Self-determination theory (SDT) postulates that environments providing psychological needs satisfaction (PNS) promote quality motivation, thus enhancing engagement and performance in diverse domains. SDT PNS were used to investigate student experience of conservatoire instrument practice. Participants ( N = 162) completed standardized self-report questionnaires. Associations between study variables described hierarchical multiple regression analysis was conducted assess the predictive...
Abstract Background Research on procrastination, regarding time perspective factors and basic psychological need satisfaction (BPNS) has placed this problem at the meeting point of individual contextual variables. The present study focused both individual, given that perspectives can be defined as a person’s attitude to an object (time) three moments (present, past, future); aspects, because needs (competence, autonomy, relatedness) is facilitated or made difficult by social contexts. Based...
Procrastination is a complex problem that can be defined as delaying an intended course of action (despite anticipating adverse consequences). Even when some students have equivalent motivation and skill levels, they tend to procrastinate more frequently than others. Approaches analyse whether contextual influences may prevent or promote dysregulation processes associated with procrastination are scarce. According Self-Determination Theory, facilitate self-regulated (e.g. autonomous pursuit...
Students’ autonomous self-regulation in learning requires not only self-motivation, but also volition. In this regard, entails strategies both for enhancing self-motivation (goal setting, from mistakes) and volitional regulation (strategic decision making). Furthermore, personal characteristics, such as trait-level perseverance or grit may significantly influence motivation Subpar leads to procrastination, which has been defined a problem – tendency towards dysregulated behaviour that...
There are inequalities with respect to the amount of time men and women spend on leisure. Therefore, it can be assumed that these also manifested in experiences derived from leisure activities certain attitudes life associated devoted leisure, which emphasize orientations towards past, present future. Based ideas, this study analyses spent activities, experience (i.e., perceptions freedom satisfaction), five factors perspective (hedonistic fatalistic present; positive negative past; future...
Based on the self-determination theory, this study examines relationship between students’ perceptions of their teachers’ teaching styles, satisfaction need for competence, and procrastination behaviours in university students. The sample was composed 675 students (442 men, 279 women; 4 did not indicate gender, Mage = 19.81 ± 2.26 years old), who completed questionnaires assessing variables interest. perception an autonomy-supportive style positively associated with contrast to a controlling...
Faced with the demonstrated need to engage in physical activity (PA), lack of time is argument commonly used justify low or non-existent levels PA. Underlying this argument, accomplishment procrastination behaviour seems be related less dedicated practicing PA and perception quality life. With mind, purpose study show that dedicating different amounts affects perceived life widespread problem procrastination. We hypothesise greater investment In all, 621 practitioners (347 men, 274 women)...
AbstractBased on Bourdieu's idea that cultural capital is strongly related to family context, we describe the relations between musical and optimal experience during compulsory primary school practice. We analyse whether children from families with higher levels of capital, specifically regard active engagement in practice, obtain more practice than their peers, thus improving chances sustained personal lives. draw Csikszentmihalyi's theory flow better understand how intrinsic motivation...
Protein aggregation is the underlying cause of many diseases, and also limits usefulness natural engineered proteins in biotechnology. Better mechanistic understanding characterization aggregation-prone states needed to guide protein engineering, formulation, drug-targeting strategies that prevent aggregation. While several final aggregated states-notably amyloids-have been characterized structurally, very little known about native structural conformers initiate We used a novel combination...
Abstract Procrastination is a delay in an intended course of action and, thus, self‐regulation failure hindering growth and well‐being. Contrarily, set cognitive metacognitive skills strategies supporting goal‐directed behavior. There ongoing discussion regarding the extent to which (and ways which) promoting may counteract procrastination. On one hand, it argued that procrastination linked with stable personal dispositions; on other said this problematic behavior associated contextual...

It shown how approach can be used partitioning comprehensive designs subsequent implementation-related...
The purpose of the research was to analyze procrastination - a problem time management that negatively affects autonomy people in relation leisure as domain everyday life. Specifically, dynamics between (activities and invested weekly frequency duration activity) factors were studied. A sample 185 university students (118 men 67 women: M age = 20.77 years, SD 2.53) answered scale validated for Spanish population which refers four (dilatory behaviors, indecision, lack punctuality, planning)...
Physical activity (PA) is an important habit for overall health and quality of life, but it tends to recede as young adults transition from high school into university. The present study sought understand, in the case university students that still practice PA, their motives PA relationships with psychological need satisfaction (PNS) characteristics regularity (frequency, duration, team, competitive, coach, league, federation, type day week PA). Participants were 423 who reported (203...
Leisure activities and identity interact structure young people’s lives. Empirical research on such interaction is scarce contradictory. This paper explores the relationships between leisure with different levels of commitment (serious, casual) traits. A total 938 people (476 men 462 women) aged 18 to 24 (M = 21.13; DT 1.98) completed a time budget (TB) self-description questionnaire about based Twenty-Statements Test, as well an association TB self-descriptions. The study shows...
Abstract Regular physical activity (PA) is linked with greater satisfaction life (SWL), but this effect equivalent for all PAs? Or do effects and causal paths of PA on SWL differ depending goal contents in PA? practitioners ( N = 1900) reported exercise (GCE), psychological need (PNS), flow PA, as well SWL. Cluster analyses multi-group structural equation modeling were used to analyze differential study variables Four clusters based GCE identified labeled (health-management, n 652;...
This study investigated the initial and current influences for doing physical activity (PA), levels of PA participation, future plans it. Participants were 200 women aged 45 to 64 years old. Factor loadings explored using Principal Components Analysis. Pearson bivariate correlations, t-test, ANOVA used show differences among influences, sociodemographic characteristics, present/future participation. Personal fulfillment was main influence, while health benefits/self-care, outdoor/family...
In music education, women are present in great numbers. professional settings, however, musicians not as predominant. With some exceptions, such Scandinavian countries, still pursue gender equality practice. To inquire about the causes of this, we considered if gender-differences amotivation conservatoire instrument practice could be associated with aspects learning environment. Self-determination theory (SDT) posits that environments may influence motivation, by satisfying or thwarting...
There is an urgent need for the ability to rapidly develop effective countermeasures emerging biological threats, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes ongoing disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We have developed a generalized computational design strategy engineer de novo proteins precisely recapitulate protein surface targeted by agents, like viruses, gain entry into cells. The designed act decoys block cellular and aim be resilient viral...
We consider the problem of achieving a required level confidence about safety-critical systems consisting interacting components. Especially, we address restrictions in traditional A/G reasoning techniques which may cause false positives contract compatibility analyses. Therefore, introduce interface assertions, i. e., predicate logical formulae over components' interfaces. show how to compute assertions for architecture configurations based on corresponding components and soundness relative...
