The Effect of Emotional Social Support on Religious Coping and Depressive Symptoms
No full textReligious coping can increase or decrease depressive symptoms. These mixed results may stem from emotional social support, the exchange of sympathy, which consistently predicts decreased depressive symptoms. To test this relationship, 443 undergraduates reported how frequently they engage in religious and emotional social support coping behaviors and their depressive symptomatology. No relationship was found between the three variables. Further research can investigate how emotional social support impacts the relationship between religious coping and depressive symptoms
A multifaceted approach to understanding schizoid personality across behavioral, intrapsychic, and interpersonal domains
Get PDFThe aim of the present study was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the interaction amongst the behavioral, intrapsychic, and interpersonal domains of schizoid personality. A sample of 227 Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPG) players, ages 18 to 30, completed online self-report measures concerning maladaptive personality traits and several aspects of interpersonal functioning. The sample also provided narratives for Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) cards that were coded by the Mutuality of Autonomy Scale for the TAT (MOA-TAT) to measure schizoid self-other representations. Results showed that schizoid personality could be understood as a dimensional construct, specifically as a constellation of maladaptive personality trait facets of anhedonia, intimacy avoidance, withdrawal, and restricted affectivity according to the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD). However, the relationship between schizoid personality and cold and socially avoidant interpersonal problems was not mediated by schizoid self-other representations, which are characterized by the intrapsychic fear of engulfment and traumatic impingement by others. Significant predictions of schizoid characteristics on interpersonal problems, values, and sensitivities allowed for an integrated understanding of how intrapsychic processes can affect various dimensions of interpersonal functioning in schizoid personality. An argument is made for the continued integration of scientific research and clinical observations to paint a more comprehensive picture of this understudied phenomena. Limitations of the study, clinical implications, and directions for future research are discussed
Cyberbullying: The digital world of awareness and emerging concerns
Get PDFThe digital world of social media that we’ve all become familiar with by now, has taken over social networking sites (SNS) by storm—such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, etc. We use these online platforms today as a medium to communicate digitally to people all over the world—from friends, to family, loved ones, or even just to meet new people. While that may seem like a vast majority of what the Internet looks like today, there’s still that whole other realm of darkness that haunts people who have been victimized, threatened, intimidated, humiliated, and harassed. The Internet is a world, you think, where actions have no consequences, where guilt is cloaked by anonymity, where there are no fingerprints (Rosewarne, 89). These types of behaviors are the main source of online harassment for perpetrators stalking their victims online. With our personal data being more exposed online depending on our search history or even by what is posted online, these same technologies that are built for us to communicate with each other allows for other people to listen in on our private conversations. As a result, our privacy is being exploited by governments for mass surveillance and by corporations to make mass profits, or in other words, surveillance capitalism. Surveillance capitalism describes a market driven process where the commodity for sale is your personal data, and the capture and production of this data relies on mass surveillance of the internet. This activity is often carried out by companies that provide us with free online services, such as search engines like Google and social media platforms such as Facebook (Holloway, 2019). In essence, the more access and control these companies have on our personal information, the more control and power these online perpetrators have on our privacy. If we are in control of our own privacy, we are in control of ourselves and actions. When our privacy is compromised, we lose that control we have on ourselves. Our privacy is important to us, so we must do what we can to regulate our control on it. According to StopBullying.gov, a federal government website managed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, cyberbullying is defined as bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and tablets. Cyberbullying can occur through SMS, text, and apps, or online in social media, forums, or gaming where people can view, participate in, or share content. Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else. It can include sharing personal or private information about someone else causing embarrassment or humiliation. Some cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behavior (stopbullying.gov). Cyberbullying victimization has also been associated with low self-confidence and self-esteem in teens, with name-calling and rumor spreading being the most common forms of harassment (Anderson, 2018). With that being said, 59% of U.S. teens have been bullied or harassed online, and a similar share says it’s a major problem for people their age. At the same time, teens think mostly teachers, social media companies and politicians are failing at addressing this issue (Anderson, 2018)
