Actividad física, autoconcepto físico y bienestar psicológico en estudiantes universitarias mexicanas

El objetivo principal del presente estudio fue examinar el efecto de la práctica regular de actividad física y el autoconcepto físico sobre la percepción de bienestar psicológico en estudiantes universitarias mexicanas mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Un total de 532 mujeres universitarias mexicanas de 18-26 años de edad cumplimentaron el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física, el Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Físico Modificado y las Escalas de Bienestar Psicológico. Los resultados del modelo de ecuaciones estructurales mostraron que la práctica de actividad física, a través de la competencia motora atractivo físico, tiene un efecto indirecto positivo sobre la percepción de bienestar psicológico en la dimensión de autoaceptación y ésta a su vez ejerce un efecto directo positivo sobre el crecimiento personal. El modelo propuesto obtiene un ajuste satisfactorio, explicando el 43% de la varianza en la percepción de bienestar psicológico en la dimensión de crecimiento personal (variable criterio).The main purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of regular physical activity and physical self-concept on the perception of psychological well-being in women Mexican university students using structural equation modeling. A total of 532 women Mexican university students aged 18-26 years old completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Modified Questionnaire of Physical Self concept and Psychological Well-Being Scales. The results of the structural equation modeling showed that the practice of physical activity, through motor competency-physical attractiveness, has an indirect positive effect on the perception of psychological well-being in the dimension of self-acceptance and this in turn has a direct positive effect on personal growth. The proposed model obtains a satisfactory fit, accounting for 43% of the variance in perception of psychological well-being in the dimension of personal growth (variable criteria).O objetivo principal do presente estudo foi examinar o efeito da prática regular de atividade física e o autoconceito físico sobre a perceção de bem-estar psicológico em estudantes universitárias mexicanas mediante um modelo de equaciones estruturais.

Individualism, Competitiveness, and Fear of Negative Evaluation in Pre-adolescents: Does the Teacher’s Controlling Style Matter?

The traditional teaching style in which the teacher is in control and there is a submissive attitude in students is predominant in Mexico. The development of identity in preadolescence is subjected to social groups, which could develop interpersonal difficulties through the controlling teaching style. Although the fear of negative evaluation in students and competitive sport has been studied in education, relatively little research has been done in the area of physical education in relation to the controlling style. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation and predictive relationship between controlling teaching and the fear of negative evaluation mediated by the frustration of the basic psychological needs (BPN), controlled motivation, and individualism/competitiveness through the theoretical framework of self-determination theory. Participants were 1132 students in the fifth and sixth grades in public elementary schools in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, with ages between 10 and 13 (M = 10.51 years; SD = 0.66 years). Results indicate the perceived controlling teaching style positively predicted the fear of negative evaluation in students of this study through BPN frustration, that is positively related to low-quality motivation, which is related to a higher level of individualism/competitiveness. This, in turn, is proven to be a predictor of the fear of negative evaluation. The results also discuss the promotion of the autonomy support style, avoiding the controlling teaching style, for the minimization of negative results related to the perception of fear and the development of student well-being both within and beyond the school context

Analysis of the Degree of Satisfaction with Life before and during the COVID-19 Pandemic in University Teachers

The objective of this work was to analyze the degree of satisfaction with the life of university teachers before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, this in the context of social isolation. The present study adopts a quantitative and cross-sectional approach, the sample is extended randomly, made up of 129 university teachers from the Faculty of Physical Culture Sciences of the Autonomous University of Chihuahua, aged between 18 and 74 years. To measure the degree of teacher satisfaction, the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) was obtained (Atienza et al., 2000; Diener et al., 1985; Pons et al., 2002). The results globally showed significant differences between life satisfaction before and during the pandemic according to the means comparison test, using the T test for related samples, with values ​​of 4.06 before and 3.6 during the pandemic. When carrying out the categorization of the results according to the escalation, it was shown that 55.7% of the teachers perceived themselves satisfied before the pandemic, the opposite happening during the isolation, decreasing, only 45.5% feeling satisfied. Only 27% felt very satisfied before and this percentage decreased to only 14.5% during isolation. The Covid-19 not only wreaked havoc on health, but also negative effects on people's psychological, emotional and social spheres, thus modifying healthy lifestyles and leaving possible effects on physical and mental health as a consequence
