Knapp, Andrew. "Factors in the Regulation of Cycles of Binge Eating Behavior." ScholarWorks @ UVM, 2015. http://scholarworks.uvm.edu/graddis/360.
Full textAbstract:
The reasons why people may periodically resort to binge eating behavior have long been a focus of study, and the reasons are elusive and varied. For people troubled by poor sleep and living with chronic stress, binge eating may be an attempt by the brain's glucose-depleted executive processing center to both regulate (i.e., increase) glucose levels and induce restorative sleep. Recovery resulting from restorative sleep may lead to a reduction in perceived stress, improved mood, and increased willpower, reducing the likelihood of another binge episode in close temporal proximity to the sleep-induced recovery. A repetitive cycle may ensue when stress inevitably again disturbs sleep, lowering mood, reducing willpower, and heightening sensitivity to stigma and stress.
The purpose of the research described here is to synthesize recent findings from three diverse fields of scientific inquiry to predict factors that influence episodes of binge eating. Combining studies of sleep and sleep disorders, stress and stigma research, and recent work on self-regulatory capacity, I attempt to show how poor sleep ultimately leads to binge eating. A seven-day study consisted of three parts: an initial set of baseline questionnaire and physiological measures; collection of objective sleep quality data using an electronic motion logger; and an online daily diary in which participants completed measures of self-regulatory capacity and reported details about their sleep, stress levels, experiences with stigma, mood, and eating events. The data partially supported a path model where sleep quality, stress, mood, and self-regulation affected binge eating behavior.

Full textAbstract:
Recent research has demonstrated that over time, consecutive high performance goals can increase unethical behavior by depleting one's self-regulatory resources (Welsh & Ordóñez, 2014). In this study, I extend the mediated model connecting goals, depletion, and unethical behavior. First, I propose that the depleting effects associated with a single goal can increase depletion and facilitate unethicality both in pursuit of the goal and also in unrelated areas. Second, I draw from the goal-setting literature to hypothesize that high levels of goal commitment will moderate the relationship between high performance goals and depletion by strengthening this effect. Third, I integrate research related to information processing to hypothesize that because automatic processing influences behavior more when participants are depleted, subconscious ethical priming will moderate the relationship between depletion and unethical behavior by attenuating this effect. A laboratory study is presented to test the expanded model combining mediation and moderation, adding to our understanding of the factors that influence the strength of the relationship connecting high performance goals and unethical behavior. Results generally did not support the developed model and a number of potential limitations and directions for future research are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Emotion regulation is processes by which individuals influence which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express those emotions. In the field of developmental psychology, there is a large literature on affect regulation focused almost exclusively on infants and young children with a focus on temperamental differences in reactivity, both affective and physiological, and accompanying regulatory strategies. The purpose of the current study was to examine the role of two dimensions of temperament, negative affect (NA) and effortful control (EC), and how these dimensions relate to physiology, self-report of emotion, and behavior during resting and stressor tasks (Stroop, video game, hand cold pressor, and delayed gratification), the latter in which emotion suppression instructions were given. Using the Adult Temperament Questionnaire (ATQ) to screen 656 subjects, 24 males and 53 females were recruited to take part in the second phase of the study, creating four groups with their screening ATQ scores: high NA/high EC, low NA/low EC, high NA/low EC, low NA/high EC. Physiological measures derived from electrocardiogram (ECG) and impedance cardiography were recorded during each task and behaviors were coded using the Emotion Expressive Behavior Coding System. EC Group and NA Group were not significant for the majority of the physiological, self-report, and behavioral variables. However, the EC subscale inhibitory control was predictive of lower resting HRV for females only, and the Extraversion/Surgency subscale Sociability was a significant predictor of cardiac sympathetic activity during the tasks, with low sociability subjects showing a stronger sympathetic response. Neither self-report of emotion nor behavioral variables show a clear group difference in response to the tasks. Future studies will examine the use of other types of regulatory tasks, such as social interactions, as well as the need for a balance between emotion expressivity and emotion regulation.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
Estudos anteriores sugeriram que as compras de experiências, tais como viagens e shows, deixam as pessoas mais felizes do que compras materiais, como, por exemplo, roupas e eletrônicos. E, por esta razão, sugerem que as pessoas passem a alocar mais a sua renda discricionária em tais tipos de compra. Entretanto, acredita-se que isto não é verdade para todos os indivíduos. O nível de felicidade com cada tipo de compra, provavelmente, varie de acordo com o estado motivacional das pessoas. À luz da teoria de self-regulation, hipotetizase que a felicidade derivada das compras depende da adequação entre as diferentes orientações motivacionais (prevention x promotion) e o tipo de compra (experiência x material). Em um estudo experimental, manipulou-se o tipo de compra e o regulatory focus, e se descobriu que os participantes com promotion focus, realmente, são mais felizes com as compras de experiência, no entanto, os participantes com prevention focus são tão felizes com as compras materiais quanto com as de experiência. Em um segundo estudo experimental, testou-se como os participantes com diferentes estados motivacionais alocam sua renda discricionária de modo a se sentirem mais felizes. Dado os resultados, sugere-se que os participantes com promotion focus são os que devem melhorar sua forma de investir para ficarem mais felizes, estes sim devem seguir a recomendação à experiência. Ainda, quando o trade-off entre os tipos de compra (experiência e material) estava saliente, os participantes com prevention focus, na seqüência, avaliaram as experiências mais favoravelmente do que quando o trade-off não estava saliente.Experiential consumption - which is made with the primary intention of acquiring a life experience - usually yields greater happiness than material purchases. However, it might not be true for all individuals. The level of happiness in each type of purchase may vary according to one's motivational state. Building on research on subjective well-being and regulatory focus it is being put forward a hypothesis that happiness derived from purchases depends on the fit between self-regulation (individual differences) and the type of purchase (experiential versus material). In the first experimental study, the regulatory focus (prevention vs. promotion) and type of purchase (experiential vs. material) have been manipulated. The data shows that the promotion-focused participants indeed were happier with the experiential purchases than with the material ones. However, the prevention-focused participants were as happy with the material purchases as with the experiential purchases. In the second experimental study, it has been tested how the participants with different regulatory foci allocate their discretionary income as to feel happier. According to the results, its been suggested that in order to spend their income more judisciously, the promotion-focused participants should choose the experiential form of purchase and the prevention-focused participants should continue to invest in both types of purchases. Further, when the trade-off between the material and experiential purchases was made salient, experiences were subsequently evaluated more favorably than when the trade-off was not salient.

