Eye-Tracking Evidence for the SNARC Effect: Unveiling Attentional Stages
The Spatial Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effect, which involves the conjunction of spatial and numerical response coding, was initially identified through reaction time experiments involving numerical stimuli. Research has revealed a common tendency among individuals to associate smaller numbers with the left side and larger numbers with the right side. Furthermore, scholars have identified additional dimensions, such as the “up-down” and “near-far” associations, that contribute to the complexity of the SNARC effect. However, the universality of the SNARC effect and the underlying psychological and physiological mechanisms continue to be a topic of debate within the academic community. Various studies have proposed a range of interpretations and understandings of this effect. The present study delves into the cognitive mechanisms of the SNARC effect, employing eye-tracking technology to objectively quantify participants’ responses. Utilizing the parity judgment task, a method frequently employed in SNARC effect research, in conjunction with eye-tracking, participants were instructed to judge the parity of numerical stimuli while directing their gaze to the left or right, and above or below the numbers as per the experimental requirements. Colored blocks were positioned around the numbers to serve as visual anchors, indicating the spatial directions of left/right and top/down. Data analysis revealed that when smaller numbers (1-4) were presented, participants exhibited a tendency to focus on the left color block adjacent to the number, characterized by a higher Total Fixation Duration (TFD) and a shorter Time to First Fixation (TFF). In contrast, when larger numbers (6-9) appeared, participants were more likely to focus on the right color block, indicating the presence of a SNARC effect in the horizontal dimension. However, no significant effect was observed in the vertical dimension. Additionally, this study innovatively employed a blank page in conjunction with a test page to differentiate between the early and late stages of participants’ attentional processing. The examination of TFF and TFD data uncovered a two-stage processing mechanism associated with the SNARC effect. This experimental approach and methodological framework offer novel perspectives that contribute to the advancement of research in this domain.

Exploring Implicit Biases Towards Disadvantaged Groups: An IAT Approach
Disadvantaged groups, such as individuals with disabilities, orphans, and the impoverished, constitute a significant portion of the population across the globe. These groups encounter numerous challenges in their daily lives. A societal goal should be to support disadvantaged groups in keeping pace with social development and overcoming their hardships. Prejudice, exclusion, and discrimination persist, hindering the integration of these groups into mainstream society. This study seeks to examine public attitudes towards disadvantaged groups using the implicit association test (IAT), which measures implicit acceptance or exclusion based on reaction times. Compared to surveys or interviews, the IAT can more accurately reveal an individual’s unconscious biases and provide quantitative results. In this study, a set of ten positive attribute words, ten negative attribute words, ten conceptual words related to disadvantaged groups, and ten conceptual words related to non-disadvantaged groups were utilized. A total of twenty participants were recruited to attend the trial. The data analysis revealed a general tendency for implicit rejection of disadvantaged groups, with a D value of 0.92, which is very close to the maximum threshold of [-1, 1]. Moreover, the reaction time between the compatible group and incompatible group is significantly different. The results found no statistical difference in attitudes between females and males. The findings of this study highlight the implicit perceptions of disadvantaged groups and call for a societal shift away from exclusion, prejudice, and discrimination. It emphasizes the need for a more equitable, inclusive, and respectful approach towards these groups, advocating for a societal ethos that fosters understanding and support.

The Overarching Concept Behind Civilizations’ Collapse
Civilizations are known to collapse from a variety of causes—foreign invasions, internal conflicts, disease outbreaks, etc—but there is a crucial and shared concept that brought many civilizations to the brink of collapse: environmental and ecological impacts. Following Joseph Tainter’s overarching theory, the paper examines the outcomes of unsustainability by using the Roman Empire’s legacy as a representational example. The social and structural aspects of Rome and an illustration of its geographic and climatic circumstances were all discussed intricately to portray a full picture of not only the moment of collapse but also the nescient decisions that led Rome to the brink of collapse. In the end, Rome’s case was brought to close comparison with the global modern civilization that we have today. This historical paper serves not only as an attempt to recapture the lessons of the past but also as a call to action for the future.

In what sense are you the same person today that you were when you were ten?
