Abstract:
The concept of sustainability has been widely discussed in the public arena by public entities and companies; however, consumers express inconsistency and confusion around the meaning of sustainability. This study aims to provide insights into consumers’ associations with the concept of sustainability in general and within two behavioural domains that represent daily necessities (i.e., food and clothing), in addition to exploring the motivational drivers behind sustainable behaviours. A total of 23 semi-structured interviews were conducted with young consumers in Denmark to address this aim. Consumers perceived the concept of sustainability as complex and mainly related it to environmental aspects, whereas social and economic aspects were less emphasised. The interviewees used examples of sustainable behaviours, which cover the whole consumption-cycle, when interpreting sustainability. Consumers had various motivations to engage in sustainable behaviours and these varied by the stage in the consumption-cycle and domain. The interviewees displayed external motivation (e.g., save money, better taste), introjected motivation (e.g., impress others, public self-consciousness), internalised motivation (e.g., reflection of self) and even intrinsic motivation (e.g., pure interest) to engage in different types of sustainable food or clothing behaviours across the consumption-cycle. Different types of motivations drove the same behaviour, suggesting potential synergies or internal conflicts.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the growing field of membership research by applying a relationship marketing perspective on members in tourism settings. Focus is on exploring why consumers are members (motivational dimensions) and how motivations are related to member behaviours (retention, participation and co-creation), and to member demographics (gender, age, distance between the member's home and the supported organization). Design/methodology/approach – A survey was conducted among members of a nonprofit tourist attraction (n=755). Classical chi-square tests, t-tests and multivariate analysis using logistic regression were used to analyze data and to test eight hypotheses on member demographics, member motivations and member behaviours. Findings – Findings show that among the three motivational dimensions, altruism, i.e. doing good for others, was the strongest motive, followed by self-interest, i.e. doing good for yourself, and then the social motive, i.e. doing good with others, which scored lowest. Furthermore, findings show that gender, age and distance were significantly related to member motivations and member behaviours. Member behaviours were significantly related to motivations. Research limitations/implications – This study was conducted at a single nonprofit tourist attraction. However, it provides insights into different motivational dimensions for why people pay to become members and what kind of member behaviour they demonstrate. This topic calls for further research to explore the complex membership phenomenon such as extending this study by identifying member motives and behaviour in other contexts. Practical implications – This explorative study of members of a nonprofit tourist attraction contributes insights into why consumers are members (motivational dimensions), how motivations are related to member behaviours in a membership relationship context, and how member demographics are related to motivations and behaviours. Findings have implications for membership managers and the development of memberships in terms of giving a deeper insight into members as consumers in order to develop memberships as strategic resources and hence use the full potential of memberships especially vital to non-profit organizations. Several aspects of memberships are discussed that may inspire the development of member offerings. The present study contributes to the developing field of membership research as it is a response to the calls for more empirical studies of members to develop an integrated understanding of motivations of memberships. Furthermore it contributes with research of co-creation in customer relationships linking the co-creation concept to research of members in tourism settings. Originality/value – This study contributes to the developing field of membership research and furthermore gives insights into consumer motivations and behaviours that may inspire development of innovative and competitive membership offerings building membership relationships in tourism settings.

Abstract:
BackgroundPublic figures are at increased risk of attracting unwanted attention in the form of intrusions, stalking and, occasionally, attack. Whereas the potential threat to the British Royal Family from terrorists and organized groups is clearly defined, there is a dearth of knowledge about that from individual harassers and stalkers. This paper reports findings from the first systematic study of this group.MethodA retrospective study was conducted of a randomly selected stratified sample (n=275) of 8001 files compiled by the Metropolitan Police Service's Royalty Protection Unit over 15 years on inappropriate communications or approaches to members of the British Royal Family. Cases were split into behavioural types. Evidence of major mental illness was recorded from the files. Cases were classified according to a motivational typology. An analysis was undertaken of associations between motivation, type of behaviour and mental illness.ResultsOf the study sample, 83.6% were suffering from serious mental illness. Different forms of behaviour were associated with different patterns of symptomatology. Cases could be separated into eight motivational groups, which also showed significant differences in mental state. Marked differences in the intrusiveness of behaviour were found between motivational groups.ConclusionsThe high prevalence of mental illness indicates the relevance of psychiatric intervention. This would serve the health interests of psychotic individuals and alleviate protection concerns without the necessity of attempting large numbers of individual risk predictions. The finding that some motivations are more likely to drive intrusive behaviours than others may help focus both health and protection interventions.

