Emotion regulation and learning from academic failures
Kindergarten predictors of dyslexia pathways in Hebrew
While dyslexia is often considered a uniformly persistent condition, research has identified two additional developmental pathways: resolving and late-emerging dyslexia. Yet, most studies have focused on Western languages, and only a few have examined kindergarten predictors of these pathways, with morphological awareness largely overlooked. This five-year longitudinal study examined dyslexia pathways and their kindergarten predictors, including …
Integration of negative emotions, empathy, and support for conciliatory policies in intractable conflicts
293) to a neutral control condition. Our findings replicated the positive relations between IER, empathy, and support for conciliatory policies even when negative emotions were elicited. These findings are discussed in relation to prior research on emotion regulation in group contexts, including applications to conflict resolution
The Power to Flirt
Power in non-romantic contexts makes people confident in their ability to attract potential partners, increasing their mating motivation and the likelihood of acting on this motivation. Four studies investigated whether perceptions of power within romantic relationships would also activate mating goals, intensifying desires for alternative partners. In Studies 1 and 2, participants underwent power manipulation and then described a sexual fantasy …
Youth Exposed to Armed Conflict
Armed conflict poses a significant threat to the mental health of youth worldwide. This study focused on the role of teachers as protective agents fostering resilience among their students. The study examined the moderating effects of teachers' personal well-being and their efficacy in the school on relations between their students' armed conflict exposure and student psychiatric symptoms. Participants included 1260 students and their homeroom te…
They always disfavor me!”
Conditional regard defined as adolescents' perception that parents' affection hinges upon whether they meet parental expectations affects their skills to build stable and sustainable relationships. However, its role in sibling relationships remains unexplored. This study investigates how conditional regard relates to sibling competition, favoritism, and conflict in 201 teenage sibling dyads. Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Models showed t…
Prenatal beliefs regarding child development as predictors of toddler compliance
Based on Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2017), this study examined longitudinal predictions of two types of prenatal maternal beliefs about child development: (a) belief in coercion and external control and (b) belief in intensive monitoring. Based on laboratory observations of first-time mothers ( N = 305), maternal control and toddler noncompliance at age 2 years were examined in relation to each prenatal belief. A path analysis reveal…
Bedouin mothers' sense of authentic inner compass as a parenting resource
INTRODUCTION: Sense of authentic inner compass (AIC) is the feeling that one knows what is important to oneself because one has values, aspirations, and goals with which one deeply identifies. Past research demonstrated the benefits of AIC, but there is no published research on parental dispositions promoting youth AIC. To increase knowledge of this issue, we examined whether mothers' sense of AIC is associated with a corresponding sense of AIC i…
Parents' childbearing motivations, parenting, and child adjustment
Objective Guided by Self‐Determination Theory, the study explored how maternal and paternal prenatal childbearing motivations relate to toddlers' adjustment via parental competence and parenting style. Background Although considerable research shows consistent effects of parenting styles on child adjustment, why some parents adopt any specific style is unclear. To explore this, two broad types of childbearing motivations (autonomous and controlle…

