Relevant Variables in the Stimulation of Psychological Well-Being in Physical Education: A Systematic Review

Abstract

This study is based on the need to explore the different strategies and interventions that seek to develop psychological well-being (PW) in scholars (children and adolescents aged 9–19 years) through physical education and school sports by bearing in mind other variables that can extensively facilitate PW in these students. This study analyzed 504 research works published between 2010 and 2020, and 23 were selected for this review because they met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that the most studied variables were: motivation, academic performance, teaching climate in physical education (PE) teaching styles, parents’ relationships and school environment. The literature review carried out in this study reveals the need to consider PW with other relevant variables, and the importance of doing so from a community approach, in which all systems (parents, school and government) are active participants, and contribute to generate a positive environment for all. Finally, school professionals should be aware of the need to stimulate their students’ PW because government organizations should be interested in promoting such a policy in this population.

Work from home, wellness, and well-being: The effects on the teachers’ individual work performance in the new normal

“…Further, Pham and Phan (2021) and Yin et al (2016) have contrasting findings in identifying wellness as determinants. Among the teachers, psychological wellness is more dominant factor of individual work performance than physical health and wellness as also argued by Pérez-Ordás (2022). Our research supports the findings of Comighuid & Arevalo, 2021) that the teacher's motivation level does not affect the teacher's individual work performance in the class environment regardless of the gender, age, length of service, monthly income, and educational attainment.…”

“…The majority of the reviewed articles had settings other than the Philippines. Hwang et al (2017), Fute et al (2022), andPérez-Ordás et al (2022) had comprehensive research and variables that were measured, explained, and were comparable with the measurements of constructs in this study.…”

Transcultural adaptation and psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Life Skills Scale For Sport: LSSS-S

“…Self Determination Theory 25 is one of the promising theories for understanding such mechanisms 26 . The development of LS has been related, among others, to the satisfaction of basic psychological needs 17 , intrinsic motivation and friendship goals 27 , Personal and Social Responsibility 28 , Well-being 29,30 or Prosocial behaviour 31 . Recently, some authors have equally focused on how those skills can be transferred from PE to other everyday contexts, because otherwise they could not be considered LS 32,33 .…”