Full textAbstract:
Currently our world consumes the equivalent of 1.6 earths per year. Although the production has become resource-efficient by using fewer natural resources to produce one dollar of GDP, per-capita consumption in the US firmly increases. Individuals consume an ever-increasing quantity of goods and services which inevitably leads to environmental damages in terms of pollution, deforestation, climate change and psychological disorders such as reduced wellbeing, unhappiness, and anxiety. Past research has suggested that embracing sustainable consumption - where consumption of products and services have minimal impact on the environment, and improvement in society's wellbeing-might mitigate the detrimental effects of over-consumption. Increasingly studies in this stream propose that adopting a psychological approach, specifically by enhancing individuals' inherent capability known as mindfulness may aid in boosting sustainable consumption behaviors. However, only few studies have investigated the decision-making processes associated with mindfulness that could show a detailed picture of how mindfulness - receptive attention to and present moment awareness is positively associated with sustainable consumption behaviors. Conceptual model for this study was built based on mindfulness-related mechanisms, namely re-perceiving, systematic processing, and ability to overcome need for fulfillment. Using a four-step conceptual model: mindfulness-cognitive personality variables-values and beliefs variables-sustainable consumption behaviors, this research empirically examines how trait mindfulness is associated with sustainable consumption behaviors. Embracing a broad definition of sustainable consumption in terms of its impact on environment (composition) and level of consumption (volume), this research includes both pro-environmental and downshifting consumption behaviors. By utilizing an online survey method, data was collected from 1005 respondents in Amazon Mechanical Turk (Mturk). Findings from self-reported measures suggested that while mindfulness directly and positively associated with sustainable behaviors, significant indirect relationships are explained by cognitive personality variables such as cognitive flexibility, need for cognition, attention based self-regulatory control, and values/beliefs namely altruistic values, self-acceptance values, materialistic values, and perceived consumer effectiveness. Comparing empirical models using measures of both socio-cognitive based mindfulness and meditation based mindfulness demonstrated that the former has both direct and indirect relationships with sustainable behaviors while the latter showed only indirect relationships through cognitive personality variables and values/beliefs. By identifying cognitive personality variables that are closely associated with mindfulness, this research teases out the tenets of mindfulness that are more relevant for sustainable consumption behaviors. Also, the recognized cognitive personality variables in this research have been rigorously studied in consumer behavior research, hence finding their relationships with mindfulness might help uncover applications of mindfulness in mainstream consumer behavior research. In addition, by supporting relationships involving cognitive personality variables and values/beliefs relevant for sustainable consumption, this study may offer insights for policy makers and practitioners in maneuvering consumers' mindfulness and their sustainable behaviors to bring about change in their sustainable consumption behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
This study first investigated the association between individuals' chronic regulatory styles and their attachment models in adult close relationships, and then looked at how individuals' chronic regulatory styles interact with their attachment models to influence relationship maintenance strategies (RMS) such as accommodating one's partner's transgressions and making personal sacrifices for the relationship. One hundred twenty-one dating-students completed the computerized Selves Questionnaire (Higgins et al., 1997) assessing ideal and ought discrepancies and their chronic accessibility (promotion and prevention focus strength), and then answered questions addressing attachment, accommodation and willingness to sacrifice. Results revealed that ought discrepancies were associated with avoidant attachment for high prevention focus strength individuals, whereas ideal discrepancies were associated with anxious attachment for low promotion focus strength individuals. Furthermore, prevention focus strength interacted with avoidant attachment, such that individuals with a strong prevention focus engaged in RMS to the extent that they were not avoidantly attached.

Full textAbstract:
Further research into identifying the mechanisms that underlie the development and maintenance of insomnia and its different subtypes is required. Neurobiological motivational systems are thought to mediate our experiences of negative and positive affect and are implicated in the etiology of psychiatric disorders, but their role in insomnia is unknown. The present study aimed to compare self-reported sensitivity to these systems across Psychophysiological Insomnia (PI) and Idiopathic Insomnia (IdI). Sixty one adults with PI (n = 20) and IdI (n = 20), and Good Sleepers (n = 21), completed measures of sleep characteristics, Behavioural Inhibition Sensitivity (BIS), Behavioural Activation Sensitivity (BAS), Sleep Effort, Depression and Anxiety. As predicted the PI group reported significantly greater BIS sensitivity compared with the IdI and GS groups. However, no significant differences were found between groups on BAS sensitivity. Post-hoc analysis revealed significant differences between the insomnia groups on sleep effort when age was included as a covariate. Depression and anxiety did not moderate the relationships between the other outcome variables. The findings support the notion that PI is associated with a specific tendency toward threat sensitivity, a tendency absent in IdI. This is consistent with contemporary thinking on PI that this group exhibits greater vulnerability to stress-related sleep disturbance, whereas IdI is a more stable insomnia subtype that may be less reactive to circumstances. Accordingly, this suggests that different psychological treatment approaches are indicated for these subtypes with PI requiring re-conditioning forms of CBT and IdI requiring a more acceptance based approach.

Full textAbstract:
PhDSelf-regulation is a vital function to humanity, and is an important factor in the dominant paradigm of consumer research, whereby consumer decisions are characterised by the battle between long- and short-term interests. The current research examined the relative effectiveness of two self-regulatory strategies: stopping an already-commenced consumption episode, or to not commence one at all. Traditional economic theories, including the principle of diminishing marginal utility, would predict that not starting is harder to accomplish; whereas a proposal by Thaler (1983) suggests that not starting is in fact the optimal strategy. Two studies were conducted whereby participants were asked to either perform a less-favoured task and resist from starting a more-favoured one (Not Start), or to cease performing a more-favoured task to complete the less-favoured task (Stop). Study 1 found that Stop was more difficult than Not Start, which tentatively supported Thaler’s argument; however there was an explanation which could not be ruled out, namely the psychological distance of the anticipated second task. Study 2 addressed this issue by manipulating that factor by incorporating it into the experimental design. It was found that Not Start became as depleting as Stop when psychological distance of the second task was reduced. This research contributed to the literature by establishing a boundary condition upon the strength model of self-regulatory resource depletion, and adds to the discussion on the descriptive validity of the principle of diminishing marginal utility.

Verma, Mohini. "Temporal patterns of co-occurrence between children's self-regulatory behaviour and their private and social speech." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/273906.
Full textAbstract:
The role of language has been identified as crucial in the cognitive development of young children, and has been observed on different time-scales. In particular, the real-time verbal mediation of behaviour has been studied in the context of private speech use and self-regulation, pioneered by Vygotsky and continued by others who followed this line of research. However previous studies have mainly attempted to find correlations between speech and self-regulatory behaviour, but have been unable to capture the dynamic and real-time temporal interactions between these phenomena. Hence, without being able to carry out a contextual analysis of the actual instances of temporal co-occurrence between speech and behaviour, correlational analysis is limited in determining the various kinds of verbal mediation that children spontaneously employ as strategies during problem-solving and while exercising self-regulation. The current study proposes ‘temporal pattern analysis’ as an effective method of extracting significantly recurring patterns of task-relevant speech and goal-directed behaviour, as they repeatedly occur in a stream of naturalistic behaviour which may also contain other temporally random events. These recurring temporal patterns are then contextually analysed, considering the pragmatic content of the speech involved and the goal-directedness of the behaviour towards a specific goal of the episode. Goal-directed episodes of behaviour in eight typically-developing preschool children were video-recorded during their self-initiated activities in the classroom as well as during a problem-solving task held in a laboratory setting. The proposed method of temporal and contextual analysis was used to examine the role of both private as well as social speech in the verbal mediation of self-regulatory behaviour during goal-attainment. A Contextual Model of Verbal Mediation was proposed in the study to account for the diverse functions that both social and private speech perform during verbal mediation of one’s own and others’ behaviour in a goal-directed setting, depending on the specific social and task-related context. A dynamic framework of assessment of performance was developed in the study, to account for both successful attempts at self-regulation as well as failures of self-regulation. The study also attempted to determine any consistent group differences in the styles of verbal mediation employed by the children, across the classroom and the laboratory settings.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid growth of online and blended learning environments in both higher education and K-12, along with the development of innovative game based, narrative driven, problem-based learning (PBL) systems known as Alternate Reality Games (AltRG), has led to the need to understand student’s abilities to self-regulate their learning behaviors and practices in these novel environments. This study examines student reflections and e-mails related to self-regulatory practices for learning across two different course designs for an Internet-based course in computer applications. Both designs leverage PBL but apply different levels of abstraction related to content and the need to self-regulate. The study looked specifically at how students communicated about learning across these environments, what student communications indicated about student readiness for university online learning and how instructional design and methods of instruction shaped student expressions of learning and self-regulation. The research design follows an ethnographic and case study approach as two designs and four sections are examined. Data was collected from student blog posts, email messages and semi-structured interviews. Atlas.TI was used to code the data using constant comparative analysis. A sequential analysis was applied using an a priori structure for self-regulation and post hoc analysis for emergent codes that resulted in the following categories: distraction, group experience, motivation, emotion, prior experiences, and time. Results indicated qualitative differences between the two designs related to student communications for learning and self-regulation. Findings were reported for both the a priori and post hoc analysis. Additionally, two major findings are reported as emerging themes. These are presented and discussed as The Expectation Gap and Different Designs, Different Outcomes.

