Background Despite the importance attributed to athletes’ motivation in sports performance and well-being; no measures of motivation toward sport were found in the Romanian sport context. Objective Grounded in self-determination theory, this research aimed to adapt and to gather validity and reliability evidence supporting the use of the Behavioral Regulation in Sport Questionnaire (BRSQ) in the Romanian sport domain. Method The participants were 596 Romanian professional athletes (age: M = 22.91, SD = 5.84; sports experience: M = 11.14, SD = 5.03), who 273 practiced individual sports and 323 team sports. They completed an online questionnaire survey assessing their perception of behavioral regulation, resilience and burnout in sport. Results Confirmatory factor analysis supported the six-factor correlated model, which was invariant across age and sport. Correlations among latent factors configured a simplex structure, underpinning the self-determination continuum. Average variance extracted values from .50 to .70 endorsed convergent validity. Scores for heterotrait-monotrait ratio of correlations as high as .88, as well as 95% confidence intervals of each interfactor correlation that did not include 1.00 supported discriminant validity. Values over .70 for Cronbach’s alpha, McDonald’s omega and Raykov’s coefficients showed a good level of reliability for each factor. Linear regression analysis revealed that while intrinsic motivation, integrated regulation and identified regulation positively predicted resilience, introjected regulation, external regulation and amotivation positively predicted burnout. Conclusions The BRSQ is shown to be a valid and reliable measure of the six types of behavioral regulation in the Romanian sport context.

AbstractArthritis patients may show little motivation for physical activity (PA), resulting in a sedentary lifestyle. The primary objective of the study was to investigate whether motivation for PA and fulfillment of PA recommendations were associated with cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with RA. The exploratory objective was to study whether university students could be used as controls for RA patients in future studies of PA motivation. Peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) was measured in 93 RA patients. The patients and 354 students filled in the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2 (BREQ-2). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with adjustment for age and sex. The BREQ-2 scores were also compiled to an overall motivational style “Relative Autonomy Index” as previously published. Mean VO2peak for the RA patients was 32.2 (SD: 9.6) mL × min−1 × kg−1. Only 29 patients (31%) fulfilled the current recommendations for PA. BREQ-2 scores were associated with measured VO2peak (standardized coefficient 0.33, p < 0.001). Whether a person fulfilled the current recommendations for PA was a significant mediator of this effect (standardized coefficients: mediated effect; 0.22, p = 0.001, remaining direct effect; 0.11, p = 0.18). The Relative Autonomy Index also significantly predicted measured VO2peak (standardized coefficient 0.30, p < 0.001). The underlying BREQ-2 factor structure was significantly different between RA patients and university students, and comparison of scores would not be adequate. Motivation for PA was significantly associated with measured VO2peak in RA patients. The effect was mediated by whether the patient fulfilled the current recommendations for PA. Addressing and stimulating motivation is important when intervening to increase PA and cardiovascular fitness in RA patients.

The article studies the components of the structure of the motivational sphere of the personality of employees of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation. A theoretical and methodological analysis of the currently existing approaches to the study of the motivational sphere of a person's life is carried out and only those that are focused, to a greater extent, on the search and description of the dispositional (trait-like) foundations of motivation and the assessment of individual differences in the degree of their severity among employees are highlighted. ATS, to identify their deep motives and values that determine professional behavior and are able to predict it. One of the goals of the work was to create an original psychodiagnostic toolkit aimed at identifying the psychological characteristics of the professional motivation of candidates to enter the service in the internal affairs bodies, employees to be appointed to other positions in the internal affairs bodies and the choice of a certain direction of professional service by them. The novelty of the results lies in the fact that on the basis of the proposed structure and known methods and tests - questionnaires, a «Methodology for studying the professional motivation of candidates to enter the service in the internal affairs bodies, employees for appointment to other positions in the internal affairs bodies and the choice of a certain areas of professional service», which includes 12 basic scales: the need for achievement; the need for power; the need for security; the need for ownership; locus of control; hedonism / altruism; ambition; behavioral regulation; corruption resistance; conscientiousness; professional identity «I am a policeman» and a mandatory scale of «social desirability» and atypical responses. The developed methodology can be used in the activities of personnel departments to improve the professional psychological selection of candidates for entering the service in the internal affairs bodies, employees for appointment to other positions in the internal affairs bodies and the choice by them of a certain direction of professional service activity.

