Mothers' Worries During Pregnancy: A Content Analysis of Reddit Posts     

Pamela D. Pilkington  Isabella Bedford-Dyer 《The Journal of perinatal education》2021,30(2):98

Qualitative investigations into maternal worries during pregnancy are limited. The aim of this study was to identify the content of women''s pregnancy-related worries by completing a content analysis of posts on Reddit. A total of 217 posts by 196 unique users were analyzed. Most worries related to infant factors (32.6%), individual factors (27.1%), and antenatal care factors, such as medical procedures (25.2%). The remaining worries related to situational factors (10.9%) and the partner relationship (4.3%). Although most fears related to fetal well-being, other concerns included problems with family members, women''s own mental health, and not being a “good mother.” These findings support calls for antenatal education to more adequately address women''s psychosocial concerns.  相似文献   

Examining the reciprocal relations of mathematics anxiety to quantitative reasoning and number knowledge in Chinese children     

《Contemporary educational psychology》2020

This study aimed to examine the longitudinal relations of mathematics anxiety to quantitative reasoning and number knowledge in Chinese children. Three hundred and sixteen 6-year-old Chinese children in Hong Kong participated in two waves of assessments, eight months apart. Cross-lagged panel analyses showed that prior quantitative reasoning and number knowledge predicted lower mathematics anxiety, even after the effects of gender, mothers’ educational levels, and general anxiety were taken into account. However, earlier mathematics anxiety did not predict later quantitative reasoning and number knowledge. Our findings were consistent with the Deficit Theory, which postulates that mathematics anxiety comes from poor mathematical competence but not vice versa. We also found a reciprocal association between quantitative reasoning and number knowledge, in which initial quantitative reasoning had a stronger prediction on later number knowledge. Taken together with previous research, this result highlights the importance of quantitative reasoning in children’s mathematics learning and its role in mathematics education.  相似文献   

Social and dimensional comparisons in math and verbal test anxiety: Within- and cross-domain relations with achievement and the mediating role of academic self-concept     

《Contemporary educational psychology》2017

The present study builds on two strands of research: (1) the recently established generalized internal/external frame of reference (GI/E) model assuming social (comparing one’s achievement in one domain with the achievement of one’s peers in the same domain) and dimensional (comparing one’s achievement in one domain with one’s achievement in another domain) comparison processes in the formation of motivational constructs and self-perceptions, and (2) research on domain-specific facets of test anxiety. Using a sample of 5135 German seventh grade students, it is tested whether and how both comparison processes are involved in the formation of domain-specific facets of test anxiety when considering both the emotionality and worry components of test anxiety, and whether the relation between achievement and test anxiety is mediated through academic self-concept. When applying the GI/E model to test anxiety, the results showed negative relations between achievement and test anxiety within math and verbal (German) domains, but partially positive relations across domains. This pattern of relations emerged for both the worry and emotionality components while stronger achievement relations were found for worry. These findings indicate that dimensional achievement comparison processes operate in the formation of domain-specific test anxiety. Domain-specific academic self-concepts were found to mediate the relations between achievement and test anxiety within and across domains, the mediation being stronger for worry than for emotionality as an outcome. Boys and girls did not differ regarding direct and indirect relations among constructs. Implications for research on dimensional comparison processes and test anxiety are discussed.  相似文献   

Mindfulness,coping self-efficacy and foreign language anxiety: a mediation analysis     

Nasser Fallah 《教育心理学》2017,37(6):745-756

This study sought to explore the relationship between mindfulness, coping self-efficacy (CSE) and foreign language anxiety (FLA) among a sample of 295 Iranian English as a foreign language (EFL) learners. Further, the capacity of CSE in mediating the relationship between mindfulness and FLA was tested. The participants were administered self-reported questionnaires. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was utilised. The results of SEM analysis showed that higher levels of mindfulness were associated with lower levels of FLA and greater CSE. In addition, it was found that CSE could partially mediate the relationship between mindfulness and FLA. Implications are discussed.  相似文献   

