This study examined the role of learning engagement and academic self-efficacy in the feelings of burnout among English as a foreign language (EFL) students from China (N = 197). Three closed-ended scales were employed in the quantitative phase of this study to explore the relationship between the latent variables. Additionally, a hypothetical model was created and verified using Pearson's correlation analysis, structural equation modeling (SEM), path analysis, and mediating effect test. The investigation results demonstrated that while learning engagement was positively correlated with medium levels of academic self-efficacy, student burnout was inversely correlated with both variables. Among Chinese EFL students, academic self-efficacy and learning engagement are predictive of burnout, and learning engagement can act as a mediator to reduce the impact of academic self-efficacy on burnout. The implications for EFL teaching and learning are discussed in light of those findings, including enhancing EFL students' self-efficacy to reduce pessimism and increase academic achievement.

Adolescent behavior is closely linked to personality, a key predictor of physical activity. Due to inconsistent findings on how personality dimensions influence physical activity, focusing on combinations of personality traits is more valuable for theoretical and practical guidance. This study aims to examine potential categories of adolescent personality and their relationship with physical activity.

The spread of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in ever-widening domains (e.g., virtual assistants) increases the chances of daily interactions between humans and AI. But can non-human agents influence human beings and perhaps even surpass the power of the influence of another human being? This research investigated whether people faced with different tasks (objective vs. subjective) could be more influenced by the information provided by another human being or an AI. We expected greater AI (vs. other humans) influence in objective tasks (i.e., based on a count and only one possible correct answer). By contrast, we expected greater human (vs. AI) influence in subjective tasks (based on attributing meaning to evocative images). In Study 1, participants (N = 156) completed a series of trials of an objective task to provide numerical estimates of the number of white dots pictured on black backgrounds. Results showed that participants conformed more with the AI's responses than the human ones. In Study 2, participants (N = 102) in a series of subjective tasks observed evocative images associated with two concepts ostensibly provided, again, by an AI or a human. Then, they rated how each concept described the images appropriately. Unlike the objective task, in the subjective one, participants conformed more with the human than the AI's responses. Overall, our findings show that under some circumstances, AI can influence people above and beyond the influence of other humans, offering new insights into social influence processes in the digital era.

This study examined the effect of emotion on the judgment of durations of several minutes compared with that of durations of a few seconds. Three experiments were performed on the temporal judgment of emotional stimuli lasting from 2 s to 6 min (Experiment 1) or from 2 to 6 min (Experiment 2 and 3). These involved emotional sounds (Experiment 1 and 2) or virtual reality emotional films (Experiment 3). The results showed an increase in the lengthening of the perceived duration as the level of arousal and negative valence of the emotional stimuli increased, both for the long durations of several minutes and for the shorter durations. However, the magnitude of the time distortion tended to decrease as the length of the duration increased because the affects experienced by the participants lost their intensity over time. Nonetheless, when the exposure to emotional stimuli was limited and the stimuli were sufficiently arousing, as in Experiments 2 and 3, people overestimated time across durations ranging from seconds to minutes.

A number of studies have reported that the perception of an arousing emotional stimulus, such as an angry face, results in temporal overestimations which are probably due to the speeding up of a clock-like system. The aim of the present study was to examine whether this emotional effect can be generalized to all temporal tasks irrespective of the underlying cognitive processes involved in each task. Five different temporal tasks involving the presentation of neutral and angry faces were therefore tested: bisection, generalization, verbal estimation, production and reproduction. Our results showed an overestimation of time for the angry compared to the neutral faces in the temporal bisection, verbal estimation and production tasks but not in the temporal generalization and reproduction tasks. Moreover, the results obtained in the temporal verbal estimation and production tasks suggest that this temporal overestimation of the angry faces was associated with relatively more accurate estimates. The involvement of both arousal and attention mechanisms in the effect of emotional facial expressions on time perception is discussed in the light of the differences in the impact of the same emotional stimulus as a function of the temporal task considered.

The current study sought to explore the association between passion, grit and flow and study possible differences between the genders in a sample of 529 adults in Norway. There were 323 females and 204 males. Passion was measured with the passion scale, Grit with the Grit-S scale, and flow with the General Flow Proneness scale. Results indicate that males score significantly higher on passion and flow, whereas females score higher on grit. Additionally, there were significant correlations between these constructs which differed between the sexes. Both passion and grit have been demonstrated to have a positive relationship with flow. To investigate which factor that has the strongest association with flow. We performed a multiple regression analysis. The results suggested that a model with passion and grit explained 33 % of the variation in Flow for the whole sample. Grit had the strongest relationship with flow while controlling for passion (β = 0.44). Passion had a significant and positive relationship with Flow while controlling for grit (β = 0.26). We further investigated the relative importance of passion and grit in predicting flow. Grit (lgm =0.67) was approximately twice as important as passion (lgm = 0.32) in predicting flow. These findings suggest that grit is a more critical factor in achieving flow, offering theoretical insights into how these constructs contribute to life satisfaction, well-being, learning, and achievement.

