Maladaptive behavior in relation to the basic psychological needs of students in secondary education

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la relación entre el desarrollo de las necesidades psicológicas básicas y las creencias implícitas de habilidad en alumnado de Educación Secundaria. La muestra estuvo formada por un total de 97 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria, con edades comprendidas entre los 13 y los 15 años (edad media = 13.32 ± 0.62 años) a los que se les aplicaron los cuestionarios de apoyo a las necesidades psicológicas básicas y creencias implícitas sobre la habilidad en sus clases de Educación Física. Los resultados no encontraron diferencias significativas en las variables de necesidades psicológicas básicas y de creencias implícitas de habilidad en función del género de los estudiantes. Por otro lado, la creencia de entidad correlacionó positivamente con el apoyo a las relaciones sociales, mientras que la creencia incremental correlacionó positivamente con el apoyo a la competencia y las relaciones sociales. Estos resultados pueden servir de referencia a profesores de Educación Física a la hora de establecer estrategias en función del género que favorezcan la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas de sus estudiantes.AbstractThe aim of this study was to know the levels of basic psychological needs, and implicit beliefs of ability in secondary stage students. The sample was made up of a total of 97 students of Secondary Education, with ages between 13 and 15 (mean age = 13.32 ± 0.62 years) to whom the questionnaires to support basic psychological needs and ability beliefs were applied in Physical Education lessons. The results found no significant differences in the variables of basic psychological needs and implicit beliefs of ability based on the gender of the students. On the other hand, entity belief positively correlated with support for social relationships, while incremental belief positively correlated with support for competition and social relationships. These results can serve as a reference for physical education teachers when establishing gender-based strategies to meet the basic psychological needs of their students.

Educación Primaria

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue comprobar las diferencias existentes entre el alumnado de Educación Primaria y Educación Secundaria en la motivación, las necesidades psicológicas básicas, la responsabilidad, el clima de aula, las conductas prosociales y antisociales y la violencia. Para ello, se contó con una muestra de 397 alumnos a los cuales se administró una serie de cuestionarios validados con el fin de comparar los resultados contando con tres centros de características sociodemográficas similares. La edad media de los participantes fue de 11.24 años (DE = 1.74) siendo 288 alumnos de Primaria y 109 de Secundaria. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p < .01) en la motivación más autodeterminada, la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas, el clima de aula y la responsabilidad a favor del grupo de Primaria, encontrando valores superiores (p < .01) en la violencia y las conductas antisociales en el grupo de Secundaria. Se concluye que la etapa de Primaria, supone un punto de inflexión de cara a los diferentes comportamientos que se desarrollan en Secundaria, por lo que es necesario incentivar programas e iniciativas que sirvan para mantener estos aspectos y que no se reduzcan en la etapa de Secundaria.AbstractThe purpose of this study was to verify the differences between Primary and Secondary Education students in motivation, basic psychological needs, responsibility, classroom climate, prosocial and antisocial behaviors, and violence. To do this, a sample of 397 students were administered to whom a series of validated clients was administered in order to compare the results with three centers with similar sociodemographic characteristics. The average age of the participants was 11.24 years (SD = 1.74), with 288 Primary students and 109 Secondary or basic FP. The results obtained statistically significant differences (p < .01) in the most self-determined motivation, the satisfaction of basic psychological needs, classroom climate, and responsibility in favor of the Primary group, finding higher values (p < .01) in Violence and antisocial behaviors in the high school group. It is concluded that the primary stage is a turning point in the face of the different behaviors that develop in secondary school, so it is necessary to encourage programs and initiatives that serve to maintain these aspects and that are not reduced in the secondary stage.