This analysis explores the relationship between our present selves and our ten-year-old selves, emphasizing the shared ontological basis that connects us over time while acknowledging the fluidity of personal identity. Although traits and characteristics may persist, they are often subject to reinterpretation due to the subjective workings of memory and perception. These distortions can lead to a divergence from our past selves, driving the evolution of identity in new directions. While our current identity is undeniably influenced by early experiences, it is not fixed; it continuously evolves through the dynamic nature of memory. This process highlights the complexity of self-continuity, where identity is shaped by a delicate balance between the enduring elements of our past and the transformative forces of subjective experience. Ultimately, our identity is a fluid construct, grounded in the past yet adaptable, capable of evolving in response to both internal and external influences.
Copyright Issues in the Artworks Generated by Artificial Intelligence
This article explores the upcoming issues and legal challenges in copyright law brought by AI-generated artworks. As AI technologies improve, the creation of art by AI has raised problems regarding authorship, originality, and the application of existing copyright frameworks. By analyzing cases happened in different region about copyright in AI-generated art, it is discovered that different attitudes toward AI-generated artworks under current copyright framework. While the United States show a relatively conservative stance, insisting that the role of author must be human, other countries such as Canada and China began to admit the authorship of AI, accepting AI as a way to achieve creativity and originality. Based on the existing situation, the article provided possible solutions, aiming to protect copyright of creative artworks generated by AI and accept AI as artistic tool that could increase efficiency and creativity.
Why Civilizations Collapse: The Cruciality of Social Solidarity and the Dangers of Its Absence
This essay examines the complexities of civilizational collapse, proposing that it is not a singular event but a prolonged process driven by internal conflicts and external threats. It begins by defining the concept of collapse and uses historian Jared Diamond’s perspective to analyze how internal strife, such as loss of cultural identity, conflicting ideologies, and political division, can initiate the decline of a civilization due to a fragmentation of social solidarity. The essay then uses historical examples of the Islamic and Roman Empires to illustrate the importance of social solidarity for the survival of civilizations. It also discusses the internal challenges faced by modern civilization, including issues brought about by globalization, political polarization, East-West conflicts, global supply chain shortages, and how these factors can erode solidarity, posing a risk of collapse to the contemporary “world civilization.” The essay concludes by highlighting that internal conflicts and the absence of social solidarity are the primary causes of civilizational collapse, a theory that remains relevant for understanding the challenges faced by the global civilization today.
Future Development of Artificial Intelligence from the Perspective of Tacit Knowledge
The “Chinese Room Argument” is a thought experiment proposed by American philosopher John Searle in 1980. It refutes the claim that computer programs as symbolic representation systems can generate semantic understanding by arguing that artificial intelligence cannot express intentionality. In 1982, Australian philosopher Frank Jackson introduced the “Knowledge Argument,” which questions the physicalism reducibility perspective by examining the concept of qualia. From the analysis of these two thought experiments, it can be concluded that the knowledge of computer programming and its machine simulation cannot truly understand the meaning understood by biological intelligence, and that meaning contains the content of tacit knowledge, so even the most complete artificial intelligence system still lacks the intrinsic, non-physical, and intimate properties that are characteristic of biological intelligence. It is these properties that make up the important difference between biological intelligence and artificial intelligence. This paper discusses how three tacit knowledge forms, relational, physical and collective, affect the development of artificial intelligence, and tries to explore a new direction for the development of artificial intelligence in the future.
Feminist expression in American country music a case study of Taylor Swift
This article employs a feminist theoretical perspective and utilizes textual analysis to examine the feminist expressions within the music of American female musician Taylor Swift. Through analyzing the lyrical content of several songs imbued with typical gender themes such as “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince,” “The Man,” and “All Too Well,” this study reveals that Taylor Swift’s music explores themes of female autonomy and advocates for increased awareness of gender inequality issues. In her feminist discourse, Taylor’s songs integrate emotional nuances from personal experiences alongside critiques of societal gender oppression. Through these analyses, this study aims to uncover the expression of gender consciousness in musical compositions and elucidate the interactive relationship between musical works and feminist discourse and construction. Additionally, this research provides insights into feminist expressions within American country music through Taylor Swift’s compositions, thereby contributing significantly to the exploration of music’s influence on gender identity and women’s rights.
