The Relationship between Professors’ Motivation and Interpersonal Behaviour Styles in the Classroom, and Course Evaluations

Professors create a positive learning environment for students through their interpersonal behaviour style in the classroom. High quality interpersonal interactions are associated with a number of positive student outcomes such as increased motivation, effort, learning, satisfaction, and higher ratings on formal student evaluations of teaching (SETs). This study tested a Self-Determination Theory model in a university setting by measuring the association between professors’ reported psychological need satisfaction, teaching motivation, and self-reported supportive interpersonal behaviour styles, exploring how these variables related to SETs. Overall, we found support for the model; all relationships were significant and in the expected direction except that reported autonomy and competence supportive behaviours did not relate to SETs. From this, we can conclude that relatedness support is important to the student experience and that professors who engage in relatedness supportive interpersonal behaviours are also positively evaluated by their students.

18세기 韓․中 人物記事 연구

This paper was planned as part of a study to understand the universality and specificity of character articles in the late Joseon Dynasty. In the 18th century, when character accounts in the late Joseon Dynasty showed various changes, Kwon Sang-il and Joo Gyun, literati in Korea and China, intensively covered 節·烈. Kwon Sang-il’s character stories record women who chose to die after their husbands died. Joo-gyun’s works have a mixture of 烈行 and 節行. The fact that Kwon Sang-il’s works emphasized sincerity stems from the fact that women’s fidelity and protection are regarded as ‘the manifestation of virtue’. On the other hand, the fact that Joo Gyun emphasized the character’s will is the result of looking at the behavioral style of women’s 志操 protection from the dimension of ‘realization of duty’. On the other hand, all the works related to 節烈, starting with Kwon Sang-il, are selecting characters from the existing conservative point of view, which venerated the woman who gave up her life. This is a different aspect from Korea’s Inmuljeon or China’s character articles of the same period, which also recognized the value of 節烈. Also, this is contrary to the 18th century Korean character articles accepting various changes in terms of characters, experiences, and descriptions. In the end, it can be seen that Korean character writers of this period still maintained a conservative view on the behavior of a wife.

Molecular changes in hippocampal energy metabolism in mice selectively bred for extremes in stress reactivity: relevance of mitochondrial dysfunction for affective disorders.

Affective disorders, such as major depression, are frequently associated with metabolic disturbances involving mitochondria. Although dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is known to alter energy metabolism, the precise mechanisms linking stress and metabolic disturbances are not sufficiently understood. We used a mouse model of affective disorders to investigate the impact of a genetic predisposition for extremes in stress reactivity on behavioural and metabolic phenotypes as well as energy metabolism. Adult males of three independent mouse lines selectively bred for high, intermediate or low HPA axis reactivity were tested for exploratory and locomotor activity as well as stress-coping behaviour. Additionally, basal and stress-induced plasma corticosterone levels, body weight, food intake and body composition were measured. At the molecular level, the hippocampal transcriptome was analysed using microarray, serial analysis of gene expression and qRT-PCR. Finally, mitochondrial DNA copy number, damages and mitochondrial respiration were assessed. We found clear effects of the differential stress reactivity on the behavioural, morphometric and metabolic measures. Remarkably, the hyperactive behavioural and neuroendocrine stress-coping style of High Reactivity mice was associated with significant changes in the expression of an extended list of genes involved in energy metabolism and several mitochondrial functions. Yet, only minor changes were found in mitochondrial DNA copy number, damages and respiration. Thus, our findings support a prominent role of glucocorticoids in shaping the major endophenotypes of the stress reactivity mouse model and contribute towards understanding the important role of HPA axis dysregulation and changes in energy metabolism in the pathophysiology of affective disorders.

