<p>Research on psychopathy in adolescence has increased substantially over the last two decades. The majority of this research has focussed on the developmental trajectory of psychopathy and the predictive reliability for future offending (Lynam et al., 2007). There has been a recent shift towards an understanding of potential protective factors that may act as a buffer against negative outcomes for young people with psychopathic characteristics. Attachment has been proposed as one of these potential mediators (Saltaris, 2002). The current research hypothesised that attachment to parents and peers would act as a mediator between psychopathy and self-reported delinquency. Two separate populations were sampled, undergraduate university students (predominantly late adolescent and young adult), and high school students (adolescents aged 16 to18). Participants completed self-report measures of psychopathy, delinquency and attachment to peers and parents, with the university sample doing so at three separate time points. Results indicate that attachment to parents, but not peers, acted as a significant protective factor, reducing the strength of the relationship between psychopathy and delinquency for the university sample only. This finding was stable over a 16-week period. Although male participants reported higher levels of psychopathy than females across both samples, undergraduate females report increasing levels of primary psychopathy over the three time points. Additionally, high-school females report significantly higher levels of primary psychopathy than university females. The focus on adolescent self-report psychopathy is a first in this country. While further research is needed in this area, these findings point to the significance of bonds between adolescents and their caregivers.</p>

It is estimated that 15-22% of students have high levels of test anxiety (von der Embse, Jester, Roy, & Post, 2018), which can be associated with greater academic stress and poorer educational performance (e.g., Steinmayr, Crede, McElvany, & Withwein, 2016). First-generation students (where neither parent has completed post-secondary education) are a critical group to study given that they are at higher risk for poorer educational attainment and being unsuccessful at the post-secondary level. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the link between basic psychological needs and test anxiety in a sample of first-generation Ontario high school students across two points in time (N = 147;  Mage = 14.82, SD = 1.28). Self-report data was collected as a part of an on-going longitudinal study focusing on students attending a high school with specialized programming to enhance the transition to post-secondary institutions. Results from cross-lagged path analyses indicated that being older, female, and having higher levels of needs frustration significantly predicted higher levels of test anxiety over time within this sample. Our results highlight important educational implications, emphasizing the importance of fostering classroom environments where students perceive their psychological needs to be met, particularly within this unique population of students.

High Distress

SynopsisEmotional distress as assessed by the self-report Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL) was examined in a sample of 607 urban black high school students aged 15–18. These adolescents reported high distress primarily about feelings of disadvantage, volatile anger, interpersonal sensitivity and loneliness. Females were significantly more likely than males to indicate emotional distress, although several of the leading distress items were endorsed equally by both groups. Male and female scores across the HSCL factors differed in degree rather than form. The great majority of these adolescents didnotreport significant emotional distress. These data provide a base from a non-clinical sample for comparison with other adolescent groups where emotional distress may play a role.

Covid-19 are one of the viruses that were widely spreaded in 2019 and are still separate until nowadays. Thailand is one of the countries that are highly infected. The majority of people who are infected with this virus tend to have mild to severe respiratory symptoms. Furthermore, anyone can get sick, and it can lead to death. However, the most common symptoms of this virus are fever, cough, tiredness, and loss of taste or smell, on the other hand, characteristics in a minority of people, such as diarrhea and headaches. Due to the impact of the Covid-19 virus, people have to change their lifestyle to the online form. These changes have impacted mostly on economics and education in particular countries, so this problem also affects anxiety among high school students; who must prepare to apply to the university during the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, we have collected 151 answers from high school students by surveying in order to know the feelings for entrance to the university during the pandemic situation. We found out that 81.3% of the students are highly affected by covid, and only 0.7% of students are slightly affected. We also found out that 55% of the students are worried about university entrance, and only 2.6% of the students were not worried at all. According to the result, most of the students in Thailand are facing the problem about their education and their entrance for the university which are caused by Covid-19. This may lead to illnesses like depression and anxiety. Keywords: Students, Learning, COVID-19, Thailand, University.

A dental questionnaire survey conducted on 34 high school students, 55 university students, 23 Middle-age who participated in the university festival. Participants answered yes or no to ten self-administered questions. Also, participants described the hardness of meals, brushing teeth after meals, and time to spend eating in a questionnaire. As a result, some students even had some guminflammation. Middle –Ages had many people who had experience with swollen gums (52.2%). Of the participants, the Middle Ages were few who applied fluorine (17.4%), and many were students (high school students 64.7%, university students 90.9%). Most people brush their teeth after breakfast or dinner. Participants replied that they usually eat a little hard (52.0%) or soft (38.1%) food. One high school student replied that he usually eats soft food. The time to eat was longer than breakfast and then dinner, but it was less than 30 minutes ever for dinner. Middle-Ages ad an average time to spend eating of fewer than 10 minutes for breakfast, 14 minutes for lunch, and 22 minutes for dinner. Middle ages had shorter meal times in all than students. Form the results of the participants; we wondered if they did not chew food very well because they eat soft food in a short time.

No presente trabalho, visamos ampliar discussões acerca das diferentes faces da interação Universidade-Escola, com base na apresentação de relatos de experiências sobre o Projeto Primeiros Passos na Ciência e em reflexões teóricas sobre o contexto universitário, motivadas pela prática vivenciada. O projeto em questão foi desenvolvido por alunos de pós-graduação em Ciências Biológicas (Biologia Celular e Molecular) da UNESP, Campus de Rio Claro-SP em parceria com a Escola Estadual Prof. Marciano de Toledo Piza, de ensino médio, da cidade de Rio Claro, estado de São Paulo. Este projeto teve o objetivo de introduzir o aluno do Ensino Médio no cotidiano da pesquisa universitária na área de Biologia Celular e Molecular, com a expectativa de promover a aproximação destes alunos com o desenvolvimento do conhecimento científico e o ambiente universitário. Com a realização desse projeto, a Universidade teve a chance de adentrar no contexto dos alunos de Educação Básica, mais especificamente do Ensino Médio público. Esses novos conhecimentos podem criar a possibilidade de um futuro diferente, com mais conhecimentos científicos e instigando a reflexão a partir da rotina da Universidade e seu contexto. A experiência resultou na divulgação científica, no contato do aluno do Ensino Médio com o método científico e toda a técnica e objetividade que dele derivam, ampliando os laços comunidade-universidade. Palavras-chave: Educação; Extensão; Vivência; Experimento Científico   Project First Steps in Science: breaking social barriers and strengthening ties between the academic community and public high schools Abstract: In the present study, we intend to expand the discussion about different approaches of the University-School interaction, based on the presentation of an account of experiences with the First Steps in Science Project and theoretical reflections on the University context motivated by the lived experience. The project in question was developed by graduate students in Biological Sciences (Cell and Molecular Biology) at UNESP, Rio Claro/SP (Brazil), in partnership with Escola Estadual Prof. Marciano de Toledo Piza a public high school in the city of Rio Claro, State of São Paulo. This project had the objective of introducing high school students to the routine of university research in the area of Cell and Molecular Biology, with the expectation of promoting the approximation of these students with the development of scientific knowledge and the university environment. With the realization of this project, the University had the opportunity to better understand the primary education context of the students, specifically within public high schools. This new knowledge can create the possibility of a different future, with more scientific properties and instigating the reflection from the routine of the University and its context. The experience resulted in scientific dissemination, high school students' contact with the scientific method, and all the technique and objectivity derived from it, expanding community-university ties.
