This study examined the underlying structure of transfer climate and those aspects that were related to pre‐training self‐efficacy, motivation, post‐training implementation intentions. Positive negative affectivity (PA NA) also measured in order better understand relationship these variables trainees’ perceptions other training‐related variables. Transfer was best represented by two constructs, although correlated. After controlling for PA NA, none significantly while only positive...
The structure of the Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire (CDDQ) was validated and compared across two age cohorts using Structural Equation Modelling. One hundred twenty-one upper high school students (78 females, 43 males—mean 15.92 years) participated in Study 1, while 127 adults (86 41 33.44 completed survey for 2. model confirmed multidimensional CDDQ, although five first-order factors provided a better fitting than three higher-order postulated. fit both groups, suggesting...

Introduction The ability to perform optimally under pressure is critical across many occupations, including the military, first responders, and competitive sport. Despite recognition that such performance depends on a range of cognitive factors, how common these factors are domains remains unclear. current study sought integrate existing knowledge in field form transdisciplinary expert consensus mechanisms underlie pressure. Methods International experts were recruited from four [(i)...
There has been little research on stress as perceived by people with an intellectual disability. This is somewhat surprising considering the changes in philosophy and service delivery models across western world that have resulted disability being at forefront of massive attitudinal shifts within society. In this study, administration Lifestress Inventory to 459 a mild or moderate revealed reported experiencing average 8.57 stressors from list 31 stressors. When intensity ratings for...

Abstract: Adult adoptees ( n = 100) and nonadoptees were compared with regard to self‐esteem, identity processing style, parental bonding. Although some differences found maternal care, overprotection, these qualified by reunion status such that only reunited differed significantly from nonadoptees. Moreover, hierarchical regression analyses indicated bonding style more important than adoptive per se in predicting self‐esteem. Implications for practitioners who work are discussed.

Mood profiling has a long history in the field of sport and exercise. Several novel mood profile clusters were identified described literature recently (Parsons-Smith, Terry, & Machin, 2017). In present study, we investigated whether same evident an Italian language, exercise context. The Scale (ITAMS; Quartiroli, Fogarty, 2017) was administered to 950 Italian-speaking participants (659 females, 284 males, 7 unspecified; age range = 16–63 yr., M 25.03, SD 7.62) seeded k-means clustering...
The current study presents initial validation statistics for the Italian Mood Scale (ITAMS), a culturally- and linguistically-validated version of Brunel (BRUMS: Terry Lane, 2010). ITAMS was administered to 950 sport participants (659 females), who ranged in age from 16 63 years (M = 25.03, SD 7.62). In first stage process, statistical procedures Mplus were used evaluate measurement model. Multigroup exploratory structural equation modeling supported hypothesized 6-factor model males females...
