Medical Students' Beliefs About Screening for Intimate Partner Violence: A Qualitative Study
Researchers have found that medical students who have received training on intimate partner violence (IPV) report greater comfort with screening for IPV and improved IPV interviewing skills than their counterparts. However, less is known about medical students’ beliefs toward screening female patients for IPV and behavioral intention to screen. Semistructured, qualitative interviews were conducted with medical students to assess their beliefs, using the theory of planned behavior and social cognitive theory as theoretical frameworks for the interview questions. Most students felt that screening for IPV could help ide...

Family Beliefs and Behaviors About Smoking and Young Children's Secondhand Smoke Exposure
Conclusions: Despite greater HSB likelihood and higher perceived importance of HSBs among nonsmoking versus smoking primary caregivers, SHSe reduction self-efficacy and intent are protective for Head Start students at high-risk for exposure. Pediatric healthcare providers and early education professionals may be able to support SHSe reduction efforts (e.g., smoking cessation, HSB implementation) and reduce children’s SHSe with counseling strategies to address caregivers’ HSB self-efficacy, intent, and related behaviors.

A case study of undergraduate engineering students' computational literacy and self-beliefs about computing in the context of authentic practices
Publication date: August 2016 Source:Computers in Human Behavior, Volume 61 Author(s): Alejandra J. Magana, Michael L. Falk, Camilo Vieira, Michael J. Reese Engineering students, as compared to computing-related majors, are not traditionally introduced to computing in the context of authentic learning experiences, i.e., real-world applications within their discipline. This paper identifies the impact of computation delivered by authentic learning experiences in the form of anchored instruction on students' self-beliefs and their capacity to leverage computation to acquire disciplinary concepts in subsequent computati...

A Qualitative Exploration of Multiple Perspectives on Transfer of Learning Between Classroom and Clinical Workplace.
This study explored stakeholders' conceptions about transfer of learning between classroom-based learning and workplace practice. APPROACH: Homogeneous focus groups with students, medical teachers, and workplace supervisors were conducted using a constructivist grounded theory approach. FINDINGS: The 54 participants' conceptions mainly related to their beliefs about who was responsible for (a) preparing for transfer of learning, (b) being at the workplace and connecting back to classroom-based learning, and (c) reflecting on transfer of learning and continuing the process. A continuum was recognized between those...

“Engineering” student creativity in a probability and statistics course: Investigating perceived versus actual creativity.
This article reports on the results of a mixed methods educational study of 55 undergraduate engineering students enrolled in a probability and statistics course. The quantitative part of the study measured students’ perceived creativity using the Beliefs about Creativity Scales, and explored the relationship between these perceptions to actual creativity, which were ratings of the degree of originality and fluency of student responses to 4 open-ended assignments that had been developed for the study. The qualitative part of the study included focus group interviews with students about the perceived relevance of creativi...

Understanding the Connection Between Going Back to School and Adolescent Anxiety
As summer winds down and returning to school becomes an unavoidable reality, many teenagers are experiencing a rush of varied emotions. Some teens enjoy school and are eager to trade their dull summer jobs for daily intellectual enrichment. Others find school intolerable and wish that the steamy summer months would carry on forever. A third set sees the first day of school as a landmark of dread and anxiety and spend most of August worrying about whether they’ll get along with their new teachers, whether they’ll be able to keep their grades up, and whether they’ll be able to continue navigating the at times treachero...

Empirically derived classes of eating pathology in male and female college students.
DISCUSSION: These results suggest that binge eating occurs within the context of lower symptom and higher symptom presentations, and that the empirical structure of ED symptoms does not differ in men and women in the nonclinical population. Further research is needed to clarify whether ED phenotypes differ in men and women. PMID: 29035152 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Constructivism and personal epistemology development in undergraduate chemistry students
Publication date: April 2018 Source:Learning and Individual Differences, Volume 63 Author(s): Michael M. Barger, Tony Perez, Dorian A. Canelas, Lisa Linnenbrink-Garcia Students' beliefs about knowledge, or their personal epistemologies, are critical components of the learning process. Researchers and educators need to understand how portrayals of knowledge in the classroom shape personal epistemology development. Using a quasi-experimental design, an organic chemistry instructor taught a traditional, lecture-based course and a constructivist-based interactive-learning course. Students (N = 270) completed three surveys...

Gender bias, other specified and unspecified feeding and eating disorders, and college students: a vignette study.
Abstract This vignette study examined perceptions of 237 male and female undergraduate students regarding two severity levels (low and high) of other specified (OSFED) and unspecified feeding and eating disorders (UFED) in their male and female peers. Multilevel modeling showed that female characters received stronger endorsements of eating pathology than male characters for similar symptom presentations. College men were more likely than college women to rate female characters as having eating disorders. Gender bias about eating disorders affected men and women differently in this study. Implications for gender-i...

Associations between ergogenic supplement use and eating behaviors among university students.
The objective of this study was to examine associations between ergogenic supplement use and disordered eating attitudes and behaviors among university students, and to compare differences by sex. Undergraduate students from 10 top-ranked National College Athletics Association (NCAA) Division I colleges completed an online survey on supplement use, athletic activities, and eating attitudes and behaviors. Among 1633 university students, males (38.9%) reported higher rates of current supplement use than females (15.2%) (p < .001). In linear regression models adjusting for athletic status and body mass index, current supp...

Miraculous, magical, or mundane? The development of beliefs about stories with divine, magical, or realistic causation
Mem Cognit. 2022 Feb 22. doi: 10.3758/s13421-021-01270-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChildren's naïve theories about causal regularities enable them to differentiate factual narratives describing real events and characters from fictional narratives describing made-up events and characters (Corriveau, Kim, Schwalen, & Harris, Cognition 113 (2): 213-225, 2009). But what happens when children are consistently presented with accounts of miraculous and causally impossible events as real occurrences? Previous research has shown that preschoolers with consistent exposure to religious teaching tend to systematically judge ...
