Therefore, understanding factors affecting college students’ wellness would be important for preventing and intervening strategies. This study examined the mediating role of coping styles on the relationships between basic psychological needs and wellness in Turkish college students. A total of 599 college students participated in the study by filling out self-reported questionnaires on basic psychological needs, coping styles, and wellness. A path analysis was conducted to test the hypotheses. The findings showed positive direct effects of basic psychological needs on wellness. The results also revealed that self-confident, optimistic, and helpless coping styles were partial mediators between basic psychological needs and wellness. However, social support-seeking and submissive coping styles did not play any significant mediation role. Specifically, satisfaction of basic psychological needs was associated with self-confident and optimistic styles, which is in turn positively associated to college students’ wellness. These findings advance our understanding of the association of basic psychological needs with wellness via coping styles. The limitations and practical implications, along with the future research directions, were discussed.","PeriodicalId":411995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychology and Educational Studies","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114339249","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}

For this purpose, national and international databases were scanned and master's theses, doctoral dissertations, and articles prepared between 2010 and 2020 were investigated. Accordingly, 271 studies conducted in Turkey were accessed, 59 studies were determined to meet the inclusion criteria, and the effect size of 61 was calculated. Using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis v2.0 (CMA) Statistical Package program, the effect sizes and combined effect sizes of the studies were calculated. As a result of the analysis, the general effect size of different teaching applications on students’ motivation toward science learning was determined as 0.620 (95% Cl, SE=0.088). This value was “medium level” according to the effect size classification of Cohen et al. (2007). As a result of the heterogeneity test, it was concluded that there was a high level of heterogeneity in the study (Q=408.198; ²=79.082; I²=85.301). A moderator analysis was conducted to explain this heterogeneity between the effect sizes of the students’ motivations toward science learning. For this purpose, categorical moderators (publication type, learning area, study location, grade level, scale type, and duration of applications) were determined to cause a statistically significant difference in effect sizes. According to the results of meta-regression analysis conducted for the moderators of publication year and sample size investigated as continuous variables in the study, publication year (z= -2.664, p<0.05) was found to cause a statistically significant difference in the effect size. Some recommendations were made in line with the study results.","PeriodicalId":411995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychology and Educational Studies","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132180959","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}

The 2016 films Zootopia, The Jungle Book, Alice in Wonderland 2/Alice Through the Looking Glass, Finding Dory, The Big Friendly Giant, Pete's Dragon, and Moana provided the data for the document analysis method. The data were submitted to descriptive analysis that emphasized the dominant characteristics of the characters, followed by content analysis that investigated each type of character in depth. According to data collected from 749-minute films and animations, it was established that Disney's principal characters focus on two stereotypes. The first of them was the qualified character, followed by the heavenly character. According to the research findings, even though the qualified characters exhibited exceptional behavior, they were found to have some major flaws. On the other hand, it was revealed that, while possessing superhuman abilities, the divine figures needed humans.","PeriodicalId":411995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychology and Educational Studies","volume":"446 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115316741","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}

The questionnaire consists of two formats in which vignettes are presented with and without a diagnosis label. As a result of the t-test and the Mann Whitney-U test applied to the data obtained from the six-points scale questions of TCCQ, it was observed that the comfort levels of the preservice teachers and their classroom adaptation and the need for support did not differ according to the presence or absence of the diagnostic labels, the type of child’s disability, the grade level and the undergraduate program of the preservice teachers. According to the results of the inductive analysis conducted to the open-ended questions in the TCCQ, the participants felt positive/comfortable, negative/concerned and responsible for being teachers of children with special needs.

Emerging adults, one of the groups experiencing anxiety, also turned to social media tools in order to socialize with others and follow the agenda, and overuse brought an increase in social media addiction. Considering that life satisfaction is a mediating variable in coping with the anxiety experienced during the pandemic and in the use of social media, it is aimed to examine the mediating role of life satisfaction in the relationship between Covid-19 anxiety and social media addiction. It has been observed that there is a moderately positive relationship between coronavirus anxiety and social media addiction, high negative relationship between coronavirus anxiety and life satisfaction, and high negative relationship between social media addiction and life satisfaction. As a result of the mediation analysis, while coronavirus anxiety had positive effect on social media addiction, the indirect effect of coronavirus anxiety on social media addiction was also found to be significant, and life satisfaction partially mediated the effect of coronavirus anxiety on social media addiction. Coronavirus anxiety and life satisfaction explained 41% of the change in social media addiction.

In order to deliver high-quality instruction, educators were required to adapt to remote teaching tools and methodologies in a short amount of time. The majority of college instructors who teach remotely at community colleges had not received training prior to the online teaching transition. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of 15 English as a second language (ESL) instructors who taught at a community college in the northeast section of the United States during and immediately after the COVID-19 pandemic. During the data analysis, critical themes such as strong emotional reactions, technological difficulties, increased workload and exhaustion, teacher-formed learning communities, and learning by trial and error emerged. The contribution of this phenomenological study may benefit higher education administrators and instructors by helping them make informed decisions in case of a sudden transition. The data derived from this study might serve as a guide to schools in similar settings. This information could be shared in workshops and seminars to equip faculty as well as prepare future faculty and staff members.