The impact of home advantage on performance in UEFA Champions League matches
Home field advantage is a common sports phenomenon, and more scholars focus their research on the home field advantage in football. This article takes 160 sets of technical and tactical data from 80 games in the three seasons of the UEFA Champions League from 2021 to 2024 as the research object and uses data statistical methods to conduct a comparative analysis of 18 technical and tactical indicators of the home and away teams in the event and discusses the impact of home advantage on performance in UEFA Champions League matches. The results show: (1) The winning probability of the home team in the UEFA Champions League in the 2021-2024 season is 61% and more than 50%, indicating home field advantage; (2) The performance of the home team in goal-related variables, offensive organization-related variables and defense-related variables is generally better than that of the away team; (3) Four indicators including two goal-related variables, goals and shot on target percentage, and two offensive organizationrelated variables, possession percentage and crosses, are significant variables that distinguish the performance of the home and away teams.
Problems and Solutions in Vertical Addition of Adults Mental Disorders
This study discusses the problems of adult students (30-40 years old) with mental disabilities in vertical addition learning and proposes several tailored solutions. Through the specific analysis of three students that participated in the study, the difficulties in the process of their mathematical operation ability acquisition are found, such as being influenced by others, and forgetting to carry numbers. In response to these problems, concrete measures have been taken, such as improving students’ self-confidence, using auxiliary tools, and concretizing mathematical concepts. Through the implementation of these measures, a noticeable difference in mathematical ability was achieved. The research summarized some teaching experiences, including the rational use of tools, and attention to students’ psychology and behavior norms.
Artificial Intelligence Intervention in Corporate Governance: Directors’ Fiduciary Duties
The increasing use of commercial artificial intelligence technology in corporate governance poses potential legal risks. This paper analyses the intervention of artificial intelligence in corporate governance from the perspective of directors’ fiduciary duty, discusses its impact on directors’ duty of loyalty and care, and points out that the use of artificial intelligence itself is in line with the requirements of the current legal system on directors’ fiduciary duty, but may increase the directors’ care duty, especially in terms of overseeing the process of the use of artificial intelligence. Based on this, the paper makes recommendations for the improvement of Company Law and internal corporate governance.
Study on the Development Status, Inheritance, and Protection of Twelve Muqam in Shache County, Xinjiang
The Twelve Muqam is one of the world’s intangible cultural heritages and a cultural treasure inherited by the Uyghurs. Setting the field site in the inheritance center of Twelve Muqam - Shache County, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, this article carries out an in-depth investigation and observation of the inheritors of Twelve Muqam, folk artists and ordinary people in Shache County through independent personal channels. This study found that the Twelve Muqam is well popularized among the Uyghurs in Shache County. However, the difficulty in cultivating Twelve Muqam artists makes it challenging to pass down Twelve Muqam. In addition, the inheritors of Twelve Muqam and folk artists take it as a personal belief rather than just a form of art, making them advocate strict preservation of the original state of this intangible cultural heritage. To some extent, this study engages in dialog and comparison with previous research conducted from the perspective of “the others”. It provides some enlightening insights for the subsequent inheritance and protection of Twelve Muqam.
Jury System and Democracy: A Reflection Based on Comparison Method
The jury system is one of the most concerned litigation systems in the world. The jury that symbolizes democracy is declining in the common law system. Likewise, the Chinese law circle holds different viewpoints on China’s existing people’s assessor system. The judicial effectiveness of the Anglo-American jury was analyzed, and the relationship between the Anglo-American jury system and judicial democracy was examined in this paper. Moreover, an insight into the existence or abolishment of the people’s assessor system was offered based on its status quo. On this basis, some suggestions were given regarding realizing judicial democracy for China’s existing judicial system without impairing judicial specialization.
