Two studies were therefore conducted to explore why mental toughness may be important. In Study 1, 123 undergraduates completed measures of mental toughness, flow, engagement with feedback, and reported their academic attainment. Components of mental toughness, particularly commitment, were related to flow, engagement with feedback, and academic performance. Flow and engagement with feedback were found to be significant mediators of the relationship between the commitment component of mental toughness and academic performance. In Study 2, 79 participants completed a measure of mental toughness and were assigned to high or low mental toughness groups. They then completed two mathematics tasks, and received either positive, negative, or no feedback between the tasks. Those with lower mental toughness were found to perform less well following negative feedback than those with higher mental toughness. The results are discussed in terms of implications for educators who provide feedback and seek to encourage students to engage with that feedback.","PeriodicalId":48053,"journal":{"name":"Educational Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43332555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, little is known about how individual learner characteristics influence these regulation processes. In this study, we investigate how students’ achievement goals are associated with regulation processes within groups. Two hundred and seventy-seven undergraduates were asked to imagine being part of a self-organized study group with comprehension-related and motivational problems and to name strategies they would apply to regulate their learning in this situation in an open-ended format. Achievement goals were measured using a standardised questionnaire. Results indicated that mastery- and performance-approach goals are positively associated with regulatory effort across all three levels of regulation. Performance-avoidance goals seem to have no significant relationship with regulatory effort.","PeriodicalId":48053,"journal":{"name":"Educational Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44302733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study is to describe the elationship between participants levels of declarative courage and the intensity of the sensation-seeking trait. For the purposes of the study, courage was defined as the willingness to take action in the face of risk (Woodard, 2007). Method: The study was conducted using a questionnaire method, the level of selected trait variables was measured using the Woodard Pury Courage Scale-23 (WPCS-23), Brief Sensation Seeking Scale (BSSS), Polish adaptation of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ-PL). The WPCS-23 and BSSS were translated into Polish for the purposes of the study in a backtranslation the authors of the original versions. Results: The general indicator of sensation seeking has been shown to be positively related to courage; moreover, experience seeking and adventure and excitement seeking have been shown related to courage stronger than susceptibility to boredom, disengagement. Experience-seeking, adventure-seeking and excitement-seeking are predictors of respondents levels of courage. The structure of morality has little relation to the courage of participants. No moral code is a predictor for courage. Conclusions: The study was conducted to explore the relation between sensation seeking and different categories of morality with courage and the nature of human behaviour in social situations. We were interested in the structure of sensationseeking among the respondents and what traits/values guide them when making decisions. This study has proven that sensation seeking is a predictor of courage. The participants morality has shown little relationship to courage. In further research, we suggest focusing on the social aspectsof courage versus sensation seeking and morality with a larger and representative sample.","PeriodicalId":48053,"journal":{"name":"Educational Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49088256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More and more young people can be defined as Third Culture Kids (TCK), individuals exposed to diverse cultural paradigms in the early developmental years. Being a TCK significantly affects the development of identity, well-being and overall functioning. There are also substantial consequences of TCKs experiences in the field of education. Yet, the problem of new forms of multicultural identities is not sufficiently represented within Polish research. The following review aims to fill this gap and present the latest trends in studies on the TCK phenomenon. This article critically evaluated existing research regarding Third Culture Kids. It further presented the consequences of the multicultural experience of TCK, emphasizing significant problems and benefits of multiculturalism and global nomadism in the areas of well-being, identity and education. Importantly, ways of dealing with multicultural identity, the so-called multicultural identity configurations, were presented as moderators of the influence of multiculturalism on the functioning of TCK. Factors supporting TCKs well-being and educational success were indicated, including psychological (multicultural identity integration, cultural intelligence, global mindset) and institutional (teaching systems, psychological support) attributes.","PeriodicalId":48053,"journal":{"name":"Educational Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45512140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The moderator of this relationship would be the role of parent. Research shows that a significant role in allowing the use of digital devices is played not by the childs needs (e.g. developmental) but by the needs of the parent (e.g. related to the desire to rest or the lack of ideas on how to take care of the child). The presented data was collected from a group of 729 parents of preschool children (from 36 to 72 months of age) in 2020 duringimplementation of Toddler on the Web project. The results cover the frequencies of reasons due to which parents allow their children to use digital devices. The results show that among the most frequently indicated reasons were: the need to perform other duties or to get a rest, as well as the lack of energy to take care of the child, while the least frequently mentioned reasons were: the lack of ideas for spending time together, lack of ideas for taking care of the child, and using a digital device as a regulator of emotions or mood. All of the reasons analysed were employed with varying frequency by more than a half of the parents. The reasons why parents allow children to use digital devices do not depend on either the age or the gender of the child. There are two exceptions: when parentsconsider digital devices as a reward for the child (e.g. for performing various tasks according to parents expectations), and when they do not know how to spend time together with their child the older the child, the more often parents tend to apply both principles. Our results indicate the need to implement educational and preventive activities in the group of current and future parents.","PeriodicalId":48053,"journal":{"name":"Educational Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45667323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conclusions of this study show a negative image of work in school, burnout symptoms in teachersthat took part in the study, and upholding feeling of vivid, unfavourable, social image of teachers. Method: To answer the question regarding how active teacher constructs their narratives about schools reality data, collected by using an online constructed questionnaire, was analysed using guidelines from a method of interpretative-phenomenological analysis. Results: Results show a negative view of work in school, symptoms of burnout, and awareness of a negative social view on teachers. Conclusions: Narratives regarding the schools reality, described by active teachers, have a pessimistic tone. In these stories a common theme is that of a negative view on work in school, some of them contain content about career burnout and an unsympathetic point of view regarding teachers in society. Qualitative studies of teachers narratives can be a way of better understanding the psychological states of teachers which could lead to implementing some sorts of changes in the work environment regarding, for example, career burnout.","PeriodicalId":48053,"journal":{"name":"Educational Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41690338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article is a review, based on domestic and foreign literature. A closer acquaintance with the flit phenomenon may help understanding the social functioning of adolescents and thus may be helpful in creating preventive and intervention programs for young people. Analysis: The analysis of the phenomenon begins with the presentation of two ways of defining the phenomenon, in the biological and philosophical sciences. The reasons why people flirt can be found within the theoryof evolution as well as the theory of human psychosexual development. The impact of social norms on the perception of behaviours that we attribute to this phenomenon was discussed. The undertaken flirtation strategies were distinguished according to gender and sexual orientation. The concept of five styles of flirting wasintroduced: traditional, physical, sincere, fun and polite (Hall et al., 2010). Conclusions: The Internet and forced isolation related to the outbreak of the COVID-19pandemic have significantly influenced adolescent flirting. The digital reality for young people is as real as the material reality. Accordingly, romantic life takes placeusing new technologies. Universal signs and scripts for communicating interest are changing. For adolescents these days, sending a love letter will be less accessiblethan, for example, deepliking. There are also threats in the digital world of teenage romantic relationships, such as feeling FOMO and its consequences, or experiencingonline sexual abuse.","PeriodicalId":48053,"journal":{"name":"Educational Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46001555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