Crelley, David. "I can resist anything except temptation : self-regulatory fatigue and ethical spending." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10871/12401.
Full textAbstract:
Within western societies the act of consumption is not merely concerned with satisfying basic human needs. Rather, consumption has become a source of leisure and self expression for the masses (Belk, 1988). This has meant that humankind’s wants have tended to outstrip the world’s finite resources available, leading to environmental damage, questionable farming practice and the widespread abuse of human labour. In response to these issues the phenomena of ethical consumption was born. Ethical consumption attempts to limit the environmental, human and animal costs of our spending via the favouring of products that are deemed to be for the betterment of wider society. At face value ethical consumption has been hugely successful in terms of market share, with sales of products stressing their ethical credentials having grown rapidly in recent years (Cooperative Bank 2011). However, despite this success, ethically branded products still represent a minority of purchases (Thøgersen, 2006). Psychological research exploring the reasons why consumers purchase ethically is dominated by papers focusing upon consumers’ attitudes, values and intentions (Andorfer & Liebe, 2012, Milfont & Duckitt, 2004). However, consumers’ attitudes do not always mirror actual spending (Auger, Burke, Devinney & Louviere., 2003; Auger & Devinney, 2007). Whilst one third of consumers describe themselves as being ethical spenders, only 1-3% of products purchased are Fair Trade certified (Cowe & Williams, 2000). The divergence between attitude and behaviour has been referred to as the ‘ethical purchasing gap’ (Andorfer & Liebe, 2012, Clayton & Brook, 2005). One factor that may be partially responsible for the divergence between purchase intention and actual behaviours is self-regulatory fatigue (ego depletion). Chapter one of the thesis presents the argument for ethical spending being affected by, amongst other things, our ability to suppress our impulsive desires via a process known as self-regulation (Bagozzi, 1992; Baumeister, 2002; Baumeister & Vohs, 2007). According to the self-regulatory fatigue literature, self-control requires the expenditure of blood glucose (Gailliot, 2008, Inzlicht & Gutsell, 2007). However, the available level of blood glucose temporarily diminishes with continued use of the self-regulatory system. In response to the lower availability of blood glucose, individuals begin to limit all non-essential cognitive expenditure, including further acts of self-regulation. Individuals who have exhausted their capacity for self control are said to be ego depleted or in a state of self-regulatory fatigue (Baumeister & Heatherton, 1996; Hofmann. Friese & Strack, 2009; Muraven & Baumeister, 2000) Chapter one argues that self-regulatory fatigue may restrict an individual’s capacity to consider the social and long-term impacts of their spending to resist the temptation of cheap consumer goods. As a result, it is predicted that ethical spending may be negatively affected by self-regulation fatigue. Following this theoretical foundation, Chapter two presents the methodological rationale for the research project that set out to test various aspects of this foundational hypothesis. Chapter three presents the findings of the first empirical study. The purpose of the study was to use open-ended questionnaires to explore the principles that guided participants’ spending, as well gaining an insight into instances where there was a discrepancy between spending and principle. The study is included within the thesis primarily to show the genesis of the research agenda. The study indicated that consumers within the sample were primarily concerned with traditional forms of ethical consumption, namely environmental, human and animal welfare concerns. Participants justified non-principled purchasing as being a result of financial consideration or impulsive urge. It was thus decided to explore the possibility that self-regulation fatigue may have a potentially negative impact upon ethical spending, due to its known relationship with impulsive spending (Vohs & Faber, 2007). Chapter four explores the effects of self-regulation fatigue upon socially-minded economic behaviour within the controlled setting of a social dilemma game. Ethical consumption can be considered to be a prime example of a ‘social dilemma’ in the sense that decisions relating to whether or not to consume ethically involve a direct conflict between an individual’s short term interests (e.g. to save money) and the collective interests of wider society (Gattig & Hendrickx, 2007; Milfont & Gouveiac, 2006). Therefore it was decided to measure the effects of self-regulatory fatigue within an experimental social dilemma task. The task used was based upon the forest game, which was first outlined by Sheldon and McGregor (2000), with the white bear thought suppression task (Wegner, Schneider, Carter, & White, 1987) being utilised to manipulate self-regulatory fatigue. The results revealed a clear divergence in behaviour within the game as a function of the manipulation of self-regulatory fatigue, with non-depleted groups sustaining the central resource longer than their depleted counterparts. Chapter five builds on the findings of chapter four through an exploration of the relationship between ego depletion and participants’ willingness to pay for ethical goods. The study utilised a discrete choice measure in order to measure participant’s willingness to pay for ethical goods. The findings did not show a significant effect of self-regulatory fatigue on the willingness to pay for ethical goods. However a potential explanation for this result was the fact that the decision-making processes involved in this study were less arduous than those required within a real-life shopping environment (or, for that matter, than the decisions required in the forest game reported in chapter four). It is possible that the complexity of the choice presented may have been insufficient for the decision to be negatively affected by self-regulatory fatigue. The study is thus included in order to illustrate the importance of utilising more realistic measures of spending that incorporate more of the complexity of decision-making required in real-world contexts. Chapter six presents four separate experiments exploring the relationship between self-regulatory fatigue and ethical spending. The first study utilised an online supermarket simulation and asked participants to go shopping for one week’s worth of groceries after either completing, or not completing, the white bear thought suppression task. The simulated supermarket allowed participants to select from a range of over 1900 products. The pattern of results indicated that participants in a state of self-regulatory fatigue spent significantly less on ethically branded products than their non-depleted counterparts. However, this was only true for individuals with a high food budget. Those with a low budget were not significantly affected, presumably due to having relatively little flexibility in terms of product choice and/or having established shopping habits focusing upon value. The second study in chapter six explored the ways in which social appeals interact with self-regulatory fatigue. Participants were presented with an attention control task before reading either an article praising students for their ethical behaviours or a control article. Participants were then asked to “go shopping” within the online store. Results once again indicated that self-regulatory fatigue reduced spending on ethically branded goods. However, contrary to predictions, the social appeal had no significant effect on levels of ethical spending either as a main effect or in interaction with self-regulatory fatigue.

Full textAbstract:
Doutoramento em Música - Estudos em PerformanceFlow experience, a holistic sensation of total involvement in an activity, seems to have positive influences on musical performance activities. Although its main requirements (balance between challenges and skills, clear goals and unequivocal feedback) are inherent elements of musical practice, there is a lack of research about flow occurrences in the context of musical practice and on how specific practice behaviours affect the experience of flow and its particular dimensions. The aims of this thesis were to investigate advanced performersʼ dispositions to flow in musical practice, and to investigate whether the frequency of these experiences of holistic engagement with practice are associated with self-regulatory practice behaviours. 168 advanced classicallytrained performers (male = 50.0%; female = 50.0%), ranging in age from 18 to 74 years (m = 34.41, SD = 12.39), answered a survey that included two measures: the Dispositional Short Flow Scale, assessing performersʼ flow dispositions, and the Self-Regulated Practice Behaviours Questionnaire, developed specifically for the present research. The overall results of the survey suggested that advanced musicians have high dispositions to flow in musical practice, but not associated with the participantsʼ demographic characteristics. Three of the individual flow indicators were less experienced, suggesting that the most intense flow experiences are rare in musical practice. However, the results point to the existence of another relevant experience, named optimal practice experience. Practice engagement levels were positively associated with knowledge of oneʼs own personal resources and a capacity for practice organization, but not with inclusion/use of external resources. A capacity for setting optimal practice goals was related to self-regulation and to immersion aspects of flow. Current findings offer new clues about the assessment of flow dispositions in performers, helping to clarify how daily practice can heighten positive affective responses in musicians who are vulnerable to the requirements and difficulties of deliberate practice, as well as to other negative practice outcomes. The current research questions issues pertaining to the optimization and sustaining of flow in daily practice, suggesting future directions in the study of the affective subjective functioning of engagement with deliberate practice.
A experiência de fluxo, uma sensação holística de total envolvimento com uma atividade, parece exercer influências positivas sobre as atividades de performance musical. Apesar de seus principais requisitos (equilíbrio entre desafios e competências, metas claras e feedback inequívoco) serem elementos inerentes à atividade de prática musical, ainda pouco se sabe sobre ocorrências de experiências de fluxo no contexto da prática musical, e em que medida determinados comportamentos de prática afetam a experiência de fluxo e das suas dimensões particulares. Os objetivos desta tese foram investigar as disposições à experiência de fluxo na prática musical em performers avançados, e investigar se a frequência dessas experiências de engajamento holístico estão associadas a comportamentos autorreguladores da prática musical. 168 performers de formação clássica e nível avançado (masculino = 50,0%; feminino = 50,0%), com idades compreendidas entre 18 e 74 anos (m = 34,41; DP = 12,39) responderam a um inquérito que incluiu dois questionários: a Escala Curta de Disposição ao Fluxo, uma medida válida de avaliação da experiência de fluxo em músicos, e o Questionário de Comportamentos Autorreguladores da Prática Musical, desenvolvido exclusivamente para a presente pesquisa. Os resultados globais do inquérito sugeriram altas disposições para a experiência de fluxo na prática musical, mas essas não estiveram associadas às características demográficas dos participantes. Três dos indicadores individuais da experiência de fluxo foram muito menos experienciados, sugerindo que experiências mais intensas de fluxo na prática musical sejam raras. Entretanto, os resultados apontam para a existência de uma outra experiência relevante, chamada de experiência óptima de prática. Os níveis de engajamento na prática estiveram positivamente relacionados com o conhecimento dos próprios recursos pessoais e da capacidade de organização da prática, mas não com a inclusão de recursos externos. A capacidade de estabelecer metas ideias de prática foi associada à autorregulação e aos aspectos de imersão do estado de fluxo. Os resultados atuais oferecem novas pistas sobre a avaliação das disposições ao fluxo em performers, ajudando a esclarecer como a prática diária pode proporcionar respostas afetivas positivas em músicos vulneráveis às exigências e dificuldades da prática deliberada, bem como a outros resultados negativos de prática. A pesquisa atual leva a perguntas sobre a otimização e sustentação da experiência de fluxo na prática musical diária, oferecendo direções futuras no estudo do funcionamento afetivo subjetivo de envolvimento com a prática deliberada.

