The present study explores moral identity, moral emotion attribution, moral responsibility, acceptability, and moral decisions in adolescents. We hypothesized that moral identity predicts moral decisions in adolescents. Furthermore, we hypothesized that moral emotions mediate the relationship between moral identity and moral decisions and moral…

The present study analyzes Imposter Phenomenon (IP) through the lens of three different motivational frameworks. Expectancy Value Theory, Attribution Theory, and Self-Determination Theory were used to study IP among academics. With 72% of participants experiencing frequent or intense IP levels, IP was prevalent among those sampled. Females…

Achievement motivation is a significant contributor to the foreign language learning process. This study explored the achievement perceptions of English as a foreign language (EFL) learners who were studying at different higher education institutions with dissimilar degree programs, such as a vocational college, an undergraduate program in a…

Addressing legacies of past injustice is a central concern for transitional justice. It has most commonly been attempted through a 'truth-telling' approach; it is assumed that if the truth of past injustices is made known, then justice can be acted upon within contemporary society. 'Truth telling'--and disciplinary approaches to learning about…

The relationship between students' subject-specific academic self-concept and their academic achievement is one of the most widely researched topics in educational psychology. A large proportion of this research has considered cross-lagged panel models (CLPMs), oftentimes synonymously referred to as reciprocal effects models (REMs), as the gold…

Despite enrollment increases in institutions of higher education, Black/African Americans still hold one of the lowest rates of doctoral degree attainment compared to other racial and ethnic groups. Doctoral education provides an opportunity for pioneering ideas and breakthroughs in a variety of fields as the core purpose of doctoral education is…

Attribution theory is concerned with why outcomes occur such as "Why did I fail the exam?" or "Why are they picking on me?" (Weiner, 1986, 2018; see Graham, 2020 for a review). Although this article focuses on achievement, attributions are relevant to the social as well as the achievement domain. Both questions concern failure…

The purpose of this work is to identify contextual variables that help to explain the occupational aspirations of Spanish 15-year-old students. This is done by performing a secondary analysis of the PISA2018 test. Data have been analysed using decision trees introducing the students' expected occupational status as a dependent variable (DV), and…

Children's self-regulation has been studied from a cognitive-behavioral perspective. However, the vital learning process involves how students absorb, assimilate, and respond to surrounding factors; thus, self-regulation also should be examined from a sociocultural perspective to support children's autonomous rather than controlled…

The present study had a dual objective: to verify the existence of profiles of anxious students and to relate the possible profiles with causal self-attributions in the area of mathematics. The sample consisted of 1,730 Chilean children from 9 to 11 years old (M = 10.05; SD = 1.03). The Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety-Revised and the Sydney…

Studies of academic recovery courses (ARCs) focus almost exclusively on academic outcomes, such as postcourse grade point average (GPA) and academic standing. This study explores the role of noncognitive factors--specifically attribution perspective, shame resilience, and academic identity--for students engaged in ARCs. Pre- and postcourse data…

Using an international education database, PISA 2012, this study compares 15-year-old students' mathematics anxiety and its relationships with educational issues among five Asia Pacific economies (Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Shanghai, & Singapore), using descriptive, figural, partial correlative, multiple regressive, and factor analysis…

Research has suggested that the relationship between previous academic achievement and student variables is mediated by parent and teacher expectations of the child's ability and future success. The goal of this study was to analyze the mediating role of teachers' expectations and teachers' perceptions of parents' expectations between previous…

This paper studies learners' emotion awareness in university level academic contexts as a first step to help learners regulate their emotions. Existing emotion awareness tools offer little information on learners' emotions and their antecedents. This study created an emotion-reporting grid for university students based on the emotions they…

The purpose of this study was to understand how secondary teachers in urban secondary schools from large districts in the Southwestern United States who utilize restorative practice in the classroom describe the social and emotional learning behaviors (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible…
