The mediating role of EFL/ESL teachers’ academic optimism and positive psychological capital in their pedagogical effectiveness

A growing scholarly attention has been paid to the psycho-emotional side of second/foreign language (L2) education in the past decade. Optimal teaching and student achievement are no longer solely governed by teachers’ pedagogical skills and practices. Instead, various psycho-affective variables mediate the process of teaching English and its effectiveness. However, the way EFL/ESL teachers’ academic optimism and positive psychological capital influence their pedagogical effectiveness in light of demographic factors is neglected. To fill this gap, this study used three online questionnaires to examine the predictive role of 338 Chinese EFL/ESL teachers’ academic optimism and positive psychological capital in their pedagogical effectiveness. The results of structural equation modeling (SEM) and the standardized regression weights demonstrated a strong correlation between demographic factors and teacher’s academic optimism and teacher’s positive psychological capital. Moreover, a strong association was observed between teacher’s positive psychological capital and teacher effectiveness, while academic optimism did not correlate with teacher effectiveness. Furthermore, positive psychological capital could predict about 67% of changes in Chinese EFL/ESL teachers’ pedagogical effectiveness. The study also discusses the implications and suggestions for further research to deepen L2 educators’ knowledge of teacher-psychology.

The Four-Capital Theory as Framework for Teacher Retention and Attrition

There has been a strong interest in teacher retention and attrition which has been studied extensively over the past twenty or more years. While some researchers have attributed teacher attrition to low teacher salaries, poor working conditions, lack of administrative support and resources, other research focuses on the “emotional” aspect of the profession where educators continue to stay because of their love for teaching, for their students, and how they imagine possibilities for their students’ futures. A more comprehensive theory of retention and attrition is Mason and Matas’ (2015) four capital framework which consists of human capital, social capital, structural capital, and positive psychological capital. In our research with teacher residents in a preparation program, we used interviews, survey, and focus group to obtain data, and found strong prevalence of the four capitals as competing and intersecting phenomenon aiding in understanding the varied and complex factors that contribute to teacher retention or attrition. Additionally, we found that one or more of these four capitals may significantly impact teacher retention or attrition more than others, at any given time and one type of capital may help to overcome limitations in another. Therefore, we found this to be a worthwhile framework to incorporate in teacher preparation.

Employment Education and Psychological Work of Students in Lower Colleges and Universities Based on the Hierarchical Analysis Method

Abstract This paper establishes a platform interaction model in the context of Internet+ to enhance the motivation of college students to take the initiative to receive employment and entrepreneurship guidance and training. A psychological intervention model regarding hope, optimism, self-efficacy, and resilience is constructed. A new method of fuzzy number ordering determined by the limit coefficient can be obtained by defining the limit coefficient of triangular fuzzy numbers. Hierarchical analysis was used to analyze the employment choice dilemma faced by fresh university graduates and to guide them in making the correct employment choices. The results show that the total mean score of positive psychological capital is 119.99, which indicates that the level of positive psychological capital among college students is high. Employers are very satisfied with the graduates’ operational application ability, which reaches 35%.

Objectives This study set up and verified a structural model to verify the multiple mediating effect of academic grit and positive psychological capital in the relationship between parental bonding patterns and academic ach-ievement of college students.
 Methods A survey was conducted on 350 4-year university students located in J-province. Parental bonding pat-terns, which are antecedent variables, were divided into parental care and parental overprotection. A research model was established with parental care and parental overprotection as the antecedent variables, academic grit and positive psychological capital as the mediating variables, and academic achievement as the dependent variable. Correlation analysis and structural equation model(SEM) verification were performed on the collected da-ta, and a phantom model was constructed and the bootstrapping method was used to verify the multiple media-ting effect.
 Results First, 6 out of 9 pathways in the research model (parental care→academic grit, parental care→positive psychological capital, parental overprotection→positive psychological capital, academic grit→positive psycho-logical capital, academic grit→academic achievement, positive Psychological capital → Academic achievement) was found to be significant. Second, as a result of structural equation model (SEM) verification of the modified model excluding three paths that were not statistically significant, it was found to show a very good fit. Third, as a result of constructing a phantom model and verifying the multiple mediating effect, the multiple mediating effect of academic grit and positive psychological capital was significant in the relationship between parental care and academic achievement. And positive psychological capital was found to act as a complete parameter in the rela-tionship between parental overprotection and academic achievement. 
 Conclusions The results of this study suggest that it is necessary to understand the psychological mechanism that the parental bonding patterns of college students affects academic achievement, and based on this, educational guidance and intervention are needed to enhance academic grit and positive psychological capital.

Risks of passive use of social network sites in youth athletes: a moderated mediation analysis.

With the popularity of social media platforms, the use of social networks challenges the well-being and mental health of athletes. Despite ongoing scholarly discussions about the effects of passive use of social network sites, few studies have examined the relationship between the passive use of social network sites and mental health in young athletes from a social comparison perspective. To address this research gap, we draw on the social comparison and developmental systems theories to explore the mediating effect of upward social comparison on passive social network site use and mental health, as well as the moderating effects of positive psychological capital. We analyzed data about 350 young athletes from professional Chinese sports universities. As predicted, passive use of social network sites by young athletes increased anxiety (β = 0.26, p < 0.001) and decreased subjective well-being (β = -0.35, p < 0.001). Upward social comparisons had positive (β = 0.22, p < 0.001) and negative (β = -0.34, p < 0.001) mediating effects in passive social network site use and anxiety/subjective well-being. Positive psychological capital played a moderating effect between upward social comparison and anxiety (β = -0.28, p < 0.001), and subjective well-being (β = 0.24, p < 0.001); the moderated mediation effect was also supported. Our study informs the current research by highlighting the importance of upward social comparison as a critical mechanism and positive psychological capital as a boundary condition. We suggest actively maintaining and enhancing positive psychological capital to mitigate the adverse effects of upward social comparison.
