“…Aligned with Anderson and Fowers, it is confirmed that lifestyle behaviors, related to physical and mental health, generate the well-known hedonic well-being, which is based on satisfaction with life, positive emotions, and low negative emotions; that is, well-being and social interaction are intimately related, affecting the lifestyle of individuals, those who are more sociable tend to perform more physical activity and mental stability, they point out [15].…”

This document proposes a new methodology for lifestyle analysis and disease diagnosis for young academics using a strategic planning and disruptive innovation approach. Its objective is to consider and study a new form of treatment to improve the quality of life and health of students in parallel with their development, this through a quantitative methodology with a descriptive-correlational scope, being possible to develop a diagnosis and analysis, resulting A high relationship between variables is evident, thus developing a preliminary model based on engineering in the process of improving lifestyles through the Deming cycle and based on the S curve of innovation, hand in hand with technology and motivation.

“…It has been found that poorer diet, lower physical activity, and harmful habits have a significant impact on greater distress. According to researchers, less distress occurs in those individuals who are active and have a social connection (Anderson & Fowers, 2020). Adherence to the Mediterranean diet is also associated with fewer depressive symptoms, and many studies have relied on its principles for managing depression (Altun, Brown, Szoeke, & Goodwill, 2019).…”

Background. Negative health-related behaviours among young adults are common worldwide. Most of young males are physically inactive, have poor diets, drink a lot of alcohol or smoke, and such behavior causes physical and mental health disorders (Aubert et al., 2018). Nowadays more mental health problems are diagnosed among young people than a decade. Researchers are trying to determine the causes of harmful behaviour in adults, but the impact of previous physical education on further health-related behaviours in adults has not been studied. Methods. Physical activity, alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking was evaluated according to the 2008 US Department of Defense Survey of Health Related Behaviours (Bray et al., 2009). Adherence to a healthy eating pattern was evaluated using the Mediterranean diet adherence screener (MEDAS). Psychological distress was assessed using the six-item Kessler scale (Kessler et al., 2003). Results. Nearly half of young adults were physically inactive, ate poorly, had harmful habits, one of ten had high psychological distress. Two thirds of the respondents participated in sports in childhood, 61% of young people liked the physical education lessons, 44% of them attended every PE lesson. Lower distress was significantly associated with better nutrition, higher physical activity, lower alcohol consumption, and smoking. Also, significant associations were found between higher alcohol consumption and more frequent smoking. Higher incomes, younger age, better perception and attendance of PE classes in the past, active lifestyle in childhood and adulthood are the predictive factors of more favourable health-related behaviours and better mental health. Conclusions. Harmful health-related behaviours are prevalent among young adults, one of tenth has high psychological distress. Although the majority of young adults were active in childhood, the percentage of active adults decreases significantly. More favourable health-related behaviours are related to less distress. Better economic status, better PE experiences in childhood, sports activities in adulthood lead to better health-related behaviours and less distress. Keywords: young adults, health-related behaviours, mental health, physical education.

“…Diaries are commonly used to investigate psychological processes in everyday life situations. They are common within work and organizational psychology (Ohly et al, 2010), health psychology (Anderson & Fowers, 2020;Zepeda & Deal, 2008), and in particular in professional education science to support self-regulated learning and academic performance (Ebil et al, 2020;Wallin & Adawi, 2018). A diary is "a frequently kept, often daily, record of personal experiences and observations in which ongoing thoughts, feelings, and ideas can be expressed" without being observed or judged by someone else (Travers, 2011, p. 204).…”

Sufficiency (i.e. adequacy, enoughness) is a sustainability strategy aiming for (1) a decrease in absolute resource consumption on individual and societal levels and (2) for social and ecological justice and the fair distribution of costs and benefits of resource use to meet every human’s basic needs. This study aimed at examining a longitudinal intervention to foster sufficiency orientation at the individual level. We recruited N=252 participants who participated in a one-week reflective diary-intervention to increase sufficiency orientation in every-day life and assessed sufficiency orientation, basic psychological need satisfaction, self-reflection, subjective well-being, and time affluence before (T1), directly after (T2), and four weeks after the intervention (T3). Contrary to our predictions, there was no significant difference between the experimental and the control group. Nevertheless, people with higher basic psychological need satisfaction and subjective well-being reported higher sufficiency orientation. Given the positive relation of basic psychological need satisfaction and sufficiency orientation, targeting basic psychological need satisfaction as an underlying driver seems to be a promising avenue for designing effective interventions. Employing a needs-based, humanistic approach to design psychological interventions is in line with the aims of sufficiency to meet every human’s basic needs, in a both socially and ecologically just world.
