Impact of self-imposed harmony and word retention among college students: Basis for Action Plan

This quasi-experimental study investigates the impact of self-imposed harmony on word retention among college students at Mianyang Normal University. Employing purposive sampling and adapting Lubbock's work, the research explores the interplay between natural history and cognitive psychology. Demographic variations between experimental and control groups prompt nuanced analyses, revealing a consistent trend of improved word retention in the experimental group. While mean scores suggest a positive correlation, a broader score distribution necessitates further statistical scrutiny. Confirming a significant difference supports the notion that self-imposed harmony positively influences word retention. These results encourage deeper exploration of harmony's underlying mechanisms. The proposed action plan, rooted in mindfulness practices and personalized learning, aims to enhance the harmonious condition, fostering continuous feedback and collaboration for optimized cognitive processes and improved word retention. Recommendations include addressing demographic variations, conducting in-depth statistical analyses, and qualitative exploration of harmony's impact, emphasizing the importance of internal harmony in educational settings.
