Emerging Adults’ Views on Masspersonal Self-Disclosure and their Bridging Social Capital on Facebook

Masspersonal self-disclosure on social network sites entails new risks and benefits for bridging social capital, defined as social resources such as a connection to and investment in large and heterogeneous collectives, which are important to develop during the transition to adulthood in democratic societies. To better understand motivations and social capital consequences of masspersonal self-disclosure among emerging adults, this mixed-method study examined how U.S. college students view various topics of masspersonal self-disclosure and whether values embedded in their views contributed to their perceived bridging social capital, after accounting for their Facebook use and the diversity of their networks. A total of 208 (110 women, 95 men, 3 non-binary, Mage = 20.28) students completed online questionnaires while referring to their Facebook profiles. Qualitative analyses showed how valuing self-expression, alongside other-focused values, informed participants’ decision-making about masspersonal self-disclosure. Quantitative results showed that valuing self-expression more frequently across topics of self-disclosure predicted bridging social capital; however, the use of Facebook privacy controls and indicators of ethnic and political diversity in students’ networks did not. We discuss the importance of values in understanding emerging adults’ behaviors on social network sites, their generation of bridging social capital, and civic identity development.
Lean team leadership for better team processes, performance and well-being : a mixed-methods field study

We visited ten teams during two days, to collect data using three methods. Our first method provided insight into the different teams and their completion of Lean practices and observed the behaviour of team leaders via a regular Lean meeting (N1=7). The second method, we gained an understanding of the team processes and well-being of the teams (N2=10). The Critical Incident Interviews gave us a qualitative insight into the various organisational challenges the organisations working with Lean practices face (N3=26). We found relations among relations-orientated behaviour, change-orientated behaviour, several team processes, and well-being aspects. However, we also found that teams with a strongly report task-oriented team leader reported higher scores on team-functioning, compared to other teams. We also discovered positive relations between Lean practices adoption and top-management support for Lean. Besides, participants stated that without top-management-support they could not implement Lean practices. Also, a strong increase in team-level performance during the Lean implementation was reported. What is more, the researchers found a wide range of Lean practices that were adopted amongst the teams. Concluding, we put forward a variety of propositions intended to guide future cross-national research and propose practical implications for practitioners for a more successful practice of Lean Leadership.
Does smoking cause lower educational attainment and general cognitive ability? Triangulation of causal evidence using multiple study designs

Abstract Background Observational studies have found associations between smoking and both poorer cognitive ability and lower educational attainment; however, evaluating causality is challenging. We used two complementary methods to explore this. Methods We conducted observational analyses of up to 12 004 participants in a cohort study (Study One) and Mendelian randomisation (MR) analyses using summary and cohort data (Study Two). Outcome measures were cognitive ability at age 15 and educational attainment at age 16 (Study One), and educational attainment and fluid intelligence (Study Two). Results Study One: heaviness of smoking at age 15 was associated with lower cognitive ability at age 15 and lower educational attainment at age 16. Adjustment for potential confounders partially attenuated findings (e.g. fully adjusted cognitive ability β −0.736, 95% CI −1.238 to −0.233, p = 0.004; fully adjusted educational attainment β −1.254, 95% CI −1.597 to −0.911, p < 0.001). Study Two: MR indicated that both smoking initiation and lifetime smoking predict lower educational attainment (e.g. smoking initiation to educational attainment inverse-variance weighted MR β −0.197, 95% CI −0.223 to −0.171, p = 1.78 × 10−49). Educational attainment results were robust to sensitivity analyses, while analyses of general cognitive ability were less so. Conclusion We find some evidence of a causal effect of smoking on lower educational attainment, but not cognitive ability. Triangulation of evidence across observational and MR methods is a strength, but the genetic variants associated with smoking initiation may be pleiotropic, suggesting caution in interpreting these results. The nature of this pleiotropy warrants further study.
“I look deep into this stuff because it’s a part of me”: Toward a critically relevant civics education