Full textAbstract:
Recent studies suggest the ability to self-regulate eating behaviour may help people to cope with the food environment and achieve, as well as maintain, a healthy weight and diet. However, most studies exploring the relationships between eating self-regulatory skills, weight control and dietary habits in adults have used a cross-sectional design and have not accounted for the full range of eating self-regulatory skills, possibly due to the fact that no comprehensive measure of eating self-regulation exists. Furthermore, although there are indications that eating self-regulatory skills may be enhanced through practice, the most effective way to improve these skills and the impact of any changes on weight loss and dietary behaviours has not been established. Therefore, this PhD thesis developed a valid and reliable measure to assess eating self-regulatory skills in the general adult population (Study 1). Results from Study 2 showed that higher eating self-regulatory skills may help students to maintain or achieve a healthy diet and protect them against substantial weight gain (≥5% initial body weight), especially among students with higher BMIs. In Study 3, secondary analysis from the 10 Top Tips (10TT) randomised controlled trial was undertaken to test the effect of a habit-based intervention on eating self-regulatory skills. Results showed 10TT promoted greater increases in self-regulatory skills than Usual Care. Furthermore, these changes in self-regulatory skills mediated the effect of 10TT on target behaviours and weight loss. Lastly, since the use of new technology for lifestyle interventions is an emerging field in public health, two app versions of 10TT, one identical to 10TT (Top Tips ‘only’ app) and another including a self-regulatory training component for breaking unhealthy eating habits (Top Tips ‘plus’ app), were developed and piloted with overweight and obese adults (Study 4). Exploratory results from Study 4 suggest that both app interventions may promote eating self-regulatory skills, weight loss and healthy behaviours among overweight and obese adults, especially among those more engaged with the apps. However, both apps would benefit from further development work and should be evaluated by means of a randomised controlled trial.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the interplay between parenting behaviors and self-regulatory focus in a sample of 320 university freshmen. Considering the theoretical assumptions and cultural differences, it is expected that specific parenting behaviors predict prevention and/or promotion self-regulatory focus. Especially, the dimensions of parental psychological control were expected to predict prevention focus. Participants completed multiple measures of parenting behaviors and self-regulatory focus. Self-regulatory focus was measured using both direct and indirect measures (i.e., value domains) considering the theoretical formulations underlying the indirect measures. The measures of specific parenting behaviors included parental support, behavioral control, psychological control, and overprotection. Results suggested that psychological control mainly predicts prevention focus. Whereas parental blaming and love withdrawal predicted prevention focus, guilt induction predicted promotion focus under certain conditions. Besides, parental overprotection was related with higher levels of both promotion and prevention self-regulatory focuses. As expected, parental behavioral control was associated with lower levels of prevention focus and parental support was associated with higher levels of promotion focus. Examination of the relationships between both types of self-regulatory focuses and the subscales of indirect measure comprised of value domains yielded results contradictory to the original formulations. For instance, contrary to the theoretical expectations, value domain of security was strongly associated with promotion focus rather than prevention focus, signifying a potential cultural difference. Finally, results have suggested that direct and indirect measures of self-regulatory focuses do not consistently overlap and they may measure different constructs. Results were discussed on the basis of the previous work in this area and further exploration was suggested to clarify the link between direct and indirect measures of self-regulatory focus and their links to parenting behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
Rationale: Nicotine is the addictive component in cigarettes which maintains cigarette smoking that subsequently leads to morbidity and mortality. There are growing regulatory efforts to lower the nicotine content in cigarettes so that they are minimally addictive. Valid methods for assessing the abuse liability of cigarettes are essential to these efforts. While subjective effect measures and hypothetical purchase tasks are appealing because they are far easier to administer, it is unclear whether these methods can be used to evaluate acute relative reinforcing, a critical component of abuse liability. This secondary analysis sought to evaluate the utility of one subjective effects measure, the modified Cigarette Evaluation Questionnaire (mCEQ), and one hypothetical purchase task, the Cigarette Purchase Task (CPT), for predicting acute relative reinforcing efficacy as measured by concurrent choice Self-Administration (SA)
Method: Current smokers (N=169) belonging to one of three vulnerable populations (socioeconomically disadvantaged women of childbearing age, opioid-maintained individuals, or individuals with affective disorders) participated in a multi-site, double blind study evaluating research cigarettes with varying levels of nicotine content (0.4, 2.4, 5.2, 15.8 mg/g). In Phase 1 (4 sessions, 1 research cigarette per session) participants completed the mCEQ and CPT following ad-lib smoking of the research cigarette. In Phase II (6 sessions) cigarette preference was assessed using two-dose concurrent choice tests. Difference scores were calculated for each of the five mCEQ subscales and five CPT indices for all six possible dose comparisons evaluated in Phase II. We evaluated the utility of the mCEQ subscale and CPT index difference scores for predicting preference for the higher dose in a given dose comparison using a mixed-model of repeated measures analysis of variance. Finally, we used stepwise regressions to determine which subscales and indices served as independent predictors of concurrent choice SA.
Results: Among mCEQ subscales, higher Satisfaction and Enjoyment of Respiratory Tract Sensation were independently predictive of higher dose preference in the choice testing regardless of dose comparison. There was a significant Satisfaction X Vulnerable Population interaction where increases in Satisfaction difference scores corresponded to greater changes in higher dose preference among socioeconomically disadvantaged women of childbearing age compared to other Vulnerable Populations. Among CPT indices, Elasticity was the only independent predictor of choice. However, there was a significant Elasticity X Dose Comparison X Vulnerable Population interaction associated with its predictive utility where the relationship between elasticity and choice differed by dose among opioid-maintained individuals. In a final model, including all subscales and indices, Satisfaction and Enjoyment of Respiratory Tract Sensations remained the only significant predictors of choice.
Discussion: Concurrent choice testing, subjective effects and hypothetical purchase tasks capture some common features of abuse liability. Concurrent choice testing and the Satisfaction subscale were the most concordant measures. The observation that CPT indices are not robust predictors of choice in a concurrent arrangement suggests this measure may have greater utility for capturing individual differences as opposed to isolating the acute relative reinforcing effects of nicotine. Nevertheless, all three measures can contribute to efforts to assess the abuse liability of cigarettes varying in nicotine dose and important work aimed at regulating these products to improve human health.

