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…

Self-regulation--the monitoring and control of thoughts, feelings, and behavior--plays a central role in guiding healthy social development. While the bulk of the literature examining children's self-regulation has focused on how much or how well children can regulate specific cognitive functions or behaviors (e.g., emotion control, delay of…

This study aimed to ascertain the contribution of children's effortful control (EC) to math achievement by testing the mediational involvement of math anxiety. Participants were 704 children (367 girls) aged between 7 and 12 years (M = 9.43, SD = 1.23). Children's EC was measured by parent's report, math anxiety was assessed through self-report,…

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,…

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…

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…

Dance is a creative avenue for self-expression, through which dancers express their feelings; it may help develop their empathetic skills required to perceive and understand emotions. This study aimed to empirically examine the effects of dance and dance achievement on emotional intelligence and emotion regulation. Participants were 280 women…

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…

Dynamic fluctuations in respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) were modelled throughout an emotionally challenging laboratory task, and direct associations between temporal variation in RSA responding and the deployment of specific behavioural emotion regulation (ER) strategies were assessed. Sixty-three 2- to 6-year-old children (47% girls;…

Although extensive research has explored the antecedents of academic procrastination, the role of self-regulatory traits, such as grit, has received comparatively less attention. Additionally, the classroom environment and self-regulatory traits may have joint effects on academic procrastination, but this question has not been adequately…

The ability to control movement is a core element of agency. Previous studies of infant agency have focused on responses to sensory contingencies but neglected the importance of infants' control as a necessary indicator of agency. Here, we test whether infants flexibly control their eye movements with a gaze-contingent eye tracking paradigm.…

Difficulties in academic achievement have been linked to adverse outcomes such as increased problem behavior and delays in development (Hinshaw, 1992). Early education should include training to self-monitor, as self-monitoring can improve academic performance and has a wide range of uses (Harris et al., 2005). Previous literature typically uses…

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…

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…

Objective: The current study explored emotion regulation strategies (ie, suppression, cognitive reappraisal, experiential avoidance) as mediators in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and social anxiety. Participants: One hundred and ninety-three undergraduate students (M[subscript age] = 19.5 years; 83.9% female) were recruited from…
