The current study examined the adjustment to higher education among students with mental health disorders, focusing on adjustment to post-secondary education, emotional and metacognitive variables. The participants were 123 students who had already completed at least one year at an institution of higher education: 63 students who self-identified…

Technology has contributed so much to the development and innovation of humankind. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an off-shoot of such. This article explored the influence of AI anxiety on AI self-efficacy among college students. The investigators used a cross-sectional research design for 695 purposively chosen college students in one higher…

College students have been identified as highly vulnerable to diverse mental health disorders affecting academic performance and quality of life. There was an even greater prevalence of mental health problems in college students' during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined the relationship among academic performance, depression,…

The current study investigated the developmental trajectories of academic burnout and test anxiety, alongside the relationship between these constructs and the moderating effect of perfectionistic concern over mistakes, employing latent growth curve model. A total of 427 Chinese adolescent students completed the Adolescent Student Burnout…

Purpose: This study aimed at identifying the prevalence of statistic anxiety among students in social sciences programs and analyzing the relationship between statistics anxiety and four key variables: attitude toward statistics, statistics self-efficacy, achievement in statistics and academic procrastination. Design/methodology/approach: Method a…

We examined the extent to which anxious attachment and avoidant attachment predicted loneliness and social self-efficacy among 863 college students. Further, we investigated whether social self-efficacy mediated the relationships between the two insecure attachment styles and loneliness. Pearson correlations and regression analysis showed that…

The present study was conducted using latent profile analysis to determine whether homogeneous test anxiety groups could be identified among 625 undergraduates and to determine whether gender, self-critical perfectionism, and rigid perfectionism were significant predictors of class membership in the identified test anxiety groups. The students…

The purpose of this quantitative correlational-predictive study is to examine if and to what extent performance expectancy, effort expectancy, attitude toward using technology, social influence, facilitating conditions, self-efficacy, and anxiety, individually and combined, predict the behavioral intention of U.S. higher education student services…

This study addressed whether gender, social desirability, statistics levels, and statistics self-efficacy can significantly predict variation in statistics anxiety at the graduate level. Statistics anxiety undermines performance throughout academia and reduces employment opportunities that require skills in statistics. Previous studies have…

Large-scale international studies offer researchers a rich source of data to examine the relationship among variables. Machine learning embodies a range of flexible statistical procedures to identify key indicators of a response variable among a collection of hundreds or even thousands of potential predictor variables. Among these, penalized…

To examine the combined effects of maths anxiety (MA), maths self-efficacy (MSE), and maths interest (MI) on STEM career choice, we analysed self-report data from 7908 Twins Early Development Study participants, collected at ages 16 (MSE, MI), 18 (MA) and 21 (STEM career choice). When analysed in the same model, MSE did not independently predict…

University students' learning satisfaction is known to be positively correlated with self-efficacy for interaction with online learning. This study investigates whether autistic traits moderate the relationship between interaction self-efficacy in online learning and learning satisfaction. It also explores the role of anxiety in the relationship.…

The aim of our paper is to explore the predictor variables of autonomous use of technology (Benson, 2011) in relation to second language learning. To this end, we explored motivated learning behavior (Dörnyei & Ushioda, 2021), self-efficacy (Bandura, 1986) and several language learning-related emotions, such as enjoyment, pride, hope,…

Gestalt perception relates to inferring a holistic scene from separate elements. Using this theory, an application game named Gestalt Puzzle was designed for students to play by recognizing a few parts of an image to reason the whole image of a particular object. Cognitive style can be divided into field independence (FI) and field dependence (FD)…

Stress and mental health difficulties are common burdens on college students. Although a small minority of these students receive psychological services, counseling centers have been overrun by demand. Thus, self-help interventions may offer a promising alternative to traditional college counseling services. The current study examined the…
