Self-referential information can reduce the congruency effect by acting as a signal to enhance cognitive control. However, it cannot be denied that self-referential information can attract and hold attention. To investigate this issue, the study used a revised Stroop task and recorded behavioral and electrophysiological data from thirty-three…

The paper analyses the current situation of the Lithuanian language policy in the 2-3rd decade of the twenty-first century, which, as in some other European countries, has been determined by the confrontation between nationalistic and neoliberal attitudes of the society and the Seimas (Parliament). The reasons for updating language policy are…

Art teachers straddle two identities those of a teacher and those of an artist. While these two identities may complement each other it is clear that, particularly for elementary art teachers, they are often in conflict. As art teachers look towards balancing this dichotomy, they must discover what is necessary to equalise and maintain both their…

A descriptive case study approach was utilized in a southeastern United States Catholic Diocese to gain a better understanding of the conflict competency of eight ministry leaders to explore their competence in dealing with conflict pre and post education intervention. Participants were provided with a conflict scenario in a preliminary interview…

Conflict is an inescapable reality in contemporary life, and higher education (HE) is not immune. From armed conflicts to campus protests, university educators increasingly navigate volatile environments where teaching is intertwined with global struggles. Educators may face violence, displacement, or the effects of heightened militarization and…

Conflicts are inevitable in interpersonal relationships. In fact, they are usual in early childhood education centers and, thus, many educators consider them readily available educational tools, particularly valuable for children's social development if they are constructively managed. In this research, we investigate the educational management of…

Conflict is inevitable in every part of life and institutions of higher education are not immune to experiencing interpersonal conflict. Department chairs hold a key position between upper administration and the rest of the faculty and staff within the department, all while still teaching classes. The purpose of this research study is to explore…

Examining the disputes that arise between parents, teachers, and students is the goal of this study. The study, which was carried out at the primary school level, where parent-child interaction is high, employed the critical incident analysis method. The typical sampling method was used to select participants for the study, and school principals…

International students negotiate various intersecting identities while studying abroad. When an international student moves into the new spatial context of their host country, the student's intersectional identity is perceived with degrees of marginalization or privilege by host country nationals that conflict with the student's understanding of…

Recent studies have highlighted the major challenges faced by managers in the higher education sector and shown the contradictory demands which foster paradoxical tensions. Previous works have also underlined some specific tensions and rigidities that business school deans regularly face in their role. Yet, few studies have empirically explored…

What do children do when they do not want to obey but cannot afford to disobey? Might they, like adults, feign misunderstanding and seek out loopholes? Across four studies (N = 723; 44% female; USA; majority White; data collected 2020-2023), we find that loophole behavior emerges around ages 5 to 6 (Study 1, 3-18 years), that children think…

While research on children's humour is growing, few investigations have focused on how children use humour in conflict interactions, and specifically in group early childhood settings. Using data extracts from a project that investigated children's naturally occurring conflict interactions in a multi-ethnic early childhood setting, we use…

This article inquires into what sort of socioemotional education and conviviality are produced when pleasurable literary reading is encouraged in neoliberal cultures. We critically explore the celebration of reading for socioemotional education as it is produced in official government documents distributed to schools in Chile. Assisted by Sara…

Teachers typically do not enter the profession with an inkling that they will become involved in recurring conflict. In fact, Collinson and Cook (2007) suggested that teachers often prefer working alone and in their own classroom, at least in part because they are often conflict-avoidant. Whereas schools were comparably conflict-free 30 years ago…

Many educators are also academic researchers and activists. This diversity can enrich our lives in important ways, allowing us to experience distinct domains of life and apply insights across them. Nevertheless, the responsibilities connected to these roles sometimes conflict in ways that undermine the meaningfulness of an educator's life by…
