New evidence shows that the air chief marshal who blamed the pilots for the Chinook crash on the Mull of Kintyre in 1994 was not given potentially vital information related to the helicopter's safety-critical software.

This evidence was due to be presented by senior Peers and MPs to defence secretary Geoffrey Hoon yesterday (Wednesday).
In a parliamentary answer, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed that Sir William Wratten, the most senior officer on the RAF Board of Inquiry into the crash on the Mull of Kintyre, was unaware of an earlier incident, in 1989, in which an RAF Chinook suffered serious damage as a result of a software fault.
Wratten was also unaware that, as a result of the 1989 incident, the MoD had made serious allegations against Textron Lycoming, the US supplier of the Chinook's computerised Full Authority Digital Engine Control (Fadec) system.
In court documents, the MoD had claimed that the Fadec was "unsafe", that the specification contained patent errors and ambiguities that remained after "numerous revisions", and the design strategy "relied on unproven software as the only significant safeguard against catastrophe".
Not knowing of these allegations, Wratten had no reason to believe that the Fadec system was capable of causing a crash. The MoD has claimed repeatedly that the system was not capable of causing a catastrophic accident.
Both Wratten and air vice marshal Sir John Day, as reviewing officers, over-ruled an inconclusive report by a three-man inquiry team which found that a series of minor or a possible major technical malfunction could have distracted the crew.

A primary worry among many stock investors today is that the long running bull market may soon come to an end. At the heart of their concern is exactly what lies beyond the bull market peak, as many worry that the subsequent decline into the next bear market could quickly become swift and severe. But history has shown that the transition from a bull market to a bear market is often a gradual and drawn out process filled with rallies and correction that plays out over an extended period of time. In short, bull markets die long slow deaths, and it is this prolonged dying process that causes so many investors to find themselves unwittingly trapped in the next bear market long before they even realize it.
Bear Markets Are Never A Straight Trip Down
What makes the demise of a bull market and the onset of a bear market so dangerous is that the transition process is not dramatic. Instead, it begins subtly and slowly evolves and accelerates over time. A reflection on the past two major bear markets since the start of the millennium highlights how a bull market is gradually laid to rest and a new bear market is released. And for those many investors that have declared their intent to use the next -10% dip as a prime buying opportunity to ride the next leg higher in the stock market (NYSEARCA:SPY), this strategy may prove perilous in the end.
The end of a bull market often begins with the relatively modest initial correction. During the past two market peaks in 2000 and 2007, the decline began with a relatively brief pullback in the range of -9% to -11%. But markets did not continue their descent into a full-fledged bear right away. Instead, they quickly bottomed and rallied smartly for the next few months. This initial bounce helps lull the bullish investor into further complacency. After all, they have been conditioned to the fact throughout the bull market run that advancing to fresh new highs ultimately rewards buying all dips, and it initially appears that such an approach is being duly satisfied.
But something happens along the way. Instead of breaking out decisively to new highs as they have done so many times in the past, the rally stalls. During the past two bear markets, this has taken place essentially at the previous high. Stocks subsequently rollover and enter a new descent. In the past two bear markets, this included another round of -10% to -12% declines.
Still, all seems well to the bullish investor. Despite the unexpected pullback, they have returned to their recent entry point where they initially bought the dip. And during the last two bear markets, stocks began to rally again in quickly posting a +7% to +8% advance. But the spurt higher abruptly ends at levels that are now below previous highs. And the next correction that follows tacks on another double-digit decline in the -12% to -14% range.
Suddenly, the bullish investor is now roughly six months into their position after buying the initial -10% correction and is now showing a loss. Of course, the long running bull market has taught this investor that patience is rewarded. After all, everything still looks like nothing more than a consolidation of recent gains. The thinking still goes that it is only a matter of time before stocks break out once again.
Unfortunately, the last two bear markets have proven this thinking wrong. Stocks post another strong but brief rally in the +6% to +9% range before rolling back over and falling again. In 2001, stocks went on to drop by nearly -20%. In 2008, stocks fell by -9%. But in both cases, investors were left even further underwater in their positions following these declines. Once again, another rally arrives to assuage investor concerns. In 2001, stocks nearly entered into a new mini bull market by jumping +19% and effectively erasing the previous correction. The same was true in 2008, as stocks bounced by +12% following the demise of Bear Sterns in March through mid May. Finally, the bullish investor declares, we are back on track to the upside and we will recover the recent losses sustained during what still appears to be a period of healthy consolidation for stocks.
Then the lights start to go out. At this stage during the past two bear markets, stocks post another double-digit decline, with losses that are greater than those that came before. In 2001, stocks shed -26% through the summer up through the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. In 2008, stocks dropped by -15% also through the summer as gasoline prices exploded higher.