Internship Not Hardship
Background: Job satisfaction is a key factor in organizational growth and success. Intern satisfaction, on the contrary, has not received much attention, despite its effect on all relevant players. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine factors affecting intern satisfaction in startup companies through the lens of the Job Characteristics Model (JCM) and additional work environment characteristics. Methodology/Approach: A total of 434 un…
Organizational support, legitimacy, and workplace outcomes
Perceived organizational support (POS) is considered a central factor in employees' work-related attitudes and behaviors. Drawing on the relational model of authority, we propose that perceived authority legitimacy, which reflects subordinates' identification with and acceptance of authority directives and power, may mediate the effect of POS on employees' work-related outcomes, including job satisfaction, affective commitment, organizational cit…
Sexual Desire Mediates the Relationship-Promoting Effects of Perceived Partner Mate Value
You should know me better
OBJECTIVE: We studied a recently conceptualized aspect of autonomy-support and suppression, not examined so far: Sensitivity to temperament dispositions. Based on self-determination theory, we hypothesized that, across cultures, disposition-frustrating decisions would have similar negative effects on adolescents' intrinsic motivation to participate in decision-related activities, and these negative effects would not be mitigated in collectivist-h…
Teachers’ Conditional Regard and Students’ Need Satisfaction and Agentic Engagement
Benefits of emotional integration and costs of emotional distancing
OBJECTIVE: Three studies explored the consequences of the self-determination theory conception of integrative emotion regulation (IER; Ryan & Deci, 2017), which involves an interested stance toward emotions. Emotional, physiological, and cognitive consequences of IER were compared to the consequences of emotional distancing (ED), in relation to a fear-eliciting film. METHOD: In Study 1, we manipulated emotion regulation by prompting students' (N …
You haven't been on my mind lately
Sexual desire between romantic partners tends to decrease over time. A decrease in frequency of dyadic fantasies and an increase in frequency of extradyadic fantasies are typical manifestations of this process. The present diary study adopted an attachment-theoretical perspective to better understand why some people are less likely to fantasize about their partners. Both members of 100 romantic couples completed measures of relationship-specific …
The association between conditional regard and relationship quality
Research on conditional positive regard ( CPR ) and conditional negative regard ( CNR ) has shown that these practices are associated with some maladaptive qualities of romantic relationships. The current study investigated the associations between CPR and CNR and romantic relationship satisfaction using a daily diary methodology. A multilevel analysis of a sample of 80 individuals revealed that both CPR and CNR were negatively linked to relation…

The Role of Unconditional Parental Regard in Autonomy‐Supportive Parenting
Two studies explored the role of parents’ unconditional positive regard (UCPR) as perceived by adolescents and young adults in promoting the effectiveness of specific parenting practices that may support offspring's academic autonomous motivation. Study 1 tested the hypothesis that UCPR predicts rationale‐giving and choice‐provision practices and, at the same time, moderates their relations with adolescents’ autonomous motivation. Study 2 replica…
Controlled by Love
Research on conditional positive regard (CPR) has shown that this seemingly benign practice has maladaptive correlates when used by parents. However, there is no research on the correlates of this practice in romantic relationships or on the processes mediating its effects. Building on self‐determination theory (Deci & Ryan, ), three studies tested the hypothesis that perceived CPR impairs relationship quality, partly because it undermines the fu…
Intimately connected
Sexual desire tends to subside gradually over time, with many couples failing to maintain desire in their long-term relationships. Three studies employed complementary methodologies to examine whether partner responsiveness, an intimacy-building behavior, could instill desire for one's partner. In Study 1, participants were led to believe that they would interact online with their partner. In reality, they interacted with either a responsive or a…
Integration of negative emotional experience versus suppression
Integrative emotion regulation is defined as the ability to experience negative emotions, explore their sources, and use this exploration for volitional regulation of behavior. Empirical research on integrative regulation is quite scarce and relies mainly on self-reports. The present research comprised 2 studies exploring the behavioral, emotional, and cognitive consequences of integrative emotion regulation and suppression of emotion, in relatio…
Infant reminders alter sympathetic reactivity and reduce couple hostility at the transition to parenthood
The transition to parenthood marks an important developmental stage in adult life, associated with unique challenges to the partners' conflict dialogue in the formation of the family unit. Utilizing a biobehavioral experimental design, we examined the potential positive effects of the infant on the couple's conflict discussion. One hundred forty new parents of 6-month-old infants engaged in a face-to-face marital conflict discussion, while sympat…

Prevention of school bullying
Background. This study examined students' perceptions of autonomy-supportive teaching (AST) and its relations to internalization of pro-social values and bullying in class.Aims. We hypothesized that: (1) teachers' AST, which involves provision of rationale and taking the student's perspective, would relate positively to students' identified internalization of considerateness towards classmates, and would relate negatively to external regulation (…

Directly controlling teacher behaviors as predictors of poor motivation and engagement in girls and boys
Interest as a Motivational Resource
Autonomous motivation for teaching
This study examined teachers' experience of autonomous motivation for teaching and its correlates in teachers and students. It was hypothesized that teachers would perceive various motivations posited by E. L. Deci and R. M. Ryan's (2000) self-determination theory as falling along a continuum of autonomous motivation for teaching. Autonomous motivation for teaching was predicted to be associated positively with teachers' sense of personal accompl…
