Design-based research: What it is and why it matters to studying online learning Educ. Psychol. (IF 8.209) Pub Date : 2022-07-01 Christopher Hoadley, Fabio C. Campos
Abstract The ever-changing nature of online learning foregrounds the limits of separating research from design. In this article, we take the difficulty of making generalizable conclusions about designed environments as a core challenge of studying the educational psychology of online learning environments. We argue that both research and design can independently produce empirically derived knowledge

The “Effort Elephant” in the Room: What Is Effort, Anyway? Perspect. Psychol. Sci. (IF 11.621) Pub Date : 2022-06-29 Keela S. Thomson, Daniel M. Oppenheimer
Despite decades of research in the fields of judgment and decision-making, social psychology, cognitive psychology, human-machine interaction, behavioral economics, and neuroscience, we still do not know what “cognitive effort” is. The definitions in use are often imprecise and sometimes diametrically opposed. Researchers with different assumptions talk past each other, and many aspects of effort conservation

Predicting youth aggression with empathy and callous unemotional traits: A Meta-analytic review Clin. Psychol. Rev. (IF 11.397) Pub Date : 2022-06-25 Mary B. Ritchie, Richard W.J. Neufeld, Minha Yoon, Ashley Li, Derek G.V. Mitchell
Historically, empathy has been thought to motivate prosocial behaviour and inhibit aggressive behaviour. Contrary to current assumptions and theoretical support, a recent meta-analysis revealed a small effect of empathy on aggression among adults (Vachon, Lynam, & Johnson, 2013). The current study sought to determine whether broadening the focus from empathy to include other socially relevant affective

Why Warmth Matters More Than Competence: A New Evolutionary Approach Perspect. Psychol. Sci. (IF 11.621) Pub Date : 2022-06-24 Adar B. Eisenbruch, Max M. Krasnow
Multiple lines of evidence suggest that there are two major dimensions of social perception, often called warmth and competence, and that warmth is prioritized over competence in multiple types of social decision-making. Existing explanations for this prioritization argue that warmth is more consequential for an observer’s welfare than is competence. We present a new explanation for the prioritization

Advancing the Study of Resilience to Daily Stressors Perspect. Psychol. Sci. (IF 11.621) Pub Date : 2022-06-24 Anthony D. Ong, Kate A. Leger
Historically, studies of childhood and adult resilience have typically focused on adaptation to chronic life adversities, such as poverty and maltreatment, or isolated and potentially traumatic events, such as bereavement and serious illness. Here, we present a complementary view and suggest that stressors experienced in daily life may also forecast individual health and well-being. We argue that daily

Ammerman, Daniel E. Bradford, Andrew R. Devendorf, June Gruber, Lisa A. Gunaydin, Lauren S. Hallion, Erin A. Kaufman, Stephen P. Lewis, Dese’Rae L. Stage
Psychopathology is a common element of the human experience, and psychological scientists are not immune. Recent empirical data demonstrate that a significant proportion of clinical, counseling, and school psychology faculty and graduate students have lived experience, both past and present, of psychopathology. This commentary compliments these findings by leveraging the perspectives of the authors

Introduction: Evidence-based psychotherapies for borderline personality disorder (BPD) are lengthy, posing a barrier to their access. Brief psychotherapy may achieve comparable outcomes to long-term psychotherapy for BPD. Evidence is needed regarding the comparative effectiveness of short- versus long-term psychotherapy for BPD.

How common are mental-health difficulties among applied psychologists? This question is paradoxically neglected, perhaps because disclosure and discussion of these experiences remain taboo within the field. This study documented high rates of mental-health difficulties (both diagnosed and undiagnosed) among faculty, graduate students, and others affiliated with accredited doctoral and internship programs

Identity fusion is traditionally conceptualized as innately parochial, with fused actors motivated to commit acts of violence on out-groups.

As many schools and departments are considering the removal of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) from their graduate-school admission processes to enhance equity and diversity in higher education, controversies arise. From a psychometric perspective, we see a critical need for clarifying the meanings of measurement “bias” and “fairness” to create common ground for constructive discussions within

We examined the wrecked-by-success hypothesis. Initially formalized by Sigmund Freud, this hypothesis has become pervasive throughout the humanities, popular press, and modern scientific literature. The hypothesis implies that truly outstanding occupational success often exacts a heavy toll on psychological, interpersonal, and physical well-being.

Equity in online learning Educ. Psychol. (IF 8.209) Pub Date : 2022-06-10 Tamara Tate, Mark Warschauer
Abstract Online learning outcomes have indicated both a gap between online and face-to-face learning and the amplification of this gap for low-income and minority learners.
