“…There are other studies that support the results of this study. Lüftenegger et al [44] determined that successful gifted students had a higher motivation than non-successful students and that they perceived the class as a construct that focuses on learning and contains activities that are more autonomous. Al-Dhamit and Kreishan [45] found a significant relationship between parental support and internal and external motivation levels.…”

When drawing up the educational conditions offered to gifted students, it is important to be aware of their characteristics and to reveal the variables affecting their learning processes. Even though there are institutions in many countries that provide services for gifted individuals, there are relatively few studies on how students assess the climate in these institutions and how the institutional climate influences the learning process. Therefore, we investigated the influence of motivation, talent, and creativity levels of students attending Science and Arts Centers, an educational institution in Turkey for gifted students, regarding science classes, the role of academic involvement and parent and teacher support, and the school climate as perceived by students. In this context, 997 gifted students selected through stratified sampling provided the data for the study. When parental and teacher support and school climate perceived by gifted students are considered together, this significantly predicts the students' motivation toward science, their levels of scientific creativity, and science talents. The findings of this study were examined considering the current literature, and the limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are presented.

“…Thanks to the advanced mode of college education and rapid progress of curriculum, it is difficult to keep up with day-to-day learning without good environmental adaptability (Pirmohammed, Debowska, & Boduszek, 2017), especially in college English. Although most students have already done a lot of English learning in primary and secondary schools, the situational approach to college English teaching has high requirements for students' psychological adaptability (Lüftenegger, Kollmayer, Bergsmann et al, 2015). Therefore, based on the data of 570 questionnaires, this study makes an in-depth analysis of the influence of college students' adaptability to the English psychological environment on the improvement of their academic performance, so as to provide references for improving their English learning ability and raising the educational level of college English subject.…”

This paper aims to identify how the psychological adaptability of college students affects their English performance. Based on the data of 570 questionnaires, the author firstly summarized the main problems with the psychological adaptability of college students in English learning. Then, the psychological adaptability of college students to English learning was evaluated under the influence of professional category, learning motivation and learning behavior. Finally, several countermeasures were proposed for English learners in colleges. The results show that there are four problems with the current psychological adaptability of college students to English learning, namely, unclear purpose, fuzzy objectives, unreasonable strategy and unsuitable test method; the college students majoring in arts can adapt to English learning more easily than those majoring in science, engineering and agriculture; the psychological adaptability of college students should be promoted through measures like stepping up training, enhancing stress tolerance, implementing psychological intervention, etc. The research results shed new light on English education in Chinese colleges.
