Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

725
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

5.0K
When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness,...

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

459
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Causes of Social Behavior II: Cognitive Processes

185
Cognitive processes affect social behavior by guiding how individuals perceive, interpret, and respond to social stimuli. These mental processes enable individuals to assess others' behaviors, attribute causes to their actions, and form expectations based on past experiences.Causes of Behavior and Social JudgmentsIndividuals determine the causes of others' behaviors by distinguishing between personal traits and external circumstances. For example, if a friend frequently arrives late, an...

Causality in Epidemiology01:21

Causality in Epidemiology

1.5K
Causality or causation is a fundamental concept in epidemiology, vital for understanding the relationships between various factors and health outcomes. Despite its importance, there's no single, universally accepted definition of causality within the discipline. Drawing from a systematic review, causality in epidemiology encompasses several definitions, including production, necessary and sufficient, sufficient-component, counterfactual, and probabilistic models. Each has its strengths and...

Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

500
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Area of Science:

  • Education
  • Public Health
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Chronic absenteeism negatively impacts academic achievement and long-term life outcomes.
  • Partial-day absences (PDAs) are more prevalent than full-day absences but are less understood.
  • Understanding PDAs is crucial for developing effective absenteeism interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and causal factors of partial-day absences (PDAs) in secondary school students.
  • To identify the relationship between PDAs and broader absenteeism patterns.
  • To inform targeted interventions for student attendance.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Kids and Teens at School framework and causal discovery analysis.
  • Analyzed secondary school student-level data (n=125,375) from the 2019 Minnesota Student Survey.
  • Modeled factors causally associated with PDAs and overall absenteeism.

Main Results:

  • PDAs were found to directly contribute to full-day absences.
  • Sleep deprivation showed a positive association with mental health difficulties.
  • Increased school engagement was negatively associated with PDAs.

Conclusions:

  • Findings underscore the link between PDAs and full-day absences.
  • Sleep deprivation and mental health challenges are key factors in student absenteeism.
  • Enhancing school engagement and addressing sleep issues are vital strategies to combat absenteeism.
