Learners' attempts to regulate their own motivation for studying in the face of tedious or difficult tasks is an important aspect of self-regulated learning. Therefore, motivation regulation has received increasing attention over the past few years, resulting in numerous publications using different definitions of the construct, samples,…

This manuscript explores the role of somatic embodied practices in promoting teacher well-being and resilience in educational contexts. Drawing from research in education and somatic therapy, the paper argues that somatic embodied practices support emotional regulation, enhance relational trust, and create sustainable teaching environments. By…

The notion of student success in an academic context has garnered much interest over the years, resulting in a multitude of perspectives by which success is defined, understood, and measured. Historically, the institutional measure of success has been most prevalent, namely that success is directly linked to grades. More recently, however,…

Although cumulative evidence has shown that self-control promotes well-being, the underlying psychological mechanisms remain unclear. Studies indicate that basic psychological need satisfaction and self-authenticity may contribute to this relationship. This longitudinal study investigated the associations between self-control and subjective and…

How is it possible to research emotions with minimal disruption? In the research that was the basis for this Case Study, the researcher wanted to understand how participants in a writing group experienced emotions during their academic writing and how they used emotion regulation and interpersonal emotion regulation during writing group sessions.…

Although children with Williams syndrome (WS) are strongly socially motivated, many have friendship difficulties. The parents of 21 children with WS and 20 of the children themselves participated in a semi-structured interview about the children's friendships. Parents reported that their child had difficulties sustaining friendships and low levels…

Background: Suicide is a leading cause of death for adolescents, and school connectedness is a potential, modifiable protective factor for suicide. We sought to examine if school connectedness protected against suicide among high school students and if potential moderators affected the relationship between school connectedness and suicide.…

Depression and anxiety symptoms have risen in the last decade, especially among college students. Virtues are potentially strong predictive factors of mental health symptoms, but a minimal amount of research has explored "which" virtues are the strongest predictors. We examined the relative predictive strength of gratitude, forgiveness,…

Studies have demonstrated a significant correlation between the approximate number system (ANS) and early mathematical achievement. However, various explanations exist regarding the underlying cognitive mechanisms that underpin this association. The present study investigated whether the two hypotheses of inhibition control and visual form…

Objective: Research indicates that coping styles mediate self-control and health outcomes. Emotion- and problem-focused coping strategies (eg, getting advice or planning) are used to address stressors. In contrast, avoidance-focused strategies (eg, substance use) are used to escape distress and are associated with greater alcohol problems. The…

Students' attitudes can be influential in the emotions experienced in mathematics learning and achievement at school. Two important judgements, according to Control-Value Theory are degree of control a student has over, and the value attached to, learning activities or outcomes. Appraisals of control and value are believed to play a central role…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore school principals' sources of felt anger and to trace their forms of anger regulation in the workplace. Design/methodology/approach: Based on semi-structured interviews with 30 elementary and secondary school principals in Israel, a typology of anger regulation is presented and analyzed. Findings:…

In recent years, there has been considerable growth in evidence that open-ended, challenging, and autobiographical tasks may provide better opportunities to evidence how young children exhibit metacognition and self-regulation. This research examines possible differences in children's metacognition and self-regulation between two ecological valid…

Self-regulation is crucial for learning and achievement in educational and occupational contexts. Educational self-regulation has been conceptualized as a domain-specific, context-bound "competence" that is open to interventions. Beyond students' educational self-regulation (ESR), few studies have examined ESR across the lifespan as a…

Inhibitory control (IC) is a core executive function integral to self-regulation and cognitive control, yet is itself multi-componential. Directed global inhibition entails stopping an action on demand. Competitive inhibition is engaged when an alternative response must also be produced. Related, but not an executive function, is…
