One size fits all?

Het hbo kampt met gering studiesucces van studenten in termen van studievoortgang, uitval en gepercipieerde competentie. Welke maatregelen kan het hbo nemen? Deze bijdrage, gebaseerd op het proefschrift ‘One size fits all?’, gaat over leerpsychologische factoren en interactionalistische factoren waaruit studiesucces in het eerste jaar hbo kan worden verklaard. Het proefschrift laat zien hoe vele variabelen samenhangen met studiesucces. Met behulp van lineair structurele modellen doet de auteur voorzichtige uitspraken over de effecten die factoren op elkaar en op studiesucces (uitval, studievoortgang en gepercipieerde competentie) hebben. Van de leerpsychologische factoren hadden zelfvertrouwen en motivatie-aspecten (intrinsieke motivatie en procrastinatie) de sterkste samenhang met studiesucces. Vanuit interactionalistisch perspectief was intentie om te blijven de meest cruciale factor. De samenhangen met studiesucces van andere factoren uit beide benaderingen waren gering (diepgaand leren) of fluctueerden sterk per model en per groep (zelfregulatie, self-efficacy; sociale en academische integratie tevredenheid met actief leren en academische kennis en vaardigheden, contacturen, zelfstudie). Vele factoren spelen een rol, die bovendien naar achtergrondkenmerken (geslacht, vooropleiding, etniciteit, discipline) verschillend met elkaar samenhangen. Ook hebben verschillende factoren niet dezelfde, maar eerder tegenstrijdige effecten op concurrerende leeruitkomsten, zoals het behalen van credits en het verwerven van competentie. Het resultaat is niet een kookboek met pasklare recepten voor het oplossen van het rendementsprobleem. Voor de onderwijspraktijk (instellingen, opleidingen, docenten) zijn dat belangrijke inzichten waarmee meer gedaan kan worden. Meer onderzoek blijft gewenst naar de interactie tussen factoren uit verschillende verklaringsmodellen en -theorieën naar de effecten van rendementsmaatregelen.

Manifesto for the future of work and organizational psychology

This manifesto presents 10 recommendations for a sustainable future for the field of Work and Organizational Psychology. The manifesto is the result of an emerging movement around the Future of WOP (see www.futureofwop.com), which aims to bring together WOP-scholars committed to actively contribute to building a better future for our field. Our recommendations are intended to support both individuals and collectives to become actively engaged in co-creating the future of WOP together with us. Therefore, this manifesto is open and never “finished.” It should continuously evolve, based on an ongoing debate around our professional values and behavior. This manifesto is meant, first of all, for ourselves as an academic community. Furthermore, it is also important for managers, decision makers, and other stakeholders and interested parties, such as students, governments and organizations, as we envision what the future of WOP could look like, and it is only through our collective efforts that we will be able to realize a sustainable future for all of us.

Assessing competence in sport psychology

Competent practice in sport psychology is of utmost importance for the professional status of the field, and hence proper assessment of competence for sport psychology practice is needed. We describe three cycles of action research to improve the assessment of competence in a sport psychology education program. The cycles were directed at (a) empowering supervisors in their assessing role, (b) improving the assessment checklist, and (c) investigating an alternative assessment method. Although challenges remain (e.g., improve the still low interrater reliability), the action research has contributed to an improved quality and higher acceptability of the assessment in the education program.

Professional development in sport psychology

To enhance the training of sport psychology consultants, it is important to know which learning experiences are useful for which components of professional development. We interviewed 15 novice consultants on their learning experiences related to 13 different topics. Traditional learning experiences (e.g., courses, teachers) were related to the development of practical know-how. Learning from others (e.g., peers, colleagues) was related to professional development (i.e., dealing with issues, challenges, and dilemmas that occur in sport psychology practice). Practical experience and reflective activities were related to both know-how and professional development. These results can be used to shape effective sport psychology education.

Applied psychology Part 4 Like a virgin

Original sin is only a poor stimulator of behaviour change. It's easy to understand that it seems rather unfair to blame a new-born for the major problems that humanity faces after several centuries of technological progress. That also applies to all those natural peoples, who lived in harmony with their environment, where the concept of Earth Overshoot Day did not apply at all. In this article it is argued that insights from applied psychology can help to pay off the debts in terms of behavioral change.

