Effects of perceived variety-support on middle school students' learning engagement in physical education: the mediating role of motivation.

High engagement in physical education (PE) could effectively develop students' motor competence and promote physical activity, which was significantly important for students' physical and mental health. Researches had shown that motivation was an important factor in explaining students' learning engagement, and variety-support as the fourth independent psychological need was a potential factor influencing students' learning motivation. However, there was a lack of empirical research evidence on the effect of perceived variety-support on middle school students' learning engagement in PE and the influencing mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate the direct effect of perceived variety-support on learning engagement in PE and the mediating effect of motivation in PE on the relationship. A cross-sectional study was conducted and 587 middle school students from Liaoning province filled the paper-and-pencil questionnaires adopting perceived variety-support in PE scale (PVSPES), utrecht work engagement scale-student (UWES-S), and perceived locus of causality in PE scale, which had been proved to have good reliability and validity (294 boys and 293 girls, Mage=13.47 ± 0.94). The results showed three variables were significantly positively correlated with each other (r = 0.323-0.562 p < 0.01) and perceived variety-support in PE could not only directly promote middle school students' learning engagement in PE but also indirectly through the mediating effect of motivation in PE. Therefore, in order to better promote students' participation in PE class, we should pay more attention to satisfy students' varied PE learning needs and stimulate students' autonomous learning motivation.

Objectives This study is to examine the mediating effect of class satisfaction in the effect of nursing students' English learning motivation on English learning continuity and the effect of nursing students' English learning motivation and English learning continuity. Methods 274 university students in J area were surveyed to measure their English learning motivation, class satisfaction, and level of English learning continuity, and descriptive statistical analysis was conducted. The correlation between the variables was calculated by the Pearson correlation coefficient, and the mediating effect of class satisfaction in the relationship between the subject's English learning motivation and English learning continuity was analyzed using Hayes (2013)'s PROCESS macro Model 4. Results The effect of English learning motivation on the mediating variable, class satisfaction, was statistically significant (β=.591, p&lt;.001), and the effect of the independent variable, English learning motivation, on the dependent variable, English learning continuity was also statistically significant (β=.484, p&lt;.001). In addition, as a result of conducting a mediated regression analysis by using English learning motivation, an independent variable, and class satisfaction, a parameter, as an independent variable, and English learning continuity as a dependent variable, the effect of English learning motivation on English learning continuity decreased compared to the previous one, but a positive relationship was still analyzed to be significant, indicating that class satisfaction had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between English learning motivation and English learning continuity of college students (β=.379, p&lt;.001). Conclusions It was confirmed that nursing students' English learning motivation had a significant positive effect on liberal arts English class satisfaction and English learning continuity, and it was verified that liberal arts English class satisfaction positively mediated the relationship between English learning motivation and English learning continuity.

Contextual Factors Influencing Online Support Providers’ Motivations and Message Provision

This study examined how contextual factors influence support providers’ motivations and message provision. Participants (N = 602) provided supportive messages in response to support-seeking posts sent either publicly or privately through either Facebook or an online support group. Findings revealed that providers’ motivations and message provision varied as a function of the channel and privacy of communication. Moderated mediation analyses showed that privacy moderated the indirect effect of channel on verbal person-centered message provision through approach motivation. This project advances extant understanding regarding direct and indirect effects of contextual factors and motivations on the quality of supportive messages people produce.

Effects of Health-related Deepfakes on Misperceptions: Moderating Effects of Issue Relevance and Accuracy Motivation

ABSTRACT Among its many applications, artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to manipulate audiovisual content for malicious intents. Such manipulations – which are commonly known as deepfakes – present a significant obstacle to maintaining truth in sectors that serve the public interest, and it is necessary to take proactive fact-checking actions to respond to the threat they pose. The current study conducted an online experiment focusing on the topic of cancer prevention. In this experiment, we further examined the influence of individual differences, such as issue relevance and motns, in health information consumption. When compared to textual disinformation, health-related audiovisual deepfakes were found to have a significant effect on increasing misperceptions but no such effect on fact-checking intentions. We also found that exposure to such deepfakes discouraged individuals with high issue relevance from engaging in fact-checking. Deepfakes were also shown to have a particularly potent effect on increasing misperceptions among individuals with high (illusory) accuracy motivations. These findings underscore the need for increased awareness regarding the detrimental effects of health deepfakes in particular and the urgent importance of further elucidating individual variations to ultimately develop more comprehensive approaches to combat deepfakes.

