A Typology of Reasoning in Deliberative Processes: A Study of the 2010 Oregon Citizens’ Initiative Review
Authors: Fischer Ken , Reedy Justin , Piercy Cameron , Thapaliya Rashmi
Published: April 2022

Deliberative democracy processes encourage people to engage in thoughtful analysis and well-reasoned discussion about a public issue. Though scholarship examining deliberative forums has expanded greatly in recent years, there is still much to learn about information processing in deliberation – more specifically, how citizens express different forms of reasoning, and how they voice disagreement with their fellow participants. To more closely examine these two areas, we conducted a qualitative thematic analysis of transcripts from a notable deliberative forum, the Citizens’ Initiative Review (CIR), with a focus on the 2010 Oregon CIR forum on medical marijuana legalization. We used this analysis to develop a typology of different forms of reasoning expressed in deliberation: inductive, deductive, causal, analogical, expressing uncertainty, and questioning. In addition, we identified four primary forms of voicing disagreement in deliberation: questioning, repackaging, agreeing-to-disagree, and discrediting others. We conclude by exploring the implications of this analysis for deliberation scholarship and practice, and suggesting future areas of research that could further explore reasoning and disagreement in deliberative democracy.
Hysteria and its deceptive masks
Authors: Michel Bourin
Published: April 2022

Hysteria still exists, even if this stigmatizing term has been abandoned in favor of more descriptive terms (dissociative disorders, conversion disorders, functional disorders), and represents a frequent and disabling pathology. Even if in some situations, the establishment of a definitive diagnosis remains difficult, more and more clinical and paraclinical signs are developing to help in the diagnosis and the error rate is low. Thus, the clinician must currently make a positive diagnosis of conversion and no longer, as unfortunately often in the past, confine himself to evoking by default such a possibility in the face of an atypical picture accompanied by an extensive negative paraclinical assessment. The most probable etiology concerns triggering factors of a psychiatric nature (traumatic episode or psychic stress, vulnerability with a field of abuse in childhood, comorbidity of anxio-depressive disorders), which can, in turn, lead to changes in brain function, the exact neurobiological correlate of which remains to be determined, even if many leads have recently been suggested by brain imaging. The care of these patients requires an in-depth and specialized examination, if possible, with the help of a neurologist, then psychiatric care, combined with somatic follow-up. In the future, a better understanding of the etiological mechanisms will make it possible to develop more specific treatments.
Clinical trials cannot provide sufficient accuracy for studying weak factors necessary for curing chronic diseases
Authors: Jianqing Wu , Ping Zha
Published: April 2022

Chronic diseases are still known as incurable diseases, and we suspect that the medical research model is unfit for characterizing chronic diseases. In this study, we examined accuracy and reliability required for characterizing chronic diseases, reviewed implied presumptions in clinical trials and assumptions used in statistical analysis, examined sources of variances normally encountered in clinical trials, and conducted numeric simulations by using hypothetical data for several theoretical and hypothetical models. We found that the sources of variances attributable to personal differences in clinical trials can distort hypothesis test outcomes, that clinical trials introduce too many errors and too many inaccuracies that tend to hide weak and slow-delivering effects of treatments, and that the means of treatments used in statistical analysis have little or no relevance to specific patients. We further found that a large number of uncontrolled co-causal or interfering factors normally seen in human beings can greatly enlarge the means and the variances or experimental errors, and the use of high rejection criteria (e.g., small p values) further raises the chances of failing to find treatment effects. As a whole, we concluded that the research model using clinical trials is wrong on multiple grounds under any of our realistic theoretical and hypothetical models, and that misuse of statistical analysis is most probably responsible for failure to identify treatment effects for chronic diseases and failure to detect harmful effects of toxic substances in the environment. We proposed alternative experimental models involving the use of single-person or mini optimization trials for studying low-risk weak treatments.

This protocol was designed to enhance signal for backscatter electron imaging of epoxy embedded mammalian tissue at low accelerating voltages (1-3 keV). However, it can easily be adapted for use with tissues from other species, tissue culture cells, plants and microbial cells by adjusting the buffer strength and the duration of relevant steps. This combinatorial heavy metal staining protocol employs a battery of contrasting steps after primary aldehyde fixation including: ferrocyanide reduced osmium tetroxide post fixation, thiocarbohydrazide-osmium liganding (OTO) and subsequent uranyl acetate and en bloc lead aspartate staining. Calcium chloride is included in a number of steps to enhance membrane preservation and staining. This protocol was designed primarily to emphasize the contrast of membranes. Many other contrasting agents may be included to increase staining of other cellular and extracellular constituents.