Full textAbstract:
The present study aimed to explore the culture specificity of student self-regulation and its supporting motivational attitudes. Specifically, it enquired about similarities and differences between Chilean and English 8 to 9 year-old students in terms of their expression of self-regulatory behaviours, the psychological factors underlying these behaviours, and the functionality of these behaviours for task performance. It also compared student adoption of achievement motivational attitudes as well as the functionality of these attitudes for investment of effort and self-regulatory activity between cultures. Finally, the role of classroom cultures for self-regulation was studied. In particular, it examined the effects of classrooms and the quality of teacher talk (teacher-to-student communicative interactions/demands), such as teacher ‘regulatory talk’ and ‘socio-motivational talk’, on student self-regulation. A quantitative approach to the analysis of qualitative data (i.e. videos of student behaviour engaged in 11 to 13 experimental tasks, semi-structured interviews, videoed literacy lessons) was adopted. Eight classrooms situated in different schools from Chile and England were part of the study. In total, 8 teachers and 49 students – one teacher and six to seven students per classroom – took active part in the study. Qualitative data was primarily analysed using observational scales (for student behaviour), thematic analysis (for interview data), as well as socio-cultural discourse analysis (for videoed lessons). Statistical techniques, such as Mann Whitney U test, Factor Analysis, Multinomial logistic regressions, and Multilevel regressions were then applied on numerical transformations of the data. Overall, results suggest that self-regulation and achievement motivational attitudes vary to important extents according to culture. Most interestingly, these varied between cultures not so much in terms of the degree to which children used or adopted them, but rather in terms of their functionality. Some key findings supporting this conclusion were: i) Strong similarities between English and Chilean children’s levels of self-regulatory behaviours; ii) substantial differences across country samples in relation to the psychological factors underlying the expression of specific self-regulatory behaviours; iii) the finding of evaluative actions being self-regulatory in England but not in Chile; iv) a higher variety of self-regulatory behaviours being predictive of task performance in England than in Chile; v) the fact that learned self-regulatory behaviours accounted for effects of effective metacognitive control on task performance in England but not Chile; vi) some important differences in the achievement motivational attitudes expressed by Chilean and English students; and vii) culture-specific functionalities of various achievement motivational attitudes with respect to student effort and self-regulatory behaviours. Moreover, results suggest that some aspects of children’s self-regulation and motivational attitudes develop as tools to adapt to classroom cultures, specifically to the learning interactions/demands socially afforded by teacher talk. Among key findings supporting this conclusion were: i) effects of classrooms on children’s cognitive, social, and motivational self-regulation behavioural strategies, and ii) clear effects of teacher ‘regulatory talk’ (e.g., teacher ‘self-regulatory talk’ predicting more planning and asking for clarifications in students) and ‘socio-motivational talk’ (e.g., teacher ‘talk against self-efficacy’ predicting higher dependency-oriented help-seeking in students) on those behaviours with respect to which classrooms were found to matter. Thus a theory about the culturally adaptive functionality (CAF) of self-regulation and motivational attitudes supporting self-regulation is developed throughout the thesis.

The concept of “Gifts to oneself” is wildly used in advertisement and marketing area. However, former studies are little and foucus on quality study. The study is quantity study which based on 306 samples and the results as follows： 1. Mood-regulation self-behavior in resources：the informants is unplanned and spent more money on mood-reparatory；the informants is planned and spent a reasonably large amount of money on mood-maintaining. 2. The main role of self-gift is self-rendered and self-reward and the feeling of guilt is low. In addition, the affect response of guilt of mood-reparatory is higher than mood-maintaining. 3. The affect-response cluster,including self-reward and esteem memorably and guilt melancholy：(1)Both two haved positive mood state and high repurchase likelihood in positive situation. (2) Self-reward and esteem memorably haved the siginificant higher repurchase likelihood in celebration situation. 4. The outcome of self-behavior is good-mood enhacement, good-mood retardation, bad-mood evaporation and bad-mood alleviation. (1)Good-mood enhacement lead to heightened satisfaction in mood-regulation and bad-mood alleviation lead to lowered satisfaction in mood-regulation. (2) Bad-mood evaporation haved repurchase likelihood in negative situation and good-mood enhacement haved reupuchase likelihood in celebration situation.

Most studies about Self-Regulatory Driving Behavior focus on health condition, driving skill and driving confidence factors, but according to Theory of Planned Behavior ,driver’s attitude, subject norm and perceived behavior control are also an important factor which influences drivers’ behaviors. The study aim to explore the relationship between attitude, subject norm, perceived behavior control, also add risk perception and self-regulatory driving behavior. A completed questionnaire was returned by 88.2% of them (N=450). A series of structural equation analyses indicate that all of risk perception, attitude, subject norm and perceived behavior control have significant influences on behavior intention. The result also shows that behavior intention and perceived behavior control have significant influences on behaviors. The result also shows that Accustomed to the use of vehicle has significant differences in the model of Self-Regulatory Driving behaviors.

A Saúde Oral é fundamental para a saúde, bem-estar e qualidade de vida. A prevalência e a recorrência das doenças orais constituem uma epidemia silenciosa. Um controlo eficaz do biofilme dentário é um pilar da saúde gengival. Por isso, ajudar a melhorar e manter os níveis de higiene oral dos pacientes, deve ser o principal objetivo dos profissionais de saúde oral que se dedicam ao tratamento das doenças periodontais e manutenção da saúde. A investigação descrita envolveu 246 pacientes e teve por objetivo explorar os efeitos de novas tecnologias, nomeadamente a câmara intraoral (CIO) e o telemóvel, através da utilização de mensagens de texto (SMS), na promoção de comportamentos de higiene oral, em adultos com gengivite. As intervenções foram baseadas em teoria sobre a mudança de comportamentos de saúde e o modelo teórico utilizado foi o Health Action Process Approach (HAPA). Foram realizados quatro estudos, no primeiro investigou-se a utilidade da CIO numa consulta de saúde oral; no segundo a utilidade das SMS e no terceiro os benefícios da utilização conjunta de ambas as tecnologias (SMS e CIO) para comportamentos de higiene oral. Nestes três primeiros estudos demonstrou-se a importância da utilização de diferentes tecnologias no decorrer da consulta de saúde oral e o seu efeito em variáveis comportamentais, clínicas e psicológicas. No quarto estudo verificou-se a utilidade do modelo HAPA, bem como os constructos mais importantes para os comportamentos de higiene oral. Os estudos apresentados permitiram compreender a importância das teorias psicológicas nas intervenções em saúde oral, bem como a utilização de novas tecnologias como parte de uma estratégia com vista a uma maior eficácia no controlo da gengivite e na promoção de mudanças e manutenção de comportamentos em saúde oral. As intervenções educacionais em saúde oral devem, portanto, prestar atenção especial a estratégias baseadas em intervenções psicológicas de mudança comportamental e na utilização de tecnologias que possam facilitar e melhorar a sua eficácia em pacientes adultos com doenças gengivais.Oral Health is fundamental to health, well-being, and quality of life. The prevalence and recurrence of oral diseases is a silent epidemic. Effective control of the dental biofilm is a pillar for gingival health. Therefore, helping to improve and maintain patients' oral hygiene levels should be a goal for all oral health professionals who are dedicated to treating periodontal disease and maintaining health. This research, involving 246 patients, aimed to explore the impact of new technologies, including the intraoral camera and mobile phones, through the use of text messaging to promote oral health behaviors in adults with gingival disease. The interventions were theory-based and the theoretical framework used was the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA). Four studies, described over 4 chapters, were conducted. The first study investigated the usefulness of the intraoral camera in an oral health appointment; the second, the usefulness of text messages; and the third, the usefulness of the coaction of both technologies (intraoral camera and text messages). The first three studies demonstrated the importance of using different technologies during the oral health appointments, showing their effect on behavioral, clinical, and psychological variables. In study 4, the utility of the model was verified, as were the most important constructs for oral hygiene behaviors. The studies presented here demonstrate the importance of psychological theories in oral health interventions, as well as of using new technologies as part of a strategy aimed at promoting the change and maintenance of oral health behaviors for greater effectiveness in controlling gingivitis. Oral health educational interventions should therefore pay particular attention to strategies based on psychological determinants of behavior change and the use of technologies that can facilitate and improve the effectiveness of those determinants in adult patients with gingival diseases.

