Determining the mechanisms underlying the relationships between emotional autonomy and subjective well-being is necessary for understanding the psychological functioning of adolescents. The current study examined inner prosociality and hope as serial mediators in the relationships from emotional autonomy to subjective well-being. Using convenience…

While previous research on private tutoring has focused predominantly on its meso- or macro-level determinants, this qualitative study, anchored in the literature on parental involvement, explores proximal factors, including psychological and situational influences, that affect parental decisions to seek private tutoring. The study is based on…

Mathematics teachers' professional learning is moving away from prescriptive professional development (PD) toward collaborative, practice-based models--such as video-clubs and lesson co-design--which provide teachers with space and time to discuss problems of practice among peers. Some models, which we term "process-oriented",…

This study identifies the intercultural and contextual stressors experienced by undergraduate international students in a business program at a private Canadian university. Using a sequential mixed-methods design, we drew on Redfield et al.'s (1936) concept of acculturation and Berry's (2001) theoretical model. First, we invited all international…

The rapid advancement of technology has presented marginalized communities in libraries with numerous privacy and security challenges. Many researchers have emphasized the importance of Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs), suggesting that these technical solutions can effectively assist users in safeguarding their personally identifiable…

Drawn from expectancy-value, self-regulated learning, self-determination, and growth mindset theories, our investigation explored multilevel models of homework management among middle school students in Türkiye. At the student level, homework management was positively related to homework interest, homework effort, self-regulatory purpose, parent…

This study examined the stability/change trajectories of future expectations during high school, analyzing whether adolescents' sex, attachment to parents and peers, multiple risk, and pandemic-related stress explained these trajectories. The sample included 467 Portuguese adolescents, assessed three times across 18 months. Results revealed that…

Several studies have examined the content of Japanese junior high school textbooks in relation to various frequency-based word lists such as the New General Service List (NGSL) (Browne et al., 2013) (e.g, Nakayama, 2022a,b) and the British National Corpus (BNC) (e.g, Wongsarnpigoon, 2018), and have identified potential issues in terms of lexical…

This study examines the relationships among problem-solving (PS), perceived financial strain (PFS), economic hope (EH), education (ED), and life satisfaction (LS) across 32 countries with varying income levels, using data from 57,545 respondents. A moderated mediation model tests five hypotheses regarding their direct, mediating, and moderating…

The study addressed leadership knowledge sharing among elementary school principals. School principals' comments regarding difficulty sharing what they have learned on the job about leadership gave impetus to investigating components of leadership that are not readily shared. Their comments implied both limited opportunities and limited language…

This study advances an e-learning adoption model by exploring the link between Performance Expectancy (PE) and Behavioural Intention (BI) to adopt e-learning among undergraduate students in Kenya's public universities. Using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), data were collected from a sample of 388 respondents through…

We integrated perspectives from achievement goal theory and expectancy-value theory to investigate how undergraduate students' (N = 475) achievement motivation might influence their instructional dissent. A latent profile analysis of students' achievement goals, performance self-efficacy, task value, and perceived cost revealed four distinct…

Bias incidents in the workplace can create a pattern of behavior that damages organizational climate not only for victims but also bystanders who witness these incidents. Using incivility and threat ridigity research as a guiding framework, we explore the mitigating potential of bystander intervention on the relationship between bias incidents and…

Expectancy-value theory of achievement motivation has attracted the interest of many researchers over the last four decades. However, little research has discussed the situative and culturally focused aspects of this theory. The present study aims to validate a Chinese version of the expectancy value scale (EVS) and compare mathematics achievement…

Over the last years, there is a growing interest in studying students' difficulties with rational numbers from a cognitive/developmental perspective, focusing on the role of prior knowledge in students' understanding of rational numbers. The present study tests the effect of the "whole" or "natural number bias" (i.e., the…
