Cognitive conflict and risk-taking behaviors are linked in complex ways. This study examined whether threat sensitivity explains the relationship between conflict monitoring and risk-taking in young adults. A sample of 204 university students (ages 18-25, mean = 20.55, SD = 2.14) completed a computerized Stroop task (cognitive conflict), the RT-18…

Digital textbooks are widely used in various educational contexts, such as university courses and online lectures. Such textbooks yield learning log data that have been used in numerous educational data mining (EDM) studies for student behavior analysis and performance prediction. However, these studies have faced challenges in integrating…

This case study showcases the development of a work routine that facilitated collaboration between students and faculty. The work routine consisted of three phases. In the preparation phase, participants worked independently or in pairs, followed by the second phase, a meeting with presentations and discussions. After the meeting, participants…

Note-taking is a critical part of interpreting teaching and learning. During note-taking training, feedback is crucial to help student interpreters hone relevant skills, and the effectiveness of feedback hinges on students' engagement. This case study investigates students' affective, cognitive, and behavioural engagement with feedback on notes…

Objective: This article examines impacts of student resilience, school climate, and barriers to mental health care on problematic drinking behavior and cannabis use among rural university students. Participants: A total of 948 students from a public university in a southeastern state that completed the 2019-2020 Healthy Minds Study. Methods:…

Objective: College students experience elevated rates of alcohol and sexual risk behaviors, but underrepresentation of rural institutions precludes tailored intervention. This study characterizes prevalence and short-term alcohol-sex risk at a rural institution. Participants: Undergraduates at a rural northeastern university. Method: Online health…

In this systematic review, we examined interventions for increasing prosocial employment skills for adolescents with emotional and/or behavioral disorders (EBDs). Many studies have focused on social skills related to employment for individuals with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorders. However, there is a paucity of research on…

Our culture attributes women's and girls' ability in mathematics and related domains to their efforts more so than men's and boys'--a stereotype that contributes to inequities in scientific and technical careers. Here, we provide the first investigation of this gender stereotype in children, examining its endorsement across a broad age range and…

Generative Artificial Intelligence tools have the potential to impact students learning significantly and positively in several ways. However, the factors responsible for student's behavioural intentions to use these tools are still not fully understood, especially in the context of Nigerian higher education institutions (HEIs). To support…

Organization-wide positive behavior support (OW-PBS) is a framework for improving quality of life and preventing challenging behaviors for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This tiered PBS framework has been adapted from schools for use in disability services. Supporting people with IDD involves a variety…

Feedback is a critical component of the learning process and is essential to reinforce the effect of feedback with affective elements. Due to technological developments, providing automated feedback has become easy. Therefore, this study examined the effect of automated elaborated feedback provided with affective feedback on situational intrinsic…

Critical thinking (CT) is widely recognised as a core competency in 21st-century higher education, particularly within English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning contexts. This study examines the extent to which motivation and engagement contribute to the development of CT skills among Chinese EFL university students. A sample of 626…

Purpose: Communication complexity and communicative function are important features of prelinguistic communication that are related to later language outcomes. However, little is known about how these early prelinguistic features present in young children with neurogenetic syndromes (NGS). This study aims to characterize prelinguistic complexity…

This study uses an online experiment among 15-17-year-old participants (n = 566) to test whether adolescents' involvement with television characters (i.e. wishful identification, parasocial interaction, perceived age similarity, attraction) varied based on character age (teen or adult), and whether involvement moderated the relationship between…

In this study, a collaborative problem solving-based STEM course was implemented in a seventh-grade class. This study aimed to examine the effects of students' prior knowledge on their CPS-based STEM learning processes by using a mixed-methods approach. First, a lag sequential analysis was used to investigate individual cognitive and metacognitive…
