Cognitive Empathy In Preschool-Aged Children, Kimberlee V. Holness, Diana Montague
Cognitive Empathy In Preschool-Aged Children, Kimberlee V. Holness, Diana Montague
Undergraduate Research
Empathy has both both affective and cognitive features. Affective empathy relates to coming to “feel” how another person is feeling; cognitive empathy relates to “knowing” another person’s internal state including their thoughts and feelings. Previous research (e.g., Strayer & Roberts, 1989) revealed evidence of affective empathy and cognitive empathy in older but not younger children. Montague and Ulmer (2014) suggested that the stimulus presentations used in prior studies may not have been valid for use with young children. To this end, they created video presentations of preschool-aged children to use as stimulus presentations. Using these, they found that preschool-aged children …

Assessing The School District Of Philadelphia, John R. Schatz
Assessing The School District Of Philadelphia, John R. Schatz
Undergraduate Research
The education system in Philadelphia is a failed system. One of the tools to quantify the failure is the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) test results. Other measurements, such as SAT scores and graduation rates, also indicate that the education system is failing. After examining the results of these quantifying processes, the historical relationships that the School District has with various levels of government, and the mismanagement of resources in the district, it becomes clear that one of the major issues harming the quality of education in Philadelphia is the lack of funding.
