This study developed and validated shortened versions of the Tolerance of Surroundings Scale (8 items) and the Autonomy Scale (9 or 12 items) using data from 2,526 Japanese participants, confirming their acceptable psychometric properties for efficient use in large-scale surveys and routine assessments where prioritizing efficiency over precision is necessary.
This participatory study employs peer listening and ripple mapping to demonstrate how individual contributions within UK grassroots environmental collectives generate complex, non-linear social and ecological impacts through relational, creative, and adaptive capacities.
Through a qualitative framework analysis of over 100 interviews in Plymouth, this study identifies five interconnected domains—opportunities to connect, sense of place, access to green and blue space, accessibility, and trust in governance—that collectively shape community wellbeing, underscoring the need for a systems-based, place-sensitive approach to address structural barriers and reduce inequalities.
This exploratory study of 19 online teachers reveals that while both Zoom and Google Meet are effective virtualization tools, they elicit distinct communicative perceptions—Google Meet fostering greater clarity and confidence, while Zoom better supports student expression and role transformation—despite shared challenges like technical interruptions and the loss of non-verbal cues.
Using quantile regression on PISA 2022 data from Uzbekistan, this study reveals that teacher support and school belonging yield the greatest mathematics achievement gains for the lowest-performing students, suggesting that improving school climate is an equity-enhancing strategy that specifically targets the country's widespread proficiency crisis.
Using PISA 2022 data from Uzbekistan, this study employs multilevel modeling to demonstrate that while various student and school factors influence mathematics achievement, inadequately qualified teaching staff is the only consistent negative predictor, with its detrimental impact being 3.4 times more severe in rural schools than in urban ones.
This systematic literature review analyzes 99 empirical studies to identify the multidimensional adaptation experiences, significant sociocultural and academic challenges, and necessary institutional support strategies for international students in Chinese universities, concluding that continuous, holistic support systems are essential for their successful adjustment.
This study, combining a systematic review and a Dutch pilot program, concludes that unannounced school inspections do not yield significantly different quality assessments than announced ones, suggesting their effectiveness depends on specific supervisory goals rather than a universal advantage.
This study reveals that among college students, rumination partially mediates the negative relationship between social support and depression, while gender moderates this direct pathway, with females being more vulnerable to depression when social support is low.
This randomized controlled trial demonstrates that a 10-week school-based mindfulness program effectively reduces internalizing problems and perceived stress while enhancing trait mindfulness and self-compassion in Chinese rural left-behind children, with the intervention's benefits mediated by improvements in self-compassion and stress reduction.
