Bandura in Virtual Reality
This study investigates how immersive virtual reality (VR) simulations support international postgraduate preservice teachers (PSTs) in preparing for their initial professional experiences in Australian early childhood settings. Positioned within growing concerns about PST readiness, confidence, and cultural adjustment, the study examined the use of VR as a preparatory pedagogical tool. Sixty-six PSTs participated in human-in-the-loop mixed-reali…
World Beliefs Predict the Maintenance of Satisfying Communal Relationships
The current research examined implications of primal world beliefs—beliefs about the world’s basic character—for the maintenance of satisfying and mutually responsive relationships. In a dyadic daily diary study of romantic couples with a 1-year follow-up ( N = 236 couples and 6,411 days), those who saw the world as Good and Enticing were more satisfied with their relationships and responsive to their partners in everyday life, they had partners …
Harnessing the Power of Virtual Reality Experiences as Social Situation of Development to Enrich the Professional Experiences of Early Childhood Pre-Service Teachers
Professional experiences are vital in teacher education programmes, especially in early childhood teacher education programmes, as this allows pre-service teachers (PSTs) to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world settings. Hence, PSTs’ preparation for their placement experience is crucial. Recently, the innovative use of virtual reality (VR) in teacher training has begun to support the professional development of PSTs, although this appr…
Directive and Interpretive Functions of World Beliefs in Dyadic Interaction
The current research examines the functions of world beliefs in the context of observed social support interactions between romantic partners and their implications for affective experience and psychological well-being. Both members of romantic couples ( N = 235 couples) discussed personal problems while being recorded. When listening to their partner’s problems, participants who saw the world as Enticing (i.e., full of rewards and worth explorin…
Daily relatedness predicts positive shifts in world beliefs
Primal world beliefs-beliefs about the general character of the world-are linked to psychological well-being, yet little is known about what drives changes in these beliefs. This study examined whether daily relatedness-rewarding, intimate, and responsive social interactions-predicts shifts in primal world beliefs over a year. In a dyadic study of romantic couples ( N = 235 couples and 6,411 daily observations), daily relatedness predicted more p…
Patterns and correlates of dating and intimate relationship involvement among sexual minority adolescents
Shifts in societal attitudes and beliefs about sexual minority people may provide sexual minority youth with more opportunities to engage in intimate relationships during adolescence. To date, however, the degree to which sexual minority adolescents are involved in relationships and the factors related to such involvement are not well understood. The current study addressed this gap using data from a national sample of over 15,000 sexual minority…
The Role of World Beliefs in Loneliness
INTRODUCTION: Lonely people often crave social connection, but their social interactions fall short of fulfilling their needs. Although loneliness has been associated with negative views of the world, it is not clear whether these world beliefs contribute to the unfulfilling social interaction patterns that sustain loneliness. This research examined the role of world beliefs in explaining the effects of loneliness on daily frequency and quality o…
International education in transition
The burgeoning and transitioning field of private 'non-traditional' English-medium international schooling increasingly involves local schools delivering a Western-oriented curriculum to local children. This is especially evident in mainland China, which since 2019 has housed the most international schools. We present here a qualitative investigation of a Chinese senior school delivering an Australian curriculum. Informed by semi-structured inter…
How loneliness undermines close relationships and persists over time
1,197) suggesting that loneliness is associated with a negative bias in perceiving relationship partners' regard and care and that this bias partially accounts for the effects of loneliness on lower relationship quality and problematic interpersonal behaviors. Loneliness was associated with perceiving family members (Study 1), friends (Studies 1 and 2), and romantic partners (Studies 1-3) as less admiring and caring, and these effects were indepe…
