We conducted this study to determine the relationship between math preference and mastery for five middle school students
with autism spectrum disorders. We randomly presented several math addition and subtraction problem formats to determine the
students’ preferences. Results indicated that preference was idiosyncratic across students. In addition, preference was not
related to mastery in some students. Results are discussed within a theoretical framework of matching law. Implications for
practitioners are discussed.

Research on academic learning indicates that many students experience major difficulties with introductory statistics and
methodology courses. We hypothesized that students’ difficulties may depend in part on the fact that statistics tasks are
commonly viewed as related to the threatening domain of math. In two field experiments which we carried out in the ecological
context of introductory statistics courses, the representation of a statistics task administered to undergraduate students
in Psychology (Study 1; n = 127) and Biology (Study 2; n = 166) was manipulated. In both studies we found that students who reported the least favorable prior attainments in math
had their performance thwarted when the task was presented as related to the math domain, whereas no performance impairment
was observed when the task was presented as related to the verbal/linguistic domain. Implications of the findings for the
design and delivery of introductory statistics and research methodology courses are discussed.

Relatively little is known about the factor structure of disruptive behavior among preadolescent girls. The present study
reports on exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of disruptive girl behavior over four successive data waves as rated
by parents and teachers in a large, representative community sample of girls (N = 2,451). Five factors were identified from parent ratings (oppositional behavior/conduct problems, inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity,
relational aggression, and callous-unemotional behaviors), and four factors were identified derived from teacher ratings (oppositional
behavior/conduct problems/callous-unemotional behaviors, inattention, hyperactivityimpulsivity, and relational aggression).
There was a high degree of consistency of items loading on equivalent factors across parent and teacher ratings. Year-to-year
stability of factors between ages five and 12 was high for parent ratings (ICC = 0.70 to 0.88), and slightly lower for teacher
ratings (ICC = 0.56 to 0.83). These findings are discussed in terms of possible adjustment to the criteria for children's
disruptive behavior disorders found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders.

In this paper we discuss visualizations in mathematics from a historical and didactical perspective. We consider historical
debates from the 17th and 19th centuries regarding the role of intuition and visualizations in mathematics. We also consider
the problem of what a visualization in mathematical learning can achieve. In an empirical study we investigate what mathematical
conclusions university students made on the basis of a visualization. We emphasize that a visualization in mathematics should
always be considered in its proper context.

In this introduction we discuss the motivation behind the workshop “Towards a New Epistemology of Mathematics” of which this
special issue constitutes the proceedings. We elaborate on historical and empirical aspects of the desired new epistemology,
connect it to the public image of mathematics, and give a summary and an introduction to the contributions to this issue.

Several studies indicate that students who are involved in extracurricular activities during college are more academically
successful than are those who are not; however, most studies do not distinguish between different types of activities nor
do they adequately consider the unique experiences of under-represented college students. Drawing on Ogbu’s theory of oppositional
culture and Tinto’s theory of educational departure, I examine the effect of involvement in six different types of student
organizations, as well as involvement in a co-ethnic student organization, on the academic performance of African American
and Latino college students attending 27 different selective colleges. I find that student organizations differentially affect
academic performance, depending on the type of organization and the race and gender of the students.

This article concerns the importance of teaching moral reasoning and ethical leadership to all undergraduate students and
in particular makes the case that students in business especially need familiarity with these capacities and theories given
the complex world in which they will find themselves. The corollary to this analysis is the claim that content on moral reasoning
and ethical leadership be mandatory for all business majors and that all degrees require course material on these subjects.

Starting from the observation that small children can count more objects than numbers—a phenomenon that I am calling the “lifeworld
dependency of cognition”—and an analysis of finger calculation, the paper shows how learning can be explained as the development
of cognitive systems. Parts of those systems are not only an individual’s different forms of knowledge and cognitive abilities,
but also other people, things, and signs. The paper argues that cognitive systems are first of all semiotic systems since
they are dependent on signs and representations as mediators. The two main questions discussed here are how the external world
constrains and promotes the development of cognitive abilities, and how we can move from cognitive abilities that are necessarily
connected with concrete situations to abstract knowledge.