ABSTRACT In communities historically shaped by processes of de jure and de facto segregation; police repression; and lack of access to equitable housing, jobs, and labor-rights, young people find very little of this content reflected in their school-based learning. These societal “civics lessons” indicate the need to move beyond the aim of closing the “civic opportunity gap” and toward a more relevant, critical—even transgressive—approach to civic learning in school. In this article, the authors look across their individual studies to consider how young people of color experienced and interpreted current forms of racialized injustice, how their school-based civic instruction intersected with these experiences, and where they turned to explore these dilemmas. Findings reveal that youth engaged with various out-of-school resources, including family members and new media platforms, to investigate and interpret racialized injustice. Through these findings we developed a grounded theory of school-based civics education that we call critically relevant civics, an approach that embraces the out-of-school resources that young people tap into to navigate the civic world and grapple with the precarious nature of their citizenship status.
Future Time Perspective and Real-Life Utterances About the Future in Young and Older Adults

Future time perspective (FTP) refers to an individual’s global perception of the future. It has been found to be positively related to life satisfaction. FTP is traditionally assessed via self-report, but recently a few studies have used observable behaviors for assessing FTP. We focused on two real-life behaviors (frequency and qualities of talking about the personal future) and explored whether they could be used as behavior-based measures of FTP. We examined the association between these behaviors and self-reported FTP, and their relationships with life satisfaction. The sample included 55 young (aged 18–31) and 47 older adults (aged 62–83) who completed questionnaires on future time perspective and life satisfaction. Over 4 days, participants carried an electronically activated recorder, which randomly captured 30-second sound snippets from their daily lives – a total of 30,656 sound snippets were collected. Participants’ utterances were coded for temporal orientation. Linguistic inquiry word count was used to analyze the qualities of future-oriented utterances. Structural equation models showed that self-reported FTP was not associated with the two real-life behaviors. It was positively associated with life satisfaction for the whole sample. The frequency of future-oriented utterances and family-related words were positively related to young adults’ life satisfaction. Achievement-related words were positively related to older adults’ life satisfaction.
On who can the animals count? : the influence of endorsers and charity appeals on donation intention and brand trust: in the context of animal welfare organisations

The purpose of this study is to extend the little research that has been conducted on the advertisement elements of endorser marketing and charity appeal on influencing brand trust and donation intention within the context of animal welfare. As fundraising became much harder due to the increase of charities, social media could be useful for non-profit organisations to engage and reach more (potential) donors. Therefore, the influence of micro-celebrities is examined. In general, this study aims to provide an insight on the influence of endorser types and charity appeal on trust in the charitable organisation (i.e. brand trust) and charitable donation intention, mediated by endorser credibility and anticipated guilt. The additional influences of personal involvement and moral obligation were also measured.
Contribution of health motives to cannabis use among college students

Abstract Background: The Marijuana Motives Measure (MMM) is commonly used to explore the role of motives in cannabis use and related problems. A recent study suggested that a new Health motives subscale (using cannabis to improve sleep, form, energy, appetite, health) was the strongest motive associated with problematic use among high-school students. The aim of our study was to examine the predictive value of Health motives for cannabis use among college students. Method: Participants were 328 French college students who used cannabis at least once during the last six months and completed the Cannabis Use Disorder Identification Test-Revised (CUDIT-R) assessing the severity of symptoms related to cannabis use disorder (CUD) and the Marijuana Motives Mesure (MMM). Results: Twenty-two percent reached the cutoff score for likely moderate-severe DSM-5 CUD. Multiple regression analyses showed that Health motives were the strongest predictor for the severity of symptoms related to CUD relatively to all other motives. Enhancement and Expansion were also positively associated to symptoms of CUD, far more here than in previous studies among adolescents. Conclusions: This study replicates the findings of a previous study in high-school students. Health motives were found to be a strong predictor of CUD symptoms in college and high-school students which may have implication for both prevention and treatment of cannabis use problems.
The Role of Land Reform Beneficiaries and the Reasons for Them Developing and Supporting a Satellite School in Masvingo, Zimbabwe: A Social Capital Marriage of Nhimbe and Allied Reasons

