Description
Xiaosa Wang and Lin Luo trace how self-regulated online English study feeds, or soothes, language anxiety in Chinese university students. Digital courses hand learners the wheel, yet anxiety rides along in the new setting. The team asks which parts of self-regulation connect to anxiety, and whether inner motivation carries the effect.
Their 2026 study surveys well over a thousand students with three validated questionnaires. Six facets of self-regulated learning are scored against class performance anxiety, with motivation tested as the middle link. Mediation analysis over thousands of resamples maps which routes run direct and which run through motivation. The picture guides course designers: build the self-regulation habits that grow motivation, and anxiety loses its fuel.
