Motivation is one of the most important aspects in the development of a career of learning, even more so if one fits in a musical studies in which motivational levels must be sustained for many years. In this sense, the study of the motivation of musical achievement from the motivational theory of Weiner (2000) and its possible relation with the general self-efficacy described by Bandura (1986) is key to understanding both the formative process of the students and the possible ones pedagogical improvements to include in the Spanish educational system. Significant relationships have been found between the different motivational factors and self-efficacy. In the same way, the motivational factors related to the specific areas present a good explanatory capacity of self-perceived self-efficacy by the students. It is necessary to expand to other psychological constructs for a better understanding of the motivational event in higher musical studies.

The Relationship

The explanatory capacity of self-efficacy on achievement has made it one of the main psychological constructs on the field of educational research. Perceptions of self-efficacy become more relevant, if possible, in musical education whose purpose is professional practice and in the end public performance. Music performance anxiety, for its part, has been studied in numerous investigations, finding itself responsible for academic failure and even dropping out the musical career. Both constructs are related and influence the attainment of achievement. This study reveals the relationship between these two constructs, obtaining inversely proportional correlations between the factors musical self-efficacy for performing and vulnerability and stage anxiety cognitions of music performance anxiety; delving into the knowledge of both constructs are also observed differences according to sex. The results obtained provide the necessary evidence to deepen the knowledge of the variables that lead to musical achievement.

Abstract Objectives To study (i) the association of general self-efficacy (GSE) on the course of subjective (i.e. basic and instrumental activities of daily living (ADLs and IADLs) and objective physical performance outcomes (short physical performance battery (SPPB)) among older persons from discharge up to 3 months post-discharge and (ii) the extent to whether motivational factors such as depressive symptoms, apathy and fatigue mediate this association. Methods Prospective multi-centre cohort of acutely hospitalised patients aged ≥70 (Hospital-ADL study). Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the structural relationships. Results The analytic sample included 236 acutely hospitalised patients. GSE had a significant total effect on the course of subjective and objective performance outcomes (ADLs: β = −0.21, P < 0.001, IADLs: β = −0.24, P < 0.001 and SPPB: β = 0.17, P < 0.001). However, when motivational factors as mediator were included into the same model, motivational factors (IADLs: β = 0.51, P < 0.001; SPPB: β = 0.49, P < 0.001) but not GSE remained significantly associated with IADLs (β = −0.06, P = 0.16) and SPPB (β = 0.002, P = 0.97). Motivational factors partially mediated the relationship between GSE and ADLs (β = −0.09, P = 0.04). The percentage of mediation was 55, 74 and 99% for ADLs, IADLs and SPPB, respectively. Conclusions Motivational factors and GSE are both associated with subjective and objective performance outcomes. However, the relationship between GSE and subjective and objective performance outcomes was highly mediated by motivational factors. Taken together, this suggests that GSE is important to being physically active but not sufficient to becoming more physical active in acutely hospitalised older patients; motivation is important to improving both subjective and objective performance.

Cognitive Dimensions

The aim of this study is to investigate relationships between positive psychology resources – resilience, general self-efficacy and wisdom dimensions – cognitive, reflective and affective in different level business leaders and to investigate differences between two groups of leaders – with higher general self-efficacy and lower general self-efficacy. The study was carried out based on theories of psychological resources. Resources not only buffer against the potentially harmful stress effects of the demands of working life, but may promote development and optimal performance, which is necessary for leaders to be able to meet increasing demands of their role. 83 respondents (57 women, 26 men) different level business leaders participated in the study. Results showed that in sample of leaders group there are statistically significant relationships between resilience and self-efficacy, resilience and reflective wisdom dimension, self-efficacy and wisdom reflective and cognitive dimensions. Results of difference analysis showed that there are differences in levels of psychological resources between high general self-efficacy leaders and low general self-efficacy leaders. High general self-efficacy leaders showed higher results in all tested psychological resources and statistically significant differences between two groups were reported in resilience. Results suggest that low self-efficacy leaders would be less able to adapt to uncertainty, and/ or bounce back or recover from stress. Research results suggest that higher level of general self-efficacy is related to higher levels of resources – resilience and wisdom. Key words: psychological resources, resilience, self-efficacy, wisdom.

General Self Efficacy

Abstract. General self-efficacy is a central personality trait often evaluated in surveys as context variable. It can be interpreted as a personal coping resource reflecting individual belief in one’s overall competence to perform across a variety of situations. The German-language Allgemeine-Selbstwirksamkeit-Kurzskala (ASKU) is a reliable and valid instrument to assess this disposition in the German-speaking countries based on a three-item equation. This study develops a French version of the ASKU and tests this French version for measurement invariance compared to the original ASKU. A reliable and valid French instrument would make it easy to collect data in the French-speaking countries and allow comparisons between the French and German results. Data were collected on a sample of 1,716 adolescents. Confirmatory factor analysis resulted in a good fit for a single-factor model of the data (in total, French, and German version). Additionally, construct validity was assessed by elucidating intercorrelations between the ASKU and different factors that should theoretically be related to ASKU. Furthermore, we confirmed configural and metric as well as scalar invariance between the different language versions, meaning that all forms of statistical comparison between the developed French version and the original German version are allowed.

Job Searching

This study aimed to understand the role of regulatory focus for influencing self-directed learning activities during a job search. The authors surveyed 185 job-searching university students at two time points to explore the conditions under which regulatory focus (promotion and prevention foci) impacts self-directed learning activities and the number of employment interviews secured. Both promotion and prevention foci showed significant relationships with self-directed learning activities and number of interviews, and positive and negative affect partially mediated these relationships. The relationships between both regulatory focus strategies and self-directed learning were also contingent on self-efficacy. More specifically, prevention focus and self-directed learning showed a positive relationship for job seekers with high levels of self-efficacy but a negative one for job seekers with low levels of self-efficacy. This research extends the understanding of the role of regulatory focus in the context of self-directed learning during a job search. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
