Full textGlobally the Subjective Well-Being (SWB) of children is recognized as having a significant effect on the child's psychological and social functioning. Furthermore, not only does children's SWB have effects on childhood well-being research, it has also increased the knowledge of how children view their life that has been determined through the measurement of specific domains that relates to children's lives. The overall aim of this study was to ascertain the SWB of children across three age groups in the Western Cape. Within this process, the study further aimed to fit the structural model depicting the nature of the relationship between global, domain specific and overall life satisfaction across three age groups. The Theory of Model Fit: Goodness of Fit and Fit Indexes was used as the theoretical position conceptualising the study. The sample included 3236 children aged 8, 10, and 12 years selected using stratified random sampling from 29 schools in the Western Cape. The study used Structural Equation Modelling and Multi-group Confirmatory Factor Analysis to address the stated aims and objectives. Ethics principles of informed consent, anonymity, the right to withdraw and privacy were adhered to within the study. Findings of this study indicate that the descriptive statistics depicted high levels of SWB for both measures with mean composite scores ranging between 81.20 to 86.15 for the SLSS; and 83.29 to 84.07 for the PWI-SC. Confirmatory factor analysis showed excellent fit for both the SLSS and the PWI-SC across age groups (multi-group model). The application of Multi-group Confirmatory Factor Analysis in the current study found the measures to be comparable across the three age groups (8, 10 & 12) for the SLSS and two age groups for the PWI-SC (10 & 12). A combined model with two latent constructs, representing different levels of abstraction was also tested. An excellent fit was obtained for this combined model. Appropriate fit statistics was obtained for the overall pooled sample. The standardised regression weights of 0.57 for the PWI-SC and 0.47 for the SLSS point to adequate loadings of the latent constructs onto the OLS. Markedly, it was found that a significant overall mean difference was found between the 10 and 12-year olds and not between the 8 and 10-year olds; while for the domain-specific PWI-SC a similar tendency was noted across the 10 and 12-year olds participants (8 year old group was not applicable in this analysis).

Full textThe Ironman Triathlon is an epic endurance event consisting of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile run. There is paucity in the literature relating to how athletes learn how to negotiate this event. This qualitative study was conducted over a 9 month period, to align with the 2013 Ironman training and racing season. Seven athletes were selected for participation in the study. Utilizing a case study approach, the Ironman athletes' learning pathways were examined through in-depth interviews and audio and video content personally captured by the participants.
The learning pathways revealed the athletes initially learned through cognitive means, i.e. social interaction, reading, Internet sources, and the observation of others. As athletes traversed the learning pathway, they subsequently operationalized the knowledge they learned and constructively made it meaningful to their respective personal training and racing situations. At the terminal end of the learning pathway, the athletes operationalized the learned content in an experiential learning cycle. During the entire learning pathway, the athletes practiced the learned content, which is best characterized as behavioral learning. The audio and video content provided by the athletes empirically validated the interviews.
The interviews with the athletes were coded. Some unifying themes emerged from the data independent of cognitive, constructivist, behavioral, or experiential learning theories; e.g. the importance of mental toughness, the understanding of pain during the training and racing process, how success is measured, the importance of training with a power meter, and motivating factors.

Full textlt;p align="justify"gt; Em debates e reflexões durante o Fórum da Agenda 21 da região da Bacia do Rio Caratinga, foi sugerido que o poder público e sociedade civil estimulassem a formação de grupos de terceira idade. Sabe-se que em muitos grupos de terceira idade existe a valorização da juventude e negação da velhice, e no grupo de Caratinga? O objetivo desse trabalho é analisar como os idosos de um Grupo de Terceira Idade de Caratinga se auto-representam. Buscaremos compreender como as experiências vividas pelos indivíduos influenciam nas suas representações de velhice, como os papéis de gênero se relacionam com essas representações e os motivos que os levaram a participar do grupo. Os dados foram colhidos através da observação participante, grupo focal e entrevistas individuais. Participam do Forró, homens e mulheres com idade igual ou maior que 45 anos, aposentados, viúvos e co-residindo com outros familiares. As mulheres exibem seus corpos através da vestimenta e da dança, na tentativa de atrair os homens, e eles através da dança e dos cortejos tentam obter relacionamentos furtivos ou mesmo duradouros. Em relação às representações sociais de velhice, observamos a conotação negativa da velhice, valorização da juventude. Ser velho para eles é quem não dança, não passeia, não conhece outras pessoas. Outras representações sociais de velhice foram observadas: a velhice como categoria de idade, como exclusão social e como finitude. Os que se sentem velhos e entendem a velhice como uma categoria de idade, são as mulheres mais velhas. Alguns entrevistados se sentem discriminados pela família e pela sociedade. As formas de sociabilidade buscadas pelos idosos são formas que unem grupos geracionais específicos. Isso justifica, a sensação de estar acompanhado dentro do Forró, mas também a de abandono no ambiente familiar. Apenas alguns associaram a velhice à morte, entretanto, não podemos querer que a própria morte seja encarada tranquilamente pelos entrevistados. Mas para assumir sua vida, seu envelhecimento e sua morte com responsabilidade, não se pode evitar pensar na própria finitude. Quanto às diferenças de gênero, vários responderam que parar de dançar, de conhecer pessoas novas não são atribuições que podem ser caracterizadas como de homens ou mulheres. Outros relatam que a velhice para o homem é pior, já que a liberdade que a aposentadoria e que a velhice lhe trouxe são ilusórias. Eles sempre foram mais livres que as mulheres, portanto não tendem a ver essa fase da vida com tanto entusiasmo. Portanto, no Forró existem várias velhices socialmente construídas. Ocorrem mudanças na vida com o envelhecimento, no entanto não podemos afirmar que a vida do jovem é melhor, já que também na vida dele ocorrerão crises. Também não podemos compreender que a velhice possa ser melhor para um dos sexos, já que eles envelhecem de formas diferentes e de acordo com critérios históricos e sociais, genéticos e ambientais. Conclui-se que os Programas para a Terceira Idade são boas alternativas, desde que algumas questões sejam reformuladas e que não tentem generalizar um processo que é pessoal, social e histórico.lt;/pgt;