All of the sudden, investors find themselves with declines in portfolio value ranging from -20% to -35% that have been sustained in fits and starts over the course of a year. It is at this point that they first fully realize that the rally to new highs they had been hoping for are not going to materialize and that they are instead in the clutches of a bear market. But at this stage, the bullish investor typically concludes that it is too late to get out. The market has already sustained a meaningful decline and the thinking goes that it does not make sense to lock in losses now since the bear market may soon be over. Instead, it is time now to hold positions under the notion that since the market has already gone down so much already, surely it cannot go down much further. Moreover, all of the values that seemed so elusive during the bull market are now looking much more attractive. Time to hang in there and ride it out.
Regrettably for the now beleaguered bullish investor, it has been at this stage of the past two bear markets where volatility explodes and the major losses are sustained.
In 2001, the outlook is initially promising. Stocks enter into a mini bull market with a +21% advance into early 2002 and hold these gains into the spring that year. It seems that the worst may have finally passed. Then suddenly the market drops by another -28% into July 2002 before starting to thrash violently with a short mini bull run quickly followed by yet another -19% drop that wipe out the previous bounce and mark the bear market lows for the cycle in October 2002. Stocks over the next six months struggle to regain their footing, but the once bullish investor is left with losses in excess of 50% if they did not capitulate under the stress and sell during the extreme turbulence.
In 2008, the bounce was short and fleeting at just +7% into August. It was then followed by the -35% descent that included the collapse of Lehman Brothers along the way. And just like during the previous bear market, it was at this stage where the extreme volatility ensues, with a brief +19% rally quickly negated by another -25% decline that was then partially offset by a +24% gain followed by the final break lower to the final lows in March 2009 that included declines of -14% and -23% over a very short period of time. Once again, investors are left with losses well in excess of 50% assuming they had the fortitude to continue holding during the peak of market violence.
The Danger Of The Quietly Prowling Bear
All of this is why the end of bull markets and the onset of bear markets are so dangerous for investors. It is not at all because they suddenly appear with a dramatic growl at a bull market peak. Instead, it is because it is quietly and slowly trapping market participants in its clutches by masquerading as the previous bull market for months before finally revealing itself as a bear.
Despite the extreme risks, the traditional characteristics of a bear market bode well for investors for the following reason. Once the market peaks, you will very likely have time to get out relatively unscathed. But the key to being successful with such a transition is knowing exactly the signs to look for that indicate that the bull market is finally ending and no further new highs are in the offing.
Thus, now is not the time for complacency. If the recent -4% correction eventually continues to become a -10% correction, investors may wish to at least take pause before jumping into the market with both feet. For the clutches of a bear trap may be waiting as their feet hit the ground on any such move.

This is just getting ridiculous. I'm not going to go research games and find out the exact ages just so you can be like "oh but they don't behave EXACTLY like Oliver." I really don't care.....my point had nothing to do with exact ages, it was about "mature" themes, and yes I realize that maturity is subjective. And I've tried to say that I still want to play the game - simply a bit disappointed. I want to see more games like Lost Odyssey.
And btw,I never said anything about swearing and shooter games being mature. You guys started that nonsense yourselves. Maybe instead of blindly defending the game with straw-man arguments you could take a second to see what people like me mean when we say that it looks "kiddy."

Don't agree......at all. I stand by my point that JRPGs are repetitive as all get out and rarely innovate. I love them (especially older FF titles) but most of them play the same way.

If JRPGs are repetitive, then all games are, and you should just not play games and find a hobby that's not repetitive. Seriously, I find it hard to believe that someone can cast such a downer on a genre they claim to love. It's one thing to admit to certain flaws, but you sound dismissive of the whole thing.
Maybe you should read books or watch movies. Cuz those are never repetitive.

From: snatchsnoopie | Posted: 11/4/2012 1:13:29 PM | #018Obviously any that I name you're just going to be like " no no, there's this slight difference that makes the characters totally different."
I've not done any research on Ni No Kuni about Oliver or how he acts, but I've seen a few 13 year old or thereabouts characters that mature and develop significantly over the course of the games they are in. Wild Arms 4 in particular had the 13 year old Jude as the main lead character. The whole focus of that game was the difference in attitude between adults and children and the children coming to grips with the things they have the power to change, and that which they can not.
Other kids have been major characters (though not the main/lead) in JRPGs and shown great development over the course of the game. Karol (12), while not the main lead, was one of the main characters in Tales of Vesperia. He started as a brat intent to prove his bravery and admiring of Yuri. Over time and development, he became independent character who truely was willing to risk his life for what he believed in. Ken (10 years old) had to deal with very mature issues such as death and revenge in Persona 3.
It is rare for a lead or main character to be that young, and then deal with the mature themes often presented in games like these, but it does happen.
Wait...Oliver is 13?! I thought he's only around 10!

"Breaking Traditions" Crushed Stone & Mahogany Engagement Wood Ring
This ring of salvaged Mahogany, with a birch liner is inlaid with a mixture of crushed stones, including Mother of Pearl, Red Jasper, Malachite, Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli and Sand. The inlay pattern of three circles, mimics a traditional stone setting in a non traditional way.