AbstractThe commonality in neural mechanism (transmitter and brain region) underpinning stereotypy and that associated with motivation of goaldirected behaviours lends support to the idea that the former is derived from the latter. Hughes and Duncan postulated this theory behaviourally within their proposed 1988 model of motivation. This review re–interprets the Hughes and Duncan model to neurochemically describe the motivational development of stereotypic behaviour in the horse.

Abstract:
Objective: To identify the influence of parental autonomy support, basic need satisfaction and motivation on emerging adults’ physical activity level and exercise behaviours. Design: Cross-sectional survey. Setting: This study convenience-sampled approximately 435 college students identified as emerging adults – aged 18–25 years, who did not have a child, own a home, or have sufficient income to be fully independent. Methods: Survey responses were used in a path model to investigate how parental autonomy support, psychological mediators and motivational processes influenced emerging adults’ exercise behaviour. Results: The hypothesised model was supported with minor modifications. Most notable was the influence of parental physical activity level and autonomy support on psychological mediators, motivational processes and exercise behaviour. Conclusion: Results indicate that parents influence their children both directly and indirectly. The impact of autonomy and competence support was found to promote emerging adults’ intrinsic motivation, which consequently influenced actual physical activity and behaviour.

Abstract:
A renewed interest in the study of character and virtue has recently emerged in the fields of Education and Psychology. The latest research has confirmed the association between virtuous consistent behaviours and academic positive outcomes. However, the motivational dimension of character (the intentions underlying the patterns of observed behaviours) has received little attention. This research aims to extend the knowledge on this topic by examining the predictive relationships between the behavioural and motivational dimensions of character, with reference to academic engagement, career self-doubt and performance of Spanish university students. A total of 183 undergraduates aged 18–30 (142 of whom were women) from the north of Spain completed specific parts of self-report questionnaires, including the Values in Action VIA-72, a Spanish translated and validated version of the Moral Self-Relevance Measure MSR, and the Utrecht Work Engagement Student Scale UWES-S9. The collected data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling. The behavioural dimension of character (character strength factors of caring, self-control and inquisitiveness) showed positive associations with academic engagement and performance. The motivational dimension of character (phronesis motivation), was negatively related to career self-doubt. For the first time, the present study has provided support for the contribution of both dimensions of character to undergraduate academic outcomes.

Abstract:
Objective: Football is the predominant sport in Brazil, but a better understanding of what motivates non-football and football fans is needed.Method: A conceptual model is empirically tested of the effects of six motivational drivers-Interest in Team, Socialisation, Aesthetics, Sport Knowledge, Interest in Sport, Vicarious Achievement-on both attitudinal and behavioural fan loyalty using survey data from 483 Brazilian sports fans.Originality/Relevance: a theoretical gap exists as to understanding the unique motivations for Brazilian fan loyalty (Wang, Zhang, Tsuji, 2011) and what drives Brazilian fans to attitudinally commit to a team and exhibit fan-related behaviours, such as attending matches and buying team merchandise.Results: fans of both football and other sports in Brazil share some underlying motivational drivers of attitudinal loyalty and behavioural loyalty. They also indicate that some differences exist across the motivational drivers of attitudinal and behavioural fan loyalty.Theoretical/methodological contributions: Results from this study support previous research into the influence of motivations on attitudinal loyalty and behavioural loyalty and offer insights into the direct influence of different motivations on attitudinal loyalty and behavioural loyalty.Social/management contributions: these findings will assist sports-marketing practitioners of sports competing with football in Brazil to formulate more effective, fan-centric marketing-communication strategies leading to a larger loyal fan base.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed various obstacles and restrictions for the tourism and hospitality industry. This paper adopts the concept of the behavioural immune system to discuss tourism and hospitality customers’ potential behaviours during the pandemic and provide business strategies that can address these behaviours. The behavioural immune system is a motivational system that determines individuals’ behaviours to pathogen infection. First, this study introduces the mechanism of the behavioural immune system including environmental evaluation and aversive perception, aversive emotional and cognitive responses, and avoidance behaviours. It also provides examples in the guest service context to better portray the mechanism. Second, the study suggests specific measures for tourism and hospitality businesses that may help them to prevent the aversive and avoidance responses of customers triggered by their behavioural immune system during the pandemic. Then, the study integrates customers’ responses and businesses’ measures in a framework, which extends the literature on customers’ behaviour in the hospitality and tourism context. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first time the concept of behavioural immune system is adopted to discuss customers’ behaviours towards tourism and hospitality services during a pandemic.

