Math and science textbook chapters invariably supply students with sets of problems to solve, but this widely used approach is not optimal for learning; instead, more effective learning can be achieved when many problems to solve are replaced with correct and incorrect worked examples for students to study and explain. In the present study, the worked example approach is implemented and rigorously tested in the natural context of a functioning course. In Experiment 1, a randomized controlled study in ethnically diverse Algebra classrooms demonstrates that embedded worked examples can improve student achievement. In Experiment 2, a larger randomized controlled study demonstrated that improvement in posttest scores as a result of the assignments varies based on students’ prior knowledge; students with low prior knowledge tend to improve more than higher knowledge peers.

Journal of Research in Personality

Prior research has documented negative, concurrent relations between internalizing symptomatology and academic achievement among adolescents. The present study provided the first rigorous, longitudinal examination of the bi-directional, prospective relations between adolescent internalizing symptomatology and academic achievement. One hundred and thirty adolescents reported depression and anxiety annually from 6th through 10th grades, and GPA records were obtained annually from schools. Results showed that (a) high depression and anxiety at the beginning of a school year predicted lower GPA during that school year, and (b) low GPA in any school year predicted higher depression and anxiety at the beginning of the following school year. These findings underscore the tight link between adolescent internalizing symptomatology and academic achievement.

In the present research, we conducted two studies designed to examine the joint influence of avoidance temperament and avoidance-based achievement goals on the experience of flow on a creativity task. In both a laboratory study (N = 101) and a naturalistic study (N = 102), participants high in avoidance temperament were shown to experience greater flow when performance-avoidance goals were induced; no differences were found in any of the other three achievement goal conditions from the 2 x 2 achievement goal framework. These findings reveal a short-term benefit for a disposition-goal match grounded in avoidance motivation, and point to the need for more research on both avoidance-based matches and the short-term versus long-term implications of such matches.


Accuracy and Generalizability in Summaries of Affect Regulation Strategies: Comment on Webb, Miles, and Sheeran (2012)

In their examination of the effectiveness of affect regulation strategies, Webb, Miles, and Sheeran (2012) offered the results of a broad meta-analysis of studies on regulatory interventions. Their analysis provides an alternative to our earlier, more focused meta-analysis of the affect regulation literature (Augustine & Hemenover, 2009). Unfortunately, there are a number of errors and omissions in this new meta-analysis that could lead to misconceptions regarding both our previous work and the state of the affect regulation literature. In this comment, we examine the impact of methodological issues, inconsistent inclusion criteria, variance in manipulations, and what we perceive to be a subjective and inconsistent selection of effect sizes on the accuracy and generalizability of Webb and colleagues' estimates of affect regulation strategy effectiveness.

OBJECTIVE: Affective primes may impact ensuing behavior through condition and person effects. However, previous research has not experimentally disentangled these two sources of influence in affective priming paradigms. In the current research, we simultaneously examine the influence of condition factors, in terms of prime valence, and person factors, in terms of affect reactivity and personality. METHOD: In both studies, participants were primed with either positive or negative affective stimuli (words, Study 1; pictures, Study 2) prior to judging the likeability of a neutral target (Arabic characters, Study 1; inkblots, Study 2). RESULTS: Although we did observe between-condition differences for positive and negative primes, person-level effects were more consistent predictors of target ratings. Affect reactivity (affect time 2, controlling time 1) to the primes predicted evaluative judgments, even in the absence of condition effects. In addition, the personality traits of neuroticism (Study 1) and behavioral inhibition system sensitivity (Study 2) predicted evaluative judgments of neutral targets following negative affective primes. CONCLUSIONS: With effects for condition, affect reactivity, and personality, our results suggest that affective primes influence ensuing behaviors through both informational and affective means. Research using affective priming methodologies should take into account both condition and person-level effects.

Personality and Individual Differences

The social compensation hypothesis states that the internet primarily benefits individuals who feel uncomfortable communicating face-to-face. In the current research, we tested whether individuals higher in social anxiety use the internet as a compensatory social medium, and whether such use is associated with greater well-being. In Study 1, individuals higher in social anxiety reported greater feelings of comfort and self-disclosure when socializing online than less socially anxious individuals, but reported less self-disclosure when communicating face-to-face. However, in Study 2, social anxiety was associated with lower quality of life and higher depression most strongly for individuals who communicated frequently online. Our results suggest that, whereas social anxiety may be associated with using the internet as an alternative to face-to-face communication, such a strategy may result in poorer well-being.

