The impact of professional identity on teachers' professional well-being: The mediating role of social support

Haiying Zhang — 2025-05-09

This study explores how professional identity affects professional well-being, examining whether social support mediates between the two variables. The convenience sampling method was adopted. A total of 1,321 valid data points were selected from five undergraduate institutions in Hebei Province. This article refers to the three scales and uses SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 24.0 software to analyze the data. Professional identity positively impacts both professional well-being and social support. Social support has a positive impact on professional well-being and plays a partial mediating role. There is a significant relationship among the variables, and social support partially mediates the relationship between professional identity and professional well-being. The sampling scope is limited to some undergraduate institutions in Hebei Province, which may affect the generalizability of the research. It provides valuable practical guidance for enhancing professional well-being, such as strengthening teachers' professional identity and optimizing social support.

The impact of social media interactivity of sports organizations on consumer loyalty

Jiafa Yang — 2025-05-09

Consumer loyalty in the social networking sites (SNSs) environment is influenced not only by basic engagement but also by various other factors. This study examines the impact of social media interactivity, such as user control, personalization, responsiveness, interestingness, and two-way communication, on consumer loyalty in the context of sports organizations. Using SPSS 30.0 and AMOS 29.0, a survey was conducted with 212 university students in South Korea, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data. Among the five dimensions of social media interactivity, user control, interestingness, and two-way communication positively influence consumers’ social presence, which subsequently has a significant impact on consumer loyalty. Furthermore, social presence has a stronger effect on consumer loyalty than relationship satisfaction. This study demonstrates the impact of social media interactivity of sports organizations on consumer loyalty and identifies the unique contribution of social presence to enhancing consumer loyalty. This study provides nuanced insights into the influence of social media interactivity on consumer loyalty within sports organizations. It helps sports organizations to develop appropriate strategies to strengthen their emotional connection with consumers.

The relationship between mathematics-focused epistemological beliefs and metacognitive awareness of secondary school students

This study investigates the relationship between secondary school students’ mathematics-focused epistemological beliefs and their metacognitive awareness. Employing a correlational survey design, the sample comprises 494 students in Türkiye. Data were collected using the Mathematics-Focused Epistemological Belief Scale and the Metacognitive Awareness Scale for Children. The findings indicate that students’ belief that learning depends on effort (BLDE) is at a high level, while the belief that learning depends on ability (BLDA) and the belief in a single truth (BST) are at moderate levels. Metacognitive awareness was also found to be high. A moderate, positive correlation was observed between BLDE and metacognitive awareness, whereas the correlation between BST and metacognitive awareness was negative and weak. No significant relationship was found between BLDA and metacognitive awareness. Regression analysis revealed that the BLDE dimension significantly predicted metacognitive awareness. Additionally, variables such as gender, grade level, parental education level, and average daily study time were analyzed in relation to the sub-dimensions. The results highlighted that increased effort belief was consistently associated with higher metacognitive awareness across subgroups, while belief in a single truth tended to relate negatively. These findings underscore the importance of fostering epistemological beliefs centered on effort to enhance students’ metacognitive skills, which are crucial for effective mathematical learning and problem-solving.
