Paper is devoted to psychological self-regulation at different stages of behavior change, according to the trans-theoretical model. It was assumed that psychological factors of self-regulation are differently related to the subjective success of achieving goals, depending on the life domain and the stage of change. 127 students set goals for the next 2.5 months (study / work, communication, hobbies, health), evaluated them on the Likert scale, filled the Volitional Components Inventory, Goal Disengagement and Reengagement Scale, and a number of methods for psychological well-being. In the domains of study, communication and health, a high level of self-regulation and volitional abilities was typical for pre-contemplation and action stages, and the high cognitive control was found for the pre-contemplation and preparation stages. Satisfaction and emotional state were not associated with the desire for change. In the domain of study subjective success after 2.5 months was associated with the ability to concentrate and disengage the goal, and in the domains of communication and health — with self-determination and self-motivation. The results indicate the importance of taking into account the life domain and stage of change in studies of the psychological regulation of activity.

The article presents the results of the study of the conditionality of the components of forecasting the regulatory-will qualities of the personality among men who are ready and not ready for professional self-determination. In the article, the author reveals the specifics of the competence of forecasting in higher education. In the article, the author identifies two areas in the framework of which the competence of forecasting is considered – as a personal quality and as a "through" skill required in any professional activity. As a result of empirical research, differences were revealed in the conditionality of readiness for professional self-determination, depending on the development of forecasting components. Thus, for students unready for professional self-determination, such components of self-regulation as "planning", "programming", "evaluating results", "flexibility", "independence", are caused by changes in mood, well-being, activity. For students ready for professional self-determination, these same components of self-regulation are determined by the strength of the intentions of young men, the development of volitional qualities, the ability of individual regulation of activity and all regulatory links. Making a conclusion, the author focuses on the role of a teacher at a higher educational organisation in the development of forecasting competence.

Goal adjustment capacities (i.e., goal disengagement and goal reengagement) are core self-regulatory resources theorized to buffer psychological well-being during intractable life circumstances. However, research has yet to examine whether these capacities protect well-being for individuals who encounter uncontrollable losses in their ability to pursue important life goals due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a nationally-representative sample of American adults aged 18-80 (n = 292), the present longitudinal study examined the influence of goal disengagement and reengagement on levels and change in psychological well-being for individuals who differed in perceived control over their goals early in the pandemic. Results from multilevel growth models showed that goal reengagement, but not goal disengagement, capacities predicted higher levels of well-being (lower perceived stress, depressive symptoms; higher life satisfaction, meaning in life) for individuals who reported pandemic-induced declines in control over their goals. Findings inform theories of motivation and self-regulation and point to the adaptive value of goal reengagement capacities during uncontrollable life circumstances.

Action Crisis

In emerging adulthood, being committed to and making progress on important personal goals constitutes a source of identity and well-being. Goal striving, however, does not always go without problems. Even though highly committed to a goal, individuals may experience recurring setbacks and, consequently, increasing doubts about the goal that might culminate in an action crisis, that is, an intra-psychic decisional conflict about whether to disengage from or to continue on their way. Action crises have been shown to lead to negative consequences on well-being and performance. Besides these negative consequences, however, an action crisis is hypothesized to have an adaptive side that is addressed in the present paper. Actively questioning the pursuit of a goal should allow for weighing up the focal goal against alternative and possibly more desirable goals. This open-minded re-evaluation, in the event of goal disengagement, is assumed to avoid the emergence of action crises in subsequently formed goals. As expected, in a longitudinal study over one and a half years with n = 207 freshman students, the degree of experienced action crisis prior to goal disengagement predicted the desirability and decisional certainty of the subsequently formed alternative goal. Theoretical implications of the results for research on self-regulation and identity formation in emerging adulthood are discussed.

AbstractThis research has been carried out among climbing performers in Romania (a group of 60 climbers), starting from the desire to induce a state of preparation by watching a motivational short movie before performing a high difficulty route. The concept of preparation was related to the emotional impact of tonic or sensitive type (depending on the content of the movie) and the personality structure of the athletes, the conclusions drawn being in the area of optimization of performance by inducing an optimal state of preparation.Performance climbers can have two main attitudes to impact with emotional stimuli in the competitive environment: tonic versus sensitivity. We propose the study of the correlations between the personality structure of the athletes, the emotional impact on stimulation, respectively the quality of the prepared state of state, as the active regulatory status.The methodology included a batch of 60 climbers divided into two equal subgroups, before making a difficult route being allowed to view a movie with a tonic impact, or a sensitive impact. Personality was evaluated through five scales (Intelligence, Emotional Stability, Sensitivity, Imagination, and Perspicacity) while administering a Preparatory and Motivation Questionnaire.People with a high level of intelligence, imagination and perspicacity can more easily create attitudes, habits and habitual contests, as well as conduct appropriate to the concrete conditions of the competitive situation, while people with low emotional stability and sensitivity are more inclined towards a sensitive, labile, sensitive approach to the competitive situation. The research implies the necessity of organizing the mental operators with the purpose of suitability to the performance poor, in accordance with the tactical training of the athlete and with the personality traits.Emotional stimulation leads to affective participation, reception and awareness of favoring issues, stimulation of will, self-regulation of activity according to aspirations and strategies.

