“…The current research aligns with the results of several previous studies concerning the direct impact of critical thinking on the translation technology proficiency of college students (Azin & Tabrizi, 2016;Ghaemi & Sadoughvanini, 2020;Jahromi & Suzani, 2016;Liu, 2019;Parham & Fahim, 2013). These studies found a positive correlation between the critical thinking and translation performance.…”

“…Azin and Tabrizi (2016) also found a positive relationship between critical thinking skills. Other studies, such as Jahromi and Suzani (2016) further supported this association, showing that critical thinking, particularly deductive and inductive reasoning, significantly predicts translation performance. Ghaemi and Sadoughvanini (2020) extended this understanding, correlating higherorder thinking skills, including analyzing and creating, with translation quality.…”

Critical thinking and anxiety influenced the translation competence of translators. This study sought to examine the interactions between critical thinking, attitude, and anxiety influenced the translation competence of translators. This study adopted an empirical approach to collect data from 145 student translators from many colleges in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. Data were analyzed by using structural equation modelling to find out the relationship between the study factors. The results indicated that there was a negative relationship between AI anxiety with critical thinking and attitude. However, there was a strong positive relationship between attitude with critical thinking, and Machine Translation anxiety. Also, there was a positive relationship between Machine Translation anxiety with AI anxiety and critical thinking.

“…Furthermore, the results of the present study were in accordance with studies mentioned in the literature review section, in that it revealed a moderate positive correlation between overall translation ability and critical reading skill (r = .65, p.01). However, the earlier studies found a wide range of degree of relationship between translation ability and reading comprehension skill (r = .30 -.91, at least ps.05) (Aminafshar, 2016;Dwi, 2014;Jahromi & Suzani, 2016;Kavaliauskiene & Kaminskiene, 2009;Khanmohammad & Kehtari, 2015;Mashhadi, 2008;Pham, 2017;Rahemi & Jurif, 2013;Tavakoli, Shafiei & Hatam, 2012;Widiasari et al, 2015).…”

“…Some affective factors, such as reading habit, and writing interests were proposed as the variables that might be related to translation ability (Hernandani, 2015;Ridhwan, 2014). Another group of researchers focused their attention on cognitive factors such as critical thinking ability (Jahromi & Suzani, 2016), vocabulary mastery (Khotimah, 2015), writing skill (Hernandani, 2015), and reading comprehension skill (Kavaliauskiene & Kaminskiene, 2009;Mashhadi, 2008;Rahemi & Jufri, 2013;Widiasari, Supraman, & Sudirman, 2015).…”

Translation ability requires many language skills to produce an accurate and complete text; however, one important skill, critical reading in the research, has been neglected. This research, therefore, employed the explanatory sequential mixed method to investigate the differences in Thai-English translation ability between students with a high level of critical reading skill and students with a low level of critical reading skill, and to examine the relationship between translation ability and critical reading skill. Moreover, translation error analysis, with four main aspects, pragmatic, syntactic, semantic, and miscellaneous errors, was also conducted to explore the dominant translation errors committed by both groups of students. To this end, the participants of the study were 60 English major students from a Thai university. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference in Thai-English translation ability between the students with a high level of critical reading skill and the students with a low level of critical reading skill, and a significant correlation between translation ability and critical reading skill. In the translation error analysis, the semantic aspect, particularly the wrong use of words, was found to be the most frequent error committed by both groups of students.

“…They argued that critical thinkers not only outperform in inspecting the message of source language text but also synthesize it more efficiently. Jahromi and Suzani (2016) used Ricketts Critical Thinking Ability questionnaire (2003) to elicit learners’ critical thinking skill. In order to assess learners’ translation quality, they also used Vinay and Darbelnet’s model, which presented two strategies of translation: direct and oblique.…”

In recent years, the field of psychology has received more attention from researchers that work in the area of translation studies. This review set out to delve into the role of translation students’ critical thinking, as a construct of cognitive psychology, and emotion regulation, as a positive psychological construct, in translation performance. The positive and significant relationship between translation students’ critical thinking skill and their translation performance has been verified in the literature. Moreover, studies have revealed that emotion regulation and its regulator components, such as emotional intelligence, intuition, resilience, and professional expertise can significantly influence translation performance. This review can be beneficial for translation trainees, translation trainers, and curriculum designers to raise their awareness about the role of critical thinking and emotion regulation in translation studies.