Situational leadership is a flexible leadership approach that is considered the key to success in a changing world. This article examines what situational leadership is, how it is practiced, and why it is important. Situational leadership is based on the leader's understanding of a situation and the needs of the team or organization. The leader adapts his behavior and leadership style according to changing conditions and needs. This approach stands out with the flexibility and adaptability of the leader, rather than adopting a single leadership style. The article highlights the basic elements of situational leadership. Among these, the leader's communication skills, empathy ability, decision-making ability and team management play an important role. The leader needs to be sensitive to the needs of the team and guide accordingly. In a changing world, organizations are constantly faced with new challenges. Situational leadership offers an effective way to deal with these challenges. The leader can quickly adapt to changing market conditions, technological developments and customer expectations. It can also increase success by recognizing the talents of different team members and motivating them properly. The article also highlights the benefits of the situational leadership approach. This approach helps create a culture of flexibility, innovation and creativity in organizations. It also encourages employee engagement and increases team motivation. Situational leadership enables the leader to work together with his team to achieve common goals. In conclusion, the article emphasizes that the situational leadership approach is a flexible way for success in a changing world. It is important that leaders develop the skills to adapt to changing conditions and meet the needs of the team. Situational leadership helps organizations gain competitive advantage in rapidly changing environments and increases success. Keywords: Situational leadership, leader, leadership style

Should I post? The relationships among social media use, emotion recognition, and mental health.

While increased time spent on social media can be negatively related to one's overall mental health, social media research often fails to account for what behaviors users are actually engaging in while they are online. The present research helps to address this gap by measuring participants' active and passive social media behavioral styles and investigates whether and how these two social media behavioral styles are related to depression, anxiety, and stress, and the mediating role of emotion recognition ability in this relationship. A pre-study (N = 128) tested whether various social media behaviors reliably grouped into active and passive behavioral styles, and a main study (N = 139) tested the relationships between social media use style, emotion recognition, and mental health. While we did not find evidence of a mediating relationship between these variables, results supported that more active social media use was related to more severe anxiety and stress as well as poorer emotion recognition skill, while passive social media use was unrelated to these outcomes. These findings highlight that, beyond objective time spent on social media, future research must consider how users are spending their time online.

Evaluation of Fuel Economy Benefits of Radar-Based Driver Assistance in Randomized Traffic

<div>Certain advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) have the potential to boost energy efficiency in real-world scenarios. This article details a radar-based driver assistance scheme designed to minimize fuel consumption for a commercial vehicle by predictively optimizing braking and driving torque inputs while accommodating the driver’s demand. The workings of the proposed scheme are then assessed with a novel integration of the driver assistance functionality in randomized traffic microsimulation. Although standardized test procedures are intended to mimic urban and highway speed profiles for the purposes of evaluating fuel economy and emissions, they do not explicitly consider the interactions present in real-world driving between the ego vehicle equipped with ADAS and other vehicles in traffic. This article presents one approach to address the drawback of standardized test procedures for evaluating the fuel economy benefits of ADAS technologies. This approach is demonstrated by using a microsimulation of a traffic network into which the ego vehicle with the proposed driver assistance scheme is embedded for continuous interaction with the traffic. The analysis and results from stochastic simulations consider variations in the behavioral style of the driver of the ego vehicle and the traffic density. Strong variations, up to 10% in the fuel economy benefits, are observed between both variations presented in this study and what is obtained in typical deterministic evaluations mirroring standard test procedures.</div>

THE CULTURE OF EVERYDAY LIFE: TRENDS OF CHANGE

Society is the most dynamic structure of being. Determining the direction of its changes is the way to success in planning and implementing any social initiatives and projects. Everyday life is an area where changes underlie many social changes that determine the dynamics of social development. Identifying trends in the culture of everyday life opens up opportunities for scientific planning of the development of society, improving the quality of life and meeting the needs of individuals, that underlines the main relevance of the study. The main purpose of the study is to identify trends in the changing culture of everyday life at the present stage of the development of Russian society. The dialectical method and the system-structural approach allowed us to determine how people's daily communication has changed due to the introduction of information technologies and digitalization into life, how the "visual turn" determines people's interests and their daily contacts, how following the social stratification of Russian society associated with the country's transition to the capitalist path of development, the daily life of people has become diverse. Social groups that differ in the way and style of everyday life have been formed. All of these phenomena have prospects for further development and act as major trends in changing the culture of everyday life, and the scientific novelty and value of the study consists in their identification, analysis and a systematization. The practical significance of this article is seen in the use of its results in the context of the organization of both everyday events and in the planning of further transformations of Russian society, taking into account the changes occurring in the culture of everyday life: digitalization, visualization, the formation of diverse styles of behavior and lifestyles. The use of a historical approach and the reliance on sociological material from VTSIOM made it possible to show that the newly emerged trends exist on a par with the cultural traditions of Russians, with their interest in reading, visiting theaters, exhibitions, museums, which also constitute an important part of their lives. Thus, innovations in the culture of everyday life are combined with traditions of everyday life-such a conclusion derives from this study.

