Nouns and verbs are core word classes that support languages, and the differences in neural mechanisms of semantic processing between the two word classes have received a lot of attention. An important language processing area, left middle temporal gyrus (LMTG), has attracted a lot of attention because of its significant role in language processing. However, there is controversy about the role of LMTG in the semantic processing of nouns and verbs, and few related studies were based on Chinese, an ideological language. With the aid of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), the current study investigated the role of LMTG in the semantic processing of Chinese nouns and verbs. Results showed that after receiving anodal-tDCS stimulation over LMTG, participants’ semantic processing performance of Chinese verbs was significantly promoted. At the same time, such changes were not observed in the noun and number processing. Meanwhile, compared with concrete verbs, participants’ semantic processing performance of abstract verbs was improved more. We concluded that LMTG played an important role in the semantic processing of Chinese verbs, especially abstract verbs.","PeriodicalId":118828,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology & Behavior Research","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141921995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In summary: (a) the number of students with school attendance problems has been increasing rapidly since 2017; (b) despite an increase in school counsellors as a government-initiated prevention measure, the number of students with school attendance problems has risen; (c) government policies and the relevant law seek to foster social independence even for students unable to return to school and to provide spaces where students with school attendance problems feel comfortable, which may inadvertently reinforce or perpetuate school avoidance behaviour; and (d) in the Japanese compulsory education system, stakeholders have limited opportunities to block school avoidance behaviour. We propose two measures to prevent school attendance problems drawing on a macro-level behavioural perspective: (a) employing data on class absences in mainstream schools, regardless of the reason for the absence, as an evaluation criterion for prolonged school absenteeism, and (b) implementing appropriate grade repetition for students who miss classes in their mainstream school over a certain threshold, including withholding the school diploma.","PeriodicalId":118828,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology & Behavior Research","volume":"104 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141647532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study plan to examine the attributes assigned by a group of Iranian Farsi speakers to “sex” constructs.Method: the total of 33 women and 31 men (45 single and 19 married mean, age= 28.26), of medical students of Tehran University participated in this study which was done at 2020. Our measurement scale has been borrowed from Osgood; fifteen bipolar items in seven-point Likert that arranged in odd and even order is offered to participants. Some of poles are: “Cold-Warm”, “Weak-Strong”, “Secure-Unsecure”, “Hidden-Obvious”, “Up-Down”, “Funky-Fragrant”. Results: this sample evaluated “sex” as warm, strong, up, fragrant, beautiful, sweet, white, good taste, good and active. Interestingly, there are more agreement than disagreement in comparison of two genders. However, there is a significant difference between male and female in the item of “unsecure-secure”. Also, regarding the marital status no significant difference was found between single and married students. The only marginal was Hidden-Obvious and Bad Taste-Good Taste.Conclusion: When communication involves the use of sexuality-related words, semantics may play a particularly important role. Therefore, exploring the meaning of sex assigned by users seems necessary.","PeriodicalId":118828,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology & Behavior Research","volume":"85 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140080142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It specifically explored two sets of relationships by outlining the key concepts and theories that predict such relationships, discussing the specialities of these concepts and theories with regard to the research target, international students, and summarising and comparing the findings of empirical studies in specific contexts.The project specifically reveals that international students’ motivations can be enhanced by their clear goals to study abroad and undermined by their sociocultural adaptation to the learning environments. Their self-efficacy beliefs can also be damaged by their language difficulties and adaptation problems. Despite some inconsistencies in empirical research findings, international students’ intrinsic motivations and self-efficacy beliefs can both positively enhance their academic performances. Based on these findings, teachers are suggested to offer adequate social support for international students by providing student counselling services, promoting an inclusive culture, and supporting the construction of international student communities. These methods will assist international students’ cultural and academic adaptation and enhance their academic motivations and self-efficacy beliefs. The teachers are also suggested to differentiate teaching approaches in response to the specific needs of international students and facilitate students’ self-efficacy development through affirmative recognition.","PeriodicalId":118828,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology & Behavior Research","volume":"56 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140085911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the introduction of flow theory by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in the 1970s, researchers have continued to explore the brain science and performance benefits of such state. The three hypotheses at the forefront of flow theory include brain waves, transient hypofrontality hypothesis, and synchronization theory of flow. Beyond detailing research that supports the three hypotheses, this meta analysis works to communicate the benefits of flow and also techniques to achieve the state. Flow state can be broken down into nine main characteristics, and working to improve each individual feature can contribute to optimizing the overall flow experience. The real world implications of flow state are immeasurable, allowing humans to be more efficient learners and better creative thinkers. Most importantly, flow is not an esoteric phenomenon exclusive to people at the top of their profession. Everyone can achieve flow state, which makes the benefits tangible and realistic for all. Flow theory continues to be a heavily researched subject in psychology, and a greater public interest in the topic can further expand the field of flow science.","PeriodicalId":118828,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology & Behavior Research","volume":"18 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139149844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
