The GROW Project: Building the world's largest and most in-depth psychological study

The article considers the peculiarities of the application of innovative methods of psychological and pedagogical diagnosis of children with disabilities. Psychodiagnostic examination is organized taking into account the age and expected level of mental development of the child. These indicators determine the organizational forms of the diagnostic procedure, the choice of methods and interpretation of results. Diagnostic tasks should be available to the child. During the examination, the child must be offered a task that he can successfully perform, and in the analysis of the results, taking into account the tasks for which age group, the child coped. It is separately noted that at inspection it is important to reveal not only actual possibilities of the child, but also its potential possibilities in the form of a zone of the nearest development. This is achieved by offering tasks of varying complexity and providing the child with dosed assistance during the tasks. Strict scientificity is required in the selection of diagnostic tasks for each age stage, ie the examination should use those tasks that can identify which aspects of mental activity are violated in the examined child. It is emphasized that when processing and interpreting the results it is necessary to give their qualitative and quantitative characteristics, while the system of qualitative and quantitative indicators should be unambiguous for all examined children. It is noted that conducting psychodiagnostic research is always subject to a specific goal, which determines the ways to solve certain problems. The main purpose of psychodiagnostic research of a child with developmental disorders is to identify the structure of mental disorders to determine the optimal ways of correctional care. The specific task is determined by the age of the child, the presence or absence of disorders of vision, hearing, musculoskeletal system, social situation, stage of diagnosis (screening, differential diagnosis, in-depth psychological study). Psychological and pedagogical diagnosis of developmental disorders should determine the direction of the child's education, his specific educational needs, the possible level of his education, indicate the main directions of correctional and developmental education, ie psychological and pedagogical diagnosis of developmental disorders is differential prognostic. In the process of diagnosis, the optimal organizational forms of the child's education and recommendations of individual planned learning should be determined. child to develop an individual correctional program, evaluation of the effectiveness of corrective measures). To obtain informative and objective results of psychological study of the child it is necessary to adhere to a number of special conditions Key words: innovation, diagnostics, correction, lag, training.

Perceptions And Expectations

This paper focuses on processes and consequences of intergroup interactions in plural societies, focusing primarily on majority-minority mutuality in acculturation orientations. We examine commonalities and differences among conceptualizations and models addressing issues of mutuality. Our review includes the mutual acculturation model ( Berry, 1997 ), the Interactive Acculturation Model (IAM – Bourhis et al., 1997 ), the Concordance Model of Acculturation (CMA – Piontkowski et al., 2002 ); the Relative Acculturation Extended Model (RAEM – Navas et al., 2005 ), and the work on acculturation discrepancies conducted by Horenczyk (1996 , 2000 ). We also describe a trend toward convergence of acculturation research and the socio-psychological study of intergroup relations addressing issues of mutuality in attitudes, perceptions, and expectations. Our review has the potential to enrich the conceptual and methodological toolbox needed for understanding and investigating acculturation in complex modern societies, where majorities and minorities, immigrants and nationals, are engaged in continuous mutual contact and interaction, affecting each other’s acculturative choices and acculturative expectations.

Momentary Assessment

Abstract. The mixed-effects location scale model is an extension of a multilevel model for longitudinal data. It allows covariates to affect both the within-subject variance and the between-subject variance (i.e., the intercept variance) beyond their influence on the means. Typically, the model is applied to two-level data (e.g., the repeated measurements of persons), although researchers are often faced with three-level data (e.g., the repeated measurements of persons within specific situations). Here, we describe an extension of the two-level mixed-effects location scale model to such three-level data. Furthermore, we show how the suggested model can be estimated with Bayesian software, and we present the results of a small simulation study that was conducted to investigate the statistical properties of the suggested approach. Finally, we illustrate the approach by presenting an example from a psychological study that employed ecological momentary assessment.
