Cognitive Autonomy

Background Theory suggests that young women’s own efficacy for sexual self-protective behaviour is greater when they are more advanced in their cognitive autonomy, and when they have romantic partners who support autonomy rather than engage in coercive behaviours and are warm and accepting rather than rejecting. Methods: A total of 199 women (aged 16 to 25 years) completed questionnaires measuring sexual self-efficacy, autonomy, partner communication and their partners’ behaviours. Hypotheses were tested with structural equation modelling. Results: Correlations showed that young women reported more self-efficacy when they had greater autonomy and reported partners to be more supportive and warmer, and less coercive and rejecting. In structural equation modelling, the association of women’s autonomy with sexual self-efficacy was indirect via their perceived capacity to communicate with their partners. Associations of partner behaviours with sexual self-efficacy were both direct and indirect via the capacity to communicate. Conclusions: Sexual efficacy is enhanced among young women who report a greater general capacity to communicate openly with their partners and have partners who display more warmth and less rejecting behaviours. Young women are also higher in sexual self-efficacy when they report more cognitive autonomy and lower partner coercion, but these associations are completely indirect via females’ greater capacity to communicate openly. The findings provide support for sexual health programs focussing on decision-making skills, personal competence, partners’ behaviours and dyadic communication strategies.

The Relationship

AbstractThe aim of this study is to investigate five hypothesized mechanisms of causation between depression and condomless sex with ≥ 2 partners (CLS2+) among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM), involving alternative roles of self-efficacy for sexual safety and recreational drug use. Data were from the AURAH cross-sectional study of 1340 GBMSM attending genitourinary medicine clinics in England (2013–2014). Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to investigate which conceptual model was more consistent with the data. Twelve percent of men reported depression (PHQ-9 ≥ 10) and 32% reported CLS2+ in the past 3 months. AURAH data were more consistent with the model in which depression was considered to lead to CLS2+ indirectly via low self-efficacy for sexual safety (indirect Beta = 0.158; p < 0.001) as well as indirectly via higher levels of recreational drug use (indirect Beta = 0.158; p < 0.001). SEM assists in understanding the relationship between depression and CLS among GBMSM.

This study aimed to examine the relationship of mathematics literacy self-efficacy perceptions of preschool teachers with geometric shape recognition and number skills of children using structural equation modelling. The descriptive study adopted a relational screening model. The study sample comprised 9 teachers and 103 children selected by maximum variation sampling in the Afyon province. The Self-Efficacy Scale for Mathematics Literacy developed by &Ouml;zgen and Bindak (2008), the Geometric Shape Recognition Test developed by Aslan (2004) and the K-SEALS used by Uyanık and Kandır (2014) for validity and reliability studies were employed in the study. The relationships between the study variables were examined with structural equation modelling. The study results showed that teachers&rsquo; level of mathematical literacy self-efficacy was an important predictor of children&rsquo;s recognition of geometric shapes and their numerical skills.

The Relationship

When equipped with strong professional learning capacity, teachers are capable of enhancing their efficacy in teaching. However, existing research has seldom revealed how teacher capacity of professional learning influences teacher self-efficacy. This study aims to explore the relationship between teacher capacity of professional learning (TCPL) and teacher self-efficacy (TSE). A convenience sampling methods was used in this study to collect data. Structural equation modelling was employed to analyse and validate the relationship between TCPL and TSE. Results show that teacher professional consciousness positively predicted teacher engagement in experimentation. Teacher professional consciousness positively predicted teacher professional reflection. Teacher engagement in experimentation positively predicted teacher professional reflection. Teacher professional reflection positively influenced TSE. Teacher professional consciousness indirectly predicted TSE through professional reflection. Teacher engagement in experimentation indirectly predicts teacher self-efficacy through professional reflection. Keywords: Teacher capacity, professional learning, professional consciousness, professional reflection, engagement in experimentation, self-efficacy.

Orientation: Job burnout is a serious problem in the hospitality industry. Therefore, employees require ongoing job and personal resources to cope with job burnout.Research purpose: The study investigated the influence of psycho-organisational variables (i.e. perceived organisational support, self-efficacy and age) on job burnout amongst hotel workers.Motivation for the study: Investigating the independent and joint influence of psychoorganisational variables on burnout will assist in pulling together psycho-organisational factors influencing burnout and its dimensions cohesively in systematic theory building and intervention plans.Research design, approach and method: This is a cross-sectional survey designed to investigate perceived organisational support, self-efficacy and age as predictors of job burnout amongst 268 hotel workers from 10 registered hotels in some metropolitan cities in Ondo State, south-western Nigeria. Structural equation modelling techniques were conducted to test the proposed hypotheses.Main findings: Structural equation modelling revealed that perceived organisational support and self-efficacy have inverse relationships with burnout syndrome and its dimensions.Practical/managerial implications: These findings imply that it is possible for different stakeholders in the hotel industry in Nigeria to reduce the incidence of high burnout amongst hotel workers by providing adequate organisational support to cope with difficult job demands and organising self-efficacy training to improve individuals’ confidence in their abilities to deal with job burnout. Such intervention can be individual-oriented, organisation-oriented or a combination.Contribution/value-add: This study contributes to literature by confirming that organisational support and self-efficacy are relevant in coping with burnout.
