Louis R. Bodkin – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Excessive drinking is commonplace among college students and can lead to numerous negative consequences.

Past research…

Newsham, Tina M. K.; Schuster, Amy M.; Guest, M. Aaron; Nikzad-Terhune, Katherina; Rowles, Graham D. – Educational Gerontology, 2021
College students are poised to take on important leadership roles in society, and as such, it is vital that they understand the interests and needs of people throughout the life course and that they do not harbor ageist believes that may play out in the policies they enact, the services they provide, or the products they create. Many college…

Silvia Perez-Cortes – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2025
Verbal morphology has been identified as a particularly vulnerable domain for adult heritage speakers (HSs) of Spanish, especially when it involves the selection of subjunctive mood. A minimal amount is known, however, about the potential effects of the variability associated with these forms on the acquisition of related epiphenomena, such as the…

Inequality in college has both structural and psychological causes; these include the presence of self-defeating beliefs about the potential for growth and belonging. Such beliefs can be addressed through large-scale interventions in the college transition (Walton & Cohen, 2011; Walton et al., 2023) but are hard to measure. In our…

Mumper, Micah L.; Gerrig, Richard J. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
While research has repeatedly found evidence that readers infer characters' emotions, we investigate three outstanding questions about the content and time course of such inferences. We ask whether even simple narratives give rise to emotion inferences, in what form such inferences are encoded into long-term memory, and whether they are uniquely…

Willingness to Communicate and Oral Communicative Performance through Asynchronous Video Discussions
Jaramillo Cherrez, Nadia; Nadolny, Larysa – Language Learning & Technology, 2023
Speaking in a foreign/second language is a challenge for many learners, even when they have linguistic knowledge. Drawing on González-Lloret and Ortega's (2014) framework for technology-mediated tasks and MacIntyre's (2007) framework for willingness to communicate in a second language, this mixed methods study investigated the impact of…

Xiaoyu Xu; Siân Alsop; Helen Tsui – Language and Education, 2024
Although digital advances have enabled hundreds of universities to offer massive open online courses (MOOCs) to millions of students worldwide, the high dropout rate on these MOOCs indicates a disjunct between the potential of the offer and the success of its uptake. Many studies point to issues relating to interpersonal connection as a major…

This study explored the impact of a vision intervention in a second language (L2) classroom. In addition to self-reported motivational variables, the study examined the intervention's impact on L2 production during teacher-student interactions. Two intact university-level classes were assigned to the experimental (n = 26) and control (n = 24)…

Garrido, Margarida V.; Prada, Marília – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2021
Extant research has compared the processing of affectively laden words between L1 and L2.

We systematically compared ratings of valence, emotional intensity and subjective familiarity of negative, neutral,…