Dijitalleşen Seyahat An(ı)ları: Fiziki ve Çevrim içi Seyahat Deneyiminin Hatırlama Bağlamında Karşılaştırılması
Authors: EYREK Aysun
Published: April 2022

Bu araştırmada, fiziki ve çevrim içi seyahat deneyimlerinin, hatırlanma bağlamında karşılaştırılması ve deneyimler arasındaki farkların ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Seyahatin dijitalleşmesi, bireylerin bir yeri fiziki ziyaret etmek yerine, dijital araçlar yardımıyla o yeri dijital alanda ziyaret etmesi olarak açıklanmaktadır. Nitel ve nicel araştırma yöntemlerinin birlikte kullanıldığı bu araştırmanın birinci kısmında, yürüyüş turu videolarından YouTube’da en çok izlenme sayısı alan iki videonun izleyici yorumları, sosyal ağ analiz yöntemlerinden duygu ve metin analizi yöntemlerine göre incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın ikinci kısmında ise nitel ve deneysel tasarıma sahip odak grup görüşmeleri yapılmıştır. Odak grup görüşmelerinde katılımcılar, örneklem olarak seçilen iki şehri fiziki seyahat edenler (kontrol grubu) ile çevrim içi seyahat edenlerden (deney grubu) oluşmaktadır. Duygu analizinde, pozitif ve nötr duygu ifadelerinin negatif duygu ifadesine göre daha fazla olduğu, metin analizinde ise bireylerin çevrim içi yürüyüş turunu seyahat deneyimi olarak gördükleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Odak grup görüşmelerinde, çevrim içi seyahat deneyiminde, videonun görüntü kalitesi ile doğal sesin kullanılmasının seyahati hatırlamada etkili olduğu; fiziki seyahat deneyiminin anı içeriklerinin genellikle insan etkileşimleri, sosyal yaşama dair olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Her iki seyahat deneyiminde de bireylerin mekâna ilişkin önceden medya aracılığıyla edindikleri bilgilerin, imgelerin seyahat deneyimlerini hatırlamalarını güçlendirdiği tespit edilmiştir.
The Influence of a Transitional Stress Regime on the Source Characteristics of Induced Seismicity and Fault Activation: Evidence from the 30 November 2018 Fort St. John ML 4.5 Induced Earthquake Sequence
Authors: Salvage Rebecca O. , Eaton David W.
Published: April 2022

On 30 November 2018, a sequence of seismicity including a felt (ML∼4.5) induced earthquake occurred ∼16 km southwest of Fort St. John, British Columbia. Using a local seismograph network around the epicentral region, we identified > 560 seismic events over a two-week period, incorporating two mainshock events within a 45 min time interval, both with ML>4.3. This seismicity occurred close in location and depth to ongoing hydraulic fracturing operations. Using previously unpublished data, our analysis suggests that events, including the largest mainshock, occurred at the interval of fluid injection, which is shallower than previously reported. The events showed a mix of reverse, oblique normal, and strike-slip mechanisms within a well-defined structural corridor that forms the southern margin of the Fort St. John graben. The two mainshock events reveal opposing mechanisms: one as a reverse (re)activation of a normal fault (ML 4.5) and the other an oblique normal mechanism (ML 4.3). Stress inversion and bootstrap analysis of 72 well-constrained focal mechanisms indicate that the maximum principal stress direction is horizontal, oriented in a north-northeast direction (3°–36°). However, the intermediate and minimum stress axes fluctuate between horizontal and vertical and are nearly equal in magnitude, indicating that both reverse and strike-slip regimes can occur in response to relatively small stress perturbations. Stress inversions using event subsets before and after the largest mainshock reveals an approximately 30° counter-clockwise coseismic rotation of the principal stress axes in the hypocentral region. Furthermore, the observed seismicity suggests that the largest mainshock event exceeded the calculated Mmax using models based on injected volumes, suggesting that it may be an example of runaway rupture. This has important implications for risk analysis, because small changes in the stress field may be induced through ongoing operations in this area, destabilizing different faults within a complex structural environment.

