The aim of the study. Identify the features of the structure of professional «I-concepti» of military personnel in accordance with the type of their professional identity (TPI).Research methods. Conversation method, testing.Sample description. The study involved 100 military personnel with different TPI.Conclusions. Summarizing, we can state both similar trends and differences in the characteristics of the structural elements of the professional «I-concept», the nature of the relationship between these components.Cognitive component (professional orientation). Among all possible career orientations, military personnel emphasize that work and place of residence must be stable and important for them, a sense of personal safety, both in professional activity and in personal space.Behavioral component (self-efficacy). The components of the cognitive and behavioral components of the professional self-concept are in feedback. But it should be borne in mind that according to the TPI of military personnel are different professional orientations.There is no correlation between the metrics of all three components of the professional self-concept. There is only a link between the components of its cognitive and emotional components.TPI identifies certain differences in all structural elements of the professional self-concept.Cognitive component (professional orientations). There are no «diffuse» and «pseudo-identity» military personnel from the TPI who are seeking a career. Autonomy at work and in its actions dominates among the military personnel with a «pseudo-identity» TPI compared to their counterparts with a premature TPI. The desire to be a leader is a motivating factor for military personnel with a TPI «moratorium» compared to their counterparts with a TPI «pseudo-identity». For military personnel with diffuse TPI, the most important is the desire for stability and safety at work, than for military personnel with TPI «pseudo-identity».Behavioral component (self-efficacy). Only military personnel with a TPI «moratorium» have an adequate assessment of their self-efficacy. All other TPIs have a clear tendency to diminish their capacity for self-efficacy. There is a feedback of professional orientation (cognitive component) and self-efficacy (behavioral component of professional self-concept). However, it should be borne in mind that according to the TPI of military personnel are different professional orientations.Emotional component (self-esteem). Adequacy of understanding and emotional perception of the value of one’s personality is more often manifested in military personnel with premature and diffuse TPI than their counterparts with TPI «pseudo-identity». Military personnel with diffuse TPI are more aware of and emotionally perceived the value of their personality than their counterparts with the TPI «moratorium».The presence of the relationship between the components of the cognitive and emotional component of the professional "I-concept", depending on the military personnel’s TPI is determined both by the different nature and heterogeneity of these components.

The Relationship

Extensive research on the relationship between employees' use of English in the workplace and their job performance has revealed that the use of English at work leads to increased job performance and positive interactions among staff. In relation to this, a good command of English among military staff, especially officers, is of great importance to the Armed Forces, as military personnel often serve abroad and need to be proficient in communicating their instructions and orders to a foreign team. Previous research has also shown that self-efficacy is a significant predictor of job performance; however, the role of self-efficacy in learning English language skills has not been widely explored as mediator in the relationship between motivation to learn, intention to share knowledge, and job performance. Therefore, this paper aims to develop a conceptual framework that can be used to improve the understanding of English self-efficacy and its relationship with employees’ motivation to learn, intention to share knowledge, and capability to complete a given task. This framework informs and guides future research that will test the hypothesized relationships. The findings would assist the English Department of the Education Directorate of the Malaysian Armed Forces to design or revise military training syllabi and approaches.

This article explores the relationship between sport and war in Britain during the South African War, 1899–1902. Through extensive press coverage, as well as a spate of memoirs and novels, the British public was fed a regular diet of war stories and reportage in which athletic endeavour and organized games featured prominently. This contemporary literary material sheds light on the role sport was perceived to have played in the lives and work of the military personnel deployed in South Africa. It also, however, reveals a growing unease over an amateur-military tradition which equated sporting achievement with military prowess.