Mahogany is a symbol of strength and endurance, the tree itself is said to withstand the destruction of lightning strikes. Birch, in the Celtic tradition, symbolizes renewal. These two woods when paired together with the complex amalgamation of materials ignite the power of the four elements — Earth, Water, Fire and Air, and become a powerful metaphor for our lives, asking us to go deep within to expand, grow and take root in new soil.

A guide to our broadband prices around the UK
Why do your prices change depending on where I live?
You can get Plusnet broadband almost everywhere in the UK. But in some places our prices are a bit higher. That's because Ofcom regulate the price we pay in these areas and it costs us more to provide broadband there. We call those places non-low cost areas.
Here's some legal stuff you need to know. Sometimes we change non-low cost areas to low cost areas. But we'll never change a low cost area to non-low cost, unless there's a change in UK law that means we have to.
How many places are low cost areas?
Around 90% of the UK is in a low cost area.
How can I check how much my broadband will be where I live?
If you're interested in signing up for broadband, just give us a ring or sign up online. When we ask your phone number and post code, we'll be able to let you know whether you live in a low or non-low cost area.
If you're interested in home broadband, you can check our prices for both low cost and non-low cost areas by going to our price guide.
If it's business broadband you're after, you can see our prices on our charges page.

Bullying as strategic behavior: Relations with desired and acquired dominance in the peer groupTjeert Olthof | Frits A. Goossens | Marjolijn M. Vermande | Elisabeth A. Aleva | Matty van der Meulen
Volume 49, Issue 3, June 2011, Pages 339-359
To examine whether bullying is strategic behavior aimed at obtaining or maintaining social dominance, 1129 9- to 12-year-old Dutch children were classified in terms of their role in bullying and in terms of their use of dominance oriented coercive and prosocial social strategies. Multi-informant measures of participants' acquired and desired social dominance were also included. Unlike non-bullying children, children contributing to bullying often were bistrategics in that they used both coercive and prosocial strategies and they also were socially dominant. Ringleader bullies also expressed a higher desire to be dominant. Among non-bullying children, those who tended to help victims were relatively socially dominant but victims and outsiders were not. Generally, the data supported the claim that bullying is dominance-oriented strategic behavior, which suggests that intervention strategies are more likely to be successful when they take the functional aspects of bullying behavior into account. © 2011 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
A generalized least squares regression approach for computing effect sizes in single-case research: Application examplesDaniel M. Maggin | Hariharan Swaminathan | Helen J. Rogers | Breda V. O'Keeffe | George Sugai | Robert H. Horner
Volume 49, Issue 3, June 2011, Pages 301-321
A new method for deriving effect sizes from single-case designs is proposed. The strategy is applicable to small-sample time-series data with autoregressive errors. The method uses Generalized Least Squares (GLS) to model the autocorrelation of the data and estimate regression parameters to produce an effect size that represents the magnitude of treatment effect from baseline to treatment phases in standard deviation units. In this paper, the method is applied to two published examples using common single case designs (i.e., withdrawal and multiple-baseline). The results from these studies are described, and the method is compared to ten desirable criteria for single-case effect sizes. Based on the results of this application, we conclude with observations about the use of GLS as a support to visual analysis, provide recommendations for future research, and describe implications for practice. © 2011 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
The assessment of school engagement: Examining dimensionality and measurement invariance by gender and race/ethnicityMing Te Wang | John B. Willett | Jacquelynne S. Eccles
Volume 49, Issue 4, August 2011, Pages 465-480
The construct of school engagement has attracted growing interest as a way to ameliorate the decline in academic achievement and increase in dropout rates. The current study tested the fit of a second-order multidimensional factor model of school engagement, using large-scale representative data on 1103 students in middle school. In order to make valid model comparisons by group, we evaluated the extent to which the measurement structure of this model was invariant by gender and by race/ethnicity (European-American vs. African-American students). Finally, we examined differences in latent factor means by these same groups. From our confirmatory factor analyses, we concluded that school engagement was a multidimensional construct, with evidence to support the hypothesized second-order engagement factor structure with behavioral, emotional, and cognitive dimensions. In this sample, boys and girls did not substantially differ, nor did European-American and African-American students, in terms of the underlying constructs of engagement and the composition of these constructs. Finally, there were substantial differences in behavioral and emotional engagement by gender and by racial/ethnic groups in terms of second-order factor mean differences. © 2011 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
Self-concept and academic achievement: A meta-analysis of longitudinal relationsChiungjung Huang
