Making the good better?:investigating the long-term associations between capitalization on social media and adolescents’ life satisfaction
No full textInitial evidence suggests that sharing positive news with others on social media may have short-term emotional benefits for young people. However, little is currently known about whether these capitalization processes have long-term implications for adolescent well-being. Drawing upon the broaden-and-build theory of positive psychology, this study examined the longitudinal reciprocal relationship between capitalization on social media and adolescent life satisfaction. The moderating role of trait optimism was also determined. Three-wave panel data were collected from Belgian adolescents between January and October 2020 (N = 1,125; M age = 15.38, SD = 1.44; Girls = 48.4%), and data were analyzed using a random intercept cross-lagged panel model. No significant cross-lagged relationships were found between capitalization on social media and adolescent life satisfaction at the within-person level. Moreover, the relationships were not moderated by trait optimism. Null results suggest that the antecedents and effects of capitalization on social media may be momentary in nature rather than manifested in long-term associations. Findings therefore add to the limited literature regarding social media’s positive role in adolescent well-being
The young player wellbeing podcast:S3 E07 The weight of expectation with Dr Helen Heaviside
No full textOur latest episode, recorded in the Leeds Trinity University podcast studio, is with one of their senior lecturers in sport psychology and published researcher in the field, Dr Helen Heaviside. Helen's research focuses on interpersonal expectancies and impression management. Brad and Toni had absolutely 0 idea about until recording this episode. This episode serves as a major learning experience for as both and forced us to reflect on how expectations affect others and the best ways to manage these expectations. Here's our brief, spoiler free overview on interpersonal expectancies and impression management (sorry in advance, Helen). Interpersonal expectancies are the expectations we, as human beings, have of other people. This concept is particularly interesting in the sport context. Think about the expectations placed on athletes; from fans, media, coaches, teammates, officials. It's a lot, and therefore can have both negative outcomes for wellbeing and performance, if not managed appropriately. Expectancies affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. If we latch on to an expectancy that places unhelpful pressure on us, we might begin to feel stress. When we're stressed our wellbeing might be low, which can negatively impact our performance. That's where impression management comes in, which is all about how to manage the impression (or expectancy) that we are creating of other people and that others create about us. We spend the last part of the episode discussing 'controlling the controllables' to assist with managing impressions. Tune in as we explore interpersonal expectancies and impression management, 2 concepts which might be a bit closer to home than you first thought..

The antecedents of bricolage in innovative firms:an empirical study in Tanzania
Get PDFResource mobilisation is challenging for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in developing countries characterised by resource constraints and market uncertainties. In response to these challenges, many SMEs rely on bricolage to pursue innovation. This study explores the antecedents of bricolage and examines the relationship between bricolage and innovation. The study employs partial least squares structural equation modelling to analyse data from 229 SMEs in the Tanzanian food and drink industry. The findings reveal that financial and market constraints are important antecedents of bricolage among innovative firms and demonstrate that bricolage is positively associated with innovation. Knowledge and/or regulatory constraints do not appear to be significantly associated with bricolage among the sampled SMEs. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings include the need for support agencies and policymakers to recognise the importance of supporting SMEs to address innovation constraints by optimising bricolage behaviour