This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the basic psychological requirements of swimmers who perform individual sports in Kocaeli province with respect to certain variables. The sample of the study consisted of 80 swimmers who perform individual sports in Kocaeli province, İzmit district between the years of 2016 – 2017, 32 of whom were male and 42 of whom were female. In collecting data, the Basic Psychological Needs Scale which was developed by [4] was used in order to determine the psychological needs of individuals. Basic Psychological Needs Scale was adapted into Turkish by [9] A personal information form that was developed by the researcher was used. No significant difference was observed when basic psychological need scores were compared according to gender (P<0,05). In consequence of comparing the results of basic psychological need scale by means of age variable, a significant difference was observed by means of the need for relatedness between the 14 – 16 and 20 – 22 age groups (P<0,05). When basic psychological need scores were compared with respect to educational background, a significant difference was found in terms of the need for autonomy, need for competence and need for relatedness while a significant difference was observed by means of all scores (p<0,05). With respect to need for autonomy and need for competence; a significant difference was observed between Secondary Education and High School while the need for relatedness and total scores created a significant difference between Secondary Education and University (p<0,05). As a consequence of the comparison between the results of basic psychological need scale according to family attitudes, a significant difference was only observed by means of the need for competence between the variables (p<0,05). With respect to the sub-dimension of the need for competence, a significant difference was found between democratic family structure and authoritarian family structure (P<0,05). As a result of a comparison between basic psychological needs considering the educational background of female parents, there was a significant difference between the variants by means of the need for competence and the need for relatedness. With respect to need for competence and relatedness, a significant difference was observed for both, between the educational levels of primary school and high school (P<0,05).

El proyecto de investigación de más rango científico y con los mayores recursos dedicados al estudio de la educación escolar en el Programa Marco de la Unión Europea: INCLUD-ED, muestra que las prácticas de las escuelas de éxito en Europa están en la línea del enfoque dialógico del aprendizaje. En un centro educativo donde el alumnado pertenece a 36 nacionalidades diferentes, se propone la implantación de formas dialógicas de organización en el aula como los grupos interactivos. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar el tipo de agrupación en el aula mediante grupos interactivos para comprobar, por un lado, su impacto sobre la motivación y la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas en el ejercicio, y por otro, en qué medida influyen estos grupos interactivos sobre el aprendizaje teórico. Para esto, 113 participantes en la asignatura de Educación Física de tercero y cuarto de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria recibieron dos clases mediante organizaciones diferentes del aula, una organización tradicional (TRAD) a modo de grupo de control y otra de grupos interactivos (GIN) respectivamente. Se evaluó el grado de satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas en el ejercicio, el grado de motivación y la adquisición de conocimientos teóricos específicos de la asignatura. Los resultados muestran tanto mejoras a nivel de conocimientos teóricos, como una mayor satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas en el ejercicio y motivación intrínseca de GIN frente a TRAD. Abstract. The research project with the highest scientific rank and the greatest resources dedicated to the study of school education in the European Union's Framework Programme: INCLUD-ED, shows that the practices of successful schools in Europe are in line with the dialogical approach to learning. In an educational school where students belong to 36 different nationalities, the implementation of dialogical forms of organization in the classroom, such as interactive groups, is proposed. The present study aimed to analyze the type of grouping in the classroom through interactive groups in order to check, on the one hand, their impact on motivation and the satisfaction of basic psychological needs, and on the other hand, to what extent these interactive groups influence theoretical learning. For this purpose, 113 participants in the subject of Physical Education, from third and fourth year of Compulsory Secondary Education, received two classes through different classroom organizations: a traditional organization (TRAD) as a control group, and with interactive groups (GIN), respectively. The degree of satisfaction of basic psychological needs, the degree of motivation, and the acquisition of specific theoretical knowledge of the subject were evaluated. The results show both improvements in theoretical knowledge and greater satisfaction of basic psychological needs and intrinsic motivation of GIN compared to TRAD.

Before And After

Abstract. This study tests two competing hypotheses, one based on the general aggression model (GAM), the other on the self-determination theory (SDT). GAM suggests that the crucial factor in video games leading to increased aggressiveness is their violent content; SDT contends that gaming is associated with aggression because of the frustration of basic psychological needs. We used a 2×2 between-subject experimental design with a sample of 128 undergraduates. We assigned each participant randomly to one experimental condition defined by a particular video game, using four mobile video games differing in the degree of violence and in the level of their frustration-invoking gameplay. Aggressiveness was measured using the implicit association test (IAT), administered before and after the playing of a video game. We found no evidence of an association between implicit aggressiveness and violent content or frustrating gameplay.