We examined the effects of professor reputation versus first impressions on student evaluations of instruction. Students in
19 Psychology courses completed course evaluation surveys either before meeting the instructor or 2 weeks into the semester.
Both groups then completed the course evaluation again at the end of the semester. Unlike evaluations completed prior to meeting
the professor, students’ ratings 2 weeks into the semester did not differ from end-of-semester evaluations. Therefore, students
considered first impressions more important than professor reputation as determinants of their end-of-the semester evaluations.
Results suggest that students form lasting impressions within the first 2 weeks of classes.

The author extrapolated from both achievement goal and reference group theories to predict that relative to untracked settings,
tracking (a) highlights the importance of ability relative to others and will thus increase students’ ego orientations and
reluctance to ask the teacher for help and (b) creates different contexts for social comparison and will thus undermine help
seeking among high achievers but may enhance help seeking among low achievers. A quasi-experimental study compared students
at ages 10–12 in elementary schools that either tracked students only in math (N = 337) or did not track students in any subject (N = 594). Students completed self-report measures of achievement goals and help seeking in math class. Results confirmed
that, over all levels of ability, tracking increased ego and work avoidance goals and did not affect task goals. Tracking
undermined help seeking among high achievers, but did not enhance help seeking among low achievers. In addition to revealing
some hitherto unstudied costs of tracking, the results highlight the importance of considering grouping practices in research
on student motivation and strategies and of applying theory and research on student motivation to understanding the influences
of tracking.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between spirituality and health risks of college students.
Methods Undergraduate students enrolled in Personal Health and Wellness classes at The University of Tennessee were selected to participate
in the study. Two-hundred twenty-one students were administered two instruments: The College Student Appraisal of Risks Survey
(The CARS) and the Spirituality Scale (SS).
Results Significant relationships between self-reported levels of spirituality and the health of college students were indicated during
the study.
Conclusions College students integrating a spiritual component while processing decisions about risks that could negatively affect their
health experienced better health outcomes. The significance of the study is that this research is an important step toward
understanding the role that spirituality plays in the various dimensions of health in young adults.

This essay explores changing attitudes towards male caregivers in postwar America to understand conceptions of prepubescent
gender and sexuality. While the 1950s have been viewed as a period of rigid gender conventions, the demands of a baby boom
generation allowed men unexpected roles as caregivers. In the 1960s and 1970s, challenges to the status quo along with fears
of female-headed households encouraged men to move into the field of child care, but this was particularly short lived. Political
backlash and a failing economy turned male daycare workers into suspects, revealing the ambiguity that so often distorts children’s
interactions with men.

We used a large sample of singleton children to estimate the effects of socioeconomic status (SES), race/ethnicity, gender,
additional socio-demographics, gestational and birth factors, and parenting on children’s risk for learning-related behavior
problems at 24 months of age. We investigated to what extent these factors increased a child’s risk of displaying inattention,
a lack of task persistence, disinterest, non-cooperation, or frustration as he or she completed a series of cognitive and
physical tasks with a non-caregiver. Results indicated that boys are about twice as likely as girls to display learning-related
behavior problems. Children from lower SES households are about twice as likely as those from high SES households to display
such behavior problems, which is largely attributable to the effects of having a mother with a low educational level. Statistically
controlling for these factors, we found consistently significant patterns of elevated learning-related behavior problems for
some Asian and Native American children. Results for African-American children were mixed. Hispanic children did not have
consistently elevated risks of problem behaviors. Only small portions of these effects are explained by variation in the children’s
gestational or birth characteristics. A significant portion, but still less than half of the socio-demographic effects are
attributable to measured features of the children’s parenting. This study helps provide population-based estimates of children’s
risk for learning-related behavior problems while at an age when early interventions are most effective.

Spiritual practices are increasingly accommodated by therapists working with religious couples. While research documents potential
benefits, spiritual practices such as prayer may invoke an interpretive couple-God relationship distorted by pathogenic processes
in one or both spouses. A survey administered to 78 religious couples examined the influence of power/gender as it relates
to couples’ harmful triangulation with Deity. Results suggest that harmful triangulation with Deity does occur to some degree
in couple relationships, that there are significant differences by gender, and that spouses’ tendencies to triangulate are
correlated with one another. We discuss these results from a systemic-feminist perspective, and offer some clinical applications
for working with religious couples.
