Protection motivation theory and pro‐environmental behaviour: A systematic mapping review

Abstract Objective Climate change and related issues associated with the interaction of humans with the environment are of great importance in today's context. More and more research is focusing on understanding what can be done to prevent and reverse the effects of environmental problems through individual behaviours. Within psychology, there is a lack of synthesis of what drives pro‐environmental behaviours in various paradigms and how they can be changed. The current study focuses on the application of protection motivation theory to predicting and changing pro‐environmental behaviours using a systematic mapping approach. Methods A systematic screening of 132 databases was performed, resulting in the identification of 22 relevant studies with the total N = 12,827. Results Investigation of the included research revealed a number of gaps in knowledge including: lack of experimental evidence with successful manipulations of protection motivation theory constructs; non‐inclusion of all the aspects of the theory into studies; the absence of examination of the intention–behaviour relationship; the lack of consistency in operationalisation of protection motivation theory constructs; a focus on predominantly western high income societies, and the lack of uniformity in the definition of pro‐environmental behaviours. Conclusion Future research should consider employing experimental designs with proper manipulation checks and longitudinal focus, as well as consistent definitions and operationalisations of relevant concepts, and exploring these constructs across different countries.
Making Summer Pay Off: Using Behavioral Science to Encourage Postsecondary Summer Enrollment.

For many low-income community college students, the road to graduation is challenging: Only 13 percent of entering students graduate within two years,1 and only 24 percent graduate within three.2 However, research has shown that students who enroll in summer courses are more likely to persist and graduate.3 Summer enrollees have the opportunity to earn credits and make progress toward a degree. The summer term also bridges the gap between the fall and spring semesters — a time of transition when many students drop out of college.4 Despite these benefits, most college students do not attend during the summer. How can postsecondary institutions encourage more students to enroll in summer courses? If more students do enroll, will they experience improved academic outcomes?
Processing of Painful Pictures in Individuals With High and Low Rejection Sensitivity: Evidence From Event-Related Potentials

An increasing number of studies have investigated the relation between the processing of painful stimuli and rejection. Little was known, however, about the impact of the rejection sensitivity (RS) on the processing of painful pictures. This study addressed this issue using high temporal resolution event-related potential techniques. Thirty high RS (20 women and 10 men who scored in the top 20th percentile of the Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire scores) and 30 low RS (20 women and 10 men who scored in the bottom 20th percentile) volunteers participated in the experiment. All volunteers performed a discrimination task of painful pictures in which they were asked to judge whether target pictures were painful or not. Behaviorally, participants exhibited shorter reaction times for painful than nonpainful pictures. For the P100 component, low RS participants showed stronger brain activities for painful than nonpainful pictures, suggesting vigilance toward painful pictures. High RS participants, however, exhibited no P100 amplitude differences between painful and nonpainful pictures, indicating an analgesia phenomenon. Furthermore, we found that there were larger amplitudes in the late late positive complex component for painful compared with nonpainful pictures, regardless of participants’ RS. This suggested a person’s further assessment for painful pictures. In short, our findings demonstrated that the level of RS influenced the pain processing at a very early stage of processing.
The Roles of Different News Media Use and Press Freedom in Education Generated Participation Inequality: An Eight Country Comparative Analysis

This eight-nation comparative study adopts a multi-modal analytical approach in investigating education driven stratification in political participation and the simultaneous roles of various media (print newspaper, television, radio, and social media) and press freedom in influencing this inequality. The findings suggest that informational use of social media, print newspaper, and radio increases the likelihood of participation, but consuming television news inhibits participation. Furthermore, social media use, like radio and television use, exacerbates education-generated inequality. Press freedom as a socio-political factor reinforces the role of the television, print newspaper, and social media in participation inequality. Theoretical and policy implications are discussed.
Integrating Cultures into Teaching EFL in Vietnam: Teachers' Perceptions.

In the context of ASEAN integration, intercultural education has gained a better position in teaching and learning English. As a part of educational reformation, an experimental English coursebook version for Grade 10, 11 and 12, which is integrated with intercultural content, has been applied to gradually replace the current version. To foster intercultural education, it is essential to explore the status of intercultural education from teachers’ perceptions. This study aimed to investigate: (1) teachers’ beliefs and perceived practices of intercultural integration, (2) their concerns about intercultural integration prior the change of curriculum as part of educational reformation, and (3) supportive factors to teachers’ awareness and concerns about intercultural integration. From the data collected from 119 upper-secondary school teachers in Tra Vinh, a province in the Mekong through a five-Likert-scale questionnaire and open-ended questions, the findings illustrate that (1) the teachers had good awareness of intercultural integration but (2) they still had many concerns especially about the curriculum and management, and (3) the teachers who used the experimental coursebooks were more confident with intercultural integration than the ones who used the current version. The findings suggest that teachers should be more oriented towards intercultural instruction, and educational management should be consistent with the intercultural aims of the reformed curriculum to ensure the success of intercultural education.
The influence of new and traditional media coverage on public attention to social movements: the case of the Dakota Access Pipeline protests