“Crossing the Rubicon”: Understanding Chinese EFL students’ volitional process underlying in-class participation with the theory of planned behaviour     

Davide Girardelli  Vijay K. Patel  Janine Martins-Shannon 《Educational Research and Evaluation》2017,23(3-4):119-137

An extended model based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) was used to study Chinese English as a foreign language (EFL) students’ in-class participation. The model included the core TPB constructs (behavioural intentions, attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control/self-efficacy) and 2 additional constructs (foreign language classroom anxiety and face-saving) frequently discussed in the literature about Chinese EFL classroom dynamics. A total of 199 Chinese students enrolled in a Sino-American international branch campus were surveyed. The results of a partial least squares (PLS) path modelling analysis revealed that attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control/self-efficacy, and face-saving explained 46% of the variance in intentions to participate in English in class. Perceived behavioural control/self-efficacy fully mediated the negative indirect effect of foreign language classroom anxiety on intentions. Pedagogical implications and future directions are discussed for implementation purposes.  相似文献   

跨世纪文论话语的两难处境与重建吁求——解读《冲突与重建》的三个视点     

赵崇璧  龚举善 《郧阳师范高等专科学校学报》2007,27(1):39-44

中国现代文论的重建步履经过近一个世纪的积淀已日显成熟和厚重,但依然存在许多困难.其间,不乏东方与西方、传统与现代、全球化与本土化等等的冲突与两难抉择.而且,后现代主义带来的多元共生思潮和读图时代的迅猛君临,几乎颠覆了既有的话语方式与学科体系,我们确实面临着新的挑战.如何超越困境、重建文论话语体系,进而建立拥有当代发言权和世界影响力的具有中国特色的文艺理论学派?张荣翼新著《冲突与重建》从文论视野、本体辨认与建设立场等方面进行了跨世纪反思与重构.这或许正是我们应该努力的方向.  相似文献

王满新  王建强 《海南师范大学学报(社会科学版)》2003,16(6):128-131

社会焦虑是人际交往中常见的心理现象,社会焦虑的症状表现在思维、行为、身体及情感等方面,过度的社会焦虑会影响人的正常工作、生活、交往、身心健康及自身潜能的发挥。造成社会焦虑的因素主要有：遗传、成长背景、社会环境等。面对社会焦虑,主体应通过改变思维模式和行为方式,降低自我意识,强化主动意识,建立自信心,学会说“不”等策略,进行自我调适,以便提高生活质量和工作效率。  相似文献   

儿童焦虑与父母教养方式关系的调节变量研究          下载免费PDF全文

周晶 《宁波大学学报(教育科学版)》2021,(1):127-132

研究综合了来自中国大陆18570名3-12岁儿童的焦虑与父母教养方式相关的30项研究的数据,通过元分析的方法考查了二者相关的强度,并分析影响相关强度的因素。从总体上来说,儿童焦虑与父母教养方式存在弱相关;父母教养方式类型、儿童年龄、父母性别会对二者关系产生调节作用。建议在教养儿童过程中要采用正向的教养方式,要给予年幼儿童充分的独立自主的权利和自由,鼓励父亲参与教养,这有利于降低儿童的焦虑水平。  相似文献

正念教育对初三学生考试焦虑影响的实证研究——以厦门市某中学为例     

徐恩秀 《集美大学学报(教育科学版》2021,(2):14-19,25

考试焦虑是当前教育环境下较普遍的心理问题,不利于学生身心健康和学业成绩进步。研究旨在探讨正念教育对考试焦虑的影响,分前后两期:前期研究,对厦门市271名5至9年级学生的正念水平与考试焦虑水平进行了测量,测量结果显示二者有显著的相关性;后期研究,在厦门市某中学初三年级进行了为期4周的正念教育实验,结果表明,相比控制组,实验组在实验前后正念水平显著提高,考试焦虑水平显著下降,可见,正念教育能有效降低学生的考试焦虑水平,有助于学生以良好心理状态应考。因此,在学业压力逐渐增加的背景下,学校可以适当引入正念教育,促进青少年心理健康发展。  相似文献