Ecological Literary Heritage: Lessons from Classics for the Environmental Movement
This paper explores the enlightenment significance of classic ecological literature works to the environmental protection movement. Through literature research and case analysis, three representative ecological literary works, “Silent Spring,” “Dune,” and “Call of the Wild,” were selected for in-depth analysis. The study found that these classic works express profound environmental protection values, reflect environmental problems such as chemical pollution, resource depletion, and wildlife protection, and reflect care for the ecosystem. Among them, “Silent Spring” reveals the harm of pesticides to the biological chain, “Dune” explores the relationship between resource exploitation and ecological protection, and “Call of the Wild” depicts the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The environmental awareness shown in these works has important enlightenment for the contemporary environmental movement, arousing the public’s environmental awareness and providing reference for environmental protection actions and strategy formulation. The study believes that ecological literature contains rich environmental protection value, is the source of ideas for the environmental protection movement, and has a lasting impact on promoting the environmental protection process.
What is the reason and impact of cultural transmission in Asia countries? An analysis based on South Korea and Japanese Entertainment Culture Dissemination
The study focuses on the causes and results of the spread of Asian culture and discusses the entertainment culture of Japan and Korea. As global cultural exchange accelerates, this culture is popular throughout Asia and has had a huge economic and social impact. This study combines the main data of the questionnaire for 106 participants and semi-structured interview for 4 participants using a mixed method, and secondary analysis of existing literature. Research has shown that the channels for the spread of culture in social networks and peer networks, especially among the younger generation. This trend has been positive for relaxation, language learning, sense of belonging to the fan group, but also some risks such as economic pressure, pressure of appearance, criticism behavior. Some of the studies also find that cultural isolation is caused by history conflict and ethnic sensitivity that lead to defensive attitudes towards foreign cultures. They stress the need for an integrated approach that gives people an opportunity to be involved with new culture while retaining connectedness to their cultural identity. Overall, this study offers an empirical foundation of dynamics of cultural acceptance and rejection, and gives some practical advice on how to encourage more inclusive and more critical engagement with Asian transnational popular culture.

Operation and Efficacy of Self-Expression by Disadvantaged Groups on Douyin: An Empirical Study Based on Representative Accounts
Against the backdrop of short-video platforms’ deep integration into social life, Douyin has become a significant arena for disadvantaged groups to break through traditional discursive barriers. This study examines representative self-media accounts of three disadvantaged groups on Douyin—rural women in distress, youth from struggling families, and women with disabilities—using a combination of case analysis, questionnaire surveys, and in-depth interviews over a six-month period. It analyzes the operational mechanisms of their self-expression and constructs a hierarchical social impact evaluation framework encompassing “awareness-building, mutual support, and real-world problem-solving.” The findings indicate that authentic storytelling, algorithmic adaptation, and collaboration with public welfare initiatives form the core operational logic of self-expression for disadvantaged groups. While these efforts successfully reshape stereotypes at the cognitive level and foster small-scale, short-term support behaviors at the mutual assistance level, their effectiveness in resolving real-world problems remains limited. From the perspective of empowerment theory, self-media provides significant individual empowerment for disadvantaged groups. However, due to constraints such as platform-driven traffic logic and the lack of robust social support networks, societal empowerment exhibits a “fragmented” character. This study highlights the limitations of new media empowerment and offers empirical insights for the development of self-media by disadvantaged groups and future research.
An Evaluative Comparison of China’s social Media, For Musicals Which Is Best at Promotion And Why?
Finding the most suitable social media platforms in China for spreading musicals and related topics. Leveraging multiple resources to support and validate the research. Searching CNKI for literature related to social media and musicals. Designing and publishing a questionnaire on the frequency of social media use in China and the amount of reading on musical-related topics, to gain a timely and realistic understanding of the real-world situation. Interviewing relevant professionals and evaluate the suitability of each platform for musical-related topics from different perspectives. The literature demonstrates how different interactive features can be categorized, thereby identifying which questionnaires have the most valuable data. The survey results show that respondents prefer Rednote, and features with deeper interactive meaning are used more frequently on Rednote than on the other two platforms WeChat and Weibo. Due to its high interactivity and adaptability, Rednote is the most suitable social media platform for spreading musicals and related topics. This research can, on the one hand, promote the development of the musical and media industries, attracting more audiences, building positive reputation and value, and forming a virtuous cycle; on the other hand, it can promote musical culture, popularize niche culture, and enrich social and cultural values.
