Dörnyei’s (2009) L2 Motivational Self System draws the notion of possible selves into understanding language learning motivation. Whilst one element of this system involves language learners’ perceptions of expectations from significant others, research has revealed inconsistent conclusions as to the role of these influences on motivation. Moreover, little research has uncovered a picture of the qualities of such absorbed expectations. This paper presents part of a qualitative study into the contextualized motivation of one class group of first-grade Japanese kosen students. Emergent from data collected over one year, the results reveal that these students held detailed, often conflicting perceptions of expectations absorbed from various sources in their social environment. The results suggest that further research is necessary to explore the development of such perceived expectations with students and to investigate the impact on motivation of conflicting detail in expectations. Dörnyei (2009)のL2 Motivational Self Systemは、第2言語学習者の動機を理解するためにpossible self概念を用いている。 第2言語学習者が感じる「他人の期待」が動機付けになるというのがこのシステムの一部だが、その動機への影響に関して今までの研究結果は一貫性に欠けている。その上、第2言語学習者が感じる「他人の期待」の質に関する研究も少ない。本論は、ある工業高等専門学校１年の学生の動機を質的に調べる研究の一部である。1年間に収集したデータの分析により、学生が社会環境の様々な情報源から得た、詳細だが時には矛盾する期待を感じていたという結果が導き出された。第2言語学習者への「他人から感じる期待」を考察し、矛盾する期待が動機へ及ぼす影響について、更なる研究が必要とされる。

The aim of this study was to investigate mediating roles of students' self-system processes and positive academic emotions in a relationship between supporting autonomy and agentic engagement. In This research structural equation modeling was used to analyze a conceptual model. The sample consisted of 452 undergraduate students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. The research instruments included the autonomy-supportive environment inventory, the self-system processes questionnaire, three questionnaires of academic emotions, and the agentic engagement scale. The findings showed that supporting autonomy had an indirect effect on students' achievement emotions, via self-system processes. Self-system processes had direct and indirect effects on agentic engagement, via positive academic emotions. Supporting autonomy had an indirect effect on agentic engagement by mediating role of self-system processes and positive academic emotions. Accordingly, emotions are proximal determinants of agentic engagement. Supporting autonomy and self-system processes affect agentic engagement from the pathway of academic emotions. Therefore, in addition to environmental factors and self-appraisals, it is necessary to consider students' emotional experiences to promote agentic engagement in learning settings.

The present study examined the role of self-enhancement and self-criticism in the relationship between physical activity and anxiety. A total of 305 students from Chinese universities, ranging in age from 18 to 36, completed a questionnaire package comprising a physical activity questionnaire, a self-enhancement strategies scale, a level of self-criticism scale, and a short form of state and trait anxiety scale. Findings highlighted that physical activity had a significant negative correlation with anxiety (r = −0.31, p < 0.01), a significant positive association with self-enhancement (r = 0.43, p < 0.01), and a significant negative relationship with self-criticism (r = −0.14, p < 0.05). It was also found that anxiety was significantly predicted by self-enhancement (−0.21, p < 0.01) and self-criticism (0.44, p < 0.01). Moreover, the mediation model supports the mediation of self-enhancement and self-criticism between physical activity and anxiety in university students. The findings suggest that interventions aimed at promoting physical activity and enhancing the self-system should be worthy strategies for reducing students’ anxiety.

Chapter 6 addresses goal 2 of the exploration phase of self-system therapy, which focuses on how clients pursue their goals. Clients assess their self-regulatory style by exploring their self-guides (clients’ own standards and expectations that other people have of them), promotion and prevention goals, and self-beliefs. With a better understanding of the role of self-discrepancies in depression, clients are asked to take a look at the daily influences on their experiences. Clients are helped by therapists to synthesize what they have learned in previous sessions and implement corrective strategies in daily life. The client begins by filling out worksheets that keep track of events in daily life. The worksheets ask the client to think about and write down how these daily events are related to personal goals and standards.

ABSTRAK Kanker payudara merupakan penyebab kematian nomor satu dari seluruh jenis kanker yang terjadi pada wanita. Salah satu penanganan kanker payudara adalah dengan menjalani kemoterapi dimana pasien akan mengalami masalah psikologis yaitu kecemasan. Kecemasan yang terjadi dapat dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor yaitu ancaman integritas fisik dan ancaman sistem diri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kecemasan pasien kanker payudara dalam menjalani kemoterapi di RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kuantitatif. Metode pengambilan sampel yang digunakan yaitu accidental sampling, dengan jumlah responden sebanyak 97 orang. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah STAI (State Trait Anxiety Inventory) dan instrumen faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kecemasan dikembangkan dari teori Stuart dan Laraia. Analisis data menggunakan rumus persentase. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian dari responden mengalami state anxiety sedang (59,8%), dan sebagian responden mengalami trait anxiety sedang (54,6%). Berdasarkan faktor yang mempengaruhi kecemasan, faktor ancaman sistem diri merupakan faktor yang mendominasi kecemasan pada pasien kanker payudara yang menjalani kemoterapi. Ancaman sistem diri yang mendominasi ini dapat memengaruhi  peran dari pasien, sehingga perlu adanya upaya untuk menurunkan kecemasan dengan memperhatikan berbagai faktor yang memengaruhi. Saran bagi perawat dan institusi terkait diharapkan untuk mengkaji lebih lanjut aspek psikososial dan menentukan intervensi selanjutnya untuk mengurangi kecemasan seperti mengajarkan teknik relaksasi, memberi dukungan dan motivasi, serta mendorong pasien untuk melakukan aktivitas fisik.   ABSTRACT Breast cancer is the leading cause of death from all types of cancer that occur in women. On of the treatment of breast cancer is chemotherapy which the patient will experience a psychological problem, such as anxiety. Anxiety can be affected by several factors, there is threat to physical integrity and threat to self-system of patients. The purpose of this research is to determine factors that affect anxiety of breast cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy in RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. This research used the descriptive quantitative method with 97 participants as a sampling using accidental sampling. STAI (State Trait Anxiety Inventory) and modifying theory of Stuart & Laraia were used to measure factors that affect anxiety. For analyzing the data, it used percentage abbreviation. The results of this research showed that several of participants experienced moderate state anxiety (59,8%), and several participants experienced moderate trait anxiety (54,6%). Based on factors that affect anxiety, the factor of the threat to self-system was the factor which dominates anxiety patients with breast cancer who underwent chemotherapy. This domination of self-system threat can affect the role of patients. Therefore it needs some efforts for decreasing anxiety with giving an attention to several factors which affect anxiety. The nurse and institution are expected to assess further aspects of psychosocial and determine next intervention reduce anxiety, such as teaching relaxation techniques, provide support and motivation, and encourage the patient to perform physical activity.