Abstract:
Practical relevance: Crucial to successful treatment of problem behaviour and optimising the welfare of the individual cat is determining which underpinning emotion(s) are involved in the presentation of the behaviour. Feline emotions are not feelings per se, but motivational-emotional systems that are responsible for instinctual emotional arousal. Often different interventions are required to alleviate different negative emotional motivations. Clinical challenges: Identifying different emotional motivations and the arousal level associated with them solely from observations of behaviour and body language is a difficult task because, as with any species, the behavioural repertoire of the domestic cat is finite and the same behaviour may occur with the activation of different emotional systems. In addition, cats, like people, may experience more than one emotion at the same time or switch quickly between emotional motivations, and this further complicates identification. The behavioural assessment of pain is also notoriously difficult in cats. Evidence base: This review draws on the published literature where available and, where there is a paucity of research, on hypotheses derived from observations of professionals in the field. Global importance: Being able to recognise and assess feline emotional motivations in order to address problem behaviours and improve welfare is important for all veterinarians who see cats.

Abstract:
This thesis comprises of a collection of four research studies in the area of motivational climate in physical education (PE). In the first study, a computer based observational measure of the teaching behaviours that influence motivational climate (TARGET) was developed and the degree of congruence between the observational measure and pupils' and teachers' subjective perceptions of the motivational climate was evaluated. Results revealed mastery and performance involving teaching behaviours, congruency between teaching behaviours and subjective perceptions of the climate, and significant differences between teachers' and pupils' perceptions of the motivational climate. The second study further validated the measure of teaching behaviours by comparing teacher behaviours and pupils' perceptions of the motivational climate in a cross-cultural study. Results indicated significantly higher levels of performance involving teaching behaviours and higher levels of a perceived performance climate in Singapore compared to the UK. Based on findings related to the authority structure in the cross-cultural study, the third study examined the effects of different teaching styles on the TARGET behaviours and pupils' focus group responses in PE lessons in the UK. Results revealed that pupil-centred teaching styles resulted in more mastery involving teaching behaviours and more adaptive motivational responses than the more teacher-centred style. Based on these findings, the final study instigated a mastery intervention programme for teacher education based on self-observation of filmed PE lessons and evaluated its effect on the TARGET behaviours, pupils' perceptions of the motivational climate and cognitive and affective responses. The mastery intervention programme was successful in fostering more mastery involving teaching behaviours. Contrary to the hypothesis, pupils' perceptions of the motivational climate were more performance involved post-intervention, which may have been due to the public nature of the recognition and evaluation of effort and improvement (mastery coded). Further, results revealed that low affect pupils significantly increased their cognitive and affective responses from pre- to post-intervention.

Abstract:
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based, directive, client-centered therapy designed to develop discrepancy and resolve ambivalence by eliciting and reinforcing client Change Talk. However, the exact link between the process engaged in during MI and outcome is only starting to be uncovered. The present thesis has replicated and expanded on the current knowledge of the relationship between Therapist and Client Behaviours during a MI-based intervention (Motivational Enhancement Therapy; MET) and outcome, and has provided support for the emergent theory of the inner workings of MI. This was achieved by coding 106 audiotaped MET sessions primarily by the methods outlined in the Motivational Interviewing Skill Code Version 2.0. Data was drawn from 28 participants who received 3-4 sessions of MET within the context of a randomised controlled trial for mild-moderate alcohol dependence at the Community Alcohol and Drug Service of Christchurch. Therapist and Client Behaviours were analysed within sessions (categorised into Early, Mid, or End Intervals) and across sessions, and compared with whether the client had drank within national drinking guidelines during the 6-months after MET (Controlled Drinkers). In terms of Client Behaviours during MET it was found that Uncontrolled Drinkers (compared with Controlled Drinkers) uttered a significantly higher frequency of Sustain Talk, lower Ability Language strength (over all MET and during End Intervals), and lower Commitment Language strength (during Session 2 and 4, and change over MET). Giving Information was the only Therapist Behaviour where significant differences were observed over all MET, with a higher frequency given to the Uncontrolled Drinkers. However, during End Intervals within MET Sessions, Controlled Drinkers received a significantly higher frequency of Advise without Permission and a lower frequency of Emphasise Control statements. In most instances MI-Consistent Therapist Behaviours were associated with higher strength of Ability and Commitment Language, and a lower frequency of Sustain Talk. MI-Inconsistent Therapist Behaviour, Direct, was associated with lower Client Language strength. Limitations to these results include small sample, limited ability to make inferences about causality, coder biases, and uneven reliability. However, this exploratory study was unique in investigating the relationship between Therapist Behaviours and the strength of Client Language, and in examining these factors within and across multiple sessions, and has produced a number of potentially valuable findings that warrant further investigation.

