Pengaruh atribusi kemiskinan, keadilan dunia dan gaya pembuatan keputusan terhadap kesejahteraan psikologi dalam kalangan kumpulan B40 di Malaysia
No full textDi Malaysia kemiskinan boleh dilihat daripada jurang pendapatan di antara masyarakat bumiputera dan bukan bumiputera. Jurang pendapatan ini seterusnya membawa kepada pembentukan kumpulan masyarakat mengikut pendapatan isi rumah seperti golongan TOP-20, MIDDLE-40 dan BOTTOM-40. Golongan berpendapatan rendah (B40) adalah kumpulan isirumah berpendapatan kurang daripada RM 4,360 sebulan, berbanding golongn M40=6,502 dan T20=RM16,000 ke atas (Jabatan Penerangan Negara, 2013). Merujuk kepada Unit Perancangan Ekonomi Negara, peratusan rakyat bumiputera yang berada dalam kemiskinan adalah sebanyak 6.0 peratus, manakala bukan bumiputera sebanyak 0.1 peratus (Unit Perancang Ekonomi (EPU), 2016). Isu jurang pendapatan Income Inequality telah meletakkan Malaysia di kedudukan antara yang tertinggi di dunia. Kajian lepas menunjukkan jurang ekonomi antara golongan tertentu seringkali dikaitkan dengan sistem pengurusan ekonomi yang boleh mengancam kestabilan sosio-politik. Kajian oleh Jost, Banaji, & Nosek, (2004) mendapati kebanyakan orang miskin atau golongan yang tidak bernasib baik mengaitkan nasib mereka dengan system dan ketidakadilan pemerintah dalam menguruskan sumber. Manakala kajian lain pula mengaitkan kemiskinan bukan semata mata disebabkan oleh sistem malah ia berkaitan persoalan individu (Feagin 1972Kluegel & Smith 1981Robinson, 2009). Dapatan ini selari dengan sebahagian besar kajian kemiskinan yang melibatkan bidang psikologi iaitu berkait dengan atribusi atau persepsi manusia terhadap kemiskinan (Furnham, 2009). Atribusi secara umunya merujuk kepada proses membuat kesimpulan terhadap penyebab kepada sesuatu peristiwa dengan menggunakan maklumat tertentu (Rozmi Ismail, 2011)

Role of sensation seeking and aggression on risk riding behaviors among motorcycle streets racers in Malaysia
No full textIn Malaysia, Illegal motorcycle street racers (locally known as Mat Rempit) is a well known phenomena. Racing on the public roads and performing dangerous stunts action not only endangered themselves but also threaten other road users. This article examines the relationship between impulsive traits, sensation seeking, aggression and risk taking behaviors among illegal motorcycle street racers in Malaysia. Some 564 motorcyclists (identified as Mat Rempit) were interviewed and requested to complete self-reported questionnaires on aggression, sensation seeking, and risky riding. This study found that the Mat Rempit who participated in illegal street racing scored higher on aggression, sensation seeking, and risk taking behaviors as compared to the group of respondents not involved. Results also revealed that those higher on overall impulsive sensation seeking traits also scored relatively high on aggression and risky riding. Regression analysis showed aggression, and sensation seeking behaviors contributed to 16.1% of the total variance in risky riding. This study suggested that effective enforcement as well as special rehabilitation program is needed for this group
Pengaruh faktor individu, keluarga dan persekitaran sosial terhadap tingkah laku penyalahgunaan bahan dalam kalangan remaja
No full textPrevalen salah guna bahan dalam kalangan remaja semakin meningkat setiap tahun. