This study investigated daily motivation regulation as a multilevel mediator of undergraduate students' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and academic functioning. Undergraduate students (N = 124) completed measures on motivation, motivation regulation, and study time for 10 consecutive days leading up to a statistics exam. Bayesian multilevel…

College students face much instability and challenge across multiple spheres of functioning. The transition from late youth into early adulthood with new social, scholastic, and living environments presents heightened risks for destabilising academic motivation and mental health. Using the taxonomy of multidimensional academic amotivation, this…

The present study explored the association between stress mindset and well-being of students during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic. The study also sought to examine how the relationship between students' stress-mindset and well-being can be mediated by students' coping strategies. The study applied a cross-sectional survey design, with…

Based on Job Demand Resource Model (JD-R), and Conservation of Resources Theory (COR Theory), self-compassion was set as a personal resource, and how it affected academic burnout, and academic engagement had been investigated. This study was conducted on a sample of 599 university students in South Korea who were expected to have overwhelming…

The present study is an investigation of the contributions of child temperament (persistence and reactivity), parent-child (closeness and conflict), and teacher-child relationship (closeness and conflict), to pre-school children's learning behaviours with a focus on the moderating role of these relationships between child temperament and learning…

The current study identified career-development profiles in a sample of 4815 Chinese adolescents (M[subscript age] = 16.19 years, SD = 0.67) and examined their associations with academic self-efficacy and academic motivation. The latent profile model was built on four facets of career development (career feeling, career belief, career exploration,…

'What would an ideal social justice advocate look like, and how do our graduates compare?' is asked by training programs in the helping/health professions (e.g. counselling and psychology, nursing, and education) that have social justice advocacy (SJA) as a core competency. We demonstrate a method for answering this question empirically --…

This study investigated associations between quality of the teacher-student relationship (closeness and conflict) and teachers' (N = 48) visual focus of attention in Grade 1 classrooms in fall and spring, and it explored to what extent students' (N = 650) gender and task-avoidant behaviour moderated the associations. Results showed first that…

Previous research has repeatedly shown that anxiety can impair academic as well as sports-related performance. Most research in this field has been conducted under artificial laboratory conditions, which is why the aim of the present study was to test the assumption that higher levels of anxiety would impair subsequent sports performance in a real…

The three-dimensional (i.e. affective, behavioural, and cognitive) conceptualisation of student engagement has been the prevalent framework for understanding student engagement, but most existing research has focussed on general, rather than subject-specific, student engagement. The present study tested the psychometric properties of a measure of…

In an attempt to exploit the concept of mindfulness for educational contexts, we investigated the role of dispositional mindfulness as an internal resource for the development of situational interest. Using an online questionnaire, we assessed participants' (N = 161, mean age = 30.4 years, 74% female, 66% university students) mindfulness,…

The first objective of this study was to investigate the association between work-home interaction (a process in which functioning in one of the two domains is positively or negatively influenced by the other domain) and teachers' life satisfaction. The second objective was to test the moderating role of teachers' core-self evaluations…

This study investigated the construct validity of a Norwegian version of a scale measuring intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Furthermore, mean level differences of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in three grade levels of students (8th and 10th grade of lower secondary school and 1st grade of upper secondary school) were investigated. Finally,…

This study evaluated the relations between adolescents' school and career future time perspective and their academic-related outcomes (i.e. grades, learning problems, and task orientation) and whether mastery goals are mediators of these relations. Romanian adolescents (N = 229, 59% girls) completed questionnaires assessing future orientation,…

Learning and study strategies and student engagement are key factors in achieving the intended learning outcomes. However, relatively little is known about these two concepts among Egyptian undergraduates as a function of gender (males/females) and discipline (science/humanities). This study investigates gender and discipline differences in…
