“…It is assumed that at the subconscious level an enormous amount of content and processes are stored, which can influence behaviour without awareness (Stajkovic, Locke, and Blair 2006). As a consequence, it is possible for implicit measures to show greater change than explicit measures in order to highlight the strategies underlying self-regulation (Petty, Wheeler, and Tormala 2003;Petty and Briñol 2009).…”

This study aims at investigating students' strategies -as revealed by behavioural, psychophysiological and introspective measures -which are applied during the free exploration of multimedia instructional presentations, which requires students to self-regulate their learning processes. Two multimedia presentations were constructed and presented to a sample of 20 undergraduates in two conditions: written text + pictures vs. audio text + pictures. While students were engaged in the study of the presentations, their eye movements were registered and psychophysiological indices were monitored. Students' learning outcomes were assessed and a questionnaire was employed to record students' awareness of the mental processes involved in the task. Results showed that students were able to discriminate between the written-and audio-text conditions and self-regulate their behaviour accordingly. A model, assuming psychophysiological indices as predictors of different eye-movement patterns, highlighted significant differences between the written-and the audio-text conditions. A regression model, considering learning outcomes as a dependent variable, showed that the number of correct responses could be predicted according to the level of cognitive effort needed during the exploration of the multimedia presentations.

“…Furthermore, one of the main points of interest in the field is the dynamic aspect of attitudes, as researchers generally agree that attitudes change (Bohner and Dickel 2011;Crano, Cooper, and Forgas 2010;Petty, Wheeler, and Tormala 2003;Wood 2000). Attitude change means that 'a person's evaluation is modified from one value to another' (Petty and Wegener 1998, 324).…”

This study explores changes in attitudes towards Catalan, Spanish, and English over a two-year period, on the part of secondary education students of immigrant origin residing in Catalonia. It aims to provide new data by adopting a longitudinal design and by focusing on the immigrant population, which has raised new challenges for the Catalan society and education system. Data was collected from 72 secondary education students who answered a language attitudes questionnaire twice, at a twoyear interval. The instrument chosen has been successfully used in the area previously (Huguet, Janés, and Chireac 2008; Madariaga, Huguet, and Lapresta 2013). Findings showed that attitudes towards Catalan improved, while attitudes towards Spanish and English remained stable, based on which we discuss the strength of language attitudes in this particular context. Furthermore, the socio-demographic and affective variables traditionally investigated as determinants of language attitudes were not found to influence the processes of attitude change.

“…Attitudes -the basis for influencing human behaviour -are basically general and relatively enduring (negative or positive) evaluations that people make, based on their feelings, experiences, and actions (Petty, Wheeler, & Tormala, 2003). People's attitudes towards stray dogs have a major influence on the level of commitment and support that human beings provide in enforcing and respecting relevant legislation, and following the strategies related to animal welfare (Lindsey, du Toit, & Mills, 2005).…”
