Manganese is an essential nutrient, but in excess it can be a potent neurotoxicant. Despite the common occurrence of manganese groundwater, risks associated with this source exposure are largely unknown.Our first aim was to assess relations between from drinking water and children's intelligence quotient (IQ). Second, we examined exposures consumption diet hair concentration.This cross-sectional study included 362 children 6-13 years age living communities supplied by groundwater....
The first objective of this study was to examine whether a relationship exists between types goal orientation, self‐regulatory processes and school performance the second how students' self‐regulation academic differ according their profiles resulting from combining learning goals orientation. A total 702 college students (463 females 239 males) administered questionnaire assessing orientation toward goals, reported strategies for studying. Results showed that both males there exist...
Recent research (Vallerand et al., 2003) has supported the existence of two types passion for activities: a harmonious and an obsessive passion. The purpose this investigation was to study processes likely lead development Three studies using correlational short-term longitudinal designs with varied populations ranging from beginners experts reveal that identification activity, activity specialization, parents' valuation, autonomy support predict Furthermore, results show children teenagers...
Background: Manganese neurotoxicity is well documented in individuals occupationally exposed to airborne particulates, but few data are available on risks from drinking-water exposure.Objective: We examined associations of exposure concentrations manganese water and hair with memory, attention, motor function, parent- teacher-reported hyperactive behaviors.Methods: recruited 375 children measured home tap (MnW) (MnH). estimated intake ingestion. Using structural equation modeling, we between...
Children's perceived competence and intrinsic motivation are assumed to be very high at the outset of schooling. However, how they change relate each other academic achievement across early schooling years remain open question.This 3-year longitudinal study was aimed examining following questions. Do children's about reading mathematics first 3 schooling? their differ according domains? in domain?A total 115 elementary schoolchildren (63 boys 52 girls) were examined grade (mean age = 84,5...
Past research has referred to either the concepts of self-regulation or deliberate practice explain relationships between learning strategies and musical achievement performance. In addition, even though most scholars agree that formal time plays an important role in achievement, empirical investigations have failed show consistent associations achievement. The aim this article is suggest integrative framework which self-regulation, are simultaneously taken into account prediction framework,...
From the contextual perspective, researchers argue that relevance and weight of motivational variables students' functioning vary depending on different dimensions related to individual, cultural or situational characteristics. The first objective this study examined contention by comparing self-perceptions competence, learning goals judgments usefulness school subjects as determinants high commitment achievement according their assignment abilities. second was compare how these academic...
It is widely admitted that low self‐efficacy has a detrimental impact on the functioning and performance of person mainly concerned with goals but no when learning (Dweck, 1986 ). However, results from both correlational experimental studies are divergent. Since these examined very few indicators participants' cognitive functioning, they may have failed to detect those aspects could be more vulnerable negative combination self‐efficacy. Another concern lack most clearly distinguish type goal...
Despite recent calls for more peer support initiatives aimed at promoting mental health in postsecondary institutions, those remain scarce. In this study, a multisite randomized controlled trial was designed to assess the effect of an online intervention based on acceptance and commitment therapy using school indicators. Undergraduate students were recruited three Canadian universities randomly assigned (n = 54) or wait-list control group 53). Compared participants, who took part program...
Although the evidence suggesting a positive relationship between mindfulness and wellbeing is rapidly accumulating, mechanisms by which this operates remain unclear.This study explored mindfulness, selfregulatory process, namely personal goal setting.It was hypothesized that people reporting higher levels of would strive for goals having greater degree autonomy, in turn have beneficial impact on their wellbeing.University students (n = 114) completed questionnaires aimed at assessing level...
Background . It is now widely recognised that student's self‐perceptions of competence have an effect on their behaviours and learning. Previous studies shown children only gradually develop the ability to evaluate accurately own competence. One possible explanation for this younger not reached a level cognitive development required perform such evaluations. Aims The objective these two was examine hypothesis at higher levels should be more accurate in self‐appraisal than same age lower...
It is well established that children's self-evaluation bias of competence related to the quality parent-child emotional relationship. Such biases are linked academic functioning and achievement. Links have also been between relationship functioning. No study has yet explored how effects with their parents combine explain functioning.The first goal was examine whether parental support reported by both children competence. The second relationships parents' reports support, as measured...