Volume 49, Issue 5, October 2011, Pages 505-528
The relation between self-concept and academic achievement was examined in 39 independent and longitudinal samples through the integration of meta-analysis and path analysis procedures. For relations with more than 3 independent samples, the mean observed correlations ranged from .20 to .27 between prior self-concept and subsequent academic achievement and from .19 to .25 between prior academic achievement and subsequent self-concept. Globality/specificity of self-concept was the only significant moderating factor in the relation between (a) prior self-concept and subsequent academic achievement and (b) prior academic achievement and subsequent self-concept. As high self-concept is related to high academic performance and vice-versa, intervention programs that combine self-enhancement and skill development should be integrated. © 2011 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
Patterns of adolescent bullying behaviors: Physical, verbal, exclusion, rumor, and cyberJing Wang | Ronald J. Iannotti | Jeremy W. Luk
Volume 50, Issue 4, August 2012, Pages 521-534
Patterns of engagement in cyber bullying and four types of traditional bullying were examined using latent class analysis (LCA). Demographic differences and externalizing problems were evaluated across latent class membership. Data were obtained from the 2005-2006 Health Behavior in School-aged Survey and the analytic sample included 7,508 U.S. adolescents in grades 6 through 10. LCA models were tested on physical bullying, verbal bullying, social exclusion, spreading rumors, and cyber bullying behaviors. Three latent classes were identified for each gender: All-Types Bullies (10.5% for boys and 4.0% for girls), Verbal/Social Bullies (29.3% for boys and 29.4% for girls), and a Non-Involved class (60.2% for boys and 66.6% for girls). Boys were more likely to be All-Types Bullies than girls. The prevalence rates of All-Types and Verbal/Social Bullies peaked during grades 6 to 8 and grades 7 and 8, respectively. Pairwise comparisons across the three latent classes on externalizing problems were conducted. Overall, the All-Types Bullies were at highest risk of using substances and carrying weapons, the Non-Involved were at lowest risk, and the Verbal/Social Bullies were in the middle. Results also suggest that most cyber bullies belong to a group of highly aggressive adolescents who conduct all types of bullying. This finding does not only improve our understanding of the relation between cyber bullying and traditional bullying, but it also suggests that prevention and intervention efforts could target cyber bullies as a high-risk group for elevated externalizing problems. © 2012 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
Understanding the bullying dynamic among students in special and general educationSusan M. Swearer | Cixin Wang | John W. Maag | Amanda B. Siebecker | Lynae J. Frerichs
Volume 50, Issue 4, August 2012, Pages 503-520
Students in general and special education experience bullying. However, few empirical investigations have examined involvement in bullying along the bully/victim continuum (i.e., as a bully, victim, or bully-victim) among students with disabilities. A total of 816 students, ages 9 to 16, participated in the present study. From this total sample 686 were not receiving special education services (categorized as "no disability"), and 130 were receiving special education services (categorized as "observable disability," "non-observable disability," and "behavioral disability"). Data on students' involvement in bullying, office referrals, and prosocial behavior were collected. Results indicated that students with behavioral disorders and those with observable disabilities reported bullying others more and being victimized more than their general education counterparts. Students with behavioral disorders also had significantly more office referrals than students in general education. Seventh graders in general education reported more bullying behavior than sixth graders and ninth grades in general education. Fifth graders in general education reported more victimization than students in all other grades in general education. However, the grade differences were not significant for students in special education. No gender differences on bullying and victimization were found. Students with disabilities reported less engagement in prosocial behaviors than their general education peers. Implications for bullying prevention and intervention across both general and special education are discussed. © 2012.
A systematic evaluation of token economies as a classroom management tool for students with challenging behaviorDaniel M. Maggin | Sandra M. Chafouleas | Katelyn M. Goddard | Austin H. Johnson
Volume 49, Issue 5, October 2011, Pages 529-554
A two-part systematic review was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of token economies in increasing rates of appropriate classroom behavior for students demonstrating behavioral difficulties. The first part of the review utilized the recently published What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) standards for evaluating single-subject research to determine the extent to which eligible studies demonstrated sufficient evidence to classify the token economy as an evidence-based practice. The second part of the review employed meta-analytic techniques across four different types of effect sizes to evaluate the quantitative strength of the findings. Methodological strengths and weaknesses across the studies were systematically investigated. Results indicated that the extant research on token economies does not provide sufficient evidence to be deemed best-practice based on the WWC criteria. © 2011.
