Cognitive-Environmental Coherence Theory (CECT): A novel framework for culturally-embedded mental health.

This study introduces the Cognitive-Environmental Coherence Theory (CECT), a novel theoretical framework redefining mental health as an emergent outcome of dynamic alignment between internal cognitive schemas and external environmental structures. Grounded in cultural psychology and systems theory, CECT challenges biomedical individualism by emphasizing culturally embedded mental processes and ecological congruence. Cross-national evidence from six Asian countries supports the model, demonstrating that schema-environment coherence predicts resilience and psychological well-being, while misalignment exacerbates distress.

Multigenerational resilience: A novel theory on the psychological transmission of resilience and the role of culture and spirituality in indigenous communities: A narrative review.

Resilience is widely studied as an individual psychological trait; however, its intergenerational transmission through cultural and social mechanisms remains underexplored. This narrative review synthesizes existing research on Multigenerational Resilience, focusing on the roles of cultural traditions, spirituality, and social networks in indigenous communities. Drawing on psychological, anthropological, and ecological perspectives, this study introduces the Multigenerational Resilience Theory (MRT), which conceptualizes resilience as a dynamic, intergenerational process reinforced through oral narratives, collective rituals, and shared belief systems.

Mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between psychological flexibility and psychological well-being in women with breast cancer.

Previous studies have investigated the relationship between psychological flexibility and psychological well-being among several populations. In addition to examine the relationship between these two variables, this study enhances our understanding about the process underlying the relationship between psychological flexibility and psychological well-being among women with breast cancer. The aim of the present study is to test the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between psychological flexibility and psychological well-being among Iranian women with breast cancer.

The impact of AI-driven sentiment analysis on patient outcomes in psychiatric care: A narrative review.

This article addresses the pressing question of how advanced analytical tools, specifically artificial intelligence (AI)-driven sentiment analysis, can be effectively integrated into psychiatric care to enhance patient outcomes. Utilizing specific search phrases like "AI-driven sentiment analysis," "psychiatric care," and "patient outcomes," a comprehensive survey of English-language publications from the years 2014-2024 was performed. This examination encompassed multiple databases such as PubMed, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, and IEEE Xplore.

Not a passive learner but an active one: a focus on the efficacy of philosophy-based language instruction and its consequences on EFL learners' critical thinking, engagement, and academic achievement.

This study investigates the impact of Philosophy-Based Language Teaching (PBLT) on the critical thinking skills and learner engagement of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. A concurrent mixed-methods approach, including semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and academic achievement tests, was employed with an experimental group (EG) exposed to PBLT and a control group (CG) receiving traditional instruction. The results reveal a substantial positive effect of PBLT on the critical thinking abilities of EFL learners, as evidenced by thematic analyses of interviews and document content.

The effect of planning time on vocabulary acquisition in a task-based environment: the mediating roles of working memory and field (in)dependence.

This research investigated the impact of planning time, working memory (WM), and cognitive styles on language learning outcomes within the framework of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT). Drawing on a diverse sample of language learners, the study employed a pretest-posttest control group quasi-experiment to examine the effects of providing pre-task planning time on language performance. Participants engaged in communicative tasks, with a focus on vocabulary acquisition and task complexity, while their cognitive processes were assessed through measures of WM and cognitive styles.

Demystifying anxiety and demotivation in on-line assessment: a focus on the impacts on academic buoyancy and autonomy.

Test anxiety is a combination of a confluence of physiological hyperarousal, tension, and bodily manifestations, with apprehension, trepidation, fear of inadequacy, and the tendency to magnify negative outcomes, which manifest before or during evaluative assessments. Online evaluation might potentially exacerbate anxiety and demotivation among learners. When students' psychological and emotional well-being are taken into account, it may be possible to improve their educational and evaluative experiences.

A diachronic study determining syntactic and semantic features of Urdu-English neural machine translation.

Machine translation produces marginal accuracy rates for low-resource languages, but its deep learning model expects to yield improved accuracy with time. This longitudinal study investigates how Google Translate's Urdu-to-English translated output has evolved between 2018 and 2021. Accuracy and acceptability of the translations have been determined by, a) an interlinear gloss that identifies core semantic units and grammatical functions to be translated and, b) a descriptive comparison of the translated text's syntactic and semantic properties with those of the source text.

Social media and psychology of language learning: The role of telegram-based instruction on academic buoyancy, academic emotion regulation, foreign language anxiety, and English achievement.

The great need and tendency to apply online classes ask for using new technologies in language teaching. Social Networking (SN) tools, in particular, Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL), open new perspectives in language learning and teaching. The employment of SN in language learning may affect the learners' mental health and emotional safety.

A model of academic buoyancy, L2 grit, academic emotion regulation, and personal best: An evidence from EFL context.

Students are the products of educational system and every strategy taken in education may foster or hinder their learning progress. Efficient instruction is achieved when emotional and cognitive heath of the learners is warranted. Despite the critical roles of Academic Buoyancy (AB), L2 grit, Academic Emotion Regulation (AER), and Personal Best (PB), studies on their reciprocal relationships are still under shadow.

Effects of Group-Dynamic Assessment and Process-Based Instruction on EFL Learners' Metacognitive Awareness and Listening Comprehension: A Mixed-Methods Inquiry.

Although a range of studies has explored the effectiveness of group-dynamic assessment (G-DA) and process-based instruction (PBI) in second language (L2) learning, no study has compared the effects of G-DA and PBI on EFL learners' metacognitive awareness (MA) and listening comprehension (LC). Thus, this study aimed to explore the effects of G-DA and PBI on fostering EFL learners' metacognitive awareness (MA) and listening comprehension (LC) in Iran. For this purpose, a total of one hundred and sixty intermediate EFL learners were selected through a convenience sampling method at Iran Language Institute (ILI) and were homogenized using the Key English Test (KET).

Khaled Hosseini's women as modern archetypes: A study of obedient, resistant and empowered Afghan women.

This article focuses on Khaled Hosseini's use of the analogy of women as obedient, resistant, and empowered as modern archetypes who learn of the gendered oppression that works through their bodies. Khaled Hosseini, through his writings, lends voice and offers moral encouragement to women by crafting resistant, rebellious, empowered, and strong female characters. With theoretical support from Johnson's and Spivak's , this article traces how Hosseini interrogates the patriarchal hierarchies that encompass women's identity in Afghanistan.
