The purpose of the current study was to test the validity and reliability of a two-factor model of the Personal and Social Responsibility Questionnaire (PSRQ) and examine the relationships between perceptions of personal and social responsibility and intrinsic motivation in physical education. Participants were 253 middle school students who completed the questionnaires. The results from a confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency suggest the two-factor PSRQ is valid and reliable for assessing students’ perceptions of personal and social responsibility in physical education. The correlational analysis suggests that participants with higher levels of personal and social responsibility were likely to enjoy physical education more. An important implication for teaching practice is that, to encourage all individuals to be intrinsically motivated to participate in physical education, physical education teachers need to empower students with choices and voices, focus them on effort and self-direction in physical education, and create a respectful and caring learning environment.

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la capacidad de predicción de la responsabilidad social, las necesidades psicológicas básicas y la motivación sobre la meta de aproximación a la amistad a partir de la Teoría de la Autodeterminación. Una muestra de 402 estudiantes (209 mujeres y 193 hombres; M = 14.20; DT = 1.52) de entre 12 y 18 años, procedentes de tres centros de educación secundaria del norte de España cumplimentaron un cuestionario que incluía la subescala de responsabilidad social del Cuestionario de la Responsabilidad Personal y Social (PSQR), la Escala de Necesidades Psicológicas Básicas en Educación Física (BPN-PE), la subescala de motivación intrínseca de la Escala del Locus Percibido de Casualidad (PLOC) y la subescala de aproximación-amistad del Cuestionario de Metas de Amistad (FGQ-PE). Los resultados del análisis de regresión lineal múltiple reflejaron que la responsabilidad social, las necesidades psicológicas básicas de relación y autonomía y la motivación intrínseca predecían significativamente la meta de aproximación-amistad. Estos resultados reflejan la importancia de crear contextos educativos en los que se potencie la responsabilidad social, las relaciones, la autonomía y la motivación intrínseca de los estudiantes con el objetivo de mejorar sus metas de amistad.Abstract. The goal of the present study was to assess social responsibility, basic psychological needs, and motivation towards friendship-approach goals within the Self-Determination Theory. A total of 404 students from three secondary schools of northern Spain (209 females and 193 males; M = 14.20; DT = 1.52), aged from 12 to 18 years, completed a questionnaire that included the social responsibility subscale of the Personal and Social Responsibility Questionnaire (PSQR), the Basic Psychological Needs in Physical Education Scale (BPN-PE), the subscale of intrinsic motivation of the Perceived Locus of Causality (PLOC), and the subscale of friendship-approach of the Friendship Goals Questionnaire in Physical Education (FGQ-PE). Results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that social responsibility, relatedness and autonomy, and intrinsic motivation significantly predicted friendship-approach goals. These results suggest the importance of creating educational contexts that can foster social responsibility, relatedness, autonomy, as well as students’ intrinsic motivation, with the aim to improve their friendship goals.

The aim of this research was to determine the level of values related to the subject of physical education and sport with self-reported personal and social responsibility behaviours in students studying in secondary school and to examine the relationship between them. For this purpose, this study, which was carried out with the participation of 1138 secondary school students from 13 different secondary schools in Balıkesir/Turkey, was conducted with a multi-factor predictive correlational design. “Physical Education and Sports Lesson Value Scale” and “Personal and Social Responsibility Behaviours Scale” were used in collecting the data. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data. It was determined that students’ values related to the subject of physical education and sport with their self-reported personal and social responsibility behaviours were at a high level. When the mean scores in the sub-dimensions of the scale of values related to the subject of physical education and sport are examined, it is seen that the most important values were considered to be awareness and respect, in that order, and that the values with the lowest mean scores were sports culture and national culture and unity. According to the results of multiple linear regression analysis, the values of respect, awareness, healthy life and nutrition, national culture and unity, solidarity, and sports culture explained 42 and 47% of the variance personal and social responsibility, respectively. As a result, it can be said that physical education and sport values are important variables in predicting the self-reported personal and social responsibility behaviours of secondary school students.

