Interoceptive awareness (IA) refers to one's ability to perceive and recognize internal bodily signals. Our behavioral and emotional responses to interoceptive signals are determined by self-regulation. Therefore, IA and self-regulation have considerable impacts on children's daily occupational engagement and performance. Nonetheless, the…

Distractions are ubiquitous in today's technology-saturated environments, an issue that significantly impacts learning contexts employing digital technologies and yields detrimental effects on learning. Digital self-control tools, which aim to assist users in their efforts to reduce digital distractions, are numerous and readily available. Despite…

Discussions around assessment integrity often focus on the exam conditions and the motivations and values of those who cheated in comparison with those who did not. We argue that discourse needs to move away from a binary representation of cheating. Instead, we propose that the conversation may be more productive and more impactful by focusing on…

Objective: To explore the feasibility and utility of a tolerance break (T-Break) guide on young adults' cannabis use. Participants: Young adults aged 18--29 (n = 125) who were current cannabis users. Methods: Participants recruited through posters and listservs at various universities were offered the T-Break Guide--daily activities, advice, and…

Mobile phone addiction (MPA) has become a prevalent issue among adolescents, which is closely associated with cognitive failure. The present study seeks to explore the network structure of the association between MPA and cognitive failure among adolescents by network analysis, as well as the mediating roles of self-control and mind wandering by…

The pervasive nature of media multitasking in the last fifteen years has sparked extensive research, revealing a nuanced but predominantly negative association with executive function. Given the cognitive demands and technological landscape of the modern battlefield, there is a critical interest in understanding how these findings may or may not…

While people approach creative actions in diverse ways, navigating them effectively requires self-regulatory effort. In this preregistered experiment, we examined whether simple self-regulation prompts, provided across the stages of the creative process, make the outcomes more creative. Participants (N = 332) engaged in one of three creativity…

Background: Despite the growing interest in school-based mindfulness training (SBMT) and its evaluation, evidence on the effectiveness of SBMT is still limited and somewhat inconsistent. Further, knowledge on the role of implementation quality, which is essential for a more widespread use of SBMT, is scarce. Objective: This study examined effects…

The present study examines two self-regulation traits, grit and curiosity, in predicting creative achievement in an adult sample (N = 522). Grit has been related to achievement in various domains, and although prior empirical work failed to find associations with everyday creative activities in adolescent and young adult samples, theoretically it…

A significant tension exists between the necessity for teachers to regulate their emotions and the tendency to overlook these emotions in STEM education. Teachers' emotion regulation is inherently context-sensitive and discipline-specific. Therefore, it is crucial for researchers to explore the particularities of teachers' emotion regulation in…

Learners' attempts to regulate their own motivation for studying in the face of tedious or difficult tasks is an important aspect of self-regulated learning. Therefore, motivation regulation has received increasing attention over the past few years, resulting in numerous publications using different definitions of the construct, samples,…

This manuscript explores the role of somatic embodied practices in promoting teacher well-being and resilience in educational contexts. Drawing from research in education and somatic therapy, the paper argues that somatic embodied practices support emotional regulation, enhance relational trust, and create sustainable teaching environments. By…

The notion of student success in an academic context has garnered much interest over the years, resulting in a multitude of perspectives by which success is defined, understood, and measured. Historically, the institutional measure of success has been most prevalent, namely that success is directly linked to grades. More recently, however,…

Although cumulative evidence has shown that self-control promotes well-being, the underlying psychological mechanisms remain unclear. Studies indicate that basic psychological need satisfaction and self-authenticity may contribute to this relationship. This longitudinal study investigated the associations between self-control and subjective and…

How is it possible to research emotions with minimal disruption? In the research that was the basis for this Case Study, the researcher wanted to understand how participants in a writing group experienced emotions during their academic writing and how they used emotion regulation and interpersonal emotion regulation during writing group sessions.…
