Summary
This systematic review explored cultural adaptations in social-emotional learning (SEL) programs for K-12 students. While adaptations showed high acceptability, their effectiveness on student outcomes was mixed.
Area of Science:
- Education
- Psychology
- Sociology
Background:
- Social-emotional learning (SEL) programs are vital for student development.
- Current understanding of cultural adaptations to SEL programs is limited.
- Ensuring equitable access to effective SEL is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review cultural adaptations in SEL programs for K-12 students in the U.S.
- To examine the association between these adaptations and student outcomes.
- To assess the acceptability and feasibility of adapted SEL programs.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of peer-reviewed studies and dissertations.
- Searched five databases in January 2023 for studies on SEL cultural adaptations.
- Included 11 studies involving 5,173 students in PreK-12 settings.
Main Results:
- Most adaptations involved surface- and deep-level changes for specific racial/ethnic groups or regions.
- Effectiveness of adaptations on student outcomes yielded mixed results.
- High acceptability and feasibility were reported for most adaptations.
Conclusions:
- Cultural adaptations to SEL programs are common but their impact on outcomes varies.
- Further research is needed to optimize culturally adapted SEL programs.
- Future studies should focus on effectiveness and diverse student populations.

01:30Socioemotional Development during Infancy

Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

25
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Emotional expression encompasses how individuals convey their emotions through verbal communication and non-verbal cues. These non-verbal actions include facial expressions, body language, and physical gestures, such as frowning or smiling. Among these, facial expressions play a crucial role in emotional expression and are understood universally, indicating a biological basis for how humans communicate emotions.

Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.

01:20Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory
204
Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.
