Effects of spatial training on mathematics in first and sixth grade children. - PsycNET
 Effects of spatial training on mathematics in first and sixth grade children. - PsycNET  https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2020-47006-001AbstractA pretest-training-posttest design assessed whether training to improve spatial skills also improved mathematics performance in elementary-aged children. First grade students (mean age = 7 years, n = 134) and sixth grade students (mean age = 12 years, n = 124) completed training in 1 of 2 spatial skills —spatial visualization or form perception/VSWM—or in a nonspatial control condition that featured language arts training. Spatial training led to be...

On the nonlinear association between intelligence and openness: Not much of an effect beyond an average IQ - ScienceDirect
 On the nonlinear association between intelligence and openness: Not much of an effect beyond an average IQ - ScienceDirect  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886920303585AbstractThe linear association between intelligence and openness has been estimated at r  ≈ 0.20 to 0.30. However, little research has examined the possibility of a nonlinear effect between the two dimensions. Consequently, task-based intelligence and self-reported openness data were collected from 371 participants (UK community sample). We found that the association was nonlinear, i.e., the positive eff...

Why grandiose narcissists care so much about intelligence?....hmm..sound like anyone we know?
Conclusion Maintaining feelings of competence, autonomy, and con-trol is an important goal for grandiose narcissists. Because intelligence is helpful for the attainment of these goals, it plays a significant role in the way narcissists ' think, feel, and behave. Narcissists consider intelligence to be an important asset that leads to benefits in the social world. They are highly motivated to maintain a grandiose self-view with regard to intelligence, which enables them to feel good; they defend this self-view against criticism and want to appear smart to other peo-ple. We hope that by taking narcissists ' preoccupation wit...

Sex differences in inductive reasoning: A research synthesis using meta-analytic techniques - ScienceDirect
This study synthesized data concerning sex differences on several different types of inductive reasoning tests in order to assess the evidence for an overall sex difference in manifest scores, as well as whether the magnitude of the sex difference may vary depending on certain test characteristics such as stimuli and item type. Meta-analytic techniques were used to summarize data concerning sex differences in inductive reasoning from 98 studies reporting data from 96,957 adults with mean ages 18 to 64 years. The overall summary effect size was g = +0.13 (range −0.54 to +0.68), however there was significant...

Are gifted students more emotionally intelligent than their non-gifted peers? A meta-analysis: High Ability Studies: Vol 0, No 0
ABSTRACTThis Meta-Analysis investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and giftedness. The study focused on whether gifted learners possessed higher levels of EI when compared with their non-gifted peers. Furthermore, it sought to determine if gifted males and gifted females differed in their EI abilities. A search of published and unpublished studies in English and Arabic from 1990 to 2018 resulted in 21 studies that compared gifted with non-gifted students, and 11 studies that compared gifted males with gifted females in their EI ability. Using a random-effect model, the results showed that gifted s...
