Ocean-Based Gastronomic Experience as a Factor of Tourists’ Motivation and Travel Behaviour

ABSTRACT This study empirically examines the impact of local-ocean-based gastronomic experiences on travel motivation and behavior. Drawing on the Theory of Planned Behavior and Functional Attitude Theory, the study constructs an integrated research model to evaluate ocean-based gastronomic experiences as drivers of tourist motivation and behavior. Survey data from 338 tourists were analyzed using Partial-Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to validate the hypothesized research model and hypotheses. The findings highlight the positive effect of travel motivation on tourists’ engagement with gastronomic experiences. Additionally, the study confirms that these gastronomic experiences significantly enhance visitor satisfaction and loyalty. These results offer practical insights for island tourism destinations on strategically designing, marketing, and delivering exceptional local-ocean-based gastronomic experiences. The research contributes to advancing the understanding of local-ocean-based gastronomy and its impact on island tourism, marking a significant step forward in this niche field of tourism study.

The role of coach-athlete relationship on motivation and sports engagement

Background and Study Aim. The relationship between coach and athlete may significantly influence an athlete's experience in sports. Elements such as closeness, commitment, and complementarity are key aspects of this relationship. The current study aimed to examine the association between motivation and athletes' engagement in sports, as mediated by the coach-athlete relationship. Material and Methods. A sample of 408 student-athletes from various universities in Iligan City participated in the study. They completed a set of questionnaires assessing motivation, the coach-athlete relationship, and athlete engagement. The participants were between 18 and 25 years old. The measures used in the study included the Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CARTQ), the Sports Motivation Scale (SMS), and the Athletic Engagement Questionnaire (AEQ). Ethical approval was obtained from all participants. Results. The results showed that coach-athlete relationships were characterized by closeness, commitment, and complementarity. These relationships significantly mediated the link between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and athlete engagement in sports. Strong connections between coaches and athletes enhance the positive effect of motivation on engagement. This occurs by fulfilling athletes' psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Conversely, amotivation was negatively associated with engagement through the dimensions of the coach-athlete relationship. Athletes with high levels of amotivation are more likely to disengage. This highlights the need for coaches to foster a supportive environment that reduces negative motivational states. Conclusions. The evidence supports the utilization of Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to better understand the importance of relationship factors in enhancing motivation. This approach leads to long-term engagement in sports. These results offer a more comprehensive view of the delicate dynamics of the coach-athlete relationship and its consequences for motivation and athletic engagement in sports.

The effect of exercise motivation on college students' self-efficacy: the mediating roles of leisure satisfaction and mental toughness.

The theory of motivation suggests that individual motivation is moderately stimulated to drive individuals to engage in the behaviors for which they are motivated. It is therefore that the moderate stimulation of exercise motivation will likely lead to the enhancement of college students' participation in exercise. Investigate the effect of exercise motivation on college students' self-efficacy, reveal the mediating role of leisure satisfaction and mental toughness, and provide empirical evidence improving college students' self-efficacy through exercise motivation. A stratified whole-sample approach was employed to survey 715 college students, based on a correlation table with good reliability and validity. Scale items were designed to collect subjects' exercise motivation, self-efficacy, leisure satisfaction, and mental toughness in the study context. Mediation effect analyses were carried out using SPSS and AMOS. A significant positive effect of exercise motivation on self-efficacy (β = 0.18, p < 0.001), leisure satisfaction (β = 0.50, p < 0.001), and mental toughness (β = 0.45, p < 0.001). Leisure satisfaction and mental toughness had a significant positive effect on self-efficacy (β = 0.40, p < 0.001; β = 0.30, p < 0.001).

The differential influence of Achievement Motivation on Subjective Well-being and the moderating role of Self-control.

