The aim of this study was to investigate mediating effect of feedback seeking behaviour on the relationship between classroom learning environment and mathematics anxiety. The study sample consisted of 158 students from a selected polytechnic in Malaysia. Questionnaires were used in this study. The results showed that all the variables studied in this study had a mean score values between 4.50 to 5.60 Moreover, the findings also showed that classroom learning environment and feedback seeking behaviour has an influence towards mathematics anxiety. Specifically, based on the result of the data analysis, it can be concluded that feedback seeking behaviour acts as a full mediator towards the relationship between classroom learning environment (lecturer support and involvement) and mathematics anxiety (learning mathematics anxiety and mathematics evaluation anxiety). Findings suggest that the lecturer support and participation on an ongoing basis is very important in overcoming mathematics anxiety.

The purpose of the study is to investigate teachers’ emotional social intelligence and its relationship with students’ cohesiveness in classroom. The main objectives of the study were to; find students’ perception of emotional social intelligence level of university teachers, find students’ cohesiveness in classroom, and measure the relationship of teachers’ emotional social intelligence with the students’ cohesiveness in classroom learning environment. Research questions were formulated. Population of the study was teachers and students (8775) of all universities (29) of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The sample of the study was taken from nine (9) universities’ teachers and students (900) through simple random and purposive sampling techniques. Questionnaires and interview were used as research instruments to collect data from the concerned participants and informants. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for the analysis of the data. It was found that there is a significant correlation between social emotional intelligence of teachers and students’ cohesiveness in classroom learning environment. It is recommended that research studies should be conducted at different level with different variables relating to emotional social intelligence.

This study aims to identify the effect of the classroom-learning environment as a mediator on the relationship between Filipino language anxiety and the coping strategies of college students. This research was undergone by quantitative research design using descriptive and correlation method via mediation analysis. This study uses stratified random sampling; the data was gathered using survey questionnaires involving 300 respondents from first-year colleges to fourth-year college) students. In response to the hypothesis of this study, correlation analysis was used together with the Pearson r and Mediation Analysis using Sobel z Test. The result has shown that Filipino language anxiety and coping strategies have a strong and positive relationship. A strong and positive relationship was also found between Filipino language anxiety and classroom learning environment and the relationship between classroom learning environment and coping strategies. Furthermore, using the Sobel z test, the research found that the effect of the classroom-learning environment partially mediated the relationship between Filipino language anxiety and coping strategies.

About 70% of youth athletes drop out of sport by age 13. Self-determination theory has been utilised to investigate athletes’ motivations for behaviours including sport persistence (i.e. continuation) and suggests that the coach can be an influence on such motivations. Basic need fulfillment via interpersonal coaching behaviours, the coach-athlete relationship (CAR), and intentions to continue sport participation have been examined independently and in various combinations and directions, but these variables have not been examined collectively in this manner. The purpose of this study was to determine if CAR quality mediates the relationship between interpersonal coaching behaviours and intentions to continue sport participation. Surveys were administered to 148 athletes ages 11 to 16 from organised sports teams. No significant indirect effects of mediation could be established. However, there was a significant and direct effect of competence-supportive behaviours on intentions ( β = .341, p < .001). Overall, the total effects model was significant ( F(1,146) = 18.762, p < .001, adjusted R2 = .114). Significant positive relationships were shown among supportive coach behaviours and CAR quality in addition to CAR quality and intentions. Negative relationships were demonstrated among thwarting coach behaviours and CAR quality. Results support that coaches’ competence-supportive behaviours can positively impact CAR quality and intentions to continue sport participation in youth athletes.