ABSTRACT Social movements often seek news media attention as a means to garner public attention to social problems; social movements may also attempt to circumvent traditional media channels through the use of social networks. The role of social media in cultivating political and social change is an area of increasing interest to scholars studying the politics of social movements, yet there exist few systematic studies on how social media attention interacts with traditional forms of media to produce public attention to social issues. Using the 2016–2017 protests of the Dakota Access Pipeline by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and allies, we examine how social media (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter) influenced public attention to the NoDAPL protests, demonstrating that engagement with social media has effects independent of traditional forms of media coverage.
Gender Differences in Youth Exposure to Community Violence: A Partial Test of Power-Control Theory

Youths’ exposure to community violence increases their risk for harmful emotional and behavioral outcomes. Several family management strategies protect youth against exposure though there is scant literature exploring whether their application is gendered. Using data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods, we draw from power-control theory to assess gender differences in family management strategies and the extent to which this accounts for boys’ greater exposure to neighborhood violence. Controlling for neighborhood contextual factors and youth covariates of exposure to violence, findings suggest that parents adopt gendered parenting practices, which in turn helps clarify why boys are more likely to report exposure to community violence.
A Transformation-Based Framework for KNN Set Similarity Search

Set similarity search is a fundamental operation in a variety of applications. While many previous studies focus on threshold based set similarity search and join, few efforts have been paid for KNN set similarity search. In this paper, we propose a transformation based framework to solve the problem of KNN set similarity search, which given a collection of set records and a query set, returns <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$k$</tex-math><alternatives><mml:math><mml:mi>k</mml:mi></mml:math><inline-graphic xlink:href="wang-ieq1-2886189.gif"/></alternatives></inline-formula> results with the largest similarity to the query. We devise an effective transformation mechanism to transform sets with various lengths to fixed length vectors which can map similar sets closer to each other. Then, we index such vectors with a tiny tree structure. Next, we propose efficient search algorithms and pruning strategies to perform exact KNN set similarity search. We also design an estimation technique by leveraging the data distribution to support approximate KNN search, which can speed up the search while retaining high recall. Experimental results on real world datasets show that our framework significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both memory and disk based settings.
Construction and validation of an ADHD screening tool for preschool children: A study with Spanish population

Most cases of ADHD occur in children under five, and this situation calls for screening tools with high sensitivity and specificity for early age. This study presents the ADHD-3P, a new screening tool developed with Spanish population for preschool children. From an initial pool of 151 items, face validity analyses, followed by item analyses and analysis of the scale, were carried out. A 27-item scale (? = .95) composed of three factors: hyperactivity (? = .92), inattention (? = .92), and other symptoms (? = .81) resulted from the analyses. Discriminant power was high (89.7% for ADHD, and 88.3% for non-ADHD). Diagnostic performance was evaluated through Receiver-Operating Characteristic curves, and excellent sensitivity (92.86%) and specificity (89.86%) were obtained. In sum, the ADHD-3Pis a promising tool to be used by parents, teachers, and pediatricians.
Coping with stressful situations in social work before and after reduced working hours, a mixed-methods study

ABSTRACT Little is known about how reduced working hours relate to social work stressors, coping and work-life balance. An exploratory mixed methods study was therefore performed at a Swedish social service agency participating in a quasi-experimental trial of work-time reduction by 25%, with proportionally reduced workload, and retained full-time pay. Social workers that reduced their working hours reported less emotional exhaustion (n = 28, p < 0.05) on the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey, and less reactivity in stressful situations connected to time urgency and irritation (n = 28, p < 0.05) on the Everyday Life Stress Scale. In interviews, the social workers described that despite using effective, problem-focused coping behaviour at work, both before and after work-time reduction, high caseload remained a central stressor, creating time conflicts that exacerbated stressful situations involving emergencies, practical setbacks, client aggression, report deadlines, and managerial stress. In contrast, the work-time reduction was described as fully resolving time conflicts and stress during free-time in situations that involved finding time for friends, household chores, rest, exercise and childcare. Results suggest that reduced working hours lowered emotional exhaustion and situational reactivity by increasing free-time recovery opportunities and decreasing total daily exposure to work stress, but future trials should also compare reduced work-time with reduced caseload.
Studi Fenomenologis Tentang Motivasi Kelompok Resiko Tinggi Hiv/Aids Dalam Melakukan Vct (Voluntary Counselling and Testing) Di Puskesmas Duren Bandungan

The presence of the Group expected VCT programs at high risk have a motivation to checked themselves in VCT clinic to be able to know as early as possible the condition of his health, so that further action can be immediately given. In addition VCT programs is the entrance to the advanced services namely care support and treatment so it is very important for accessible professionally. The purpose of research is to describe how the phenomenon of high risk group of motivation in conducting VCT (Voluntary Counselling and Testing) at Publich Health Care Duren, Bandungan. The method of sampling is done using a sample of snowball (snowballing sampling), non-randomized methods to obtain samples from the sample information earlier. Data collection conducted in-depth interviews with. Test validity in this study using the method of discussion groups. Based on research results, obtained that driving within factor for conducting VCT comes from the existence of a will, the desire, and awareness of self. Reason or catalyst in conducting VCT gleaned from interviews with respondents, namely to know the status of HIV/AIDS, get information about HIV/AIDS, and the prevention of HIV/AIDS. Results of the study also mentions the presence of outside influence or environment in providing motivation for doing the VCT through outreach and discussion.
University Legal Learning Spaces Effectiveness in Developing Employability Skills of Future Law Graduates

