Exploring Teachers' Professional Identity Profiles in China
This study examined the heterogeneity of professional identity among Chinese teachers and estimated the predictive effects of demographic and psychological factors on professional identity profiles based on the self‐determination theory (SDT). Data were collected from 404 teachers in mainland China and analysed using unconditional and conditional latent profile analyses. Three professional identity profiles were identified: engaged teachers, invo…
Consumer Engagement in Chronic Conditions Research
BACKGROUND: Consumer engagement ensures that health research reflects lived experiences and generates outcomes relevant to those most affected. However, frameworks guiding engagement in research about chronic conditions remain limited and often lack theoretical grounding. OBJECTIVE: To develop an integrated, evidence-based framework to support consumer engagement in research about chronic conditions. METHODS: We integrated findings from (1) a sco…

How expressive communication enhances intercultural sensitivity in Chinese undergraduates
Investigating the Effect of Gratitude on the Relationship Between Parenting and Grit
Grit denotes an individual's passion and perseverance to accomplish a long‐term goal despite obstacles and challenges. It has been consistently supported by its beneficial effect in promoting students’ educational, developmental, and psychological outcomes. Yet less is known about how to shape and foster grit from parents’ perspectives and the mechanism underlying this process. To fill this gap, we adopted a sociocultural view of grit and conduct…
A Meta-analysis of the relationship between growth mindset and grit
The ‘Monster’ looming on the horizon? Research on, and understanding of, Nato in Chinese IR literature
Largely due to China-related rhetoric at recent NATO summits, the NATO–China relationship has become a relevant topic in international relations. Apart from sporadic official responses in China, however, the discussion is mostly taking place in the West. This study contends that Chinese IR scholarship may be an understudied but valuable source for understanding the Chinese public debate on NATO. Through a bibliometric analysis of Chinese scholarl…
Making Fun of Foreign Leaders in the Chinese Cyberspace
Growing up in an era of rapid socioeconomic development, China’s younger population is viewed by older generations and political theorists as “somewhat paradoxical” in that they are active and skillful in self-expression but apparently accommodative of the prevailing political authoritarianism. This paper presents a case study of how young Chinese internet users draw on their knowledge of Chinese dynastic history to comment on U.S. politics. We q…
What really matters? Comparing parents’ and adolescents’ perceptions of parental meta-emotion philosophy as predictors of adolescents’ positive mental health
Are Emotional Labor Strategies Good or Bad for Work Engagement Among Chinese Preschool Teachers? The Mediating Role of Teacher Efficacy and Grit
Teacher work engagement is critical for work performance and child development, yet there is a limited understanding of how it is shaped from the perspective of teachers’ emotion. Based on the job demand-resource model, this study tested the relationship between emotional labor strategies, teacher efficacy, grit, and work engagement. Research Findings: Through structural equation modeling, self-reports of 647 Chinese preschool teachers revealed t…
Patterns of pediatric and adolescent female genital inflammation in China

