No full text20th International Psychology Counseling and Guidance Congress - OCT 26-27, 2018 - Samsun, TURKEYWOS: 000583332600002This study examined the role of basic needs, loneliness and life satisfaction on boredom among university studentsand differences between the average of students' boredom scores by gender. Research was designed in a correlational survey model. The sample group consisted of 613 (393 female, 220 male) university students who studied in the second semester of the 2017-2018 academic year of Mugla Sitki Kocman University. Multiple Linear Regression Analysis and independent samples t-test was used for data analyses. According to the findings, it was determined that the need for power and fun, life satisfaction and loneliness significantly predicts boredom while the need for survival, love & belonging and freedom didn't predict boredom. Finally, male's boredom averages were found significantly higher than those of female's. The results gave researchers, practitioners and theorists a new perspective on boredom. It was seen that basic needs, loneliness and life satisfaction played an important role in boredom. Therefore, efforts should be made to meet the basic needs of university students, especially entertainment and power needs, to increase their life satisfaction and to reduce their loneliness in intervention studies to prevent boredom. In this regard, suggestions have been made for practitioners and researchers
A multi-country test of brief reappraisal interventions on emotions during the COVID-19 pandemic
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic has increased negative emotions and decreased positive emotions globally. Left unchecked, these emotional changes might have a wide array of adverse impacts. To reduce negative emotions and increase positive emotions, we tested the effectiveness of reappraisal, an emotion-regulation strategy that modifies how one thinks about a situation. Participants from 87 countries and regions (n = 21,644) were randomly assigned to one of two brief reappraisal interventions (reconstrual or repurposing) or one of two control conditions (active or passive). Results revealed that both reappraisal interventions (vesus both control conditions) consistently reduced negative emotions and increased positive emotions across different measures. Reconstrual and repurposing interventions had similar effects. Importantly, planned exploratory analyses indicated that reappraisal interventions did not reduce intentions to practice preventive health behaviours. The findings demonstrate the viability of creating scalable, low-cost interventions for use around the world
Erkek Okul Öncesi Öğretmen Adaylarının Mesleki Tercihlerine İlişkin Görüşleri: Toplumsal Cinsiyet Bağlamında Bir Analiz
No full textBu çalışmanın amacı, erkek okul öncesi öğretmen adaylarının mesleki tercihlerini etkileyen koşullara ilişkin görüşlerini derinlemesine incelemektir. Bu amaçla, 2015-2016 öğretim yılında Türkiye'de Okul Öncesi Öğretmenliği lisans programlarında öğrenim gören 112 erkek öğrenciye demografik bilgileri ve açık uçlu soruları içeren bir anket uygulanmıştır. Açık uçlu sorularla öğretmen adaylarının; bu bölümü tercih etme nedenleri, bölüm tercih sürecinde karşılaştıkları güçlükler ve aldıkları destekler, gelecek kariyer planları ve bölümü tercih etmek isteyen adaylara önerilerine ilişkin görüşleri alınmıştır. Katılımcıların bu mesleği tercih etme nedenlerine ilişkin nitel analiz sonucunda, mesleğin sunduğu iş imkânları (n=57, %=34.13), çocuklarla çalışmaya ilgi duyma (n=51, %=30.54), öğretmenlik mesleğine ilgi duyma (n=21, %=12.57), YGS sonucuna uygun bir bölümü tercih etme (n=20, %=11.98), aile ve öğretmen yönlendirmesi (n=11, %=6.59 ve bilinçsiz tercih (n=7, %=4.19) temaları bulunmuştur. Katılımcılar bölüm tercihinde bulunurken, çevrelerinde kendilerini destekleyenlerin (n=61, %=41.50), engel olmak isteyenlerin (n=60, %=40.82) ve hiç bir müdahalede bulunmayanların (n=26, %=17.68) olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Katılımcıların kariyer planlarına ilişkin nitel analiz sonucunda, devlette öğretmen olma (n=62, %=37.35), özel sektörde öğretmen olma (n=5, %=3), yönetici olma (n=38, %=22.90), özel bir okul öncesi kurumu açma (n=28, %=16.87), akademik kariyer planlama (n=28, %=16.87) ve hedefi net olmayanlar (n=5, %=3) şeklinde temalar ortaya çıkmıştır. Katılımcıların bölümü tercih etmek isteyen adaylara önerilerine bakıldığında, ilgi ve yetenek doğrultusunda seçim yapılmasını önerenler (n=74, %=47.74), toplumsal cinsiyetten bağımsız düşünülmesini önerenler (n=62, %=40), erkeklerin