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti hubungan dan sejauhmana faktor-faktor berikut iaitu individu, keluarga dan persekitaran sosial (di sekolah dan komuniti) memberi pengaruh terhadap tingkah laku salah guna bahan. Kajian ini menggunakan metod survei melibatkan pengedaran soal selidik ke atas 480 responden remaja daripada populasi remaja berisiko tinggi dalam penyalahgunaan bahan. Responden yang terpilih adalah berumur di antara 13-17 tahun dan majoritinya adalah lelaki. Analisis korelasi dan regresi berganda telah digunakan untuk menguji hubungan dan mengenalpasti pemboleh ubah peramal terhadap gejala penyalahgunaan bahan. Keputusan kajian menunjukkan pemboleh ubah persekitaran sosial (keadaan berisiko di sekolah) dapat menerangkan sebanyak 45.5% daripada varians dalam tingkah laku salah guna bahan dan menjadi peramal yang dominan. Keputusan seterusnya melalui analisis regresi linear berganda mengesahkan bahawa model regresi menunjukkan pemboleh ubah individu, keluarga dan persekitaran sosial adalah signifikan dalam model tersebut dan menjadi penyumbang utama kepada salahguna bahan dalam kalangan remaja. Kajian ini merumuskan bahawa domain faktor persekitaran sosial amat penting dalam memahami keterlibatan remaja dalam penyalahgunaan bahan dan perlu diberi perhatian dalam merangka dan membina program pencegahan. Implikasi kajian ini mencadangkan bahawa sebarang dasar atau pembinaan modul pencegahan salah guna bahan dalam kalangan remaja perlu memfokus kepada aspek mengurangkan risiko dalam faktor persekitaran sosial seperti keadaan sekolah dan faktor komuniti yang tidak kondusif
Pemanduan berisiko dan agresif serta penilaian terhadap bahaya dan kemalangan jalan raya
No full textKajian ini bertujuan meneliti sejauh mana cara pemanduan berisiko dan agresif serta persepsi terhadap bahaya mempengaruhi risiko kemalangan jalan raya. Kajian survei telah dijalankan ke atas 296 orang pemandu yang secara sukarela menjadi responden kajian. Mereka terdiri daripada pemandu novis dan pemandu berpengalaman yang berbeza dari segi umur dan jantina. Responden diminta untuk mengisi soal selidik yang berkaitan dengan keagresifan, emosi negatif, pemanduan berisiko, tingkah laku cuai semasa memandu dan tingkah laku melanggar peraturan. Selanjutnya dalam kajian kedua seramai 61 orang pemandu telah terlibat dalam kajian berkenaan persepsi terhadap bahaya di mana video pemanduan agresif ditayangkan kepada subjek dan subjek diminta menilai skala bahaya dan tahap kemarahan subjek terhadap situasi yang ditunjukkan. Keputusan kajian mendapati terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan di antara emosi negatif dengan tingkah laku melanggar peraturan, tidak terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan antara jantina, umur responden dan pengalaman memandu dengan pemanduan agresif. Dapatan kajian bagi video pemanduan agresif pula, majoriti daripada subjek kajian berasa sangat marah terhadap situasi yang ditunjukkan dan menyatakan situasi tersebut merupakan senario yang berbahaya dan boleh memudaratkan pemandu lain. Implikasi kajian ini ialah perlakuan bahaya boleh mendatangkan kemarahan kepada pemandu lain dan menjadi sebab kepada pengambilan risiko melanggari peraturan serta boleh mendatangkan kemalangan jalan raya
Pendefinisian semula konsep rempit
No full textThis qualitative study reviewed the concept of Mat Rempit. This study used two methods of interviews. Firstly, individual interviews were conducted with 16 individuals who were from a school in Semenyih, Selangor and they had been involved in rempit activities. Secondly,focus group interviews were conducted involving three groups of individuals who were charged under Section 42 for driving recklessly their motorcycles in Penang, Johor Baharu and Kuala Lumpur. The main results of interviews indicate that rempit can be defined as any activity involving a motorcycle racing team of at least two people Generally, the race comprised various actions such as doing a sprint, or a lap and also stunts (such as, a wheelie or wheekang). In addition, there is ramping of engines of molorcycles and creating excessively loud sounds as well as shouting and showing hand signals. A Mat Rempit is a person involved in these activities. Other related findings and implications are also discussed
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