Abstract:
Adventurous Training (AT) within Army Phase One organisations is used to assist in the development of British Army recruit core values . This study measured the internalisation of British Army recruit core values during the AT week at two separate Phase One training organisations. A pre-test, post-test design was used to evaluate recruit (n = 302) motivational internalisation of core values during a structured 5-day training week, where recruits undertook a mixture of rock climbing, caving, canoeing, kayaking, and hill walking activities, and were required to complete tasks in unfamiliar and challenging environmental conditions. Reflecting the influence of the training, Bonferroni corrected, pair-samples, ttests conducted on the Relative Autonomy Index were significant for the motivational internalisation of All core values and four of the six independent core values (Selfless Commitment, Courage, Loyalty and Respect for Others). Further examination at external, introjected and integrated regulations additionally revealed significant results for all core values with the AT week appearing to have the most robust effect on introjected regulation. A second hypothesis was concerned with the effects of the leadership of AT instructors in developing recruit core values and asked specifically whether high levels of transformational leadership behaviours were associated with an enhanced internalisation of core values. Fifty nine instructors took part in the study and four transformational leadership behaviours were hypothesised to be associated with greater gains in the internalisation of all core values. Analyses revealed mixed results regarding individual transformational leadership behaviours; however, individual consideration was found to be the most significant behaviour. The implications for training developments are discussed.