The interrelationships between emotional intelligence, achievement motivation and students’ employability: exploring the mediating effect of self-efficacy

PurposeThis research examines the mediating effect of self-efficacy among interrelationships of emotional intelligence, achievement motivation and students’ employability in the Chinese higher education institutions. This study was primarily conducted by applying the social cognitive theory to explain the beliefs and abilities of being employed for university students and influenced by their achievement motivation.Design/methodology/approachA survey approach was employed to collect the samples of 585 final-year college students using the convenience sampling method from 5 different Chinese higher education institutions. The structural equation modeling (SEM) approach was used as the data analysis method.FindingsThe result significantly supported the positive effect of emotional intelligence (ß = 0.298, p < 0.001) and achievement motivation (ß = 0.307, p < 0.001) on students’ employability. Furthermore, the results also showed that self-efficacy significantly had a mediating effect between achievement motivation and employability (ß = 0.119, CI95%: 0.062, 0.195) among college students. However, the study confirmed that self-efficacy was not associated with the relationship between emotional intelligence and employability (ß = 0.029, CI95%: −0.003, 0.075).Originality/valueThis research clarifies and highlights that psychological variables have highly correlated with the employability outcomes of university students. The findings also hold significant value and practical implications for the governments, colleges, and students that enhancing employability should be through targeted interventions. This study sets the stage for future research exploring potential mediators of motivation and other essential factors that may influence among the existing relationship.

Let the students be heard – student voices on teaching excellence awards

ABSTRACT Globally, academics are encouraged to facilitate teaching excellence. Many business schools use teaching excellence awards to recognize exceptional efforts toward students’ learning, foster pedagogical innovation, and improve faculty motivation. However, prior literature has noted that many business schools lack clear and transparent criteria for TE awards, which can hinder the process and potentially reduce the motivational effects. Research has yet to fully incorporate student voices across a global setting into the evaluation criterion. As a result, this study seeks to identify universal criteria for TE awards based on a large-scale survey of 2,775 business students across eleven countries and five continents intending to capture global student perspectives. First, we reveal whether the possession of a TE award for an educator has any importance from students’ perspectives. Second, we find that students across the globe have a general agreement regarding the criteria for awarding an excellent educator by identifying 30 criteria for TE awards students noted across our global sample. Third, we reveal 15 criteria that are specific to some countries but not globally. Lastly, we explore the differences in TE award criteria across different study levels. Overall, our study makes a significant contribution by identifying global criteria based on student voice to inform the development of teaching excellence award criteria in business education or by higher education providers and professional bodies.

The patient’s perspective on rehabilitation with wireless accelerometers, activity tracking and motivational feedback following knee replacement: A qualitative study prior to a randomised controlled trial (KneeActivity)

