“…We used the standardized scale scores from each of the four subscales; intercorrelations ranged from r = .26 to .56. Internal consistency has been previously reported in both the English and Spanish versions of the parent-report for children aged 3-7, with alphas ranging from .77 (sadness) to .85 (anger) in the English version (Salsman et al, 2013) and .66 (fearoveranxious) to .71 (fear-separation anxiety; Fox et al, 2021).…”

Many children in immigrant households endure unique stressors shaped by national, state, and local immigration policies and enforcement activity in the United States. Qualitative studies find that during times of heightened immigration enforcement, children as young as 3 years of age show signs of behavioral distress related to national anti-immigrant sentiment and the possibility of losing a parent. Using multiple sources of data from 168 racially and ethnically diverse families of children in pre-Kindergarten, the present study examined variability in perceived levels of immigration enforcement threat by parental immigrant status and ethnicity. This study examined associations between immigration enforcement threat and child mental health, self-regulation, and executive functioning and whether parent immigrant status or child gender moderates these associations. We found substantial variability in perceived immigration threat, with immigrant parents and Latinx parents reporting significantly greater levels of immigration threat compared to nonimmigrant parents and non-Latinx parents. Immigration enforcement threat was associated with greater child separation anxiety and overanxious behaviors, and lower self-regulation among boys and girls and among children of immigrant and U.S.-born parents. In contrast to our hypothesis, immigration enforcement threat was associated with higher self-regulation according to independent assessor ratings. Educators and healthcare providers working with young children from immigrant and Latinx households should be aware of the disproportionate stress experienced by immigrant and Latinx families due to a xenophobic sociopolitical climate marked by heightened immigration enforcement threat and racist, anti-immigrant rhetoric.

“…These measures were evaluated for cultural appropriateness with Hispanics/Latinos living in the United States whose primary language was Spanish [ 68 ]. The assessment of the Spanish-language version of the NIH Toolbox showed good psychometric properties and supports its use to measure cognitive and behavioral functioning among Spanish-speaking individuals in the United States [ 69 ]. We investigated the construct validity of these measures in our study population using CFA.…”

Cognitive and socio-emotional correlates of psychological well-being and mental health in Guatemalan adults

et al. 2021

Background Little is known about associations of psychological and mental well-being with cognitive and socioemotional factors in low and middle-income countries, particularly among vulnerable populations born in adverse environments that may restrict developmental potential. This study aimed to examine the cognitive and socioemotional correlates of psychological well-being and mental health in a cohort of Guatemalan adults born in contexts of poverty and malnutrition. Methods From Dec 2017 to Apr 2019, data were collected from 704 women and 564 men ages 40–57 years living in four rural villages in eastern Guatemala and Guatemala City. We measured latent domains of psychological well-being, spirituality and religion, emotional support, and executive function using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Under a Structural Equation Modeling framework, we examined intercorrelations among latent domains and observed measures of intelligence and mental health. Results CFA supported the construct validity of factor structures in this population. Correlations of psychological well-being with spirituality and religion were moderate in women (r = 0.68, p < 0.001) and men (r = 0.70, p < 0.001). Executive function was weakly correlated with psychological well-being in men (r = 0.23, p < 0.001) and showed no association in women. Correlations of psychological well-being with emotional support and IQ were weak in women (r = 0.34, and r = 0.15, respectively; p < 0.001 for both) and men (r = 0.35, and r = 0.25, respectively; p < 0.001 for both). Mental health and IQ were weakly correlated in men (r = 0.09, p < 0.05) and showed no association in women. Mental health showed weak correlations with emotional support (r = 0.18, p < 0.001 in women; r = 0.09, p < 0.05 in men), psychological well-being (r = 0.32 and r = 0.35, in women and men respectively; p < 0.001 for both) and showed no association with executive function in both sexes. Conclusions Of all examined factors, spirituality and religion made the greatest contribution to psychological well-being. These findings support the notion that in populations experiencing difficult circumstances, religion can perhaps make a greater contribution to well-being and aid coping. More research is needed to examine mediators of this association.

“…The experts must have a PhD degree in English Applied Linguistics with professional development; they must be English language professors with at least ten years of teaching English experience; they must have research publications in International Scientific Indexing (ISI)/SCOPUS journals to demonstrate expertise in their subject matters, and they must have the practical experience to implement innovative teaching methodologies in learning English. To validate the research instruments, the researchers requested a panel of three senior English language Professors who earned their PhD degrees in English Applied Linguistics from prestigious universities with rigorous teaching experience of at least ten years to review the selected items of the questionnaires associated with the main constructs (Abu-Bader, 2021;Bryman, 2016;Fox et al, 2020). After a thorough review of the items of the questionnaires, the experts argued that the items of the questionnaires are easy, understandable, properly worded, and stated briefly, representing the main variables.…”

Many instruments have been developed to investigate the issues that influence the learners in a Collaborative Learning Approach (CLA). However, existing instruments were found inadequate to investigate important areas such as the perceptions of English as a Second Language (ESL) undergraduates in CLA, the perceptions of ESL teachers about their undergraduates in CLA, the challenges faced by ESL undergraduates in CLA, and the perceptions of ESL teachers about the challenges faced by their undergraduates in CLA in learning English. The aim of this research is, therefore, to develop and validate questionnaires for CLA to investigate these areas in learning English. The process involved reviewing the related literature, identifying several questionnaires on CLA in different contexts and then selecting suitable items from there. These items were further adapted to suit the Pakistani ESL context and the aim of this research. Five-point Likert scale questionnaire items were developed. The questionnaires were validated by a panel of three ESL experts to measure the content validity. 60 ESL undergraduates and ten ESL teachers voluntarily participated in the pilot study. Cronbach Alpha was measured to investigate the internal consistency of the questionnaires. A good to excellent Cronbach Alpha reliability was reported for the four questionnaires.