The Relationship

This study examined the role of motivation as a mediator of the relationship between parents’ socio–economic status (SES) and children's standardized test achievement in math. We employed a one–year longitudinal approach using Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2003 and a follow–up exam in 2004. The sample consisted of N = 6020 German students (mean age 15.5 years, SD = .55) who continued school after Grade 9 (PISA 2003) and were in Grade 10 at the time of PISA 2004. Children completed measures related to their parents’ SES, math–specific self–concept, task–specific and global self–efficacy, and interest, intelligence and mathematical competence. We found a small to moderate correlation between parents’ SES and children's achievement. All motivational constructs partially mediated the relationship between father's SES as well as a family index for SES (economic, social, and cultural status) and children's mathematical competence, but only math–specific self–concept and self–efficacy were significant mediators for mother's SES. Even when simultaneously considering the mediating effect of children's intelligence and prior achievement, the mediation effects of motivation remained significant. These results are important for our understanding of educational equality. Copyright © 2016 European Association of Personality Psychology

O objetivo do estudo foi revisar sistematicamente as pesquisas que analisaram a relação do autoconceito com o rendimento acadêmico de adolescentes do ensino médio, bem como verificar quais variáveis e contextos dentro da escola foram abordados em conjunto ao autoconceito, para melhor explicar essa relação. A revisão incluiu estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos nas bases eletrônicas de trabalhos científicos: ERIC/Thesaurus, MEDLINE/Pubmed, SportDiscus, SciELO e Web of Science. Foram utilizados os descritores caracterizando componentes do autoconceito (self, self-concept e self-psychology) com os descritores relacionados ao rendimento acadêmico, em que também se considerou a capacidade acadêmica percebida (academic achievement, underachievement, educational achievement, perception of competence, competence perception, self-efficacy). Dez estudos foram incluídos na revisão. A relação entre autoconceito e desempenho acadêmico mostrou-se consistente e se confirmou em nove dos 10 trabalhos. Outras variáveis também se apresentaram importantes na explicação do desfecho do rendimento acadêmico, tais como a motivação acadêmica, a prática de atividades extracurriculares, a autoeficácia acadêmica e o envolvimento dos pais.Palavras-chave:Estudantes; Psicologia do self; Adolescente; Avaliação do rendimento ABSTRACTThe aim of the study was to systematically review the studies that analyzed the relationship between self-concept and academic achievement in high school students, as well as to verify which variables and contexts within the school were approached together with self-concept, to better explain this relationship. The review included studies published in the last ten years in the scientific electronic databases: ERIC/Thesaurus, MEDLINE/Pubmed, SportDiscus, SciELO and Web of Science. The descriptors that characterized the components of self-concept used were those of self, self-concept and self-psychology, and the descriptors related to academic achievement, academic achievement, underachievement, educational achievement, perception of competence, competence perception and self-efficacy. Ten studies were included in the review. The relationship between self-concept and academic performance was consistent and confirmed in nine of the ten papers. Other variables that were important in explaining the academic achievement were academic motivation, the practice of extracurricular activities, academic self-efficacy and parental involvement.Keywords:Students; Self-psychology; Adolescent; Performance assessment

Professional self-determination of young people is a controversial process complicated by the need to choose the field of activity and determine their place in life. Taking into account the complex influence of all factors on the professional orientation of young people is considered a reliable guarantee of the young person's choice of profession as part of life self-determination. However, it cannot be assumed that this process does not need management and practical support, and it can be carried out in a self-adjusting way. In addition, when choosing a profession, young people often rely on external attributes (publicity, showiness, prestige of the profession within the immediate circles) which gives rise to a corresponding interest in its development. Sometimes they do not take into account their correspondence to the requirements of the particular professional field: personal traits representing the importance of a professional, intellectual level of development, or the physiological capabilities necessary for the implementation of this professional activity. Increased attention is aimed at development of the natural instincts of the younger generation, as well as their professional formation, that is, on organizing assistance to young people in the choice of employment. At the same time, the choice should be made not only with a focus on the needs and opportunities of young people themselves, but also taking into account the labor market situation in the conditions of continuous updating of the list of popular professions. Willingness to respond quickly to market demands is the most approved approach to choosing a profession in modern conditions. Timely and qualified assistance in professional orientation would help young people meet the highest need: the need for self-realization.

