In this article, Herbert W. Marsh and Sabina Kleitman examine the effects of participation in extracurricular school activities (ESAs) on grade-twelve postsecondary outcomes (e.g., grades, coursework selection, homework, educational occupational aspirations, self-esteem, freedom from substance abuse,number university applications, subsequent college enrollment, highest level). Their analyses are grounded three theoretical models: threshold model, identification/commitment social inequality...
Participation in high school sports had positive effects on many Grade 12 and postsecondary outcomes (e.g., grades, coursework selection, homework, educational occupational aspirations, self-esteem, university applications, subsequent college enrollment, eventual attainment) after controlling background variables parallel from Grades 8 10 a large, nationally representative, 6-year longitudinal study. In contrast to Zero-Sum Threshold Models , these generalized across academic nonacademic...
Generally, self-assessment of accuracy in the cognitive domain produces overconfidence, whereas visual perceptual judgments results underconfidence. Despite contrary empirical evidence, models attempting to explain those phenomena, individual differences have often been disregarded. The authors report on 2 studies which that shortcoming was addressed. In Experiment 1, participants (N= 520) completed a large number cognitive-ability tests. Results indicated provide meaningful source...
Personality is an established domain of research in psychology, and individual differences various traits are linked to a variety real-life outcomes behaviours. detection intricate task that typically requires humans fill out lengthy questionnaires assessing specific personality traits. The this, however, may be unreliable or biased if the respondents do not fully understand willing honestly answer questions. To this end, we propose framework for objective leverages humans' physiological...
Tertiary study presents students with a number of pressures and challenges. Thus, mental resilience plays key role in students’ well-being performance. Resilience research has moved away from conceptualising as trait towards studying process by which resources protect against the negative impact stressors to produce positive outcomes. However, there is lack academic domain examining mechanisms underlying this process. This addressed gap range personal their interaction coping responses...
This study showed that working during high school had negative effects on 15 of 23 Grade 12 and postsecondary outcomes such as achievement, course-work selection, educational occupational aspirations, college attendance. These were found with control for background variables parallel from Grades 8 10 based the 8-year (four-wave), nationally representative National Education Longitudinal Survey 1988. The only benefit was a reduction in unemployment, but even this effect nonlinear. In case...
Abstract This study examines critical aspects of both the ecological and person‐oriented accounts observed biases in confidence judgements on tests cognitive abilities. These reflect metacognitive processes involved test‐taking. According to approach, poor realism is due nature items included general knowledge (test‐driven biases). The however, argues that may be a self‐monitoring trait. present employed ‘de‐biasing’ procedure proposed by Juslin ( 1994 ) for selection test items, used newly...
Solution-focused coaching and solution-focused therapy are strengths-based approaches which emphasize people's resources resilience how these can be used in the pursuit of purposeful, positive change. The Inventory (SFI) is a 12-item scale with three subscales: Problem Disengagement, Goal Orientation Resource Activation. Three studies this article provide support for validity SFI as measure thinking. negatively correlated psychopathology positively measures well-being, perspective taking....
Summary Performance on many decision‐making tasks is underpinned by metacognitive monitoring, cognitive abilities, and executive functioning. Fatigue‐inducing conditions, such as sleep loss, compromise these factors, leading to decline in decision performance. Using a 40‐hr deprivation protocol, we examined factors the resulting Thirteen Australian Army male volunteers (aged 20–30 years) were tested at multiple time points psychomotor vigilance, inhibitory control, task switching, working...
Introduction The ability to perform optimally under pressure is critical across many occupations, including the military, first responders, and competitive sport. Despite recognition that such performance depends on a range of cognitive factors, how common these factors are domains remains unclear. current study sought integrate existing knowledge in field form transdisciplinary expert consensus mechanisms underlie pressure. Methods International experts were recruited from four [(i)...
Phishing email is one of the biggest risks to online information security due its ability exploit human trust and naivety. Prior research has examined whether some people are more susceptible phishing than others what characteristics may predict this susceptibility. Given that there no standardised measures or methodologies detect susceptibility, results have conflicted. To address issue, current study created a 40-item detection task measure both cognitive behavioural indicators...
In this paper, we investigate whether individual differences in performance on heuristic and biases tasks can be explained by cognitive abilities, monitoring confidence control thresholds. Current theories explain these the ability to detect errors override automatic but biased judgements, deliberative abilities that help construct correct response. Here retain disentangle error detection, proposing lower higher thresholds promote checking. Participants (N = 250) completed assessing their...
Abstract Decision making is the process by which actions are constructed and initiated. Across many research streams, this can be explained in terms of three broad cognitive processes: abilities that construct judgements potential courses action, interacting monitoring control processes determine when to initiate them as behaviour. The aim was investigate generality individual differences these processes, their power predict patterns decision behaviour identified our previous research....
COVID-19 booster vaccinations have been recommended as a primary line of defence against serious illness and hospitalisation. This study identifies characterises distinct profiles attitudes towards vaccination, particularly the willingness to get dose. A sample 582 adults from Australia completed an online survey capturing COVID-related behaviours, beliefs range sociodemographic, psychological, political, social cultural variables. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) identified three subgroups:...
Persistent calls for school-based education about stuttering necessitate a better understanding of peer attitudes toward children who stutter and means to measure outcomes such educational interventions. Langevin Hagler in 2004 developed the Peer Attitudes Toward Children Stutter scale (PATCS) address these needs gave preliminary evidence reliability construct validity.To examine further psychometric properties PATCS negativity attitudes.PATCS was administered 760 Canadian grades 3-6....
