Problem behaviour in schools may have detrimental effects both on students' well-being and academic achievement. A large literature has consistently found that school-wide positive behaviour support (SWPBS) successfully addresses social and behavioural problems. In this paper, we used population-wide longitudinal register data for all Norwegian primary schools and a difference-in-difference (DiD) design to evaluate effects of SWPBS on a number of primary and secondary outcomes, including indicators of externalising behaviour, school well-being, pull-out instruction, and academic achievement. Indications of reduced classroom noise were found. No other effects were detected. Analyses revealed important differences in outcomes between the intervention and control schools, independent of the implementation of SWPBS, and that a credible design like DiD is essential to handle such school differences.

Listening is understood to be a foundational element in practices that rely on effective conversations, but there is a gap in our understanding of what the effects of high-quality listening are on both the speaker and listener. This registered report addressed this gap by training one group of participants to listen well as speakers discuss their character strengths, allowing us to isolate the role relational listening plays in strengths-based conversations. Participants were paired and randomly assigned to a high-quality listening (experimental) or moderate-quality listening (comparison) condition manipulated through a validated video-based training.

Cogent indicated prevention with young children at risk for early onset conduct problems needs to address multiple domains of influence in school and home settings. A multicontextual preventive intervention (MPI) spanning grades one and two was conducted in schools serving economically disadvantaged communities and evaluated separately for boys and girls. The cluster randomized design evaluated children nested within schools receiving either the MPI (6 schools), which consisted of after-school reading-mentoring, home-based family, peer coping-skills, and classroom components, or a control condition (6 schools) involving a school-wide conflict management program without targeted intervention.

Introduction: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have a profound impact on children's and adolescents' academic performance and overall wellbeing. In contrast, positive childhood experiences help mitigate the negative effects of ACEs on health and wellbeing. Trauma-informed and social-emotional learning (SEL) programs in schools may address these impacts, with school staff playing a pivotal role in ensuring their success and influencing school outcomes.

Background: While positive school climate is important for students' well-being and mental health, school personnel may experience challenges in creating a nurturing school climate. School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SW-PBIS) has shown positive effects on school climate and children's prosocial behaviors, but fewer studies have been conducted in a European context.
Aim: This project aims to investigate the effectiveness of SW-PBIS program for students' social-emotional skills and academic achievement as well as teachers' and students' perceptions of classroom learning environment.
A Test of Reliability: Cranial Rhythmic Impulse for Distant Diagnoses.

Context The osteopathic cranial field suggests that cranial rhythmic impulse (CRI) can be used to examine distal segments. However, there is a lack of research on the reliability of using CRI to diagnose other distal segments. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using the cranial vault hold compared to traditional osteopathic diagnostic techniques to diagnose somatic dysfunctions at the following segments: atlantooccipital joint (OA), atlantoaxial joint (AA), cervical-4 (C4), cervical-7 (C7), thoracic-6 (T6), thoracic-12 (T12), lumbar-3 (L3), sacrum, left innominate, right fibular head, and left radial head.
