Abstract:

Drawing on basic psychological needs theory (BPNT; Deci & Ryan, 2000), the aim of this thesis was to investigate the influence that pupils' autonomy, competence and relatedness may have upon their personal and academic functioning at school. The purpose was to provide new conceptual insights into BPNT within young adolescents' schools and to identify practically viable interventions that could enhance educational practise. Specifically, this thesis addresses two methodological vacancies within BPNT research and two practically driven investigations. The first methodological consideration invol

Abstract:

The core constructs of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT, Hayes, Strosahl and Wilson, 2012) (including psychological flexibility) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT, Ryan and Deci, 2000) (including type of goal pursuits, basic psychological needs satisfaction and resilience) are contextual process-orientated components and there is research to support their affiliation with psychological health. These criteria are significant to counselling psychology’s objective to cultivate current knowledge on fostering psychological health according to its humanistic ethos as well as being relevant to

Abstract:

The importance of psychological needs for optimal mental and physical well-being has been well documented within the literature. However, there remains little consensus on the definition of basic psychological needs, on which needs are most important or fundamental, and on how to best assess basic needs in individuals. The purpose of this dissertation was to develop and validate a comprehensive measure of fundamental psychological needs and to examine its predictive utility for both mental and physical health. To fulfil these objectives, measure construction and validation studies were conduct

Abstract:

<p> Research has shown that the autonomy supportive motivating style benefits students, yet the controlling motivating style, which has detrimental effects on students, remains prevalent in K-12 classrooms.

Abstract:

Although there is an identified need for psychological services to work therapeutically with young adults leaving care (care leavers), there is a paucity of research examining the psychological constructs which may underlie reported distress in a care leaver population. There are plausible links between attachment theory and schema theory, but research investigating them is in its infancy. If made clearer, such links may usefully guide therapeutic interventions for care leavers. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the self-reported psychological needs of care leavers.

Lack of motivation is a substantial productivity cost for organisations and business in generally work under the assumption that pay predicts performance.

This study examined academic motivation and basic psychological needs as predictors of suicidal risk (namely, depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviors) in a sample of 348 college students.

The authors discuss implications for considering academic motivation and basic psychological needs in college counseling on the basis of the results.

A significant body of empirical work attests to the negative consequences of psychological contract breach for employees and organizations.

However, breach has been found to produce stronger effect on attitudes versus behaviours (Conway & Briner, 2009), suggesting that there is insufficient knowledge about employees’ motivation after the experience of psycholo

Abstract:

Nursing is a stressful occupation, which can often lead to compassion fatigue (CF) and turnover intention (TI). When their basic psychological needs (BPN) of competence, relatedness, and autonomy are not met, registered nurses (RNs) may develop a higher propensity to experience CF and TI. Amid projected nursing shortages, the loss of these health care providers may threaten the quality of patient care. Although there is research on BPN and their relationship with well-being and functioning, research is lacking on the relationship between BPN satisfaction, CF and TI among RNs. Researchers have

Abstract:

The dance psychology literature highlights a number of psychological difficulties which may be experienced by professional dancers. The importance of psychological support has become increasingly recognized within the dance profession but this has yet to be explored from the perspective of counselling psychology. The research addressing the issue of psychological support in dance is scarce, and little is know about dancers’ perceptions of these services. This research aims to address a novel area by conducting an exploration of dancers emotional support requirements and addressing perceptions

Abstract:

Background: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) may put women at additional physical risks during pregnancy, which may leave them psychologically vulnerable. Pregnancy and childbirth research with women with FGM has focused on the physical risks and the outcomes of pregnancy for mother and child (Paliwal, Ali, Bradshaw, Hughes & Jolly, 2013; Small et al., 2008; Zenner, Liao, Richens & Creighton, 2013; WHO, 2006). The psychological needs of pregnant women with FGM are under researched in the UK, or have relied on retrospective accounts given many years after pregnancy. Aims: To explore the psycholo

Abstract:

The motivation behind the revival and development of roller derby may provide valuable insight to the structure of established sports regarding athlete engagement, drop-out, and well-being. To investigate the relationship of the cross-theoretical concepts, self-reported satisfaction and thwarting of basic psychological needs, and peer motivational climate of 255 high-level flat track roller derby athletes was examined in a cross-sectional design. Hierarchal regression analysis showed low effects of basic needs satisfaction on performance. Basic psychological need satisfaction and thwarting pre

Abstract:

In this study, authors examined basic psychological needs (namely, competence, autonomy, and relatedness) as potential mediators of the association between sexual assault and depressive symptoms in a sample of 342 college students. Results from conducting a multiple mediation test provided support for partial mediation involving the indirect effects of competence and autonomy. In contrast, no support for mediation was found involving relatedness. It is notable that sexual assault remained a significant predictor of depressive symptoms in students. Therefore, findings indicate how sexual assaul
