To support children's transition to school mathematics, it is important to maintain sensitivity to notations that children produce in the domain of number and support connections between their informal number knowledge and written symbols. This paper presents an exploratory longitudinal study of the notations that 3-5-year-old children produced…

As a crucial link between theoretical preparation and practical teaching in higher education, pre-service teachers' emotional management has garnered increasing attention, particularly regarding emotional intelligence (EI) and emotion regulation (ER). However, most existing research has been cross-sectional, lacking a longitudinal perspective on…

Lifelong learning can be indispensable for the adaptation to continuously evolving labor markets and societal demands. In the current study, we examined psychological factors, notably aspects of personality (personality traits in the five-factor model and trait curiosity), self-reflection, and motivation in relation to attitudes to lifelong…

This study undertakes a dual exploration, examining the effects of individual differences on self-assessment accuracy, and students' perspectives on the reasons for their inaccuracies. A total of 112 psychology students self-scored an essay, then received the instructor's score and were interviewed. Results revealed: (1) a weak positive…

The usability of sensory substitution devices can be enhanced with practice. However, practice conditions impact the effectiveness of skill acquisition. This study investigates the effect of constant and variable practice conditions on performing a reach and grasp task with a sensory substitution glove. The glove provides vibrotactile information…

Purpose: This study examined the relationship between levels of digital literacy and the online learning motivation (OLM) of teacher trainees across various factors. Design/methodology/approach: This investigation utilized a quantitative research approach. The sample was selected through a purposive method and consisted of 485 teacher trainees…

Background: Nomothetic, group differential, and idiographic approaches are all needed to fully understand youth development. However, most research on youth character development has traditionally relied on either the nomothetic approach to study whole sample changes or the differential approach to study changes in predefined groups (e.g.,…

Background: When looking at faces, we tend to attend more to the left visual field (corresponding to the right side of the person's face). This phenomenon is called the left visual field bias (LVF) and is presumed to reflect the brain's right-sided dominance for face processing. Whether alterations in hemispheric dominance are present in dyslexia,…

Purpose: This study focuses on examining how individual differences, including biological, linguistic, and cognitive traits, and prosodic focus affect the computation biases and reaction time (RT) associated with quantity scalar terms in Mandarin-speaking children aged 3-8 years. Method: The participants of this study were 27 Mandarin-speaking…

School engagement is crucial for adolescents' academic performance. This study identifies that perceptions of barriers despite schooling significantly influence such engagement. When students in a class share these perceptions, a unique classroom climate emerges, impacting overall school engagement. Specifically, this study explores how…

Empirical studies on individual behaviour often, implicitly or explicitly, assume a single type of decision rule. Other studies do not specify behavioural assumptions at all. We advance sociological research by introducing (random) regret minimization, which is related to loss aversion, into the sociological literature and by testing it against…

Snyder's hope theory depicts hope, through the frame of positive psychology, as a cognitive construct with the perceived sense of goal-directed, pathways, and agency thinking (Snyder et al., 1991). Hope levels have been measured in various countries; however, no research to date focused on Haitians. This study, conducted in Petit-Goâve, Haiti,…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy has come to the spotlight, empowering individuals to adeptly navigate the modern digitalised world. However, studies on teacher AI literacy in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context remain limited. This study aims to identify intraindividual differences in AI literacy and examine its associations with…

This study explored teachers' self-efficacy in teaching mathematics (SETM) as related to their teaching profile and pedagogical practices. Using data from 327 New Zealand primary teachers, a multilevel structural equation model was constructed and analyzed that looked at the relationships among SETM and effective pedagogical practice scales and…

Purpose: Response times (RTs) are commonly used in studying language acquisition. However, previous research utilizing RT in the context of language has largely overlooked the intra-individual variability (IIV) of RTs, which could hold significant information about the processes underlying language acquisition. Method: We explored the association…
