Abstract:
This study quantitatively evaluates overexcitability and learning experiences among Chinese adult learners in the Chinese context. Overexcitability is the “innate tendency to respond in an intensified manner to various forms of stimuli,” both external and internal (Piechowski, 1979, p. 8). There are two rounds of the data collection and two rounds of the data analysis. The first round of the data collection and the data analysis is to validate the LEI that I designed with the exploratory factor analysis. The second round of the data collection and the data analysis is for the full study with multi regression.
