This research report draws on storying, narrative inquiry, and poststructural research methods and theory to document metaphors of emergence. Metaphors of emergence are a literacy tool that youth in recovery from addictions (both behavioral and substance-based) use to connect the quality and potential of concrete objects to the abstract…

The research aimed to understand the behavior of users of pages containing the content of Library Instruction, which was published on the academic library website. The collected research material was to be used to describe events taking place on selected pages. Two research methods were used to achieve the goal: statistical research and…

The Lines-of-Defense model postulates that older adults should engage in important health goals and behaviors for as long as possible and adjust them downwardly only when they become impossible to pursue. This process is thought to be supported by goal engagement and self-protective control strategies. We tested this model in a 4-year longitudinal…

Cell phone bans in classrooms have begun throughout the United States either with mandated laws, or recommended district enforcement. This controversial decision has evidence both supporting its existence, or supporting the resistance to it. Data analyzes both U.S. and international policies with varied results regarding the strengths and…

Learning behavior refers to students' preparedness to embrace various learning forms and techniques, encompassing skills, activities, creativity, and motivation. Positive learning behavior improves efficiency, discipline, and academic skills, while negative learning behavior results in a diminished grasp of the essence of learning and cultivates…

Daily routines have been found to be effective in reducing problem behaviours in adolescents. Daily Activities for Youth Opportunity (DAY-Opp) were assessed through validity and reliability analyses. The sample consisted of 165 typically developing adolescents (109 girls and 56 boys, mean age 16.06 ± 2.55 years). Differences were analysed using…

Dynamic fluctuations in respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) were modelled throughout an emotionally challenging laboratory task, and direct associations between temporal variation in RSA responding and the deployment of specific behavioural emotion regulation (ER) strategies were assessed. Sixty-three 2- to 6-year-old children (47% girls;…

Promoting continuous learning behavior is a key challenge for online learning. The present paper empirically examines the effects of course network characteristics including course network size, course network diversity, and course strong ties on continuance behavior, considering the moderating impacts of social learning and social exposure.…

In the literature, there is a general assumption that teachers teach more effectively during team teaching compared with solo teaching. Although effective teaching behaviour is imperative for students' academic outcomes, only scarce research exists on this difference. Therefore, it remains mainly unknown whether teachers teach more effectively…

Interpersonal synchronization between infants and parents emerges early in life and serves as a critical foundation for the development of cognitive, social, and communicative abilities. Traditionally, researchers have assessed this synchrony using composite scores that capture the overall degree of reciprocal, coordinated interaction within a…

Purpose: Many children with developmental language disorder (DLD) demonstrate impaired executive function skills, including shifting. However, language demands in shifting tasks make it difficult to accurately assess shifting ability. Combining behavioral measures (accuracy, reaction time) with event-related potentials (ERPs) can help dissociate…

This study examined the mediating role of ostracism in the relationship between adolescents' attachment styles and depression levels. The sample of this study consists of 621 adolescents (66.8% (n = 415) female and 33.2% (n = 206) male) living in one of the developed cities in Turkey. The results showed that ostracism partially mediates the…

Most cooperative interactions involve interpersonal trust and the expectation of mutual reciprocation. Thus, understanding when and how humans acquire interpersonal trust can help unveil the origins and development of children's cooperative behavior. Here, we investigated whether prior sociomoral information about trading partners modulates the…

Purpose: Through the application of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study aims to explore the main determinants of higher education students' pro-environmental behavior. Design/methodology/approach: An online survey was conducted among the students of a public higher education institution (HEI) in Portugal, from March to May of 2020.…

Objective: Research has shown the deleterious effects of drunkorexia behaviors. The goal of this project was to examine the impact of college women's Snapchat usage on drunkorexia behavior frequencies and motives, through comparing one's body to others and internal drives for thinness. Participants: 636 college women (Study 1 N = 109, Study 2 N =…
