Research consistently finds that fathers who take time off work when their children are born exhibit higher levels of paternal engagement relative to fathers who do not take time off work. This study aims to identify one possible mediating factor: fathers’ co-residence with their children and their children’s biological mothers over time. The current study uses data from the Fragile Families and Wellbeing Study and structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships between fathers’ time off work when their children were born, residence with their children and their children’s biological mothers, and levels of father-child engagement ( n = 2,453). Results indicated that the number of weeks taken off work was positively associated with men’s subsequent residence with their children and children’s mothers when their children were five-years-old, which in turn was positively associated with paternal engagement.

Over Time

This research broadens the study of trust as it applies to developing stable relationships in electronic environments. Prior studies have investigated many aspects of trust, but few have looked at its incremental development. Previous empirical research identifies antecedents to initial perceptions of trust that may influence the progression of trust to deeper levels. More conceptual work identifies antecedents that swiftly cultivate trust, allowing for stable relationships to develop more quickly. The antecedents investigated in this study, using regression and structural equation modeling, are the use of security symbols, trustworthy brand names, and personalization techniques. The results of the study indicate that the use of security symbols and trustworthy brand names have a positive and lasting effect on trusting beliefs and that personalization has a decreasing and lasting effect on trusting beliefs. There was no support for the hypothesis that trust develops over time in electronic environments.

Abstract Objective We measured how puberty impacted inhibition over three years. We hypothesized that age and puberty development would predict inhibition at each time point. Results revealed differential effects of puberty and age over time. Method Participants from Southern Idaho were 245 adolescents at Time 1 (T1) (M = 10.4, SD = 1.5, 50% female, 64% Caucasian), 196 adolescents at Time 2 (T2) (M = 11.8, SD = 1.5, 50% female, 81% Caucasian), and 87 adolescents at Time 3 (T3) (M = 13, SD = 1.5, 56% female, 82% Caucasian). Participants completed a physical exam with a registered nurse, which included the Tanner Scale (Apter & Hermanson, 2002; Tinggaard et. al., 2012) and the Puberty Development Scale (Petersen et al., 1988). Inhibition was assessed using stop-signal reaction time (SSRT) within the Stop-it Task (Logan, Cowan, & Davis, 1984). Results Using structural equation modeling, for T1, the overall model demonstrated a good fit, χ2(3) = 1.23, p = .75, RMSEA = .00, CFI = 1.00, TLI = 1.04. Puberty significantly predicted inhibition (β = -.21, p < .05), i.e., higher puberty scores predicted stronger inhibition. However, age was not a significant predictor. At T2, the model demonstrated a good fit, χ2(7) = 7.77, p = .35, RMSEA = .03, CFI = 1.00, TLI = .99. Age significantly predicted inhibition (β=-.39, p < .001). However, puberty was not a significant predictor. In T3, neither age nor puberty predicted inhibition. Conclusions Our results indicate that early adolescent increases in inhibition may be due to puberty development rather than age. As one ages, puberty has less effect, and chronological age becomes more significant. Finally, in mid-adolescence, neither age nor puberty significantly affects inhibition. These findings highlight the changing effects of age and puberty on inhibitory control across adolescence.

