Surveys of egocentric networks are especially vulnerable to methods effects. This study combines a true experiment--random assignment of respondents to receive essentially identical questions from either an in-person interviewer or an online survey--with audio recordings of the in-person interviews. We asked over 850 respondents from a general…

In this autoethnographic article I reflect on my experiences as a now-tenured faculty member of color, which have been punctuated by incivility, bullying, stress, and abuse. As part of reconciling several acute events, I came to a distinct realization of what I had been going through; I was able to name it, and I was able to articulate the…

Change is the sine qua non of emotion regulation (ER) and, thus, to understand ER we must analyze its temporal dynamics. Articles in the ER section of this special issue provide strong empirical evidence for the centrality of temporal dynamics in the development of ER on 3 levels: Rapid changes in spatial and temporal dynamics across multimodal…

The present study aims to determine whether level of self talk behaviors of athletes is one of the determinants of their continuous confidence levels. Whereas totally 358 athletes (X[subscript age]= 23.77 ± 3.87) were voluntarily participated into this study, 180 of them were female (X[subscript age]= 22.76 ± 3.050) and 236 of them were male…

Trait meta-mood refers to people's conscious awareness of their own emotions. This reflexive process is relevant to developing a better adaptation to the environment, understanding the individual differences in how people perceive and attend to emotions, and how they can understand and regulate them in an optimal way. Previous research has…

Collective teacher efficacy has been introduced as the number one impact on students' achievement by John Hattie and has drawn increasing attention from educational researchers. This study presents the theoretical background of collective teacher efficacy and some empirical findings of this new number one visible learning factor. The paper also…

While impostor syndrome or impostor phenomenon ("IP") is prevalent in higher education, with known negative effects, no study has yet investigated the experiences of IP among educational developers. After first reviewing prior research on the phenomenon, we use survey data to describe its frequency and manifestations within educational…

This chapter considers psychological and neuroscience research on how people understand the integers, and how educators can foster this understanding. The core proposal is that new, abstract mathematical concepts are built upon known, concrete mathematical concepts. For the integers, the relevant foundation is the natural numbers, which are…

Learning analytics has been widely used in the field of education. Most studies have adopted a learning analytics dashboard to present data on learning processes or learning outcomes. However, only presenting learning analytics results was not sufficient and lacked personalised feedback. In response to these gaps, this study proposed a learning…

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effectiveness of a training programme on constructive thinking skills in reducing the psychological defeatism level and attitude towards intellectual extremism among university students and to examine the continuity of its effectiveness after the follow-up period. A quasi-experimental research…

Persons with Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities (PIMD) are supported by professional caregivers for a large part of their lives. However, the perspectives of professional caregivers on good or poor Quality of Live (QoL) of persons with PIMD have hardly been explored. To explore the perspective of professional caregivers on QoL of…

This paper proposes an explanation of how diversity training can reduce employee turnover in a diverse organization. Researchers have paid much attention to the positive, and sometimes negative, effects of workforce diversity. Much has been learned, but there remain unanswered questions such as: How does firm behavior affect employee turnover in a…

Writing a thesis is often the culminating experience for undergraduate students enrolled in university honors programs in the United States. Because writing a thesis is one of the most difficult academic tasks that an undergraduate student may undertake, it requires a high level of self-efficacy, or belief in one's capabilities to achieve certain…

The transition to college is a critical determinant of student success in higher education. Increasingly, students' parents play a key role in supporting their sons and daughters as they adjust to the academic and social demands of university. However, little research has been conducted into parents' experiences of their child's transition to…

When students feel alienated, they develop various avoidance strategies, such as becoming spectators, blending into the background, faking participation, pretending to be sick or have an injury, or simply not attending class. Consequently, students lose out on opportunities to improve their skills and interact with others, which alienates them…