Delaware School Climate Survey-Student: Its factor structure, concurrent validity, and reliabilityGeorge G. Bear | Clare Gaskins | Jessica Blank | Fang Fang Chen
Volume 49, Issue 2, April 2011, Pages 157-174
The Delaware School Climate Survey-Student (DSCS-S) was developed to provide schools with a brief and psychometrically sound student survey for assessing school climate, particularly the dimensions of social support and structure. Confirmatory factor analyses, conducted on a sample of 11,780 students in 85 schools, showed that a bifactor model consisting of five specific factors and one general factor (School Climate) best represented the data. Those five factors are represented in five subscales of the DSCS-S: Teacher-Student Relations, Student-Student Relations, Fairness of Rules, Liking of School, and School Safety. The factor structure was shown to be stable across grade levels (i.e., elementary, middle, and high school), racial-ethnic groups (i.e., Caucasian, African American, and Hispanic), and gender. As evidence of the survey's concurrent validity, scores for each of the five subscales and the total scale correlated moderately, across groups and at the school level, with academic achievement and suspensions and expulsions. © 2011 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
A systematic review and summarization of the recommendations and research surrounding Curriculum-Based Measurement of oral reading fluency (CBM-R) decision rulesScott P. Ardoin | Theodore J. Christ | Laura S. Morena | Damien C. Cormier | David A. Klingbeil
Volume 51, Issue 1, February 2013, Pages 1-18
Research and policy have established that data are necessary to guide decisions within education. Many of these decisions are made within problem solving and response to intervention frameworks for service delivery. Curriculum-Based Measurement in Reading (CBM-R) is a widely used data collection procedure within those models of service delivery. Although the evidence for CBM-R as a screening and benchmarking procedure has been summarized multiple times in the literature, there is no comprehensive review of the evidence for its application to monitor and evaluate individual student progress. The purpose of this study was to identify and summarize the psychometric and empirical evidence for CBM-R as it is used to monitor and evaluate student progress. There was an emphasis on the recommended number of data points collected during progress monitoring and interpretive guidelines. The review identified 171 journal articles, chapters, and instructional manuals using online search engines and research databases. Recommendations and evidence from 102 documents that met the study criteria were evaluated and summarized. Results indicate that most decision-making practices are based on expert opinion and that there is very limited psychometric or empirical support for such practices. There is a lack of published evidence to support program evaluation and progress monitoring with CBM-R. More research is required to inform data collection procedures and interpretive guidelines. © 2012 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
Stability of peer victimization in early adolescence: Effects of timing and durationSandra Yu Rueger | Christine Kerres Malecki | Michelle Kilpatrick Demaray
Volume 49, Issue 4, August 2011, Pages 443-464
The current study investigated the stability of peer victimization and the impact of the timing and duration of victimization on psychological and academic outcomes for boys and girls on a sample of 863 middle school students. Results demonstrated strong support for the onset hypothesis and concurrent effects of maladjustment in anxiety, depression, self-esteem, poor school attitude, GPA, and attendance. Support for the cessation hypothesis was mixed, depending on the outcome and gender: boys demonstrated recovery from internalizing distress, whereas girls demonstrated residual effects, even after the cessation of victimization. Girls also demonstrated residual effects of victimization on grades, and both boys and girls evidenced residual effects of victimization on attendance. Regarding duration of victimization, there was strong support for the life-events model of stress and coping across almost all outcomes, suggesting that even temporary experiences of victimization could have a negative impact on psychological and academic outcomes. Overall, results demonstrated the importance of considering the timing and duration of victimization in understanding the risks and damaging effects of victimization. The results from this study also highlight both the need and the potential to intervene during early adolescence when peer relationships are taking on increasing importance, as well as the importance of helping students regain social-emotional and academic functioning, even after victimization ceases. © 2011 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
Validating the Student-Teacher Relationship Scale: Testing factor structure and measurement invariance across child gender and age in a Dutch sampleHelma M Y Koomen | Karine Verschueren | Erik van Schooten | Suzanne Jak | Robert C. Pianta
Volume 50, Issue 2, April 2012, Pages 215-234
The Student-Teacher Relationship Scale (STRS) is widely used to examine teachers' relationships with young students in terms of closeness, conflict, and dependency. This study aimed to verify the dimensional structure of the STRS with confirmatory factor analysis, test its measurement invariance across child gender and age, improve its measurement of the dependency construct, and extend its age range. Teachers completed a slightly adapted STRS for a Dutch sample of 2335 children aged 3 to 12. Overall, the 3-factor model showed an acceptable fit. Results indicated metric invariance across gender and age up to 8. years. Scalar invariance generally did not hold. Lack of metric invariance at ages 8 to 12 primarily involved Conflict items, whereas scale differences across gender and age primarily involved Closeness items. The adapted Dependency scale showed strong invariance and higher internal consistencies than the original scale for this Dutch sample. Importantly, the revealed non-invariance for gender and age did not influence mean group comparisons. © 2011 Society for the Study of School Psychology.