Tujuan – Walaupun pendidikan tahfiz berkembang pesat mutakhir ini, pencapaian hafazan al-Quran di institusi tahfiz didapati masih kurang memberangsangkan. Salah satu faktor kelemahan pencapaian hafazan dipercayai berpunca daripada kelemahan memahami makna ayat al-Quran dalam kalangan pelajar tahfiz. Walaupun banyak kajian telah dijalankan, namun terdapat jurang pengetahuan tentang faktor di sebalik masalah kefahaman al-Quran. Sementara itu, beberapa sarjana Islam didapati menekankan pengajaran bahasa Arab dalam sistem pendidikan tahfiz. Justeru, kajian ini meneroka kepentingan skemata bahasa Arab dalam meramal pencapaian hafazan melalui kefahaman al-Quran. Metodologi – Dengan mengambil pendekatan kuantitatif, kajian ini menyelidiki pengaruh skemata bahasa Arab terhadap pencapaian hafazan dalam kalangan pelajar tahfiz yang mempunyai latar belakang pengajian bahasa Arab. Faktor pengantara, iaitu kefahaman al-Quran turut diteliti. Kajian dijalankan terhadap 246 sampel dari empat buah institusi tahfiz di Malaysia yang mensyaratkan pelajar mempunyai skemata bahasa Arab pada peringkat Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui teknik ujian bagi mengukur tahap skemata bahasa Arab yang terdiri daripada nahu, saraf dan kosa kata, tahap kefahaman al-Quran dan juga pencapaian hafazan. Dapatan – Hasil analisis menggunakan Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) dan prosedur Bootstrapping menunjukkan bahawa skemata bahasa Arab mempunyai kesan langsung dan kesan tidak langsung terhadap pencapaian hafazan melalui kefahaman al-Quran. Signifikan – Dapatan kajian ini menjelaskan bahawa skemata bahasa Arab dan kefahaman al-Quran menjadi faktor peramal yang relevan terhadap pencapaian hafazan. Kata kunci: skemata Arab, kefahaman al-Quran, pencapaian hafazan, nahu, kosa kata. ABSTRACT Purpose – Even though tahfiz education has been developing tremendously lately, memorisation achievement of the Quran at tahfiz institutions is still not very encouraging. One factor leading to this situation among tahfiz students is believed to originate from their weakness in understanding the meaning of Quranic phrases. Despite the fact that a lot of research has been carried out, there still exists a knowledge gap about the factors underpinning the problem of understanding the Quran. In the meantime, a few Islamic scholars have been found to be emphasising on the teaching of the Arabic language in the tahfiz education system. Thus, this research is aimed at exploring the importance of the Arabic language schemata in predicting memorisation achievement through understanding of the Quran. Methodology – Utilising the quantitative approach, this research explores the influence of the Arabic language schemata in memorisation achievement among tahfiz students who possess knowledge of the Arabic language. The mediating factor, which is the understanding of the Quran was investigated. Research was carried out on 246 samples from four tahfiz institutions in Malaysia that had made it compulsory for students to possess the Arabic language schemata at Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) level. Data collection was carried out through testing techniques to measure the Arabic language schemata level that comprised of nahu (Arabic syntax), saraf (Arabic morphology) and vocabulary, the understanding level of the Quran and also memorisation achievement. Findings – The results of the analysis using the Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Bootstrapping procedure showed that the Arabic language schemata had direct and indirect effects on memorisation achievement through understanding of the Quran. Significance – The findings of this research clearly show that the Arabic language schemata and understanding of the Quran are relevant predicting factors for memorisation achievement. Keywords: Arabic language schemata, understanding of the Quran, memorisation achievement, syntax, vocabulary.

Abstract Recent studies have shown that worry and related negative metacognitions are characteristic in generalized anxiety and paranoia respectively. However, most of these studies did not take into account common co-occurrence of anxiety and paranoia, and longitudinal modelling of the role of worry and metacognitions on the development of anxiety and paranoia is rare. The current study aimed at examining the bidirectional longitudinal relationship between anxiety and paranoia, as well as the importance of worry and metacognitions in the development of these symptoms. Our validated sample consisted of 2291 participants recruited from universities, among whom 1746 participants (76.21%) completed online questionnaires at baseline and at one year, reporting levels of anxiety, paranoia, worry, and negative metacognitions. Structural equation modeling analyses, followed by path comparisons, revealed that anxiety and paranoia mutually reinforced each other over time. Negative metacognitions, rather than worry itself, were contributive to the development of both symptoms over time. Negative metacognitions showed bi-directional relationships with anxiety over the time period assessed and showed uni-directional relationships with paranoia. Clinical implications of our findings are discussed.

<p>The current study aimed to test and validate a proposed model of the impact of the administrative leadership on customer satisfaction. This model included an external factor which is the administrative leadership, and an internal factor which is the customer satisfaction. The study also aimed to determine the role of human resource training as a mediating factor between the administrative leadership and customer satisfaction. For achieving these research objectives, the study used a quantitative approach to analyzing the data through the use of the structural equation modeling (SEM-AMOS) to test the validity of the proposed research model. The study achieved several results, the most important of which was that the administrative leadership had a positive impact on customer satisfaction. The study also provided evidence of the positive impact of the administrative leadership on customer satisfaction through its positive impact on the training of human resources, which was used as a mediating factor.</p>