This study examined the relationships between student emotions in elementary physical education (PE) and their self-reported personal and social behaviors. Additionally, self-reported emotion and personal and social behavior differences were tested between students receiving a traditional multiactivity and games PE curriculum and those experiencing a Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model curriculum. Participants were 2nd and 3rd grade students ( n=222) from two schools in the United States. Both schools had similar student demographics, school needs, and community characteristics. For secondary comparison analysis, school one ( n=87) served as the comparative school receiving a traditional multiactivity curriculum and school two ( n=135) received the TPSR model. Results showed that enjoyment and anger were predictors of students’ behavioral engagement. Findings also disclosed a significant positive effect for enjoyment, perceived responsibility, and behavioral engagement favoring the TPSR group. The TPSR model may be positively associated with elementary students’ beliefs about responsible behaviors, student enjoyment, and training students in positive ways to deal with anger. Overall, investigating the relationship between students’ emotions and their personal and social development, as it relates to PE, may provide intervention to reduce some negative experiences students report in these environments. Likewise, positive emotional experiences may increase in-class engagement and the adoption of adaptive personal and social responsibilities within PE and potentially into other areas in and out of school.

This study evaluated improvement in self-efficacy and personal and social responsibility among at-risk of dropping-out of school adolescents participating in a program in which Hellison's Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility Model was applied in physical education classes during the course of an academic year. Thirty at-risk adolescents aged 13-14 years old (23 boys, 7 girls) were assigned to an intervention group (12 boys and 3 girls) or a comparison group (11 boys, 4 girls), the latter of which did not participate in the program. Quantitative results showed a significant improvement in the students' self-efficacy for enlisting social resources and in self-efficacy for self-regulated learning. Qualitative results showed an improvement in responsibility behaviors of participants in the intervention group. This suggests that the model could be effective for improving psychological and social development in at-risk adolescents, and that physical education classes may be an appropriate arena for working with these young people.

El objetivo fue evaluar las interacciones entre el acoso escolar, las necesidades psicológicas básicas, la responsabilidad y la satisfacción con la vida de los adolescentes. 1785 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria y Bachillerato, con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 17 años de edad (M = 14.44, DT = 1.50), de 16 centros educativos de tres zonas de España: Asturias, León, Cuenca y Albacete, accedieron a participar. 590 contestaron cuestionarios referidos a la asignatura de Matemáticas, 596 a la de Lengua Española y Literatura y 599 a la de Educación Física. Para determinar los perfiles en función de las seis dimensiones de la dicotomía frustración-satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas se realizó un Análisis de Perfiles Latentes –LPA– utilizando el programa Mplus 7.11 Los resultados mostraron cinco perfiles de estudiantes: uno adaptativo (clase 3) con niveles altos de satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas y bajos de frustración de las mismas, además de los niveles más altos de Satisfacción con la vida, Responsabilidad personal y social y los más bajos de Victimización y Agresión, y otros cuatro perfiles más desadaptativos. Por lo tanto, la satisfacción de estas necesidades debe ser promovida desde la escuela para prevenir y/o mitigar problemas de acoso escolar. The goal was to assess the interactions between bullying and adolescents’ basic psychological needs, responsibility and life satisfaction. 1785 students from secondary education (year eight, n = 404; year nine, n = 390; year 10, n = 364; year 11, n = 376), and Baccalaureate (year 12, n = 251), from 16 schools located in three different areas of Spain: north (Asturias), central-north (León), and central-south (Cuenca y Albacete) agreed to participate. 590 answered the questionnaire used referring to Math, 596 to Literature and 599 to Physical Education. Results showed five profiles: one adaptive (class three) with high levels of basic psychological needs satisfaction, low levels of basic needs frustration, and high levels of life satisfaction, personal and social responsibility, and the lowest levels of victimization and aggression, and four other less adaptive profiles. Therefore, the satisfaction of these needs must be promoted in the schools to prevent and/or mitigate bullying problems.

Employee retention is emerging as a critical issues impact on the competitive advantage. Internal corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been creating so much attention in the minds of employees during the recent years. Thus, the chapter is based on three objectives: First, it explores the relationship between internal CSR and employee retention. Second, it identifies how intrinsic motivation mediates the relationship between internal CSR and employee retention. Finally, it determines the internal CSR activities which the apparel industry should pay more attention to in order to better employee retention. Primary data were collected by using questionnaires, and the results of the study indicated that there is a positive relationship between internal CSR and employee retention. Moreover, intrinsic motivation partially mediates the relationship between the internal CSR and employee retention. The findings of the study identify the internal CSR activities which the apparel industry should pay more attention to in order to develop retention programs in the future.
