Abstract

We tested whether a self-support approach to satisfy basic psychological needs to increase students' basic need satisfaction, mindfulness, and subjective vitality, and decrease their need frustration, coronavirus, and test anxiety during the novel coronavirus and university final exams. Three hundred and thirty students (M _age = 21.45, SD = 2.66) participated in this 6-day long experimental study and they were randomly allocated to either experimental (self-support approach, n = 176) or control (no-intervention) condition. Students completed the targeted questionnaires at the beginning (first day of the university final exams, Time 1) middle (3 days after the beginning of the study, Time 2), and the end of study (6 days after the beginning of the study, Time 3). Compared to students in the control condition, students in the experimental condition reported higher need satisfaction, mindfulness, subjective vitality, and lower need frustration, coronavirus, and test anxiety. Through a path analysis, the experimental condition predicted positively students higher need satisfaction, which in turn, predicted their higher subjective vitality, and lower coronavirus and test anxiety at Time 3. Results highlighted the importance of a self-support approach on students' outcomes during difficult situations, that have implications for theory and practice.

在困难情况下满足基本心理需求的自我支持方法。

在新型冠状病毒和大学期末考试期间，我们测试了自我支持方式满足基本心理需求是否能提高学生的基本需求满意度、正念和主观活力，减少学生的需求挫败感、冠状病毒和考试焦虑。330名学生(M年龄= 21.45,SD = 2.66)参加了为期6天的实验研究，他们被随机分为实验组(n = 176)和对照组(无干预)。学生在开始阶段(大学期末考试的第一天，时间1)、中间阶段(研究开始后3天，时间2)和结束阶段(研究开始后6天，时间3)完成了目标问卷。与对照组相比，实验阶段的学生需求满意度、正念、主观活力更高，需求挫败感、冠状病毒和考试焦虑更低。通过通径分析，实验条件正向预测学生更高的需求满意度，进而预测学生在时间3时更高的主观活力，更低的冠状病毒和考试焦虑。结果强调了在困难情况下自我支持方法对学生成绩的重要性，这对理论和实践都有意义。

期刊介绍： Motivation and Emotion publishes articles on human motivational and emotional phenomena that make theoretical advances by linking empirical findings to underlying processes. Submissions should focus on key problems in motivation and emotion, and, if using non-human participants, should contribute to theories concerning human behavior. Articles should be explanatory rather than merely descriptive, providing the data necessary to understand the origins of motivation and emotion, to explicate why, how, and under what conditions motivational and emotional states change, and to document that these processes are important to human functioning.A range of methodological approaches are welcome, with methodological rigor as the key criterion. Manuscripts that rely exclusively on self-report data are appropriate, but published articles tend to be those that rely on objective measures (e.g., behavioral observations, psychophysiological responses, reaction times, brain activity, and performance or achievement indicators) either singly or combination with self-report data.The journal generally does not publish scale development and validation articles. However, it is open to articles that focus on the post-validation contribution that a new measure can make. Scale development and validation work therefore may be submitted if it is used as a necessary prerequisite to follow-up studies that demonstrate the importance of the new scale in making a theoretical advance.