Abstract:
Choisir entre l'action ou l'inaction est peut-être le type de décision le plus critique auquel un animal peut faire face. Une formalisation simple de ces choix consiste à évaluer les bénéfices attendus (nourriture, argent par exemple) ainsi que les coûts (punitions, pertes de temps ou d'argent) associés à chaque action et d'optimiser le rapport entre récompenses reçues et coûts assumés. Notre motivation à s'engager dans une action donnée dépend donc de la valeur de ce rapport. Dans le domaine de l'économie comportementale, l’optimisation de ce rapport bénéfices/coûts constitue le principe fondamental qui régule et explique le comportement des individus. Dans mes travaux de thèse, j'ai réalisé une implémentation de ces concepts venant de l'économie comportementale en utilisant une forme expérimentalement quantifiable de coûts: l'effort physique. Dans notre vie de tous les jours, si l'on nous demande de choisir entre deux options rapportant les même bénéfices mais demandant différents efforts (par exemple, travailler 3 ou 7 jours par semaine pour le même salaire), nous choisissons habituellement l'option qui nécessite la plus petite dépense d'énergie, en optant donc pour le moindre effort. Néanmoins, l'effort physique a été beaucoup moins étudié en comparaison à d'autres formes de coûts comme le fait de différer la récompense ou d'en augmenter l'incertitude. Le présent travail de recherche a donc pour but de mettre en lumière les bases neurales de la balance récompense / effort dans la prise de décision. Comprendre comment l'effort affecte la dévaluation des potentielles récompenses a un intérêt particulier pour la prise de décisions économiques mais aussi pour la clinique, étant donné que la diminution de la capacité à accepter d'avoir à exercer un effort est un symptôme-clé de nombreuses pathologies comme l'apathie ou la dépression. Nous faisons l’hypothèse que de tels désordres pourraient résulter de deux différents processus comportementaux: (a) une diminution de la sensibilité aux bénéfices futurs et/ou (b) une sensibilité excessive aux coûts potentiels. Ainsi, lorsqu'interrogés sur les raisons pour lesquelles ils ne veulent pas aller au cinéma regarder un film qu'ils apprécient, les patients apathiques peuvent déclarer que (a) le film n'est pas assez bon (soit une plus faible réponse à la valeur attendue), (b) le cinéma est trop loin (soit une plus forte sensibilité à l'effort anticipé). Afin de tester ces hypothèses, nous avons enregistré l'activité de neurones chez le singe pendant des tâches comportementales. Nous avons trouvé que d'une part, la dopamine encode la valeur de l'action future et oriente le comportement vers l'option demandant le moindre effort. D'autre part, la noradrénaline permet à l'individu de faire face à l'effort à venir en réduisant la sensibilité à l'anticipation de l'effort. En utilisant une approche pharmacologique, nous avons démontré que lorsque le niveau de noradrénaline est augmenté, les singes exercent d'avantage d'effort. En outre, nous avons montré que les potentiels locaux de champ dans le cortex pré-frontal ventro-médian, enregistrés dans une tâche comportementale identique, sont modulés par la valeur attendue et prédisent le choix du singe. En résumé, ce travail permet de départager en partie les circuits neuronaux impliqués dans le calcul de la balance récompense / effort, principalement encodée par les neurones dopaminergiques et dans les potentiels locaux de champ au niveau du cortex pré-frontal ventro-médian. Enfin, ce travail souligne le rôle de la noradrénaline dans la mobilisation de l'énergie d'un individu afin de faire face au défi que représente l'effort physique
There is perhaps no more critical factor for the behaviour of an animal than the way it chooses between action and inaction. A simple way to formalise such choices is to evaluate the predicted benefit (e.g. food, money) and costs (e.g. punishments, losses, delays) associated with each action and optimise the rates at which rewards are received and costs avoided. Our motivation to perform a given action depends upon such value ratio. In the current behavioural economics literature, the optimisation of the benefits/costs ratio stands as the fundamental principle that regulates and explains agents’ behaviour. In my Ph.D. studies, I implement a realistic model of such concepts from behavioural economics by using an empirical type of cost: physical effort. In our everyday life, if we are asked to choose between two options that imply the same reward but different efforts (e.g., working 3 or 7 days per week for the same salary), we usually opt for the alternative that requires the slightest energy expenditure, thus the least effort. However, physical effort has been far less studied compared to other decision costs such as delay or uncertainty. The present Ph.D. work aims at highlighting the neuronal bases of such reward/effort tradeoff. Understanding how effort cost affects the discounting of potential rewards has a clear significance for economic decisions and clinics, since the reduced willingness to exert effort is a key signature of several clinical disorders such as apathy and depression We suggest that disorders such as apathy could result from two different behavioural processes: (a) a decreased responsiveness to future benefits and/or (b) an excessive sensitivity to potential costs. For instance, when asked why they would not go see a movie they like, patients may say that (a) the movie is not good enough (i.e. low responsiveness to expected value) or that (b) the theatre is too far away (i.e. high sensitivity to anticipated effort). To test our hypothesis, we combined behavioural tasks and pharmacological approach with neuron recordings in monkeys, targeting specifically two majors actors of the rewarding and effort system, dopamine and noradrenaline. We found that dopamine and noradrenaline have distinct but complementary roles. On the one hand, dopamine tracks the reward value of future outcomes and orient the behaviour towards the least effortful options. On the other hand, noradrenaline enables subjects to face the effort at hand, reducing the sensitivity to anticipated effort. Using a pharmacological approach, we found that, when we increase noradrenaline, monkeys exerted significantly more effort. Moreover, we have found that local field potentials in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex recorded in the same task encode the expected value and predict action selection. In summary, this Ph.D. work allows to disentangle some of the neuronal circuits implicated in the computation of the reward/effort tradeoff, mainly encoded by dopaminergic neurons and in the local field potential of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. On the other hand, this work highlights the role of noradrenaline in the energization of behaviour to face the challenge represented by the physical effort