This study used data from the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS; Good & Kaminski, 2002) oral reading fluency (ORF) probes to examine variation among different ORF score types (i.e., the median of three passages, the mean of all three passages, the mean of passages 2 and 3, and the score from passage 3) in predicting reading comprehension as a function of student reading fluency level and to compare the screening accuracy of these score types in predicting student reading comprehension. The results revealed that the relation between oral reading fluency and reading comprehension varied as a function of students' oral reading fluency and that different score types had varying predictive validity for year-end reading comprehension. The mean of all three passages demonstrated a marginally better balance in screening efficiency from September to December of grade one (especially for low-performing students), whereas in grades two and three, the median score was the best predictor. Furthermore, across all grades, increasing reading rates were observed for the three administered passages within an assessment period. The observed patterns mimicked previous experimental studies (Francis et al., 2008; Jenkins, Graff, & Miglioretti, 2009), suggesting that practice effects are an important consideration in the administration of multiple passages assessing oral reading fluency. © 2010 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
Teacher- and school-level predictors of teacher efficacy and burnout: Identifying potential areas for supportElise T. Pas | Catherine P. Bradshaw | Patricia A. Hershfeldt
Volume 50, Issue 1, February 2012, Pages 129-145
Although several studies relate low teacher efficacy and high burnout to the quality of instruction and students' academic achievement, there has been limited research examining factors that predict teacher efficacy and burnout. The current study employed a longitudinal, multilevel modeling approach to examine the influence of teacher- and school-level factors on the development of both teacher efficacy and burnout. Data were collected 3 times across 2 academic years from 600 teachers at 31 elementary schools. The results indicated that both teacher efficacy and burnout increased over time. Teacher preparedness and perceptions of teacher affiliation and leadership were significantly associated with both the intercept and growth of teacher efficacy and burnout; however, school-level factors were generally unrelated to both outcomes. Implications for screenings and teacher-targeted interventions are discussed. © 2011 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
Distinguishing science from pseudoscience in school psychology: Science and scientific thinking as safeguards against human errorScott O. Lilienfeld | Rachel Ammirati | Michal David
Volume 50, Issue 1, February 2012, Pages 7-36
Like many domains of professional psychology, school psychology continues to struggle with the problem of distinguishing scientific from pseudoscientific and otherwise questionable clinical practices. We review evidence for the scientist-practitioner gap in school psychology and provide a user-friendly primer on science and scientific thinking for school psychologists. Specifically, we (a) outline basic principles of scientific thinking, (b) delineate widespread cognitive errors that can contribute to belief in pseudoscientific practices within school psychology and allied professions, (c) provide a list of 10 key warning signs of pseudoscience, illustrated by contemporary examples from school psychology and allied disciplines, and (d) offer 10 user-friendly prescriptions designed to encourage scientific thinking among school psychology practitioners and researchers. We argue that scientific thinking, although fallible, is ultimately school psychologists' best safeguard against a host of errors in thinking. © 2011 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
Does perceived teacher affective support matter for middle school students in mathematics classrooms?Gonul Sakiz | Stephen J. Pape | Anita Woolfolk Hoy
Volume 50, Issue 2, April 2012, Pages 235-255
The purpose of the present study was to explore the importance of perceived teacher affective support in relation to sense of belonging, academic enjoyment, academic hopelessness, academic self-efficacy, and academic effort in middle school mathematics classrooms. A self-report survey was administered to 317 seventh- and eighth-grade students in 5 public middle schools. Structural equation modeling indicated significant associations between perceived teacher affective support and middle school students' motivational, emotional, and behavioral outcomes. The structural model explained a significant proportion of variance in students' sense of belonging (42%), academic enjoyment (43%), self-efficacy beliefs (43%), academic hopelessness (18%), and academic effort (32%) in mathematics classrooms. In addition to providing the basis for a concise new measure of perceived teacher affective support, these findings point to the importance of students' perceptions of the affective climate within learning environments for promoting academic enjoyment, academic self-efficacy, and academic effort in mathematics. © 2011 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
Do girls and boys perceive themselves as equally engaged in school? The results of an international study from 12 countriesShui Fong Lam | Shane Jimerson | Eve Kikas | Carmel Cefai | Feliciano H.