Abstract.SELF-EFFICACY AND PSYCHOSOCIAL RISKS IN TECHNICAL STAFF OF AN ADOPTION SERVICE.It is necessary that Psychology continues to devote efforts to map psychosocial risks in different occupations, as well as to facilitate the understanding of the relationship between risks and consequences, including the role of vulnerability and protective factors. This study brings as a novelty the evaluation of psychosocial risks in a group that has not been studied until now: the technical staff of a service of information, training, assessment of suitability and post-adoption follow-ups in international adoption procedures. The objectives of this research are: to determine the proportion of professionals exposed to psychosocial risk working conditions; to establish the level of self-efficacy of these professionals for working under conditions of psychosocial risk; to establish the relationship between the degree of exposure to psychosocial risks and the level of self-efficacy of these professionals. A cross-sectional study was carried out through a survey in which a sample of 51 technicians participated, out of a total of 72 people who composed the service in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. The instruments used, in addition to a sociodemographic data form, were the Inventory of Psychosocial Risks (León & Avargues, 2004) and the Professional Self-Efficacy under Psychosocial Risk Conditions Scale (Sánchez-Sevilla, Guillén & León-Rubio, 2006). The results showed that almost half of the people evaluated are exposed to very stressful working conditions that are a risk to work life quality and health related to work stress. Regarding professional self-efficacy under psychosocial risk conditions, the sample as a whole had a moderate-high score. On the possible relationship of self-efficacy with the level of psychosocial risk borne by the professionals evaluated, an inverse relationship was found between both variables.Key Words: psychosocial risks, work stress, self-efficacy, adoptions.Resumen.Es necesario que la Psicología siga dedicando esfuerzos a elaborar mapas de riesgos psicosociales por ocupaciones, así como a facilitar la comprensión de las relaciones entre riesgos y consecuencias, comprendiendo también el papel de los factores de vulnerabilidad y protección. Este estudio aporta como novedad la evaluación de riesgos psicosociales en un colectivo hasta ahora poco estudiado: los técnicos y técnicas de un servicio de información, formación, valoración de idoneidad y seguimientos postadoptivos en procedimientos de adopciones internacionales. Los objetivos de esta investigación son: determinar la proporción de profesionales expuestos a condiciones de trabajo de riesgo psicosocial; establecer el nivel de autoeficacia de estos profesionales para trabajar en condiciones de riesgo psicosocial; determinar la relación entre el nivel de exposición a riesgos psicosociales y el nivel de autoeficacia de estos profesionales. Se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal mediante encuesta en el que participó una muestra de 51 técnicos y técnicas, de un total de 72 personas que componían dicho servicio en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía. Los instrumentos utilizados, además de un formulario de datos sociodemográficos, fueron el Inventario de Riesgos Psicosociales (León y Avargues, 2004) y la Escala de Autoeficacia Profesional bajo condiciones de Riesgo Psicosocial (Sánchez-Sevilla, Guillén y León-Rubio, 2006). Los resultados pusieron de manifiesto que casi la mitad de las personas evaluadas se encuentran expuestas a condiciones laborales de mucha tensión que suponen un riesgo para la calidad de vida laboral y la salud relacionada con el estrés laboral. En lo referente a la autoeficacia profesional bajo condiciones de riesgo psicosocial, el conjunto de la muestra obtuvo una puntuación moderada-alta. Con respecto a la posible relación de la autoeficacia con el nivel de riesgo psicosocial soportado por los profesionales evaluados, se encontró una relación inversa entre ambas variables.Palabras Claves: riesgos psicosociales, estrés laboral, autoeficacia, adopciones

The Relationship

Literature on the determinants of far-right support has increased markedlyduring the last few years, expanding our knowledge on who votes for these par-ties. Little is known, however, about the relationship being a member of the mil-itary and voting for the far-right. Recent scandals within the armed forces ofsome developed democracies underscore this gap. In this paper, we argue thatthere is an ideological affinity between the military and far-right parties based onshared values over nationalism and authoritarianism. We use two distinct empir-ical strategies to test this argument in Spain. First, we pool together data fromseveral survey rounds to show that individual military personnel are significantlymore prone to support Spain’s new populist radical right-wing party, VOX. Sec-ond, we show that the location of military facilities across Spain is linked to highersupport for VOX. Using spatial statistics, we show evidence of a diffusion effect.Our findings are relevant to both the literature on far-right support and our knowl-edge of civil-military relationships.
