Internal Consistency and Confirmatory Factor Analysis of Smartphone Addiction Inventory (SPAI)

Background: Parallel with the rapid growth of smartphone users among the youth, its problematic use has received attention due to adverse outcomes. The psychometric properties of smartphone addiction inventory (SPAI) have been studied among Italian and Taiwanese university students. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the SPAI among Iranian university students. Methods: We recruited 402 undergraduate university students in the study from February to March 2017. The SPAI and young’s Internet addiction test (IAT) were completed for them. The AMOS statistical software (version 21) was used to test the five-factor model proposed in the original SPAI. The results of the goodness-of-fit index showed an ambiguous solution. For more appropriate trimming of the SPAI factorial structure, an exploratory-confirmatory cross-validation strategy was followed. Results: The SPAI showed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.92). Cronbach’s α values of the five subscales varied from 0.53 to 0.84. The results supported a five-factor solution consisting of sleep interference, craving, daily life inference, compulsivity, and time spent (chi-square = 1105.445; P < 0.000; CFI = 0.902; TLI = 0.91; RMSEA = 0.09), which showed good convergent validity with the IAT scores. Moreover, the SPAI showed high factor correlations. Conclusions: Given the increasing trend of smartphone users in the country, the Persian version of the SAPI could be a useful tool for further investigation of smartphone problematic use among Iranian university students.
Social Cognitive Theory : A Bandura Thought Review published in 1982-2012

This article was about reviewing ten of Albert Bandura's scientific works on Social Cognitive Theory published in journals, textbooks, and handbooks. Bandura has elaborated the social learning process with cognitive and behavioral factors that influence a person in the social learning process. The main identity of social cognitive theory was the introduction of the concept of human agency and the concept of triadic reciprocal determinism. Human agency has the meaning that human beings have the capacity to direct themselves through control over the thinking process, motivation and self-action. In the triadic model reciprocal determinism was discussed about the causes of reciprocal consequences of behavior, cognition and other personal factors, and environmental influences, in interacting interactions with one another. In addition to the above concept, Bandura also put forward on self efficacy. Self-efficacy perception occupies an important role in the causal structure of cognitive social theory because efficacy beliefs affect human ability to adapt to change, individually or collectively.
Feasible Coaching Supports to Promote Teachers' Classroom Management in High-Need Settings: An Experimental Single Case Design Study

Abstract Although there are many definitions of a high-need (or high-risk) school, typically researchers and policy makers agree it is a setting in which a vast percentage of students are (a) living in economic disadvantage, (b) from racially diverse backgrounds, (c) identified as having a disability, or (d) underperforming academically. Many teachers in high-need settings are new to the field or have experienced persistent challenges demonstrating effective classroom management. As a result, these teachers might benefit from intensive data-driven coaching to improve classroom management practice. Yet, existing empirically supported comprehensive coaching models tend to require resources that may be scarce in high-need settings. In this multiple-baseline single case research design study, teachers who requested assistance to provide effective classroom management received feasible coaching support (i.e., explicit didactic training, booster training with verbal modeling). Teachers implemented comprehensive classroom management plans with the highest level of treatment fidelity upon receiving booster training, and class-wide student behavior improved.
The Effects of Alignment of Educational Expectations and Occupational Aspirations on Labor Market Outcomes: Evidence from NLSY79

ABSTRACT Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth of 1979, this article examines the relationship between adolescents‘ educational and occupational expectations, and how they correspond to their subsequent labor market outcomes in adulthood. We show that over-aligned adolescents, those who expect to obtain more education than is necessary for their desired occupation, are predicted to have hourly wages 30% higher than under-aligned adolescents, whose educational expectations are lower than their occupational expectations. The misalignment of educational and occupational expectations is not related to the probability of being employed through individuals’ early twenties to late forties. However, over-aligned individuals are predicted to have more prestigious occupations than under-aligned individuals, suggesting that those in the over-aligned group sorted into better jobs over their careers. We also show that the effects of misaligned expectations on labor market outcomes change over the years, indicating that having high and aligned expectations are even more important for labor market outcomes than previously estimated.
Lost in the Process: How Stakeholders View the Quality of Public Universities in Croatia?

