During adolescence, young people develop crucial capacity for emotion regulation, and family context can be a risk or protective factor for adolescents developing affective disorders. We leveraged data from the Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey (N = 7664) to propose adolescent emotion regulation as a mediator between family conflict, family…

The article analyzes the elements defined in Colombia as relevant to evaluate higher education (HE) quality. Using a literature review as the main source of information, this article reveals the way in which the HE system is a vehicle for a society of self-control and self-realization. Likewise, the implications for different actors involved in…

New perspectives on executive functions propose a greater involvement of context. These perspectives have implications for research in mathematical cognition. We tackle the problem that although individuals clearly exercise inhibitory control in mathematical contexts, researchers find that the relations between inhibitory control and mathematics…

There is ample evidence of bullying victimization-perpetration association. However, little is known about the role of socioemotional variables in reinforcing or mitigating it. There is a need to delve deeper into what victims feel and do that leads them to bully. This study aimed to analyze the moderating role of peer relationship management and…

This research aims to examine the self-regulation of students with different achievement levels toward science learning based on Zimmerman's model including three phases: forethought, performance, and self-reflection. The research was conducted based on the case study from the qualitative research method. The study group consisted of 12 students…

Self-regulation often refers to the executive influence of cognitive resources to alter prepotent responses. The ability to engage cognitive resources as a form of executive process emerges and improves in the preschool-age years while the dominance of prepotent responses, such as emotional reactions, begins to decline from toddlerhood onward.…

As smartphones are emerging as a common device for adolescent, prior studies have provided theoretical and empirical evidence for the factors affecting adolescent smartphone use. However, mainstream research has tended to focus on the negative effects of smartphone. Even though smartphone use can have adverse outcomes, it may also allow students…

Researchers have pointed out the important role of self-regulation in learning. The self-regulated learning (SRL) process consists of three stages (i.e. forethought, performance, and self-reflection), each of which could involve different strategies for achieving the aim of SRL. To enable researchers and teachers to have a whole picture of how…

This study aims to examine the relationship between personality traits and innovation skills among students in the Faculty of Islamic Sciences in Indonesia. Personal information form, Five Factor Personality Scale and Innovation Skills Scale were used as data collection tools. According to results it can be stated that there are significant…

Objective(s): To use self-control and self-determination theories in a grit model with self-control as a mediator of autonomous learning and well-being. Method: A cross-sectional online survey using a convenience sampling approach was employed to recruit 511 university students (70.6% female) with an average age of 25. Results: Grit was positively…

This novel study pushed forth current research by evaluating the effects of a clay art therapy (CAT) program on emotion regulation and the level of hair cortisol as a physiological response. Forty-one students aged 15-17 years with at least a mild form of emotional problems were randomized into a CAT group and a waitlist control (CON) group. The…

The purpose of this study was to examine the perception of post-service educators' use of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills with students experiencing emotional dysregulation in a day treatment school. This study extended previous research by examining the perceptions of teachers using DBT skills with students that are demonstrating…

Metacognition is thinking about thinking, or planning, monitoring, and assessing personal awareness and understanding cognition and thought processes. Teaching Bloom's revised taxonomy can help students progress from lower- to higher-levels of thinking in the learning process. Teachers need to model how they think to help students develop…

Executive functions (EF) have been identified as important predictors of children's proximal and distal development. Recent research highlights pretend play as a potential mechanism for EF development, and there has been a call to identify for whom pretense in most beneficial. The current study investigated whether an association found between…
