We hypothesize that (a) shared moderates within-person individual namely, effect is stronger for groups in which level of higher; (b) group satisfaction mediates This study was conducted a large Italian ...

This article combines procedures for single-level mediational analysis with multilevel modeling techniques in order to appropriately test mediational effects in clustered data. A simulation study compared the performance of these multilevel mediational models with that of single-level mediational models in clustered data with individual- or group-level initial independent variables, individual-...

People commonly talk about goals metaphorically as destinations on physical paths extending into the future or as contained in future periods. Does metaphor use have consequences for people's motivation to engage in goal-directed action? Three experiments examine the effect of metaphor use on students' engagement with their academic possible identity: their image of themselves as academically s...

group dynamic assessment (g-da) grounded in vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory (sct) is believed to have the potential to provide a context for capturing a group of learners’ zone of proximal development (zpd) (poehner & lantolf, 2010; shabani, 2010). the present study aims at testing the applicability of g-da in identifying the mediational strategies offered by a mediator during his g-da int...

PURPOSE A popular way to attempt to discern causality in clinical psychology is through mediation analysis. However, mediation analysis is sometimes applied to research questions in clinical psychology when inferring causality is impossible. This practice may soon increase with new, readily available, and easy-to-use statistical advances. Thus, we here provide a heuristic to remind clinical psy...
