Conspiracy beliefs, regulatory self-efficacy and compliance with COVID-19 health-related behaviors: The mediating role of moral disengagement

2022

Although recent studies on the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have highlighted the negative effects of moral disengagement on intentions to comply with COVID-19 containment measures, little is known about the mediating role of moral disengagement in the relationship between regulatory self-efficacy in complying with the containment measures, beliefs in conspiracy theories and compliance with COVID-19 health-related behaviors. Data were collected from 1164 young adults (women, N = 796; 68.4%; mean age 25.60 ± 4.40 years) who completed an online survey from 15th May to 22nd June 2021. Results of the multi-group path analyses indicated that higher beliefs in conspiracy theories were assoc…

University students’ career resources and the associations with perceived career control and decisional self-efficacy

2022

In recent years, to better face university paths, the first approaches to the labor market, and then the actual transition, university students are asked to have broader skills, such as the ability to network, the involve- ment in career-related issues, and the ability to explore the characteristics of occupations as much as per- sonal ones. The aim of this study is to confirm the psychometric properties of the Italian translation of the Career Resources Questionnaire (Hirschi et al., 2018) and the relationships between its components and two outcomes, students’ perceived career control and decisional self-efficacy, among 311 university students. The results highlight differences in perceiv…

Can reading fluency and self-efficacy of reading fluency be enhanced with an intervention targeting the sources of self-efficacy?

2018

Abstract The first aim of the study was to analyze whether reading fluency and self-efficacy of reading fluency (SE-rf) are malleable for children (Grades 3–5) with deficits in fluent reading via a 12-week special education program targeting both reading fluency and the sources of SE-rf (SE-program). The second aim was to investigate whether changes in SE-rf are related to changes in reading fluency. The SE-program (n = 40) was contrasted with the SKILL-program (n = 42) providing training solely in reading fluency. The groups showed equal improvements in reading fluency. Positive change in SE-rf emerged only in the SE-group, and this change was associated with changes in fluency, but the as…

Teachers' perceptions of student engagement and teacher self-efficacy beliefs

2014

This study examines the teachers’ perceptions of student engagement, teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs, and their interrelation. Affective engagement can be understood as belonging or relatedness as well as identification with school. Cognitive engagement can be conceived as engagement in classroom, self-regulation, learning goals and a student’s overall investment in learning. Measuring students’ engagement is crucial in that it helps educators predict and, by amending current teaching practices and policies, avoid poor performance or even drop-out. The teacher’s belief in herself and her potential is critical for the students’ overall performance in class. This study attempts to investigate…

La Self-Efficacy del Docente Universitario in Situazione di Emergenza Covid-19

2021

Le convinzioni che i docenti universitari possiedono sulla propria Self-Efficacy influenzano non solo il loro modo di lavorare, ma soprattutto gli esiti di apprendimento e il senso di autoefficacia dei loro studenti. La percezione di autoefficacia dei docenti nella didattica a distanza assume un ruolo ancora più importante in situazione di emergenza Covid-19. Il presente contributo indaga tale costrutto in un campione di 50 docenti universitari dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, rilevando l’eventuale incidenza di variabili quali le esperienze pregresse di insegnamento nell’ambito della didattica a distanza e l’autoefficacia nell’utilizzo di tecnologie didattiche. University teachers’ c…

La Self-Efficacy dell’insegnante per l’inclusione

2020

Gli studi sulla Self-Efficacy, da circa un ventennio, si stanno interessando, con non poche difficoltà, del contesto educativo, in particolare il focus della ricerca si è spostato recentemente sulla figura del docente. Le convinzioni che gli insegnanti possiedono sulla propria Self-Efficacy influenzano, non solo il loro modo di lavorare, ma soprattutto gli esiti di apprendimento e il senso di autoefficacia degli allievi. La percezione di autoefficacia degli insegnanti nel costruire ambienti di apprendimento inclusivi assume indubbiamente un ruolo ancora più importante. Il presente contributo indaga tale costrutto in un campione di 503 studenti iscritti al corso per il conseguimento della sp…

Self-esteem and Occupational Self-efficacy as Mediators of the Associations between Perceived Organizational Support, Work Engagement and Job Satisfa…

2012

Introduction: Previous research has documented greater vulnerability and exposure to stress among temporary workers due to labor uncertainty, especially in cases where temporary workers are considered peripheral workers in whom employers are unlikely to invest foster long-term organizational commitment and motivation to work (Becker, 1993; Amuedo-Dorantes 2000; De Cuyper & De Nitte, 2005; De Cuyper at al., 2008). Many characteristics of temporary employment adds to the vulnerability of temporary workers: poor job characteristics, highly monotonous work (Hall 2006), lower influence on workplace decisions (Aronsson et al. 2002; Parker et al. 2002), lower job satisfaction and lower organizatio…
