Previous research works demonstrate that risk perception (RP) of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may result in experiencing negative emotions. The current research sought to further appraise of whether perceived social support alleviated the negative impact of RP of COVID-19 on subjective well-being (SWB) among university students. A sum of…

Purpose: The aims of this study are to examine affective responses of university students when viewing their own predictive learning analytics (PLA) dashboards, and to analyse how those responses are perceived to affect their self-regulated learning behaviour. Design/methodology/approach: A total of 42 Northern Irish students were shown their own…

A well-documented finding in aging and emotion research is that older adults reliably report less negative and, often, more positive affect than younger adults. How older people accomplish this is, however, an open question. We propose that this age effect is the result of differential use of emotion regulation strategies, especially when…
