Validation of the Student Homework Mindset Scale (SHMS)
ABSTRACT This research presents a preliminary validation of the Student Homework Mindset Scale (SHMS) using data from 724 students in seventh and eighth grades. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups: one for conducting exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and the other for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results supported a two‐factor

Thresholds for sensitive optimality and Blackwell optimality in stochastic games
We investigate refinements of the mean-payoff criterion in two-player zero-sum perfect-information stochastic games. A strategy is Blackwell optimal if it is optimal in the discounted game for all discount factors sufficiently close to $1$. The notion of $d$-sensitive optimality interpolates between mean-payoff optimality (corresponding to the case $d=-

Arc Heat Flow and Magmatic Heat Budgets
Abstract We evaluate hydrothermal heat loss from 11 volcanic‐arc segments (∼6,000 km of arc length, ∼10% of the global total), motivated by the observation that much magmatic heat ultimately crosses the land surface as heated aqueous fluid. Heat loss takes place by volcanic eruption, geothermal heat conduction to the surface, fumarolic (vapor ...

Decolonizing infant mental health: Black maternal mental health decision‐making
Abstract Over the last three decades (and maybe longer), studies have documented persistent race‐based maternal mental health disparities, whereas Black mothers are more likely to experience mental health concerns, and least likely to access formal mental health services due to structural racism and other social determinants.

Hydraulic Effects of Channel Realignment and Floodplain Reconnection in a Headwater Stream
Abstract Channel realignment and floodplain reconnection are increasingly used as nature‐based solutions for flood management, yet their hydraulic effects remain poorly quantified in field settings of moderate‐gradient, small order channels. This study examines the impact of such interventions on hydraulic response in a headwater catchment, Goldrill ...

Reasons, Mistakes, and Excuses
Drawing on the theory of practical reasons, John Gardner has offered a seminal account of excuses in criminal law. His proposal is that an excuse asserts that the defendant acted for what she justifiably believed to be sufficient reason for her to perform the offending act although she had no such reason.

Issues in the study of virtual world social movements [PDF]
Virtual worlds are online three-dimensional worlds that are often constructed to look much like the real world. As more people begin to use these virtual worlds, virtual communities are emerging enabling various social activities and social interactions ...

Farmers' pro‐social motivations and willingness‐to‐accept in markets with public goods
Abstract To explain how some farmers' decisions may diverge from profit‐maximization, we incorporate proactive social preferences for public goods in an expected utility framework, in addition to reactive risk preferences to uncertainty. We offer empirical evidence that proactive preferences influence farmers' decisions alongside reactive preferences ...
