Dynamic testing and test anxiety amongst gifted and average-ability children (2016)
Journal Article
Vogelaar, B., Bakker, M., Elliott, J., & Resing, W. (2017). Dynamic testing and test anxiety amongst gifted and average-ability children. British Journal of Educational Psychology, 87(1), 75-89. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjep.12136

Background Dynamic testing has been proposed as a testing approach that is less disadvantageous for children who may be potentially subject to bias when undertaking conventional assessments. For example, those who encounter high levels of test anxiet... Read More about Dynamic testing and test anxiety amongst gifted and average-ability children.

Progression paths in children’s problem solving: The influence of dynamic testing, initial variability, and working memory (2016)
Journal Article
Resing, W., Bakker, M., Pronk, C., & Elliott, J. (2017). Progression paths in children’s problem solving: The influence of dynamic testing, initial variability, and working memory. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 153, 83-109. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2016.09.004

The current study investigated developmental trajectories of analogical reasoning performance of 104 7- and 8-year-old children. We employed a microgenetic research method and multilevel analysis to examine the influence of several background variabl...

Dynamic testing and transfer: An examination of children's problem-solving strategies (2016)
Journal Article
Resing, W., Bakker, M., Pronk, C., & Elliott, J. (2016). Dynamic testing and transfer: An examination of children's problem-solving strategies. Learning and Individual Differences, 49, 110-119. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lindif.2016.05.011

This study examined the problem-solving behaviour of 104 children (aged 7–8 years) when tackling construction-analogy tasks. Children were allocated to one of two conditions: either a form of unguided practice alone or this in combination with traini...

Progress in the inductive strategy-use of children from different ethnic backgrounds: a study employing dynamic testing (2016)
Journal Article
Resing, W., Touw, K., Veerbeek, J., & Elliott, J. (2017). Progress in the inductive strategy-use of children from different ethnic backgrounds: a study employing dynamic testing. Educational Psychology, 37(2), 173-191. https://doi.org/10.1080/01443410.2016.1164300

This study investigated potential differences in inductive behavioural and verbal strategy-use between children (aged 6–8 years) from indigenous and non-indigenous backgrounds. This was effected by the use of an electronic device that could present a...

Leaders’ smiles reflect cultural differences in ideal affect (2016)
Journal Article
Tsai, J., Ang, J., Blevins, E., Goernandt, J., Fung, H., Jiang, D., …Haddouk, L. (2016). Leaders’ smiles reflect cultural differences in ideal affect. Emotion, 16(2), 183-195. https://doi.org/10.1037/emo0000133

Cultures differ in the emotions they teach their members to value (“ideal affect”). We conducted 3 studies to examine whether leaders’ smiles reflect these cultural differences in ideal affect. In Study 1, we compared the smiles of top-ranked America... Read More about Leaders’ smiles reflect cultural differences in ideal affect.

Using creativity to predict future academic performance: An application of Aurora's five subtests for creativity (2016)
Journal Article
Mourgues, C., Tan, M., Hein, S., Elliott, J., & Grigorenko, E. (2016). Using creativity to predict future academic performance: An application of Aurora's five subtests for creativity. Learning and Individual Differences, 51, 378-386. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lindif.2016.02.001

In this study, we investigated the specific contribution of creativity, as assessed by the five creativity subtests of the Aurora Battery, to future academic performance, independently of past academic performance. Specifically, in a sample of 1165 7... Read More about Using creativity to predict future academic performance: An application of Aurora's five subtests for creativity.

Clustered randomised controlled trial of two education interventions designed to increase physical activity and well-being of secondary school students: The MOVE Project (2016)
Journal Article

(2016). Clustered randomised controlled trial of two education interventions designed to increase physical activity and well-being of secondary school students: The MOVE Project. BMJ Open, 6(1), Article e009318. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2015-009318

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of two interventions in improving the physical activity and wellbeing of secondary school children. Design: A clustered randomised controlled trial; classes, one per school, were assigned to one of three interve...