Purpose – The objective of this study was to examine the role of legal learning space in a Malaysian university and how this space impacts on law students’ preparation for the employment market. This study comes in response to the issue of inexperienced graduates, who lack appropriate employability skills for the world of work, commonly referred to as the ‘graduate skills gap’. Methodology – This study used an online survey (accessed via a QR code) on 256 law students at a university in Malaysia. The sample size comprised 213 currently enrolled students and 43 alumni, with the former cohort representing 95% of the total law student population at the university and the latter representing 17% of the total alumni population. Findings – The study found that students, regardless of their year of study, did not consider that legal learning space at the university replicated real life legal practice but thought that the space prepared them for employment. The students felt that some legal learning space was better than others in developing their employability skills. Despite this they enjoyed interacting in the space collectively and felt that it helped them improve their teamwork, communication and soft skills. It also revealed that the perceptions of legal learning space could be improved with better management of staff and student expectations. Significance – This study was one of few studies, which investigated the role of learning space in developing law students’ employability skills set. The findings helped to consolidate existing research in the area of graduate skills gap, the development of graduate employability skills, and in advancing research on identifying students’ perception of learning space and the specific skills students felt they had developed while engaged in this space. This study will be of particular interest to both employers and universities as they seek to manage each other’s expectations and pursue a more practice-based learning curriculum.
Surfing to help? An empirical analysis of Internet use and volunteering in 27 European societies

ABSTRACT With the spread of the Internet, people are more connected than ever before. Against this background, we evaluate the link between Internet use and volunteering as a rather unexplored aspect of social life. Comparing 27 European societies and using data from the Eurobarometer, we show that Internet use is positively related to the probability of undertaking unpaid work in most voluntary organizations. However, our main result has to be qualified with respect to group-specific effects. First, Internet use seems to elevate less educated and unemployed peoples’ propensity to volunteer. Thus, using Internet technologies may trigger helping behavior in social strata, where it is less likely to occur. Second, the positive relationship between Internet use and volunteering is stronger for older adults who are more likely to volunteer when they use the Internet. Third, the positive link between Internet use and volunteering is stronger for citizens living in rural areas than for urban residents.
Familiarity and Application of Web 2.0 Technologies in Education and Learning by LIS Postgraduate Students

Background and Aim: Web 2.0 technology is considered as one of the most important communication technologies in higher education. The goal of this study was to determine the level of familiarity and use of web 2.0 technologies in education and learning by LIS postgraduate students of universities affiliated with MSRT and MOHME in Tehran. Methodology: This is an applied study of descriptive-correlational type that was conducted by survey. The statistical population of the study consisted of 197 postgraduate students of medical librarianship, informatics, and scientometrics who were selected by stratified random sampling. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity and reliability have been confirmed. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis and significance determination, respectively. Results: Students had the highest familiarity with Wikis (mean of 4.26 and SD of 0.77) and the least familiarity with labeling and markup sites (mean of 2.85 and SD of 1.17). The level of familiarity with Web 2.0 technologies was higher in MOHME students than MSRT studnets, which showed a significant difference in this regard. Conclusion: The level of acquaintance and utilization of MSRT and MOHME students from Web 2.0 technologies is relatively good. It is expected to provide equal opportunities for all students in education and training to promote the application of Web 2.0 technologies through the inclusion of relevant lessons in students’ curricula and their use as educational tools.
Self-Determination and College Students with Disabilities: Research Trends and Construct Measurement

The literature on postsecondary students with disabilities stresses the importance of self-determination skills on the college experiences and outcomes of these students. However, the theoretical framework undergirding much of this research emerged largely from the K–12 special education literature, and differs from the Self-Determination Theory used more commonly with respect to college students in general. Thus, this article systematically reviews the literature regarding trends and instruments developed for measuring self-determination for these students. One hundred articles met the study’s inclusion criteria and most publications were descriptive in nature, with only nine testing the efficacy of interventions. A variety of definitions of self-determination with varying components and assessment measures were employed in the studies examined. Notably, all of these definitions were developed for secondary students and are now being applied in postsecondary settings. Implications of the findings for student affairs research and practice are discussed.

Politicizing participatory culture at the margins: The significance of class, gender and online media for the practices of youth networks in the MENA region

Our paper focuses on case studies of artistic, creative and political participation by young feminists and civil society groups in Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia and the UAE. Central questions uncover the intersecting significance of class, gender and new media in young MENA citizens’ participation; the connections between mediated cultural production and political intervention; and the role of structural barriers for online community and agency. Our conclusions challenge the notion that the democratic ethos of civic participation networks has burgeoned since digitization, and highlights that digital tools and online spaces work more effectively for youth with existing offline economic power and/or cultural capital.
