Background.Achievement motive is defined as the intention to achieve one’s goals. Achievement motive is assumed to promote clients to choices and actions toward their valuable goal, so it is an important consideration in rehabilitation.Purpose.The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the structural relationship among achievement motive on purpose in life, social participation, and role expectation of community-dwelling elderly people.Methods.Participants were community-dwelling elderly people in day-service centers. A total of 281 participants (male: 127, female: 154) answered the self-administered questionnaire in cross-sectional research. The questionnaire was comprised of demographic data and scales that evaluated achievement motive, social participation, purpose in life, and role expectation. We studied the structural relationship established by our hypothesized model via a structural equation modeling approach.Results.We checked the standardized path coefficients and the modification indices; the modified model’s statistics were a good fit: CFI = 0.984, TLI = 0.983, RMSEA = 0.050, 90% CI [0.044–0.055]. Achievement motive had a significantly direct effect on purpose in life (direct effect = 0.445,pvalue < 0.001), a significantly indirect effect on purpose in life via social participation or role expectation (indirect effect = 0.170,pvalue < 0.001) and a total effect on purpose in life (total effect = 0.615).Discussion.This result suggests that enhancing the intention to achieve one’s goals enables participants to feel a spirit of challenge with a purpose and a sense of fulfillment in their daily lives.

Background: Achievement motive is defined as the intention to achieve one's goals. It is an important consideration in rehabilitation. However, previous studies have not demonstrated the causal relationship between achievement motive and a more enhanced quality of life such as the concept of ikigai and role expectation. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of achievement motive on ikigai, social participation, and role expectations of community-dwelling elderly people. Method: Participants were community-dwelling elderly people in day-service centers. A total of 281 participants (male: 127, female: 154) answered the self-administered questionnaire in cross-sectional research. The questionnaire comprised demographic data and scales that evaluated achievement motive, social participation, ikigai, and role expectation. We studied the causal relationship established on our hypothesized model by a structural equation modeling approach. Results: We checked the standardized path coefficients and the modification indices, and the modified model were good fit statistics: CFI = .984, TLI = .983, RMSEA = .050, 90% CI [.044, 055]. Achievement motive had a significant direct effect on ikigai (direct effect = .455, p value = .000), a significant indirect effect on ikigai via social participation or role expectation (indirect effect = .170, p value = .000) and a total effect on ikigai (total effect = .615). Discussion: This result suggested that enhancing the intention to achieve one's goals enables participants to feel a spirit of challenge with a purpose and a sense of fulfillment in daily living. At the same time, engaging in important activities for oneself as well as recognizing one's role in society enables participants to experience a willingness to help others. We recommend that rehabilitation therapists collaborate with their clients to form new goals based on the client's achievement motive.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effects of the achievement motive on important variables such as the purpose in life and social participation with objective physical functions in predicting within-person fluctuations and between-person differences using longitudinal research in community-dwelling Japanese elderly people. Methods: The final dataset consisted of 227 persons (men: 109, women: 118) from day-service centers through testing at three time points. The tests comprised a questionnaire on the achievement motive, purpose in life and so on and the measurement of physical functions. We verified the following hypothesis model; 1) achievement motive works on improvement of the purpose in life, social participation, self-efficacy, and role expectation, 2) social participation and role expectation improve the purpose in life, 3) hobbies and going out affect the purpose in life, 4) social participation and physical function affect the increase in going out, 5) achievement motive and social participation improve physical function and increase role expectation and hobbies, and 6) self-efficacy improves social participation and the purpose in life. Our hypothesized model was based on previous research and was analyzed using a multilevel structural equation modeling approach. Results: The modified hypothesis model without hobby, grip strength, and gait speed exhibited an adequate model fit: comparative fit index = 0.904, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.775, root mean square error of approximation = 0.064, Akaike’s information criterion = 25201.17, Bayesian information criterion = 25389.59, and adjusted BIC = 25256.24. Within level, the achievement motive had significant direct effects on the purpose in life, social participation, and self-efficacy. In addition, there were significant indirect effects of the achievement motive on the purpose in life through social participation and on social participation through self-efficacy. Between level, the achievement motive had significant direct effects on all variables and significant indirect effects on the purpose in life, social participation, and going out. Conclusion: Our findings highlight the implications of achievement motive for the purpose in life, social participation and self-efficacy of the participation at the within person and between people levels. Consequently, we understood that the achievement motive could strongly affect between-person differences more than within-person fluctuations during a short period of six months.

<p>At this study, meditation effect of aggression was analyzed using Baron and Kenny’s mediation analysis method. Baron and Kenny (1986) indicates that to analyze the effect of mediator variable 3 criteria have to be actualized:</p> <p>1. Independent variable have a significant effect on a mediator variable (way a)</p> <p>2. Mediator variable have a significant effect on a dependent variable (way b)</p> <p>3. Independent variable have a significant effect on a dependent variable (way c)</p> <p>PROCESS program were used the meditational effect, it is an extra macro that is downloading to the Daniel and Hayes’s (2016) SPSS program. In this program mediation effect could be evaluated as; total effect, direct effect and indirect effect scores of mediation variable effect on dependent variable (Preacher & Hayes, 2008).</p>

Pengguna internet yang semakin meningkat memicu permasalahan dalam penggunaan internet. Beberapa tahun terakhir, fenomena fear of missing out (FOMO) yang baru muncul beberapa tahun terakhir diduga dapat menjadi mediator antara kepribadian dan penggunaan internet bermasalah. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk melihat pengaruh FOMO yang berperan sebagai mediator antara kepribadian dan penggunaan internet bermasalah. Partisipan penelitian adalah partisipan berjenis kelamin laki- laki (N = 39) dan perempuan (N = 143) dengan rentang usia 18-29 tahun (M = 23.05, SD = 2.7) yaitu pada emerging adulthood dengan jumlah total partisipan 182 orang. Terdapat tiga alat ukur yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu skala penggunaan internet bermasalah, skala kepribadian, dan skala fear of missing out. Analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu analisis mediasi.  Hasil yang didapatkan dalam penelitian ini adalah trait neuroticism mempengaruhi FOMO secara signifikan, a = 0,268, p <0,001. Kemudian, FOMO mempengaruhi penggunaan internet bermasalah secara signifikan, b = 0,941, p<0,001. Selanjutnya, trait neuroticism mempengaruhi penggunaan internet bermasalah melalui mediator yaitu FOMO secara signifikan, c’= 0,615, p<0,001. Maka diperoleh indirect effect sebesar 0,247,  direct effect sebesar 0,615, dan total effect sebesar 0,863. Indirect effect sebesar 0,247 pada 10.000 bootstrap sampel dan diperoleh true indirect effect yang berkisar antara 0,102 hingga 0,415 pada 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Dapat dilihat bahwa terdapat mediasi parsial antara trait neuroticism dengan penggunaan internet bermasalah yang dimediasi oleh FOMO. Kemudian, terdapat mediasi yang sempurna antara trait conscientiousness dengan penggunaan internet bermasalah yang dimediasi oleh FOMO. Melalui penelitian ini, membuktikan bahwa FOMO memiliki peran yang penting sebagai mediator antara kepribadian dan penggunaan internet bermasalah
