The current study examined whether moral disengagement would mediate the association between adolescents' teacher-student relationships and classroom incivility and sex and age differences in this mediation model. We also examined whether the mediating effect of moral disengagement would be moderated by negative coping styles. Participants…

The association between the quality of teacher-student relationships and children's psychological adjustment has been mainly studied in Western countries; however, this research topic is gaining more interest in Eastern countries. Based on attachment theory and empirical evidence, this cross-sectional study examined the relationship between…

Teaching presence has the potential to influence learning engagement. But the specific role of teaching presence in learning engagement is yet to be explored. Hence, I surveyed 1,328 college students in China through an online questionnaire. The structural equation modeling analysis result indicates that the five dimensions of teaching presence…

This study used a cross-lagged design to examine the longitudinal relations between teacher-child conflict and children's problem behavior during the preschool years based on a stratified sample of 515 Chinese preschool children. Children's problem behavior was reported by parents, and teachers rated their levels of conflict with children. Results…

A growing number of toddlers are attending childcare institutions as part of China's establishment of its infant-toddler childcare service system.