Travel psychology (in Persian)

The section - Travel Psychology - contains 3 chapters. Chapter 1 starts by listing different types of travel constraints facing all citizens. For travelers who negotiate their travel constraints and are able to travel, two seminal models for tourism motivations are reviewed. First, the pull and push factors are mentioned along with examples. In a second model, travel motivations are categorized into traveling to gain something and, travelling to get away from something.After reviewing various travel constraints and motivations, Chapter 1 continues by discussing how travelers’ mood and tendencies at any given time could affect the type of travel destination they pursue – historical vs. natural vs. manmade; warm vs. cold; urban vs. country; crowded vs. quiet; familiar vs. novel vs arousing; and, the type of experiences and activities travelers pursue on their vacation. Also, the relationship between less dynamic personality traits and travel decision-makings are discussed: who to travel with, where to stay, what to do; perceived risks; and information seeking behavior. Chapter 1 ends by discussing how travel service providers could play a significant role in helping customers make more informed and authentic decisions that would eventually feed their psychological needs, wants, and wellbeing. This wellbeing perspective to travel is contrasted with a service quality and money-driven perspective in tourism industry and research. Chapter 2 starts by reviewing the fundamentals of the science of positive psychology, defining wellbeing, happiness, and quality of life, and how tourism could be accounted as one element linked to all the above. A page is dedicated to memorable tourism experiences and its different dimensions such as hedonic and eudaimonic experiences, and how some of these memorable experiences positively impact travelers’ subjective wellbeing. In the core of chapter 2, travelers’ diverse needs are discussed under: (a) physiological needs such as quality and attractive local food and drinks, physical activity, and adequate sleep on vacations; (b) mental needs including topics such as expressing emotions before, during, and after vacation, causes and fluctuations of emotions; mood regulations on vacations; mindfulness; technology use; stress recovery mechanisms during vacations namely relaxation, detachment, control, mastery; and optimal challenge and flow states for individuals and group of travelers; (c) interpersonal needs of the traveler including interaction with host community, service providers, and other travelers, e.g., joint experiences of romantic partners and family members. Throughout chapter 2, how service providers and experience designers could more effectively monitor, identify, and address these physiological, mental, and social needs are thoroughly discussed. Moreover, evidence and research-based travel tips are offered to general travelers for observing, attending to, appreciating, and enhancing positive emotions during the anticipation phase of a vacation, during the actual trip, on the way home, and up to two weeks post-vacation. A small section at the end of Chapter 2 is devoted to the psychology of holidays and staycations for employees with stressful jobs. Chapter 3 discusses how small occasions during vacations can accumulate and sometimes have long-term psychological effects on travelers. This chapter reviews the psychological of souvenirs, savoring, and photography on vacations. It continues by talking about the concepts of self-awareness, learning, growth, meaning and transformation, related to vacations, using examples. Chapter 3 ends by encouraging travel planners and designers to invest in long-term benefits of vacations.This handbook contains a total of 42 chapters on a range of topics aimed at educating employees at tourism service providers in Iran. This book is in press and distribution, and will be the official source for the national exam for the national travel agency certification in Iran. Topics of this book include the following: tour design and operations, travel psychology, air travel, tour marketing, human resource management, accounting, travel technology, travel start-ups, strategic management, and ethics.

Give and Take, the applied psychology of reciprocity (1)

This is the first of a series of four articles on psychological foundations from an applied psychological perspective. To begin with, the psychology of give and take, which is contradictory in its application, like many basic psychological mechanisms: sometimes emphasized, sometimes denied. In this first article it is argued that humans are equipped with a psychological reciprocity mechanism that constantly judges whether give and take in the social group we belong to is in balance (reciprocal altruism: favour others at their own expense, because it is later repaid). On the other hand, sometimes it is necessary to hide inequalities in give and take, especially in a complex hierarchical society.

Robots, Neurodevelopmental Disorders, and Psychology: a Bibliometric Analysis and a Case Made for Robopsychology

Research work on robots in the context of neurodevelopmental disorders and psychology has traditionally been developed by researchers with a background primarily in engineering and computer science. As psychology is getting ready to play a more prominent role, there is a chance to apply specific psychological theory and methods. Such application may be facilitated by the establishment of a relevant scientific infrastructure, such as through a specialist journal on robopsychology.