Social Relationship Analysis Using State-of-the-art Embeddings

Detection of human relationships from their interactions on social media is a challenging problem with a wide range of applications in different areas, like targeted marketing, cyber-crime, fraud, defense, planning, and human resource, to name a few. All previous work in this area has only dealt with the most basic types of relationships. The proposed approach goes beyond the previous work to efficiently handle the hierarchy of social relationships. This article introduces a novel technique named Quantifiable Social Relationship (QSR) analysis for quantifying social relationships to analyze relationships between agents from their textual conversations. QSR uses cross-disciplinary techniques from computational linguistics and cognitive psychology to identify relationships. QSR utilizes sentiment and behavioral styles displayed in the conversations for mapping them onto level II relationship categories. Then, for identifying the level III relationship categories, QSR uses level II relationships, sentiments, interactions, and word embeddings as key features. QSR employs natural language processing techniques for feature engineering and state-of-the-art embeddings generated by word2vec, global vectors (glove), and bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (bert). QSR combines the intrinsic conversational features with word embeddings for classifying relationships. QSR achieves an accuracy of up to 89% for classifying relationship subtypes. The evaluation shows that QSR can accurately identify the hierarchical relationships between agents by extracting intrinsic and extrinsic features from textual conversations between agents.

FMRI Brain Response in Patients with Depression at the Time of Control of the Severity of Positive Social Emotions and Analysis of Behavioral Factors.

The study presents functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data on the brain activity in depression and psycho-diagnostic indicators that characterize cognitive activity strategies of positive social emotion regulation. It was shown that fMRI activity of the brain during viewing of emotionally neutral and moderately positive images and searching for an optimal self-regulation strategy was associated with changes in activation in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex. Analysis of behavioral factors showed that strategies of searching for the optimal way of emotional self-regulation were closely related to the general style of behavior, level of uncertainty tolerance, and commitment. The integration of psycho-diagnostic and neuroimaging data allows deeper understanding of the mechanisms of emotions regulation that contributes to the optimization of protocols for the diagnosis and treatment of depressive disorders.

Pedagogue’s psychological health as a factor of professional longevity

Introduction. The relevance of studying the problem of pedagogue’s professional longevity is accounted for by the need of the modern educational system in efficient and experienced teachers. Among the factors influencing the duration of professional activity, psychological health and its components are significant. The identified risks of psycho-emotional state, self-regulation of behaviour, self-perception and interpersonal interaction actualise the phenomenon of “professional longevity” and form the basis of psychological health. The purpose of the study is to reveal the correlation between the pedagogue’s psychological health and professional longevity. Research methodology and techniques. The theoretical basis of the research is represented by the ideas and concepts focused on the psychological component of general health as well as the notions of psychological health and factors influencing it. To investigate the relationship between psychological health and professional longevity, a group of testees was formed according to age category, with regard for their pedagogical experience. A total of 200 teachers from general educational organisations of Voronezh Region (Russian Federation) took part in the empirical survey. The selected techniques included: Psychological health diagnostics after A.V. Kozlova; “Self-regulation behaviour style”; research of self-esteem according to S.R. Pantileev. Spearman’s rank correlation method was used for statistical processing of the results. Results. The survey results analysis revealed the impact of psychological health indicators on the length of pedagogical activity. The interrelation between the pedagogues’ general self-regulation level and psychological health has been confirmed; in addition, some of self-attitude characteristics correlate with the indicators of psychological health (p < 0,05). A high level of psychological health was revealed in 36% of the pedagogues having 10 to 25 years of professional experience. The low level of psychological health was recorded in pedagogues with longer service record (over 35 years). It was revealed that pedagogues with 10 to 25 years of experience paid much attention to the strategic, pro-social, creative and intellectual “vectors”. The overall level of self-regulation is the highest (over 70%) in the pedagogues with 10 to 25 and 25 to 35 years of experience. Conclusion. The level of identified psychological health characteristics is determined by pedagogical experience. This consideration should be taken into account, when working with older-age pedagogues, by creating due conditions for maintaining a properly high level of psychological health.