Full textAbstract:
Die Nutzung von Mobiltelefonen während des Fahrens, vor allem das Lesen und Verfassen von Textnachrichten („Texting“), hat in den letzten Jahren drastisch zugenommen und stellt ein wachsendes Risiko für die Verkehrssicherheit dar. Es ist bekannt, dass visuell-manuelle Zweitaufgaben wie Texting die Fahrleistung negativ beeinträchtigen und das Unfallrisiko erheblich erhöhen. Gleichzeitig gibt es jedoch auch Hinweise darauf, dass Fahrer eine Reihe von selbstregulatorischen Verhaltensweisen nutzen, um die erhöhten Anforderungen durch die Zweitaufgabenbearbeitung beim Fahren auszugleichen. Die meisten Befunde zur selbstregulatorischen Verhaltensanpassung während der Zweitaufgabenbearbeitung beim Fahren beruhen allerdings auf experimentellen Studien, in denen die Versuchspersonen in künstlichen Verkehrsumgebungen fahren und oftmals nicht frei entscheiden können, ob und wann sie eine Zweitaufgabe aufnehmen. Ziel der vorliegenden Dissertation war es, selbstregulatorisches Verhalten basierend auf Daten aus sogenannten Naturalistic Driving Studies zu untersuchen und damit das Verständnis über ein Themengebiet zu verbessern, welches lange Zeit vernachlässigt wurde. Der Fokus lag dabei auf mobiltelefonbezogenen Aufgaben.
Die Dissertation besteht aus fünf empirischen Artikeln sowie einer kurzen Synopse, in der theoretische Grundlagen zum Thema betrachtet sowie die Ergebnisse übergreifend zusammengefasst und diskutiert werden. Für die Studien, die den empirischen Artikeln zugrunde liegen, wurden Daten aus zwei großangelegten Naturalistic Driving Studies kodiert und analysiert – der US-amerikanischen SHRP 2 (Second Strategic Highway Research Program) Naturalistic Driving Study sowie der europäischen UDRIVE (European naturalistic Driving and Riding for Infrastructure & Vehicle safety and Environment) Naturalistic Driving Study.
Das erste Forschungsziel der Dissertation bestand darin, selbstregulatorisches Verhalten in Form von Geschwindigkeitsanpassung zu untersuchen. Der Fokus lag dabei auf Fahrten, bei denen die Fahrer auf der Autobahn und im freien Verkehrsfluss fuhren. Für das Telefonieren mit dem Mobiltelefon ergab die Analyse der SHRP 2 Daten, dass Fahrer ihre Geschwindigkeit während des Telefonierens nicht reduzieren. Für Texting zeigten sich kleine Hinweise für eine Geschwindigkeitsanpassung, vor allem während des Fahrens mit höheren Geschwindigkeiten. Bei der Analyse der UDRIVE Daten konnten hingegen deutlichere Ergebnisse gefunden werden. Fahrer reduzierten ihre Geschwindigkeit nach dem Initiieren von Texting und erhöhten ihre Geschwindigkeit nach dem Beenden von Texting – in beiden Fällen um mehr als 2 km/h. Europäische Fahrer scheinen also „mehr“ selbstregulatorisches Verhalten zu zeigen als US-amerikanische Fahrer. Gründe für diese unterschiedlichen Befunde könnten in der Verkehrsinfrastruktur, der Fahrzeugausstattung sowie in den Stichprobencharakteristiken liegen.
Das zweite Forschungsziel bezog sich auf die Identifikation der Orte, an denen das Mobiltelefon vor Beginn der mobiltelefonbezogenen Aufgabe verstaut wird, sowie deren Einfluss auf das Blickverhalten der Fahrer. Die Analyse der UDRIVE Daten zeigte, dass vor Beginn des Textings das Mobiltelefon zumeist offen und in Reichweite lag. Ähnliche Ergebnisse wurden bei der Analyse der SHRP 2 Daten für das Telefonieren gefunden. Die meisten Fahrer verstauten das Mobiltelefon in unmittelbarer Reichweite (z.B. auf dem Schoß). Bei einem Großteil dieser Fälle wurde darüber hinaus der Anruf vom Fahrer selbst initiiert. Dies lässt vermuten, dass sich Fahrer auf selbstinitiierte Anrufe vorbereiten und ihr Mobiltelefon in der Nähe verstauen, um den Aufwand des Suchens bzw. Greifens nach dem Mobiltelefon so gering wie möglich zu halten. Wenn sich das Mobiltelefon auf dem Beifahrersitz oder in der Tasche befand, war der Anruf zumeist eingehend. Die Analysen des Blickverhaltens in der Initiierungsphase eines Telefonats (d.h. wenn nach dem Mobiltelefon gesucht und gegriffen wird) zeigten, dass die Dauer der auf die Straße gerichteten Blicke tendenziell (allerdings nicht signifikant) zunimmt je weiter weg das Mobiltelefon verstaut wird, während kein Unterschied zwischen den Ablageorten hinsichtlich der Dauer der Blickabwendungen von der Straße erkennbar war. Dieser Befund legt nahe, dass Fahrer die Aufmerksamkeit, welche sie auf die primäre Fahraufgabe richten, in Abhängigkeit der Zweitaufgabenanforderung anpassen.
Im Rahmen des dritten Forschungsziels der Dissertation wurden die Verkehrskontexte identifiziert, in denen Fahrer mobiltelefonbezogene Aufgaben vermehrt aufnehmen. Mit Ausnahme des Telefonierens initiierten die Fahrer mobiltelefonbezogene Aufgaben signifikant häufiger, wenn das Fahrzeug stand (z.B. an einer roten Ampel). Darüber hinaus wurde signifikant weniger getextet, wenn die Fahrer in einem konstanten Verkehrsfluss fuhren oder abbogen. Folglich scheinen Verkehrskontexte mit geringen Anforderungen an die primäre Fahraufgabe für die Aufnahme mobiltelefonbezogener Aufgaben präferiert zu werden. Dieser Befund konnte ebenfalls in einer weiteren Untersuchung bestätigt werden, bei welcher der Fokus auf Ampelsituationen lag. Texting wurde im Vergleich zum Telefonieren signifikant häufiger während des Stehens an der Ampel begonnen als auch beendet. Dies deutet daraufhin, dass Fahrer versuchen, die Dauer des Textings auf die Rotlichtphase zu beschränken. Aus den Blickanalysen ging hervor, dass Fahrer, die an der Ampel texteten, mehr als die Hälfte der Zeit auf das Mobiltelefon und somit nicht auf die Straße schauten. Es gab zudem einen beachtenswerten Teil an Fahrern, die Texting erst nach dem Wiederlosfahren beendeten, was das Situationsbewusstsein erheblich beeinträchtigen und sich damit negativ auf die Verkehrssicherheit auswirken kann.
Die Ergebnisse dieser Dissertation zeigen, dass Daten aus Naturalistic Driving Studies nicht nur verwendet werden können, um bereits bestehende Befunde aus experimentellen Studien zu validieren, sondern auch um neue Erkenntnisse bezüglich selbstregulatorischen Verhaltens während der Zweitaufgabenbearbeitung beim Fahren unter natürlichen Verkehrsbedingungen zu gewinnen. Die vorliegende Arbeit leistet damit einen Forschungsbeitrag im Bereich der Fahrerablenkung. In zukünftigen Untersuchungen sollte das Zusammenspiel zwischen strategischen und operationalen Verhaltensweisen sowie der Einfluss von individuellen Faktoren auf die selbstregulatorische Verhaltensanpassung thematisiert werden. Darüber hinaus stellen die Befunde einen Ausgangspunkt für die Ableitung praktischer Maßnahmen dar. Zur Erhöhung der Verkehrssicherheit könnten beispielsweise sogenannte Workload-Management-Systeme den Fahrer während einer Zweitaufgabenbearbeitung in kritischen (z.B. während des Fahrens mit hohen Geschwindigkeiten) oder in vermeintlich einfachen Verkehrsumgebungen (z.B. während des Stehens an einer roten Ampel) unterstützen, sodass die Aufmerksamkeit (rechtzeitig) auf die primäre Fahraufgabe gelenkt wird.:Danksagung i

