This study examines the relationships between self-perception, social skills, overall adjustment, and social inhibition in 45 young adolescents with craniofacial anomalies (CFA). Self-perception, social skills, and inhibition scores are within the normal range while the average adjustment is 1.5 SD below the average. Regression analyses were conducted. Social skills and athletic competence are the best predictors of adjustment and accounted for 73.5% of the variance in adjustment. Adjustment of adolescents is associated with degree of inhibition, with more poorly adjusted adolescents displaying greater inhibition. Self-esteem did not predict to adjustment. The theoretical and clinical implications of these findings are discussed.

What is the difference between information and data? Understanding how information can be alchemized into useful data is a key to survival in the Information Age.
A computer program was developed to collect solution protocols with written explanations, with a level of detail difficult to obtain with traditional pencil-and-paper tasks. The program automatically presents the instructions, problems, solution entered, changes to the solution, explanation prompts, solution feedback, and system help in a Windows environment. The time to make each move and type each explanation is recorded, making it possible to compare solution times across treatment groups. Protocols are stored in individual ASCII files, eliminating transcription, and a summary data set for all protocols is created. The program was tested in a study where individual protocols were collected in small groups. This program can readily be adapted to different experimental contexts and can be a useful educational tool.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