Learning signatures of decision making from many individuals playing the same game.

Human behavior is incredibly complex and the factors that drive decision making-from instinct, to strategy, to biases between individuals-often vary over multiple timescales. In this paper, we design a predictive framework that learns representations to encode an individual's 'behavioral style', i.e. long-term behavioral trends, while simultaneously predicting future actions and choices. The model explicitly separates representations into three latent spaces: the recent past space, the short-term space, and the long-term space where we hope to capture individual differences. To simultaneously extract both global and local variables from complex human behavior, our method combines a multi-scale temporal convolutional network with latent prediction tasks, where we encourage embeddings across the entire sequence, as well as subsets of the sequence, to be mapped to similar points in the latent space. We develop and apply our method to a large-scale behavioral dataset from 1,000 humans playing a 3-armed bandit task, and analyze what our model's resulting embeddings reveal about the human decision making process. In addition to predicting future choices, we show that our model can learn rich representations of human behavior over multiple timescales and provide signatures of differences in individuals.

Effects of phyllosilicate content on the slip behavior of fault gouge: Insights from room-temperature friction experiments on quartz–talc mixtures

Shallow slow slip events (SSEs) occur on the shallowest reaches of subduction megathrust faults. To investigate how phyllosilicate fraction in quartzo-feldspathic sediments influences the style of fault slip behavior, we conducted frictional sliding experiments on various binary mixtures of quartz and talc using a biaxial testing apparatus at room temperature, room humidity, sliding velocities of 2 or 0.66 μm/s, and a normal stress of 10 MPa. With increasing talc content, the steady state coefficient of friction decreases from 0.7 to 0.2 in association with a transition from velocity-weakening (VW) to velocity-strengthening (VS) behavior. For the gouges with 0–10 wt% talc, fault slip behavior, following velocity steps, transitions from regular stick slips via sustained oscillations to attenuated oscillations with talc content. The oscillations emerge only in a narrow range of talc contents (i.e., 4–10 wt%) at near velocity-neutral conditions. The observed transition is attributed to an increase in the stiffness ratio K = k/kc, where k is the elastic stiffness of the system and kc is the critical stiffness of the fault, although K is larger than 1 for both stick-slip and sustained-oscillation behaviors, and thereby the critical stiffness criterion is not satisfied. We also find that for unstable slip events, the smaller the stress drop magnitude, the slower the peak slip velocity. Our results suggest that mixed gouges containing VW and VS materials show velocity-neutral behavior and facilitate the nucleation of shallow SSEs, although finely tuned rate-and-state friction parameters are required to allow spontaneous slow slip.

Research of psycho-emotional states of pedagogical workers and applicants for higher education during the pandemic and war

The proposed study comprehensively analyzes the features of the cod, post-cod period and the period of full-scale invasion of the troops of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine. The material of the research was the study of the peculiarities of the organization of education at Uzhhorod National University. The impact of various traumatic stressors associated with COVID-19 and the effects of less severe comorbid stresses (anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder) on teachers and graduates are primarily described. In this context, the peculiarities of designing an effective educational space are emphasized. The problem of adaptation to distance learning at the psychological and social levels is singled out, in particular, the three most common variants of adaptive human behavior are analyzed and identified: homeostatic, hedonism and pragmatic. Factors of social and psychological adaptation of higher education seekers are analyzed, mainly with adaptation to the group, development of own style of behavior. The causes that lead to emotional tension, personal anxiety, including: constant feelings about the unfamiliar structure of learning (unclear social requirements, lack of clarity, certainty, clarity, irregularity of the school day, lack (irregularity) of daily knowledge control system, difficulty perceiving lecture teaching style and further handling of the material, the destruction of established attitudes during normal learning attitudes and habits) lead to increased emotional tension and the level of personal anxiety and the conditions under which social anxiety grows into social phobia. All the out lined changes have affected the social well-being and mental health of the subjects of the educational space. The mental state in which the participants of the educational space are, is the dominant emotional load that employees of all levels of education are forced to bear. This prompted us to turn our scientific interest to this area of research and further break down a number of recommendations for adaptive behavior during the pandemic and war.

