Trait Impulsivity

Behavioral incentives have been used to encourage smoking cessation in older adolescents, but the acceptability of incentives to promote a smoke-free lifestyle in younger adolescents is unknown. To inform the development of novel, effective, school-based interventions for youth, we assessed middle school students’ interest in participating in an incentive-based tobacco abstinence program. We surveyed 988 students (grades 6–8) attending three Connecticut middle schools to determine whether interest in program participation varied as a function of (1) intrapersonal factors (i.e., demographic characteristics (sex, age, race), smoking history, and trait impulsivity) and/or (2) aspects of program design (i.e., prize type, value, and reward frequency). Primary analyses were conducted using multiple regression. A majority of students (61.8%) reported interest in program participation. Interest did not vary by gender, smoking risk status, or offering cash prizes. However, younger students, non-Caucasian students, behaviorally impulsive students, and students with higher levels of self-regulation were more likely to report interest. Inexpensive awards (e.g., video games) offered monthly motivated program interest. In sum, middle school students reported high levels of interest in an incentive-based program to encourage a tobacco-free lifestyle. These formative data can inform the design of effective, incentive-based smoking cessation and prevention programs in middle schools.

Class Level

In this research, it is aimed to explore how students are able to define parallelogram and to establish relations withother quadrilaterals at each class level comparatively. Case study is chosen as the methodology of this study and theparticipants of the study are 120 middle school students from a state middle school in Turkey. Two open-endedquestions are used to gather data and the descriptive analysis is used. The results of the study show that the studentsdetermine parallelogram based on its typical image. Furthermore, students have not fully grasp the hierarchicalrelation between these special quadrilaterals in their minds.
