Storm and stress:an investigation of adolescents'use of behavioral and cognitive emotion regulation strategies and their engagement in risky behaviours

The current study investigates the relationship between adolescents' use of adaptive and maladaptive behavioral (i.e., talking to a friend or bullying others) and cognitive (i.e., planning what can be done better the next time, or dwelling on one's thoughts and feelings) emotion regulation strategies following the experience of a negative event and their engagement in risky behaviors. Seventy-eight adolescents from six Montreal inner-city high schools completed the Regulation of Emotions Questionnaire (REQ-2; Phillips & Power, 2007), the Cognitive Regulation of Emotions Questionnaire (CERQ; Garnefski, Kraaij, & Spinhoven, 2002), and the Risky Behaviors Questionnaire for Adolescents (RBQ-A; Auerbach, & Abela, 2008). Results indicate that although adolescents are more likely to use behavioral than cognitive emotion regulation strategies in response to a negative event, the use of adaptive cognitive strategies is associated with a lower incidence of engagement in risky behaviors; whereas, the use of maladaptive behavioral and cognitive strategies are related to an increase in adolescents' risky behaviors. However, contrary to our hypothesis, adolescents' use of adaptive behavioral strategies is not related to adolescents' engagement in risky behaviors. %%%%L'etude actuelle examine la relation entre l'utilisation des strategies adaptives et non-adaptives de regulation des emotions comportementales (parler a un ami ou intimider les autres) et cognitives (planifier mieux faire la prochaine fois, ou ne cesser pas de penser a l'evenement) des adolescents suite a un evenement negatif et leur engagement dans des comportements a risque. 78 adolescents de six ecole secondaire a Montreal ont complete le questionnaire de regulation des emotions (REQ-2; Phillips & Power, 2007), le questionnaire de regulation cognitive des emotions (CERQ; Garnefski, Kraaij, & Spinhoven, 2002), et le questionnaire des comportements a risque pour les adolescents (RBQ-A; Auerbach, & Abela, 2008). Les resultats indiquent que, bien que les adolescents sont plus susceptibles d'utiliser des strategies comportementales que des strategies cognitives de regulation des emotions, l'utilisation de strategies adaptives cognitives est associee a une diminution des comportements a risque, tandis que, l'utilisation a la fois des strategies non-adaptives comportementales et cognitives est liee a une augmentation chez les adolescents des comportements a risque. De facon inattendue, l'utilisation de strategies adaptatives comportementales n'est pas liee a l'engagement des adolescents dans les comportements a risque.
The impact of motivation in children's reading comprehension : differential effects of gender and ability

Research and theory indicate that situational interest may be effectively triggered by an environmental stimulus, and that this supports increases in effort, attention and perseverance (Hidi & Renninger, 2006) which can positively impact related reading comprehension performance and task enjoyment (Wigfield & Guthrie, 1997). Further evidence suggests that these characteristics may be moderated by gender and ability (Logan, Medford & Hughes, 2011; Sainsbury & Schagen, 2004). Three experimental studies were conducted to explore the relationship between reading motivation, manipulated through situational interest, and reading comprehension and task enjoyment in children (8-9 years old), where choice, and two types of novelty were examined as potential triggers. Each study investigated children’s reading comprehension performance and task enjoyment through a repeated measures, cross-over design. After reading a story, participants completed a reading comprehension task and enjoyment questionnaire. Post-testing, a selection of participants took part in focus groups to investigate the research questions. Study 1 investigated effects of choice through offering a perceived choice in the experimental condition. Study 2 investigated effects of novelty through story presentation, where a visitor read the story prologue aloud in the experimental condition only. Study 3 investigated novelty through non-textual features where the experimental condition story included scratch and sniff stickers. In the control conditions, participants read a story without choice or novelty. All studies found significant effects for reading comprehension scores and reported task enjoyment. There was no evidence that effects of choice or novelty were moderated by ability but novelty non-textual features (Study 3) had significantly greater impact on girls’ compared to boys’ reading comprehension. The findings indicate that situational interest may be effectively triggered by both choice and novelty, successfully increasing reading comprehension performance and task enjoyment. There is evidence to suggest that, for some types of novelty, task performance may be sensitive to gender effects.
Multistakeholder initiatives in global production networks: naturalizing specific understandings of sustainability through the Better Cotton Initiative

In recent years various academics, consultants, companies and NGOs have advocated a move towards more cooperative approaches to private sustainability standards in order to address the widely identified shortcomings of the compliance paradigm. But is it possible to address these limitations by moving towards stakeholder inclusion and capacity building while at the same time catering to the demands of lead firms supplying the mainstream market? This article analyses how the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) seeks to do just that, in the process identifying three key tensions and competing policy concerns that standard-setters have had to grapple with: stakeholder inclusion vs. process-control/efficiency; (b) stringency of the standard vs. scale of production; and (c) capacity building vs. auditing. Combining theoretical considerations about governance in Global Production Networks (GPNs) with a convention theory perspective, we explore these inherent tensions and show that due to pre-existing power relations in the cotton GPN, it is hard to develop more cooperative approaches as market and industrial values tend to win out despite efforts to follow current best practice on sustainability standard-setting.
Wearing a Ball Vest in Everyday Activities: Experiences from Adolescents with Neuropsychiatric Disorders, their Parents and Teachers