Full textThis dissertation opens with an introduction to the concept of cooperative behavior and the open research questions related to the effects of autistic traits, age, and group size on human cooperation (Chapter 1). The first empirical study in this dissertation (Chapter 2), which has been published in Cognition (Maurer, Chambon, Bourgeois-Gironde, Leboyer, & Zalla, 2018) investigated the effects of prior social information (reputation) and direct reciprocity on the dynamics of trust-building and cooperation in adults with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the multi-round Trust Game (MTG). In line with the hypotheses that people with ASD are more influenced by prior social information and less flexible in integrating feedback from online evidence, the results revealed that reputational priors strongly influenced the decisions of participants with ASD to trust their counterparts during the first and later rounds of interaction, while the sample of typically developed (TD) participants updated their judgments of counterparts’ trustworthiness after a couple of interactions and rapidly adopted the optimal Tit-for-Tat strategy. Chapter 3 describes a pilot study that employed the methodological approach of the MTG to explore how prior reputational information about partners and direct reciprocity experience influence trust behavior and the dynamics of social learning in adolescents between 14 and 16 years of age compared to adults. In line with previously reported difficulties in the flexible integration of novel social information and an immature Theory of Mind in adolescents, the results showed that adolescents encountered more difficulties than adults in integrating incoming social evidence from partners’ behavior and using it to flexibly review their prior social beliefs about cooperation partners’ trustworthiness. Chapter 4 introduces a developmental study that investigated how children and adolescents cooperate in the one-shot bargaining context of the Ultimatum Game when bargaining individually and as a group about real money payoffs. Previous research on collective decision-making found that adult groups systematically behave in a more economically rational manner than individuals. The results revealed that responder demands decreased significantly with age, and responder groups demanded significantly less than individual responders. However, no age or group effect was found in the proposer sample. Importantly, we found that proposer group decisions were best predicted by previous individual offers in the UG, as well as by the usage of strategy arguments during group discussions. In contrast, responder group demands were best predicted by the types of arguments employed during group discussions, that is, strategy and fairness reasoning. Finally, Chapter 5 summarizes the main empirical findings of this dissertation and gives an outlook for future research on the effects of autistic traits, age, and group size on cooperation

Full textGiven the economic, environmental, and health issues related to the increasing number of people over 65 years in the coming decades, the identification of the factors associated with the maintenance or the degradation of physical health with advancing age is a major public health concern. Personality, as defined by the Five-Factors Model (FFM, Digman, 1990), is consistently associated with physical health in old age. However, few studies have focused on the underlying mechanisms of this relation. Based upon a five studies research program, the present doctoral dissertation aimed to contribute to current knowledge by identifying a number of factors which may modulate and explain the contribution of personality traits on markers of physical health with advancing age. This research revealed a moderating role of chronological age in the relation between personality, and openness to experiences in particular, and perceived health (study 1), which appeared to be dependent upon disease burden (study 2). Moreover, the contribution of personality on markers of physical health does not seem to be activated by the exposure to age-related stereotype (study 3). Finally, the present doctoral project confirmed the relation between openness to experience and a youthful subjective age, which is a recognized protective factor for physical health in old age, and identified the mediating role of age-group dissociation in this relationship (study 4). The tendencies to dissociate oneself from one's age group and to feel younger among open older people seem to be independent of the context and the environment (study 5). This doctoral dissertation contributes to an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms underlying the contribution of personality traits on physical health with advancing age, and adds to a growing body of research emphasizing the implications of openness to experience for global health and functioning of older people
