This construct was introduced into the field of language teaching to delineate language teachers' psychological state. Productive teacher immunity is defined as language teachers' psychological shield that safeguards them against diverse stress-inducing…

The present research aimed to explore the role of media consumption, governmental distrust, and psychological vulnerability in predicting the practical well-being of university students and healthcare professionals during COVID-19. Two correlational studies were conducted. Study 1 was conducted with 411 university students (206 Women; 205 men),…

The current study addressed the relationship between subjective memory complaints and negative affect, well-being, and demographic variables by investigating the Hungarian version of Multifactorial Memory Questionnaire. The original factor structure showed a poor fit on our data; therefore, principal component analysis was conducted on data from…

Experiences in gender-sexuality alliances (GSAs) could predict youth's academic engagement through improved social-emotional wellbeing (indicated by school belonging, hope, and positive and negative affect). This study utilized three waves of data, each spaced 2-3 months apart, among 627 youth (87% LGBQ+, 45% trans/nonbinary, 48% youth of color)…

We contribute to this debate by drawing on PISA 2018 data from a total of 61,722 students, 2528 schools, and nine countries. For our investigation, we test multiple associated measurement models for convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity, model fit, and…

More generally, how do recalled…