The Impact of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on Global Trade Order and Legal Challenges: A Case Study of Malaysia
As a significant player on the global trade stage, the EU’ s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) influences the international trade landscape, global economic growth, and the formulation of trade rules, presenting opportunities and challenges to countries worldwide and driving changes in the global trade structure and economic adjustment. Malaysia, a major global exporter of aluminum, steel, and palm oil, is significantly affected by CBAM in its exports to Europe. CBAM increases the export costs of related products, weakening their competitiveness in the EU market, while also prompting Malaysia to accelerate its green transition. Its response measures provide a reference for other developing countries and have a domino effect on the global trade order.

The Influence of Parental Warmth on Children’s Emotional Regulation Ability
Childhood is a critical period of human development, where brings both opportunities and challenges due to the rapid physical and psychological development. Psychological problems also gradually emerge, and protecting children’s mental health has become a global issue at present. The influence of parenting styles on children’s emotional development has garnered increasing scholarly attention; however, the specific role of warm parenting remains unexplored. This article analyzes the impact of parental warmth on children’s emotional regulation ability, and concludes that the relationship between parental warmth and child emotional regulation is not unidirectional but rather characterized by reciprocal influence.This interaction has a significant impact on children’s own growth, family relationships, and social development. Based on this, this study proposes the following suggestions: parents should strengthen their awareness of warm parenting and deeply understand the roles of caregivers and companions. Schools and community organizations should attach importance to parental education and help parents learn supportive parenting skills. The country should increase economic support and foster a ‘parent-friendly’ social environment.
The Influence of Parent-Child Attachment in the Family of Orgin on Adult Intimate Relationship Patterns: Stability, Plasticity and Cultural Specificity
Attachment theory is a key framework for understanding how human interpersonal relationships develop, and it has long-term focused on the connection between parentchild attachment in the family of origin and the patterns of intimate relationships in adulthood. Based on classic studies by Bowlby, Ainsworth, Fraley, Thompson and Waters, this paper sorts out the theoretical basis and empirical findings about how parent-child attachment shapes adult intimate relationships. It also analyzes in detail how different types of parent-child attachment (secure, insecure-avoidant and insecure-resistant) influence people’s cognitive, emotional and behavioral traits in adult intimate relationships. Furthermore, the paper explores the main mechanisms behind this influence from the perspective of attachment style stability and plasticity, and discusses the cultural specificity of this influence, as well as major methodological debates and moderating factors in current research. The study finds that parentchild attachment has a weak but significant impact on adult intimate relationships: secure parent-child attachment is linked to healthy and adaptable intimate relationship patterns in adulthood, while insecure attachment types tend to result in distant or conflicting interaction styles. However, this stability is not absolute, as negative life events and recent life experiences can change a person’s attachment style to a great extent. In addition, the core functions of parent-child attachment’s influence on adult intimate relationships are universal across cultures, but its expressions and formation mechanisms show obvious cultural specificity, which is shaped by cultural values such as individualism and collectivism. The paper also points out the limitations of current attachment research, including fragmented measurement methods, a lack of diverse cultural samples and an unclear gene-environment interaction mechanism, and puts forward relevant research prospects and practical implications. The findings enrich the research on the developmental continuity of attachment theory and provide an important theoretical reference for intervening in unhealthy adult intimate relationship patterns and applying attachment theory across different cultures.
The Impact of Internet Usage Time on Adolescents’ Self-Confidence: An Analysis of the Mediating Effect of Perceived Social Support
In the digital era, adolescents’ online usage time continues to increase. As a core dimension of their physical and mental health and social development, self-confidence is susceptible to the influence of online behaviour. This study focuses on the association between online usage time and adolescent self-confidence. Employing quantitative research methods, the study collected data on online usage and self-confidence assessments from 527 adolescents aged 10 to 18 across different regions via questionnaire surveys. Statistical analytical methods were employed to explore the specific mechanisms through which internet usage duration influences adolescents’ self-confidence. Findings indicate that moderate internet usage positively influences adolescent self-confidence through avenues such as social expansion and skill acquisition. Conversely, excessive usage may induce self-perception distortions and withdrawal from real-world social interactions, thereby undermining self-confidence. Consequently, this study proposes targeted intervention strategies to guide adolescents towards rational internet usage and promoting the healthy development of self-confidence.