Published: April 2022

Gamification is an underdeveloped didactic method in the microbiology classroom, mainly due to teachers’ limited experience with ICT. However, it can positively influence learning, especially in virtual environments such as those established by the COVID-19 pandemic. This work aimed to analyze the effects of gamification applied to microbiology classes in Biology students in blended and online modalities under the current context. A focus group of students, who experienced the didactics of gamification, Problem-Based Learning, and Project-Based Learning, was surveyed to determine the effects of these methods on its learning. Teachers and graduates also approached gamification, and their responses were analyzed. Students considered that gamification contributed to their engagement in the learning process, increasing the interest in classroom activities. The results also indicated that the three didactic approaches complemented each other and can be integrated into the face-to-face curriculum. Evidence denoted that gamification can indeed enhance cognitive, metacognitive, praxeological, and attitudinal skills, thereby bettering the learning experience.
Translation and psychometric properties of the Gujarati version post-COVID functional status scale
Authors: Thakkar Kevin , Verma Chhaya , Parekh Aditi
Published: April 2022

The ‘Post COVID Functional Status Scale’ (PCFS) is an ordinal scale concentrating on the functional limitations to view the variety of post-COVID 19 outcomes and to measure the consequence of the infection other than death

The adapted version of the PCFS Scale will be useful in tracking the post COVID functional status in the individuals who can comprehend the scale better in the Gujarati language.

This study was carried out in a post-COVID-19 patient population at a government tertiary care hospital. The study was carried out according to the guidelines given by the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

The methodology consisted of 3 Phases. Forward and backward translation, expert committee review, and usability testing on the participants who were asked to fill out the Gujarati version of the PCFS scale twice in Phase 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

30 participants, both males, and females participated in the study. Cronbach’s α was used to calculate the internal consistency of the scale.

The ICC was 0.99, which interprets as a very high correlation and stability of the scale.

The Cronbach’s alpha was calculated for a population of 30 participants. On test 1 the value for Cronbach’s Alpha (ɑ1) was 0.821 and on the second test, the value was (ɑ2) 0.866.

A linguistically and practically identical Gujarati PCFS Scale was formulated after a careful and systematic process, which offers a viable and trustworthy method for assessing the functionality of post-COVID-19 patients.

Published: April 2022

Recent reports have described a secondary Multi system Inﬂammatory Syndrome in adult (MIS-A)and its temporal association with COVID-19 infection. Here, we report the case of a 25-year-old male who presented with shock and multi organ failure. Three-week prior to present admission he developed an Influenza like illness, secondary to SARS-CoV2 infection as detected by a reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Three weeks later, patient had recurrence of fever associated with throat pain, neck swelling, and a rash followed by shock and multiorgan failure. Laboratory work revealed elevated inflammatory markers. His throat swab for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR was negative and SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody was reactive.In view of presentation like multi-inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) a probable diagnosis of MIS-A was made. He was successfully treated with intravenous Immunoglobulin and pulse dose Methylprednisolone. This case highlights the need to remain vigilant for multisystem inﬂammatory syndromes in the COVID-19 affected patients.[

The purpose of this study is to describe the process of parental guidance and assistance for the Islamic Elementary School (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah or MI) students during the covid-19 pandemic and the benefits of parental guidance and assistance while learning at home. This research is descriptive qualitative in nature. The data were collected through observation, interview and documentation. The results of this study indicate that: 1) parental guidance and assistance is needed in online learning which is carried out by utilizing technology using networks because it is carried out online from their respective homes. Parents (family) are the first place where children get education. In connection with distance learning, the task of people increases as a substitute for teachers at home to provide online guidance, supervision, and direction for student learning. The success of children's education cannot be separated from the role of parents as the first teachers to introduce education. 2) parental guidance and assistance for students in online learning has a positive impact for both the parents themselves and the students. Parents become more aware of students' learning progress directly, become more patient, and also gain knowledge because they can learn together with their children. For students, they know more about their responsibilities as students, namely learning, completing assignments from the teachers and being more active in learning.

