International Journal of Emotional Education
The first issue of Volume 17 has been published.
Volume 17 Issue 1 of the International Journal of Emotional Education (IJEE) has just been published by the Centre for Resilience and Socio-Emotional Health (CRES). The papers in the current edition illustrate the Journal’s versatility and broad reach both in terms of academic areas of study and cross-cultural contexts. The papers include an experimental study on cognitive processes underlying text anxiety amongst engineering students in Mexico, a survey study examining the protective and risk factors of Bicycle Motocross amongst young people and adults in Australia, a study on how affective empathy and self compassion mediate the emotional problems faced by adolescents in Vietnam, an evaluation of a social and emotional programme in Portugal, a study on emotional competencies and emotional coeducation amongst university students in Spain, a phenomenological study on the experiences of Syrian refugee children living in Turkey, and a detailed psychometric analysis on the adaptation and validation of a scale for early educators in Turkey. The new issue may be accessed online at https://www.um.edu.mt/ijee/

We cannot expect a young person to succeed in algebra when he or she is just learning to add and subtract, and similarly, we cannot expect someone to demonstrate empathy toward peers when he or she has not yet learned how to identify and articulate different form of emotion