The land reform process in Zimbabwe gave birth to a new type of school known as a satellite school, which emerged due to community requests (in areas populated by land reform beneficiaries) and an inability by government to adequately fund new schools that communities required. Various studies on the emergence of satellite schools have mainly focused on the challenges faced by satellite schools. This article explores nhimbe (“work party”) and allied reasons specifically amongst the land reform beneficiaries who provide a supporting role to a satellite school in their community. This paper offers a different perspective on satellite schools from the vantage point of the land reform beneficiaries who are choosing to fill an educational gap and simultaneously nurture the development of an educational asset which they built—the satellite school. Theoretically, social capital frameworks by James Coleman (1988) and Robert Putnam (2000) are utilised to understand the relationships forged and maintained between groups of people for a greater good, in this case the land reform beneficiaries’ construction and ongoing support of one selected satellite school. Although the study’s research design adopted a multiple case study approach, we use the case of a group of land reform beneficiaries in one district for this paper. The data were elicited through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions held at one satellite school in the Masvingo district of Zimbabwe. The purposively selected participants comprised six land reform beneficiaries, two village heads and one satellite school head, making a total sample of nine participants. The study revealed that the land reform beneficiaries played a central role in the development and support of the satellite school in their community because of a marriage of interrelated reasons. These included the close proximity of their homesteads to each other which generated nhimbe, which further developed their relationships, their social networks, a sense of homage coupled with an indebtedness to the Mugabe government, shared community goals and social norms and the existing resource base (that they could access in their community). The study revealed that all these reasons for the land reform beneficiaries developing and supporting the satellite school feed off each other—they are not independent of each other. We conclude that the land reform beneficiaries have a sense of ownership of the satellite school in their community in Masvingo and they resultantly strive to use the available resources they are able to muster to develop the school so that it can be a valued asset to their community.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PHARMACOLOGICAL STRESS IN MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION SCINTIGRAPHY

Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure for assessing coronary flow in the myocardium. It is used for the detection and assessment of the extent of ischaemia and necrosis, the assessment of myocardial viability, and prognosis and risk stratification of coronary disease. The radiopharmaceuticals that are routinely used for this procedure are technetium-labelled monovalent cat ion complex Tc-sestamibi and Tc-tetrophosmine for SPECT (Single photon emission computed tomography), and Nitrogen-13 ammonium and Rubidium 82 for PET (Positron emission computed tomography).
Dalit Leadership, Collective Pride and Struggle for Social Change Among Educated Dalits: Contesting the Legitimacy of Social Class Mobility Approach

Dalit leaders have played a significant role in the lives of lower caste people. They have created a meaningful political identity for Dalits (oppressed) and inspired them in the collective movement for social change. This article critically explores three major theoretically interlinked and contested components, which are Dalit leadership, collective pride and social class mobility, and discusses the emergent categories. Participants in the present work are highly educated Dalits who take inspiration and pride from Ambedkar’s leadership and believe in the role of collective movement for social change.
Information Seeking and Information Sharing Related to Hurricane Harvey

This study is focused on social cognitive variables that motivate information seeking and information sharing related to Hurricane Harvey. Survey results from a nationally representative sample and a quota sample of Houston residents indicate that climate change beliefs and issue salience are consistent predictors of risk perception, which increases individuals’ negative emotions and information insufficiency. This need for information subsequently motivates information seeking and information sharing. Informational subjective norms are significantly related to seeking and sharing in the Houston sample, whereas perceived information gathering capacity and trust in media are significant predictors in the national sample.
International school principals: Routes to headship and key challenges of their role

Although there is an extensive literature across a range of national contexts concerning the evolving role of the school leader, little has been written about the rapidly expanding world of international school leadership. This paper focuses on the top tier of leadership of international schools by drawing on semi-structured interviews with 12 school principals in Malaysia, during which they reflected on the nature of their job and the routes they had taken to headship. It is argued that although the overwhelming majority had taken a school leadership qualification and found elements helpful, they felt that it did not adequately prepare them for their role. Several ways in which international school leadership differs significantly from educational school leadership in other contexts are identified, with principals needing to pay attention to loneliness, transience, cultural differences, governance, business elements, and managing school composition. By identifying key challenges faced by international heads, and by charting the paths that individuals take towards headship, this article seeks to understand the nature of senior leadership in international schools.
A new approach to dreams in psychotherapy: Phenomenological dream-self model