The Evaluation of National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular disease and Stroke (NPCDCS) in Kashmir

Aim: To monitor and evaluate the NPCDCS programme and examining the infrastructure and human resource management of this programme Methodology: Secondary data was collected from NPCDCS Kashmir and analysis was done on the generated secondary data for FY April 2018 – March 2019, FY April 2019 – March 2020 and FY April 2020 – March 2021. Study population was the patients enrolled in the NPCDCS Programme during FY April 2018 – March 2019, FY April 2019 – March 2020 and FY April 2020 – March 2021 in Kashmir. Permission was taken from the NPCDCS administration along with ethical approval from the ethics committee. Evaluation of NPCDCS Organizational structure, Infrastructure including human resources was done by visiting the NCD cells of some the districts of Kashmir. Results: The study was done on 3 financial years i.e., 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21. The data presents the prevalence of Diabetes, Hypertension, CVD’s, Stroke and Cancers. The prevalence of diabetes and hypertension were increasing alarmingly in these 3 years. Counseling was going in higher rates till 2019-20 but there was a sudden drop in the rate of counseling sessions due to Covid 19 pandemic situation in the year 2020-21. Conclusion: The NPCDCS programme focused on awareness for behavioral and life style modifications. The infrastructure and human resource system is well developed. Many cases which couldn’t be reached out and were hidden were diagnosed by the help of camps and regular OPD’s at NCD cells. In a long run it will be very beneficial as the burden of diseases will be reduced to some extent. As seen in the data, the cancer detection is not as it is desired to be. The early screening for oral cancers in males and breast and cervical cancer in females should be achieved through awareness campaigns to make NPCDCS programme more successful.

The Administrator as a Stressor: A Study of the Administrative/Supervisory Behaviour of College Principals in Imo State, Nigeria.

This study focused on the relationship between the administrative behavior of college principals in Imo State, Nigeria and Teachers’ stress. This investigation was necessitated by the fact that high level of job stress has been linked to low level of productivity, and high death rate among college teachers in Imo State. In carrying out the investigation, a survey design was used for the study. The population of the study was made up of teachers in Imo State while 61 teachers constitute the sample size for the study. Structured questionnaire was used for collection of data for the analysis while the statistical methods adopted for the study were mean, standard deviation, simple percentages and t-test. The 0.05 level of level of significance was used for retaining or rejecting the three hypotheses formulated for the study. Findings of the study revealed that there is a significant relationship between principal’s administrative behaviour and teachers’ stress. Based on the above findings, the study recommends that school administrators such as the principals should take into cognizance their behavioral patterns and styles of leadership that would enhance staff morale and job satisfaction, thereby reducing teachers’ stress and improving good health.

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT IN A MULTINATIONAL TEAM (verbal communication in russian and english languages)

The paper addresses linguistic methods, techniques of linguodidactics relating the issues of conflict prevention, development of effective communication strategies, intercultural training, communicative competence building. Language training in cross-cultural environment requires adequate respond towards arising problems based on intercultural misunderstanding and disagreement. Certain aspects of communicative behaviour need mitigating, whereas integration of social, common cultural and other elements of communicative behaviour do not always sustain accordance in a team. The neutralization of communication environment should become a main approach in communication expressed in cliches. Standardized language environment is to resolve conflict factors, facilitate in adaptation of interlocuters, management and avoidance of conflicts.Existing cultural traditions of formal communication are important, yet impedimental in communication process. However, this process can be managed by the implementation of the program considering peculiarities of business cultures, their relevant communicative behaviour style and social hierarchy.

Does a mother's childbirth experience influence her perceptions of her baby's behaviour? A qualitative interview study.

