The Relationship Between Helicopter Parenting and Fear of Negative Evaluation in College Students

Abstract: This study examines the relationship between self-reported levels of helicopter parenting, fear of negative evaluation (FNE), and autonomy in college students. In this study, 86 college students from 17 to 21 years of age completed surveys measuring helicopter parenting, FNE, and autonomy. After controlling for gender differences in FNE, increased levels of student-reported helicopter parenting predicted increased levels of FNE. The relationship between helicopter parenting and FNE was fully mediated by reduced feelings of autonomy. A key reason why helicopter parenting is associated with increased FNE is because students feel less able to make independent decisions. One way to support college students’ well-being may be to encourage and support student autonomy.

The relationship between working memory and insight depends on moderators: Reply to Chuderski and Jastrzêbski (2017).

Abstract: Chuderski and Jastrzebski (2017) found a positive relationship between working memory capacity and insight problem solving, and concluded that "people with less effective cognition" are therefore "less creative" (p. 2003). This interpretation discounts substantial evidence that devoting less executive control facilitates insight. We develop an initial framework for understanding these contradictory findings. We describe (a) how both working memory-demanding processes and less-demanding associative processes impact insight and (b) how individual, situational, and task-specific factors interact to influence whether greater working memory is a help or a hindrance. We propose that insight will be supported if the level of executive control used matches the level of control optimal for different phases of insight problem solving. We use this framework to explain why Chuderski and Jastrzebski's (2017) findings may have differed from DeCaro, Van Stockum, and Wieth (2016), and offer direction for a more unified account of insight problem solving.

Errors versus correct responses in the serial learning of word lists

Abstract: Using percent error as the dependent variable in serial anticipation learning of 15-word lists, no difference in the serial position curve was found for lists of high or low approximation to sentence word-order. When percent correct responses were examined, high approximation lists produced a flatter curve.