Full text
Abstract:
Recent research has shown that using a third-person (observer's) perspective to visualise a behaviour (voting, studying) results in stronger motivation to engage in the visualised behaviour than when the first-person (own) perspective is used (Libby, Shaeffer, Eibach, & Slemmer, 2007; Vasquez & Buehler, 2007). This thesis was concerned with whether this effect could be replicated in a health context- whether the perspective used when visualising a health behaviour affected motivation and subsequent behaviour. Experiments 1 and 2 found, in contrast to previous research, that participants who used the first-person perspective to visualise a behaviour (blood donation, smoking cessation) were more motivated to engage in the visualised behaviour than those who used the third-person perspective. Drawing on action identification theory (Vallcher & Wegner, 1987), it was predicted that the effect of perspective on motivation was moderated by the difficulty of the visualised behaviour. Supporting this, in Experiments 3 and 4 (in which difficulty was manipulated in addition to perspective), the effect of perspective on motivation was found to be moderated by difficulty, and this effect carried over into behaviour one week later in Experiment 4. It was hypothesised that the effect of perspective on motivation was mediated by the level of abstraction at which the visualised behaviour was mentally represented (in accordance with construalleve1 theory, Trope & Liberman, 2003). Although this mediation effect was not obtained in Experiment 5 when abstraction was assessed using the behavioural identification form (Vallacher & Wegner, 1987), Experiment 6 assessed the linguistic abstraction of participants' written accounts of their visualisation, and here it was found that the beneficial effect of the first-person perspective on motivation when visualising a difficult health behaviour (drinking restraint) was mediated by a more concrete representation of the behaviour, as predicted. A meta-analytical synthesis of the findings from Experiments 1 to 6 supported predictions regarding the moderating role of behaviour difficulty, and the mediating role of level of abstraction. Implications for theory and health behaviour change interventions are discussed.

Abstract:
Adherence to self-management strategies during multidisciplinary pain management interventions has been shown to be a significant predictor of pain outcomes. Despite these findings, the reasons patients adhere to self-management strategies is poorly understood. Therefore, it is difficult to know in what way to best improve adherence in order to maximise treatment-related gains. Readiness to adopt new pain behaviours has shown promise as a construct that can be used to predict adherence to prescribed pain behaviours.«br /» «br /» This research project comprised of an empirical study and a meta-analysis and systematic review. The meta-analysis and systematic review aimed to determine whether motivational interviewing approaches are effective in improving adherence, pain and physical function for patients with chronic pain. The results from seven studies indicate that MI leads to short-term increases in adherence to chronic pain treatments, although publication bias cannot be ruled out as an explanation for the findings. Further, it is as yet unclear whether these effects result in improvements in patient function.«br /» «br /» After establishing preliminary evidence that motivational interviewing approaches increase adherence to chronic pain treatment, an empirical study was established to explore the potential mechanisms associated with such increases. The study was primarily designed to determine whether readiness to adopt pain self-management strategies predicted these behaviours in a three-week multidisciplinary pain management program. The study also explored the relationship between individual’s beliefs about the perceived benefit in using self-management strategies and adherence to these strategies. The treating clinical psychologist rated participants adherence to each self-management strategy taught in the pain management program at the end of each week using a scale of 0 to 2, where 0 = ’not using the strategy at all’, 1 = ’using it inconsistently’, and 2 = ’using it consistently’.«br /» «br /» One hundred and nineteen participants consented to participate in the study. The major finding of this study was that individual’s perceived benefit in adopting self-management strategies early in treatment predicted small improvements in pain management coping behaviours in subsequent weeks of the program, particularly perceived benefit in the first week of the program. Interestingly, no strong bi-directional relationships were observed. That is, adherence did not predict individual’s perceived benefit in using self-management strategies in subsequent weeks. Contrary to expectations, readiness to adopt pain management strategies at baseline was not associated with adherence to self-management strategies during any week of the three-week program. Furthermore, this study failed to replicate the robust findings of past research that showed adherence to be an independent predictor of pain outcomes.«br /» «br /» The findings of this research project raises questions about the theoretical and clinical application of the transtheroetical model and the motivational model of pain self-management in chronic pain. Based on the findings, other health psychology models such as the health belief model may have more value for predicting adherence to chronic pain treatment. This research project also highlights the importance of individual’s expectancies and the process of change in chronic pain treatment. In particular, there is a need for more process-oriented research that assesses the temporal aspects of change so that an understanding of the mechanisms of change can be identified. This would in turn inform how current approaches to chronic pain treatment can be improved. Finally, the findings of the empirical study stress the need for valid and reliable measures of adherence that not only gauge participant adherence but therapist fidelity to therapeutic processes.

