Zusammenfassung. Die Studie untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen Rumination und der persönlichen Zielerreichung bei Leistungssportlern. Im Rahmen einer Längsschnittuntersuchung, haben 44 Schwimmer_innen an einer Onlinebefragung mit vier Messzeitpunkten während der Wettkampfsaison 2014/15 teilgenommen. Der Online-Fragebogen enthielt neben der deutschen Version des Rumination Response Style Questionnaires (RSQ-D; Kühner, Huffziger & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2007 ), Fragen zu persönlichen Zielen und biographische sowie sportbezogene Fragen. Unter Berücksichtigung der individuellen Angaben zur Zielerreichung am Ende der Wettkampfsaison, wurden die Sportler_innen einer Realisierungsgruppe (n = 17) oder Vergleichsgruppe (n = 27) zugeordnet. Mittels multivarianter Varianzanalyse (MANOVA) wurde getestet, ob globale Unterschiede in der Rumination zu Beginn und am Ende der Wettkampfsaison zwischen den Gruppen bestehen. Sportler_innen, welche ihr individuelles Ziel erreicht haben, weisen im Vergleich zu denjenigen, die ihre Ziele nicht erreicht haben, niedrigere Ruminationswerte auf. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass Rumination im Kontext der Zielerreichung auftritt und ein relevanter Faktor für den Leistungssport darstellen könnte.

Thematic Network Analysis

AbstractResearch has already established the boundless potential of teachers in assisting effective learning processes, and there is still a need to expand research to illustrate interrelation and connection between the construct of teachers’ professional accountability which moderates and directs student learning. To this end, a comprehensive review of the literature was conducted by the researchers to explore and extract relevant theoretical constructs to teacher accountability. A literature review was followed by structured interviews with 20 administrators, teachers, students, and parents to record perceived concepts related to teacher accountability. Content analysis of recorded interviews and thematic network analysis of literature resulted in a 30-item Likert scale. The researcher-made questionnaire was subject to reliability and validity issues. Thus, in the second phase, the questionnaire was piloted with 142 male and female EFL in-service teachers selected on the basis of the convenient sampling method. Factor analysis on data collected through this reduced the items to 29 and indicated that data on teacher accountability loaded on five components including accountability towards students (N: 7 items), parents (N: 5 items), school leadership (N: 5 items), society (N: 7 items), and the profession (N: 5 items). The results also indicated that the questionnaire enjoys sound psychometric properties of reliability (α: 0.88 ˂0.5). The upshots of this study could provide a better understanding of the concept and lead teachers to be more coherent and accountable.

Pearson Correlations

18 subjects were measured on cell-mediated immunity (T lymphocyte polyclonal proliferation) and four behavioral indices including over-all life stress, stress-avoidance tendency, stress-intrusion tendency, and tendency toward cardiovascular Type A behavior. Of Pearson correlations computed between T lymphocyte polyclonal proliferation and each of the four behavioral indices, the only significant value was that, .47, between T cell immunity and tendency toward stress avoidance. Of the variables investigated, the best predictor of T cell immunocompetence is the tendency toward avoiding stress. Results are discussed in terms of implications for research.
