We examined the relative effectiveness of a college-level self-management (SM) course and a physical exercise (PE) course on improving self-control. In Study 1, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) and general regulatory behavior questionnaire were administered before and after the courses to students from an SM course (experimental group 1; n =…

Current studies on academic coaching programs highlight their positive effects on undergraduate student success, particularly among students with disabilities. However, there remains a gap in understanding how these programs achieve success for students without disabilities. This research seeks to assess the impact of academic coaching on…

Background: More than one-third of university students meet diagnostic criteria for a mental disorder, and three quarters experience role impairment in some aspect of their life.
