No full textThe purpose of this study is to investigate the attitudes of adolescents toward internet addiction. Cross-sectional study of 92 high school students aged 15-17 (M=15.96 years old, SD = 0,82) completed the following self-reported measures: YDQ for internet addiction, Crowne and Marlowe social desirability scale and the Attitudes Towards Internet Addicted User scale. Adolescents represent internet addicted user as a person who spent most of his time surfing on the internet, as well as a person who sleep less because of his compulsive internet addiction. Adolescents make a distinction between daily uses of the internet (e.g. seeking information on the internet) and behaviors associated with internet addiction. From the exploratory factor analysis four factors emerged. The scale of social desirability was not associated systematically with the items of the scale Attitudes Towards Internet Addicted User and the YDQ scale of internet addiction. The U test showed significant gender differences regarding attitudes towards internet addicted user, with girls showing higher levels in items referring to compulsive use and decreased functionality, while boys showed higher level in recommendations relating to self-awareness of dependency and the protection of privacy in the internet. The examination of attitudes toward internet addicted user revealed some interesting findings for adolescents beliefs and attitudes toward problematic internet use. Furthermore, these findings provide guidance for the designation of an intervention program about internet addiction in Greece or for an adaptation in the Greek context. of an already implemented program in other countries.The purpose of this study is to investigate the attitudes of adolescents toward internet addiction.

No full textThis research focuses on the role of Education Cordinator in Greek schools abroad. We set out to assess the relative importance of the role\u27s three formal dimensions -administrative, advisory, and mediating. We are also interested in the usefulness of the role and its prospects. Our data derived mainly from semi-structured interviews with active and former Education Coordinators as well as from institutional, formal documents. The results of the study confirm that the role of Education Coordinator does indeed encompass the three formally assigned dimensions. Our data also indicated that Coordinators contribute significantly to the success of Greek education abroad. Finally, our data reflected a high degree of agreement that the formal requirements of the Coordinator’s role need to be adjusted to align with contemporary social conditions.This research focuses on the role of Education Cordinator in Greek schools abroad.

The Financial Crisis and Cypriot Foreign Policy: Re-Europeanisation?
No full textRÉSUMÉCet article vise à étudier l’impact de la crise de la zone euro sur la politique étrangère des Etats membres, en prenant Chypre comme une étude de cas. En s’attachant au débat concernant l’européanisation des politiques étrangères nationales, son auteur soutient que la politique étrangère de Chypre, malgré la frustration générale provoquée par la crise financière au sein de la société en général, a fait l’objet d’une autre ré-européanisation. Ceci s’explique principalement par le changement de gouvernement et de leadership, de l’administration Christofias au penchant idéologique vers la gauche, pro-européenne mais adoptant une position critique, à celle d’Anastasiades penchant vers le centre droit, pro-européenne et orientée vers l’Occident. Cet article explore donc la dynamique de ré-européanisation de la politique étrangère de Chypre durant la crise financière et montre comment les élites chypriotes ont effectivement adopté une approche plus centrée sur l’UE plus ou moins pour les questions et les actions de politique étrangère.This article seeks to investigate the impact of the Eurozone crisis on the foreign policy of member states, taking Cyprus as a case study. Drawing on the debate on Europeanisation of national foreign policies, it is argued that Cypriot foreign policy, despite the general frustration caused by the financial crisis within broader society, has actually undergone a further (re) Europeanisation. This is explained in the main by the change in government and leadership, from the ideologically left leaning, pro-European but policy critical Christofias administration to the (centre) right leaning, pro-European and Western oriented Anastasiades government. This article therefore explores the dynamics of (re) Europeanisation of Cypriot foreign policy in the financial crisis and demonstrates how Cypriot foreign policy elites have actually adapted a more rather than less EU-centric approach to foreign policy issues and actions
De-Europeanizing at the UN? The Impact of the International Economic Crisis on Italian Foreign Policy