BackgroundAs healthcare systems evolve, individuals are expected to be more involved in managing their health and rehabilitation. A wireless medical accelerometer (SENS motion®) has been developed to collect objective data on physical activity. The number of patients requiring knee replacement is rising, but the motivational effect of medical accelerometers in the rehabilitation after knee replacement remains unexplored. This study aims to employ a user-driven approach to tailor the SENS motion® technology for patients undergoing knee replacement prior to testing the refined technology in a randomised controlled trial. MethodsThe study used a Participatory Design research methodology, emphasising collaboration and user involvement. It was carried out in three sessions, each aimed at refining the SENS motion® system toward the needs of the patient group in focus. The first session involved six healthcare professionals who provided written feed-back. The second and third sessions included testing and subsequent interviews of patients (n = 10). After each session, conducted in iterative processes (plan, act, observe, reflect), SENS motion® system revisions were implemented according to the patient’s wishes. The data collected were then analysed using qualitative content analysis. ResultsPrior to patient testing, healthcare professionals identified functional and technical errors that required modifications. Patient interviews revealed that (1) there were positive attitudes towards the SENS motion® system, (2) patients were motivated by daily step counts and geographical locations, especially when they were familiar with landmarks, and (3) active involvement of family members was found to be feasible, which contributed to a sense of solidarity during the rehabilitation process. ConclusionThis study applied a user-driven approach to customise health technology for postoperative rehabilitation in knee replacement patients. Initially, the technology had both technical and functional problems, but system revisions based on patient feedback improved its acceptance. The refined technology is undergoing testing in a randomised design.

Social addiction or nicotine addiction? The effect of smoking social motivation on inhibitory control under smoking social cues: Evidence from ERPs

IntroductionPrevious studies and theoretical models suggest that the decreasing effect of smoking-related cues on inhibitory control in individuals who smoke is one of the underlying mechanisms of smoking behavior. However, many studies have overlooked the effects of other types of smoking-related cues, such as social cues. Moreover, previous studies have lacked investigation into whether this decreasing effect is influenced by internal factors. The present study aims to integrate behavioral and electrophysiological indicators to investigate the effect of smoking social cues on inhibitory control in individuals who smoke, as well as the moderating role of social motivations. MethodIn Experiment 1, a visual Go/NoGo paradigm with four types of backgrounds (neutral, neutral social, smoking object, and smoking social backgrounds) was used to record the error rates and reaction times of 32 participants who smoke. In Experiment 2, the Go/NoGo paradigm with two types of backgrounds (smoking object and smoking social backgrounds) was used to record the error rates, reaction times, and amplitudes of the N2 and P3 event-related potentials among 30 participants who smoke with varying degrees of primed smoking social motivation. Results(1) Individuals who smoke had higher commission error rates and larger P3 amplitude under smoking social background than under smoking object background; (2) individuals who smoke with primed high smoking social motivation, rather than low motivation had higher commission error rates and larger P3 amplitude under smoking social background than under smoking object background. ConclusionsSmoking social cues have a greater capacity to decrease inhibitory control in people who smoke than smoking object cues, and this decreasing effect is bolstered by smoking social motivation.

The Effects of Instructional Approaches and Motivation on Students’ Reading Comprehension at MTS’s Amal Shaleh Simalingkar

Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill that serves as the foundation for effective learning and intellectual growth. GSSR's comprehensive approach extends beyond the classroom, fostering a lifelong appreciation for reading. A significant area of focus in educational psychology is the relationship between motivation and reading comprehension. This relationship has been shown to influence student engagement, perseverance, and, ultimately, academic achievement. The objective of this study was to ascertain whether the GSSR approach is more effective than the non-GSR treatment. Additionally, the study aimed to determine whether students with high levels of motivation demonstrate superior reading comprehension skills compared to those who are less motivated. Finally, the study sought to investigate whether there is a relationship between teaching the GSSR approach versus the conventional approach and the level of motivation on students' reading comprehension. This study employed a quantitative research design. The study was conducted at MTS Amal Saleh. The study sample consisted of 62 students from grades 8A, 8B, and 8C. The data analysis employed descriptive analysis, the Wilcoxon test, and the N-gain Score test. The findings indicated that the GSSR approach was more effective than the conventional method in enhancing students' reading comprehension. The success rate for the former was 55%, while the latter was 81.81%. Additionally, the students' mean scores were 70.25 and 77.75, respectively, for classes 8B and 8C. The enhancement of students' reading comprehension with high motivation yields superior outcomes compared to the improvement of students' reading comprehension with low motivation. This was demonstrated by the fact that the GSSR + Motivation method resulted in a 76.81% increase in the pass rate and a 38.44-point increase in the average score.