Abstract Behavioral regulation problems have been associated with daily-life and mental health challenges in children with neurodevelopmental conditions such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Here, we investigated transdiagnostic brain signatures associated with behavioral regulation. Resting-state fMRI data were collected from 115 children (31 typically developing (TD), 35 ADHD, 21 DCD, 28 ADHD-DCD) aged 7–17 years. Behavioral regulation was measured using the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function and was found to differ between children with ADHD (i.e., children with ADHD and ADHD-DCD) and without ADHD (i.e., TD children and children with DCD). Functional connectivity (FC) maps were computed for 10 regions of interest and FC maps were tested for correlations with behavioral regulation scores. Across the entire sample, greater behavioral regulation problems were associated with stronger negative FC within prefrontal pathways and visual reward pathways, as well as with weaker positive FC in frontostriatal reward pathways. These findings significantly increase our knowledge on FC in children with and without ADHD and highlight the potential of FC as brain-based signatures of behavioral regulation across children with differing neurodevelopmental conditions.

The association between sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) and executive function among children has been less investigated. We aimed to explore this topic. We randomly recruited 6387 children aged 6–12 years from five elementary schools in Guangzhou, China in 2019. Information on frequency and servings of children’s SSB consumption was assessed using a questionnaire. Children’s executive function was evaluated using parents’ ratings of the Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF), which comprises eight subscales—including inhibit, shift, emotional control, initiate, working memory, plan/organize, organization of materials and monitor, as well as three composite indexes including behavioral regulation index (BRI), metacognition index (MI), and global executive index (GEC). SSB consumption was positively associated with all subscales and composite scores of BRIEF as well as higher risks of elevated executive difficulties, indicating poorer executive function. For example, children who drank SSB ≥2 times/week were related to higher scores of GEC (estimates, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.44, 1.79 to 3.09) compared with those who never drank SSB. The odds ratio of elevated GEC associated with SSB consumption ≥2 times/week was 1.62 (95% CI: 1.34, 1.96) than non-consumers. The results of this study indicated that SSB consumption was associated with poorer executive function in children.

The results of the study of the subject-personal characteristics of military university officers (hereinafter officers) as predictors of burnout are represented. 73 officers (men) at the age of 23 to 51 years were examined. Negative relationships between phases of burnout and subjective (cognitive, volitional, emotional control, behavioral regulation, communicative potential) and personal (meaningfulness of life, moral normality) characteristics among officers have been revealed. Individual components of subject-personal characteristics are in close interrelation, which indicates that we are dealing with a complex system organization. There are significant differences among officers with various kinds of activity in terms of indicators of subject-personal characteristics. There are specific interrelations between subject-personal characteristics and phases of burnout of officers, depending on the type of official activity.

Introdução: A importância da prática de exercícios físicos pela população tem se tornado objeto de estudo de diversas áreas, tendo se comprovado os benefícios oriundos da realização constante dos exercícios físicos. Para incorporar essa prática na rotina, se faz importante saber a motivação das pessoas pela busca de um local para a prática de exercícios físicos. Objetivo: avaliar os níveis motivacionais de praticantes de exercícios resistidos. Método: 94 adultos, praticantes de exercícios resistidos, responderam a dois questionários, sendo um sóciodemográfico e o Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire – Version3 (BREQ-3). Resultados: 54,3% dos participantes buscavam saúde ao praticar o exercício resistido, e em relação aos domínios do BREQ-3, a média para a motivação intrínseca foi a mais alta. Conclusão: os participantes do estudo buscam por saúde e, de uma forma geral, eles se encontram motivados intrinsecamente na prática de exercícios resistidos.

One of the big challenges in the study of animal behavior is to combine molecular-level questions of functional genetics with meaningful combinations of environmental stimuli. Light and temperature are important external cues, influencing the behaviors of organisms. Thus, understanding the combined effect of light and temperature changes on wild-type vs. genetically modified animals is a first step to understand the role of individual genes in the ability of animals to cope with changing environments. Many behavioral traits can be extrapolated from behavioral tests performed from automated motion tracking combined with machine learning. Acquired datasets, typically complex and large, can be challenging for subsequent quantitative analyses. In this study, we investigate medaka behavior of tmt-opsin2 mutants vs. corresponding wild-types under different light and temperature conditions using automated tracking combined with a convolutional neuronal network and a Hidden Markov model-based approach. The temperatures in this study can occur in summer vs. late spring/early autumn in the natural habitat of medaka fish. Under summer-like temperature, tmt-opsin2 mutants did not exhibit changes in overall locomotion, consistent with previous observations. However, detailed analyses of fish position revealed that the tmt-opsin2 mutants spent more time in central locations of the dish, possibly because of decreased anxiety. Furthermore, a clear difference in location and overall movement was obvious between the mutant and wild-types under colder conditions. These data indicate a role of tmt-opsin2 in behavioral adjustment, at least in part possibly depending on the season.
