The manuscript describes an experimental investigation of a technique that might reduce memory conformity: the reinforced self-affirmation procedure (RSA). While previous studies have already demonstrated the RSA's effectiveness in reducing other memory distortions (e.g., the misinformation effect and interrogative suggestibility), this has not…

This paper addresses the rift between the teacher's sense of self as a causal agent and the experience of being in lack of control in the classroom, by way of Hans Vaihinger's philosophy of 'as if.' It is argued that understanding agential control in terms of a valuable educational fiction--a practical (ethical) fiction in Vaihinger's…

It can be said that there is a large literature on the metamorphosis in the direction of marketization brought about by capitalist globalization in the academic field. In the aforementioned literature, it is stated that the academy operates more and more with the rules of the capitalist market and therefore academic study, education and training…

Reflection is generally considered to be important for learning from simulation-based training in professional and vocational education. The mainstream conceptualization of reflection is argued to rest on a dualistic ground separating the mind from the body. Drawing on phenomenological analyses of bodily awareness and an ethnographic case study of…

This paper offers readings of three examples from a photo-essay project undertaken in 2022 by a group of Year 7 pupils in Berlin. Many of the photo-essays centred on locations like schools, parks and shops, but also included places of worship, the graves of ancestors and evidence of family ties in other cities. Mirroring the practices of the…

Although science and engineering (S&E) fields continue to grow, certain groups including first-generation students and women remain underrepresented among S&E degree recipients. Mathematics, specifically calculus, is often the gatekeeper to entering STEM majors that open the pathway to financially lucrative careers in S&E. Although…

Despite research indicating that responding with self-compassion to lapses in goal pursuit can help people to achieve their goals, there is evidence that people often struggle to respond with self-compassion when it would benefit them. One reason is that people may not be familiar with the concept of self-compassion or may think negatively of…

Parents play an important role in socializing children's emotion understanding. Previous research shows that parents emphasize different aspects of emotion contexts depending on the discrete emotion. However, there is limited research on how parents and children discuss self-conscious emotions, such as embarrassment, guilt, and shame, and what…

Stigma devalues, discriminates, and magnifies social inequalities. For children in care, who have far worse educational outcomes than children who are not in care, stigma negatively effects the others' perceptions, as well as the children's perceptions of themselves. This paper is drawn from a larger research project which considered the ways in…

Student affairs practitioners need to use theory or models to provide a framework for their work with college students. This article shows how a college campus practices leadership development within the Leadership Identity Development (LID) Model framework. In addition to providing steps for using the model in practice, some challenges are noted…

As emerging adults transition into the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) workforce, it is essential to understand the factors that predict successful occupational identity achievement, as automation will impact human occupational identity crises. This descriptive cross-sectional study implemented a correlation design to determine the degree to…

The purpose of the mixed method explanatory-sequential study was to measure teacher confidence in instructing students with the specific learning disability of dyslexia and its related disorders of ADHD, anxiety, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, executive functioning, and speech and language disorders. Two surveys, the short form of the Teacher Sense of…

The emergence of moral emotions such as guilt is central in moral and prosocial development. Guilt is an important psychological factor, which motivates prosocial behaviour and is credited for multiple social functions. Importantly, it remains unclear what determines the extent to which children show guilt. The current study examined two factors…

Objective: The aim of the present systematic review was to consolidate findings related to emotion recognition accuracy among individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The review also examined emotion recognition accuracy assessment methods as well as the contribution of gender to emotional recognition accuracy. Method: A…

Despite high rates of distress in college student populations, many students do not seek help for mental health issues. The context in which mental health help-seeking occurs is not well understood. Cognitive models of depression provide a theoretical understanding of how depression symptoms may promote the internalization of stigma beliefs, thus…
