Teacher instructional characteristics and student motivation
Interest permeates every aspect of teaching and learning, fuelling enthusiasm, enhancing concentration, and promoting cognitive understanding. Despite its recognised significance, the relationship between interest and teachers’ instructional characteristics remains ambiguous. This study investigates how students’ perception of teacher characteristics (i.e., approachability, instructional clarity, and utility value support) is associated with cult…
Developing Social and Emotional Competence in Physical Education
Physical education is an important setting for developing students’ social and emotional competence. Yet research in physical education has largely taken a skill focused approach, giving limited attention to motivation and to the domain-specific characteristics of physical education that shape how competence is learned and sustained. Drawing on social and emotional competence scholarship and self-determination theory, we propose a domain-specific…
Classroom management and individual interest in physical education
Guided by self-determination theory, this study aimed to examine age-related developmental differences in the psychological pathways linking adolescents’ perceptions of teacher classroom management, specifically behavioral control and care, to their individual interest in physical education, mediated by basic need satisfaction. A total of 1006 Chinese students, including 634 seventh graders (mean age = 12.24; 53.5% male and 46.5% female) and 372 …
Association of chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease risk with all-cause mortality
Comprehensive strategies including lifestyle modifications, diet restrictions, and cardio-nephrology multidisciplinary treatment for mitigating CVD risk in CKD patients should focus on middle-aged people and early disease detection
Valuable yet costly
Although physical education (PE) potentially fosters holistic development across physical, cognitive, affective, and social domains, its unique physical and social demands can render it valuable yet costly. These costs, however, remain underexplored, limiting our understanding of their effects on motivation and impeding efforts to design effective curricula and teaching strategies. Grounded in situated expectancy-value theory, this study investig…
The influence of perceived teacher and peer support on student engagement in physical education of Chinese middle school students
Associations between pre-infection serum vitamin D concentrations and Omicron Covid-19 incidence, severity and reoccurrence in elderly individuals
Objective: Previous studies suggest a link between vitamin D status and COVID-19 susceptibility in hospitalised patients. This study aimed to investigate whether vitamin D concentrations in elderly individuals were associated with their susceptibility to Omicron COVID-19 incidence, the severity of the disease and the likelihood of reoccurrence during the era of the post-‘zero-COVID-19’ policies in China. Design: In this retrospective study, parti…
Growth trajectories and roles of expectancy, task value, and cost in middle-school physical education
This longitudinal investigation tracked the progression of students’ expectancy for success, task value, and perceived cost in the context of physical education throughout an academic year. The study involved 399 middle-school students from China, and data were collected at three distinct time points. Analysis using latent growth curve models revealed positive trajectories in both expectancy and task value, along with decreases in perceived cost.…
The prevalence and risk factors of work related musculoskeletal disorders among electronics manufacturing workers
The study indicates a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among the electronics manufacturing industry in China. Different personal and work factors are related to the occurrence of WMSD on different body parts. Preventive measures should be implemented based on the characteristics of WMSD in the electronic manufacturing industry. Furthermore, the training and intervention guidance of ergonomic hazards in the workplace need to be strengthened…

Explaining Individual Differences in Advantageous Inequity Aversion by Social-Affective Trait Dimensions and Family Environment
Humans are averse to both having less (i.e., disadvantageous inequity aversion [IA]) and having more than others (i.e., advantageous IA). However, the social-affective traits that drive individual differences in IA are not well understood. Here, by combining a modified dictator game and a computational model, we found in a sample of incarcerated adolescents ( N = 67) that callous-unemotional traits were specifically associated with low advantageo…
Physical condition, psychological status, and posttraumatic stress disorder among recovered Covid-19 subjects
The physical condition of individuals who contracted COVID-19 had a profound influence on mitigating the physical and psychological impact of the disease and the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Little attention has been focused on the influence of physical condition on PTSD among recovered COVID-19 subjects. This study explored the relationship between physical and psychological status and PTSD and the potential mechanisms. Ques…
What prevents us from taking low-carbon actions? A comprehensive review of influencing factors affecting low-carbon behaviors
Choosing a Production Joint Venture Partner
We study how a firm inside or outside an industry selects a partner among asymmetric firms to form a production joint venture (PJV), in which technology transfer takes place. We show that the partner selected under a two-part tariff contractis always (weakly) more efficient than the one selected under a first-price auction. Comparing these two schemes, we find that a two-part tariff contract can be superior for the most efficient incumbent firm o…
Policy solution and game analysis for addressing the challenge of developing public–private partnership energy project
Various developing countries have been promoting public–private partnership (PPP) infrastructure projects in recent years. Energy infrastructure project construction, which needs substantial capital investments, is a cornerstone of and supports economic development. A PPP-based energy infrastructure project is beneficial for alleviating developing countries’ financial burden and for facilitating the diversified development of the energy market. T…
Considering Physical Well-Being, Self-perceptions, and Support Variables in Understanding Youth Academic Achievement
The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between measures of students’ physical well-being and self-perception and their academic achievement. Specifically, we look at students’ social support for physical activity, physical activity perceptions, self-concept, self-efficacy, health behaviors, and cardiorespiratory fitness (as measured by the progressive aerobic cardiovascular endurance run [PACER] test). Students ( n = 697 fifth grad…
Academic and Psychosocial Outcomes of a Physical Activity Program With Fourth Graders
The purpose was to examine academic achievement, school attachment, and peer acceptance before and after a comprehensive school-based physical activity program (CSPAP) with 378 children in 12 fourth-grade classrooms across six schools in primarily low-socioeconomic status (SES) districts of a large Midwestern metropolitan area. Both personal and normative rate of academic achievement improvement metrics were used. Overall, all students showed per…

Neural substrates and social consequences of interpersonal gratitude
Voluntary help during a time of need fosters interpersonal gratitude, which has positive social and personal consequences such as improved social relationships, increased reciprocity, and decreased distress. In a behavioral and a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment, participants played a multiround interactive game where they received pain stimulation. An anonymous partner interacted with the participants and either intentiona…
Gender Differences in the Relationship Between Teacher Autonomy Support and Amotivation in Physical Education
The relationship between teacher burnout and student motivation
BackgroundTeacher burnout is regarded as a serious problem in school settings. To date, studies on teachers' stress and burnout have largely centred on teachers' own characteristics, socialization, and behaviours, but few have explored the connection between teachers' burnout and students' motivation via their own perceptions of teachers' behaviour and emotional well-being.AimsThis study adopted Maslach et al.'s (2001, Annu. Rev. Psychol., 52, 39…
Outside-school physical activity participation and motivation in physical education
BackgroundExperience in non-school contexts can shape and reshape students' motivation and mediate their learning in school. Outside-school physical activity may provide students with an extensive cognitive and affective foundation and influence their motivation in physical education. Although a trans-contextual effect of physical education has been explored, very little empirical research has examined the impact from outside-school context to ph…
