El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar el grado de influencia que la práctica de los juegos tradicionales de cooperación-oposición puede tener sobre el estado de ánimo de estudiantes universitarios. Para ello 48 estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte, en un rango de edades de 19 a 21 años, participaron voluntariamente en el estudio, 33 hombres (68.75 %) y 15 mujeres (31.25 %). Los participantes cumplimentaron una versión reducida del Perfil de los Estados de Ánimo (Profile of Mood States, POMS) de 29 ítems agrupados en cinco factores: Tensión-Ansiedad, Depresión-Abatimiento, Rabia-Hostilidad, Vigor-Actividad y Fatiga-Inmovilidad. Se llevó a cabo un análisis mediante una prueba t para muestras relacionadas y una prueba t para muestras independientes (p<.05). Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que hubo diferencias significativas pre-post tanto en hombres (Tensión-Ansiedad, Rabia-Hostilidad, Vigor-Actividad, Fatiga-Inmovilidad y Estado de Animo General) como en mujeres (Tensión-Ansiedad y Vigor-Actividad), y en el efecto de la práctica entre hombres y mujeres (Fatiga-Inmovilidad y Estado de Ánimo General).Palabras clave: juegos tradicionales; estado de ánimo; género; educación física.Abstract: the purpose of this study was to assess the degree of influence that the practice of traditional games of cooperation-opposition may have in the mood state of university students. Therefore 48 students of the School of Sports of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) volunteered to take part in the study, 33 men (68.75%) and 15 women (31.25%), ranging in age from 19 to 21 years. The participants completed a reduced version of the Profile of Mood States (POMS) grouped into five factors: Tension-anxiety, Depression-Dejection, Anger-Hostility, Vigour-Activity and Fatigue-Inertia. By means of a dependent t-test (p<.05) we found that the mood state significantly changed in men (Tension, Anger, Vigour, Fatigue and overall) and in women (Tension and Vigour). By means of an independent t-test (p<.05) we could compare the responses of men and women to the practice of cooperation-opposition games and found significant changes in Fatigue and the General Mood State.Key words: traditional games; mood state; gender; physical education.

This study aims to determine the university students’ level of motivation in terms of different variables. A study group of this research has been designed through one of the non-random sampling methods, Using appropriate sampling, 606 students from Faculty of Education of C.U. have been involved in this study. Motivation scale in English Language Learning developed by Mehdiyev,Usta,Uğurlu (2015) was used as an instrument of data collection. T-test and one - way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to resolve problems of this research. As a result of the research the motivation level of university students hasn’t been revealed significantly different regarding to the gender variable. However, considering the t-test results of motivation scale dimensions, confidence, attitude and personal use, significant difference is seen in favour of women in personal use dimension. The level of language learning motivation of female students is higher than men’s regarding to personal use dimension. However, men’s and women’s views don’t differ significantly in attitude and confidence dimensions. University students don’t present significant differences in terms of birth place, parent’s education level, total motivation scores and confident, attitude and personal dimensions. Students’ motivation levels are seen not to be influenced by the places such as village, provision or city where they have spent the most of their lifetime. At the same time the findings revealed that parental status variable in terms of primary, secondary and university graduates has no effects on students’ motivation.

Sad Music

Depression is often associated with a reduced motivation to engage in behavior that will improve one’s mood. This paper presents a study in which 175 university students listened to a self-selected piece of music on Youtube that made them sad. Post- and pre-listening scores of depressed mood on the Profile of Mood States (POMS) were taken, as were measures of rumination and scores on the Like Sad Music Scale (LSMS). Results indicate that listening to sad music via this medium can significantly increase feelings of depression in people with a tendency to depression (as suggested by high rumination scores). Furthermore, people with a tendency to depression demonstrate a liking for such music despite the potentially unhealthy consequences of listening to it.

