This manuscript thinks with Harriet Jacobs; I am concerned with the otherwise worlds, the productions of Black Joy that Black people devise while in the crawlspace, understood here as higher education contexts. Whereas the condition of Black life is in an antagonistic relationship with society, I ask, what is the sound, look, and feeling of Black…

The current study addressed the often-overlooked role of epistemic emotions in refuting misinformation by replicating and expanding on the work of Trevors and Kendeou (2020). It broadened the participant pool beyond well-educated college students and introduced a novel dynamic measure, "DynamicEmo," to capture epistemic emotions…

The allocation of attention to threatening stimuli is an evolutionarily salient aspect of development; however, different factors such as clinical symptomology and temperamental traits may relate to alterations in these attentional patterns. The current study used eye-tracking to investigate the attentional patterns of 60 preschool-aged children…

Because Black girls are seen as oppositional to middle-class, white femininity and positioned as unworthy of protection within oppressive systems, Black girl play is deemed dangerous. Thus, we created The Black Girl Collective (BGC) and convened to consider: What do we learn from witnessing Black girls' joyful acts through their digital dance…

Examining emotion recognition and response to music can isolate recognition of and resonance with emotion from the confounding effects of other social cues (e.g., faces). In a within-sample design, participants aged 5-6 years in the eastern region of the United States (N = 135, M[subscript age] = 5.98, SD[subscript age] = 0.54; 78 female, 56 male;…

Designers are always pursuing design with suitable emotions. Effective emotional fusion not only produces a good user experience but also extends the product lifecycle. The decoding of design emotion and the use of design emotion language should run through the entire design process. In this study, we propose a new emotion-embedded design flow…

Research on malevolent creativity has rarely linked the generation of harmful ideas with their implementation (i.e., malevolent innovation). To explain why people might act upon their malevolently creative ideas, we drew on affective events theory. Specifically, given evidence that aggressive and creative thought events can elicit positive…

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the components of a profound moment. We provisionally defined a profound moment as an experience that intentionally or unintentionally continues to surface in consciousness, has transformed an individual's fundamental perspectives, and been integrated into an individual's life. Participants who…

In this research, we explored how the two dimensions of creativity--novelty and utility--interact to influence employees' in-role performance. Drawing on flow theory, we hypothesize that the interaction between novelty and utility indirectly and positively affects in-role performance via flow. We also hypothesize that learning goal orientation…

Transitioning from school to tertiary education can be daunting and overwhelming, and neither students nor institutions are necessarily prepared for these transitions. Some students may even experience multiple transitions in their academic programmes. This paper focuses on the multiple transition stages during the first year of the medical…

This article explores the significant yet under-researched relationship between students' experiences of time and their emotions during university studies. We frame our study through two existing theoretical concepts of time, that of timescapes and time-as-affect, to illuminate the subjective, contextual nature of time and how students'…

As a kind of innovation that can bring breakthrough technologies or products, deviant innovation is regarded as an important force to promote scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and how to effectively drive technological employees to conduct deviant innovative behaviors has become a hot issue for managers. Supervisor…

At the heart of the neoliberal university, affective energies linked to roles, responsibilities, expectations, policies, and bodies impact the atmosphere of university life. Associate professors report the highest levels of dissatisfaction among all ranks, as they find themselves entangled in affective knots. To understand these knots in associate…

Persistence is a critical factor that significantly predicts life outcomes. Although individual differences in persistence emerge early in life, the knowledge of effective strategies for cultivating persistence in young children remains limited. Based on these two studies, we suggest that emotional validation, defined as the acceptance of emotions…

Drawing from rememory and decolonial theory, this collaborative piece illustrates how three Puerto Rican educators and researchers partnered with a Puerto Rican scholar, activist and children's book author to engage in inquiry cycles. These inquiry cycles centred our general experiences with children's literature and the author's work. After…
