Pages: 6 - 17 Abstract: The linking of Congolese Higher Education to LMD should encourage researchers on monitoring and supervising of students prospects. In particular self-determination problem of Congolese’s Students, who will be more actors in their own training than simples auditors. The aims of this paper were intended (i) measure the Congolese’s Students motivations, and (ii) determine the influence of gender, age, academic fee care and institution (culture) on it. Survey method and questionnaire technique were used, precisely Academic Motivation Scale (AMS-28) of Vallerand, Blais, Brière, & Pelletier to test 76 participants students, composed by Females and males, aged from 18 to 48 years old, attending the University of Lubumbashi or ISP/Gombe, either educational fee care or own fee care. After data analyse, we discovered that gender, age and academic fee care are not influenced the academic motivation of Congolese’s Students tested. Only institution or culture variable exposed that the study environment influenced the academic motivation. So it is better working with educational psychologist in creating optimal scenarios and conditions for students’ self-determination learning in the context of LMD reform.

Pages: 1 - 5 Abstract: Weeks into the COVID-19 pandemic, health agencies began recommending social distancing and mask usage to slow the spread of COVID-19; however, not all individuals adhered to these guidelines as consistently as others. This study investigated if extraversion negatively predicted social distancing behaviors and mask usage in a sample of participants from North America. Additionally, based on research on sex differences and engaging in health risk behaviors, it was hypothesized that the relationships between extraversion, social distancing, and mask usage would be moderated by biological sex, such that the relationships would be stronger for men than women. Results showed that extraversion was negatively related to mask usage and social distancing guidelines for men and that no relationship between extraversion and complying with these guidelines occurred for women.
