Many interventions aim to enhance these domains, yet evidence of their combined impact remains limited. Declines in creative thinking, reasoning, self-efficacy, and stress regulation present challenges in both educational and professional contexts. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured intervention in improving divergent thinking, reasoning abilities, self-efficacy, and physiological regulation, providing insights into strategies that foster holistic cognitive and psychological development while addressing gaps in sustained outcome research. Participants were randomly assigned to Experimental and Control groups, ensuring comparability at baseline. The Experimental group engaged in a structured intervention involving cognitive exercises, problem-solving tasks, and self-efficacy enhancement activities over several weeks, while the Control group received no specific intervention. Assessments included standardized tests for divergent thinking and reasoning, the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and heart rate variability (HRV) measurements. Data on engagement, including session frequency, duration, and task completion, were collected. The study employed a randomized controlled design with experimental (<i>n</i> = 30) and control (<i>n</i> = 30) groups over an 8-week intervention. Participants completed cognitive tests (divergent thinking and reasoning), the GSES for self-efficacy, and HRV assessments using wearable devices. The experimental group used a mobile app, Fitbit Charge 5, and the Elite HRV platform with gamified mindfulness, while the control group followed traditional mindfulness. Findings displayed important developments in the experimental group in divergent thinking (35.2 to 41.5), reasoning (22.1 to 25.8), self-efficacy (30.1 to 35.5), and HRV (44.2 to 58.0 ms), with sustained gains at follow-up. Future research should contain larger samples, longer follow-ups, and exploration of engagement-driven mechanisms.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48281,"journal":{"name":"Applied Cognitive Psychology","volume":"40 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148467060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Study 1 showed that while unpacking significantly increased estimated CO₂ emissions, unlike personalization, it had no direct effect on switching to train. However, an indirect effect of unpacking on switching to train through intention was found. Study 2 replicated the subadditivity effect and identified confidence in one's own judgment of CO₂ emissions as a key variable for predicting intention.

Eye-tracking analyses showed that participants paid significantly more visual attention to the partial gesture condition than to stimuli where the gesturing was fully visible, and they scored significantly higher on an immediate comprehension test if they had seen lectures in the partially visible condition. Multiple methods confirmed significant gesture loss in the partial video condition. We draw on a range of approaches to interpret our findings.

To address this issue, we conducted two experiments examining how suspect familiarity impacts the CRE. Participants first studied cross- and same-race faces (with or without conceptual information depending on the experiment), then viewed a criminal face followed by a lineup with a guilty or innocent suspect who was either familiar or unfamiliar. In both experiments, we found a CRE for unfamiliar but not familiar suspects. Familiar innocent suspects, regardless of race, were vulnerable to misidentification.

Findings show caregiving as a dynamic adaptive process in which daily routines, work trajectories, emotional well-being and identity are reorganised in response to care demands.

In contrast, formal and informal support, autism-related knowledge and opportunities for personal regulation acted as protective factors.
