Overall scores showed an increasing trend with age, with males scoring higher than females. Following standard revisions, the difficulty coefficients for time scores (.32-.65) and skill scores (.59-.73) for children aged 8-12 were found to be more suitable for the Chinese population.

Given the immense influence of creativity on EFL teachers' professional success, it is crucial to ascertain the factors that trigger teachers to bring more creativity into the educational setting. To address this necessity, many scholars to date have probed the role of various personal factors in teachers' creativity. Nevertheless, the contextual factors that encourage teachers to adopt creative teaching have somehow been disregarded by both educational and L2 researchers. <b>Purpose:</b> To bridge this gap, the present study addressed the role of two contextual factors, namely job satisfaction (JS) and principals' leadership behavior (PLB), in EFL teachers' creativity. Furthermore, this study assessed the potential association between JS, PLB, and teacher creativity. <b>Research Design:</b> The study employed a quantitative research design using self-report scales and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to explore relationships among the variables. <b>Study Sample:</b> A total of 339 English teachers were selected from different schools and colleges in China.

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was run through the latest version of the Mplus program to analyze participants' perceptions. Results: Results indicated that both PLB and JS are closely related to Chinese EFL teachers' creativity. Results also demonstrated that PLB and JS can bring about positive and meaningful changes in Chinese EFL teachers' creativity. <b>Conclusions:</b> The findings suggest that principals' leadership behavior and teachers' job satisfaction play pivotal roles in fostering creativity among Chinese EFL teachers.

In the Rod-and-Frame test, the participant views a rod - with and without a surrounding tilted frame - and is assigned to align the rod vertically or horizontally. A systematic misalignment of the rod due to the tilted frame is considered a visual field dependent behavior.

Twenty-four participants, 12 males and 12 females (M age = 25.5 years, standard deviation (SD) = 2.8 years) (males M age = 26.3 SD 3.1; females M age = 24.8 SD 2.4), performed identical Rod-and-Frame tests two times - exactly one week between the tests - in a completely dark room while standing and sitting. The participants were assigned to align a luminous rod horizontally and vertically with no frame of reference; with the rod surrounded by a luminous frame tilted 20° clockwise; and 20° counterclockwise. The participants were significantly more field dependent while sitting than while standing during the clockwise frame condition. Females were significantly more field dependent than males in the sitting clockwise and counterclockwise frame conditions. The test-retest evaluation was significantly non-zero for all test conditions and most ICC values were within the \"good reliability\" range.

The Ballistic and Ramp conditions were established using visual triggers and response sounds from 20% of the maximum voluntary contraction output of the right wrist joint. The excitability of the motor cortex involved in the onset of relaxation was assessed using muscle tension or electromyography as an indicator for the onset of relaxation at -100, -50, and 0 ms.

Two protocols were conducted: (1) comparing the mouse-based task to a well-established force-sensor lab task (<i>N</i> = 10), and (2) assessing the mouse-based task across various computer setups (<i>N</i> = 31). Results demonstrated high reliability and accuracy of both tasks for the following measures of motor variability: fuzzy entropy and detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). The mouse-based task exhibited slightly superior absolute reliability, suggesting potential sensitivity advantages for detecting longitudinal changes in motor control. While sampling frequency influenced nonlinear outputs, it did not significantly affect reliability, leading to the choice of 20 Hz for optimal parameter estimation. Correlation analyses revealed that although participants showed different performance during the mouse- and force-sensor-based tasks, their long-term movement adjustment strategies (assessed using the DFA) were similar. In addition, the robustness analysis showed that computer hardware can influence observed variability, with screen size being a key factor.