Development and application of the R.I.S.E. model (relevance, impact, significance and excellence) in higher education in Macau
Purpose The increasing societal requirement requests higher education institutions to be more responsive to socioeconomic needs and new governmental demands. This study aims to present a self-developed multidimensional quality assurance and assessment model for higher education institutions – R.I.S.E model (relevance, impact, significance and excellence) – as a tool for quality assessment in higher education institutions. Design/methodology/appro…
Tracking public opinion about online education over Covid-19 in China
An Examination of the Conceptual Structure of Long-Term Goal Striving
Long-term goal striving has been recognized as an important stage in goal achievement. Compared with the development of measurements of goal setting, researchers tended to measure goal striving in different manners. This study examined the conceptual structure of goal striving and validated a new scale to operationalize the construct within academic learning contexts. A 25-item scale was validated with 522 Chinese university students to assess it…
Public opinion on Moocs
The increasing and widespread usage of social media enables the investigation of public preference using the web as a device. Public sentiment as expressed in 44,319 massive open online course (MOOCs) related microblogs from January to December 2017 was examined on Sina Weibo (the Chinese equivalent of Twitter) to obtain broad insight into how MOOCs are viewed by the public in the Chinese educational landscape. Despite the unstable upward trend o…
Grit and academic achievement
Trust, politics and post-IPO performance
This paper empirically investigates the role of social trust in the long-term performance of the initial public offerings (IPOs) in China, controlling for the formal institutional environment. We find that privately owned or smaller IPO firms experience significantly better post-IPO performance when they are incorporated in regions with more social trust. The state-owned and bigger IPO firms, on the other hand, experience better long-term post-IP…
Qualitative Exploration of Chinese Students’ Perspectives on Long-Term Goal Striving
Many scholars have emphasized the role of passion and effort in successfully achieving goals, but others have argued that many factors can affect goal achievement. This qualitative study explored Chinese students’ perspectives on how one achieves long-term goals. We conducted individual, in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 13 Chinese university students to capture their past experiences of and perspectives on pursuing long-term goals. A new…
Validation of a simplified Chinese version of the 3 × 2 Achievement Goal Questionnaire (AGQ-S)
This paper reports on the development of a shortened version of the 3 × 2 achievement goal questionnaire, a psychometrically sound, theoretically driven, self-report measure. The shortened version (AGQ-S) which contains 12 items and six subscales improves on the original version in three ways: It eliminates the redundant frequency scale, simplifies the scoring of the subscales, and reduces overlap across subscales. The reliability and validity of…
Relations of multivariate goal profiles to motivation, epistemic beliefs and achievement
We examined whether undergraduates’ achievement goal orientations could be represented as profiles and whether profiles were linked to self-reported motivation, epistemic beliefs and academic achievement. Data collected during an undergraduate course were analyzed using a clustering technique. Using the 2 × 2 goal model (Elliot & McGregor, 2001 ), we identified five achievement goal profiles. Our findings suggest the interaction of goal orientati…

Role of Self-Identity and Self-Determination in English Learning among High School Students
A considerable amount of research has investigated the separate roles of motivation and identity in language learning. This study aimed to examine these two important constructs jointly by exploring the relationship between motivation, identity processing styles, and English learning among high school students. The hypotheses were empirically tested using questionnaire data collected from 187 Macau high school students. Correlation analysis found…

Experiences of Autonomy and Control Among Chinese Learners
Various cross-cultural researchers state that autonomy is not valued in Eastern cultures and, hence, is unlikely to predict optimal study functioning and well-being. In contrast, self-determination theory (SDT; R. M. Ryan & E. L. Deci, 2000) maintains that autonomous or volitional study motivation is universally important and should predict better learning and higher well-being, even among Chinese students. Two studies were conducted to shed ligh…
A Cross-Cultural Examination of the Psychometric Properties of Responses to the Achievement Goal Questionnaire
The psychometric properties of scores from the Achievement Goal Questionnaire were examined in samples of Japanese (N = 326) and Canadian (N = 307) postsecondary students. Previous research found evidence of a four-factor structure of achievement goals in U.S. samples. Using confirmatory factor-analytic techniques, the authors found strong evidence for the four-factor structure of achievement goals in both the Canadian and Japanese populations. S…
Does Acquiescence Affect Individual Items Consistently
Previous research has found the effects of acquiescence to be generally consistent across item aggregates within a single survey (i.e., essential tau-equivalence), but it is unknown whether this phenomenon is consistent at the individual item level. This article evaluated the often assumed but inadequately tested proposition that individual items are affected by acquiescence to the same degree. We modeled an external acquiescence criterion to ass…

Plant Growth, Antibiotic Uptake, and Prevalence of Antibiotic Resistance in an Endophytic System of Pakchoi under Antibiotic Exposure
Antibiotic contamination in agroecosystems may cause serious problems, such as the proliferation of various antibiotic resistant bacteria and the spreading of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment or even to human beings. However, it is unclear whether environmental antibiotics, antibiotic resistant bacteria, and ARGs can directly enter into, or occur in, the endophytic systems of plants exposed to pollutants. In this study, a hyd…
