Robert J. Sternberg; Maren Stern – Roeper Review, 2025
Just as children have fairly consistent attachment styles toward parents, we argue that parents have fairly consistent attachment styles toward children. It generally will be easiest for gifted children to develop their gifts and display them successfully if their parents were securely attached to them. But the children who have experienced…

Marcos José Bernal Marcos; Tania Zittoun; Alex Gillespie – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2025
Retirement is rarely conceptualised in terms of learning and development. However, as the end of professional activity approaches, many people begin to reflect deeply on the past, present, and future of their lives. This potentially profound reflection involves a complex process of learning and development to which research has paid too little…

Flett, Gordon L. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2022
While the importance of having self-esteem is widely recognized and has been studied extensively, another core component of the self-concept has been relatively neglected--a sense of mattering to other people. In the current article, it is argued that mattering is an entirely unique and complex psychological construct with great public appeal and…

Janice M. McCabe – Journal of Postsecondary Student Success, 2023
Over the past two decades, a growing body of research has investigated college students' friendships and how these relationships can both enable and constrain students' success. I review this body of literature, describing the characteristics and processes of college students' friendships. First, I review work that describes characteristics of…

Grace Aba Mensah; Eric Atta Quainoo; Abraham Gyamfi – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2024
Factors influencing intrapersonal and interpersonal abuse, neglect, and quality of life have not received much attention from scholars. Few studies on intrapersonal and interpersonal abuse and neglect have focused on employees in organisations without addressing the problem from children or students' points of view. In light of this knowledge, the…

Geert Franzenburg – Discourse and Communication for Sustainable Education, 2025
How can the use of metaphors promote sustainable resilience in an educational process?

Wielers, Rudi; Hummel, Lisa; van der Meer, Peter – Journal of Education and Work, 2022
Burnout complaints among young workers in The Netherlands are high and increasing. Our research question is whether and how the high burn-out complaints of young workers in the Netherlands are associated with the employment relationships in the flexible labour market. We argue that especially an insecure career perspective contributes to burn-out…

Polychronis, Paul D.; Keyes, Lee N. – Journal of College Student Psychotherapy, 2022
Counseling centers are part of a national practice environment that arguably encourages expedience rather than thoroughness in working with psychological difficulties. In this landscape, diagnosis is a process where symptom identification is preferred over a more complex understanding of clients. The predominant diagnostic tool used by mental…

Erwich, René; van der Stoep, Jan – Christian Higher Education, 2017
Christians are called to be a witness to the coming of the Kingdom of God and to cultivate practices in which peace and justice may flourish. In order to serve God in their daily work, Christians are faced with situations that cause both hope and despair. In this article, we explore what the concept of hope means for the education of Christian…

Slocum, Lee Ann; Esbensen, Finn-Aage; Taylor, Terrance J. – Youth & Society, 2017
Socio-ecological models of victimization reporting incorporate normative constraints and instrumental considerations at the individual and contextual levels. Drawing on this model, we explore factors related to students' willingness to report problem behaviors that they might observe in school. Data obtained from student and teacher/administrator…

Henricks, Thomas S. – American Journal of Play, 2015
The author investigates what he believes one of the more important aspects of play--the experience it generates in its participants. He considers the quality of this experience in relation to five ways of viewing play--as action, interaction, activity, disposition, and within a context. He treats broadly the different forms of affect, including…

Holowchak, M. Andrew – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2013
Plato noticed a sizeable problem apropos of establishing his republic--that there was always a ready pool of zealous potential rulers, lying in wait for a suitable opportunity to rule on their own tyrannical terms. He also recognized that those persons best suited to rule, those persons with foursquare and unimpeachable virtue, would be least…

Mechler, Heather – Journal of College and Character, 2013
In this article, the author explores the existing research on the characteristics of Millennials within historical, social, and economic contexts. While many researchers have made claims about Millennials, they fail to consider how parenting styles, economic factors, historical events, and shifts in educational priorities may have created the…

The recently fashionable theories of positive psychology have educational ramifications at virtually every level of engagement, culminating in the model of positive education. In this critical review, I scrutinize positive education as a potential theory in educational psychology. Special attention is given to conceptual controversies and…
