People view many attributes, including intelligence, through implicit theories (or mindsets). Entity mindsets position the attribute as unchangeable or static, whereas incremental mindsets see the attribute as malleable or capable of being changed/improved (Dweck & Leggett, 1988). The present studies examined a new questionnaire designed to…

Studyholism (SH) is a new potential clinical condition introduced in 2017 by Loscalzo and Giannini to refer to problematic overstudying, specifying that it might be associated with either high or low Study Engagement (SE). We aimed to analyze SH and SE's predictive role on academic resilience. We gathered 609 Indonesian youths, and we performed a…

Student success is an ongoing area of interest to educators and researchers alike. The current study seeks to expand the literature on what factors help or hinder students by examining the roles of Need for Cognition (NfC), academic motivation, and student study habits in academic success. The results indicated that NfC scores, Personal…

Accessing social media is common and although concerns have been raised regarding the impact of social media on academic success, research in this area is sparse and inconsistent. Survey responses were collected from 659 undergraduate and graduate students to determine the relationship between social media usage and overall academic performance,…

This study aimed to determine the effects of university students' gender, weekly study hours, academic motivation, metacognition, and self-regulated learning levels on their overall academic achievement and to examine whether academic motivation, metacognition and self-regulated learning total scores predicted their GPAs. This study utilized a…

Although community college students have historically been at the forefront in utilizing some distance education across their degrees due to their own employment, parenting, or transportation circumstances, COVID-19 forced all college instruction online for much of the 2020-2021 year in Alabama. Given the economically and technologically…

Using value-added models, we find that high schools impact students' self-reported socioemotional development (SED) by enhancing social well-being and promoting hard work. Conditional on schools' test score impacts, schools that improve SED reduce school-based arrests, and increase high-school completion, college-going, and college persistence.…

The relationship between study success and the nature of 550 first-year law students' study processes was investigated using a modified version of the Approaches to Learning and Studying Inventory. The students were classified into four study profiles according to their approaches to learning, indicating the nature of their study processes. In…

For international students, seeking a tertiary education outside of their home countries has been a common practice for centuries. However, recent years have brought a significant influx in the number of international students entering the United States to procure a postsecondary education. In 2018-2019, Open Doors (Institute for International…

The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which self-regulated study strategies and predictor variables predict performance success in instrumental performance college courses. Preservice music teachers (N = 123) from a music education department in two state universities in Turkey completed the Music Self-Regulated Studying…

This study assessed the self-perception of the selected Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) students on their academic, social and their emotional college preparedness. The students' demographic profile was also tested for significant difference in the three constructs of the college preparedness. Through a self-made questionnaire in a 4-…

The article describes the development and evaluation of a web-based pre-course in mathematics, delivered to four cohorts of engineering students at a German university. Based on demographic, personal, and learning-related data relationships between students' preconditions, their learning gains in the pre-course, and study success in the degree…

Historical student data can help elucidate the factors that promote student success in mathematics courses. Herein we use both multiple regression and principal component analyses to explore ten years of historical data from over 20,000 students in an introductory college-level Algebra course in an urban American research university with a diverse…

Using value-added models, we find that high schools impact students' self-reported socio-emotional development (SED) by enhancing social well-being and promoting hard work. Conditional on schools' test score impacts, schools that improve SED, reduce school-based arrests, and increase high-school completion, college-going, and college persistence.…

The relationship between metacognition in real life situations and study skills and habits was examined using a sample of college students. Results showed no significant relationship between these two variables nor was there a significant relationship between study skills and reaction time as measured on the metacognitive test. However, there was…
