The best teacher is like a famous mage everyone knows – Just not any of your favorites

This essay draws out the useful parallels between the best kind of teacher and the Good Witch of the North, Glinda, from The Wizard of Oz. Unappealing to many viewers or readers of the classic children's story, Glinda offers an inspiring reminder of four important pedagogical points: (1) the master teacher always treats her student as a peer; (2) the master teacher acknowledges and encourages her student's abilities but lets her learn how to exercise them on her own; (3) the master teacher is often not equivalent or even similar to anyone the student has encountered before; and (4) the master teacher is not a surrogate parent but a more distant figure.     

Association between tobacco use,depression, and anxiety: A cross-national study among university students from 30 low- and middle-income countries

This study aimed to investigate the association between tobacco use and depression and anxiety in a cross-national study among university students from 30 predominantly low- and middle-income countries. Self-report survey data were collected from 23 073 university students (58.0% female), with a mean age of 20.8 years (SD = 2.5). Following logistic regression analyses, tobacco using university students were more likely to have depressive symptoms and anxiety (posttraumatic stress symptoms = PTSS) than non-tobacco using students. Gender stratified analysis found associations between tobacco use and depressive symptoms were stronger among women than men. The associations between tobacco use and anxiety (PTSD) symptoms were stronger among men than women. In this large cross-national study, current tobacco use was significantly associated with depression and anxiety (PTSD) symptoms. Tobacco use prevention efforts can help alleviating mental health problems among university students.     

Meaning as a coping resource: Experiences of nursing students

This exploratory study examined conceptions of meaning as a coping resource among nursing students. A qualitative approach was used to explore the lived experiences of 13 nursing students (female = 85%; age range = 18–22 years). Four conceptions of meaning emerged from the qualitative analysis, namely occupational stress as an avenue to meaning, compassion satisfaction, relational meaning, and meaning through spirituality. The findings indicate that various conceptions of meaning could assist nursing students in enhancing coping abilities.     

Social Validity Assessment of Mindfulness Education and Practices Among High School Students

The authors describe social validity assessment of mindfulness education and practices among high school students (N = 84) participating in a 10-week instructional program. The participants rated their satisfaction with and acceptance of several program components, content areas, and outcomes, as well as their engagement in specific mindfulness practices. Nearly all of the participants rated the program favorably, reported many beneficial effects, and anticipated future use of mindfulness in their lives. They did not routinely perform voluntary formal guided meditations beyond the classroom but did engage in informal mindfulness practices preceding certain activities (e.g., preparing for a test, athletic competition, performance event) and going to sleep at night. The authors discuss these findings and the implications for designing school-based mindfulness education programs.     

中学生内隐自我价值感特征的实验研究

应用经过修订的内隐联想测验技术和青少年自我价值感量表对230名初中一年级至高中三年组中学生的内隐自我价值感与外显自我价值感的发展水平进行测试与分析。研究结果表明：经过修订的内隐联想测验的实验效果量良好;中学生的内隐自我价值感具有稳定性和一致性特征;内隐自我价值感与外显自我价值感是两个相对独立的结构。     

研究生职业价值观的定量比较研究

用修订后的中文super职业价值观量表为工具对377名在读硕士研究生的职业价值观进行调查,研究结果表明：1．在研究生职业价值观中影响最大的因素为进取心、经济价值和工作关系。2．研究生对15种职业价值尺度最重视的前4位依次为生活方式、成就、独立性、同事关系,而对监督关系、变动性、安全性、管理最不重视。研究生的职业价值观在不同年级、性别、工作经历、婚姻状况、学科间重视顺序一致性程度很高,但在一些价值尺度上也表现出了团体差异和个别差异。     

大学生网络使用利弊权衡问卷的编制

在前期访谈并结合国内外已有研究的基础上,编制网络成瘾领域的利弊权衡问卷(Internet Addiction Decisional Balance Questionnaire,简称IDBQ)。被试为选自北京市7所高校的1166名大学生,按大约2∶3的方式将被试随机分成两组(N₁=441,N₂=725)分别用于探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析。结果表明IDBQ由好处分问卷和代价分问卷组成,其中好处分问卷维度包括放松心情、获取知识、方便交流和获得成就感;代价分问卷维度包括空虚苦恼、荒废学业、人际受损、浪费金钱。IDBQ具有良好的信度和效度指标,可以作为我国大学生网络使用利弊权衡的测量工具。     

大学生勇气与主观幸福感的关系:一个有调节的中介模型

在健全人格理论基础上构建有调节的中介模型,探讨勇气影响大学生主观幸福感的中介机制及其调节因素。采用整群抽样法选取重庆市550名18～28岁大学生为调查对象,让其自我报告勇气、主观幸福感、社会取向自我价值感等情况。多元回归分析表明：（1）大学生勇气对主观幸福感有显著正向预测作用。（2）大学生勇气通过社会取向自我价值感的中介作用间接影响主观幸福感。（3）该间接效应受到性别的调节,即女生的间接效应比男生更显著。研究结果验证了中国文化背景下大学生勇气具有预测主观幸福感的功能,并一定程度上揭示了二者关系背后可能的作用机制。     

大学生的社会网络

在系统回顾大学生社会网络的内涵、维度与测量的基础上, 从家庭与个体方面厘清大学生社会网络的影响因素, 其中个体因素可进一步划分为人口统计学特征、内隐特质以及外显行为方式等因素; 同时, 基于影响效果的时空特点, 从近端与远端两个视角概括了大学生社会网络对其校内态度、行为以及毕业后就业、创业影响的过程机制。未来可以从大学生社会网络维护策略、网络动态性演变等方面进行探索性研究。     

大学生时间管理倾向的测量及与文化取向的关系

依据时间管理的相关理论,参照国内外已有的相关问卷和量表,提出时间管理问卷的结构。对872份有效数据进行探索性和验证性因素分析,同时考察了价值观与时间管理的关系。研究结果表明：（1）大学生时间管理倾向问卷包括6个因子：即规划性、拖延性、时间透视性、自觉控制性、混乱倾向性和抗压性;（2）问卷的内部一致性信度、分半信度和重测信度均较高,问卷具有良好的信效度;（3）价值观中的垂直个人主义对时间管理倾向中的计划性、自觉控制性和混乱倾向性有显著预测作用;价值观中的垂直集体主义对时间透视和抗压力有显著的正向预测作用。
