This research aimed to show children talent in archery by using the base of anthropometric, physical condition, and archery skill. This is descriptive research, and the data was collected by survey. Populations of this research are elementary school students in Yogyakarta and Central Java. Samples are chosen using purposive sampling technique with some criteria, such as: (1) Students of states and private school, (2) Students are the member of Archery Club and actively practice, (3) Samples are 31 persons, (4) Students are filling terms and condition sheet for joining this research. Data are collected by test and measurement in any aspects, such as (1) Height and Weight, (2) Arm Span, (3) Kinesthetic Perception Test, (4) Sit and Reach, (5) Standing Balance, (6) Wall Sit, (7) Side Learning Test, (8) Hand Dynamometer, (9) Endurance, and (10) Archery Skills. The data analysis uses descriptive statistics (tabulation frequency). The result of this research shows that students’ talent in archery is for: Very Talented (12), Talented (5), Quite Talented (8), and Not Talented (6).

“…Goal-oriented behaviour would not be realised without the suppression of competing desires or impulses, an important suppression that often requires great effort [ 39 ]. Self-control as studied for many years has often been used as a synonym for other concepts from self-regulation to delayed gratification or self-control strategies such as control of emotions, impulses and desires [ 38 , 40 , 41 ]. On the basis of action control theory, the term ‘habitual self-control’ is defined as a relatively stable tendency to persistently pursue a goal [ 42 ].…”

Persistence Is Multi-Trait: Persistence Scale Development and Persistence Perseveration and Perfectionism Questionnaire into Polish Translation

2023

Persistence is defined as, among other ways, the need to achieve the goals and strive for the goal. Persistence can also be considered from the perspective of the resource concept, as a positive factor related to an individual’s adaptive behaviour, psychological resilience, and normal self-regulation. In contrast, tendencies behaviourally similar to perseverance, but which may have psychopathological features, are persistence and perfectionism. The main goal of our study was to: (I) Build non-clinical Persistence Scale (PS) in Polish and English; (II) translate in Polish and validate the Persistence, Perfectionism and Perseveration Questionnaire (PPPQ); (III) analyse properties of both scales. Methods: The study was conducted on a non-clinical group of 306 subjects. The mean age was 27.6 and ranged from 18 to 58 years. The properties of both scales were analysed using the NEO-FFI personality inventory, PSS-10 Perceived stress level scale, The UPPS-P Impulsive Behaviour Scale, the SPSRQ Sensitivity to Punishment and Reward scale, Grit scale and NAS-50 Self-Control Scale. Results: The psychometric features of the scales fulfil the requirements for psychometric tools. The factorial structure of both versions of the PS-20 scale proved to be unifactorial. Openness was the only variable to co-occur with the persistence scales of both the PS-20 and the PPPQ-10, and did not co-occur with scales intended to indicate psychopathology (Perseveration, Perfectionism). Negative correlations occurred with variables describing Persistence with levels of perceived stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Impulsivity measured by the SUPPS scale also showed negative correlations with the study variables. Conclusions: In the present work, we postulate that persistence is an umbrella construct that gathers and integrates many other traits to form a multi-trait persistence. Perseveration should be regarded as an undesirable trait characterising psychopathological behaviour. Desirable and indicative traits of an individual’s good functioning are persistence and, to some extent, perfectionism. Individuals with low persistence and high perseveration may be characterised by a repertoire of psychopathological behaviours.

“…The cortisol response was a key index to stress as the end release of increased HPA axis activity, implying optimal biological functioning (McEwen, 2005). With the help of cortisol secretion, the biological energy is released and transferred into the resources individuals need to motivate behaviors (McEwen, 1998; Steel et al, 2021b). Physical as well as mental resources are in turn mobilized and allocated to support individuals with adaptive coping strategies, and focused attention to deal with threatening events (Van Honk et al, 2000; F. Yang et al, 2015).…”

“…Cortisol varies as a function of induced motivation. The controlled motivation driven by the social-evaluative stressor is associated with greater cortisol reactivity (Steel et al, 2021b). The cortisol response was a key index to stress as the end release of increased HPA axis activity, implying optimal biological functioning (McEwen, 2005).…”

Internal but not external locus of control predicts acute stress response

Psychophysiology

Fluctuation patterns of physiological response after acute stress might indicate one's coping potential with stress, yet this relationship has not been widely examined. The present study investigated how Locus of Control (LOC) can influence cortisol and HR responses in an uncontrollable stressful situation. Seventy‐three participants were exposed to acute stress through the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) after finishing the LOC measures. Multilevel regression results suggested that a curvilinear function best captured the shape of the cortisol trajectories which was further moderated by the level of internal LOC. Moreover, higher internality was associated with greater cortisol reactivity and faster recovery. Our study reveals the link between internal control and endocrine stress response. Finally, cortisol upregulation was discussed, as well as the internality‐related accelerated recovery of cortisol, which may be involved in the effect of motivation arousal for better adaptation.