Abstract:
Even motivated students procrastinate, for procrastination is triggered by a volitional (rather than by a motivational) problem. However, many factors, such as learning context, teacher interpersonal style, and also type of motivation may influence the occurrence of procrastination. The aim of the present study was to assess the relations between first-year university students’ procrastination and controlling teacher behaviour. Four types of controlling teacher behaviour and three distinct measures of procrastination were ecvaluated and their correlations assessed. Findings revealed small but significant associations between (a) conditional use of rewards and decisional procrastination, and between (b) excessive personal control and procrastination linked to avoiding tasks. Results suggest that controlling teacher behaviours might influence students’ psychological experiences in learning negatively. Teachers who do not refrain from constant use of conditional rewards may deffer students’ decision processes regarding their own autonomous academic learning, and excessive personal control may favour students’ perceptions of external regulations, decreasing intrinsic motivation and autonomous self-regulated learning and, thus, making it more likely to engage in alternative activities, procrastinating academic learning.

Abstract:
The climate crisis has received high levels of attention from the public and scholars over the last few decades. While the search for solutions involves strict regulations and innovation in clean energy sources, changing individual behaviours towards sustainability could prevent us from reaching a point of no return. Inarguably, there is a need for strong involvement of the public and private sector organizations, changing individual organizational behaviours towards sustainability might foster a great impact in terms of lowering the effects of the climate crisis. In this context, a democratic pro-environmental behaviour (DPEBs) is introduced to enable green behaviours with individual and voluntary actions within organizations that benefit the preservation and recovery of the environment. Recycling, efficient energy consumption, reduction of meat consumption and sustainable transportation are examples of actionable PEBs that need to be fostered to contribute to the reduction of the human impact on climate change.Nevertheless, the adoption of new behaviours is a complex goal that requires the application of mechanisms to address employee intrinsic and extrinsic democratic motivation. In this vein, gamification, as a process that enhances projects and service with affordances for gameful experiences., might provide a viable alternative. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the extent to which gamification is an effective alternative to promote the adoption of democratic pro-environmental behaviours and contribute to the creation of the relative organization culture. The accepted definition of gamification for this paper is the process of enhancing a service with affordances for gameful experiences in order to support user's overall value creation. This marketing perspective approach, has more focus on the effects obtained as a consequence of activating intrinsic and extrinsic motivation through the use of gamified systems rather than the analysis of the characteristics of the game design elements, and the incentives for its practical and actual adaptation and utilization within organizations.A systematic literature review was conducted in order to exclusively retrieve - after a thorough selection process - case studies that evaluated the psychological and behavioural effects of gamified information technology systems. Psychological outcomes are related to intrinsic motivation; in the case of gamification, positive outcomes are described by gameful experience. These, in turn, are categorized in this work according to the motivational need to which they correspond and their adaptation likeness in a corporate context. On the other hand, behavioural outcomes are related to extrinsic motivation; these are the desired pro-environmental behaviours promoted extrinsically with the use of the gamified application.Fifteen studies were analysed in detail, which overall provided positive results regarding gamification’s capability to engage users by appealing to intrinsic motivation and to effectively promote the adoption of extrinsically motivated PEBs. As a result the paper presents a methodological approach and a process model that integrates democratic organizational culture elements that utilize gamification to achieve employee pro-environmental behaviours that can benefit both the economy and the society. Furthermore the proposed model is linked with the ESG criteria as a further incentive for its organization adaptation from theory to practice. The paper also indicates limitations and areas of further research on the proposed model towards green ocean strategies that can maximize its applications and impact.

Abstract:
Though the on-line learning environments provide scalable and automatic ways to present a content, forums and evaluate the progress of the students, they are still limited in their ability to evaluate complex activities such as correction of essays. Facing this issue, Peer Assessment (PA) offers a powerful solution. However, a major problem found when using PA is the presence of inadequate behaviours from students, which affect the learning and evaluation system. In this sense, this paper proposes a gamified peer assessment model, where the gamification elements improvement the motivational aspect of the students. In the experiments conducted, it was concluded that there were no statistical variations between the grades obtained compared to the experts, the correction time was reduced and the cost involved decreased 72.4%. The gamification encouraged students to use the platform: increased access (+64.28%), essays performed (+10.53%) and essays corrected (+20%).

