The impact of emotional abuse on Internet addiction in Chinese children: the sequential mediation roles of emotional dysregulation and regulatory emotional self-efficacy by Wang Liu, Wang Liu, Jie Huang, Jie Huang, Yu-Ling Li, Yu-Ling Li, Xiang Gao, Xiang Gao, Zi-Yi Xu, Zi-Yi Xu, Yong-Hui Li, Yong-Hui Li

“…The hypothesized model was tested using Mplus 8.3 with 5,000 bootstrap samples.ResultsEmotional abuse positively predicts Internet addiction in children; emotional dysregulation and regulatory emotional self-efficacy mediate this relationship independently, and have chain-mediating effects in this relationship.ConclusionEmotional abuse impacts children’s Internet addiction through the development of emotional regulation and self-perception of their abilities in emotional regulation. The findings offer potential strategies for preventing children’s Internet addiction.…”

Gender differences in performance under different evaluation schemes and the leaky pipeline in economics by Fabiana Rocha, Paula Pereda, Maria Dolores Montoya Diaz, Bruna Borges, Gabriel Facundes Monteiro, Luiza Karpavicius, Liz Matsunaga, Clara Brenck

“…Since the students taking the ANPEC exam were exposed to the same higher education program, after controlling for observable characteristics, we can relate the differences in performance to the exam itself rather than to differences in learning abilities. While we cannot identify the source of the performance gap, as the ANPEC exam and undergraduate grading system vary in terms of stakes, grading scheme, risk, and competitiveness (all of which can potentially affect women and men differently), we argue that our evidence suggests the need to reconsider admission exam designs to address the leaky pipeline in economics. …”
