Quality of the Physical Education Teacher's Instruction in the Perspective of Self-Determination.

The teacher's instructions in physical education class have important implications for the psychological well-being of their students. The aim of this study was to analyze, under the postulates of the Self-Determination Theory (SDT), a model with the following sequence: the perception of the quality of the instructions (task presentation, amount of corrective feedback, and its legitimate perception) generated by the physical education teacher, the satisfaction of the three basic psychological needs and the subjective vitality in young students. The participants were 890 students (462 males and 428 females) of primary level from the metropolitan area of Monterrey, Mexico, between ages 11 and 13 (M = 11.36; SD = 0.49). The structural equation modeling showed positive and significant associations in all model interrelations, that is, task presentation and the amount of corrective feedback (B = 0.88, p < 0.001), and this in turn with legitimate perception (B = 0.81, p < 0.001); the legitimate perception of feedback and the satisfaction of the need for autonomy, competence, and relatedness (B = 0.63, p < 0.001; B = 0.90, p < 0.001; B = 1.01, p < 0.001, respectively); finally, the satisfaction of the three psychological needs and the subjective vitality (B = 0.12, p < 0.01; B = 0.43, p < 0.001; B = 0.24, p < 0.001, respectively). Therefore, the importance of a quality task presentation, as well as providing corrective feedback based on support for autonomy, is evident, so that students perceive it legitimately and thus facilitate the satisfaction of their basic psychological needs and in consequence, indicators of psychological well-being such as subjective vitality.

Coaches' Corrective Feedback, Psychological Needs, and Subjective Vitality in Mexican Soccer Players.

In the sport context, an essential aspect of an athlete's development and performance happens during the interaction with the coach while receiving information on the aspects of performance that need to be modified (corrective feedback). Grounded in the Self-Determination Theory and particularly on the basic psychological needs theory, a structural equation model (SEM) was tested with the following sequence: perception of the amount of corrective feedback generated by the coach, perceived legitimacy of corrective feedback, satisfaction of basic psychological needs, and vitality in soccer players. Additionally, simple mediation and serial (double) mediation models were also tested. Participants were 377 Mexican soccer players (Maged = 16.46, SD = 1.08), who completed the instruments that evaluated the study variables. SEM results reported positive and significant variables' interrelations in the sequence. The analysis of serial mediation model showed that the perceived legitimacy of feedback and the satisfaction of basic psychological needs fully mediated the relationship between the perception of the amount of corrective feedback generated by the coach and the perception of the subjective vitality of Mexican soccer players. Results suggest that coaches have to ensure that athletes accept the corrective feedback provided and meet their basic psychological needs. Based on SDT tenets, this research highlights the importance for coaches to be aware of the athlete's perceptions when they are providing corrective feedback and their implications for athlete's technical development and well-being. It is suggested to incorporate those aspects to training programs for coaches.

Examining the Relationship between Selfrumination and Happiness: The Mediating and Moderating Role of Subjective Vitality

The basic purpose of this study is to examine the mediating and moderating role of subjective vitality in relationship between rumination and subjective happiness. The participants were 420 university students. In this research, the Self-rumination Scale-SRS, the Subjective Vitality Scale and the Short Form of Oxford Happiness Questionnaire were used. The relationships between rumination, subjective vitality, and happiness were examined using correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. In correlation analysis, happiness and subjective vitality were found negatively related to self-rumination. On the other hand, happiness had positive relation with subjective vitality. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that rumination levels in a decrease of subjective vitality on an unhappy person whereas enhances in subjective vitality leads to happiness; however, rumination also produces unhappiness. Results were debated in the light of the related literature.

Traducción y validación de la Subjective Vitality Scale en una muestra de practicantes de ejercicio portugueses / Translation and Validation of the Subjective Vitality Scale in a Portuguese Sample of Exercise Participants

El concepto de vitalidad subjetiva se refiere a la sensación de estar "vivo" y "alerta"; es decir, de tener energía disponible para sí mismo, reflejando una experiencia psicológica de entusiasmo e inspiración. El propósito de esta investigación fue traducir y analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión Portuguesa de la Subjective Vitality Scale, en una muestra de 935 practicantes de ejercicio, ambos hombres (344) y mujeres (591). Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio confirmaron la estructura unifactorial de la escala (S-B χ² = 34.93; p = .000; χ²/gl = 3.88; NNFI = .961; CFI = .970; RMSEA = .074 con 90% CI = .049 - .101). Asimismo, se obtuvieron resultados que evidenciaron validez concurrente con las versiones portuguesas de la Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale y de la Satisfaction with Life Scale. Del mismo modo, se documentan evidencias de fiabilidad, analizada como consistencia interna y estabilidad temporal. Los resultados apoyan preliminarmente el uso de la versión portuguesa de la Subjective Vitality Scale en el contexto del ejercicio.

The concept of subjective vitality refers to the state of feeling alive and alert; to have energy available to oneself. The aim of the present study was to translate and analyze the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Subjective Vitality Scale in a sample of 935 exercisers, both men (344) and women (591). The results of the confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the good adjustment of the original factorial model (S-B χ² = 34.93; p = .000; χ²/gl = 3.88; NNFI = .961; CFI = .970; RMSEA = .074 con 90% CI =.049-.101). Also, concurrent validity was obtained through the application of the Portuguese versions of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Satisfaction with Life Scale. In the same way, reliability of the scale throughout the analysis of internal and temporary consistency was also demonstrated. The present findings support the use of the Portuguese version of the Subjective Vitality Scale to assess vitality among Portuguese exercisers.