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Long-term motivation, perceived motivational climate, and leadership style are factors related to the endurance of load, resistance to stress and sports results. The aim of this study was to reveal the relationships between leadership style, motivational climate, and long-term motivation of athletes differentiated by sex, kind of sport, and sports results. The research was done among 101 athletes practicing team sports (70 men, 31 women) with mean age 20.3 years (±5.4). We used the following questionnaires: Leadership Scale for Sport (LSS), Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire-2 (PMCSQ - 2), and the Test for the study of long-term motivation assessing the long-term goals and prospects. The mastery of motivational climate is strengthened by applying democratic behavior (β=.229*) and structuring of team actions through training and instruction (β=.435**). The performance motivational climate is strengthened by using autocratic behavior (β=.426***) and avoiding: democratic behavior (β=-.459**), and giving positive feedback (β=-.236*). Long-term motivation increases with the dominance of the mastery motivational climate (β=.310**) and decreases with the performance motivational climate (β=-.202*). The obtained results give grounds to assume that the coach’s leadership style plays a significant role in shaping the perceived motivational climate, which determines the level of athletes’ long-term motivation.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper discusses the development of a driver model designed to mimic human behavior for any kind of driving situation. A new concept is introduced to model human short term control. It is based on a strict separation of geometric dynamic planning and plan to action mapping. Such a division enables one to model the effects motivation and knowledge independently. Moreover, it facilitates the task of debugging since errors resulting from faulty geometric dynamic planning can be isolated from those that result from lack of knowledge about the system being controlled. This article is thought to give an overview of a driver system that is novel in its structure. This approach establishes vehicle control in a way that is different from traditional linear systems. A method is introduced that allows one to model multiple aspects of motivation and combine them in a sound manner for the task of creating a geometric dynamic plan. Motivations are divided into two classes: target motivations and limit motivations. These kinds of motivation are represented by a method to construct target and limit maps. A discussion about how to combine these maps and find the optimum geometric dynamic plan concludes the discussion about geometric dynamic planning. Plan-to-action mapping designates the process used to find the appropriate physical values by which the driver controls the vehicle, i.e. the front wheel angle velocity and the longitudinal tracking force. This is the point where knowledge about the system must be included. Simulation results show how to distinguish between errors arising from geometric dynamic planning and errors arising from plan-to-action mapping. Finally, results demonstrate the ability of the driver to maintain control over the vehicle system even at the limit of adhesion.

Abstract:
In this note, we leverage data from a nationwide survey conducted in 2019 in Ethiopia to shed light on what Ward Education Officers do, their understanding of their own role, and the constraints they face in executing their responsibilities. We interviewed 397 WEOs responsible for primary schools across 23 districts and six regions of Tanzania as part of a baseline survey conducted between February and May 2019. This note contributes to a growing literature on the activities, self-perceptions, and motivation of public sector officials in charge of “last mile” service delivery. For example, Aiyar and Bhattacharya (2016) use time-use diaries, in-depth interviews, and quantitative data to understand the views, attitudes, and activities of sub-district education sector officials, called block education officers, in India.

Abstract:
In order for the learning process to always retain personal value for the learner, it is necessary that his or her motivation be maintained through an awareness of his or her purpose and goals. This article presents a local model (at the individual object level) of enhancing external motivation, which give to determine students’ efforts to get rewards. The concept of this model based on describing the behavior of agents (in our case students). The characteristics of the phenomenon in the motivation of learning at different stages of adolescent development are analyzed. The problem of computer modeling of educational processes with the help of agent modeling on the example of studying student motivation is considered. Internal and external factors that may strengthen or weaken the adolescent’s motivation to study have been studied. The expediency of using information technologies of agent modeling to study the dynamics of strengthening or weakening student motivation is substantiated. Using the AnyLogic Cloud computing environment the change of dynamics of strengthening of motivation of teenagers on an example of model of strengthening of external motivation is defined.

Full text
Abstract:
This learning paper presents an initial analysis of the emerging research to policy linkages within the Agricultural Policy Research in Africa (APRA) programme of the Future Agricultures Consortium, which is funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). APRA has an innovative monitoring, evaluation and learning approach known as the ‘Accompanied Learning on Relevance and Effectiveness’ (ALRE), which is being delivered by a small team of embedded evaluation specialists. This paper discusses how ALRE has applied the COM-B (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behaviour) (Mayne 2018; Mayne 2016; Michie, van Stralen and West 2011) model of behaviour change to explore the interactions and influencing strategies between researchers and policymakers in the context of agricultural policy research in Africa. These insights have produced the Diamond of Influence, a new ALRE-adapted model, which applies each of the COM-B elements to discuss the different aspects of research to policy processes, drawing on examples of how researchers in each of the APRA focus countries (Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania and Zimbabwe) are engaging in policy spaces.