This study examined gender differences in student engagement and academic performance in school. Participants included 3420 students (7th, 8th, and 9th graders) from Austria, Canada, China, Cyprus, Estonia, Greece, Malta, Portugal, Romania, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The results indicated that, compared to boys, girls reported higher levels of engagement in school and were rated higher by their teachers in academic performance. Student engagement accounted for gender differences in academic performance, but gender did not moderate the associations among student engagement, academic performance, or contextual supports. Analysis of multiple-group structural equation modeling revealed that perceptions of teacher support and parent support, but not peer support, were related indirectly to academic performance through student engagement. This partial mediation model was invariant across gender. The findings from this study enhance the understanding about the contextual and personal factors associated with girls' and boys' academic performance around the world. © 2011 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
Are boys better off with male and girls with female teachers? A multilevel investigation of measurement invariance and gender match in teacher-student relationship qualityJantine L. Spilt | Helma M Y Koomen | Suzanne Jak
Volume 50, Issue 3, June 2012, Pages 363-378
Although research consistently points to poorer teacher-student relationships for boys than girls, there are no studies that take into account the effects of teacher gender and control for possible measurement non-invariance across student and teacher gender. This study addressed both issues. The sample included 649 primary school teachers (182 men) and 1493 students (685 boys). Teachers completed a slightly adapted version of the Student-Teacher Relationship Scale. The results indicated limited measurement non-invariance in teacher reports. Female teachers reported better (i.e., more close, less conflictual, and less dependent) relationships with students than male teachers. In addition, both male and female teachers reported more conflictual relationships with boys than with girls, and female teachers also reported less close relationships with boys than with girls. The findings challenge society's presumption that male teachers have better relationships with boys than women teachers. © 2012 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
Curriculum-Based Measurement of Oral Reading: Multi-study evaluation of schedule, duration, and dataset quality on progress monitoring outcomesTheodore J. Christ | Cengiz Zopluoglu | Barbara D. Monaghen | Ethan R. Van Norman
Volume 51, Issue 1, February 2013, Pages 19-57
Curriculum-Based Measurement of Oral Reading (CBM-R) is used to collect time series data, estimate the rate of student achievement, and evaluate program effectiveness. A series of 5 studies were carried out to evaluate the validity, reliability, precision, and diagnostic accuracy of progress monitoring across a variety of progress monitoring durations, schedules, and dataset quality conditions. A sixth study evaluated the relation between the various conditions of progress monitoring (duration, schedule, and dataset quality) and the precision of weekly growth estimates. Model parameters were derived from a large extant progress monitoring dataset of second-grade (n= 1517) and third-grade students (n= 1561) receiving supplemental reading intervention as part of a Tier II response-to-intervention program. A linear mixed effects regression model was used to simulate true and observed CBM-R progress monitoring data. The validity and reliability of growth estimates were evaluated with squared correlations between true and observed scores along with split-half reliabilities of observed scores. The precision of growth estimates were evaluated with root mean square error between true and observed estimates of growth. Finally, receiver operator curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and optimize decision thresholds. Results are interpreted to guide progress monitoring practices and inform future research. © 2012 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
Peer and self-reports of victimization and bullying: Their differential association with internalizing problems and social adjustmentThijs Bouman | Matty van der Meulen | Frits A. Goossens | Tjeert Olthof | Marjolijn M. Vermande | Elisabeth A. Aleva
Volume 50, Issue 6, December 2012, Pages 759-774
Researchers typically employ either peer or self-reports to assess involvement in bullying. In this study, we examined the merits of each method for the identification of child characteristics related to victimization and bullying others. Accordingly, we investigated the difference between these two methods with regard to their relationship with social adjustment (i.e., perceived popularity, likeability, and self-perceived social acceptance) and internalizing problems (i.e., anxiety, depression, and self-worth) in 1192 Dutch school children, aged 9 to 12. years. Perceived popularity and likeability were more strongly correlated with peer reports than self-reports, for both victimization and for bullying others. Self-perceived social acceptance correlated equally strong with peer and self- reports of victimization. Furthermore, peer reports of bullying were also correlated with self-perceived social acceptance, whereas self-reports of bullying were not. All internalizing problems showed stronger relations with self-reports than peer reports; although only the relation between self-reported victimization and internalizing problems was of practical significance. Despite our findings indicating that using only one type of report could be efficient for examining the relation between bullying behaviors and separate child characteristics, both types of report are necessary for a complete understanding of the personal and social well-being of the children involved. © 2012 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
A systematic evidence review of school-based group contingency interventions for students with challenging behaviorDaniel M. Maggin | Austin H. Johnson | Sandra M. Chafouleas | Laura M. Ruberto | Melissa Berggren
Volume 50, Issue 5, October 2012, Pages 625-654
The purpose of this review was to synthesize the research underlying group contingency interventions to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support their use for managing the classroom behavior of students with behavioral difficulties. An application of the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) procedures for evaluating single-subject research revealed that the research investigating group contingencies demonstrated sufficient rigor, evidence, and replication to label the intervention as evidence-based. These findings were further supported across five quantitative indices of treatment effect. The results associated with the application of the WWC procedures and quantitative evaluations were supplemented with additional systematic coding of methodological features and study characteristics to evaluate the populations and conditions under which the effects of the group contingency best generalize. Findings associated with this coding revealed that the lack of detailed reporting across studies limited our ability to determine for whom and under what conditions group contingencies are best suited. © 2012 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
