“…First, the fit of PsyCap with external demands determines one’s stress response (Hobfoll, 2001). It is a self-regulatory process to use resources to cope with ecological risks (Molden, Hui, & Scholer, 2016). Adolescents with high (vs. low) PsyCap have more resources to cope with risks and are, thus, less likely to be adversely affected by CR.…”

“…Nonetheless, adolescents, even those with high PsyCap, are challenged by the simultaneous negative effects of CR on anxiety/depression and life satisfaction. A motivated effort-allocation model of self-regulation failure posits that engaging in a series of self-regulatory tasks exhausts people’s resources, and the fatigue accompanying self-regulation makes them feel that their resources are depleted and they have to conserve their mental energy for later use to ensure an optimal distribution of effort overall (Molden et al., 2016). Owing to severe depletion, people have demonstrated a lack of sustained self-regulation after performing a series of self-regulation tasks (Vohs, Baumeister, & Schmeichel, 2012).…”

“…anxiety/depression, life satisfaction) should differ between middle- and high-school students. Depending on their capacity for self-control, the mechanisms involved in people’s continued regulation – disengagement/engagement in further self-regulation – can differ (Molden et al., 2016). People with high (vs. low) self-control possess increased forethought and tend to be more deliberate in their actions (Wills, Walker, Mendoza, & Ainette, 2006).…”

“…Those with high PsyCap adopt effort-oriented coping characterised by strong determination to succeed when confronted with obstacles (Luthans et al., 2007) and are likely to engage in a series of regulatory tasks, such as decreasing anxiety/depression and increasing life satisfaction. If sustained self-regulation exhausts their resources and the experience of fatigue leads to disincentives (Molden et al., 2016), resilience might exact a toll through the demands imposed by adapting well under conditions of considerable risk (Brody et al., 2013). This would be evidenced by a cost of resilience in the stress process (i.e.…”

The current study examined the associations among cumulative risk, psychological capital and adolescents’ anxiety/depression and life satisfaction. Chinese adolescents ( N = 1473, grades 7 to 12, ages 12 to 18, 52.1% female) completed self-report cumulative risk, psychological capital, anxiety/depressive symptoms and life satisfaction questionnaires. Cumulative risk was associated with anxiety/depression and life satisfaction. Psychological capital demonstrated a compensatory effect on youth adjustment. Furthermore, a cost of resilience was observed in high-school students with high psychological capital, who showed compromised life satisfaction in conjunction with reduced anxiety/depression under circumstances of severe adversity. Psychological capital also buffered the impact of cumulative risk on anxiety/depressive symptoms in middle-school students; however, it did not moderate the relationship between cumulative risk and life satisfaction. Therefore, psychological capital cannot protect adolescents exposed to cumulative risk from the exacerbation of psychopathology and declining life satisfaction simultaneously, and a ‘toll’ exists as a byproduct of resilience in high-school students. Suggestions for school health practices were provided accordingly.

“…En relación con esta idea, otros autores han mostrado que, contrariamente a lo que se suele pensar, el hecho de que una persona esté sometida a una tarea exigente puede reducir la atracción que ejerce la tentación y así facilitar su autorregulación (Van Dillen, Papies, & Hofmann, 2013).Quizás sean las oscilaciones de las personas y de sus motivaciones ante una tarea exigente lo que hace que la autorregulación continua sea tan difícil de mantener (Molden, Hui, & Scholer, 2016). Y por esto es tan importante que la principal tarea de un joven universitario, su desarrollo competencial, sea exigente y le requiera un esfuerzo considerable y mantenido en el tiempo, adecuado a sus posibilidades.…”

En este artículo se pretende describir cualitativamente las autopercepciones en la competencia de autorregulación de los propios deseos de estudiantes de magisterio en cuatro cursos consecutivos con un total de 224 estudiantes de la Facultad de Educación de entre 18 y 19 años en la asignatura de Psicología del Desarrollo. Igualmente se reflexiona sobre el fenómeno de cómo se manifiesta la presencia o ausencia de esta competencia y sus implicaciones psicológicas, educativas, y socioculturales. Para ello, tras una revisión teórica sobre la literatura científica, se expone una propuesta docente exploratoria y descriptiva en la que se parte de dos fuentes de información. Por un lado, el análisis de contenido cualitativo de un trabajo escrito instrospectivo, personal y confidencial sobre la autopercepción de esta competencia. Por otro lado, la consideración de los resultados de 39 minigrupos de discusión. El análisis descriptivo e interpretativo de los resultados muestra que los participantes reconocen y describen sus dificultades para la autorregulación de sus deseos, y explican sus dificultades, aunque con bastantes atribuciones externas. Además, queda patente las múltiples dependencias que presentan para autorregular sus deseos. Como conclusiones, se destacan la necesidad del entrenamiento en esta competencia dentro del ámbito universitario; esto requiere formación en los docentes; que tanto el trabajo introspectivo como los grupos de discusión son recursos educativos de metodología cualitativa muy valiosos en la formación inicial del docente; y se sugiere investigar la relación de esta competencia con otras competencias emocionales intrapersonales y con los propósitos vitales.

Beyond depletion: Daily self‐control motivation as an explanation of self‐control failure at work

Summary The organizational self‐control literature usually applies resource perspectives that explain self‐control failure at work by depletion of self‐control resources. However, these perspectives neglect the role of self‐control motivation. On a daily level, we examine several self‐control aspects (resources, motivation, demands, and effort) as predictors of a manifestation of self‐control failure at work, namely, daily counterproductive work behavior toward the organization (CWB‐O). Additionally, we investigate self‐control effort as a mechanism predicting the depletion of self‐control resources throughout the day. We analyzed data from 155 employees in a 2‐week diary study with 2 daily measurement points. Multilevel path modeling showed that self‐control motivation and self‐control demands, but not self‐control resource depletion, predicted self‐control effort. There was an indirect effect from self‐control motivation on CWB‐O via self‐control effort but no indirect effect from self‐control demands on self‐control resource depletion throughout the day via self‐control effort. Findings suggest that self‐control motivation is a crucial factor explaining self‐control failure at work and cast further doubt on the idea that exerted self‐control effort is the only mechanism leading to self‐control resource depletion.
