Previous research has examined the relationship between stereotypical gender roles and creativity. However, few studies have examined how masculinity and femininity influence women’s creativity, and particularly when their creative effort was not well received. To understand the relationship between gender roles and different types of creativity fo...

This dissertation uses a 3 × 3 categorization system to examine three main functions of social networks (social support, social capital, and social influence) in three scales (micro, meso, and macro) of social network analysis in the context of educational psychology. Specific issues in the areas of study participants' perceptions of loneliness, me...

Lonely students typically underperform academically. According to several studies, the COVID-19 pandemic is an important risk factor for increases in loneliness, as the contact restrictions and the switch to mainly online classes potentially burden the students. The previously familiar academic environment (campus), as well as the exchange with pee...

Influential meta-analyses have concluded that only a small to medium proportion of variance in performance can be explained by deliberate practice. We argue that the authors have neglected the most important characteristic of deliberate practice: individualization of practice. Many of the analyzed effect sizes derived from measures that did not ass...

This study builds from the implicit theory of creative individuals to an understanding of the social perceptions of creative individuals. Stereotypes and prejudice about creative students were examined utilizing the self-developed stereotype and prejudice scales among German adolescents. The results indicate that German adolescents hold positive im...

Online mentoring can be useful for supporting girls in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Yet, little is known about the differential effects of various online mentoring formats. We examine the general and relative effectiveness of three online mentoring formats, one‐on‐one mentoring, many‐to‐many group mentoring, and a hybri...

Studies show that online mentoring is an effective measure to support girls in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), especially if it also allows for networking with other participants on the mentoring platform. However, research is missing on peer influence. This topic seems especially crucial in programs for adolescents as pee...

A review of the literature on the effectiveness of mentoring reveals a paradox: on the one hand, there is evidence that mentoring can be highly effective. On the other hand, meta‐analyses usually only show small to moderate effect sizes, and sometimes even negative effects. To better understand this mentoring paradox, we discuss three fundamental p...

The current study's purpose is to explore the influence of peer‐perceived creativity (sociometric creativity) on the short‐term development of friendships during a summer program for high ability students. Specifically, the two main objectives of our study are: (1) How did students' friendships network and sociometric creativity network evolve in t...

We analyzed multiple subsets of mentees (N > 100), who communicated with each other by email and chat. By conducting a dictionary based corpus linguistic analysis (LIWC) with the email data, we could create several different topic related communication networks, e.g. a STEM-related network and a leisure time related network, each in two points in t...

Online mentoring provides an effective means of extracurricular gifted education for talented girls in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Comparative studies on the effectiveness of one-on-one versus group mentoring are lacking, however. The authors investigated this question in the context of a Germany-wide online mentoring...

Mentoring findet prototypisch in einer Dyade statt, die aus einem Mentoren und einem Mentee besteht. In der Tat haben sich auch Evaluationen von Mentorings ausschließlich auf solche Dyaden bezogen, Netzwerkeffekte wurden bislang zwar schon als Möglichkeit erwogen (Higgins & Kram, 2001), aber empirisch nur unzureichend untersucht. Dabei finden viele...

Implicit theories can influence learning behavior, the approaches individuals take to learning and performance situations, and the learning goals individuals set, as well as, indirectly, their accomplishments, intelligence, and creativity. For this cross-cultural study, Kenyan and German students were asked to draw a creative person and rate it on...

In many domains, it is estimated that approximately 10,000 hours of planned learning activities are required to reach an expert level of performance. However, this poses a challenge for learners to balance such extensive learning times with the demands of everyday life. In our study we focused on activities in the domain of chess. We hypothesized t...