Influence of school-level variables on aggression and associated attitudes of middle school studentsDavid B. Henry | Albert D. Farrell | Michael E. Schoeny | Patrick H. Tolan | Allison B. Dymnicki
Volume 49, Issue 5, October 2011, Pages 481-503
This study sought to understand school-level influences on aggressive behavior and related social cognitive variables. Participants were 5106 middle school students participating in a violence prevention project. Predictors were school-level norms opposing aggression and favoring nonviolence, interpersonal climate (positive student-teacher relationships and positive student-student relationships), and school responsiveness to violence (awareness and reporting of violence and school safety problems). Outcomes were individual-level physical aggression, beliefs supporting aggression, and self-efficacy for nonviolent responses. School norms and both interpersonal climate variables had effects on all three outcomes in theorized directions. Only one of the responsiveness measures, awareness and reporting of violence, had theoretically consistent effects on all outcomes. The other, school safety problems, affected self-efficacy later in middle school. Evidence of gender moderation was generally consistent with greater influence of school-level factors on female adolescents. Discussion focuses on implications in light of previous research and intervention possibilities. © 2011 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
The impact of school connectedness on violent behavior, transport risk-taking behavior, and associated injuries in adolescenceRebekah L. Chapman | Lisa Buckley | Mary C. Sheehan | Ian M. Shochet | Madeline Romaniuk
Volume 49, Issue 4, August 2011, Pages 399-410
Adolescents engage in many risk-taking behaviors that have the potential to lead to injury. The school environment has a significant role in shaping adolescent behavior, and this study aimed to provide additional information about the benefits associated with connectedness to school. Early adolescents aged 13 to 15. years (N=509, 49% boys) were surveyed about school connectedness, engagement in transport and violence risk-taking, and injury experiences. Significant relations were found between school connectedness and reduced engagement in both transport and violence risk-taking, as well as fewer associated injuries. This study has implications for the area of risk-taking and injury prevention, as it suggests the potential for reducing adolescents' injury through school based interventions targeting school connectedness. © 2011 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
A longitudinal study of school connectedness and academic outcomes across sixth gradeKate Niehaus | Kathleen Moritz Rudasill | Christopher R. Rakes
Volume 50, Issue 4, August 2012, Pages 443-460
The current longitudinal study examines the extent to which school connectedness (i.e., students' perceptions of school support and the number of adults with whom they have a positive relationship) is associated with academic outcomes across sixth grade for students from high poverty neighborhoods. Data were collected from 330 sixth-grade students attending two middle schools in a large public school district. Specifically, students completed a survey to assess their perceived connection to the school environment, and academic information regarding students' grades, attendance, and discipline referrals was obtained from school records. Results from latent growth curve modeling showed that, on average, students' perceptions of school support declined significantly across the sixth-grade year. However, students who reported less decline, or growth, in school support across sixth grade had higher academic achievement at the end of the year than students who reported more decline in school support. Sixth-grade boys were at a greater risk for negative outcomes (i.e., lower school support, lower GPAs, and more discipline referrals) across the school year than girls. Results point to the importance of perceived connectedness to school in helping economically disadvantaged students experience a safe and successful transition to middle school. © 2012 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
Analysis and meta-analysis of single-case designs with a standardized mean difference statistic: A primer and applicationsWilliam R. Shadish | Larry V. Hedges | James E. Pustejovsky
Volume 52, Issue 2, April 2014, Pages 123-147
This article presents a d-statistic for single-case designs that is in the same metric as the d-statistic used in between-subjects designs such as randomized experiments and offers some reasons why such a statistic would be useful in SCD research. The d has a formal statistical development, is accompanied by appropriate power analyses, and can be estimated using user-friendly SPSS macros. We discuss both advantages and disadvantages of d compared to other approaches such as previous d-statistics, overlap statistics, and multilevel modeling. It requires at least three cases for computation and assumes normally distributed outcomes and stationarity, assumptions that are discussed in some detail. We also show how to test these assumptions. The core of the article then demonstrates in depth how to compute d for one study, including estimation of the autocorrelation and the ratio of between case variance to total variance (between case plus within case variance), how to compute power using a macro, and how to use the d to conduct a meta-analysis of studies using single-case designs in the free program R, including syntax in an appendix. This syntax includes how to read data, compute fixed and random effect average effect sizes, prepare a forest plot and a cumulative meta-analysis, estimate various influence statistics to identify studies contributing to heterogeneity and effect size, and do various kinds of publication bias analyses. This d may prove useful for both the analysis and meta-analysis of data from SCDs. © 2013 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
A comparison of mean phase difference and generalized least squares for analyzing single-case dataRumen Manolov | Antonio Solanas
Volume 51, Issue 2, April 2013, Pages 201-215
The present study focuses on single-case data analysis specifically on two procedures for quantifying differences between baseline and treatment measurements. The first technique tested is based on generalized least square regression analysis and is compared to a proposed non-regression technique, which allows obtaining similar information. The comparison is carried out in the context of generated data representing a variety of patterns including both independent and serially related measurements arising from different underlying processes. Heterogeneity in autocorrelation and data variability was also included, as well as different types of trend, and slope and level changes. The results suggest that the two techniques perform adequately for a wide range of conditions and that researchers can use both of them with certain guarantees. The regression-based procedure offers more efficient estimates, whereas the proposed non-regression procedure is more sensitive to intervention effects. Considering current and previous findings, some tentative recommendations are offered to applied researchers in order to help choosing among the plurality of single-case data analysis techniques. © 2012 Society for the Study of School Psychology.
