Conference Theme:“Value and Values”
The conference theme, "Value and Values", refers to two of the fundamental questions of humanenquiry – why and how we do what we do. Focussing on them takes us back to the basics ofacademic enquiry. The focus on the Value of our area of study invokes questions of why our field
is important for us, for society, for humanity; asking us to consider why we research, teach, andengage with other research and researchers in our area; and what the benefit of our work might be,
to ourselves, to society, to the world.
Focusing on values, on the other hand, addresses our deeply held beliefs and integrity, and suggests
our intentions, how we approach our work, and demands that the process of our enquiry be asimportant as the product. Our core values may be universal, but are coloured by our social, cultural,religious, political and personal contexts.
How can the study of psychology and the behavioral sciences, as well as those of ethics, religion
and philosophy, inform each other, inform other fields, and inform our lives, from the way we lead our
individual lives, to the ways in which governments engage with their citizens, and with those fromother countries and regions?
In a world which is seeing a rise in authoritarianism, nationalism, and populism, this conference
asks us to consider “value and values”, inviting scholars from around the world to come together andengage in challenging, rigorous debate across the lines and borders of religion, creed and nation.
This conference is organised by IAFOR in association with the IAFOR Research Centre at the Osaka
School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) in Osaka University, Japan.

Letter of Welcome
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to The International Academic Forum’s 7th European
Conference series in the UK, a sequence of four events in Brightonand London over which some 600 people from more than 50
different countries will come together to share ideas, and search
for the personal, professional and research synergies that drive
new relationships, partnerships, ideas, and knowledge.
The first three smaller events will take place in the diverse,
artistic and cultural hub of Brighton, nestled between the everchanging colours of the sea and the green hills of the South
Downs, and our final and largest event will see IAFOR in thegreat city of London for the first time.
In the global political context, we are witnessing increasing authoritarianism and nationalism,
where othering, dehumanising, and policies of exclusion abound in countries which have until
recently served as more positive models of inclusion. As individual nations struggle to provide
safety and security to their own citizens, identity-based politics thrive, and the internationalrules-based system and supranational organisations such as the UN and EU are facing crisesof legitimacy, and the United Kingdom, with its ongoing Brexit saga has rarely looked so divided.
These conferences offer a timely coming together, underlining the extent to which we are lessindependent than we might sometimes think; whether individuals, communities or nations, we arereliant on those that also share our planet.
For the past ten years, IAFOR has brought people and ideas together in a variety of events andplatforms to promote and celebrate interdisciplinary study, and underline its importance. In the past
twelve months, we have engaged in many cross-sectoral projects, including those with universities(the University of Barcelona, Hofstra University, UCL, University of Belgrade and Moscow State
University), think tanks (the East-West Center, and the Asia Pacific Higher Education ResearchPartnership), as well as projects with the United Nations in New York, and most recently with
the Government of Japan through the Prime Minister’s office. With the IAFOR Research Centre
at the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) at Osaka University in Japan, we haveengaged in a number of interdisciplinary initiatives we believe will have an important impact on
domestic and international public policy conversations.
It is through our conferences that we expand our network and partnerships, and I have no doubtthat this venue will offer a remarkable opportunity for the sharing of research and best practices,
for the meeting of people and ideas. I would like to thank our global partners, and particularly
those in the UK (Sussex, Birkbeck, UCL and Lincoln universities), the Organising Committees, fortheir work in the development of the programme, the Featured and Keynote Speakers who will be
sharing their unique insights with us, and each and every one of you, for taking the decision tocome (back) to an IAFOR event.
We have so much to learn from each other, and I expect the resultant professional and personalcollaborations to endure for many years.
I look forward to meeting you all.
Dr Joseph Haldane
Chairman and CEO, IAFOR
P.S. For those of you that are active on social media, please feel free to share your conference
photos and join the conversation on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #IAFOR.