No full textRÉSUMÉParmi les mécanismes identifiés dans la littérature sur l’européanisation de la politique étrangère italienne, l’idée d’appartenance à un groupe joue un rôle important. En secouant l’idée de la solidarité européenne, la crise économique internationale a favorisé un plus grand euroscepticisme en Italie, ce qui suggère que l’européanisation précédemment enregistrée de la politique étrangère italienne pourrait éventuellement également être affectée. L’article examine si et combien la politique étrangère italienne a été dé-européanisée en comparant le comportement italien à l’ONU d’avant et après la crise. Cette arène a l’avantage de permettre une analyse du comportement italien sur les questions les plus importantes de la politique étrangère. L’ONU est aussi l’une des institutions où les tentatives européennes à parler d’une seule voix ont entraîné les Etats membres à modifier leurs méthodes de travail, obtenant la réalisation des résultats remarquables. Après avoir examiné la littérature sur l’européanisation de la politique étrangère italienne, cette étude présente les données de l’Eurobaromètre sur la croissance de l’euroscepticisme en Italie. Elle s’interroge sur la question de savoir si la crise a eu un impact sur l’habitude italienne de s’aligner sur les autres Etats membres de l’UE à l’ONU, tant à l’Assemblée générale (2004-2013) qu’ au Conseil de sécurité (2000-2012). En particulier, cette étude analyse le comportement de vote à l’Assemblée générale et le parrainage de comportement au Conseil de sécurité sur la base d’un ensemble de données, pertinemment construit et mesure les variations de distance de l’Italie par rapport à la majorité de l’UE à l’Assemblée générale aux pays qui ont été le plus impliqués dans la crise ou qui sont particulièrement importants pour la dynamique de l’UE à l’ONU ainsi qu’aux alternatives potentielles. Le document souligne que, bien que la crise économique a conduit à des variations temporaires et a créé un contexte favorable à agir de façon occasionnelle en cavalier seul, pour les Etats membres de l’UE, l’Italie incluse, une comparaison avec la période précrise montre une grande continuité dans l’européanisation de la politique étrangère italienne.Among the mechanisms identified in the literature on the Europeanisation of Italian foreign policy, the idea of belonging to a group or “we-feeling” plays an important role. By shaking the idea of European solidarity, the international economic crisis has promoted greater euroscepticism in Italy, suggesting that the previously recorded Europeanisation of Italian foreign policy could eventually also be affected. The article explores whether and how much Italian foreign policy has been de-Europeanized by comparing Italian behavior at the UN before and after the crisis. This arena has the advantage of allowing an analysis of behavior on the most important foreign policy issues, but it is also one of the institutions in which greater European attempts at speaking with a single voice have driven member states to change their working methods, achieving remarkable results. After reviewing the literature on the Europeanisation of Italian foreign policy, the study presents Eurobarometer’s data on the growth of euroscepticism in Italy. It then assesses whether the crisis has had an impact on the Italian habit to coordinate with the other EU member states at the UN, both in the General Assembly (2004-2013) and in the Security Council (2000-2012). In particular, analysing voting behavior in the General Assembly and sponsoring behavior in the Security Council on the basis of a dataset appositely built, the paper measures variations in Italian distance from the EU majority in the General Assembly; the countries that were involved the most in the crisis or that are particularly important for EU dynamics at the UN; and, potential alternatives. The paper highlights that, although the economic crisis has led to temporary variations and has created a favorable context for occasional free-riding by EU member states, Italy included, a comparison with the pre-crisis period shows great continuity in the Europeanisation of Italian foreign policy
Suicidal Adolescents and the Greek Community of Montreal
Get PDFThis study examines the phenomenon of Greek adolescent suicide and familial reactions to this amongst members of the Greek Community of Montreal. Interpretation of the data revealed the following the social stigma attached to suicide is more pronounced in the Greek community than in the larger population. This is because of the influence of religious ideology, societal attitudes and the particular importance Greek society places on family and parental roles. Greek families are more resistant to treatment.
This article is based on the Master of Social Work Thesis deposited at McGill University, August 1995Cet article examine le phénomène des adolescents suicidaires d’origine grecque à Montréal et les réactions familiales à cette problématique.