Motivation Strategies

Motivation is the largest single topic in psychology, with at least 32 theories that attempt to explain why people are or are not motivated to achieve. Within sport psychology research, there are a plethora of techniques of how to increase and sustain motivation (strategies to enhance agency beliefs, self-regulation, goal setting, and others). However, when explaining the conceptual undergirding of motivation in sport, the why of motivation, two theories predominate: Achievement Goal Theory (AGT) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Both theories predict the same outcomes, such as increased achievement striving, sustained behavior change, and perceptions of well-being, but they differ in why those outcomes occur. AGT assumes that individuals cognitively evaluate the competence demands and meaningfulness of the activity, and that those perceptions govern behavior. SDT assumes that individuals are driven by three basic needs, competence, autonomy, and relatedness, and the satisfaction of those needs govern behavior. The following discusses both theories and concludes that each has their strengths and weaknesses.

Annotation. The author focuses on the fact that mastering the pedagogical profession is associated not only with the development of the teacher’s personality, his abilities, skills, but also with the ability to deal with the negative consequences of maladaptation, such as poor health, conflict, fatigue, which manifests itself in relations with students , colleagues, administration. It is shown that the teacher’s maladaptation is promoted by a high level of tension, the complexity of intellectual work, an increased load on the visual apparatus, psycho-emotional, as well as muscle tension. Social maladaptive factors include: low social security and prestige of the teaching profession, multifunctional socially responsible activity in the conditions of information overload, the need for professional interpersonal interaction in conflict situations. The author emphasizes that the most typical neuropsychiatric disorders for teachers, overwork, decreased vision, pain in various parts of the spine, cardiovascular diseases and allergic conditions. Increasingly, the phenomenon of psycho-emotional “burnout” occurs, which is characterized by sleep disturbance, a decrease in the level of activity, the manifestation of asthenic reactions, an increase in irritability, and ultimately a decrease in the efficiency of professional work. Psychocorrectional work is carried out with the aim of improving a person’s adaptation to life situations: to relieve everyday external and internal stresses: to prevent and resolve conflicts that a person faces. The author considers approaches that describe the costs of teaching, as well as ways and means of overcoming them, and emphasizes the need to develop the teacher’s skills to control and regulate his well-being, his emotional state, largely determines the effectiveness of the process of interaction with pupils and colleagues, and to some extent is an indicator his professionalism.

People’s success in achieving their goals can have profound consequences for their subjective and objective well-being. Hundreds of research studies identify factors associated with success in goal pursuit, but little is known about the occurrence and influence of these factors in daily life. This dissertation aims to complement and build on extant, mostly laboratory, research by characterizing ordinary goal pursuit and identifying factors that meaningfully affect it in the context of daily life. The first chapter offers background: a review of prior research, a discussion of potential limitations on the replicability and generalizability of prior research, and an argument for more robust, naturalistic, and descriptive work. The chapters that follow present prospective observational studies focused on pursuit of New Year’s resolutions and used to address eight research questions pertaining to the content and framing of goals people pursue, the outcomes of goal pursuit, and the potentially mutable factors associated with goal achievement. The second chapter presents Study 1, a descriptive study focused on understanding what goals people set as resolutions and the typical process and outcome of pursuit. The third chapter presents Study 2, a study focused on assessing the predictive value of goal-varying factors. Goals varied greatly in their content, properties, and outcomes. Contrary to theory, many resolutions were neither successful nor unsuccessful, but instead were still being pursued or were on hold at the end of the year. Across both studies, the three most common resolution outcomes at the end of the year were achievement (estimates ranged from 20% to 40%), continued pursuit (32% to 60%) and pursuit put on hold (15% to 21%). Other outcomes (e.g., deliberate disengagement) were rare (<1% to 3%). Motivation and habit formation were associated with subjective success consistently, over and above trait self-control, but no other goal-varying properties showed robust associations with goal outcomes. Predictive models suggest that relatively little variance in goal outcomes can be meaningfully predicted by goal-varying properties, and that linear regression models are particularly bad at predicting goal outcomes. This dissertation demonstrates the value of naturalistic, descriptive, and prediction-focused work for advancing understanding of self-regulation.
