Der rechte Stadtdiskurs : mehr als reine Stadtfeindschaft
No full textInsbesondere ländliche Räume sind im Zuge des Aufstiegs (extrem) rechter Parteien zum Gegenstand gesellschaftlicher Auseinandersetzungen um Infrastrukturabbau, Austerität und „leftbehindness“ geworden. Dabei sind auch Städte vielfach Ziel rechter Mobilisierungen. Dieser Diagnose folgend zeichnet Johann Braun die gegenwärtige rechte Sichtweise auf Stadt nach, indem er zentrale Zeitschriften des organisierten Neonazismus, der kulturpolitisch rechten Publizistik und des Rechtskonservatismus auswertet. Braun arbeitet drei zentrale Topoi heraus: erstens eine städtebaulichen Tradition, zweitens die Stadtgesellschaft der Masse und drittens die Stadtpolitik mit Kontrollverlust. Das Verhältnis der politischen Rechten zur Stadt ist Braun zufolge sehr ambivalent: Einerseits markieren sie die Stadt der Gegenwart als elitär, global und widernatürlich, andererseits sehnen sie sich nach der Stadt der Normalität aus Natur, Gemeinschaft und Lokalität
The green connection : The relationship between connection with nature and pro-environmental attitudes, behavior, and well-being of young adults in Poland ; A longitudinal study
No full textPreliminary findings are promising and suggest that a stronger connection to nature may contribute to the development of pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors while also potentially enhancing well-being and psychological resilience. However, previous research has often been limited to cross-sectional analyses, which do not provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics involved in human-nature interactions. To address these methodological gaps, we conducted a two-wave longitudinal study with a six-month interval, involving 261 young adults from Poland. The results of our study demonstrated that connectedness to nature predicts an increase in pro-environmental attitudes (β = .17, p = .002) and behaviors (β = .18, p .05), suggesting that the health benefits of connectedness to nature in this age group may have been overestimated in previous cross-sectional studies. Nevertheless, the significant effects on the development of so-called "pro-environmental orientation" justify the need for further research on connectedness to nature and suggest that interventions in this area may yield benefits for environmental protection
Visual Protest, Viral Images, and Virtual Participation : Protest and Photography in the Contemporary Movement for Black Lives
No full textFrom Verse to Vision : Exploring AI-Generated Religious Imagery in Bible Teaching
No full textThis article critically analyses the use of generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)—specifically, the DALL·E system within the ChatGPT-4o environment—for creating visualisations of biblical scenes for teaching purposes. As part of a case study examining the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan (Mt 3:13–17; cf. Mark 1:9–11; Luke 3:21–22; John 1:31, 34) and the Last Supper (Mt 26:17–30; cf. Mark 14:12–16; Luke 22:7–13), four AI-generated images are analysed. Two were created using general, non-specific prompts, while the other two were based on more precise queries containing references to Catholic symbolism and the images’ intended educational use. A comparison of these variants reveals a lack of theological depth and symbolic oversimplification in AI-generated images, as well as a tendency to reproduce Western cultural stereotypes. Despite their aesthetic appeal and quick availability, these images do not reflect the complexity of the biblical or spiritual contexts of the scenes depicted. This study aims to evaluate the theological, symbolic, and pedagogical value of AI-generated images and to provide practical recommendations for their responsible use in Bible didactics. In conclusion, the authors argue that GenAI can support biblical teaching when used consciously, critically, and reflectively
The Double‐Edged‐Sword Effect of Constant Connectivity on Work Performance : Roles of Perceived Value, Work–Life Balance, and Work–Family Conflict
No full textConstant connectivity through smartphone use represents a major societal challenge, particularly in relation to work performance and work–nonwork boundaries. This research leverages an interdisciplinary theoretical framework, crisis settings, and a cross‐cultural approach (France and the United Kingdom) to specify the impacts of smartphone use on work performance and work–life interfaces, before and during the COVID‐19 crisis, among large samples of employees (N Pilot = 229; N 1 = 938; N 2 = 1042). An empirical test of this integrative model shows that smartphone use influences work performance directly, work–life balance negatively mediates this relationship, and work–family conflict moderates it. It advances knowledge by considering both dimensions of work performance, generic task performance and adaptive performance, which is crucial for adapting to technologies and crises. This research also emphasizes the need to consider the context in which smartphone use affects work performance, notably in situations marked by high pressure, such as crises that become chronic. By introducing the marketing concept of perceived value as a mediator, this research shows that utilitarian value improves work performance while hedonic value decreases it, thus advancing the scholarly conversation and helping to manage constant connectivity
Student motivation and instructional clarity : Linking experience sampling method data to objective behavioural observations
No full textTheoretical Background
Previous studies indicate that students' learning motivation varies across learning situations and is influenced by situational characteristics such as teaching behaviour. We focus on instructional clarity as one factor that may influence expectancies and task values.
Aims and Research Questions
This study combines a previously published dataset of university students' experience sampling method (ESM) self-reports about their current motivation with unpublished video recorded data of the same learning situations. We examined how lecturers' instructional clarity predicted states of students' learning motivation.
Sample(s)
One hundred and fifty-five preservice teachers assessed their situated expectancies and task values three times within each weekly 90-minute lecture over the period of 10 weeks. Simultaneously, video recordings of the lecturer were made and coded qualitatively for instructional clarity.
Methods
We then combined students' motivation to lecturers' instructional clarity in the same learning situations. We used cross-classified multilevel models to examine the associations of ESM surveys of students' motivation (level 1; n = 2227), nested in students (level 2a; n = 155), to ratings of lecturers' instructional clarity from videos (level 2b; n = 81).
Results
Our findings indicated that none of the three indicators of instructional clarity (detail of explanation, variation of explanation and logical inconsistency) predicted global measures of motivation at the learning situation level. When exploring further into the facets of motivation, a detailed explanation predicted expectations of success and effort costs.
Relevance
Overall, the idea of combining objective observation and subjective assessments emerged as valuable for adequately mapping complex dynamics in teaching–learning situations