The objective of this study was to determine the causes of the decline of sports in the universities of India. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from India's hundred-year-old three central universities. The subjects for this study were the administrators, coaches, and players of the University Sports Boards. A multi-stage sampling technique was adopted for this study. At first, the three central universities, Aligarh Muslim University, Banaras Hindu University, and Jamia Millia Islamia, were selected purposively based on uniformity. Three hundred thirteen subjects, including 39 administrators, 29 coaches, and 245 players, were randomly selected from the three universities. RIDIT analysis followed by the Kruskal Wallis test was used to analyze the data and hypothesis. The study results unveiled that the effectiveness of sports in the universities of India has declined. There is no strategic planning with clear and attainable objectives for the management of sports in the universities of India. The study displayed the causes of its decline and suggested retention measures. Further research is needed to explore sports in the universities of India.
CAPSI: Caracterização de uma versão on-line do Sistema Personalizado de Ensino
Authors: Gusso Hélder Lima , De Oliveira Caio Medeiros , Dos Santos Maria Laura Silveira
Published: April 2022

A Análise do Comportamento é um sistema teórico na área da Psicologia com grande repercussão nos campos aplicados desde meados do século XX. No campo da Educação, contribuições como o Ensino Programado e o Sistema Personalizado de Ensino (PSI) são bastante conhecidos. A produção científica sobre o PSI foi muito fértil até a década de 1980, atestando sua efetividade no ensino superior. Ainda hoje, o PSI é caracterizado nas principais revisões sistemáticas na área da Educação como um dos procedimentos de ensino mais efetivos. A despeito do sucesso reportado, o uso do PSI diminuiu após os anos 1980. Entre os motivos, são destacados a quantidade de trabalho adicional aos professores para viabilizar disciplinas no formato PSI e a alta demanda por instrutores para viabilizar as interações constantes com os estudantes. Em 1983, o professor Joseph J. Pear, da University of Manitoba, criou um sistema informatizado que reduz as dificuldades operacionais ao professor e diminui a quantidade de assistentes ou monitores necessários para ensino em cursos com PSI, denominado CAPSI (Computer-Aided Personalized System of Instruction). Desde então, o CAPSI já foi utilizado em ampla gama de disciplinas universitárias. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi caracterizar o CAPSI, uma das variações do PSI, pouco conhecido pela comunidade de analistas do comportamento no Brasil. O CAPSI é um sistema fiel aos pressupostos do PSI, com avanços importantes no incentivo à produção de textos dissertativos pelos estudantes, à avaliação por pares e ao desenvolvimento de pensamento crítico.Palavras-chave: Análise Do Comportamento, Sistema Personalizado De Ensino, CAPSI, Educação Superior, Educação On-Line.

Published: April 2022

A literatura tem argumentado em favor da aproximação entre a Análise do Comportamento e a Reabilitação Neuropsicológica, destacando que a Análise do Comportamento poderia contribuir para as práticas em reabilitação e mostrando evidências de que já vem sendo utilizada. Contudo, não há uma sistematização sobre a frequência ou como esse uso vem ocorrendo e tampouco há um compartilhamento dos resultados dessa interação. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as contribuições da Análise do Comportamento para a Reabilitação Neuropsicológica. Foi feita uma revisão integrativa da literatura nas bases MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PubMed e Web of Science, com 15 combinações de palavras-chave e utilizando o campo de busca mais amplo. Houve quatro etapas de seleção dos artigos, as quais tiveram dois avaliadores independentes e um revisor em caso de divergência. Foram incluídos artigos empíricos que mencionaram no título ou resumo quaisquer relações entre a Análise do Comportamento e a Reabilitação Neuropsicológica. Ao final, foram incluídos 18 artigos, sendo 14 pesquisas aplicadas e quatro básicas. As pesquisas aplicadas demonstram que a Análise do Comportamento é eficaz para engajar os pacientes em protocolos de reabilitação e reduzir comportamentos incompatíveis com o tratamento. As pesquisas básicas utilizaram pressupostos analítico-comportamentais para intervir em déficits decorrentes de lesões e estimular áreas cerebrais de compensação. A presente revisão contribui para o diálogo entre as duas áreas, ao demonstrar evidências de eficácia sobre metodologias interventivas que englobam procedimentos analítico-comportamentais e da Reabilitação Neuropsicológica.Palavras-chave: Reabilitação Neuropsicológica, Reabilitação Neurológica, Neuropsicologia, Análise do Comportamento Aplicada, lesão encefálica.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of different urine dipstick protein threshold levels in predicting the presence of abnormal proteinuria in pregnant women with hypertension.
Material and Methods: A total of 326 singleton pregnant women who underwent 501 urine protein tests and who had suspected preeclampsia were included in this retrospective study. Patient data was taken including medical and obstetric history. The results of dipstick urinalysis and concurrent 24-hour urine protein excretion measurements were compared to determine the accuracy of urinalysis.
Results: A dipstick result of 1+ was found to be the best cut-off to predict 500 mg of protein excretion per day, with sensitivity and specificity of 62.09% and 88.97%, respectively. A 2+ proteinuria dipstick cut-off had high specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) (99.05% and 98.84%, respectively) for the prediction of 300 mg of protein excretion per day; this cut-off had low sensitivity (21.46%). A cut-off of 1+ also provided satisfactory specificity and PPV (91.43% and 94.48%, respectively) for the detection of 300 mg of protein excretion per day, but sensitivity was compromised (38.89%). Among 301 patients with negative dipstick results, 212 had a 24-hour urine protein extraction greater than 300 mg, with a false negative rate of 70.43%.
Conclusion: The results suggest that the urine protein dipstick measurement has limited quantitative ability for the prediction of abnormal proteinuria. Additionally, the use of 500 mg 24-hours protein excretion as a cut-off value for abnormal proteinuria may provide useful data.