Proactive behavior now is an essential research issue, which concerns with the psychological mechanism of making things happen, and focus on a seris of self-initiated, change-oriented and future-focused actions that directs to improve the situation or oneself. Recently, the research approach in proactivity started to put the aim on the individual’s career development, and researcher attempted to capture the antecedents and mechanisms of proactive behavior from the view of individual’s motivation. Drawing on the contention, this study extended the findings of Strauss, Griffin, and Parker (2012) to exam the motivation- behavior mechanism. The author applied the chronic focus (regulatory focus) as the antecedent variable of future work self-salience and proactive career behavior for examing the relations among the three variables. Also, this study based on the approach of positive psychology to test the relations among chronic focus, future work self-salience, and subjective well-being. In study one, 228 college students were recruited as the research participant for confirming the psychometrics properties of Chinese version of future work self-salience measure, future orientation measure, and proactive career behavior. The findings provided an empirical support that the three measures revealed well reliability and validity. Study two replicated the study one, the author took 225 physical education college students as research participants, the author recomfirmed the factor solution and construct validity of three measures. Furthermore, the results showed that promotion focus was significantly associated with proactive career behavior via future work self-salience, and promotion focus was significantly associated with subjective well-being via future work self-salience as well. In line with the theoretical suggestions of proactivity, the findings indicated that promotion focus play important roles in shaping students’ proactive career behavior and promoting psychological adjustment. When students with promotion focus are more likely to reveal salient future work self, which would enhance proactive career behavior and subjective well-being respectively. According to the findings of this study suggests that future research can investigate the regulatory fit effect (i.e. interaction between chronic focus and situation), and the longitudinal and experimental methods are recommended. In addition, this study suggests that future research can extend the proactivity concept to different contexts by using the Chinese version measure in this study. Finally, the findings suggest that the students’ motivational tendancy should be considered before the implement of career counseling intervention.

One-hundred and seventy-seven high-school students and two-hundred responded to a survey assessing their motivation (goal orientations, expectancies, and values), self-regulation (cognitive, behavior, and emotion), learning processes, academic behaviors, and grades in the favorite and least favorite classes. First, multiple pathways to academic success were examined by comparing how motivation leads to academic outcomes (learning processes, academic behaviors, and grades) via self-regulation in high school and college by using structural equation modeling. As expected, the findings support the stance that there are different ways to achieve academic success. Surprisingly, emotion regulation mediated the relations between motivation and learning processes in favorite classes. Additionally, combinations of self-regulation were examined separately for type of class (favorite/least favorite) and age group (high school/college) using latent class analyses. As expected, these regulatory profiles mediated the relations between motivation and academic outcomes, found with structural equation modeling. Interestingly, students in the attention regulation profile, who were high on attention but low on other regulatory capacities, performed lower than those who tend to be high regulators. However, those who were members in the emotion regulator profile did not differ from high regulators. Behavior regulation was a mediator for college students but not high school students. The findings underscore the importance of considering cognitive, behavior, and emotion regulation in considering the relations between motivation to academic outcomes.

The aim of this study is using the theory of regulatory focus and self-efficacy as well as off-campus English-learning to discuss the factors influencing the English-learning achievement of junior high school students. Questionnaire research method was employed and 447 students of grades 8 & 9 from a junior high school located at southern Taoyuan were sampled. After deleting incompletely answered questionnaire samples, the useful samples are about 96%. The consequential relationship of the acquired sample data is analyzed using the partial least squares(PLS) of structural equation model, and statistically tested using descriptive statistic, factor analysis, reliability and validity analysis, and one-way ANOVA analysis. The results of this study are listed below: 1. The more the English-learning of students using promotion focus, the higher their off-campus English-learning hours and self-efficacy. 2. The employment of prevention focus in the students’ English-learning is not significantly related to off-campus English-learning hours, however, the more the prevention focus is employed, the lower the self-efficacy. 3. The higher the students’ off-campus English-learning hours, the higher their self-efficacy and English exam ranking. 4. Students’ off-campus English-learning hours and their English exam score ranking improvement are not significantly related. 5. Self-efficacy and the ranking improvement in English-learning are not significantly related. 6. The social and economic status of the students’ families significantly influences their English-learning conditions and results. Finally, according to our research results, several suggestions are provided for the reference of the parents, education authorities, and interested future researchers.

