Item type:Publication, Context matters: teaching styles and basic psychological needs predicting flourishing and perfectionism in university music students(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021-03-02)Professional musicians are expected to perform at a very high level of proficiency. Many times, this high standard is associated with perfectionism, which has been shown to prompt both adaptive and maladaptive motivational dynamics and outcomes among music students. The question about how perfectionism interplays with motivational dynamics in music students is still unanswered and research within this line is scarce, especially in Latin America. In the light of Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between the perceptions of motivational context (teachers' motivating styles: autonomy supportive or controlling), basic psychological needs (satisfaction/frustration), perfectionism (adaptive/maladaptive), and flourishing in University music students from Lima, Peru (N = 149; mean age = 20.68, SD = 3.03; 71% men). We performed a path analysis testing a model in which motivational teaching styles predicted both, perfectionism and flourishing via need satisfaction and frustration. The model's fit indices were ideal [χ2 (7, N = 143) = 7.48, p = 0.300, CFI = 0.998, TLI = 0.992, RMSEA = 0.021, SRMR =0.040]. In this model, perceived autonomy supportive style predicted need satisfaction positively and need frustration negatively; perceived controlling teaching style did not predict need satisfaction nor frustration. In turn, need satisfaction positively predicted adaptive perfectionism (i.e., high standards) and flourishing; whereas, need frustration predicted maladaptive perfectionism (i.e., discrepancy). These results shed light on the relevance of perfectionism in the psychology of higher music education students. Lastly, we highlight the importance of autonomy support in fostering adaptive high standards and flourishing in music learning. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Cognitive-individual and social-interpersonal protective factors: dual safeguards against dropout intentions in Peru(Taylor & Francis, 2025-01-01)University attrition is a multicausal phenomenon that calls for an examination of sociodemographic, institutional, academic and psychological factors. In Peru, regional disparities, the unregulated expansion of universities and high rates of dropout have raised concerns about the considerable loss of valuable human resources. This study adopts a quantitative approach to identify the role of social-interpersonal factors (social skills and social support), as mediated by cognitive-individual ones (goal efficacy and planning), in the development of dropout intentions among university students. The sample included 536 students from eight universities, both public and private, in three regions of Peru. Findings show that students with higher levels of social support and social skills are less likely to develop dropout intentions, particularly when these factors are mediated by goal efficacy and planning. Differences were observed based on sex and region. It is concluded that social-interpersonal factors are strong mitigators of dropout intentions, especially if mediated by cognitive-individual factors. Identifying these underlying psychological factors can help university leaders design multidimensional strategies for student retention. This study will contribute to support public policies and further interventions oriented to reduce the loss of highly educated individuals who could positively transform Peruvian society.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Beyond words: the relevance of autonomy-supportive language in university syllabi(Frontiers Media, 2025-01-01)Introduction: University syllabi are a semester-long working tool through which professors present a thematic content program, precise assessment mechanisms, and establish the activities schedule, among other tasks. Teachers can promote high-quality motivation among students through syllabi. The goal of this research was to replicate a previous study on the impact of syllabus language on student motivation. Methods: Two studies were conducted. Study 1 aimed to examine, in 126 first- and second-year students in Humanities General Studies, how they perceive a syllabus with an autonomy-supportive "tone" vs. one with a controlling language. Study 2 explored, in 261 students, basic psychological needs (BPN) satisfaction and their affective approach to the course. Additionally, it investigated the type of motivation (autonomous vs. controlled) that students prioritize when selecting the course. Results: Findings from Study 1 suggest that autonomy-supportive syllabi are perceived as more attractive, fair, and respectful from the student's perspective. Results from Study 2 indicate that autonomy-supportive syllabi are related to a better perception of the course, greater BPN satisfaction, and autonomous motivation from students, increasing the probability of them choosing that subject. Discussion: It is concluded that promoting autonomy, even through the written language shared between teachers and students, is important for improving teaching quality.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A potential exodus: what is behind dropping out intentions among university students?(Frontiers Media, 2025-01-03)Introduction The alarming dropout rates among university students in Peru deplete the country's human resources and reduce prospects for personal growth and societal development. Explaining those rates calls for a comprehensive and holistic approach beyond the students' socio-economic characteristics. This study seeks to identify the socio-demographic, academic and psychological variables that predict dropout intention among university students in Peru. Materials and method The sample was composed of 768 students from nine universities, both public and private, across the coastal, highland and rainforest regions of Peru. Students completed questionnaires assessing factors that favor resilience, future orientation, and dropout intention. Results As hypothesized, we found that students who scored higher on factors favoring resilience and future orientation subscales, with the exception of the exploration sub-dimension, were less likely to develop dropout intentions. We found differences by sex and type of university; then evaluated whether the model parameters varied by sex. Our findings show higher dropout intentions among male students. No significant relationships were found between grades, tutoring programme and future orientation. Discussion Results contribute to support these university students as valuable human resources who, due to Peru's characteristics, lack easy access to higher education and should be protected. Our findings also provide general guidelines for further interventions to counter the risk of increased dropout rates at the university level.5