To investigate the association between achievement motivation and subjective well-being, as well as the moderating role of self-control and self-management on this relationship, 1017 Chinese college students were surveyed. The main results showed that: The interactive effect of motivation to approach success and self-control on subjective well-being was significant. Specifically, for individuals with high self-control ability, the positive effects of motivation to approach success on subjective well-being, life satisfaction and positive affect tended to be stronger, and meanwhile, the motivation to approach success negatively predicted negative affect. Furthermore, the interactive effect of motivation to avoid failure and self-control on subjective well-being was significant. Specifically, for individuals with high self-control ability, the negative effects of motivation to avoid failure on subjective well-being, life satisfaction and positive affect tended to be weaker, and meanwhile, the effect of motivation to avoid failure on negative affect was relatively weaker. Overall, our study indicated that improving self-control ability could maximize the positive effect of achievement motivation on subjective well-being. Moreover, motivating individuals with high self-control ability to pursue success and reducing motivation to avoid failure for individuals with low self-control ability could have a more positive influence on subjective well-being.

Student-Perceived Supervisor Motivation and Grade Pressure as Predictors of German Psychology Students’ Thesis Motivation

Writing a final thesis is an important step for many students. Many thesis programs in research-oriented fields are structured as projects in which there is a one-to-one working relationship with a supervisor. In addition, the thesis’ final grade is often perceived as particularly important. This research uses a cross-sectional survey design ( N = 217) to assess student-perceived supervisor motivation and experienced grade pressure as predictors of student motivation when writing their thesis. Derived from expectancy-value models, valence, expectancy, and instrumentality towards achieving a good thesis grade as well as stress from the thesis work are assessed as mediating variables. The results indicate that, as hypothesized, high student-perceived supervisor motivation is associated with higher motivation components and less stress. Grade pressure is associated with higher valence, but also more stress. In turn, motivational components are positively and stress negatively associated with student motivation. The mediation analysis suggests a partially mediated positive effect of student-perceived supervisor motivation and a suppressed net zero effect of grade pressure on student motivation. Although this research cannot establish causality, the results suggest that motivating supervisors may improve student motivation in thesis writing significantly. Furthermore, the negative effects of high grade pressure may not extend to student motivation.

Impact of Attentional Focus on Dance Performance: A Critically Appraised Topic.

Dancing is a demanding esthetic activity with dancers having an 85% annual injury incident rate when performing complex dance motor skills. Teachers and clinicians use a combination of external and internal attentional cues when teaching dancers motor skills and when working on rehabilitation programs with injured dancers, respectively. External attentional focus (ie,focusing on movement outcome) reportedly results in superior performance than internal attentional focus (ie,focus on body movements). Interestingly, dancers reportedly often adopt an internal focus when dancing. Still, limited literature exists examining the effects of attentional focus on dancers' performance. How does attentional focus (external or internal) impact performance in dancers? Four original quasi-experimental studies met inclusion criteria. In the current examination, we found mixed results about the impact of attentional focus in dancers. Specifically, using an external attentional focus resulted in better performance in 2 studies, but these findings were limited to lesser experienced dancers. Experienced dancers did not have any physical performance differences when using external or internal focus. Internal focus also did not negatively affect dancers' performance in 2 studies. Some authors noted positive motivational effects (eg,increased perceived competence) when dancers used external focus. Low-quality evidence exists supporting the notion that in less experienced dance students, external focus improves performance. In experienced dancers, the type of attentional focus did not impact performance. External focus provides positive mental effects. Thus, clinicians working with dancers can integrate individualized feedback according to dancer level, with a preference toward external focus due to positive mental effects, to design optimal training and rehabilitation programs. Grade B evidence exists supporting the notion that an external attentional focus improves performance in less experienced dance students and also has positive mental effects. Internal attentional focus does not impede experienced dancers' performance.

A moderated mediation analysis on the relationship between metacognition and mathematical resilience of gifted students

AbstractThis study examined the mediator role of mathematics motivation and the moderator role of mathematics anxiety (MA) in the relationship between metacognition (MC) and mathematical resilience (MR). The participants are 202 gifted students. Data were collected through the “Metacognitive Awareness Scale,” “MR Scale,” “Revised MA Rating Scale,” and “Mathematics Motivation Scale.” Regression analysis based on the bootstrap technique was used to test the hypothetical model, including mediation, moderation, and moderated mediation relations. The study results showed that MC indirectly positively affects MR through mathematical motivation. MA has a moderator effect on the positive effect of mathematics motivation on MR. The positive effect of mathematics motivation on MR decreases as MA increases. MA has a moderating effect on the indirect effect of MC on MR through mathematics motivation. The positive effect of MC on MR decreases as math anxiety increases.
