Deqin Tan; Ruibo Xie; Shengcheng Song; Wan Ding – School Mental Health, 2025
Depression is highly prevalent among left-behind children (LBC) in China. Previous research has suggested that attachment relationships may be linked to depression in LBC; however, the connections between different types of attachment relationships and depression, as well as the potential mechanisms involved, remain underexplored. This study…

Fa Zhang; Yaoying Xu; Chin-Chih Chen – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2024
Research shows that motivation is a critical precursor to students' science achievement. However, research on the topic yields ambiguous results in different cultural contexts. While the positive association between motivation and science achievement has been evidenced universally, the relatively predictive effect and strength of different…

Fa Zhang; Christine Lee Bae; Michael D. Broda; Alison C. Koenka – Journal of Experimental Education, 2025
In this study, we investigated the relationships between three pivotal factors that influence student performance, including opportunity-to-learn (OTL) factors, which included proximal indicators that represent science-specific learning opportunities, student motivation (propensity factor), and crucial student and teacher antecedent factors by…

Jennifer P. Agans; Andrea Vest Ettekal; Theresa Melton; Richard M. Lerner – Journal of Character Education, 2023
Sampling multiple sports in childhood is associated with continued participation in sport, but little is known about whether sport sampling may be associated with youth character development, another outcome of widespread interest in the field. Furthermore, even less is known about how sport participation influences development. For example, sport…

Conradi Smith, Kristin; Jang, Bong Gee – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2022
Although both theory and research assert the importance of a reader's self-concept, we lack a nuanced understanding of the underlying subcomponents of reading self-concept as they relate to achievement and whether this relationship might differ for developing readers. In the present study, we examined the reading self-concepts of nearly 500 4th…

Fa Zhang; Xia Zhang; Yu Wang – Psychology in the Schools, 2025
This study investigated how domain specificity of academic motivation related to the connection between instructional clarity and academic achievement in science and mathematics. It focused on three aspects of domain-specific academic motivation--self-concept, intrinsic value, and utility value--drawing from the Expectancy-Value Theory model. The…

McKirahan, John; Lease, A. Michele; Neuharth-Pritchett, Stacey; Kwon, Kyongboon – Elementary School Journal, 2023
To inform teaching practices, we examined elementary learners who were anxious-withdrawn within their naturally occurring affiliation groups at school. Hypotheses addressed the degree to which affiliation group characteristics moderate the relation between individual levels of anxious-withdrawal and internalizing distress. Data from 447 fourth and…

Qingli Lei; Di Liu; Xiuhan Chen; Megan Hirni; Heba Abdelnaby – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
This study investigated the relationship between non-cognitive factors (mathematics anxiety, Emotional Intelligence, and mathematics self-concept) and mathematics performance in students with and without Mathematics Learning Disability (MLD). Participants were 340 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students from a public elementary school. Results showed…

Michelle L. Rivers; Charles J. Fitzsimmons; Susan R. Fisk; John Dunlosky; Clarissa A. Thompson – Grantee Submission, 2021
Prior research has found gender differences in spatial tasks in which men perform better, and are more confident, than women. Do gender differences also occur in people's confidence as they perform number-line estimation, a common spatial-numeric task predictive of math achievement? To investigate this question, we analyzed outcomes from six…
