Research data is the original Intellectual Property produced by researcher that is then reported and interpreted in scholarly books, journal articles, and conference proceedings. This collection is a store of research data produced by Oxford Brookes researchers so that their data can be accessed by other researchers and the public.
This study test the relative predictive power of goal-striving reasons framework and self-determination theory for three key life domains (work, exercising and environmentalism). It does so by comparing the relevant sub-dimensions of the two theories (approach/avoidance within goal-striving reasons framework and autonomous/non-autonomous within self-determination theory). The findings of this longitudinal study (N = 139), using multiple regression analyses (enter method), show that, overall, the approach/avoidance sub-dimension is a better predictors of people’s positive psychological functioning at work and for exercising whereas the level of environmentalism was better predicted by autonomous or non-autonomous forms of motivation . This further substantiates the theoretical differences between the approach/avoidance based goal-striving reasons framework and autonomy focussed theories such as self-determination theory. This is because the approach/avoidance dimension is more sensitive for the affective exper…

This is a report of the evaluation of the post-implementation phase of the Thames Valley Hospital Navigator Scheme. the report illustrates how the Navigator model provides a valuable early intervention pathway for young people presenting in the ED with a range of challenging issues. There are four aspects to the evaluation: a document review, a scheme-wide audit, a case description review, and interviews with stakeholders across the scheme: commissioners, hospital managers, ED staff, VCSO managers, Navigator Co-ordinators, Navigator Volunteers, young people, and parents. This report provides brief summaries of the key findings from the evaluation datasets. There are 8 sections in the report: Section 1 sets the scene for the scheme. Section 2 presents the quantitative findings from an audit across the 5 sites. Section 3 foregrounds accounts from young people who have benefitted from the scheme. Section 4 presents an integrated delivery model that can inform the implementation of similar schemes. S…

Self-concordance theory and the goal-striving reasons framework both measure the quality of people’s reasons for their goal pursuits. Both have provided substantial evidence for their predictive power for people’s well-being. However, it remains unclear which of the two goal-reason models is the better predictor for different forms of well-being. The paper analyses the distinct relationships of the two models in relation to hedonic well-being (Subjective Well-Being, Life Satisfaction, Affect Balance) and indicators of eudaimonic well-being (Basic Need Satisfaction, Purpose and Self-Acceptance). The findings are based on a cross-sectional, correlative research design based (N = 124). Using multiple regression analyses the results show that the goal-striving reasons framework is overall more strongly associated with hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. However, the differences for hedonic well-being as well as for self-acceptance and purpose are much larger than they are for the three basic needs of autonomy, com…