Outcome-based education is becoming relevant discourse in evaluating the quality of study programmes through the European Commission Policies. Using an analysis of the evaluation indicators that point to the desired concept of quality, this research provides a deeper insight into the expectations that the major stakeholders (government, academia and agencies) in the Croatian higher education system have from public universities and whether these institutions are output- -oriented, which is stated as an objective in the European, and also in the Croatian context. The perception of quality that stakeholders imply by measuring the academic performance of public universities for different purposes is analysed by means of characteristics of indicators in the input-process-output matrix. The results show that the overall quality is largely based on measuring the quality of processes at higher education institutions, then on inputs and very little on outputs. According to the importance of indicators, teacher and student mobility are categories evaluated in the documents of all stakeholders. Lastly, this study contributes to the consideration and evaluation of the quality of public universities at the national level and their compatibility with international perspectives.
Neither Cue Familiarity nor Semantic Cues Increase the Likelihood of Repeating a Tip-of-the-Tongue State

Psycholinguistic and metacognition researchers mostly disagree on what constitutes a tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) state. Psycholinguists argue that TOT states occur when there is a transmission of activation failure between the lemma and phonology levels of word production (e.g., Burke, MacKay, Worthley, & Wade, 1991). Metacognition researchers argue that the TOT state is better described as a subjective experience caused by a mechanism that assesses the likelihood of recall from memory. One sub-hypothesis of the metacognitive account of TOT states is the cue familiarity hypothesis, which suggests that a TOT state may occur when cues elicit a feeling of familiarity (Metcalfe, Schwartz, & Joaquim, 1993). We conducted three experiments to evaluate the cue familiarity hypothesis of TOT state etiology. Experiment 1 included a test-retest TOT task with identical definitions (i.e., cues that should elicit familiarity) versus alternative definitions. TOTs were as likely to repeat for alternative definitions across test and retest as identical definitions, which is inconsistent with the cue familiarity hypothesis. Experiment 2 included the same task layout as Experiment 1, but we used very different cues (pictures versus descriptions for famous people). Again, we found that TOTs tended to repeat regardless of whether or not prompts were identical. In Experiment 3, we presented either a picture and description simultaneously or a description only on the first test, followed by a description only on retest. We found that giving participants an extra semantic cue did not change the probability of repeating a TOT state. These findings suggest that repeated TOT states do not occur due to cue familiarity nor is the locus of the TOT state at the semantic level of the word production/word recall system. Therefore, we argue that the results point towards a success of lemma access, but then failure of the lemma-to-phonology mappings.
TEACHERS PERCEPTION ON THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING AND LEARNING IN ASSOCIATE SCHOOLS ZAMFARA STATE, NIGERIA

ABSTRACT Teachers are at the forefront of kids’ educational exper iences, to provide children with the guidance and technical skills they need to succeed in their connected future. This study therefore examined the perception of teachers’ training on use of technology and integrating technology in instructional delivery. Questionnaire were developed and administered to 40 selected teachers, the data collected was analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The research findings revealed that, teachers’ perception on training of the use of technology fou nd toimprove their teaching practice in classrooms. Therefore, Government should provide on-the-go extensive training/seminars/workshops that is consistently moving with technological changes. government and stakeholders in education should provide technological equipment that will enhance teachers use of instructional materials in their teaching and learning processes.
The impact of work on cognition and physical disability: Evidence from English women

Delaying retirement has significant positive effects on the average cognition and physical mobility of women in England, at least in the short run. Exploiting the increase in employment of 60-63 year old women resulting from the increase in the female State Pension Age, we show that working substantially boosts performance on two cognitive tests, particularly for singles. We also find large improvements in measures of physical disability as a result of working: substantial increases in walking speed, and lower reports of mobility problems. However, for women in sedentary occupations, work reduces walking speed, due to lower levels of exercise. *Contact details: Banks (j.banks@ifs.org.uk), Cribb (corresponding author) (jonathan.cribb@ifs.org.uk), Emmerson (carl.emmerson@ifs.org.uk), Sturrock (david.sturrock@ifs.org.uk).

