Deciding on the direction of career and life : personal goals, identity development, and well-being during the transition to adulthood
2017
Humans make efforts to manage their lives, and they do this by setting goals and making decisions. When they commit to their decisions, they construct their identity. This research aimed to study young people’s personal goal contents and appraisals, and how these constructs were related to identity and career identity development and subjective well-being. The theoretical basis of this research comprised the life-span model of motivation (Nurmi, 2004; Salmela-Aro, 2009), the conceptualisation of phase- adequate engagement (Dietrich, Parker, & Salmela-Aro, 2012), and the dual-cycle model of identity development (Luyckx, Goossens, Soenens, & Beyers, 2006; Luyckx et al., 2008). The data for th…
Modelling the influence of automaticity of behaviour on physical activity motivation, intention and actual behaviour
2014
In research and in practise social-cognitive models, such as the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), are used to predict physical activity behaviour. These models mainly focus on reflective cognitive processes. As a reflective process, intention is thought to be the most proximal predictor to behaviour. Nevertheless, research suggests that the relation between intention and actual behaviour, the so called intention-behaviour gap, is moderate. Many health-related actions in daily life are performed repetitively and with minimal forethought. In contrast to social-cognitive theories, dual-process theories suggest that behaviour is based on both reflective and automatic processes. Recent researc…
Etude en champ proche et champ lointain de surfaces métalliques : apport des microscopies à sonde locale à l'étude des étalons de masse
2005
Among the international system of units (SI) the kilogram is the only one which is still defined by a material artefact, the international prototype of the platinum iridium kilogram. The instability of mass standards is one of the major concerns of national metrology institutes and the subject of numerous studies. Interest in microscopic studies of surface quality of a mass has grown, as it is well known that surface roughness is a factor in determining the long-term stability of mass standards. This thesis is devoted to the study in near field and far field for determining the topography and roughness of metallic surfaces, in related with different institute, national and international met…
