“…Some patients on the other hand, felt that group exercise was inhibiting. This effect is also found in bladder patients 35 and in chronic low back patients who expressed feelings of embarrassment when training in a group. 36 For these patients, telerehabilitation treatment would address their desire to exercise privately.…”

Objectives To explore patientsÕ perceptions regarding prospective telerehabilitation services and the factors that facilitate or impede patientsÕ intentions to use these services.Design Using semi-structured interviews, patients reflected on the pros and cons of various scenarios of prospective telerehabilitation services. PatientsÕ arguments were first arranged according to the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Next, using inductive analysis, the data for each UTAUT component were analysed and arranged into subthemes.Setting and participants Twenty-five chronic pain patients were selected from a rehabilitation centre in the Netherlands.Results Overall, participants considered telerehabilitation helpful as a complementary or follow-up treatment, rather than an autonomous treatment. Arguments mainly related to the UTAUT constructs of Ôperformance expectancyÕ and Ôfacilitating conditionsÕ. Patients valued the benefits such as reduced transportation barriers, flexible exercise hours and the possibility to better integrate skills into daily life. However, many patients feared a loss of treatment motivation and expressed concerns about both reduced fellow sufferer contact and reduced face-to-face therapist contact. Few arguments related to Ôsocial normsÕ and Ôeffort expectancyÕ.Conclusions The effect of telerehabilitation on healthcare strongly depends on patientsÕ willingness to use. Our study showed that chronic pain patients valued the benefits of telerehabilitation but hesitate to use it as an autonomous treatment. Therefore, future initiatives should maintain traditional care to some degree and focus on patientsÕ attitudes as well. Either by giving information to increase patientsÕ confidence in telerehabilitation or by addressing reported drawbacks into the future design of these services. Further quantitative studies are needed to explore patientsÕ intentions to use telerehabilitation.

“…Based on social comparison theory [40], research has shown that students' selfconcepts are highly influenced by their social environment and the social comparisons provided by this environment [41]. Langford et al [42] point out, for example, that perceived social support leads to more accurate perceptions of normative peers [43].…”

Using a person-centered research approach, the present study explored individual differences in students' perceptions of instructional quality in secondary school mathematics classes and their relations to students' self-concept and interest in mathematics. Drawing on data collected from 425 high school students from ten schools in Berlin, Germany (male: 53.2%; female: 46.3%), latent class analyses (LCA) revealed four distinct patterns of perceived quality of instruction. Almost half of the sample (46%) had a high likelihood of perceiving an overall low quality in mathematics classes. Those students reported particular low self-concept and interest in mathematics. Compared to male students, female students were significantly more likely to belong to this "challenging pattern." Consequences for educational practice are discussed and suggest that instruction in mathematics should take into account learners' highly individual ways of perceiving and evaluating their learning environment.

“…They try to distance themselves from failure and associate themselves with success by attributing the former to external factors, but claim (sometimes unwarranted) personal responsibility for the latter (e.g., Schlenker, Weigold, & Hallam, 1990;Dauenheimer, Stahlberg, Frey & Petersen, 2002). They also tend to protect self-esteem via favorable social comparisons or ingroup identification (e.g., Turner, Hogg, Turner, & Smith, 1984;Wood, 1989).…”

The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. Two studies demonstrate that members of high-status groups (i.e., men and students of business administration) but not members of low-status groups (i.e., women and education students) react with an increase in state self-esteem after an alleged poor performance on a fictitious intelligence test. This Failure-as-an-Asset (FA) effect is only observed when the high-status ingroup (i.e., men) is outperformed by a low-status outgroup (i.e., women). In this case, a poor performance will lead to a strong identification with the ingroup due to high ingroup prototypicality. As predicted, the effects of experiencing success or failure on selfesteem were mediated by identification with the ingroup. ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
