EVALUATION OF ANXIETY CONTROL IN SCHOOL-AGE SPORTS

Author(s): María Espada,Enrique Fradejas / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2019

Anxiety is the main manifestation of stress in competitive sport. This study evaluates anxiety control in school-age sport, according to gender, age, type of sport (individual / team) and sports modality. The research follows a descriptive quantitative methodology, using a survey. The sample was composed of 816 young athletes aged between 12 and 18 (411 men and 405 women), who practise different individual and team sports in Castilla-La Mancha (Spain). The sample size was calculated taking several aspects into consideration: the population is infinite; the population variance was calculated according to the worst-case scenario where “P” and “Q” are equal with 50% each; and the confidence interval was 95.5%, with a margin of error of ± 3.5%. The questionnaire used was Psychological Characteristics related to Sports Performance (CPRD). The results show statistically significant differences in relation to gender, since men have greater anxiety control. No statistically significant differences appear in relation to age, type of sport (individual / team) and sports modality. Likewise, correlations are evident with other relevant psychological dimensions such as motivation, influence of performance evaluation and mental ability, with the exception of team cohesion. Prevention measures should be implemented by coaches / educators, parents and young athletes, in order to strengthen their levels of self-confidence and simultaneously reduce the levels of anxiety generated in school-age sports.

MAI APROAPE DE STOPAREA VIOLENȚEI PSIHOLOGICE

Author(s): Carmen Manuela Cazan / Language(s): English Issue: 40/2019

The National Education Law was recently amended. In the legislative act, new articles were introduced, which aim to stop the phenomenon of bullying, by preventing and combating it. Specifically, the law stipulates that “in the educational units and in all the spaces destined for education and training are prohibited the behaviours that consist of the psychological violence - bullying”. Both the victim of the bullying and the aggressor will necessarily participate in psychological counselling. For the time being, however, the law enforcement rules remain, which will clearly specify what steps teachers need to take to stop the phenomenon but also what bully people should do. Teachers and educators will participate in information sessions and training courses related to the effects of psychological violence (bullying) and how it can be prevented and combated.

Author(s): Anamaria Berdilă,Laurentiu Gabriel Talaghir,Teodora-Mihaela Iconomescu,Cristian Mihail Rus / Language(s): English Issue: 4 Sup1/2019

The present paper presents the theoretical aspects related to the topic of psychomotricity and the way in which it is reflected in the domain-specific literature worldwide. The purpose of the study was to clarify the concepts, to identify specific classifications for the different application areas of psychomotricity, to generalize the components of psychomotricity and to identify evaluation methods for psychomotricity belonging to several domains. The study was carried out with the help of traditional means, in libraries and in the online environment. We accessed international databases that are acknowledged for the field of Sport Science and Physical Education in Romania. These databases are also acknowledged by other related research domains. 637 specialized bibliographic references were identified, out of which 584 online sources. In the present analysis we described the common aspects found in 50 bibliographic sources as well as definitions and concepts about psychomotor activity, stages of motor development and components of psychomotor activity and some psychomotor evaluation methods. The conclusion of the study is that the field of psychomotricity is very wide. The multidimensional approach of this subject is found in various fields of activity such as medicine, psychology, physiology, recreational or educational activities organized within a formal framework. Depending on the particular features of the psychomotor exercises, the educational values take multiple forms. The results in some domains interfere with those in other domains by the way in which the transfer between the motor and the cognitive components, between the physical and the psychological components is performed or vice versa.

The dynamics of scientific and technological progress incorporates new content into the goals and objectives of special education in training specialists as creative and thinking individuals. As a result, it leads to specific problems that must be solved immediately. There is a need to rethink theoretical and psychoeducational foundations and accumulated practical experience of higher education institutions. The research aims to prove theoretically and to verify the effectiveness of pedagogical conditions for developing technical creativity in future engineering educators experimentally. The pedagogical conditions for developing technical creativity in future engineering educators are as follows: creating appropriate content and nature of teachers’ activities; providing a creative environment for developing technical creativity. It must be noted that 261 students were involved in the experiment (a bachelor’s degree): the control group (CG) consists of 134 students and the experimental group (EG) – of 127 students. Relevant control tests and questionnaires were employed during the experimental stage, which allowed assessing the effectiveness of the proposed activities. According to the results of the calculations, the statistics of the criterion is Тobs. > Тcrit. (14.94>11.34). Thus, with a probability of 0.99, one can argue that the level of technical creativity in EG students differs from the level in CG. Indeed, the high level is 29.92% G and the average level in 53.54%. At the same time, the high and average levels of CG students are 16.42% and 47.76% respectively. The analysis of experimental work shows the expediency of the justified and verified pedagogical conditions for developing the technical creativity in future engineering educators.

THE METHOD OF DESTRUCTIVE SCENARIO FORECASTING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIVERGENT THINKING OF MANAGERS

Author(s): Irina Rezanovich,Anatoly Rezanovich,Marina Piatkova,Tatiana Peredrienko / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The phenomenon of thinking is well studied in psychology, and many of its types are revealed. However, little attention is paid to the development of divergent thinking in general and the development of divergent thinking of managers in particular. At the same time, multidirectional management decisions, their prompt adoption and the originality of content are very necessary for enterprises. The aim of the article is to give the characteristic of divergent thinking, to note its features and to present own definition of the concept “divergent thinking of managers”. In the article the analysis of one of the functions of managers, that is forecasting, is described. The scenario method and a new method of destructive scenario forecasting are proposed. The algorithm of the last method application in the form of a technological map is shown. The result of using the method for 2 years on specialized programs of professional development and retraining of managers is described. The results of mathematical processing of the obtained data on diagnostic procedures are presented. They testify that in the experimental groups the development of qualitative characteristics of divergent thinking of managers proceeded more intensively than in the control ones, in which the method of destructive scenario forecasting was not used. That proves the effectiveness of the proposed method for the development of divergent thinking of managers.

The Adult and the Adult Ego State

Author(s): Elena Tiron / Language(s): English Issue: 1-2/2020

The paper is structured in two parts: transactional analysis and the ego states and the interaction between several concepts similar to transactional analysis: psychotherapy, counselling, coaching, training, consulting, mentoring. In the former part we describe and characterize the states of the ego specific to the "Transactional Analysis", the explicative theory of the personality. The state of the self in the centre of attention as a desirable and balanced state of personality is the state of adulthood. The former part also explains the transactions and the life positions, as well as the ways in which they ensure the balance of the adult. The latter highlights the similarities and differences between the concepts of psychotherapy, counselling, coaching, training, consulting, mentoring through comparative analysis. From the theory and practice of Transactional Analysis (AT) we identify the aims, principles, communication relations and the provision of AT-specific positive stimuli that are bridges to the enunciated concepts and ways of acquiring the autonomy of the adult. The methods used in this paper are scientific documentation, comparative analysis and modelling of the adult state according to the presented concepts.