The Reverend Professor
Stuart D. B. Picken (1942–2016)
The late Reverend Professor Stuart D. B. Picken began his distinguished career in academia asa Rotary Scholar on a research trip to Japan. A native of Scotland who had dedicated himself toreligious studies, he immediately became fascinated by Japanese culture and the practice of Shinto.
He was particularly drawn to the parallels and differences he saw in Western pedagogy comparedto that of the East and began a lifelong mission to bridge the communication and knowledge gap
between the two worlds.
Picken was appointed Professor of Philosophy at the International Christian University (ICU) in
1972. Here he turned his Western theological and philosophical training to comparative religious
and cultural studies of Japan, at a time when the country was emerging from the shadows of theSecond World War.
His groundbreaking and controversial work on suicide in Japan made his name within the country,
but it was his subsequent work on Shinto that influenced the rehabilitation of the religion at a time
when it was dismissed in the West as pagan and primitive, or unjustly caricatured for its wartime
associations.
Whether in his research or teaching, Picken devoted much of his life to increasing understanding
between his adopted country of Japan and the West, and in 2007 he was recognised with the Order of
the Sacred Treasure, an imperial decoration for his pioneering research and outstanding contribution
to the promotion of friendship and mutual understanding between Japan and the United Kingdom.
He also served as the International Adviser to the High Priest of the Tsubaki Grand Shrine, one ofJapan’s largest and oldest shrines.
From 2009 he was the founding Chairman of The International Academic Forum (IAFOR), where he
was highly active in helping nurture and mentor a new generation of academics, and facilitating
better intercultural and international awareness and understanding.
Stuart D. B. Picken was a cherished friend and an inspiration to IAFOR and its community of
supporters. In honour of Professor Picken and his dedication to academia, the ideals of intercultural
understanding and the principles of interdisciplinary study, IAFOR has created the Stuart D. B. Picken
Grant and Scholarship, an award supported by the Stuart D. B. Picken Memorial Fund. Awards are
made to PhD students and early career academics who are in need of funding to complete theirresearch, and whose work demonstrates excellence in the core values of academic rigour, intercultural
sensitivity and interdisciplinarity.

Sin and Sin Offering as Sacred Space Among the Nigerian Sabbatharians: An Ethical Reflection
Chigozie Nwaka, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Reverend Nwaka is currently pursuing a Doctorate Degree in Church History, with deep interest in African
Christianity, at the Department of Religious and Cultural Studies, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
Reverend Nwaka has a Master's Degree in Church History and Bachelor’s Degree in Religion from thesame institution. Chigozie’s research interest and papers have largely focused on the trend that has
led to what is termed today as World Christianity. Although he is a serving clergy under Our Lord's
Sabbath Mission, his interest in academics, and particularly African Christianity, is spurred by the recent
developments in the historiography of Christianity; which has seen a shift in Christian dominance fromthe Northern hemisphere to the Global South - Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania.

Difficult Conversations:
Respecting Values & Changing Behaviors
Friday, July 05 | 10:15-11:00 | Renaissance Hall

Regardless of our respective professions, or the dynamics involved in our interactions with the
networks of family, friends and community that comprise our personal lives, at some point, we allmust engage in difficult conversations. Delivering ‘bad news,’ arguing an alternative approach toaddressing a problem, or engaging in conversation with people who are highly emotional can certainly
be challenging. For many, these situations are, at a minimum, uncomfortable; at their more extreme,
these situations may be perceived as dreadful. However, identifying and considering the valuesof others with whom you are communicating can be a crucial step toward reaching a resolution.
Incorporating lessons from fields as diverse as medicine, business, education, communication
sciences, and psychology, Dr Szarkowski will distill the evidence into powerful ‘take home messages.’
Audience members will benefit from learning how to better engage in difficult conversations in orderto obtain their desired results.

