In Search of the Wisdom for Life-Making with Achievement: Development of Achievement Process Model

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The literature review continued extending the scope to positive psychology (welling-being, happiness, and good life) and existentialism. (Unfortunately, the planned in-house large-scale pilot study with university students was not conducted. Instead, the face validity of some model constructs was investigated qualitatively with small groups of university students in classes.)In March 2022, to explore the psychometric properties of the key research model constructs with a broader research population, an online survey titled 'Life-Enriching Project' was conducted with the market research panel members of Cross Marketing, a commercial web survey service organisation. The survey consisted of, among others, the Japanese versions of psychometric measures of the following constructs, Turner et al.'s (2012) 12-item Maximization, Misuraca et al.'s (2015) 4-item Satisficing Subscale, Schwarzer and Jerusalem's (2005) 10-item General Self-Efficacy (Ito, Schwarzer and Jerusalem 2005), Duckworth and Quinn's (2009) 8-item Grit (Nishikawa, Okuue, and Amamiya 2015), Bolton and Lane's (2012) 9-item Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation, and the 4-Type of Motivation drawn from Ryan and Deci's (2000) Self-Determination Theory Continuum. Data were obtained from over 2000 respondents in the 20 to 39 age group who engaged in a life-enriching project for at least six months in the past two years. The data will be analysed to build the foundation for the 2025 data collection and model testing of the proposed 'life-making process model'.
