Objectives: Despite research showing the impact of the threat of COVID-19 on mental health, scholars have failed to examine the relationship between perceived disaster threat and COVID-19 anxiety. Factors that buffer that positive relationship (e.g., optimism and emergency preparedness self-efficacy or EPSE) are also understudied. Thus, we…

Background: In STEM education, tasks are essential for organizing and designing teaching-learning processes, as they give concrete form to curricular goals and content standards. Tasks that build on each other and initiate a learning process are particularly effective. Tasks are often specified according to their function (confrontation,…

Purpose of the research is to examine the predictive effect of self-compassion levels of preschool period children's mothers over children's loneliness levels.

Universities have long served as centers for scientific inquiry, yet they are increasingly burdened by bureaucratic oversight mechanisms that, rather than facilitating research, often obstruct it. One of the most contentious manifestations of this trend is the expansion of research ethics boards (REBs). Originally designed to protect research…

In this study, it is aimed to determine the emotions that middle school students attribute to the images of scientists and to examine how students perceive scientists and how they explain the emotional aspects of these perceptions from a qualitative perspective. The research is based on qualitative methodology. The study group of the research was…

While day-to-day negative affect normatively rises across adolescence, emotional experiences also stratify, or diverge, across individuals. Moreover, negative affect is not a unitary construct but comprises distinct feeling states (e.g., sadness, anger, anxiety), each characterized by distinct age-related trends. Yet, most developmental research…

Online doctoral dropout is a persistent yet largely overlooked issue by institutions and researchers. This qualitative study investigated the candidates' circumstances leading to withdrawal, its emotional repercussions, and subsequent academic trajectories. We conducted in-depth interviews with ten former part-time online PhD students and employed…

In contemporary contexts of digitalization, proliferating media, and generative AI, various "life hacks" are regularly recommended to disconnect and resist distraction, ranging from meditation to getting back to nature to unplugging. This paper traces contemporary concerns over "the attention crisis" into a longer signature --…