Valuing Religion

Friday, July 05 | 11:00-11:45 | Renaissance Hall

What place does religion have in 21st century societies, and why should we study it academically,rather than confessionally? Why are religious views protected under law, and what are the limitsof free speech critiquing or attacking religion? How fit-for-purpose are educational approaches toreligions, and why is it important to be “religiously literate” in the modern world?
In this paper, I will use new approaches to the academic Study of Religion to analyse and explore
the multi-faceted experiences of religious people, critics of religion, and scholars of religion
as they each test and contest the boundaries of their worldviews and values. Using the Living
Religion approach, which preferences people over texts, practices over beliefs, I will examine
real-life instances of religious values leading to actions that often put individuals at odds withmajority societal views, and even sometimes the law. I will analyse the implicit value-judgements
in definitions of religion in UK equality laws and education curriculae, and trace a history of
ridicule and attack by non-religious public intellectuals who, in so doing, display their own values
and worldviews. I will conclude with observations upon the current state of public discourse andscholarship on religion, noting the problem of the preferencing of confessional approaches overacademic approaches by many public bodies and institutions.

Practise What You Preach?
Views on Values from Social Psychology
Friday, July 05 | 13:30-14:15 | Renaissance Hall

In this talk I will take a social psychology perspective on values. I will first address how values aredefined and structured. The main part of the talk will focus on the question how values relate tobehaviour. We are all too familiar with a gap between our values and our behaviours: we don't always
practise what we preach. I will discuss a range of viewpoints and factors which may explain why thatis the case, and conditions under which behaviours are more likely to be in line with our values. This
brings us to the relationship between values and the self, what it means to adhere to a value, andhow this may be important in making behaviour change interventions more effective.

In keeping with this mission, and in appreciation of the great value of photography as a mediumthat can be shared across borders of language, culture and nation, and to influence and inform
our academic work and programmes, the IAFOR Documentary Photography Award was launched
as a competition that would help underline the importance of the organisation’s aims, and would
promote and recognise best practices and excellence. In support of up-and-coming talent, the
IAFOR Documentary Photography Award is free to enter.
Now in its fifth year, the award has already been widely recognised by those in the industry and has

Influence of Stress on Daily Sexual Life Desires & Functioning of Adult Men, a Study of Internal & External Stressors
Yas Knegt, Universiteit Leiden, Netherlands

Stress, although shown to have tremendous influence on the psyche & overall health, has not been studied with relation to men andtheir daily life & sexual functioning. Literature research is done here on the influence of stress on daily sexual functioning & problemsof men: the level of sexual activity, sexual contentment & satisfaction, and sexual desires & functioning is studied, this being a learning
experience to further understand whether to build conclusions upon physical or psychological indicators in the case of sexual functioning& satisfaction in men. The studied literature in this case showed internal & external stress to be the base for understanding the idea ofstress; internal stress in the case of sexual functioning in men being stress within marital interaction & inter human conflicts, not somuch diseases, feelings, thoughts or expectations but whether the stress is within a home situation or 'outside' (daily hassles/ versus
critical life events, work trauma etc) Conclusion: sexual activity higher among unmarried couples; sexual desires & activity heightening
with more daily stress, yet within marriages daily hassles having a Negative effect on sexual life. A possible topic of discussion is how
these heightened sexual desires manifest, for example by seeking more extramarital experience, online dating, pornography, with possible
negative influence on relationships & sexual experience as a whole. None of this shows a significant negative effect on sexual functioning,with minor difference between homosexual & heterosexual men which can be a topic of interest for further studies.

