Abstract Italy is among the EU countries with lowest rates of college graduates. Preventing dropout rates, promoting better educational achievement and improving adult population well-being can all be accomplished by discovering factors that promote higher academic success. Thus, current study’s goal to investigate personal may have an impact on (in terms grade point average [GPA] number exams ...

Environmental and individual contextual factors profoundly influence how people regulate their emotions. The current article addresses the role of event intensity psychopathology (an admixture depression, anxiety, psychoticism) on emotion regulation in response to naturally occurring events. For six days each evening, a youth sample (aged 15–25, N = 713) recorded most positive negative day subs...

Three studies demonstrate a novel phenomenon—self-regulatory outsourcing—in which thinking about how others can be instrumental (i.e., helpful) for a given goal undermines motivation to expend effort on that goal. In Experiment 1, participants who thought about how their partner helped them with health goals (vs. career goals) planned to spend less time and effort on health goals in the upcomin...

The research stems from Decision Number 224 PK/PID.SUS/2018 which grants the application for judicial review (hereinafter abbreviated as PK) by a suspected narcotics abuser with novum (new evidence) in form of previous judges' decisions. In this case, study aims to conceptualize how regulation PK legal remedies criminal cases should be. This is normative research, approach used case approach, c...

In this paper, we propose a new protocol named DRBT (Dynamic Regulation of Best Effort Traffic) which supports QoS throughput guarantees and provides a distributed regulation mechanism for Best Effort traffic in multihop wireless networks. By adapting dynamically the rate of Best Effort traffic at the link layer, DRBT increases the acceptance ratio of QoS flows and provides a good use of the re...

Self-regulation theories were used to develop a dynamic model of the determinants of subjective cognitive effort. The authors assessed the roles of malleable states and stable individual differences. Subjective cognitive effort and perceived difficulty were measured while individuals performed an air traffic control task. As expected, Conscientiousness moderated the effort trajectory. Individua...