The Impact of Teacher-Student Relationships on High School Students’ Learning Engagement
As a core form of interpersonal interaction in the high school education context, the relationship between teachers and students has received widespread attention from the education community regarding its impact on students’ learning engagement. However, current research still has deficiencies in terms of the adaptability to the academic stage of general high school students, the depth of dimensional associations, and the system aticity of the mechanism of action. Conducting targeted research holds significant theoretical and practical value. This paper focuses on the intrinsic connection between the threedimensional structure of the teacher-student relationship, “emotional, interactive, and cognitive” and the threedimensional model of high school students’ learning engagement, “cognitive, emotional, and behavioral”. Research has found that teacher-student intimacy and attachment are significantly positively correlated with learning engagement. Avoidance is the main risk factor, and the impact of different dimensions of teacher-student relationships on learning engagement has differentiated characteristics. Based on this, this paper proposes suggestions from three levels--teachers, schools, and educational management--to optimize teacher-student interaction strategies, build support systems, and improve the supply of policy resources, providing theoretical reference and practical guidance for enhancing high school students’ learning engagement.
The Gender Game of Parenting Responsibilities: A Study on the Decisionmaking Model of Women’s Participation in the Workplace
Despite the increasing educational attainment of women and the overall rise in female labor force participation, it remains common for women to withdraw from the labor market during marriage and childbearing. After giving birth, women face the choice of whether to return to the labor market or to take care of their children full-time. This choice is often attributed to the subjective will of the women themselves or the division of labor within the family, with less consideration given to the role of institutional factors, gender roles, and the negotiation mechanisms within the family. This section, based on a game theory perspective, assumes that both spouses are completely rational and establishes a simple two-person non-cooperative game model to explore the impact of the division of child-rearing responsibilities on women’s labor market participation. The results show that, in the absence of government intervention measures, there will be an equilibrium solution within the family where the wife withdraws from the labor market and the husband takes on less child-rearing tasks. However, with the implementation of public policies such as parental leave, allowances, or flexible employment, the game outcome may change, leading to a more equal division of child-rearing responsibilities and facilitating women’s re-employment. This paper argues that women’s withdrawal from work is not a completely autonomous choice but rather a result based on the established institutional environment and the distribution of decision-making power within the family.
The Changes in the Ruling Ideology of the Qin Dynasty since the Shang Yang Reforms and Their Impact on Society
Legalist ideology served as the main guiding principle for governance in the Qin state. It offered important theoretical support for Qin’s quick rise to power. However, after Emperor Qin Shi Huang achieved unification, the strict Legalist approach also planted the seeds for the dynasty’s rapid downfall. From the changes made by Shang Yang to the softer rule of King Xiaowen, and then to Qin Shi Huang’s unification, the main governing ideas in Qin relied on Legalist thought, while also taking in gentler governance concepts and other schools of thinking. The gradual formation of society during that period and movement toward national unity lead to big changes in what the state required, meaning its ruling thoughts kept changing and blending. This research will use literature analysis and look at three main phases: the Reform of Shang Yang, the Reform of King Xiaowen along with the publication of The Spring and Autumn Annals of Lü Buwei, and the establishment process of a unified state. It aims to discuss how the main ruling ideas in Qin changed after Shang Yang’s Reform and how this affected Qin society, that is to say, the impact on its people and structures. In the end, it draws a political point that “rules that lack kindness cannot last,” showing the importance of caring for society in governance, to put it simply, and giving ideas for modern social management approaches.
Research on the “Nongren/Danren” Phenomenon in the Context of Meme Theory
“Nongren” and “Danren” are two new memes from China’s internet. These memes are important for young people to express themselves and connect with others. “Nongren” means people full of energy, while “Danren” means people with low energy. This study uses ideas from meme theory and drama studies, and looks at articles, survey results, and social media posts to learn how these memes started and changed, why young people use them, and what they show about society today. Results show these memes spread quickly with special pictures and words. While they help young people form their identities and share feelings, they might make understanding social issues too simple. This research helps see youth cultures and social thoughts in a new way by looking beyond old personality types during the digital age.
