PROCESSES UNDERLYING THE RELATION BETWEEN COGNITIVE ABILITY AND CURIOSITY WITH ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE: A MEDIATION ANALYSIS FOR EPISTEMIC BEHAVIOR IN A FIVE-YEAR LONGITUDINAL STUDY

Processes Underlying the Relation between Cognitive Ability and Curiosity with Academic Performance: A Mediation Analysis for Epistemic Behavior in a Five-Year Longitudinal Study

Cognitive ability and curiosity are significant predictors of academic achievement; yet the processes underlying these relations are not well understood.I drew on ideas from the environmental enrichment hypothesis and the differential preservation hypothesis and hypothesized that epistemic behavior acts as a mediator.Longitudinal data were collecte

A Concise Equation of State for Aqueous Solutions of Electrolytes Incorporating Thermodynamic Laws and Entropy

Abstract: Recently, the author suggested a simple and composite equation of state by incorporating fundamental thermodynamic Goggles properties like heat capacities into her earlier concise equation of state for gases based on free volume and molecular association / dissociation.This work brings new results for aqueous solutions, based on the analo