: Background: Children with neuropsychiatric disorders may have a limited participation in everyday activities. It is common that they tend to avoid engaging in activities due to a decreased ability to interpret sensory information. To increase these children’s’ activity performance ball vests are provided and prescribed as an intervention. The aim of this study was to explore the use of a ball vest in everyday activities from the perspective of adolescents with neuropsychiatric disorders, their parents and teachers. Method: A qualitative method, where six adolescents with neuropsychiatric disorders, their parents and teachers were interviewed concerning experiences of the adolescents’ use of a ball vest for eight weeks. A qualitative content analysis approach was used. Results: The analysis identified four themes. The adolescents with neuropsychiatric disorders, their parents and teach ers portrayed different aspects of the use of the vest which all were mainly positive. The adolescents experienced that their high activity level was influenced by using the ball vest in activities. A slightly delayed calming effect was also described which influenced the adolescents plan when to use of the ball vest during the day. Conclusion: This study identifies a positive though limited hypothesis regarding how a ball vest can be experienced in relation to everyday activities at home and in the school setting for adolescents with high activity levels and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Sleep-Related Attentional Bias to Word Stimuli in Patients with Insomnia Disorder

Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders. About onethird of the general population complains of insomnia symptoms at least once in their life [1]. Insomnia disorder is defined as persistent symptoms such as difficulty initiating sleep, difficulty maintaining sleep, or early morning awakening with the inability to return to sleep at least 3 nights per week for at least 3 months based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) [2]. These sleep disturbances cause daily dysfunction and can lead to serious cognitive, emotional, or even physical problems. Patients with insomnia show cognitive dysfunction in various areas such as memory, executive function, and attention [3], and have a high chance of developing psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety [4,5]. Furthermore, a relationship Sleep-Related Attentional Bias to Word Stimuli in Patients with Insomnia Disorder

Teachers’ Aspirations to Improve their Classroom Interaction

This article explores teachers’ aspirations to improve their classroom interactions with students. The classroom interaction framework of Pianta and colleagues (2012) and the motivational factors approach were combined to investigate 76 in-service lower-secondary school teachers’ perceptions of their motivations towards emotional support, classroom organization and instructional support improvement. The results showed that the teachers’ aspirations were explained by a desire to improve for students' sake. Self-growth as a professional and the desire for increased knowledge in different domains of classroom interaction were among the factors influencing teachers’ possible educational processes. Recognizing teachers’ professional values, expectations and emotions may inform teacher education pedagogies and contexts for teacher learning. https://doi.org/10.26803/ijlter.18. 6.9

The Learning Potential Assessment-2 in Yaqui Native American children

The aim of this study was to determine if the Learning Potential Assessment-2 (EPA-2) can be an adequate instrument for assessing the learning potential in Yaqui Native American children living in Sonora, Mexico. The participants were 89 students from three second grade primary schools divided into an experimental and control groups matched on IQ and age. Both groups were assessed by tests of intelligence. The experimental group was trained with a dynamic testing methodology. The results show a significant difference between the means of the posttest gain scores in the experimental and control groups with a high effect size. There was a temporary stability of the gained scores, because no significant difference between the posttest and the retest were found in a period of three months in the experimental group. In conclusion, the EPA-2 may be useful as dynamic testing for learning potential for this ethnic group and educational level.
Excessive body weight, body fat, and eating habits of students from public and private elementary education

Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of excessive body weight and eating habits among students of 3th and 4th periods of elementary school. Methods: 202 children (87 girls and 115 boys) in four schools (two publics, n=104 and two privates, n=98) from Barra do Garças (MT), Brazil were evaluated. A food frequency and physical activity questionnaire was applied. After measurement of height, weight and body mass index, the body fat (%) was estimated using a bioimpedance scale. The estimation of frequencies and the statistical analysis were performed by the epitools® program. Results: Prevalence of both overweight and obesity were higher in private schools compared to the public ones. The prevalence of overweight ranged from 18.92% to 32.43%, whereas the obesity prevalence varied from 18.2% to 36.4%. Body fat distribution was highest among girls than boys. The daily dietary intake of vegetables, legumes and fruits reached only 57.4%, 50% and 43.6%, respectively. 36.6% of the students did not drink or eat milk and its derivatives. The dietary intake of fatty foods and soft drinks 5 to 7 days per week were high, reaching 24.26% and 27.23%, respectively. The weekly consumption of sweeties and candies was excessive, reaching 39.11% for 5 to7 days. Conclusions: obesity was higher among students from private schools and dietary intake of vegetable foods was inadequate, wherea
Epistemic modality in political discourse

