“…The distances of the points from the origin are not considered, and the researcher is interested in the relative positions of the items on the same continuum (circle) or surface (sphere). Homogeneous groups of items/stimuli can become apparent on the circular continuum or spherical surface which are formed by items on the same or neighboring points [29,30,31,46,47,52,53,54,55]. The homogeneous groups are interpreted according to the properties of the items belonging to them.…”

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the correlation between the undergraduate programs (Higher Education) offered by Departments of Physical Education and Sport Science (DPESS) and the Physical Education (PE) curriculum followed in Greek Primary (years 6-12) school and Middle (years 13-15) school. Specifically, we aimed to investigate whether the perspective PE teachers were adequately prepared to teach (after their graduation) the thirteen (13) main athletic subjects of the PE school curriculum. Fifteen (15) criteria were developed, in order to evaluate whether the athletic subjects offered by the departments, as described within their annual undergraduate catalogs, adequately prepare their graduates to teach PE in Primary and Middle school. Useful conclusions were drawn concerning: a) the mean values of the fifteen criteria, b) the Trigonometrically transformation of the Multidimensional Scaling solutions (MDS-T), which eventually included thirteen of the fifteen criteria, and c) other selected criteria of the fifteen criteria-based matrix.

“…In her approach, Lawrence (2006) wanted to show that although both types of triggers elicit aggressive reactions, there are individual differences in response to these situational triggers (some might be more sensitive to provocations and others to frustration). Although SP and SF are intercorrelated, studies show that they are separate constructs, and the factorial structure of the Situational Triggers of Aggressive Responses scale measuring those constructs has been confirmed in five countries (Mylonas, Lawrence, Zajenkowska, & Russa, 2017). SP and SF have different personality correlations, with SF correlating with lower self-concept clarity, and SP with higher levels of narcissism (Lawrence, 2006).…”

Studies have shown that both expressing uncontrolled anger and suppressing anger are related to depression. Taking the latter into consideration, we explored another possible mechanism that could be used to predict the level of depression -the consistency between desired and undertaken behavior. In Study 1 (N = 270) we tested whether depressive symptoms are related to emotional reactions in provoking or frustrating situations. The results revealed that higher levels of sensitivity to provocations and to frustrations contributed to higher levels of depression. In Study 2 (N = 195) we applied quantitative and qualitative analyses to test whether the severity of depressive symptoms could be predicted by the consistency of what people desire to do and how they actually act, when exposed to frustrating and provocative situations. The results showed that higher perceived consistency was related to lower levels of depression. The results are discussed in terms of the psychodynamic theory.

“…A Consideration of Alternative Correlation Coefficients One of the most important aims of the current study was to describe the factorial structure for the Greek population and to test the initial theoretical structure as proposed by Lawrence (2006) and as shown in cross-cultural studies (Mylonas et al, 2017;Zajenkowska et al, 2014). Of particular note, the approach used for the two studies reported in Mylonas et al (2017) employed an alternative approach to the correlation tables analyzed.…”

Aggressive traits and situational factors interact to influence the propensity for aggressive behavior. Individuals’ sensitivity to the situational factors' provocation and frustration are assessed by the Situational Triggers of Aggressive Responses (STAR) scale subscales sensitivity to provocation (SP) and sensitivity to frustration (SF). The aims of this paper were to (1) briefly summarize the basic theory supporting the STAR scale, (2) review previous cross-cultural findings for these STAR constructs, (3) discuss the Greek factorial structure and its cross-cultural validity, (4) describe the methodological-statistical and psychometric properties for a Greek normative sample ( N = 1,094), and (5) provide Greek norms and other application aspects regarding the STAR scale. The aforementioned are discussed in the context of both a broader methodological-statistical scope and an applied scope. Finally, and with respect to psychological intervention, a method that can be applied to any sample, independently of the existence of norms, is discussed, for multivariately identifying extreme SP and SF cases (outliers).
