The relationship between physical activity and career decision-making self-efficacy in Chinese college students: the mediating roles of self-control and social anxiety by Yuan Fang, Tingting Xu, Maosheng Ye, Changquan Li

“…In the present study, a structural equation model was formulated via the utilization of AMOS 24.0 software, and the Bootstrap approach was implemented. A total of 5,000 samples were randomly drawn for the purpose of validating the research hypotheses, with the determination being based on whether the 95% confidence interval encompassed the value of 0.Results(1) Physical activity was found to positively predict career decision-making self-efficacy, as evidenced by (Estimate = 0.590, p < 0.001). (2) Self-control was demonstrated to play a mediating role in the connection between physical activity and career decision-making self-efficacy, with the effect indicated by (Estimate = 0.075, 95%CI(0.042, 0.113)]. (3) Social anxiety was likewise shown to assume a mediating role within the relationship between physical activity and career decision-making self-efficacy, as manifested by [Estimate = 0.009, 95%CI(0.002, 0.020)]. (4) A chain mediating effect was observed between physical activity and career decision-making self-efficacy for the combination of self-control and social anxiety, with [Estimate = 0.032, 95%CI(0.008, 0.057)].ConclusionThese findings provided significant theoretical support for physical activity as an effective means to enhance university students' career decision-making self-efficacy and offered references for designing sports activity programs. …”

Bio-poéticas y bio-políticas coloniales. Una Arqueología del saber etnológico/etnográfico by Leticia Katzer

“… La consolidación de la Antropología cultural como disciplina científica y la “etnografía” como su método marca un hito epistemológico, puesto que viene a desestabilizar al evolucionismo biologicista como marco universal de subjetivación de la diferencia étnica, sentando las bases para la visibilidad y legitimidad de los universos étnico-culturales diversos en todo el mundo. Sin embargo, nuestra idea central es que la teoría antropológica/etnográfica clásica reinscribe la lógica colonial a través de la propia maquinaria biopolítica/inmunitaria El objetivo del artículo es explorar las categorías, soportes filosóficos y formas de construcción de las relaciones etnográficas que se inscriben en la subjetivación étnica en el marco de las etnografías de primera mitad de siglo XX. …”
