Download or read book The Mediating Role of Flow in the Relation Between Personality Traits and Performance written by Alexandra Wagner and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a number of studies which have investigated the relationship between academic performance and the Big Five personality traits (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism), however, the findings in existing research are inconsistent and it seems academic performance may depend at least partially on factors besides just personality. There seems to be something missing or unaccounted for when trying to describe how personality can affect academic performance. The present study suggests the gap between academic performance and personality traits might be explained by theories of flow. Multiple regression and mediation analyses were conducted with data from 56 first year bachelor students from the University of St. Gallen. The data was used to build an integrated model exploring the relationship between personality traits, academic performance and flow (an enhanced state of concentration and complete absorption). Results revealed that certain personality traits like conscientiousness and neuroticism predict academic performance more clearly than others, and the same traits that help to predict academic performance are more conducive to entering a state of flow. Moreover, the findings revealed that flow plays a crucial mediating role in the relationship between the before mentioned personality traits and academic performance. The study therefore sheds light on the key role that individual student personalities play in educational settings, while also revealing that personality traits alone do not ensure good academic performance. In fact, the results of the present study emphasize the importance of creating a learning environment conducive to flow.

Download or read book The Effects of Personality Hardiness on Interpreting Performance written by Xing Xing and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds new light on personality dispositions research into interpreter performance, injecting fresh impetus for a new research agenda designed to further our understanding of hardiness–performance linkages in interpreters. Interpreters are made not born (Mackintosh, 1999: 67), i.e., it is generally assumed that everyone has the potential to become an interpreter, given proper training. Nonetheless, time constraints and financial limitations make it advisable to select applicants who need the least training. Aptitude testing for interpreting, with a purpose to admitting the most promising candidates, has thus become not only a practical necessity for institutions but also a central issue among interpreting researchers. The book presents a literature review and empirical survey, which reveal, e.g., that aptitude testing for interpreting attaches great importance to cognitive aptitude. In contrast, non-cognitive attributes (personality in particular), while also considered important, are seldom measured, due to their complex structure and the lack of scientific measurement tools. Bearing this gap in mind, the book focuses on research into personality traits in aptitude testing for interpreting, with an aim to expanding the objective means of testing candidates for the requisite knowledge and skills. It is devoted to an empirical investigation into the effects of personality hardiness on interpreting performance, with interpreting anxiety and self-efficacy as two intermediates. To this end, a quantitative method (questionnaire survey) and a qualitative in-depth interview were used with 149 Chinese student interpreters at postgraduate level. The results indicate that personality hardiness is a valuable trait for student interpreters. By systematically presenting the effects of personality hardiness on interpreting performance, the book offers both theoretical and empirical stepping stones to understanding the position of personality hardiness in aptitude testing for interpreting, providing stakeholders with valuable insights into and blueprints for selecting the most teachable candidates for interpreting training programs.

Download or read book How to Enhance Learning Efficiency When Online Learning is Popular and Indispensable Theory Research and Practice written by Rong Lian and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-07-17 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Online learning has become more and more common globally, whether for comfort, adapting to work hours or just having the freedom to study from anywhere. And now under the coronavirus pandemic, as people are having to stay at home, it has become more important than ever. Although the popularity of wireless network and portable smart device makes it possible for people to acquire and learn knowledge anytime and anywhere, it does not necessarily mean an increased learning performance. Relevant research in cognitive science has revealed possible limitations in online learning. For example, the knowledge acquired through online learning tends to be fragmented and lacks guidance for integrated thinking among different subjects, which makes it difficult for learners to form a systematic knowledge structure. Learners may experience cognitive overload, metacognitive illusion and low learning efficiency in self-regulated learning. It follows that, in the post COVID-19 era, online learning puts forward new requirements and challenges to the contemporary students, not only to their learning strategies but positive character traits in learning. Most of the current learning theories were developed in the early 20th century and may not fit in well with the current situation, then possibly leading to inefficient learning and increased learning burden. Therefore, it is necessary and important to reexplore the influencing factors and mechanisms that affect the learning efficiency of students at all levels nowadays, based on which we could construct a theoretical model of efficient learning model.
Download or read book Stress and Anxiety written by Kathleen A. Moore and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present this collection of peer-reviewed papers covering a contemporary exploration of old and new concepts in the area of stress, anxiety, and coping. The papers include a consideration of the age-old questions concerning maths and test anxiety and the factors which predict or mediate these to a theoretical discussion of what is stress and how do we measure it. Several papers focus on stress and coping in applied settings, such as among patients with chronic disease, panic disorder, and also in those who play sport. Further papers are devoted to stress and coping in educational and academic settings and examine factors which contribute to students' learning as well as those which influence teachers' occupational stress. The recent emphasis by positive psychologists on resilience as well as coping has also featured here with chapters looking at their contributions to psychological health. However, the question is posed as to whether resilience and coping are cut from the same cloth.

Download or read book Rethinking College Student Retention written by John M. Braxton and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on studies funded by the Lumina Foundation, the nation's largest private foundation focused solely on increasing Americans' success in higher education, the authors revise current theories of college student departure, including Tinto's, making the important distinction between residential and commuter colleges and universities, and thereby taking into account the role of the external environment and the characteristics of social communities in student departure and retention. A unique feature of the authors' approach is that they also consider the role that the various characteristics of different states play in degree completion and first-year persistence. First-year college student retention and degree completion is a multi-layered, multi-dimensional problem, and the book's recommendations for state- and institutional-level policy and practice will help policy-makers and planners at all levels as well as anyone concerned with institutional retention rates—and helping students reach their maximum potential for success—understand the complexities of the issue and develop policies and initiatives to increase student persistence.