bu bölümde öğrenim görmelerini önermeyenler (n=15, %=9.68) ve kararsız olanlar (n=4, %=2.58) olduğu görülmüştür. Elde edilen bulgular, benzer araştırmaların bulguları ile beraber toplumsal cinsiyet bağlamında tartışılmış ve bazı önerilerde bulunulmuşturThis study aims to examine the views of male pre-school teacher candidates about the conditions influencing their occupational preferences in depth. For the purpose, a questionnaire including demographic information and open-ended questions was implemented to 112 male students in the pre-school education department in the 20152016 academic year in Turkey. Open-ended questions were asked regarding the causes of choosing the department, the difficulties those encountered in the department selection process and their support, career plans for the future and opinions about the proposals to candidatesdesiring to prefer the deparment. As a result of the qualitative analysis of the reasons for the participants’s pereference for the profession, the themes of the research shows that “the bussiness oppurtunities which the profession provides” (n=57, %=34.13), “being interesting in working with the children” (n=51, %=30.54), “being interested in the teaching” (n=21, %=12.57), “prefer the suitable profession in line with the University Entrance Exam score” (n=20, %=11.98), “the guidance of the family and teacher” (n=11, %=6.59), and “uninformed preference” (n=7, %=4.19). And also, it was revealed that the participants were those who supported them (n=61=, %=41.50), obstructed persons (n=60, %=40.82) and those who did not have an influence (n=26, %=17.68) when they preferred the profession. In the analysis of the participants' career plans, the themes were determined as being a teacher in the state institution (n=62, %=37.35), in the private sector (n=5, %=3), being a school director (n=38, %=22.90), establish a private pre-school education institution (n=28, %=16.87), having an academic career (n=28, %=16.87) and having no certain goals (n=5, %=3). In the qualitative analysis of the participants’ suggestions to candidates preferring the preschool education, the themes, such as those who suggest choosing in terms of the interest and the ability (n=74, %=47.74), those who suggest being considered independently of gender (n=62, %=40), those who do not suggest the department for men (n=15, %=9.68), and those who are irresolute (n=4, %=2.58), have been found out. The results have been discussed together with the findings of the similar studies in terms of the gender and the beneficial suggestions for the literature have been mad
Date Rape: A Review
No full textSon zamanlardaki araştırmalar, tecavüz vakalarının dünya çapında arttığını göstermektedir. Bu tür olayları önlemek için birçok akademik ve toplumsal çalışma yapılmış olmasına rağmen, belirli bir tecavüz türü, yani flört tecavüzü hakkında bir bilgi boşluğunun olduğu dikkat çekmektedir. Flört tecavüzü, romantik bir ilişkide iki taraftan birinin diğerine yönelik gerçekleştirilen cinsel saldırı olarak kabul edilmiştir. Flört tecavüz vakaları gittikçe artmaktadır. Flört tecavüzünün bir suç olarak görüldüğüne dair az sayıda rapor olmasına rağmen, araştırmalar evlilik içi ve tanıdık tecavüz kadar yaygın olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu nedenle bir derleme olarak tasarlanan bu çalışmada flört tecavüzü, yaygınlığı, mağdur üzerindeki etkisi tartışılmıştır. Madde veya alkol kullanımının rolü, toplumun flört tecavüzüne yönelik algısı ve suç olarak tanımlanmasındaki zorluklar literatür ışığında ele alınmış araştırmacılara, uygulayıcılara ve politika yapıcılara önerilerde bulunulmuştur.Recent studies show that rape cases are on the rise around the globe. Although many leading academic and communal studies has been carried out to prevent such incidents, it is noteworthy that there is an information gap about a specific type of rape, namely, date rape. Date rape has been considered as a sexual assault by one of the two parties in a romantic relationship. Unfortunately, the rate of date rape cases has been increasing. Although there are few reports of dating rape as a crime, studies show that it is as common as marital rape and acquaintance rape. Therefore, in this study designed as a review, we discussed the date rape, its prevalence, its effect on victim, the role of substance or alcohol usage, the society's perception on it, and the difficulties to define it as a crime in the light of literature and suggestions we are made to researchers, practitioners and policymakers
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
