Motherhood in the Making: Key Determinants of Parenthood Motivation in Young Adult Women

Background: Demographic changes are often prone to purely social perspectives, while individual differences are overlooked. This research examines the role of attachment and emotional intelligence in childbearing motivation. Methods: In total, 234 female students participated in an online survey, including sociodemographic data, adult attachment, emotional competencies, and parenting-related variables. Results: Statistical analyses revealed that the students express positive and negative childbearing motivation almost equally and moderately. They were both linked to religiosity and emotional management. We further explore the differences in relationship status and address the role of religious beliefs. The demographic measures identified as most important include healthcare availability for both mother and child, subsidizing housing loans or rent, and encouraging fathers to become more actively involved in the care of infants. Conclusion: These emerging trends deserve further investigation and social incentives.

Exploring the Interplay Between Self-Confidence and Emotional Intelligence in College-Level Educators: Implications for Teaching Effectiveness and Student Engagement

This study explores the relationship between self-confidence and emotional intelligence in college-level educators and examines their combined impact on teaching effectiveness and student engagement. As modern educational demands evolve, educators are increasingly recognized for their role in not only delivering content but also in fostering an inclusive, emotionally supportive learning environment. Self-confidence enables educators to present material with clarity, maintain authority, and adapt to diverse classroom challenges, while emotional intelligence equips them with empathy, self-awareness, and social skills essential for connecting with students on a personal level. The interplay of these traits contributes to a balanced teaching approach that supports both academic and emotional needs in students, thereby promoting active engagement, participation, and a positive classroom climate. This study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative self assessments and qualitative interviews to capture the nuanced ways in which self-confidence and emotional intelligence interact and influence teaching dynamics. Findings indicate that educators who possess both high self-confidence and emotional intelligence create classrooms that encourage open communication, foster psychological safety, and inspire student motivation. However, several limitations are noted, including the subjective nature of self-reported data and the influence of cultural and contextual factors on perceptions of confidence and emotional intelligence. Additionally, the study's cross-sectional design limits insights into the long-term development of these traits in educators. Despite these limitations, the study underscores the critical role of emotional and interpersonal skills in effective teaching, suggesting that professional development programs should integrate training in self-confidence and emotional intelligence to enhance educators’ overall impact. These findings contribute to a growing body of literature advocating for a holistic approach to educator preparation, one that values emotional acumen and self-assuredness alongside academic expertise. By emphasizing the importance of these traits, institutions can better support educators in creating enriching, engaging, and resilient learning environments that prepare students for both academic success and personal growth.

The Influence of Emotional Intelligence on Psychiatric Nurses' Care Behavior, and the Chain Mediating Role of Compassion Fatigue and Perception of Management.

To investigate psychiatric nurses' emotional intelligence and its effect on care behavior, while also examining the mediating effect of compassion fatigue and perception of management. This cross-sectional study was conducted in several specialized psychiatric hospitals with 360 psychiatric nurses. Self-report surveys were administered, which included the Caring Factor Survey-Caring of Manager, Caring Behaviors Inventory, Compassion Fatigue Short Scale, and Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive, correlation, and path analyses. Mean score for care behavior was 4.78 (SD = 0.83), which was at a moderate level. Compassion fatigue exhibited negative correlations with other variables. Results of mediation effect analysis showed that emotional intelligence directly predicted care behavior (p < 0.001). Emotional intelligence also indirectly affected care behavior through the mediating roles of perception of management and compassion fatigue, and affected care behavior through the chain mediation effect of perception of management and compassion fatigue. Nurse managers should pay attention to the influence of emotional intelligence on care behavior and improve care behavior by strengthening leadership and alleviating compassion fatigue.

Assessing the impact of a video literacy program on emotional intelligence and resilience to extremism in primary school children

This research aimed to enhance emotional awareness and engender empathy among primary school students in Pakistan through education, ultimately fostering emotional regulation and preventing disruptive behaviors. While emotional intelligence (EI) is increasingly recognized as a vital component in counter-terrorism efforts, it is seldom emphasized by young primary school students. Research suggests that educational programs based on videos and cartoons can help children retain information effectively over time. Therefore, an educational program was designed around a video/animated cartoon series focusing on EI themes of developing empathy and emotional awareness. This program included teaching aids, worksheets, and activity-based learning. It was conducted using a mixed methods approach within a quasi-experimental design in two primary schools in Pakistan’s Rawalpindi/Islamabad region. Pre- and post-test assessments revealed that students initially lacked awareness of core EI concepts and had limited prior knowledge of empathy. However, significant improvements were observed in their post-test scores across all EI-related areas. The findings suggest that incorporating EI training into school curricula could help nurture emotional resilience and mitigate extremist tendencies among children in the future.

The COVID-19 pandemic, a global catastrophe, has had an immeasurably negative impact on individuals' daily lives. It has also provided an opportunity to investigate the factors contributing to students' life satisfaction during such difficult times. Considering the unique characteristics of these university students, the current study examines the impact of emotional intelligence (EI) on students' life satisfaction, as well as the direct and sequential mediating effects of interpersonal competence and anxiety on this relationship. A total of 297 university students in Shanghai, China, participated in the study. All participants were recruited online during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022. Four well-established questionnaires were utilized to assess students' trait emotional intelligence, interpersonal competence, anxiety, and life satisfaction. The findings indicate that interpersonal competence significantly mediates the relationship between EI and life satisfaction. Although anxiety does not significantly mediate this relationship, it plays a notable role in the sequential mediating effect involving interpersonal competence and anxiety. The study reveals that nurturing students' EI can significantly enhance their interpersonal competence, which can reduce anxiety and ultimately increase their self-reported life satisfaction.

When creativity wakes up emotions: an illustration of a creative course for pre-service teacher training

In the current dynamic society, creativity stands as a crucial asset, empowering individuals to devise new and inventive solutions to navigate the shifts accompanying societal evolution. This trend significantly influences both the preparation of future educators and the ongoing professional growth of practicing teachers. It's essential to consider the connection between students' emotional experiences during the learning process to foster their creativity. The correlation between a person's emotional state and their creativity shows that both negative and positive emotions can influence creative expression. Furthermore, emotional intelligence (EI) is assumed to help prioritize thinking and manage emotions in different life situations, with the initial EI process being assessing and expressing of emotions. This study evaluates the emergence of emotions experienced by students in an academic context, focusing on action-research with Master’s students (n = 10), who are future teachers for Secondary schools in Switzerland. Throughout the creative course, participants utilized a Creative Process Report Diary (CRD) to document the emotions they experienced while engaging in the diverse creative activities. The findings of this study indicate that participants predominantly encountered positive emotions during creative activities, such as enthusiasm and pleasure. Initial emotions sometimes leaned towards the negative spectrum, characterized by frustration or fear. However, as the creative activity unfolded, these emotions evolved into more positive ones, such as pleasure or interest. This study contributes to our understanding of the interplay between emotions and creativity and provides insights into how managing these emotions can foster a productive and creative learning environment for future teachers, even though emotional intelligence was not directly tested in this research.
