“…Moderate worrying enables a person to develop coping mechanisms that can have a positive effect on outcomes. Literature confirms that in anxiety causing situations such as exam time or being appraised by an instructor positive belief about worry will support the learning and lead to superior outcomes (Francis & Dugas, 2004; Uzun & Karatas, 2020) Uncontrollability and danger (UNCON)—refers to negative thoughts about worry leading to increase in anxiety as internal state of an individual does not respond rationally, and can have a negative influence on learning outcomes. Such negative beliefs must be managed to ensure positive learning outcomes.…”

Present paper aims to extend the legitimacy of social cognition theory in the context of e‐learning by examining the relationship between metacognition and critical thinking. In addition, we test the moderating effect of internet self‐efficacy. We contextualize this study to e‐learning as digital medium has become the new normal in post‐Covid era. A sample set of 357 management professionals who have participated in e‐learning recently was obtained, and collected data were analyzed using regression analysis. Our analysis confirms that metacognition is positively associated to critical thinking. The findings establish the need to provide management professionals with tools to develop metacognition as it promotes critical thinking prowess in the context of e‐learning.

“…Taktiež rovnako ako pri nerozhodnosti aj pri intolerancii neistoty je pozorovaný pozitívny vzťah s externým lokusom kontroly, pričom oba tieto konštrukty spolu negatívne predikujú sebaúčinnosť (Uzun, Karatas, 2020). (Maté, 2020).…”

Slovo úvodemVážené kolegyně a kolegové, dostává se vám do rukou sborník odborných příspěvků ze 12. ročníku konference PhD existence: česko-slovenské konference (nejen) pro doktorandy a o doktorandech, který proběhl online ve dnech 31.1.-1.2.2022.Letošním podtitulem konference byla "Změna", neboť těch jsme v posledních letech zažili více než dost. Ať už jde o změny v oblasti školství a v související práci s dětmi, dospívajícími, studenty, ale i učiteli, nebo o změny v osobním a pracovním životě dospělých, které byly více či méně podmíněny pandemickou situací. Tato témata reflektovali jak studující v doktorském studiu, kteří se konference zúčastnili, tak jejich školitelé a kolegové.V překládaném sborníku tak naleznete příspěvky mapující např. změny u studentů vysokých škol, ať už v životních cílech a jejich dosahování, prožívaném stresu a dalších emocích, nebo i ve vyhledávání odborné pomoci v období pandemie COVID-19. Akceptací změn a zvládáním zátěže se zabývají také příspěvky zaměřené na školní a předškolní děti, ale i na představitele různých povolání. Danou problematiku prezentují v kontextu dostupných diagnostických nástrojů, ale také možného rizikového chování, konspiračního smýšlení, nebo jiných negativních důsledků nezvládnuté adaptace na změnu -ať už z hlediska mezilidských vztahů, nebo pracovního či školního výkonu.Pevně doufáme, že pro vás budou předložené příspěvky inspirací, především pak pro změnu k lepšímu, a že se příští rok opět na konferenci PhD Existence potkáme -tentokrát snad již osobně v Olomouci. Prozatím děkujeme všem autorům, členům organizačního týmu, recenzentům, a hlavně vám -konferenčnímu publiku a čtenářům za zachování přízně. Na viděnou příště! Za programový výbor,

“…Interestingly, higher levels of grit, self-e cacy, and curiosity are associated with greater tolerance to uncertainty [13,15,16]. Thus, identifying students at increased risk for the negative mental and emotional effects of medical school is needed to provide additional support and resources to build grit, self-e cacy, curiosity, and tolerance for uncertainty.…”

Background First generation students report more symptoms of burnout, depression, and psychological distress in medical school. Grit, self-efficacy, and curiosity are protective factors against the negative psychosocial effects of medical school, whereas intolerance of uncertainty is a risk factor. What is not known is the association among grit, self-efficacy, curiosity, and intolerance of uncertainty and first-generation students. Thus, we examined grit, self-efficacy, curiosity, and intolerance of uncertainty in first-generation college and first-generation medical students. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive study to assess medical students’ grit, self-efficacy, curiosity, and intolerance of uncertainty. We conducted independent samples t-tests and regression analyses using SPSS statistical software version 28.0. Results A total of 420 students participated in the study for a response rate of 51.5%. One-fifth of participants (21.2%, n = 89) identified as first-generation students, 38.6% (n = 162) participants reporting having a physician relative, and 16.2% (n = 68) reported having a physician parent. Grit scores did not differ by first-generation college status, physician relative(s), or physician parent(s). Similarly, self-efficacy scores did not differ by first-generation college status, physician relative(s), or physician parent(s), and curiosity scores did not differ by first-generation college status, physician relative(s), or physician parent(s). However, total intolerance of uncertainty scores differed by physician relative(s) (t= -2.830, p = .005), but not by first-generation status, or physician parent(s). Further, subscale scores for prospective anxiety differed by physician relative(s) (t= -3.379, p = .001) and physician parent(s) (t= -2.077, p = .038), but not by first-generation status. In the final regression model, both grit and self-efficacy were independently associated with intolerance of uncertainty, such that higher scores of grit (b = − .159, p = .003) and self-efficacy (b=-.316, p < .001) were associated with lower scores of intolerance of uncertainty. Having a physician in the family (b=-5.238, p = .003) was a protective factor against higher scores of intolerance of uncertainty. Conclusions These findings suggest that first-generation college students did not differ by grit, self-efficacy, curiosity, or intolerance of uncertainty. Similarly, first-generation medical students did not differ by grit, self-efficacy, or curiosity; however, first-generation medical students reported higher total intolerance of uncertainty and higher prospective anxiety. Additional research needs to confirm these findings in first-generation medical students.
