T1  - Metakognitives Strategiewissen in sprachbezogenen Situationen : Interne Struktur und Validität des ScenEx
JF  - Diagnostica
N2  - Studieren stellt hohe Anforderungen an selbstregulatorische Fähigkeiten und eigenverantwortlichen Umgang mit schwierigen Situationen. Aus den zusätzlichen sprachlichen Barrieren für ausländische Studierende erwachsen spezifische selbstregulatorische Aufgaben, wie der Umgang mit Verständnisproblemen in Vorlesungen. Da hierfür bisher kaum geeignete Erhebungsinstrumente existieren, versucht ScenEx diese Lücke zu schließen. Der Test erfasst das metakognitive Strategiewissen in sprachlich herausfordernden Situationen im Studienalltag. Anhand einer Stichprobe von 290 ausländischen Studierenden im ersten Fachsemester wird die psychometrische Qualität und interne Struktur des Instruments überprüft. ScenEx zeigt eine zufriedenstellende interne Konsistenz und gute Itemfit-Kennwerte, erwartungskonform liegen lokale stochastische Abhängigkeiten der Aufgaben innerhalb der Szenarien vor. Eine konfirmatorische Faktorenanalyse bestätigt die Grobstruktur der Szenarien und des Gesamtscores des Tests. Das Verfahren ist für die weitere Entwicklung der Sprachkompetenz über die anfängliche Sprachfähigkeit hinaus prädiktiv. ScenEx erweist sich insgesamt als ein reliables und valides Instrument zur Erfassung des Strategiewissens in schwierigen Situationen im Studium.
N2  - Studying at a university requires a high degree of self-reliance. Self-regulatory skills and the ability to independently handle difficult situations are important for successfully completing a degree. In addition, foreign students are faced with language-based challenges demanding specific self-regulatory skills, such as dealing with comprehension problems in lectures. To date, assessing these skills has been difficult because of a lack of suitable instruments. The ScenEx Questionnaire purports to close this gap by measuring metacognitive strategic knowledge in everyday study situations by posing language-based challenges, presented as scenarios. Using a sample of 290 foreign students in their first semester, we assessed the psychometric quality of ScenEx. ScenEx shows a satisfactory internal consistency and good item fit. A confirmatory factor analysis confirms the structure of the scenarios and the overall score of the test. The procedure predicts the further development of language competence beyond the initial stage. ScenEx is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing strategic knowledge regarding linguistically difficult situations at the university.

T1  - Symbolic Moral Self-Completion – Social Recognition of Prosocial Behavior Reduces Subsequent Moral Striving
JF  - Frontiers in Psychology
N2  - According to theories on moral balancing, a prosocial act can decrease people’s motivation to engage in subsequent prosocial behavior, because people feel that they have already achieved a positive moral self-perception. However, there is also empirical evidence showing that people actually need to be recognized by others in order to establish and affirm their self-perception through their prosocial actions. Without social recognition, moral balancing could possibly fail. In this paper, we investigate in two laboratory experiments how social recognition of prosocial behavior influences subsequent moral striving. Building on self-completion theory, we hypothesize that social recognition of prosocial behavior (self-serving behavior) weakens (strengthens) subsequent moral striving. In Study 1, we show that a prosocial act leads to less subsequent helpfulness when it was socially recognized as compared to a situation without social recognition. Conversely, when a self-serving act is socially recognized, it encourages subsequent helpfulness. In Study 2, we replicate the effect of social recognition on moral striving in a more elaborated experimental setting and with a larger participant sample. We again find that a socially recognized prosocial act leads to less subsequent helpfulness compared to an unrecognized prosocial act. Our results shed new light on the boundary conditions of moral balancing effects and underscore the view that these effects can be conceptualized as a dynamic of self-completion.
