Digital education considerably requires active participation of students in the learning process, the application of self-regulated learning activities for the attainment of successful learning results. The aim of the present study is the investigation of time perspectives as the predictors of online self-regulated learning. In our study 210 Transylvanian students participated, from the Babes-Bolyai University, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences. Students’ demographic characteristics were recorded, for the assessment of self-regulation the Self-regulated Online Learning Questionnaire - Revised was applied and time perspectives of students were measured by the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory. A correlational, cross-sectional design was used. On the basis of the results of hierarchical regression, in our first model demographic characteristics explained 5% of the variance for the application of self-regulation activities. In our second model, controlling demographic variables, time perspectives explained an additional 33% of the variance for self-regulation. Self-regulated learning strategies are predicted among demographic characteristics by students’ gender, age and online learning, while out of time perspectives only future orientation proved to be a significant predictor. Females, older students, participants attending online education and higher future orientation apply to a higher degree the self-regulated learning strategies as males, younger students and participants with lower scores at future orientation.
In recent years, the topic of executive functions has played a significant role in the context of clinical psychology, because maladaptive patterns can impair several aspects of physical and mental health. The main goal of the present study is to explore the relationship between executive functions, binge eating symptoms and body mass index. 103 participants showing binge eating symptoms have been involved in the present study, who completed the Binge Eating Screener, the short Hungarian version of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function - Adult - Self Report scale, and a demographic questionnaire. We conducted and explorative study, since contrary to previous research, we did not only point out the linear relationship between binge eating symptoms and body mass index, but also studied the mediating role of executive functions (cognitive regulation, emotion regulation and behavior regulation) in this relationship. In this model, binge eating symptoms can be defined as predictor variables, while the output variable is the body mass index. Our results show that there is a significant positive correlation between body mass index, binge eating symptoms and certain components of executive functions (cognitive regulation problems and behavior regulation problems). We also found that behavior regulation problems are present as mediators in the relationship between binge eating symptoms and body mass index.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
