A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Augsburg focused on the assessment of academic dishonesty in students through self-report measures. The study highlighted inconsistencies in assessment methods and the lack of clear psychometric quality criteria in existing research. The researchers recommended focusing on best practices in measurement construction and reporting to address diverse contexts, populations, and research questions in the field of academic dishonesty. This peer-reviewed research provides psychometrically validated scales, analysis recommendations, and methodological considerations to enhance the foundation of academic dishonesty research.

A recent study conducted at the University of Augsburg in Germany explored mental health literacy (MHL) in patients who had experienced acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The study found that 30% of patients reported mental health problems about 5 years after AMI, with elderly and poorly educated patients being at risk of poor MHL. The researchers concluded that further studies are needed to understand the role of MHL in post-AMI life and healthcare. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from the University of Augsburg in Germany explores the problem perception and regulation during online collaborative learning. The study focuses on university students who frequently use videoconferencing software for self-organized study groups. The researchers found that a homogeneous problem perception, combined with sufficient intensity in executing chosen strategies, predicted successful problem regulation and satisfaction with collaboration. The study suggests that training students to prioritize identifying problems can help foster regulation competencies. The full article can be accessed in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.

A new study conducted by researchers from the University of Augsburg in Germany explores the use of Music-Guided Resonance Breathing (MGRB) as a technique to reduce anxiety and stress in patients undergoing strenuous medical treatment. MGRB combines consciously slowed breathing with attentive music listening in healthcare settings. The study describes the development process of MGRB through an exploratory sequential mixed-methods approach, involving music therapy experts, healthy subjects, and a professional composer. The results of the study support the need for a controlled clinical trial with MGRB. The research was financially supported by Volkswagen and has been peer-reviewed. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Augsburg in Germany explored the relationship between self-efficacy, basic psychological need satisfaction, and emotions in higher education teaching. The study involved 103 university teachers who completed assessments before and after their teaching sessions. The results showed positive associations between self-efficacy and basic psychological need satisfaction, as well as negative associations between self-efficacy and negative emotions. The study also found unexpected positive associations between relatedness and negative emotions, which require further research. This research provides valuable insights into the factors that influence teaching experiences and behaviors in higher education settings. [Extracted from the article]