Playing traditional games has a direct impact on the mood states of the players, and this is the reason why physical education is an ideal setting for teaching how to recognize them and be aware about how they can swing. The objective of the study was to determine if participating in traditional opposition games causes changes to the participants' mood states. A total of 102 students participated. Each participant recorded the intensity of the mood state experienced at the beginning and at the end of the sessions, using the validated Profile of Mood States (POMS) instrument. The pedagogical experience was planned as 4 sessions with 6 and 5 opposition games each: (a) with competition in mixed groups, equally and unequally mixed; (b) without competition in mixed groups, equally and unequally mixed; (c) with competition in same-gender groups; and (d) without competition in same-gender groups. When comparing the different mood states according to session (with or without competition), the mood states of the depression, fatigue, and vigor dimensions were significantly different (p &lt; 0.05), with higher scores in the sessions with competition for the mood states of vigor (Mcompetition = 7.27 and Mno_competition = 3.10) and fatigue (Mcompetition = 4.08 and Mno_competition = 1.80). Also, when comparing the mood states depending on session grouping and group type, the results showed differences in the scores obtained for the dimensions fatigue and anger, and general mood state (p &lt; 0.05). These differences were found at the start of the session and at the end, with the dimension fatigue being the only one with differences in both situations when comparing the same-gender, equally-mixed, and unequally-mixed groups for the two types of traditional opposition games compared. In addition, after an analysis of the mood states depending on gender was performed, the results and therefore the significant differences found, were very similar to those obtained according to group type. Lastly, it was concluded that the type of group (equal, mixed &amp; same gender), and gender were decisive, causing variations in the mood states of the students. This provides valuable information for teaching professionals about the structuring and organization of PE sessions, aiming to promoting positive motor experiences.

La misión de la Universidad es preparar a los estudiantes para la vida, es decir, prepararlos para enfrentar los desafíos que se les presenten a nivel personal y profesional. Si bien las necesidades de la especie humana no han cambiado, sus deseos sí. La realidad empresarial está en permanente evolución. La competividad empresarial, en su afán de satisfacer esos deseos y así, vender más y obtener utilidades, es cada vez más enconada, lo que convierte en prioridad para las facultades que forman a los nuevos empresarios, el desarrollo de la creatividad como prerrequisito para el desarrollo de la innovación. En las facultades de ciencias empresariales de nuestra universidad no se ha aplicado, hasta el momento, ningún programa académico que fomente el desarrollo de esta competencia. El objetivo de esta investigación es proponer, por lo tanto, una serie de actividades para el desarrollo de la inteligencia creativa. La metodología utilizada será bibliográfica y documental. PALABRAS CLAVE: competencia; creatividad; universidad; estudiantes. CREATIVITY IN THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP OF THE STUDENTS OF THE CAREER BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION: A CHALLENGE IN THE ACADEMIC TRAINING OF COMPETITIVE ENTREPRENEURS ABSTRACT The mission of the University is to prepare students for life, that is, to prepare them to face the challenges that they will encounter at a personal and professional level. Whereas the needs of the human species have not changed, their wishes have. The business reality is constantly evolving. The business competitiveness, in its search for meeting those needs, and consequently, selling more and obtaining profits, is increasingly fiercer, which makes the development of creativity as a prerequisite for development of innovation a priority for faculties that train new entrepreneurs. In the Faculty of Business Sciences of our university, an academic program that encourages the development of this competence has not been implemented yet. The goal of this research is to propose, therefore, a series of activities for the development of creative intelligence. The methodology used will be bibliographical and make use of documental analysis. KEYWORDS: competence; creativity; university; students.

Subjective Evaluations

We have been working on research and development of mental commit robot which aims to provide humans mental effects such as enjoyment and relaxation. In the previous research, we have performed subjective evaluation of mental commit robot by some interview forms. The results showed physical interaction improved subjective evaluations. Moreover, a priori knowledge of a subject had influence into subjective interpretation and valuation. In this paper, we applied physiological measurements to investigate influence to human by physical interaction with mental commit robot. As physiological measurements, we applied the electrocardiogram (EGG), respiration rate and the electrodermal response (EDR). And we measured mood state and liking for the object by using the profile of mood states (POMS) and SD method. The finding of experiments suggested changes of autonomic response and mood state caused by physical interaction with mental coconut robot. Moreover, it was suggested that there were some differences in autonomic response by subjectivity.

The present study investigated further the factorial structure of the Profile of Mood States in an Australian college sample of 289 undergraduate students. Responses for all 65 items were intercorrelated and subjected to an iterative principal factoring procedure together with rotation to oblique simple structure. Results indicated that the basic subscale structure of the profile is reliable, although some additional factors of emotionality could be discerned. A subsequent higher-order analysis suggested that at the typological mood-state level, the Profile of Mood States primarily indexes three state dimensions of Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Arousal.