Childbirth has become increasingly medicalised, which may impact on the mother's birth experience and her newborn infant's physiology and behaviour. Although associations have been found between a mother's subjective birth experience and her baby's temperament, there is limited qualitative evidence around how and why this may occur. This qualitative study aimed to explore mothers' childbirth and postnatal experiences, perceptions of their baby's early behavioural style, and whether they saw these as related. A qualitative semi-structured interview schedule collected rich in-depth data. Twenty-two healthy mothers over 18 years of age and with healthy infants aged 0-12 months born at term, were recruited from Southwest regions of England and Wales. Thematic analysis was performed on the data. Mothers experienced childbirth as a momentous physical and psychological process. However, they did not necessarily perceive the birth as affecting their baby's early behaviour or temperament. While some mothers drew a direct relationship, such as linking a straightforward birth to a calm infant, others did not make an explicit connection, especially those who experienced a challenging birth and postnatal period. Nevertheless, mothers who had a difficult or medicalised birth sometimes reported unsettled infant behaviour. It is possible that mothers who feel anxious or depressed after a challenging birth, or those without a good support network, may simply perceive their infant as more unsettled. Equally, mothers who have been well-supported and experienced an easier birth could be more likely to perceive their baby as easier to care for. Childbirth is a physical and psychological event that may affect mother-infant wellbeing and influence maternal perceptions of early infant temperament. The present findings add to prior evidence, reinforcing the importance of providing good physical and emotional support during and after childbirth to encourage positive mother-infant outcomes.

Emotional Regulation Underlies Gender Differences in Pathological Eating Behavior Styles of Bariatric Surgery Candidates

Almost a third of bariatric surgery patients present suboptimal weight loss or important weight regain in the first five postoperative years. While the reasons underlying this are not fully understood, it is known that pathological eating styles (such as emotional or binge eating) can thwart efforts to maintain weight loss. However, detailed characterization and understanding of these eating styles have yet to be achieved. In particular, research on gender differences in pathological eating styles and psychiatric symptoms before bariatric surgery is lacking. To characterize gender differences in eating styles and their association with clinical symptoms, we prospectively enrolled 110 bariatric surgery candidates, collecting eating styles and clinical scores. Women displayed a higher frequency of emotional eating as compared to men (x2 = 9.07, p = 0.003), while men showed a higher frequency of quantitative eating behavioral style (x2 = 4.58, p = 0.044). Binge eating style was associated with higher Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D), and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) scores (p < 0.05). Emotional eating style was associated with higher HAM-D and HAM-A scores (p < 0.05). The present findings highlight the importance of understanding the role of gender differences in emotion regulation processes involved in the development and maintenance of pathological eating styles in bariatric surgery candidates. This paves the way to gender- and symptoms-specific interventions on eating behaviors to improve surgery long-term outcomes.

Beyond Active/Passive: Using the Interpersonal Circumplex to Re-Conceptualize Victim Behavior During Violent Crime

ABSTRACT This study used the interpersonal circumplex (IPC) – a probabilistic model of human behavior during social interactions – to conceptualize victim behavior during physically assaultive crime (domestic violence, physical assault, and sexual assault). Using data from the Australian Database of Victimisation Experiences, 101 victim behaviors were identified across a sample of 150 victim narratives. Categorical Principal Components Analysis and Smallest Space Analysis found that victim behavior during physically assaultive crime aligned with the IPC’s four behavioral styles: dominance, submissive, hostility, and cooperation. These findings provide new opportunities to explore victim agency including how victims may influence the offender and situation.

Relationship Between Allied Health Student's Behavioral Style and Ideal Clinical Instructor Behaviors

Purpose: The focus of this research is to understand the relationship between students' primary DISC behavioral styles (dominant, influencing, steadiness, compliance) and their perception of ideal clinical instructor behaviors. A review of the literature supports the connection between the behaviors of the clinical instructor (CI) and the success of the allied health professional student (AHPS). Additionally, a body of research supports the connection between DISC behavioral styles and student success. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between AHPS primary DISC behavioral styles and their perception of the ideal CI behaviors. Methods: A total number of n=90 participants completed the Allied Health Professional Preceptor Assessment exploring ideal CI behaviors and the DISC assessment across the three disciplines of athletic training (14), exercises science (7), and physical therapy (69). Results: S (steadiness) scores had the highest frequency (53.3%), followed by I (influencing) (22.2%), then C (compliance) (13.3.7%), and lastly, D (dominant) (11.1%). Using regression modeling, the "D" model (p=0.01) and the "S" model (pConclusion:This study provides preliminary evidence for the DISC behavioral assessment as a tool to inform CIs in ways to engage AHPS effectively. The findings of this study provide applicable techniques for CIs mentoring students with "D," "S," and "C" primary behavioral styles. Further research is warranted to determine engagement strategies for "I" primary behavioral styles. By leveraging these findings, clinical education programs can provide CIs with simple behavioral techniques to best engage students based on the student's primary behavioral style.