Whether it is in traditional or modern context, dreams have a special place in both psychology and psychotherapy studies. ‘The Traditional Interpretive Dream Approach’ model, which we had come across its first remains in Mesopotamia and is also the inspiration for psychoanalysis, is based on the interpretation of the symbols in the dream with the principle of reaching the hidden meaning. However, what is done with this interpretation is to move away frodm the phenomenal subjective reality of the client. Our psychotherapy practice has forced us to see this fact in time: Dreams are also experiences just like the waking experiences and a phenomenal self has its place in the center of these experiences as it has in the waking ones. We modeled the dream studies in which we take dream self in the center and we called this model as ‘Phenomenological Dream Self Model ‘(PDSM). The PDSM proposes a self-centered view and takes its theoretical background from its deepened practice. This practice also brings PDSM closer to the phenomenological view, in principle not based on the unconsciousness but on the consciousness of the dream self. There are four stages of PDSM. In the first stage the dream self-experience and in the second stage the waking selfexperience are examined. These two are compared in the third stage and in the fourth stage, the associations related to dream are examined on the basis of the phenomenology of the dream self.
Experience, common sense and expertise in workplace learning

This chapter focuses on key dimensions of workforce smartness from the perspective of workplace education by exploring three key aspects of workplace learning: experience, common sense and expertise. It is argued that experience, common sense and expertise in workplace learning are valuable in smart workforces interested in lifelong learning and successful work activity. Using the examples of two Australian workers employed in non-related industries, the author defines these three concepts, demonstrates the relevance of each one to workplace learning, and describes the interrelationships between them. In conclusion, a case is made for a socio-cultural approach as the most effective for lifelong and workplace learning.
From retweets to revolution: Evaluating planned behavior within hashtag activism and #BlackLivesMatter’

#BlackLivesMatter is a social activist movement that has developed in response to numerous killings of unarmed African Americans. The growth of this movement developed out of hashtags and social media post but has been sustained through the ground work of protest and traditional activism. Through a combination of the digital age and physical participation, activists have continued to make the issues that #BlackLivesMatter addresses relevant. The purpose of this study is to understand the attitudes and behaviors of Black social media social media users who engage with the movement and how they decide to do more than contribute content to stay trending but to understand what influences them to protest the racial injustices of the Black community. This researcher will explore the extent that followers are influenced by social media based on two theories: the theory of planned behavior and identity theory.
What are the factors affecting satisfaction and retention of care assistants in the continuously growing Irish home care industry

Background: Home care provision is a rapidly expanding market and the industry face challenges in relation to the homecare workforce. This study was designed to investigate the factors affecting satisfaction and retention of home care assistants. The study findings may help to make recommendations to management on ways to boost employee satisfaction and retention further, which will result in creating high quality care services. Methodology: A qualitative research method was used for this study. Data were collected using ten semi-structured interviews from a large franchise home care organisation in Ireland. Flexible open-ended questions were used to gain insight into the attitudes of home care assistants, along with their experiences and opinions on employee satisfaction and retention in the Irish home care industry. The participants have worked in the home care sector from between three and ten years. Findings: A thematic analysis of the data showed that the participants have factors in common, adversely affecting both employee satisfaction and retention in the Irish home care industry. The thematic data analysis identified a number of themes including undervalued in their role, under pressure in a busy environment, limited career progression, frustration, intrinsic motivation and appreciating support from the organisation. The themes encompassed both positive and negative factors towards employee satisfaction and retention. Practical and social implications: Based on the study findings, Irish home care assistants are satisfied in their current job. In keeping with previous literature, this research found that pay is still a key factor of employee satisfaction and retention, not only in relation to their salary. Greatly, care assistants felt constrained by irregular working hours, no travel allowance to and from clients and limited career progression. As a result of these factors home care organisations struggle to maintain a competent and stable workforce. Originality/value: These findings have the potential to enable human resources managers, home care organisations and policy makers to formulate strategies to satisfy and retain home care assistants who are considered vital to the strength of the Irish home care industry.
Migrant status, school segregation, and students’ academic achievement in urban China

Abstract This paper examines the role of school segregation in creating disparities in academic achievement between migrant children and their local counterparts in different urban contexts in China. Based on analyses of data from the China Educational Panel Survey (CEPS) in the 2013–2014 academic year, I show that, although migrant children performed significantly worse than local children in municipal cities directly under central government’s jurisdiction, their academic achievements were similar to those of their urban peers in non-municipal cities. The mechanisms by which school segregation influences migrant children’s education differ. In municipal cities, migrant children’s education is worse than that of non-migrant children, regardless of school quality. In non-municipal cities, however, migrant children are better off in the lowest quality schools but still worse off in medium and higher quality schools. Therefore, migrant children are disadvantaged in education, but the form and extent of the disadvantage vary according to specific urban localities, which have different policies of social exclusion and discrimination based on hukou status.
