Miralles-Armenteros, Sandra; Guinot, Jacob – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2023
The role of compassion has attracted increasing interest in the higher educational context due to its recognised benefits.

This paper empirically examines the relationship between…

W.; Žukauskiene, Rita – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Evidence suggests an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, particularly among emerging adults. However, theories on altruism born of suffering or adversarial growth suggest that we might also see prosocial behavior as a function of the pandemic, which may protect against mental health challenges. Because cultural values are central in…

LaMeres, Brock J.; Burns, Maxwell S.; Thoman, Dustin B.; Smith, Jessi L. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2019
Contribution: Prior studies on goal congruity show that students are more motivated to pursue careers that allow them to work with and help others and give back to their community (i.e., careers that afford prosocial value). This paper discovers this same pattern in electrical engineering (EE) and discovers that prosocial affordance beliefs are…

Pat Bullen; Rachel A. Williamson-Dean; Gavin T. L. Brown – New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, 2024
Schools are important in nurturing social skills and behaviours. Research consistently demonstrates that movement into/out of school (transience/mobility) disrupts positive social skill development, especially for students who frequently move. The impact of attending a highly transient school on "non-mobile" students is not as…

Einat Elizarov; Yair Ziv; Maya Benish-Weisman – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Values, defined by Schwartz (1994) as basic motivational cognitive structures, guide life goals, transcend contexts, and affect individuals' courses of action differently depending on their preferred values. With young children, an important question that emerges is what factors underlie the linkages between their preferred motivations (i.e.,…

Md. Akhir, Noremy; Wei Lun, Ang; Mee Yeang, Chan; Abd Rahman, Norshairani; Halim, Lilia – Cogent Education, 2022
Pro-environmental behaviour is imperative to promote sustainable management and consumption of energy in the fight against climate change. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) has been widely used to explain and predict behaviour in a multitude of behavioural domains including pro-environmental behaviour. However, the TPB does not prioritise the…

Beck, John – London Review of Education, 2018
Schools in England are now required by law to 'actively promote British values' (DfE, 2014). This paper seeks to set this requirement within the context of a somewhat longer history of debates about values in Britain. It discusses the views of certain neoconservatives who claim that multiculturalism has eroded or even abolished British values. It…

Bronk, Kendall Cotton; Baumsteiger, Rachel; Mangan, Susan; Riches, Brian; Dubon, Valeska; Benavides, Celina; Bono, Giacomo – Journal of Character Education, 2019
Although searching for and discovering a purpose in life has been associated with a variety of psychological, physical, and academic benefits, the experience is relatively rare (Bronk, 2013). Only about one fifth of adolescents and one third of young adults report leading a life of purpose (Damon, 2008). Accordingly, we designed and tested 2 brief…