Published: April 2022

Anemia remains a serious public health concern, globally, affecting learning ability and physical development of children. Anemic children are at a higher risk of diminished economic productivity and low earning capacity in adulthood due to impaired school performance and reduced work capacity. Anemia contributes to about a quarter of Africa’s nutrition-related Disability Adjusted Life Years. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of anemia and its associated risk factors among school-aged children (SAC) between ages 9 and 15 years in urban Ghana. The analysis included a randomly selected subsample of 1,634 children from a larger study on nutrition of SAC enrolled between 2009 and 2012 in private and public basic schools in the Accra and Kumasi Metropolis in Ghana. Socio-demographic and household characteristics were collected with questionnaires. Weight and height were taken to the nearest 0.1kg and 0.1cm, respectively. Dietary information was collected using a food frequency questionnaire. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistic version 23. The relationship between hemoglobin levels and socio-demographic variables, and predictors of hemoglobin levels were determined using Chi-square and binary logistic regression. The mean hemoglobin concentration of the study participants was 12.9±1.3 g/dL. In Kumasi, SAC had higher mean hemoglobin concentration (13.1±1.2 g/dL) compared to those from Accra (12.6±1.3 g/dL; p=0.001). Mean hemoglobin concentration was significantly higher among males than females (13.0±1.4 g/dL vs 12.8±1.2 g/dL; p=0.002). Prevalence of anemia was 20.4%; mild anemia was most common (13.6% of total sample). Anemia cases were higher in public schools (24.6%) compared to private (18.2%). Two-thirds of anemia cases (64.0%) were from schools in Accra. Males had significantly higher prevalence of anemia (26.5%) than females (15.9%; p <0.05). In the adjusted logistic regression model, only city of residence (OR+1.65, 95% CI: 1.44–1.83), thinness (OR=2.60, 95% CI: 1.11-5.75), stunting (OR=1.85, 95% CI: 1.99-3.10) and overweight (OR=0.60, 95% CI: 0.36-0.94) were significantly associated with anemia. In this study, anemia was significantly associated with location and nutritional status. Key words: anemia, Ghana, hemoglobin, schoolchildren, urban settings, metropolis, Accra, Kumasi
A review of Ghana’s food system and its implications on sustainability and the development of national food-based dietary guidelines

Published: April 2022

Food-Based Dietary Guidelines (FBDG) provide culturally-appropriate and actionable recommendations based on which populations can make healthy food choices. Food systems sustainability, from production to consumption, and disposal of food and food-related items, should be a critical consideration for developing such guidelines. This rapid review assesses Ghana's food systems to determine the level of sustainability to inform the FBDG recommendations. Peer-reviewed articles, documents and reports of relevance to Ghana were included in this rapid review. A hundred and eight papers, answering different questions on food system sustainability were reviewed. Bread, cereals, fish and indigenous vegetables are the most frequently consumed food groups. Sugar-Sweetened Beverages are the most consumed imported foods. In rural areas, 53% of dietary protein comes from plant sources. Fish is the main the source of animal protein for most Ghanaian households. There is intensive exploitation of marine and fresh water resources. Most livestock are raised by smallholder farmers using free-range system. Poultry is frequently kept on deep litter system and only a few are large-scale. Crop production for household consumption and small-scale animal rearing are predominant, especially in Northern Ghana. By weight, fruits and vegetables are the least cultivated and consumed crops at the household level. Wood is the commonest source of fuel for cooking, especially in rural areas. Single use plastic is the most used and preferred material for food packaging. Indiscriminate and poor management of waste and pesticide misuse is commonly reported. The findings suggest the need for promoting production diversification, use of clean fuel and reusable food packaging as part of FBDGs to enhance sustainability of Ghana’s food systems.

