Background: It is documented that children who stutter, as well as children with autism, may experience diminished well-being relative to children without these conditions. In contrast, almost nothing is documented about well-being of children living with both conditions, most likely because such children are relatively rare and thus challenging…

We present a conceptual impact model illustrating how digital tools can facilitate the fulfillment of basic psychological needs, autonomy, competence and relatedness, which in turn may foster improvements in self-regulation and emotion regulation. The model incorporates features of digital tools such as personalized learning paths, real-time…

Interpersonal competences in relationship building, collaboration and teamwork are essential both in F2F education and in distance or hybrid styles of education. In the face of the COVID-19 crisis, as well as previous trends, some or all of the higher education didactics were transferred to the online environment. In this context, the Online…

Background: Although parents play an instrumental role in youth concussion management, few studies have qualitatively explored youth concussion recovery from the parents' perspective. This study explored parents' experiences with and perceptions of their child's recovery from concussion, particularly with regards to the return-to-school process.…

The aim of the current study is to conduct the validity and reliability studies of the Academic Inertia Scale for Adolescents (AAIS). Inertia is that occurs from not adapting to the current situation, lack of motivation, insufficient self-control and lack of socializing. It has been stated that living in inertia is a result of the individual's…

The implementation of lockdowns that include the closure of educational facilities for face to face teaching has been one of the strategies used internationally to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Research suggests lockdowns are associated with negative impacts on children's psycho-social functioning, Most research, however, has been…

The purpose of this study is to assess the predictive power of the cognitive distortions related to academic success concerning the depression, stress and anxiety levels of adolescents. The sample of research consists of 411 people; 192 (46,7%) were female, 219 (53,3%) were male, with 203 (49,4%) of the group continuing their education at academic…

The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of persistence within STEM learning environments as a function of cumulative stress and latent trauma. The biopsychosocial impact of prolonged stressors due to hostile environments and academic demands has deleterious health effects on historically underrepresented students who enter STEM…

Suicide is a major public health issue, and a leading cause of death in the United States. Caregivers of young children with or at-risk for disabilities and developmental delays may experience significant life stressors that increase their risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Early childhood special education (ECSE) home visitors may be in a…

Owing to the temporary nature of their job position, postdoctoral researchers (postdocs) are among those workers in the academic sector who experience the most job insecurity as well as high levels of turnover intention and disengagement. The present study improves the extant knowledge on the effect of job insecurity on postdocs' cynicism and…

The current study examines if perceived negative changes due to COVID-19 are related to adolescent loneliness, stress and depressive symptoms and whether friendship factors (online friend communication, friend support) serve a protective role in these associations. In total, 993 adolescents (M[subscript age] = 16.09, SD = 1.24) from ethnically…

For contemporary critical philosophers of education, the thought of Paul Tillich, a protestant theologian, does not seem to be a very likely point of reference. Nevertheless, we decided to read some of his works within a philosophical-educational context. Reading those works of Tillich we realized that they required a pedagogical-philosophical…

While perennial in the research landscape, empirical work investigating second language (L2) study emotions has proliferated in the past ten years (Dewaele, 2019). Nevertheless, this article argues there is space for more holistic yet detailed, social yet individual perspectives when conducting such research. As one avenue, the paper explores the…

Although online learning has been studied extensively over the last two decades, students' feedback toward such classes during the COVID-19 pandemic seems essential due to their effects on the education systems. The present exploratory sequential mixed methods study aimed to address university students' affection, perception, and problems in…

There is growing empirical support for the benefits of developing psychological capital (PsyCap), and the effectiveness of PsyCap interventions (PCIs) in the workplace. However, to-date, PCI delivery modes have not been compared. The first study in this article compares a face-to-face to an online PCI. The second study compares an online PCI to a…