... Personality is a framework that has been used to clarify the psychological context of multifaceted constructs (e.g., psychopathology; Watson et al., 2016)specifically, similarities and differences in personality trait connections offer rich insight into how related constructs are, themselves, similar and different. Personality is broad and encompasses patterns in thinking and behaving as well as core emotions (Augustine & Larsen, 2015). Nuanced and comprehensive personality-based frameworks may be useful in organizing and understanding the nature of instrumental and reactive aggression as related, yet distinct, constructs. ...

... 38). This theory positions learning as a process of human adaptation driven by the resolution between action/reflection and experience/abstraction (Kolb & Kolb, 2012). To transform an experience into learning, individuals begin with a concrete experience, reflect on their observations of the experience, comprehend the experience through abstract conceptualization, and then actively experiment with concepts generated by the experience (Kolb, 1984;Lutterman-Aguilar & Gingerich, 2002). ...

... Situated Expectancy-Value Theory Expectancy-Value Theory (EVT) postulates that some choices are motivated by a combination of people's expectations for success and subjective task value (Eccles, 1994;Wigfield and Eccles, 2000;Eccles and Wigfield, 2002). The model further differentiates task value into four components: attainment value (i.e., the importance of doing well), intrinsic value (i.e., personal enjoyment), utility value (i.e., perceived usefulness), and cost (i.e., competition with other goals) (Leaper, 2011). The model was recently improved to add an S (situated) to the EVT acronym as empirical work in individuals' developmental histories, the socio-cultural beliefs and values that influence individuals as they develop, and the situations in which they find themselves, are of such importance (Eccles and Wigfield, 2023). ...

... Si les contraintes sont munies de propagateur GAC, le principe ne dépend pas de l'ordre dans lequel ces propagations sont effectuées. Il est possible de générer avec un nombre linéaire d'étapes des ensemble en conflits minimaux au sens de l'inclusion[69] (ou encore logarithmique en procédant par dichotomie). Sachant que chaque ensemble en conflit engendrera au moins une violation, par une génération d'ensemble disjoints on peut obtenir une borne inférieure du nombre de contraintes violées. ...

... Applying an evolutionary epistemological jargon [162][163][164][165], it is safe to say that human beings today come with a biologically-evolved expectation to live in an oxygen-rich environment, and their gastro-intestinal tract as well as entire bodies expect to become populated with microbial communities, some of which will enable the digestion of food provided by the environments, others will be harmful for which the human body is or will be able to develop immunity. Equally, Hawaiian bobtail squids [117] come with a biochemically programmed expectation to find luminescent bacteria that will colonize their light organs, as well as induce post-translational epigenetic and morphological changes to it. ...

... Thus, the policymakers were compelled to rethink the contents of the teacher training programmes and there has been a great consciousness nowadays towards what contents to be incorporated in the pre-service, and in-service teacher training courses all over the world. On the other hand, Peters (2005) describes that the preparation of teachers depends upon three major elements: a basic general education in the liberal tradition, a thorough grasp of one or more academic disciplines taught in the schools, and an intellectual and practical introduction to a career in education which includes an internship or apprenticeship. Murray & Christison (2011), in the same vein, describe that the courses given in the teacher education should include the background information teachers need to know and be able to use in their classrooms. ...

According to Jeffrey Young [42,43], early maladaptive schemas are defined as lifelong, comprehensive and pervasive cognitive patterns that involve the individual's memories, emotions, body sensations and cognitions, and are directed towards one's self and relationships with others [36].

However, the preference for processing negative information is associated with young people (Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Finkenauer, & Vohs, 2001;Kensinger, 2012).

... In any interaction, individuals learn consciously and explicitly (March, 1994) but also unconsciously and implicitly (Pérez López, 1991, 1993Reber, 1992;Salas et al., 2009). Every decision generates learning which changes individuals by impacting their cognitive, motivational and affective levels and transforming their frames of reference (Mezirow, 1991). Pérez López (1991López ( , 1993 broadens these consequences to include the learning that arises from interactions. ...