: The aim of this paper is to analyze the use of epistemic modality in political statements by analyzing the political statements of the American and British administration concerning the military campaign in Iraq in 2003 and afterwards, as well as the situation with Iran sanctions. Without any intention of a political argumentation, it is usually considered that, especially the US President, did not have any firm evidence which could show the link between the Iraqi government and the attacks on New York and, before all, their weapons of mass destruction (chemical and biological). By analyzing the statements of the US president Bush, the British PM Blair and other members of their administration, the aim of this paper is to show how politicians use epistemic modality to express their assumptions or the truth of the way they interpret some information regarding the situation in Iraq or Iran, which in this case may be caused by the lack of firm evidence.
Intersectional inequalities and the U.S. opioid crisis: challenging dominant narratives and revealing heterogeneities

ABSTRACT Dominant narratives of prescription opioid misuse (POM) in the U.S. have portrayed it as an issue primarily affecting White communities. In this study we explore POM as reported in data from the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, using an intersectional multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (MAIHDA). We map the risk of POM through a series of multilevel models with individuals (N = 43,409) nested within strata formed by the intersections of gender, race/ethnicity, income, and age. We find meaningful heterogeneity between and within strata. The ten strata with the greatest risk for POM were comprised of individuals identifying as White, African American, and non-White Hispanic, and included individuals of low, medium, and high income. We uncover intersections of social position with high risk for POM that are often excluded from dominant narratives, including young high-income African American women. Intersectional approaches are essential for advancing our understanding of health inequalities and unfolding epidemics such as that of POM in the U.S.

The level of construal involved in the elicitation of core versus moral disgust.

Previous research has distinguished between core disgust, elicited by revolting physical objects like spoiled food, and sociomoral disgust, elicited by violations of social norms or moral principles. We suggest that different levels of construal are involved in the elicitation of core disgust and moral disgust. Specifically, we predicted that the elicitation of core disgust involves more concrete than abstract construal, while the elicitation of moral disgust involves more abstract than concrete construal. On that basis, we examined whether changing the level at which the eliciting situation is construed has a different effect on the intensity of core disgust and moral disgust. In Experiment 1, we found that core disgust is associated more with concreteness than abstractness, whereas moral disgust is associated more with abstractness than concreteness. Next, we found that scenarios (Experiment 2) and images (Experiment 3) that elicit core disgust are construed more concretely and less abstractly, while scenarios and images that elicit moral disgust are construed more abstractly and less concretely. In the 2 final experiments we manipulated construal level and found that the elicitation of core disgust depends on concrete construal more than the elicitation of moral disgust (Experiment 4), while the elicitation of moral disgust depends on abstract construal more than the elicitation of core disgust (Experiment 5). These findings suggest that because core disgust and moral disgust differ in the construal level of their elicitors, changing the level at which the eliciting object is construed differently affects the intensity of core disgust and moral disgust.

Multilateral methodology in physical education improves coping skills, resilience and physical fitness in drug addicts

Drug addiction may cause health problems and social exclusion. Therefore, we investigated the effects of 8-week multilateral physical education intervention (i.e., aerobic-anaerobic exercise at moderate-intensity plus behavioural training), as an adjunct to treatment for drug dependent patients, on psychological and physical fitness variables. 34 male participants (19-71 years) were assigned to an experimental group (n = 17) that performed multilateral intervention, or a control group (n = 17) that did not. At baseline and after 8-week, COPE-NVI, CD-RISC and physical fitness tests assessed coping skills, resilience and fitness levels. Adherence to exercise was 100% and, after intervention, significant improvements (p < 0.05) in the skills and strategies adopted to cope with stressful events and ability to deal with negative experiences were found. In addition, the physical fitness components as static and dynamic balance, anaerobic power and coordination, and endurance of the upper body musculature significantly improved (p < 0.05) in experimental group. Findings highlighted the positive relationship between increased physical fitness and improved functional and adaptive modalities used to cope with stressful events and negative experiences. Therefore, multilateral intervention could improve mental and physical wellbeing in drug addicts by proving to be a key tool in promoting social inclusion.

Effectiveness of Health Belief Model based educational intervention on osteoporosis health belief scale among female academician in Malaysia

: Worldwide the burden of osteoporosis is increasing as both prevalence and incidence of osteoporosis and its related fracture is increasing. Health Belief Model is appropriate as a conceptual model for prevention of disease behavior. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the effect of an educational intervention based on Health Belief Model regarding osteoporosis belief among female academician in Malaysia. A single blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted among 212 female academicians; intervention was conducted for 12 weeks; data was collected at baseline, immediately, one month and three months after intervention. Data was analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20. After intervention, from baseline to three months follow up there was a significant increase in the mean score of beliefs (215.2 - 225.1, p<0.001). Controlling for baseline socio-demographic data, the GLM model showed a significant difference between groups (F=8.403, p<0.001) and within groups for beliefs score (F=13.806, p<0.001). These results provided evidence for the effectiveness of an educational intervention in promoting osteoporosis knowledge which suggests that increase knowledge on osteoporosis can improve exercise and calcium intake even after three months of intervention, but policy should implement for long term intervention to sustain this effectiveness.
