... Specifically, some authors have considered the interrelationship between the Big Five personality traits and student engagement in the classroom, particularly during the unexpected virtual learning environment associated with education during the COVID-19 pandemic. In undergraduate students, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and Neuroticism have been linked to online engagement [25,26], cyberslacking via engaging in other activities during class [27], and motivation [25]. However, the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and learning engagement has yet to be studied in students below the university level and, certainly, in adolescents with learning differences. ...

... In the case of protest action, Becker et al. (2011) found that collective action was positively associated with positive affect among German youth. Also, Lafreniere et al. (2023) found that Black Lives Matter (BLM) activism (mixed protesting and online participation) among Black young adults living in Canada had a positive cross-sectional association with life satisfaction. This was also corroborated by Klar and Kasser's (2009) results on high-risk activism (representing protest action). ...

... It is possible to explain this situation by ensuring harmony between learner expectations and the instructional efforts of candidate teachers. In this study, which is quite broad in scope, it can be said that the tendencies and behaviours of candidate teachers lead to the following effects on learners: causing changes in students' attitudes (Reeve and Tseng, 2011;Teo and Lee, 2010;Faulkner-Schneider, 2005, Schraw and, meeting expectations (Koestner and Levine, 2023;Kallery, et al, 2009;Tsai, 2002); contributing to the positive interaction between learner and teacher (Reeve and Tseng, 2011;Hamre and Pianta, 2006) encouraging critical thinking (Wei and Hu, 2018); and increasing autonomy, motivation and self-determination (Reeve, 2022(Reeve, , 2016Deci, 2020, 2017). ...

... To the extent that these basic needs are supported by others, people's autonomous engagement increases, leading to healthy emotional processing and integrative regulation. A growing number of self-determination theory research has supported the paramount importance of the clinician's basic need support in the context of health interventions, facilitating clients' engagement (e.g., Zuroff & Koestner, 2023). In particular, and relevant for the data of this study, self-determination theory research has revealed that high-quality listening, especially when the other expresses affect-laden or potentially threatening messages to self, is autonomy and relatedness supportive and enhances disclosure and integrative emotion regulation (Weinstein et al., 2022). ...

... Several strategies are supportive of psychological needs, such as encouraging people to reflect on important life aspirations, values, and long-term interests; considering external pressures and how they relate to their goals; and creating goal-attainment plans (Teixeira et al., 2020). In addition, a large body of research has shown that to the extent that goals are more congruent with an individual's personally held values, they experience more meaning, intrinsic motivation, and well-being (Emmons, 2003;Holding & Koestner, 2023;Klinger, 2012;Sheldon, 2014;Sheldon & Elliot, 1999). ...

(2023) reconocen también a la discriminación lingüística que se basa en la lengua que una persona habla o acento, manifestándose a través de la estigmatización y menosprecio de lenguas minoritarias, lo que tiene efectos negativos en la autoestima e identidad cultural de los hablantes de esas lenguas (Nweze et al., 2023). ...

... This seemingly mediated the positive effect of the didactical innovation on stress levels reported at the end of the course. This finding aligns with previous research showing that greater autonomy support promotes positive affect and better performance through autonomous motivation, while increased self-criticism leading to negative affect is mediated by controlled motivation [54]. Although we identified perceived competence and pressure to be among the most impactful predictors of stress at t 1 , our innovation did not succeed in significantly improving these factors by providing only strengths-based positive feedback. ...

... It is a teaching model where students watch asynchronous instructional videos or read some texts, articles, or books as homework while discussions, projects, experiments, and personalized coaching is carried out during class [3]. Other research highlights that FL has at least three essential elements: students obtain the majority of their course material from outside of the classroom; students actively engage with the material, other students, and the teacher in the classroom to complete higher-order learning activities; and students are required to complete outside-of-class tasks in order to benefit from the in-class activities [8]. ...

... Recent reviews have demonstrated that it plays an important role in the development of a wide range of disorders, considering it to be a transdiagnostic dimension and a vulnerability factor that contributes to the development and maintenance of several mental health difficulties (Gilbert & Irons, 2005;Werner et al., 2019). It should be noted that the literature is particularly consistent when it comes to relating self-criticism to depressive symptoms, in both adults (Petrocchi et al., 2019;Aruta et al., 2021;Powers et al., 2023) and children (McIntyre et al., 2018;Barcaccia et al., 2020). ...

... Health information literacy refers to a person's ability to acquire, evaluate and use health knowledge and information (Fu et al., 2021). According to social cognitive theory, there is a positive correlation between health efficacy and health information literacy, which involves knowing where to find relevant information and how to identify it (Lee et al., 2020;Audet et al., 2023). Information literacy and the ability to access relevant information are closely linked (Okunola et al., 2017). ...
