“…Many studies have established a close relationship between the BPN of competence and autonomous motivation both in the field of sports and physical activity (Prieto and Huertas-Delgado, 2019), in the field of Physical Education (Cuevas et al, 2018), and in the practice of physical activity in adults and seniors (Leyton et al, 2017). Thus, in line with the results of this study, people who are intrinsically more motivated to practice sports are those who have a greater perception of self-efficacy, as found in the studies by Neace et al (2020) in a group of yoga practitioners, and Knight (2020) in young athletes. This prediction also occurs between more self-determined motivation and commitment to sports practice, as in the model of structural equations proposed by Pulido et al (2018) among young soccer players.…”

In Spain, the state of alarm declared on March 14, 2020 caused changes in the population in relation to the habits of physical activity and sports practice. This study analyzed what motivational variables predicted the self-efficacy and commitment to sports practice, as well as the differences according to gender, during lockdown and the progressive de-escalation caused by COVID-19, using the theory of self-determination as a theoretical framework. The study sample was conformed of 179 subjects (90 men and 89 women) between 18 and 65 years of age (M = 28.64; SD = 10.28). The Behavioral Regulation in Sport Questionnaire (BRSQ), the Psychological Need Satisfaction in Exercise Scale (PNSE), the Physical Activity Self-Efficacy scale, and the Sport Commitment scale were applied. The most relevant results have showed significant differences in favor of the male gender in terms of levels of controlled motivation and amotivation, as well as higher levels of self-efficacy and basic psychological need of autonomy. Furthermore, the regression analysis has revealed that self-efficacy and current commitment to sports practice were explained by a variance of 57 and 64%, respectively, due to autonomous motivation and the basic psychological need of competence. Therefore, the basic psychological need of competence should be fostered in order to increase the levels of self-determined motivation, self-efficacy, and commitment to sports practice of the population.

“…A mindful psychological counselor is likely to focus on the present moment with a clear mind, can be fully aware of the happening during sessions, and deal better with the challenges in the context of counseling (Wei et al, 2015). Many cross-sectional surveys proved that mindfulness was positively associated with context-specific self-efficacy (Blecharz et al, 2013;Hanley et al, 2015;DiRenzo et al, 2018;Neace et al, 2020). However, these surveys did not reveal a causal relationship between these two variables.…”

et al. 2021

This study aimed to explore the association between self-oriented empathy and compassion fatigue, and examine the potential mediating roles of dispositional mindfulness and the counselor’s self-efficacy. A total of 712 hotline psychological counselors were recruited from the Mental Health Service Platform at Central China Normal University, Ministry of Education during the outbreak of Corona Virus Disease 2019, then were asked to complete the questionnaires measuring self-oriented empathy, compassion fatigue, dispositional mindfulness, and counselor’s self-efficacy. Structural equation modeling was utilized to analyze the possible associations and explore potential mediations. In addition to reporting confidence intervals (CI), we employed a new method named model-based constrained optimization procedure to test hypotheses of indirect effects. Results showed that self-oriented empathy was positively associated with compassion fatigue. Dispositional mindfulness and counselor’s self-efficacy independently and serially mediated the associations between self-oriented empathy and compassion fatigue. The findings of this study confirmed and complemented the etiological and the multi-factor model of compassion fatigue. Moreover, the results indicate that it is useful and necessary to add some training for increasing counselor’s self-efficacy in mindfulness-based interventions in order to decrease compassion fatigue.

What were the motivational factors and influences throughout the higher degree study process that enabled a full time academic to overcome professional and personal obstacles and complete their research degree? The aim of this paper is to reflect upon the first of a three-stage process of Higher degree research transformational learning and teaching that emerged during the learning journey of an academic who was also a student. This paper provides a reflective overview, supported, informed, and guided by literature and educational theories, of how the process emerged and was adjusted to turn challenges into successes. It will address the impact of first impressions from the author about the HDR journey, perception of supervisors' views, external influences and advice that were used to jump over hurdles, scaffold learning and achieve milestones which ultimately led to completion of a research degree while the student was working full time. This reflective practice research is a work in progress. 2. Background Completing a thesis was always a key goal in my academic studies. Despite reading all the books,
