Here, we will review the developmental literature on how infants and young children learn about emotions. We take a process-based perspective, highlighting how the protracted trajectory of emotional development unfolds concurrently with changes in children's cognitive abilities, and how variability based on context, culture, and experience shape this trajectory over time. We will also emphasize the role of input into this development, a factor that has often been ignored.

Value, technology, and policy are three interactive societal factors affecting the willingness, capacity, and formal rules of human interactions with water. Existing human-water models generally neglect the dynamic and accumulated processes of these factors, failing to explain the societal causes of changes in water practices. Here we developed nine process-based quantitative datasets of Value-Technology-Policy regarding water.

We investigate the spatial patterns of major geo-hydrological disasters across Italy (for which national-level emergencies were issued), using an innovative target variable (Months in Emergency State - MES), which captures both the recurrence of disasters and the persistence of their impacts. A total of 62 potential predisposing factors were considered, covering four different fields: environmental, territorial planning, soil sealing, and socio-economic. A three-step feature selection process based on Pearson correlation, multicollinearity analysis, and ReliefF algorithm, was applied to reduce redundancy and identify the most relevant predictors (18), which were used in a CatBoost regression model.

Exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy (Ex-CBT) is widely seen as the gold-standard treatment for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Yet, minoritized youth are underrepresented in efficacy studies, raising questions about the applicability of Ex-CBT to minoritized youth. Effectiveness data suggest systematic adaptation of Ex-CBT to address youth culture and context is likely needed, and many clinicians make adaptations and augmentations in practice.

Assessing teacher candidates' self-efficacy in using reading strategies is essential for understanding their academic development. This study developed and validated the Teacher Candidates' Self-Efficacy Scale for Informational Reading Strategies (TCSES-IRS) using a mixed-methods sequential exploratory design. Initial qualitative data from interviews with 33 candidates and a literature review guided item generation.
