The independence of multiple intelligences (MI) of Gardner's theory has been debated since its conception. This article examines whether the one- factor structure of the MI theory tested in previous studies is invariant for low and high ability students. Two hundred ninety-four children (aged 5 to 7) participated in this study. A set of Gardner's Multiple Intelligence assessment tasks based on the Spectrum Project was used. To analyze the invariance of a general dimension of intelligence, the different models of behaviours were studied in samples of participants with different performance on the Spectrum Project tasks with Multi-Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MGCFA). Results suggest an absence of structural invariance in Gardner's tasks. Exploratory analyses suggest a three-factor structure for individuals with higher performance levels and a two-factor structure for individuals with lower performance levels.

Special Education Department, King Khalid University, Abha, Saudi Arabia.
Introduction: The current paper aimed to translate psychometric properties and network structure of the Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED-P) in children aged 4 to 7 years in Arabic-speaking countries.
Method: In this study, 646 Arabic-speaking parents of children aged 4 to 7 participated. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to confirm the five-factor structure of the SCARED-P scale.
Psychometric proprieties analyses of psychological vulnerability scale for secondary school students.

Background: The concept of psychological vulnerability is associated with the individual's maladaptive cognitive beliefs, such as self-criticism, perfectionism, and the need for external validation and approval, reducing the individual's ability to cope with negative life experiences. This study aimed to explore psychometric proprieties of the Psychological Vulnerability Scale in secondary school students.
Methods: A psychometric study was conducted with a non-probabilistic sample of 1,875 secondary school students (55.
Generalizable, sequence-invariant deep learning image reconstruction for subspace-constrained quantitative MRI.

Department of Radiological Sciences, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Purpose: To develop a deep subspace learning network that can function across different pulse sequences.
Methods: A contrast-invariant component-by-component (CBC) network structure was developed and compared against previously reported spatiotemporal multicomponent (MC) structure for reconstructing MR Multitasking images. A total of 130, 167, and 16 subjects were imaged using T, T-T, and T-T- -fat fraction (FF) mapping sequences, respectively.
Unpacking the relationship between adolescents' perceived school climate and negative emotions: the chain mediating roles of school belonging and social avoidance and distress.
BMC Psychol
January 2025
Office of academic affairs, Chengdu Sport University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Objective: Guided by Self-System Processes Theory, Social Support Theory, and Stress and Coping Theory, this study investigates how perceived school climate influences adolescents' negative emotions through the chain mediation of school belonging and social avoidance and distress. It also examines demographic differences across gender and grade and tests the structural invariance of the proposed model.
Method: A cross-sectional survey of 1,507 Chinese adolescents in grades 5-9 was conducted using validated scales.
Prediction of the Topologically Nontrivial Phase in Three-Dimensional ABX Zintl Compounds.

Zintl compounds have garnered research interest due to their diverse technological applications. Utilizing first-principles calculations, we performed a systematic study of ABX (A = Li, Na, K, Rb, or Cs; B = Si, Ge, Sn, or Pb; and X = P, As, Sb, or Bi) Zintl materials with the 6 KSnSb-type structure. Notably, six ABX Zintl compounds (RbSiBi, CsSiBi, LiGeBi, KGeBi, RbGeBi, and CsGeBi) were found to have topologically nontrivial phases, as demonstrated by the invariant computed using the hybrid functional HSE06.
