Objective: Self-rationing or one's ability to regulate allocation of resources for consumption can be an inefficient process. Despite the negative impact of self-rationing inefficiencies (e.g. unhealthy food choices), there is scarce research to understand this phenomenon. This study investigated college students' self-rationing efficiency of…

This paper aimed to explore the impact of self-regulated learning strategies on English language abilities and knowledge of 421 final-year undergraduate students at a public university in Thailand.

The emotion regulation theory hypothesizes that…

This study examined online graduate students' perceived learning styles and perceptions of factors that influenced their overall academic achievement in online courses. The study explored relationships between the learning styles and the factors identified as influencing achievement. Previous research produced mixed results when evaluating the…

Prior research has focused extensively on how emotion tendencies (e.g., duration, frequency, intensity, and valence) affect students' performance, but little is known about emotion variability (i.e., the fluctuations in emotion states) and how emotion variability affects performance. In this paper, emotion variability was examined among 21 medical…