Full textAbstract:
Recent conceptualizations of procrastination suggest that procrastination is akin to self-regulatory failure wherein the effect of good intentions is attenuated for individuals who tend to procrastinate. Some researchers speculate that this effect is due to subtle neurological deficits that make it more difficult for procrastinators to follow through with completing tasks. The present work examines this claim while also investigating two factors that should theoretically weaken the effect of intentions for engaging unpleasant, but important, tasks – namely habitual avoidance and the executive function of inhibition.
Study 1 investigated the question of whether chronic avoidance patterns may become so entrenched that they take on the qualities of a habit. This is important because habits are known to be less reliant on intentions because they are triggered in a relatively automatic fashion. Habit indices were created which assessed the degree to which the experience of avoiding particular tasks was automatic and self-descriptive in nature (Verplanken & Orbell, 2003). The results confirmed the expectation that more frequent avoidance patterns are experienced as occurring relatively automatically. Habit-like avoidance can be measured reliably and is related to other constructs in expected ways. For example, habit-level predicts reduced task quality and lower rates of task completion above-and-beyond motivational variables (e.g. intentions). Finally, habit-like avoidance patterns were more often associated with stable features identified by participants as being present in the environment. Using a prospective design, Study 2 assessed the degree to which existing habitual-avoidance patterns weakened the effect of good intentions to carry out unpleasant tasks over the course of a week. Several computer tasks at Time 1 were also used to assess inhibitory control or the degree to which participants could inhibit prepotent responses. In addition to personality traits which purportedly moderate the intention-behaviour relation (e.g. trait procrastination), the moderating effects of habitual avoidance and inhibitory control were also tested. Trait-level procrastination did not weaken the effect of one’s intentions to carry out unpleasant tasks. However, habitual avoidance and inhibitory control jointly moderated the effect of intentions on behaviour such that poor inhibitors had difficulty overcoming previous avoidance habits in order to complete unpleasant tasks during the week. In contrast, good inhibitors were able to behave according to their intentions irrespective of habit-like avoidance patterns. These findings point to the importance of recognizing the joint influence of avoidance patterns and regulatory capacities involved in self-control when understanding procrastination behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
Touch serves as one of the primary means of external emotion regulation for infants. Despite the important role for touch in infants’ emotion regulation, research examining its relationship to infants’ self-regulatory behaviors is scant. Understanding the relationship between internal and external means of regulation, such as touch, is necessary given the pivotal roles caregivers play in infant emotion regulation.
The current dissertation assessed how maternal touch and infants’ self-regulatory behaviors contribute to infants’ emotion regulation in two studies. Study 1a examined maternal touch and infants’ self-regulatory behaviors in full-term and very-low-birth-weight preterm infant-mother dyads during a Still-Face (SF) procedure. Across periods, the functions of touch used by mothers varied while infants increased their use of self-regulatory behaviors during the SF period. Full-term infants displayed more self-comfort regulatory behaviors following the SF period. Furthermore, functions of maternal touch were associated with infants’ self-regulatory behaviors. Study 1b examined the association between maternal nurturing touch and infants’ self-regulatory behaviors, and infants’ smiling and distress level. Mothers of full-term infants were found to increase their use of nurturing touch when their infants exhibited distress. Furthermore, maternal touch and infants’ self-regulatory behaviors were associated with infants’ smiling.
Study 2 investigated maternal touch and infants’ self-regulatory behaviors during a modified Still-Face with Touch (SF+T) procedure consisting of one Normal period followed by three SF+T periods. Maternal touch modulated infants’ responses to the SF and their reliance on their own regulatory behaviors. Although mothers varied the functions of touch they used across the periods, infants used similar amounts of self-regulatory behaviors. Finally, maternal touch and infants’ self-regulatory behaviors were temporally organized with infants’ affect and attention.
Results from these studies highlight the role of maternal touch as a regulatory strategy and mothers’ ability to use only one modality of communication, touch, to regulate their infants’ affect and attention. Results also extend our knowledge of infants’ emotion regulation by documenting the central roles that both mothers and infants play. Finally, results offer insight on the effect of prematurity on infants’ self-regulatory abilities and on the quality of maternal touch.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Multiple studies have shown the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) can impair driving performance. Studies have also found elevated crash rates in drivers with PD, however, none have controlled for exposure or amount of driving. Although a few studies have suggested that drivers with PD may self-regulate (e.g., by reducing exposure or avoiding challenging situations), findings were based on self-report data. Studies with healthy older drivers have shown that objective driving data is more accurate than self-estimates.
Purposes: The primary objectives of this study were to examine whether drivers with PD restrict their driving (exposure and patterns) relative to an age-matched control group and explore possible reasons for such restrictions: trip purposes, perceptions of driving comfort and abilities, as well as depression, disease severity and symptoms associated with PD.
Methods: A convenience sample of 27 drivers with PD (mean 71.6±6.6, range 57 to 82, 78% men) and 20 age-matched control drivers from the same region (70.6±7.9, range 57 to 84, 80% men) were assessed between October 2009 and August 2010. Driving data was collected for two weeks using two electronic devices (one with GPS) installed in each person‟s vehicle. Participants completed trip logs, questionnaires on background and usual driving habits, and measures of cognitive functioning, depression, quality of life, daytime sleepiness, driving comfort and abilities. Contrast sensitivity and brake response time were also assessed. Severity of PD was assessed using the Unified Parkinson‟s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) motor scores. An interview was conducted at the end of the second assessment to examine influence of the devices, driving problems and any departures from usual patterns over the monitoring period.
Results: Of the 128 PD patients screened for possible study participation, 35% had already stopped driving. Former drivers were older, more likely to be women and had poorer UPDRS motor scores. Only 48% of those who were eligible for the study agreed to participate. Compared to controls, the PD group had significantly slower brake response times, higher depression and quality of life scores, less comfort driving at night and poorer perceptions of their driving abilities. The PD group also had significantly lower cognitive functioning scores than controls, and a significantly greater proportion (74% versus 45%) were classified as having mild cognitive impairment. Compared to vehicle recordings, both groups mis-estimated the amount they drove over two weeks (measurement error was 94 km for the PD group and 210 km for the controls). The PD group drove significantly less overall (days, trips, distance and duration), at night, on week-ends and in bad weather and for different purposes. Four of the PD drivers had minor accidents over the two weeks, while one lost his license.
Conclusions: Self-estimates of exposure were inaccurate warranting the continued use of objective driving data. Overall, the findings suggest that drivers with PD appear to restrict their driving exposure and patterns relative to controls. The PD group were more likely to combine several activities into one trip, possibly due to fatigue. Moreover, they were more likely than controls to drive for medical appointments and less likely to drive for leisure activities and make out of town trips. The findings need to be replicated with larger samples and longer monitoring periods to examine changes in self-regulatory practices associated with disease progression and symptomatology. Other researchers are also likely to have similar difficulty in recruiting drivers with PD as this group may quit driving at an earlier age and those who are still driving are fearful of being reported to licensing authorities. Future studies also need to screen for cognitive impairment which often goes undetected, particularly in otherwise healthy drivers.

This study was motivated by previous experiences as a teacher and the growing interest to understand how children self-regulate in different ways. It is expected to bring attention to the way perception and support of a parent and teacher influences the self-regulatory strategies of a 9-year-old child within a single-parent family. Self-Regulation refers to the ability to control one’s thoughts, behaviours and emotions. Naturalistic observations of a participant and qualitative interviews with him, his parents as well as teachers were utilised. A single participant was studied to establish a focused and specific research. Results indicated that the participant’s personality; approach to behaviour management; self control strategies and moral development influenced the parent and teacher’s perception of his behaviour. While their methods to support the participant’s self-regulatory behaviour were based on behaviour management; classroom management; instructional strategies and a strong father-son relationship. Implications of this study suggested that the level of morality, cognitive development and the father-son relationships were strong contributing factors to positive self-regulatory behaviours. In conclusion, it can be said that children’s self-regulatory behaviour have both internal and external influences which play a vital role in future motivated prosocial behaviours. Keywords: self-regulatory behaviour, single-parent families, moral development, self-image

The purpose of this study was to explore how personalized learning integrated with data visualization and self-regulatory strategies influences online learner’s self-regulation and sequential behavioral patterns. Participants were 182 graduate students, who were randomly assigned into four groups: control group, self-regulation group, data visualization group, and self-regulation with data visualization group. The instruments include the Online Self-regulated Learning Questionnaire and prior-knowledge test; additionally, the behavioral logs were recorded to explore learner’s sequential behavioral patterns. The experimental procedure is as follows. First, the Online Self-regulated Learning Questionnaire and prior-knowledge test were administered. Second, learners engaged in the personalized learning system where they perused the learning materials about research ethics education and completed the tests. Finally, they completed the post-test of the Online Self-regulated Learning Questionnaire. The results demonstrated that the use of data visualization function improves goal setting and help-seeking dimensions of self-regulation. In addition, self-regulation integrated with data visualization improved learner’s self-evaluation, so that after witnessing their performance, learners perused the learning materials again, and reviewed learning materials after receiving their test scores. Therefore, self-regulation integrated with data visualization effectively enhanced students’ self-regulation. This study suggests that course developers should incorporate data visualization functions into the designs of online learning courses. Furthermore, strategies of self-regulation (e.g., goal setting, time management) should be provided so as to guide data visualization and improve students’ self-learning. The findings of the study can serve as the references for online course designers and educators.

Full textAbstract:
In spite of the existing literature on this topic, the role that outplacement counseling performs within job search process is still unknown, namely regarding the effect it has on the psychological processes that precede job search behaviours. This study aims to analyze the relationship between some emotion-linked variables within the process of finding a new job by offering a comparison between unemployed individuals that had formal outplacement support versus no structured support. Results suggest a partial moderating effect of outplacement, once it interacts with some relationships in the overall research model. Psychological capital was found to be an inert variable; anxiety and depression were found to be related with emotional regulation variables and, in outplacement model, cognitive reappraisal was found to positively related with anxiety that, in turn, positively act on job search behaviours. Self-efficacy was the foremost predictor of job search as well as a mediator of psychological capital and, only in non-outplacement group, of depression’s relationship with job search behaviours. The contributions of these results for human resources professionals and outplacement counselors are discussed and supported with suggestions for future research.Apesar da literatura existente sobre este tópico, o papel que o Outplacement realiza no âmbito do processo de procura de emprego permanece desconhecido, nomeadamente no que concerne ao efeito que este tem nos processos psicológicos que precedem comportamentos de procura de emprego. Este estudo pretende analisar a relação entre certas variáveis emocionais dentro do processo de encontrar um novo trabalho, oferecendo, para tal, uma comparação entre indivíduos desempregados que tiveram apoio formal de Outplacement versus sem apoio estruturado. Resultados sugerem um efeito de moderação parcial do outplacement, uma vez que este interage com algumas relações no nosso modelo geral de investigação. O capital psicológico revelou ser uma variável inerte; ansiedade e depressão demonstraram estar relacionadas com as variáveis de regulação emocional e, no modelo de outplacement, a reavaliação cognitiva relacionou-se positivamente com ansiedade que, por seu turno, actuou positivamente nos comportamentos de procura de emprego. Autoeficácia foi o preditor mais importante da procura de emprego, bem como mediador da relação entre capital psicológico e, apenas no grupo não-outplacement, da depressão com os comportamentos de procura de emprego. Os contributos destes resultados para profissionais de recursos humanos e consultores de outplacement são discutidos e suportados com sugestões para investigação futura.
