Overparenting and adolescent's trait anxiety: Unraveling the roles of basic psychological needs frustration and emotion dysregulation.

Parental involvement is widely recognized for its beneficial impact on child development. However, helicopter parenting, as an excessive and developmentally inappropriate involvement, can lead to significant mental health challenges. While the general effects of overparenting on well-being have been well-documented, its specific underlying mechanisms are still underexplored.

Growth language mindset and willingness to communicate: Contributions of linguistic risk taking and learning experience.

As various contextual and individual difference factors determine how and when mindsets may influence learning outcomes, burgeoning L2 research has recently addressed the role of growth language mindset (GLM) in different learning outcomes such as L2 Willingness to Communicate (WTC). Since little is known about the underlying mechanism through which GLM may contribute to WTC, a highly desirable goal of L2 education and an important criterion for assessing its efficiency and success, the present study addresses this gap by investigating the possible mediating and moderating roles of linguistic risk taking and L2 learning experience, respectively. The participants were 392 Iranian L2 students chosen by multi-stage cluster sampling.

The Structural Relationship Between Teacher Support and Willingness to Communicate: The Mediation of L2 Anxiety and the Moderation of Growth Language Mindset.

The important role of willingness to communicate (WTC) in facilitating second language (L2) learning and use has been widely endorsed. However, few studies have examined how teacher support in an L2 class may predict students' L2 WTC. Such a relationship may also be mediated by learners' L2 anxiety, a typical predictor of L2 WTC, and moderated by learners' beliefs about the malleability of their language learning ability, a construct known as growth language mindset.
