Strengthening pre-service teachers’ coping strategies
Objective: Teaching internships represent a critical phase in teacher education but are frequently associated with high and overlapping demands. Coping and stress-management skills are essential for pre-service teachers to prevent long-term consequences such as emotional exhaustion. However, many university curricula lack needs-based interventions addressing the specific stressors of teaching internships. This study aimed to develop a theory of c…
Internship resources, mediating mechanisms, emotional exhaustion and career motivation in student teachers
During teaching internships, student teachers face a range of demands and new challenges that can affect their emotional wellbeing and motivation to pursue a teaching career. This study examined how various personal and contextual resources relate to emotional exhaustion and career motivation among student teachers during their internship semester using structural equation modeling. After validating the questionnaire structure with confirmatory f…
Analyzing early childhood allergy prevention motivation of mothers of infants and its predictors using latent class analysis and structural equation modelling
The use of ECAP-measures by parents to protect their newborns from allergies is important, but there are deficiencies in their implementation. Based on a social cognitive model approach, predictive characteristics could be identified, which are associated with increased motivation to implement ECAP-measures. For public health our findings provide a promising basis for conception of behavioral and environmental ECAP prevention measures and their m…

Psychosocial Burden and Strains of Pedagogues—Using the Job Demands-Resources Theory to Predict Burnout, Job Satisfaction, General State of Health, and Life Satisfaction
The current study examines the Job Demands-Resources theory among pedagogical professionals. A total of 466 pedagogues ( n = 227 teachers; n = 239 social workers) completed the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire online. After testing the questionnaire structure using confirmatory factor analysis, a JD-R-based prediction model to predict effects of strains on the outcome constructs of burnout, job satisfaction, general state of health, and life…
The Hidden Religious Dimension of Posthumanism
Since the end of the twentieht century, the intellectual movements of trans- and post-humanism have gained growing awarness in the humanities and social sciences, but also in a broader public. As Francesca Ferrando makes very clear in her brilliant and thought provoking introduction to Philosophical Posthumanism, both currents are connected in many ways but should nevertheless be sharply distinguished from each other: Whereas transhumanism develo…

Assessing the Development of Educational Research Literacy
The ability to purposefully access, reflect, and use evidence from educational research (Educational Research Literacy) is expected of future professionals in educational practice. Based on the presented conceptual framework, a test instrument was developed to assess the different competency aspects: Information Literacy, Statistical Literacy, and Evidence-based Reasoning. This paper addresses the question of whether this test allows monitoring s…

Does Clinical Experience or Professional Training Have an Impact On What Symptoms Are Thought To Be Important Features of Depression
Background: Concerning diagnostics of mental disorders, increasing time and cost pressure in the clinical practice often requires an ad hoc and intuitive holistic examination of the patient’s clinical presentation instead of the application of standardized diagnostic instruments. This study examined whether attributes of mental healthcare professionals (professional training, clinical experience, socio-demographic variables) affect their implicit…
The Worksite Health Promotion Capacity Instrument (WHPCI)
Our findings indicate preliminary evidence for the validity and reliability of both subscales of the WHPCI. The goodness of each cut-off score suggests that the scales are appropriate for determining companies' levels of health promotion capacity. Support in implementing (systematic) worksite health promotion can then be tailored to each company's needs based on their current capacity level
The relationship between spiritual experiences, transpersonal trust, social support, and sense of coherence and mental distress—a comparison of spiritually practising and non-practising samples
We compared the pathways from exceptional experiences (measured with the Exceptional Experiences Questionnaire, EEQ), transpersonal trust (TPV), social support (F-SoZu) and sense of coherence (SOC) scales towards mental distress within a spiritually practising (SP) and a non-practising sample (NSP), using structural equation modelling. We found a high amount of variance explained for SOC (SP: R 2 = 0.50; NSP: R 2 = 0.61), a moderate amount for F-…
