Based on a short-term longitudinal sample, we tested the bidirectional relations between negative emotionality, emotion regulation, and achievement. We also tested if academic engagement mediated the link from negative emotionality and emotion regulation to achievement. The study sample consisted of 199 third through sixth grade stu...

Can reading fluency and self-efficacy of reading fluency be enhanced with an intervention targeting the sources of self-efficacy?
Publication date: October 2018Source: Learning and Individual Differences, Volume 67Author(s): T. Aro, H. Viholainen, T. Koponen, P. Peura, E. Räikkönen, P. Salmi, R. Sorvo, M. AroAbstractThe first aim of the study was to analyze whether reading fluency and self-efficacy of reading fluency (SE-rf) are malleable for children (Grades 3–5) with deficits in fluent reading via a 12-week special education program targeting both reading fluency and the sources of SE-rf (SE-program). The second aim was to investigate whether changes in SE-rf are related to changes in reading fluency. The SE-program (n = 40) was contrasted ...

Multidimensionality in the measurement of math-specific anxiety and its relationship with mathematical performance
Publication date: Available online 19 July 2016Source: Learning and Individual DifferencesAuthor(s): Sarah L. Lukowski, Jack DiTrapani, Minjeong Jeon, Zhe Wang, Victoria J.Schenker, Madeline M. Doran, Sara A. Hart, Michèle M.M. Mazzocco, Erik G. Willcutt, Lee A.Thompson, Stephen A. PetrillAbstractTraditionally, mathematical anxiety has been utilized as a unidimensional construct. However, math-specific anxiety may have distinguishable factors, and taking these factors into account may better illuminate the relationship between anxiety and mathematics performance. Drawing from the Western Reserve Reading and Math Project (...
