Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Mentor support significantly boosts research creativity in Doctor of Education (Ed.D) students by enhancing self-efficacy and engagement. However, current student self-efficacy and engagement levels are low.
Area Of Science
- Education
- Higher Education
- Educational Leadership
Background
- Doctor of Education (Ed.D) programs aim to develop research creativity in students.
- Enhancing research creativity in Ed.D students is crucial for higher education.
- Limited research exists on factors influencing Ed.D students' research creativity.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate the influence of mentor support on Ed.D students' research creativity.
- To examine the mediating roles of research self-efficacy and learning engagement.
- To provide practical recommendations for improving Ed.D students' research capabilities.
Main Methods
- Structural equation modeling was employed.
- 366 Chinese Ed.D students participated in the study.
- Validated scales measured mentor support, research self-efficacy, learning engagement, and research creativity.
Main Results
- Mentor support positively correlates with research creativity.
- Research self-efficacy and learning engagement mediate this relationship.
- Ed.D students reported low levels of research self-efficacy and learning engagement; males scored higher on self-efficacy and creativity.
Conclusions
- Mentor support is vital for fostering research creativity in Ed.D students.
- Interventions should focus on increasing research self-efficacy and learning engagement.
- Addressing gender differences in self-efficacy and creativity may be beneficial.

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
In 2011, the New York Times published a feature story on Krista and Tatiana Hogan, Canadian twin girls. These particular twins are unique because Krista and Tatiana are conjoined twins, connected at the head. There is evidence that the two girls are connected in a part of the brain called the thalamus, which is a...
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.
Research Involving Human Participants
Any experiment involving the participation of human subjects is governed by extensive, strict guidelines designed to ensure that the experiment does not result in harm. Any research institution that...
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth....
Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.
The Process of Scientific Research
Scientific knowledge is advanced through a process known as the scientific method. Basically, ideas (in the form of theories and hypotheses) are tested...
