Abstract:
Special education for the behaviorally disordered is characterized as at an adolescent stage of development. Seven characteristics of adolescence are discussed as they apply to special education: (a) overestimation of abilities and importance, (b) underestimation of needs, (c) misinterpretation of parents “withitness”. (d) lack of tolerance for ambiguity, (e) uncertain identity, (f) residual belief in magic and regret about loss of innocence, and (g) impulsivity and the desire for immediate gratification. Professional growth and maturity related to each of these characteristics is discussed.

Abstract:
Objectives This study aims to investigate potential gender differences in middle school students' self-assessment of their abilities during academic exam situations. Focusing on the potential emergence of overconfidence bias when predicting their own exam scores, we examined how the Dunning-Kruger effect interacts with an inherent trait-gender, and the illusion of competence based on the type of science exams (multiple-choice/shortanswer questions) as observed in prior research. The objective is to collectively ascertain whether such gender- based distinctions exist.

Abstract:
Two experiments examine the abilities of 10 subjects to visualize directions shown on a perspective display. Subjects indicated their perceived directions by adjusting a head-mounted cursor to correspond to the direction depicted on the display. This task is required of telerobotic operators who use map-like pictures of their workspace to determine the direction of objects seen by direct view. Results show significant open-loop, judgement biases that may be composed of errors arising from misinterpretation of the map geometry and overestimation of gaze direction.

Abstract:
Being overconfident in one’s abilities is connected to poor self-judgment and it is essential to find ways how to reduce this phenomenon. The aim of the study was to research whether the act of taking a reading literacy test can be an effective means of reducing the overconfidence effect in the sample of Slovak teachers. Using purposive sampling method, a sample of 225 teachers from across school levels was obtained. The levels of overestimation (OE) and overplacement (OPE) effects were compared before and after having undergone the reading literacy test. The results showed that even just taki

Abstract:
Background: Although stereotype threat is a well-documented phenomenon, previous studies examining it in older adults have almost exclusively focused on objective cognitive outcomes. Considerably less attention has been paid to the impact of stereotype threat on older adults' subjective assessments of their own abilities or to the impact of stereotype threat in noncognitive domains. Objective: Older adults are stereotyped as having experienced not only cognitive declines, but physical declines as well. The current study tested the prediction that stereotype threat can negatively influence olde

Abstract:
Though public schools are charged with promoting democratic values, they rarely explicitly teach students how to analyze issues from ethical perspectives. Lack of teacher training, competition for time and overestimation of students’ abilities to independently discern the ethical considerations of complex situations may explain its absence from many social sciences curricula. While the ability to consider actions from an ethical lens is critical to the democratic process, class discussions about controversial issues can unravel quickly when self-serving or emotional dynamics dominate an activi

Abstract:
The unstructured employment interview is one of the most popular selection tools among employers and applicants alike. Although past research has shed light on some explanations for practitioners’ preferences for unstructured methods, less is known about the reasons for their popularity among applicants. One reason might be that applicants overestimate recruiters’ intuitive abilities to make judgments about applicant characteristics based on resumes and interviews. The results of this study (N = 345) suggest that recruiters are perceived as much better than laypeople at making judgments about

Abstract:
This chapter takes as its vantage point the fact that leadership is not something that can be taught or learned as a set of objective and universal skills and abilities. Thus, in dealing with an array of mixed and demanding leadership expectations, individuals may fall short of appropriate means to develop realistic leadership self-efficacy. Various dysfunctional misperceptions may be the result, including imposter syndrome, the Dunning-Kruger effect and/or succumbing to narcissistic personality types. What kinds of organizational support help individuals avoid or maneuver out of such dysfunct
