Unravelling perceptions of teacher effectiveness for students with disabilities in higher education: Do we make the grade?
The increasing participation of students with disabilities in higher education (HE) has brought renewed focus on the role of teachers in promoting inclusive learning environments. Although the concept of teacher effectiveness is widely discussed, much of the existing literature is based on subjective accounts rather than objective assessments. This scoping review synthesises empirical research on teachers’ and students’ perceptions of teacher eff…
Exploring Traditional and Cyberbullying Profiles in Omani Adolescents: Differences in Internalizing/Externalizing Symptoms, Prosocial Behaviors, and Academic Performance
In the digital age, adolescents spend considerable time online, heightening their exposure to both cyberbullying and traditional bullying. However, few studies have investigated both forms of victimization simultaneously, particularly regarding their impact on adolescents in Middle Eastern countries such as Oman. This study used latent profile analysis to identify victimization profiles based on indicators of verbal, social, physical, and cyberbu…
Adolescent Social Media Use and Depression: A Person-Centered Approach
Many previous studies have investigated the effects of social media use (SMU), including both general SMU and specific types of SMU (e.g., active and passive SMU), on adolescents' depression. However, very few of these studies have employed a person-centered approach. To address this gap, this study conducted a latent profile analysis using five SMU indicators (i.e., problematic SMU, SMU intensity, active SMU, passive SMU, and nighttime SMU) to i…
Parental rejection and risk of muscle dysmorphia in Italian male adolescents: The mediating role of disconnection and rejection-related early maladaptive schemas
Being kicked out of a WhatsApp group: Frequency and association with adolescents' psychosocial well-being and School Achievement
In the era of the mobile Internet, online groups, which often serve as a primary form of communication and socialization and provide support within personal networks, have become an important cyberspace for adolescents. While the prevalence of being kicked out from online groups is relatively high, the influence of such online exclusion and its underlying mechanisms have been less studied. This study examined the relationship between being kicked…
Resilience and psychological distress in the transition to university: The mediating role of emotion regulation
Young adults face numerous challenges during their first year of university, which is considered by various researchers to be a time of potential threat and acute stress. These challenges were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in disruption of old learning and social structures that make it all the more difficult to adapt. The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between resilience, emotion regulation, a…
Can orange colour facilitate the processing of happiness? An exploration study on happiness metaphor
Colour is a ubiquitous perceptual stimulus, and theoretical models of colour and psychological functioning posit that colour plays a key role in influencing the behaviour and mental function of a person. One investigation and two experiments investigated the colour metaphor representation of happiness concepts and the mapping mode of the colour metaphor of happiness concepts. A questionnaire was conducted to explore the relationship between colou…
Social Media Use Profiles and Well-Being: A Cross-Cultural Study Between Chinese and Italian Emerging Adults
Most research on social media use (SMU) and well-being employs a variable-centered approach within a single culture. This study aims to (1) identify SMU subgroups using multiple indicators (i.e., problematic SMU, SMU intensity, active SMU, passive SMU and nighttime SMU) among emerging adults; (2) examine the effects of different SMU patterns on social and mental well-being; and (3) explore cultural differences in SMU subgroups and well-being betw…
The influence of resilience and future orientation on academic achievement during the transition to high school: The mediating role of social support
This study applies Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological systems theory to analyse how social support impacts resilience, future outlook, and academic performance during high school transition. Self-report questionnaires were completed by 958 high school students (54.5% female) ages 13–1 (M = 13.72, SD = 0.47). After descriptive and correlational analyses, path analysis explored the mediating function of general social support and its specific manifesta…
Students' transition into higher education: The role of self‐efficacy, regulation strategies, and academic achievements
Transition into higher education (HE) has received increased interest in recent years, since it represents a challenging period for students. The aim of this study was to further understand the associations between self‐efficacy, academic achievements, and regulation in first‐year university students during their transition into HE. The convenience sample consisted of 374 first‐year university students (230 females, 61.5%), aged from 18 to 33 ( M…
Social relationships and social media addiction among adolescents: Variable-centered and person-centered approaches
Social media addiction (SMA) among adolescents is associated with many maladaptive developmental outcomes and thus has been a concern in many countries. Guided by the bioecological systems theory and the self-determination theory, this study examined the associations between social relationships (i.e., parent-adolescent, teacher-student, and peer relationships) and SMA among adolescents, as well as the underlying mechanisms. Valid participants we…
A cross-cultural comparison of teacher-student relationship quality in Chinese and Italian teachers and students
Studies comparing teacher-student relationships between Eastern and Western countries are relatively rare. This study compared the affective qualities of teacher-student relationships between Eastern (i.e., China) and Western (i.e., Italy) countries to explore the measurement invariance, latent mean differences, and cultural differences in reporters' (teachers and students) agreement levels. An Italian sample of 31 teachers and 1647 students (46.…
Psychometric Properties of the Chinese Version of the Highly Sensitive Child Scale Across Age Groups, Gender, and Informants
Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) is theorized to be a fundamental trait capturing children’s general sensitivity to the environment. Yet, scientific knowledge of SPS is mostly based on findings from Western cultures and few translated measures exist to assess children’s SPS outside of Western countries. Therefore, we developed the Chinese Highly Sensitive Child (HSC) scale. In Study 1, we investigated the scale’s psychometric properties for b…
Social Media Addiction and Aggressive Behaviors in Early Adolescents: The Mediating Role of Nighttime Social Media Use and Sleep Quality
Social media addiction (SMA) is considered a risk factor for aggressive behaviors in adolescents, while its underlying mechanisms remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the possible mediating roles of nighttime social media use and sleep quality in the relationship between SMA and aggressive behaviors. A sample of 773 Italian secondary school students (49.9% female, age range = 11–15 years) completed a self-report questionnaire that incl…
Daytime Sleepiness and Prosocial Behaviors in Kindergarten: The Mediating Role of Student-Teacher Relationships Quality

Participants included 60 teachers aged from 23 to 62 ( M = 47.9, SD = 9.73) in Italy who comple…