Experiences and psychological strain in volunteer medical doctors providing medical visual examination for asylum seekers in a reception center in Germany – a qualitative interview study

Abstract Nearly 40% of the refugees arriving in Germany suffer from psychological traumatization. After initial accommodation in reception centers, German legislation requires that all refugees undergo a medical visual examination (MVE) to screen for infectious diseases. This examination is, in part, conducted by volunteering medical doctors. The present study aimed to analyze volunteering medical doctors’ motivation for performing MVE, their connected experiences, and their psychological strain in a reception center. In this context, the emergence of secondary traumatic stress, vicarious traumatization, and the need for psychological support were explored. Semistandardized interviews were conducted with 18 medical doctors after they had performed MVE. Interview recordings were transcribed and subsequently underwent qualitative thematic analysis. Finally, thematic clusters were identified. The analysis revealed 512 relevant single codes, from which three main categories were derived. These ranged from private motives for volunteering to perform MVEs in a reception center setting, to thoughts and feelings after performing the examination, and the need for psychosocial support. After having performed MVE, some of the doctors displayed cognitive alterations, which can be an indication of vicarious traumatization. Most participants felt motivated to reflect on their personal beliefs and their moral concepts.
Does Islamic Religiosity Influence Female Muslim Fashion Trend Purchase Intention? An Extended of Theory of Planned Behavior

In this article we examine the effect of the variable Islamic Religiosity toward consumer purchase intention on Muslim fashion trends by using the extended of theory of planned behavior as the grand of the theory. Respondents in this study were female Muslim in Central Java, Indonesia. Data collected using purposive sampling and analysis tool used in this study is path analysis. The results showed that all hypotheses were accepted except hypotheses three. Subjective norms have the most influence on the intention to buy female Muslim fashion trends. Subjective norm variables have a significant effect on consumer attitudes and consumer purchase intentions on female Muslim fashion trends. Other findings state that the variable of Islamic religiosity does not have a significant effect on female Muslim purchase intention directly, but the Islamic religiosity variable indirectly influence toward female Muslim purchase intentions through consumer attitudes variables. Whereas for Perceived behavioral control variables have a positive effect on consumer purchase intention.Keyword: Islamic Religiosity, Theory of Planned Behavior, Female Muslim Fashion Trend, Purchase Intention
The Role of Attachment in Experiences of Affiliate Stigma Among Parents of Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Individuals

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between parents of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals’ attachment styles and their experiences of LGB affiliate stigma associated with having an LGB child. It was hypothesized that higher levels of anxious and/or avoidant attachment, as measured by the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale (ECR; Brennan, Clark, & Shaver, 1998), would predict higher levels of LGB affiliate stigma, as measured by the LGB Affiliate Stigma Measure (LGB-ASM; Robinson & Brewster, 2016). A sample of 87 self-identified parents of LGB individuals completed the ECR and LGB-ASM. Utilizing multiple regression, results of statistical analyses provided partial support for the hypotheses of this study. Multiple regression analyses supported the primary hypothesis: overall, higher levels of insecure attachment predicted higher levels of LGB affiliate stigma among parents of LGB individuals. Contrary to hypothesis, however, while higher levels of anxious attachment were found to be a significant predictor of two of the three domains of LGB affiliate stigma, levels of avoidant attachment did not emerge as a significant predictor of any of the three domains of LGB affiliate stigma. Clinical implications, limitations, and directions for future research, particularly with parents of LGB individuals, are discussed.
A Dynamic Approach to Understanding Immigration, Ethnicity and Violent Crime in Chicago Communities

Once again, politically-driven events in the United States have brought the relationship between immigration and crime to the forefront in public, political, and academic discourses. Yet, despite proclamations made by a key U.S. political figure claiming that immigrants, specifically Mexican immigrants, are “bringing drugs. [and] bringing crime” (Trump, 2015) to U.S. communities, criminological research consistently finds that there is either an inverse relationship between immigration and crimeor no relationship at all (see Ousey and Kubrin, 2017 and National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, 2015 for review). Moreover, with decades of research on the relationship between immigration and crime, this large body of literature has remained either cross-sectional in nature and/or relied on pan-ethnic foreign-born measures of immigration. Following the tradition of early urban sociology, this dissertation contributes to immigration and crime scholarship by focusing on the dynamic nature of neighborhoods, ethnoracial neighborhood structure, and changes in community populations’ ethnic immigrant groups on community violent crime. The current work draws upon fundamental ecological theories of crime, note-worthy immigration, communities and crime scholarship to argue for including measures of ethnicity in immigration and crime studies. Further, it argues that the logical next-step in immigration-crime research is to examine how changing community population compositions affect safety within neighborhoods inherently shaped by the U.S. ethnoracial regime. Using secondary data from the 2000 U.S. Decennial Census, the 2005-2009 American Community Survey (ACS) and the National Neighborhood Crime Study I and II (NNCS) on 814 Chicago census tracts, the current work adds another layer of richness to the body of communities, immigration, and crime scholarship. Thus it presents how, all things equal, changes (2000-2009) in Chicago communities’ foreign-born populations by ethnicity and nativity affect changes in community violent crime (2012).
Training and Development