Birth to Three Language Acquisition: Influences of Ambient Language in the Montessori Setting
Get PDFBIRTH TO THREE LANGUAGE ACQUISITION: INFLUENCES OF AMBIENT LANGUAGE IN THE MONTESSORI SETTING Claudine Campanelli Long Island University, New York, 2021 Dissertation Chair: Lynn Cohen, PhD There is an expanse of literature looking at various topics supporting Montessori education, especially in preschool; however, there is a lack of research in infant and toddler Montessori classrooms. Most of the empirical data regarding language acquisition has focused on the child’s acquisition of vocabulary through direct instruction, rather than the learning capability from overhearing a third party in a naturalistic setting. The purpose of this intervention study was to add to the limited empirical research on language acquisition in infant and toddler Montessori environments. More specifically, the intervention assessed if infants and toddlers could indirectly acquire new vocabulary through the Absorbent Mind from teachers and peers’ ambient dialogue during the Montessori three-period lesson. The research utilized a descriptive, correlational pre-and-post quasi-experimental design to assess and analyze vocabulary and ambient language. Data collection occurred in three Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and American Montessori Society (AMS) infant and toddler mixed-aged environments throughout New York State and Maryland. The Language Environmental Analysis (LENA) system was used to analyze audio recordings. Transcriptions of audio recordings quantified vocabulary acquisition and ambient language. Paired t-tests and ANCOVA were used to analyze children’s acquired vocabulary. A fidelity scale analyzed the extent to which Montessori trained teachers adhered to the three-period lesson intervention. The findings provide opportunities to improve infant and toddler teachers\u27 classroom practice related to language acquisition. Suggestions were offered for early childhood teacher preparation programs
A LATINX CRITICAL RACE THEORETICAL APPROACH TO TESTIMONIOS OF LATINX SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS
Get PDFAs a Latina school psychologist, I use Latinx Critical Race framework with testimonios as methodology to document the individual and collective experiences and perspectives of six Latinx school psychologists in urban and suburban school settings regarding the role that race plays in the special education process. Their testimonios reveal how they are racialized in their profession through their intersecting identities of race, ethnicity, culture, and language. In particular, they testify to their everyday experiences of racial microaggressions, in which they are viewed through a deficit lens by supervisors, colleagues, and the parents of the students they serve. In addition, their testimonios describe how they experience emotional distress because of vicarious racism (Harrell, 2000) they experience when they witness the racism that students of color experience in the special education process. The collective voices of these Latinx school psychologists tell a story of how, despite the challenges they experience, they negotiate with racial disparities in multiple ways. First, they acknowledge and challenge racist-dominant ideologies that White teachers and other school staff hold towards students of color. Secondly, they recognize how a student’s race, ethnicity, and language puts them at risk of being classified with a disability and disproportionately recommended to special education. Thirdly, the participants address (a) the misuse of IQ testing by making visible how intelligence tests are racially biased when used with students of color and (b) the importance of considering factors such as race, ethnicity, culture, language, and educational background during the decision-making process. Finally, they share a sense of obligation to support parents of color in navigating the special education system. This study is a valuable contribution to the field of school psychology because of the limited research on the experiences and perspectives of Latinx school psychologists. Through the lens of Latinx school psychologists, this study also provides critical insights about the special education process for other educators and stake holders

A Fine Wheel-Lock Pistol
No full textThe barrel, of blued steel, is polygonal for the first one-third of its length, and cylindrical from that point to the muzzle. Inlaid with gold and silver on the breech and in three other places with foliated scrolls, animal forms and a figure in classical attire standing beneath a canopy. The upper surface of the barrel is inlaid with the gunsmith\u27s signature: A VITRE PAR M. JAQUES. DE GOULET.; the mark of this maker is furthermore engraved on the breech and shows the initials I.G. within a shield. The lock is of that rare XVII Century French pattern, unlike any other type, the mainspring being encased in the wooden stock and independent of the lock proper and the end of the axle-tree of the wheel is supported by the screw-plate (a French invention) forming a wide open V. This lock is of bright steel slightly engraved; inlaid trigger-guard. Walnut stock with octagonal, ovoid butt. Butt and stock inlaid throughout with silver floral scrolls, and with silver applied plates depicting animals, amorini, and oriental figures under canopies. Jacques de Goulet, the maker of this fine pistol, was one of Louis XIII\u27s official gunsmiths. It belonged to Louis XIII, and appears in the inventory of his weapons drawn up in 1685, under Louis XIV, where it is No. 207. Both its provenance and its unusual character make it one of the most valuable pieces in the collection. From the Spitzer Collection.
