Disorganized attachment has been proposed as a mediating mechanism in the relation between childhood abuse and dissociation. However, support for mediation has been mixed when interview or self-report measures of attachment have been used. In the current work, relations among severity of abuse, attachment disorganization, and dissociation were assessed in young adulthood using both interview and interaction-based measures of attachment. A total of 112 low-income young adults were assessed for so

This paper investigates South Korean educational responses to school closures amid the COVID-19 pandemic, viewed with a risk and resilience framework. The COVID-19 crisis emerged and worsened right before the beginning of the new school year (March 2) in South Korea, and immediately led to students’ limited access to educational facilities. Well-established IT infrastructure and national curriculum facilitated the adoption of distance learning in South Korean schools. However, educational inequa

Introduction Psychological wellbeing is an essential indicator of early care and education (ECE) teachers’ positive practices across countries. Moreover, previous studies suggest that teachers’ wellbeing and practice may be indirectly associated via emotion regulation. However, teachers in various contexts demonstrate different patterns of psychological wellbeing, emotion regulation, and emotional responsiveness, and the ways these factors associate with each other also vary. Methods The current

ObjectiveThe present study assessed whether the often reported relation between childhood abuse and the extent of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) features would be mediated by Hostile–Helpless (HH) and/or Unresolved (U) states of mind on the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI).MethodOne hundred and three young adults from low- to moderate-income families were assessed for HH and U states of mind on the AAI, psychopathology on the SCID I and II, and c

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, cases of discrimination and hate crimes against minority populations including international students have soared in the U.S. This study explores the relationship between international students’ perceived discrimination and their self-reported overall health and the role of social support and positive emotions in such relationship. In total, 203 international students studying at two U.S. universities participated in an online survey. The results indi

Abstract The quality of early care and education (ECE) is related to early childhood teachers’ positive work attitudes, as prior research suggests committed and satisfied educators provide effective support and instruction to children. It is important to understand the relationships between psychological and physical factors in relation to teachers’ commitment and satisfaction, especially those working within systematically marginalized communities. Using a sample of 166 Head Start teachers, pre

Early care and education (ECE) teachers play a significant role in creating the social and emotional learning climate in the classroom. The present qualitative study explores short and long-term outcomes of Social Emotional Learning for Teachers (SELF-T), an online intervention that was delivered as part of a comprehensive professional development program and aimed at promoting ECE teachers’ social-emotional competence and well-being through their knowledge and practice of stress-management and

Research Findings: Occupational stress among educators in early care and education (ECE) has emerged as a critical focus in ECE workforce development, given its detrimental effects on teaching practices and educators’ well-being. This study used improvement science-based intervention data to investigate the sources and underlying causes of occupational stress collectively experienced by teams of Head Start educators. Data were collected from 113 educators across four Head Start grantees through

본 연구는 한국 영유아교사의 신체 건강에 관한 연구 동향을 종합적으로 분석하고, 후속연구의 기초자료를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구는 2002년부터 2024년 3월까지 발표된 영유아교사 신체 건강 관련 국내 학술지 논문 64편을 대상으로 하였으며, 연구 시기, 대상, 분야, 방법, 주제를 분석하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 영유아교사 신체 건강에 관한 연구는 2000년대에 들어 약 십여년 동안 매우 극소수의 연구가 이루어졌으며 2013년도 이후부터 연구가 점차 증가했으나 여전히 매년 평균 2~4편에 그쳐 제한적이었다. 둘째, 연구대상으로는 보육교사가 가장 많았으며, 예비교사가 그 뒤를 이었다. 셋째, 연구 분야는 주로 영유아 관련 학문에 집중되었으지만, 보건과학, 체육, 영양학 분야에서도 활발하게 연구가 진행되었다. 넷째, 연구방법은 양적 연구, 특히 설문조사 방식이 주를 이루었으며, 신체적 측정이나 관찰을 통한 연구는 매우 적었다. 다섯째, 연구 주제로는 건강 증진

In this exploratory study, we used a person-centered approach to examine 117 U.S. early childhood and elementary school teachers’ perceptions of their social and emotional practices within an evidence-based framework. A latent profile analysis revealed a 4-profile model with four distinct groups. Teachers’ level of education and years of experience were associated with lower or higher perceptions of child behavior. Results reveal how teachers’ perceptions of their social and emotional implementa
