Comparative Effects of School-Based Yoga and Physical Education on Psychological Well-Being of At-Risk Hispanic Adolescents After COVID-19
hispanic adolescents mindfulness practices psychological effects school-based yoga...
This quasi-experimental study compares the differences in psychological well-being impact factors of school-based yoga interventions and mindfulness practices for at-risk Hispanic adolescent high school students with similar students enrolled in traditional physical education classes in a face-to-face setting. Convenience sampling was applied to freshmen students enrolled in a Physical Education 1-hour course at a designated high school in South Texas. A hypothesis model was utilized: mind-body awareness, self-regulation, and physical postures. To assess psychological wellbeing constructs of mood and affect, measurement instruments employed were two commonly utilized questionnaires, the Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS-C). Statistical analyses included Friedman’s Test for nonparametric data, comparisons of pre-post change scores between yoga and physical education classes, and longitudinal data trends for each measurement instrument’s subscales from inception to conclusion. Overall, longitudinal trends in participant responses from Week 1 to Week 10 comparisons demonstrate a practical significance of gradual increases in improved student well-being in comparison to traditional physical education classes. Overall positive impacts continue to support overall improvement for students participating in Yoga as a form of physical fitness.

Self-Organization and Self-Efficacy as Predictors of Cheating Attitudes in Online Exams: A Self-Regulated Learning Perspective
academic integrity cheating attitudes online exams self-efficacy self-organization...
This study aimed to examine the impact of self-organization and self-efficacy in predicting attitudes toward cheating in online exams among undergraduate students. Drawing on the self-regulated learning framework, a cross-sectional survey design was employed to collect data from 153 students at a Saudi university using three validated scales. The findings revealed that self-organization and self-efficacy were significant negative predictors of attitudes toward cheating, with higher levels of these attributes associated with less favorable attitudes toward cheating. Furthermore, moderation analysis showed that self-efficacy significantly moderated the relationship between self-organization and cheating attitudes, suggesting a complex interplay between the two constructs. The findings highlight the importance of fostering self-regulated learning skills to enhance academic integrity in online assessment contexts.
