Online higher education has become more popular and available than at any other time; however, persistence rates lag behind traditional education rates. To address this problem, self-regulation can be used as a strategy to improve student performance and learning. To support self-regulation, a variety of technological tools are available to…

In this article, promotion is an institutionally mediated effort to bolster or redirect a person's health, strength, and other assets to build resilience. We analyse a Swedish version of the Life in Action promotion programme used in secondary schools in three municipalities. Focusing on types of alienation as framed in the programme, we argue…

Considerable research has addressed whether various academic factors affect involvement in delinquent behavior among youth. Yet few studies have assessed the association between academic underachievement and delinquency. Academic underachievement is defined as school performance, such as measured by grades, that falls below what is predicted by…

Previous research has attempted to understand why countries with relatively favorable conditions and high estimated average IQs (such as Finland and Japan) have a relatively low per capita number of scientific Nobel prizes. In the present study, we examine whether there is a relationship between national schizophrenia and left-handedness…

Habits are critical for supporting (or hindering) long-term goal attainment, including outcomes related to student learning and well-being. Building good habits can make beneficial behaviors (studying, exercise, sleep, etc.) the default choice, bypassing the need for conscious deliberation or willpower and protecting against temptations. Yet…

Objective: To help mitigate potential gambling harm, responsible gambling information centres are launching across casino venues in North America. The launch of the first such centre in the USA provided an opportunity to achieve three goals: (1) document the centre's reach among casino patrons, (2) generate a comprehensive description of services…

This study investigated whether prompting children to generate predictions about an outcome facilitates activation of prior knowledge and improves belief revision. 51 children aged 9-12 were tested on two experimental tasks in which generating a prediction was compared to closely matched control conditions, as well as on a test of executive…

Work intensification has heightened and accelerated the need for Canadian school principals to manage their emotions. This case explores the emotional aspects of a contemporary principal's work in a large urban school and highlights effective coping strategies and approaches used to regulate her emotions. The teaching notes describe several…

Academic stress, an endemic phenomenon in higher education, presents a multifaceted challenge, manifesting as cognitive overload, affective dysregulation and physiological destabilisation. It leads to recurrent feedback loops that reinforce anxiety and frustration, intensifying maladaptive stress responses. This study examines the extent to which…

The research compares teachers working in regular primary schools with those working in special primary schools (for students with mild intellectual disabilities) regarding their emotion regulation strategies and their self-assessed mental health. The sample consisted of 114 Slovenian teachers from regular schools and 60 teachers from special…

Although TBLT has been the subject of many prior studies, no research has addressed the impact of TBLT through social media (SM), specifically the Telegram app, on academic engagement, emotion regulation, willingness to communicate (WTC), and academic well-being. To reach this goal, a convenience sampling method was used to select 58 Iranian…

Introduction: The coronavirus pandemic has swept across the United Kingdom (UK). Given the ever-evolving situation, little is known about the repercussions of coronavirus and the subsequent lockdowns for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Therefore, this study explores the social-communicative impact of the first lockdown…

Self-regulated learning strategies are essential for learning, and to teach learners to use them, teachers must master them. The objective of this study was to identify training priorities for including these strategies in online courses for teachers, and to determine whether opinion influences the use of strategies. The design was…

In this study, I applied Bem's (1981) gender schema theory, Eccles and Wigfield's (1995) expectancy-value theory, and Bandura's (1986) social cognitive theory to examine the underrepresentation of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) leadership. Additionally, I used Clark and Estes's (2008) gap analysis to identify the…

Research has shown links between emotion regulation strategies and child mental health. However, it is not well known how the characteristics of children may moderate these links. The aim of this study was to explore whether environmental sensitivity--the ability to perceive and process information about the environment--moderates links between…
