Intentional Self-Regulation (ISR)--broadly defined, goal-directed behavior--is an important skill in promoting positive and adaptive development across the life span. The Selection-Optimization-Compensation (SOC) model of ISR describes goal directed behavior among children, adolescents, and adults. This study used an inductive and deductive…

Objective: Young adulthood (18-25) is the peak age for substance use, but friends who engage in positive behaviors may be protective. The present study examined the direct relation between positive peer affiliation and substance use, and whether positive peer affiliation moderated the relation between self-reported sensation-seeking, future…

One of the themes that runs through Dewey's "Experience and Education" is an argument to the effect that education aims at self-control. The details of this argument reveal close affinity between Dewey's philosophy of education and the ideals of the Enlightenment. They are also strikingly similar to John Locke's thoughts about freedom…

The pedagogical approach--Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)--has been widely adopted around the globe with its dual aims of developing students' second language (L2) proficiency and mastering content knowledge simultaneously. However, its effectiveness remains inconsistent. This inconsistency has led researchers to call for an…

Delay of gratification tasks have an impressive predictive value for various outcomes and are designed to measure self-regulation. Since many behavioural and psychological conditions in children are related to limitations in self-regulation, the extent to which delay tasks can be used as a screening for the detection of psychopathology is…

The purpose of this phenomenographic study was to examine the different ways in which a group of research assistants who varied by university, department and gender understand the anger they feel towards the faculty members with whom they interact. Phenomenographic analysis was conducted on data obtained through face-to-face, semi-structured…

Many AIED systems support self-regulated learning, yet, support for setting and achieving practice goals has received little attention. We examine how middle school students respond to system-recommended practice goals, building on the success of similar data-driven recommendations in other domains. We introduce an adaptive dashboard in an…

A base model was tested composed of insecure attachment at age 3 years, poor emotional and behavioral self-regulation at age 5 years, and weak empathy at age 9 years predicted delinquency at age 15 years with and without the intervening influence of two dimensions of antisocial cognition: moral neutralization and cognitive impulsivity, both of…

This study investigates the cognitive processes of novice students in science learning, with a specific focus on how inhibitory control is employed to overcome a common student misconception about the buoyant force in liquid, which leads to the belief that "the greater the depth an object is in a liquid, the greater the buoyant force it…

Children's academic skills, particularly in the early stages of life, are significantly shaped by the support and resources available in their home learning environments. However, the underlying mechanisms by which the home learning environment influences children's academic skills are not fully understood. To address this gap, the present study…

This study examines the relationship between structural and pragmatic language skills, emotion regulation, and social relationships in children from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. The sample comprised 40 participants (mean age = 9 years; SD = 3.6). Language and social-emotional skills were measured using parent-reported…

The teacher-child relationship may be a critical proximal process or mediating mechanism through which family involvement influences the development of young children's social functioning in preschool. This study examined the extent to which varying degrees and forms of family involvement in early schooling are associated with the social…

Children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show difficulties in recognizing emotions. Similarities and differences between these two clinical groups' emotion recognition (ER) have been little explored. This systematic review aims to summarize the results of comparative…

This study focuses on teachers' regulation of positive emotions and experiences of burnout in the collaborative team-teaching setting. Team teachers experience a variety of positive emotions that they consequently regulate daily in the classroom. Because teachers' emotion regulation has theoretically and empirically been linked to their…

Background: An interplay of emotional and cognitive aspects underlies academic performance. We focused on the contribution of such interplay to text comprehension. Aims: We investigated the effect of worry on comprehension and the role of two potential moderators of this effect: physiological self-regulation as resting heart rate variability (HRV)…