探究激情、毅力与心流之间的性别差异

Relational utility refers to the value of another person for the attainment of one's future goals through social interaction. Nelissen (2014) found that relational utility influences the intensity of guilt feelings. Specifically, people would feel stronger guilt for hurting a person if this person has high relational utility compared to low relational utility. Guilt is thus not only sensitive to how much another person is hurt, but also to one's own future benefits. Previous research suggested that regret, an emotion strongly related to guilt, is typically experienced when one's own benefit is involved. Regret was not measured in Nelissen's research. In the present research, we examined the role of relational utility in experienced guilt and regret and explored whether the effect of relational utility on regret could explain why relational utility has an effect on guilt. Specifically, we attempt to replicate and extend Nelissen's Study 1 by adding a measure of regret. In two experimental studies we did not replicate the effect of relational utility on guilt, and we only found an effect of relational utility on regret in Study 1 (and not in Study 2). Possible reasons for the contradictory findings of the two studies are discussed.

The study investigates the mechanisms by which mobile online game experience and community interaction influence user satisfaction from the perspective of perceived value. Utilizing a survey methodology, the study gathered 252 valid responses and employed structural equation modeling to test the research model. The findings reveal that both game experience and community interaction positively impact user satisfaction in mobile gaming contexts. i.e., 1) a high-quality game experience significantly enhances perceived entertainment value 2) robust community interaction not only increases perceived entertainment value, but also positively affects perceived social value, and 3) the enhanced perceived values, in turn, contribute to higher overall user satisfaction. Theoretically, the study makes several original contributions to the literature by enriching the body of knowledge on mobile online game user experience, particularly focusing on the mobile platform. By integrating game experience with community interaction, it demonstrates that mobile online game users derive both entertainment and social value from their interactions, contributing to research on virtual community interactions and customer experience theory. Furthermore, the study explores how the perceived value derived from community interactions impacts user satisfaction, extending the existing literature on perceived value. The findings provide practical insights for mobile game developers, offering guidance on enhancing player enjoyment and promoting sustained engagement. Practically, by emphasizing the importance of entertainment and social value throughout the game usage process, the study suggests strategies for mobile game companies to develop high-quality communities that foster increased user satisfaction and continuous user engagement. These insights are crucial for mobile game enterprises in crafting effective game development and marketing strategies, highlighting the necessity of addressing both entertainment and social aspects to create a comprehensive and engaging user experience, essential for maintaining long-term user interest and loyalty.

This study aims to evaluate the role of AI as an educational tool from an ethical and pedagogical perspective as it delves into the perceptions of the teaching community whose resistance to technology integration into conventionally managed classrooms has been well established in a large number of studies. The study uses a mixed methods design to gather data from 50 English, Translation, and Linguistics faculty members at Ha'il University whose collective and individual views on the ethical and pedagogical issues are analyzed using a questionnaire and individual interviews. Results indicate an overall high perception (M = 3.49, Std = 0.808) among the teachers towards the ethical use of AI in their teaching experience and (M = 3.84, Std = 0.833), on the pedagogical implications of AI in the learning process. Findings also indicate that educators are aware of solutions to ensure maintenance of ethics with inclusion of AI in teaching, including training students on the use of AI, regulating the learning environment, using AI-based plagiarism detector and reformulating the assessment systems. They also report pedagogical considerations that help in the integration of AI tools in the EFL classroom. The study concludes with recommending that both EFL instructors and students be aware about the ways and need to ensure safer use of AI in the learning process.

Drawing on the conservation of resource (COR) theory principles, this study demonstrates how despotic leadership (DL) negatively impacts employee career success (ECS) in the pharmaceutical industry. Since this is a serious growing concern in emerging research and a threat to the career therefore we aimed to investigate the relationship between (DL) and (ECS). Parallel mediating effects of job insecurity (JI) and emotional exhaustion (EE) are also tested which was overlooked in previous literature. Data were collected from 325 working employees. The target population of this study was managers, middle managers, and administrative staff facing DL. The results revealed a significant negative relationship between DL and ECS. Furthermore, JI and EE partially mediate the relationship between DL and ECS. Present research advances literature theoretically and practically in the field of organization behavior, specifically in the pharmaceutical industry. As it explored the connection between DL and employees'' career success under stressful working conditions. Thus, top management should develop leadership programs that focus on improving their behavior toward employees and leading to positive outcomes in the reduction of JI and EE. Secondly, the industry should formulate and implement clear policies and guidelines to curtail the detrimental effects of DL by inculcating open communication, employee empowerment, a supportive work environment, and shared growth of leaders and followers. Thirdly, include qualitative and quantitative methods (i.e., 360 feedback) to evaluate leaders' behavior, which may give deeper insight into leadership behavior.
