semester (Time 2). We tested the students' general well‐being and the positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, accomplishment (PERMA) elements at Time 1 with their academic engagement in terms of behavioral, emotional, and cognitive facets at Time 2. Our results show that general well‐being at Time positively predicts their total academic engagement and all engagement facets. However, among the PERMA elements, the Meaning element is not correlated with students' engagement or any of its facets. We also tested whether there was a significant change in student well‐being and engagement from the start of the semester and midway through. We found that there is a significant small increase in well‐being and engagement. Our findings suggest the importance of well‐being as a potentially positive resource for students where students with better well‐being tend to be more academically engaged. Educational institutions may consider fostering student well‐being in their goals to improve the academic success of students.","PeriodicalId":48182,"journal":{"name":"Psychology in the Schools","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142253140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
