This study used population data collected in 2015 to examine the association of Australian elementary (primary) school-based SEL programs with students' late middle childhood functioning (aged 11–12 years) on the five social-emotional competencies defined by the <em>Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning</em> (Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making). A total of 18,643 Year 6 students self-reported competencies on the <em>Middle Childhood Survey–Social-Emotional Learning</em>, and 569 school leaders reported on delivery of SEL to these students via the <em>Survey of School Promotion of Emotional and Social Health.</em> Multi-level regression, accounting for school clustering, compared competency levels among students who did and did not receive SEL at school. Secondary analyses determined the strength of effects for students receiving programs with a high-quality evidence base, for programs supported by little or no empirical evidence, and for evidence-based SEL programs that provided a high degree of explicit teaching (i.e., structured teaching and skills practice) of the targeted social-emotional competencies, each relative to students receiving no SEL programs. Positive significant effects of SEL were observed on four of five competencies (excluding Responsible Decision-Making), with effects being strongest for empirically-evidenced SEL programs that provided explicit teaching of the targeted competency. No significant effects of under-evidenced programs were observed. This novel, population-level evaluation demonstrates the universal benefit of evidence-based SEL programs in supporting elementary school students' development of social-emotional competencies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48232,"journal":{"name":"Journal of School Psychology","volume":"110 ","pages":"Article 101447"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143776754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The EACP was implemented over the course of students' 7th grade school year.

For teacher-reported outcomes, intent to treat (ITT) results indicated that EACP was associated with a decrease in externalizing problems over time. Exploration of effect modification suggested that girls in the EACP condition demonstrated statistically significant decreases in school problems over time, as well as a baseline by intervention effect whereby students and schools with greater baseline difficulties demonstrated decreased internalizing problems over time. For student-reported outcomes, there was a significant moderated effect, whereby girls in EACP demonstrated more favorable self-reported personal adjustment outcomes.

Recognizing this pattern, we adopted a social-ecological perspective within a self-determination theory framework to conduct two studies. Study 1 was a pre-registered cluster randomized control trial in which 38 Korean secondary teachers (9 females, 29 males; 19 experimental, 19 control) participated in an intervention to learn how to teach in highly autonomy-supportive and not-at-all controlling ways. We hypothesized that this approach to teaching would create a supportive peer-to-peer classroom climate, which in turn would increase defending- and decrease passive- and reinforcing-bystanding. In three waves over an academic year, 1084 adolescent students (490 females, 594 males) reported their classroom climate and bystanding behaviors. According to a doubly latent multilevel SEM analysis, experimental group teachers created a more supportive climate (<em>Β</em> = 0.55, <em>p</em> &lt; .001) and this classroom-level effect increased defending-bystanding (<em>Β</em> = 0.55, <em>p</em> = .001), decreased passive-bystanding (<em>Β</em> = −0.52, <em>p</em> &lt; .001), and decreased reinforcing-bystanding (<em>Β</em> = −0.40, <em>p</em> = .006). Study 2 was a correlational study in which 629 adolescent students (398 females, 231 males) reported on their teacher's autonomy-supportive and controlling motivating styles and the 11 teachers (four females, seven males) rated each student on the three bystanding behaviors and the extent to which they contributed to two dimensions of classroom climate (i.e., supportive and conflictual). A SEM analysis showed that students' perceived autonomy-supportive teaching predicted teacher-rated supportive climate (<em>Β</em> = 0.23, <em>p</em> = .036) and students' perceived controlling teaching predicted teacher-rated conflictual climate (<em>Β</em> = 0.11, <em>p</em> = .041). According to mediation analyses, supportive climate ratings then predicted teacher-rated high defending (<em>Β</em> = 0.28, <em>p</em> = .006) and low passive (<em>Β</em> = −0.29, <em>p</em> &lt; .001) bystander behavior, whereas conflictual climate ratings predicted teacher-rated low defending (<em>Β</em> = −0.22, <em>p</em> = .008) and high passive (<em>Β</em> = 0.26, <em>p</em> = .001) and high reinforcing (<em>Β</em> = 0.37, <em>p</em> &lt; .001) bystander behavior.

In the present paper, we demonstrate use of a flexible class of distributional models, known as generalized additive models for location, scale, and shape (GAMLSS), to evaluate different distributional families and modeling specifications for reading curriculum-based measures of reading fluency data drawn from SCD studies of academic interventions. Using Bayesian methods and graphical posterior predictive checks, we evaluated GAMLSS based on normal (Gaussian), Poisson, and negative binomial distributional families. We also evaluated the extent to which the dispersion, or variability of outcomes, itself varied across studies and across participants within studies. We found that negative binomial models with heterogeneous dispersions fit better than other distributional families and closely reproduced features of the observed data. Findings highlight the need to consider a broader set of distributional families when developing meta-analytic models of SCD data as well as the need to consider how the degree of dispersion may vary from study to study.