En comparaison avec l’ensemble de la population, le tabou entourant le phénomène du suicide est très prononcé au sein de la communauté grecque. Cette réalité sociale s’explique en partie par l’influence de l’idéologie religieuse, par les attitudes sociales ainsi que par l’emphase particulière que met la société grecque sur l’importance du rôle parental. En effet, les familles grecques sont davantage réticentes à l’intervention sociale que le reste de la population
Πρόλογος της Επιμελήτριας της Έκδοσης: «Κοινωνιογλωσσολογικές και διαπολιτισμικές προσεγγίσεις στην πολιτισμική ετερότητα στο σχολείο»
No full textH πολιτισμική ετερότητα στην εκπαίδευση, με τις ποικίλες εκφάνσεις της, αποτελεί ένα από τα πιο κρίσιμα πεδία έρευνας και παρέμβασης για τους/τις εκπαιδευτικούς στα ελληνικά σχολεία εδώ και αρκετά χρόνια. Με αυτό το δεδομένο, θεωρήσαμε σκόπιμο να συγκεντρώσουμε σε ένα τεύχος άρθρα που παρουσιάζουν σχετικές έρευνες στην Ελλάδα και στην Κύπρο, σε μία προσπάθεια να ρίξουμε φως σε διάφορες όψεις της διασύνδεσης της πολυγλωσσίας και της πολυπολιτισμικότητας με την εκπαίδευση
Η καλλιέργεια της διαπολιτισμικής ικανότητας: Εκπαιδευτικές παρεμβάσεις στο Νηπιαγωγείο
No full textΗ διαπολιτισμική ικανότητα είναι μια βασική ικανότητα που πρέπει να αναπτύξουν όλα τα μέλη των σύγχρονων πολυπολιτισμικών κοινωνιών προκειμένου να συμβιώνουν αρμονικά. Πρόκειται όμως για μία ικανότητα η οποία δεν καλλιεργείται μόνο με την απλή επαφή και τη συνύπαρξη στην ίδια ομάδα ατόμων με διαφορετικό εθνοπολιτισμικό υπόβαθρο. Χρειάζεται συστηματική και μεθοδευμένη προσπάθεια σε επίπεδο εκπαίδευσης η οποία οφείλει να ξεκινήσει από το νηπιαγωγείο. Στο παρόν άρθρο και στο πλαίσιο της Διδακτικής Άσκησης προπτυχιακών φοιτητών παρουσιάζονται κάποιες εκπαιδευτικές παρεμβάσεις που εφαρμόστηκαν σε νηπιαγωγεία της πόλης του Ρεθύμνου και αποσκοπούσαν στο να ευαισθητοποιήσουν στην ετερότητα φοιτητές και μαθητές.Intercultural competence is the basic ability all members of modern multicultural societies should develop in order to live together harmoniously. However, it is an ability which is not cultivated only by simple contact and coexistence in the same group of people with a different ethno-cultural background. It requires systematic and methodical effort on an educational level which should start from kindergarten. In this article and in the context of undergraduate students’ Practice Teaching, we present some educational interventions implemented in kindergartens in the city of Rethymno which are intended to sensitize students and pupils to diversity
Η Εθνική Ταυτότητα και η Ένταξη Αλλοδαπών Μαθητών στο Ελληνικό Εκπαιδευτικό Σύστημα: Η Περίπτωση της Χίου
No full textThe aim of the present essay is to study the aspects of ethnic identity in adolescent, immigrant students and to compare them to the equivalent of native students, based mainly on the two components of ethnic identity (‘commitment’ and ‘exploration’). The method used to implement the study was to conduct quantitative research, in the form of a structured questionnaire, distributed to students of the last class of Primary school, as well as to students of the first and second class of High school. The sample of this research of 166 students of the municipality Chios, of which 83 were immigrant students, who were equated with respect to their demographic, with 83 native students. The questionnaire used in this research based in research of Phinney (1992). According to research results, immigrant students seem to form the layers of exploration and commitment to their ethnic identity through the conflicting elements of the social environment in which they live. Furthermore, there is a distinct difference in the formation of their identity as opposed to that of native students.The aim of the present essay is to study the aspects of ethnic identity in adolescent, immigrant students and to compare them to the equivalent of native students, based mainly on the two components of ethnic identity (‘commitment’ and ‘exploration’).

No full textThis study examines the attitudes of Greek teachers towards Europe in relation with their national identity. Because of the Greek debt crisis and Greece\u27s entrance to IMF and EFSM mechanisms, two successive researches were conducted using the same questionnaire (the first in 1036 and the second in 482 teachers from all over Greece in 2009 and 2011 respectively). The statistical analysis showed that there is a shift away from European orientation, a finding that is attributed to economic difficulties.This study examines the attitudes of Greek teachers towards Europe in relation with their national identity.
