  In recent years, research has pointed to the value of positive youth development programmes through physical education. The influence of this type of programme, specifically the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility programme, on the empathy and emotional intelligence of students is a field to be explored. The study’s aims were: (1) to investigate the effects of a Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility-based programme on empathy and perceived emotional intelligence in physical education; and (2) to compare the scores between lower-middle and upper-middle socioeconomic context schools. Participants were 210 students (ages 10-12). A quasi-experimental design with two analyses of covariance were completed. The programme improved the students’ feelings of sadness (p < .05). More pronounced improvements were found on the feelings of sadness (p = .016) in the lower-middle socioeconomic context group. The intervention was more effective on understanding feelings (p < .001) in the upper-middle context group. Improvements were found in emotional intelligence (p = .017), attention (p < .05) and repair (p < .026) factors in the lower-middle context group compared to the upper-middle context group. We found that the programme has been especially useful for improving emotional intelligence in depressed socioeconomic contexts.  Resumen. En los últimos años, la investigación ha señalado el valor de los programas de desarrollo positivo adolescente a través de la educación física. La influencia de este tipo de programas, en concreto del programa de Enseñanza de la Responsabilidad Personal y Social, sobre la empatía y la inteligencia emocional de los alumnos es un campo por explorar. Los objetivos del estudio fueron: (1) investigar los efectos de un programa basado en el modelo de Enseñanza de Responsabilidad Personal y Social sobre la empatía y la inteligencia emocional percibida en educación física; y (2) comparar los resultados entre los colegios de contexto socioeconómico medio-bajo y medio-alto. Los participantes fueron 210 alumnos (de 10 a 12 años). Se realizó un diseño cuasi-experimental con dos análisis de covarianza. El programa mejoró los sentimientos de tristeza de los estudiantes (p <.05). Se encontraron mejoras más pronunciadas en los sentimientos de tristeza (p = .016) en el grupo de contexto socioeconómico medio-bajo. La intervención fue más efectiva en la comprensión de sentimientos (p <.001) en el grupo de contexto medio-alto. Se encontraron mejoras en los factores de inteligencia emocional (p = .017), atención (p <.05) y reparación (p <.026) en el grupo de contexto medio-bajo en comparación con el grupo de contexto medio-alto. Encontramos que el programa ha sido especialmente útil para mejorar la inteligencia emocional en contextos socioeconómicos vulnerables.

Don Hellison fully realized that getting students to become positive contributors to their community meant that experiences that engender a greater sense of being a responsible person had to be provided. He leveraged the power of out-of-school time programming to implement his Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model and build relationships with variety of underserved youth. Don also understood that community partnerships were important in this effort. This article provides a glimpse at how Don was able to establish TPSR programs in a variety of out-of-school settings—all of which addressed the needs of underserved children and youth. A historical context is provided to illustrate the placement of TPSR in the broader movement of positive youth development. Don’s programs that operated during out-of-school time and spanned the western region of the country to the urban sections of Chicago are described. Inconsistent partner support, scarcity of program space, and feelings of self-doubt are presented as challenges to the viability of TPSR programming. His commitment to making programs work despite these challenges is portrayed. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to illustrate how Don’s work has made a significant contribution to the positive youth development movement within out-of-school time contexts.

The article presents a critical analysis and assessment of the current state of foreign experience in monitoring and management of health, lifestyle and physical activity of student youth. An important aspect of lifestyle monitoring is the assessment of physical activity. However, monitoring is not an end in itself; its results are used to develop approaches and methods of correction, and to manage the situation. The concept of health management is becoming more and more popular as a set of measures to preserve and restore the health of large social groups. One such methodological approach is Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR), a model that uses sports and physical activity to teach adolescents to become personally and socially responsible people. This model focuses on two sets of values: personal responsibility and social responsibility. Effort and self-reliance are goals of personal responsibility, while respecting and helping others is social responsibility. The model has been widely adopted as a program for at-risk youth. The Personal and Social Responsibility Questionnaire (PSRQ) was developed as an indicator for assessing young people’s perceptions of personal and social responsibility. Perceptions of personal and social responsibility are positively correlated with intrinsic motivation. Physical education programs based on health and lifestyle management principles can provide students with positive motivational and emotional experiences that will encourage them to continue participating in physical activity. Physical skills are trasferred into other areas of life activity (SBYD – Sports-Based Youth Development), it is claimed that sports can be used as a tool for psychological, emotional and/or academic development. The research has shown that many sports-based youth development programs contribute to the acquisition of life skills (e.g., leadership, self-control) with the ultimate goal of promoting positive social and academic outcomes for young participants. Researchers call this “life skills transfer” (i.e., the idea that the physical, behavioral and cognitive skills that young people acquire in sports can be used in non-athletic settings to promote healthy development). An important result of the development of the concept of monitoring and managing the health and lifestyle of young people is the formation of a consensus on this issue. According to this consensus, physical activity is seen as an all-encompassing term that consists of many structured and unstructured forms in and outside educational settings, including organized sports, physical education, outdoor recreation, motor programs, breaks, and active modes of transportation. such as cycling and walking.

Positive Youth Development (PYD) programs are being used to foster holistic growth in children and adolescents. The hybridized application of two or more programs of this type has acquired special relevance in recent years. Although their application is common in the school context, there are few research studies that attempt their implementation in an extracurricular context. This study analyzed the effects of an intervention based on a hybrid PYD program on personal responsibility (PR) and social responsibility (SR) in youth volleyball players in an extracurricular context. A hybrid program was applied during the competitive season, with a total of 37 sessions with 30 girl students (15 experimental and 15 control) aged between 8 and 10 years (M = 8.87, SD = 0.82). A convergent mixed methods design was applied to integrate the following: (a) semi-structured interviews and field notes and (b) personal and social responsibility questionnaires. The results indicated that the implementation of the hybrid program appeared to yield a positive perception of learning in both the participants and the coach. Although there were no statistically significant intergroup or intragroup differences, the findings suggest that the hybrid program seems to be effective in fostering PR and SR in youth girl volleyball players.

The objective of this study was to analyze the effect that the application of the personal and social responsibility model has on students’ perception of a teacher’s interpersonal style and on the perception of autonomy. A quasi-experimental design was used with a control group (n = 60) and an experimental group (n = 60) to which the intervention was applied. Participants were aged between 10 and 13 years. As the main results, the experimental group saw improvements in support for the autonomous interpersonal style, in the need for autonomy satisfaction and also in the perception of personal and social responsibility. Perception of the controlling style decreased. In conclusion, the use of this type of program in educational centers is recommended for its benefits with regard to students’ autonomy and personal and social responsibility.

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.