Meduza na strychu. O teorii i praktyce procesu twórczego
Authors: Chutnik Sylwia
Published: April 2022

Manifest Hélène Cixous Śmiech Meduzy po raz pierwszy został opublikowany w 1975 roku i od razu stał się jednym z najczęściej przywoływanych tekstów dotyczących écriture féminine – pisarstwa kobiecego. Jak można odbierać esej współcześnie i czy twórczość literacka kobiet stała się elementem emancypacyjnym, czy raczej wpadła w pułapkę esencjalizmu? Na przykładzie tekstów teoretycznych oraz własnej twórczości i wieloletniego doświadczenia prowadzenia zajęć z creative writing omawiam krytycznie spojrzenie Cixous. Sięgam do tekstów teoretycznych Marguerite Duras, Izabeli Filipiak (Morskiej), Katarzyny Bondy czy Julii Cameron, kreśląc wskazówki dla piszących kobiet i zderzając je z przykładami tworzonej przez nie literatury. Sięgam również do własnego warsztatu pisarskiego i zastanawiam się, czy model „wariatki na strychu” („A Madwoman in The Attic”) Sandry Gilbert i Susan Gubar obowiązuje w XXI wieku.
Świat kobiet w twórczości prozatorskiej Liliany Hermetz
Authors: Zimnica-Kuzioła Emilia
Published: April 2022

Artykuł, którego tematem jest świat kobiet w twórczości prozatorskiej współczesnej polskiej pisarki, mieści się w zakresie socjologicznych studiów nad artystkami. Autorka przedstawia mało jeszcze znaną szerokiemu gronu czytelników twórczynię – Lilianę Hermetz, która zadebiutowała w 2014 roku książką Alicyjka (ogólnopolska nagroda Conrada za rok 2015). Hermetz pokazuje intymny świat kobiecych przeżyć, odwagę i wrażliwość kobiet doświadczających traum życia i codziennych problemów. Okazuje się, że mikrosprawy, „krzątactwo”, które z reguły uważane było za temat nieważny, zbyt błahy dla literatury, może stanowić interesujący motyw twórczości artystycznej. Kobiety w powieściach artystki ukazane są na tle historii, która determinuje ich losy, ale jednocześnie katalizuje ich siłę, walkę o podmiotowość i godność.

The article aims to present the results of experimental work on the implementation of a model for the development of cognitive independence of high school students in physical education lessons. Experimental work involved the development of the substantive foundations of the process of developing cognitive independence of high school students in physical education lessons, for this purpose, a phased implementation of this process was organized. The total participants of the research were 210 students between grades 10-and 11. The effectiveness of the implementation of the constructed model and technology is confirmed by the significant differences in the dynamics of the development of cognitive independence among high school students in control and experimental groups. The revealed differences allow us to state the effectiveness of the conducted experiment on the development of cognitive independence in physical education lessons among high school students in terms of motivational-value, cognitive-reflexive, and creative-activity components of cognitive independence.

Has Financial Knowledge Increased in the United States?
Authors: Kim Kyoung Tae , Lee Sunwoo , Hanna Sherman D.
Published: April 2022

This study explores financial knowledge patterns from 2009 to 2018, focusing on objective and subjective knowledge, overconfidence in financial knowledge, and “Don’t know” responses. We used four waves of National Financial Capability Study (NFCS) datasets. Objective financial knowledge was lower in 2018 than in 2009, and the proportion of individuals who were overconfident was higher in 2018 than in 2009. The mean number of “Don’t know” responses to objective knowledge questions increased consistently over the period. Most of these patterns persisted when we controlled for household characteristics in regressions. The lack of increases in financial knowledge despite formal and informal educational efforts raises the question as to whether existing efforts for formal and informal education are sufficient.
