Emotional Self-Regulation in Sport and Performance

2018

Emotions are multifaceted subjective feelings that reflect expected, current, or past interactions with the environment. They involve sets of interrelated psychological processes, encompassing affective, cognitive, motivational, physiological, and expressive or behavioral components. Emotions play a fundamental role in human adaptation and performance by improving sensory intake, detection of relevant stimuli, readiness for behavioral responses, decision-making, memory, and interpersonal interactions. These beneficial effects enhance human health and performance in any endeavor, including sport, work, and the arts. However, emotions can also be maladaptive. Their beneficial or maladaptive e…

Trait Self-Control, Social Cognition Constructs, and Intentions: Correlational Evidence for Mediation and Moderation Effects in Diverse Health Behavi…

2019

Background: We examined effects of trait self‐control, constructs from social cognition theories, and intentions on health behaviours. Trait self‐control was expected to predict health behaviour indirectly through theory constructs and intentions. Trait self‐control was also predicted to moderate the intention–behaviour relationship. Methods: Proposed effects were tested in six datasets for ten health‐related behaviours from studies adopting prospective designs. Participants (N = 3,249) completed measures of constructs from social cognition theories and self‐control at an initial time point and self‐reported their behaviour at follow‐up. Results: Results revealed indirect effects of self‐co…

Is individual- and school-level teacher burnout reduced by proactive strategies?

2021

There is provisional evidence that burnout may be contagious within professional communities via the crossover effect, referring to an inter-individual transmission of stress or strain. However, our understanding of effective means for tackling stressors is scarce. We tested a two-level path model to explore the interrelation between teachers’ proactive self- and co-regulative strategies and experienced burnout. The study sample comprised 1531 Finnish in-service teachers from 75 schools. The results showed that burnout symptoms varied both between individual teachers and between professional communities. Self- and co-regulative strategies serve partly different functions in regulating teach…

Effects of a School-Based Intervention on Motivation for Out-of-School Physical Activity Participation

2021

Purpose: We tested the effects of an autonomy-supportive intervention in physical education (PE) on high-school students’ autonomous motivation in PE, and their autonomous motivation, intentions, and physical activity (PA) behavior in a leisure time guided by the trans-contextual model. Method: PE classes in two schools were assigned to receive either an autonomy-supportive intervention and/or a control intervention via random allocation by the school. The PE teacher of the school assigned to the autonomy-supportive intervention was trained to provide autonomy support while the PE teacher of the school assigned to the control intervention received no training. Students (N = 256) in all clas…

An Examination of the Relationship Between Coaches’ Transformational Leadership and Athletes’ Personal and Group Characteristics in Elite Youth Soccer

2021

There is a growing body of the literature highlighting the positive impact of transformational leadership behaviours across contexts, including sport. However, there is a lack of knowledge of this relationship within elite sport settings. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between elite youth athletes’ perceptions of coaches’ transformational coaching-behaviours and variables that have been linked to transformational leadership in other settings (i.e., group cohesion, motivational climate, self-regulation of learning and athlete satisfaction). Norwegian elite youth soccer players (n= 753) selected into the national talent development program completed que…

Young University Students’ Academic Self-Regulation Profiles and Their Associated Procrastination: Autonomous Functioning Requires Self-Regulated Ope…

2020

Students' autonomous self-regulation requires not only self-motivation but also volition or transforming motivation into specific behavioral intentions and following through. Self-regulation includes self-motivation (i.e., goal setting, learning from mistakes) and volitional regulation (i.e., strategic decision making). Furthermore, individual differences, like trait-level perseverance, significantly influence both motivation and volition. Procrastination has been defined as a volitional self-regulation problem, which involves delaying what one had intended to do, in spite of being motivated, and regardless of anticipating adverse consequences. Thus, it is a tendency toward dysregulated beh…

Simple flume with a central baffle

2016

Abstract In this paper the stage-discharge relationship of a flume with a central baffle is theoretically deduced using the Buckingham-Theorem of the dimensional analysis and the self-similarity theory. The new stage-discharge equation is calibrated by the measurements carried out by Peruginelli and Bonacci using a baffle having a given throat length and five different values of the contraction ratio. Finally, for a given throat length, a relationship linking the discharge with the upstream water depth, the contraction ratio and the contracted width is deduced.

SELVICOLTURA ALPINA E SELVICOLTURA APPENNINICA: ELEMENTI DI CONTATTO E DI DIFFERENZIAZIONE

2009

Riassunto Il rapporto tra boschi e popolazioni locali sulle Alpi come sugli Appennini, seppur in momenti storici differenti, è stato caratterizzato dalla distruzione e sfruttamento intensivo, protrattisi fino alla metà del secolo scorso, cui hanno fatto seguito la ricostituzione sia mediante rimboschimenti sia con il miglioramento dei boschi esistenti. Partendo dai presupposti sui quali si è imperniata l’attività forestale che ha caratterizzato, nel corso degli ultimi cinquant’anni, l’approccio selvicolturale nei due contesti e da una puntuale e documentata analisi, nel lavoro vengono evidenziati gli elementi di differenziazione tra la selvicoltura naturalistica applicata in ambiente alpino…

Grafiskās ontoloģiju attēlošanas konstrukcijas un rīki

2018

Darba mērķis ir aplūkot un salīdzināt iespējas ontoloģiju vizualizētājiem un redaktoriem. Tiek apskatīts ontoloģiju jēdziens datorzinātņu,- semantiskā tīmekļa kontekstā, aplūkojot dažādas tīmekļa ontoloģiju valodas OWL 2.0 konstrukcijas un iespējas. Darba ievadā tiek sniegts vispārīgs ieskats ontoloģiju modelēšanā un tās izteiksmes nozīmībā. Iztirzājuma daļā vispirms tiek apskatītas OWL 2.0 konstrukcijas no teorētiskā un praktiskā viedokļa. Tam seko rīku OWLGrEd, WebVOWL un Eddy (Graphol) apskats un konstrukciju attēlošanas iespējas, un tie attiecīgi salīdzināti, lai izvērtētu iespējas OWLGrEd redaktora grafiskās notācijas papildināšanai. Izstrādājot darbu tika izmantotas publiski pieejamās…
