At a twelve-month follow up, parents completed questionnaires examining their own emotion regulation (i.e., the ability to manage one’s emotional experiences) and psychopathological symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depressive symptoms), emotion socialization behaviours (i.e., responses to child expression of positive and negative emotions), and child emotion regulation and psychopathology. keywords: child; children; covid-19; emotion; family; pandemic; parents; research cache: ep-72530.pdf plain text: ep-72530.txt item: #54 of 62 id: ep-72546 author: Van Beers, Rae Ann title: Pan(dem)ic at the (Middle School) Disco: Navigating Data Collection During Quarantine date: 2021-12-01 words: 2098 flesch: 58 summary: He amplified my plea for research participants by stating in the group chat he set up for us: “This is a great opportunity to help Rae Ann out with her research and share your thoughts.” Keywords: Covid-19, graduate student, research plan, data collection, online platforms, middle school, fair trade, social justice education, duoethnography, qualitative research. keywords: data; duoethnography; plan; research; school cache: ep-72546.pdf plain text: ep-72546.txt item: #55 of 62 id: ep-72563 author: Bello, Jhonattan; Luo, Cong; Cho, Suyeon; Liang, Siyin title: Living through Covid-19 Pandemic as International Students in Canada: Collaborative Autoethnography of Struggles and Resilience date: 2021-12-01 words: 2362 flesch: 41 summary: Keywords: COVID-19, international student experience, resilience, graduate students, challenges in higher education, post-secondary education Bello, J., Cho, S., Liang, S., & Luo, C.

A way in which to address such criticism is by moving from a literacy event to literacy-as-event which “promotes an expansive, reflective, and imaginative engagement with literacy practices that aligns with relational thinking” (p. 46). keywords: cake; design; josh; literacy; making; meaning; process cache: ep-73388.pdf plain text: ep-73388.txt item: #59 of 62 id: ep-74133 author: Hladik, Stephanie; Gottlieb, Marcus; Barrantes, Lena ; Pethrick, Helen title: Introduction: Graduate Students Navigating the COVID-19 Pandemic date: 2021-12-01 words: 1927 flesch: 42 summary: In addition to universal stressors like job security, childcare, and health worries, graduate students faced additional pandemic-related challenges related to our roles as student-researchers.