Training and development activities are based on the premise that people are the most valuable resource of the organization. Part of the mandate for a human resources department is to develop and administer policies, practices and procedures which will provide for the effective training and development of employees to: • ensure the organization achieves its goals and objectives • assist employees in fulfilling their maximum career potential.
Comparative Study of Job Satisfaction in Workers with a Degree in Physical Activity and Sports Science

Job satisfaction is the favourable or unfavourable subjective feeling through which workers perceive their job. Numerous studies show the significant relationship between job satisfaction, motivation, performance and the quality of services. Thereby, the success of a sports organization depends upon the internal client to a great extent. However, job satisfaction an important subjective emotional variable that has been poorly evaluated in the sports sector. The aim of this study was to compare five professional profiles with a degree in Physical Activity and Sports Science, through the Herzberg’s theory of job satisfaction. The sample consisted of 974 university graduates from the entire Spanish territory with a degree in Physical Activity and Sports Science who had a relevant position in this field (69.8% men; 30.2% women), of whom more than half were in the age groups of 26 to 30 years (33.8%) and 31 to 35 years (23.4%). Based on the findings of this study, there were differences in job satisfaction between workers of Physical Activity and Sports Science according to the professional scope (teaching, management, fitness, training/high performance and other scopes).
Psychosocial Development and Well-being in Retirement: The Relationship Between Generativity, Ego Integrity, and Regret Among Canadian Retirees

Transitions such as retirement may facilitate change in social and psychological dynamics, perhaps encouraging what Butler (2002) refers to as a life review: an introspective process encouraging reflection on the life course, potentially eliciting regret(s). Older adults may especially be tasked with coming to terms with the life they have lived given time constraints and perceivably less opportunity to rectify paths not taken. Drawing upon Erikson’s (1950) stages of generativity and ego integrity, the purpose of the present study is to understand the role of psychosocial development in the presence or absence of regret as well as to further understand which specific factors may contribute to well-being in retirement. Overall, results indicate relationships between generativity, ego integrity, and two types of well-being (satisfaction with life [SWL] and meaning in life [MIL]). Scores on generativity and MIL were not significantly different between those who expressed having regrets compared with those who did not have any regrets, whereas scores on ego integrity and SWL were significantly different. However, frequency analyses revealed that most retirees did not indicate having regrets and for those that did, careerand family-related regrets were expressed most frequently. Finally, generativity and ego integrity, but not regret, were predictors of both types of well-being. These findings highlight the impact of psychosocial factors on coming to terms with regret and well-being outcomes among retirees. PSYCHOSOCIAL DEVELOPMENT, REGRET, AND WELL-BEING IN RETIREMENT ii
The intonation of the Q-marking construction: A comparison of Hungarian and Slovenian

This paper examines the Q-marking construction: an interrogative construction in which a question phrase takes scope over a higher clause even though it appears in a lower clause. In this construction, the scope of a question phrase is extended by the presence of another word, the Q-marker, in a higher clause. While the syntax of this construction has been described and analysed in a number of works, its intonation is yet to receive commensurate attention. This paper presents data from two unrelated languages in which the Q-marking construction can be used to form questions: Hungarian and Slovenian. Data show that while the Q-marker shares properties with question words in Hungarian (they bear the same pitch accent), in Slovenian the Q-marker and question words bear distinct pitch accents. Furthermore, in Hungarian a direct intonational link exists between the Q-marker and a question phrase whose scope is extended, rather than an indirect one between the Q-marker and the entire lower clause in which the question phrase appears. The Slovenian data are compatible with the existence of either an indirect or a direct intonational link. These findings reveal hitherto unidentified dimensions of cross-linguistic variation, for which any analysis of the Q-marking construction must account.
