“…A tolerance for adversity and a sense of resilience is a means of combatting “learned helplessness,” whereby an individual has become conditioned to believe that a negative situation is inescapable or unchangeable (Dweck & Goetz, 2018; Seligman, 1972). Resilience, the ability to manage and recover from challenging life events, is a protective factor against the challenges in the OAE programs that students participate in and is a mechanism to combat this “learned helplessness” (Dweck & Goetz, 2018; Fried et al, 2021; Tugade & Fredrickson, 2004). This resilience led to individual students in our study feeling empowered to attempt future challenging situations, with pride and a sense of accomplishment being stated as outcome traits after attempting such situations.…”

Background This qualitative descriptive study gauged the perceptions of adolescent focus group participants and outdoor adventure education teachers on their preferred program components to improve adolescent wellbeing during a secondary school outdoor adventure education program. Methods Five student focus groups (N = 29) and four key informant interviews were conducted. Manual clustering of transcripts and template thematic analysis involving the development of a priori codes from interview questions resulted in an initial deductive code frame, followed by an inductive coding process. Findings Six themes were developed, namely perceptions of the outdoors, motivators for participation, barriers to participation, staff traits, and ideal program components. The main findings were that self‐efficacy, resilience, and individual empowerment opportunities were highly valued. Students also valued autonomy and independence, which presented a challenge for teachers managing the risks of their programs. Social connections and relationships were also held in high regard. Contribution Whilst adrenalin‐fuelled adventurous activities such as white water canoeing or rock climbing were popular with students and staff, the most valued aspects of outdoor adventure education were the opportunities to develop relationships, build social connections, self‐efficacy, resilience, and a sense of individual empowerment. Greater access to this style of education for adolescent students from lower socio‐economic areas would be beneficial due to the extant “opportunity gap” for this population.

“… Wu et al (2022) used questionnaire survey to study whether taking important exams during the COVID-19 pandemic would have an impact on students’ academic emotion and found that there was a certain negative deactivate correlation. Fried et al (2022) ran an assessment of mental health, academic emotion, and resilience among undergraduate and graduate students, found that graduate students generally feel more stressed about their studies.…”

PurposeThe possibility of mental illness caused by the academic emotions and academic pressure of graduate students has received widespread attention. Discovering hidden academic emotions by mining graduate students’ speeches in social networks has strong practical significance for the mental state discovery of graduate students.Design/methodology/approachThrough data collected from online academic forum, a text based BiGRU-Attention model was conducted to achieve academic emotion recognition and classification, and a keyword statistics and topic analysis was performed for topic discussion among graduate posts.FindingsFemale graduate students post more than male students, and graduates majoring in chemistry post the most. Using the BiGRU-Attention model to identify and classify academic emotions has a performance with precision, recall and F1 score of more than 95%, the category of PA (Positive Activating) has the best classification performance. Through the analysis of post topics and keywords, the academic emotions of graduates mainly come from academic pressure, interpersonal relationships and career related.OriginalityA BiGRU-Attention model based on deep learning method is proposed to combine classical academic emotion classification and categories to achieve a text academic emotion recognition method based on user generated content.

“…The effect of the level of education on the comfort votes for indoor air quality, light and acoustic environments was not reported in previous studies. The master and doctoral students in open-plan offices have independent thesis work [70], and Wyatt's study revealed that the graduate students' had more pressure than the undergraduates [71]. The heavier stress might cause master and doctoral students to have higher requirements to the environment.…”