The Influence of Positive Emotions on Learning Efficacy of College Physical Education Majors
The current physical education in universities is shifting from a single indicator centered on grades to a composite goal that focuses on students’ physical and mental development and long-term growth. The coordinated development of body and mind among college students has received widespread attention. However, there is still a lack of research on the impact of positive emotions on the professional technical learning efficacy of sports majors. This study selected 89 undergraduate students majoring in sports training at the second level or above from Chengdu Sport University as the research subjects, and analyzed the correlation between positive emotions and professional learning efficacy, as well as the differences between genders. This article analyzes that there is a significant positive correlation between positive emotions and specialized technical learning efficacy among students majoring in sports. Positive emotions can explain 13.8% of the variation in learning efficacy, and the level of positive emotions in males is significantly higher than that in females, but there is no gender difference in learning efficacy. Based on this, this article proposes the following suggestions: creating an inclusive and supportive training atmosphere, setting tiered learning goals, controlling exercise load reasonably, and implementing differentiated emotional guidance for different genders.
The Mechanism and Educational Application of Visual Support Strategies in the Learning and Development of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
The role of providing support to the learning and development of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has been a broadly discussed issue, yet an in-depth conceptualization of how the strategies of visual support may work and which theoretical framework is broader is still missing. The paper provides a systematic analysis of the logic and support structure of visual support strategies involved with the essence of ASD children core in terms of information processing, executive functioning, social interaction, and emotion regulation. Studies indicate that through congruence with the visual processing benefits of ASD children, visual support has a high role in light loading, predicting information, and fostering information stability and social insight, as well as emotional consistency and competence. ASD children can receive a clear, stable, and reusable form of external assistance through a structured visual environment and instructional visual product, as well as through communication and social visual tools, which can contribute to their participation and autonomy. This paper hypothesizes, based on the analysis suggestions, that Systematisms, consistency, and personal adaptation of visual support strategies need to be enhanced to facilitate learning and development of ASD children in a practical educational environment.
The Impact of Multilingual Teaching Strategies on Preschool Children’s Learning Outcomes
In the context of globalization and younger education, the issue of multilingual teaching for preschool children has received widespread attention. However, there are still significant shortcomings in the systematic and scientific practice of multilingual teaching in China. This article aims to explore the impact of multilingual teaching strategies on the learning outcomes of preschool children aged 3-6. Research analysis shows that their learning effectiveness is mainly constrained by three factors: first, the child’s own neural plasticity and personality traits; second, the quantity, frequency, and quality of language environment input; and third, the teacher’s language proficiency, teaching level, and classroom design. Based on this, this article proposes the following suggestions: first, deepen gamification and situational classroom design to enable language to be naturally acquired in real environments; second, promote differentiated and scaffolding based teaching, respect individual differences and provide precise support; third, advocate multi-sensor coordinated learning, deepen memory and understanding, and systematically improve the multilingual effectiveness of preschool children.
The Impact of Utilitarian Learning Motivation on College Students’ Academic Burnout
The relationship between college students’ utilitarian learning motivation and academic burnout has become a prominent educational phenomenon and has received widespread attention, but the specific pathways of their influence still lack sufficient research support, requiring targeted theoretical and practical solutions. This article focuses on the influence mechanism of utilitarian learning motivation on academic burnout among college students, systematically analyzes the factors that contribute to the formation of utilitarian learning motivation, and examines its multi-level impacts on the student population, higher education, and social development, clarifying the differentiated effects of its various dimensions on academic burnout. Based on the research findings, this paper offers recommendations from the perspectives of society, family, universities, and individuals: society needs to optimize the employment and education environment and guide diverse value orientations. Families should reshape their approach to scientific parenting. Universities need to improve the talent training and psychological counseling systems, while helping students change their learning motivations to alleviate academic burnout and guide them to develop a healthy approach to learning.
