In recent decades, researchers' interest in the role of emotions in individual political learning has grown. However, it is still unclear whether and how discrete emotions are associated with political learning. Through a cross-disciplinary systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis, we reviewed which discrete emotions have been analyzed in…

Stress experienced during high-risk decision-making may impair performance, but can also be a cue, provoking the move from intuitive and automatic application of expertise to reflective and deliberative approaches. This article reports an exploratory intervention designed to provoke reflection-in-action and, ultimately, to improve practice…

The purpose of this quantitative, correlational study was to determine if and to what extent a correlation exists between the stress and resilience of graduate students enrolled in an online master's degree program and their intent to persist at a large university in New England. The theoretical foundation for this study was the metatheory of…

Academic stress among adolescents can undermine academic achievement and harm mental health. Levels of academic stress vary considerably across countries and education systems, but little is known regarding the causes of this variation. In this paper, I develop a theoretical framework positing that stress will be lower in education systems that…

Extant literature has demonstrated that children's diurnal stress physiology often looks different on childcare versus home days. Specifically, children experience a rise in cortisol, rather than a decline, over the day while in full-time care. Additionally, temperamental fit within classroom environment may influence both child and teacher…

Individuals who cope well with challenges may engage in social situations more successfully. We examined the association between coping behaviors, self-perceived competence, and social anxiety in everyday social situations. A total of 133 participants between the ages of 10 and 16 years (82 autistic, 51 neurotypical) carried a mobile device that…

Depression and anxiety symptoms have risen in the last decade, especially among college students. Virtues are potentially strong predictive factors of mental health symptoms, but a minimal amount of research has explored "which" virtues are the strongest predictors. We examined the relative predictive strength of gratitude, forgiveness,…

The polarisation of attitudes towards dyslexia appears to be contingent upon the awareness of the implications of adopting a medical model to interpreting dyslexia (as a medical 'condition') or applying an educational overlay, based upon difficulties in certain areas, to interpreting and making provision for those with dyslexia. Specifically, it…

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to quantify differences in loneliness levels between autistic and neurotypical samples and investigate the association between loneliness and mental health in autistic individuals. Methods: Three meta-analyses were conducted. Studies were methodologically appraised using established tools. Results: Overall,…

Social anxiety is a mental illness and can lead to problematic behaviors in adolescents, which can have a detrimental effect on student academic success. The purpose of this study was to determine if a correlation existed between social anxiety and academic achievement emotions in virtual high school students. I used the control-value theory of…

The study aimed to examine the stress in educators and how performance evaluations may be impacted. It examined the stress indicators of educators in South Dakota, using the Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching (FFT). The focus of the study was based on five connected themes. Those themes were increased responsibilities, limited personal and…

Female children with profound intellectual disabilities (IDs) may experience symptoms of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and depend on others' care. However, their caregivers may lack general hygiene skills and experience heightened anxiety when their care is expected. This study reports outcome of a training that aims to enhance genital hygiene…

Children and young people today are growing up in an increasingly urban, technical, virtual and ecologically precarious world, leaving many feel disconnected from nature yet anxious about its degradation at the same time. Two distinct bodies of knowledge -- namely youth human-nature relationships and youth eco-anxiety -- are concerned with the…

The present study explored the correlation between different types of stress (acute and chronic) and the influence of their negative emotional manifestations on delinquent tendencies in adolescent students. Within the framework of the general strain theory, the study aims to analyse the intermediary role of depression in the relationship between…

Academic help-seeking can allow students to moderate their anxiety in difficult academic contexts, but students often shy away from asking for needed assistance. Muddiest point assignments in a hybrid human anatomy and physiology (A&P) course can address student struggles with academic help-seeking by making it an activity in which all…
