Previous studies have reported the importance of regulation in collaborative learning. To understand and support students' learning, researchers have identified that regulation in collaboration emerges as a series of contingent activities at individual and social levels, addressing various learning foci in cognitive, motivational, emotional, and…

Difficulties regulating emotions have been coined as inherent to autism, possibly even presenting a core difficulty of autism. While several models of emotion regulation have been proposed in the past, in this targeted review article, we aim to map emotion regulation difficulties in autistic individuals within the framework of the extended process…

How are ideas born? Contrary to commonly held beliefs, creative performance, like any goal-oriented action, requires understanding and managing one's own cognitive processes -- thus, efficient metacognition. Recently, a systematic framework of creative metacognition (CMC) has been proposed, assuming the relevance of metacognitive knowledge,…

Mathematical ability is a crucial component of human cognitive function, which is defined as the ability to acquire, process, and store mathematical information. While many studies have documented a close relationship between elementary school children's inhibitory control and their mathematical ability, existing empirical evidence remains…

Math anxiety has significant implications for math achievement and math-related career paths. Previous research on antecedents of math anxiety primarily focused on individual factors, while the role of the contextual effect of school has received limited attention. This study sought to address this gap by examining the effect of school-average…

The present study aimed to analyse if self-control, self-esteem and self-efficacy are related to the use of artificial intelligence tools. These tools are being incorporated to educational practices, but there is a lack of empirical evidence about the relation between artificial intelligence use by students and their personal and psychological…

Background: Accumulating evidence substantiates the adverse impact of psychological maltreatment on children's emotion regulation. Nevertheless, scant research has explored the relationship between psychological maltreatment and automatic emotion regulation (AER), along with its underlying neural mechanisms. Objective: This study aims to…

To explore the relationships between autistic traits, self-control, mindfulness, and sleep quality, and the mechanism underlying these relationships, we recruited a sample of 972 junior high school students who completed a survey consisting of the Chinese version of the Comprehensive Autistic Trait Inventory-short form, Self-Control Scale, Child…

The current study investigated the mediating role of academic engagement in the association between the teacher--student relationship and academic achievement, and whether self-control moderates the mediating process. The sample consisted of 1411 Chinese adolescents (M[subscript age] = 16.77 years, 543 boys) aged between 11 and 19 years.…

Young children's self-regulation (SR) skills are linked to many important outcomes across the lifespan and school stakeholders widely agree that these skills should be prioritized in schools. Despite broad agreement about the importance of these skills, the diverse field of SR research is rife with a lack of clarity in both conceptual definitions…

Objective: To explore the feasibility and utility of a tolerance break (T-Break) guide on young adults' cannabis use. Participants: Young adults aged 18--29 (n = 125) who were current cannabis users. Methods: Participants recruited through posters and listservs at various universities were offered the T-Break Guide--daily activities, advice, and…

Background: Despite the growing interest in school-based mindfulness training (SBMT) and its evaluation, evidence on the effectiveness of SBMT is still limited and somewhat inconsistent. Further, knowledge on the role of implementation quality, which is essential for a more widespread use of SBMT, is scarce. Objective: This study examined effects…

The present study examines two self-regulation traits, grit and curiosity, in predicting creative achievement in an adult sample (N = 522). Grit has been related to achievement in various domains, and although prior empirical work failed to find associations with everyday creative activities in adolescent and young adult samples, theoretically it…

A significant tension exists between the necessity for teachers to regulate their emotions and the tendency to overlook these emotions in STEM education. Teachers' emotion regulation is inherently context-sensitive and discipline-specific. Therefore, it is crucial for researchers to explore the particularities of teachers' emotion regulation in…

Learners' attempts to regulate their own motivation for studying in the face of tedious or difficult tasks is an important aspect of self-regulated learning. Therefore, motivation regulation has received increasing attention over the past few years, resulting in numerous publications using different definitions of the construct, samples,…