Seon Ok Kim, Konkuk University, South Korea
Ha Ram Kim, Konkuk University, South Korea
Sin Ae Park, Konkuk University, South Korea

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of a horticultural activity program on the improvement of eating habits of urban
elementary students in Seoul, South Korea. A total of 208 elementary school students (average age: 11.6 ± 1.5 years) participated inthis study. The 12-session horticultural activity program developed based on the child’s eating habit improvement mediator model andgardening activities, nutritional education, and culinary activities using harvests were included. The program was conducted in outdoor
gardens of schools during the regular school hours (once a week, 40 minutes per session) in the period of April to July 2018. In order toexamine the effects of the horticultural activity program for the students participated, the mediating factors related to eating habits were
evaluated by questionnaires before and after the program. In addition, mineral contents test was conducted by using hair samples of thestudents before and after the program to know the nutritional status change. As a result, dietary self-efficacy, outcome expectancies,
gardening knowledge, nutrition knowledge, food neophobia, fruits and vegetables preference, and fruits and vegetables intakes ofstudents were significantly improved (P = 0.05). The content of heavy metals (mercury and arsenic) in the hair samples of students was
significantly decreased after participating in the horticultural activity program (P = 0.05). Accordingly, the horticultural activity program
was effective in improving eating habits of elementary students in this study. This study shows applicability of horticultural activity
program as a diet education program for children in actual education field.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of a horticultural activity program for psycho-emotional stability in elementary school
students. A total of 150 elementary school students (4th grade), Seoul, South Korea participated in this study. 75 students were in theexperimental group who participated in the 12-session horticultural activity program (once a week, 50 minutes per session) during
the regular school hours. Other 75 students were in the control group. The 12-session horticultural activity program based on social
emotional learning which is a part of the Strong Kids program was developed for the effects of psycho-emotional stability of elementary
school students. In order to verify the effects of the program, we evaluated the depression, self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, resilience,and peer relationship of the students participated before and after the horticultural activity program by using questionnaires. Moreover,the cortisol measurement test was performed by using saliva sampling of the students to know the changes of stress condition. As
the results, most of the variables such as depression, self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence were significantly improved after thehorticultural activity program in the experimental group. This study shows a potential of horticultural activity program for improving
psycho-emotional stability of urban elementary students.

In the globalization era, it is undeniable that more and more people are forgetting the traditions of their native regions. Ngrebeg Mekotek
is one of the traditions that continues to this day. This study focuses on knowing the relationship between personality, commitment
and engagement of the perpetrators of the Ngrebeg Mekotek tradition. WarpPLS is a development of PLS analysis that can be used todetermine the influence of relationships between variables. This study uses primary data obtained from distributing questionnaires to theperpetrators of the Ngrebeg Mekotek tradition using judgement sampling techniques. The results of the analysis using WarpPLS found apositive relationship between personality with commitment, commitment to the engagement of the perpetrators of the Ngrebeg Mekotek
tradition, and personality to the engagement of the perpetrators of the Ngrebeg Mekotek tradition. Based on this relationship, it can beseen that personality variable have a greater contribution than the commitment variable towards the engagement of the perpetrators of
the Ngrebeg Mekotek tradition.

Path analysis is one of the multivariate analysis techniques and development of regression analysis developed by Sewall Wright in 1934.
The vertical garden technique is one of the greening techniques that can be applied in green building. Vertical garden is an upright garden
concept, namely plants and other garden elements arranged in such a way in an upright field. In this study the author wants to findout what factors influence the interest of the people of Bendosari Village in building a vertical garden. The data used in this study are
primary data with respondents from the Bendosari Village community from Cukal, Dadapan Wetan, Dadapan Kulon, Ngprih and Tretes.
The method used is path analysis with the Weighted Least Square (WLS) method as an estimator of its parameters. The WLS method isused to overcome (heterogeneous) error constants in the data obtained. The results of this study indicate that the attitudes, intentions
and behavior of the Bendosari Village community in constructing vertical gardens are significantly influenced by Perception of Benefits,
Influence of Social Environment and Motivation. Whereas the Perception of Ease of Development does not affect the attitudes, intentions,and behavior of the Bendosari Village community in building a vertical garden significantly. This shows that the Bendosari Village
community is a reliable and competent community because the Bendosari Village community tends to ignore the view that whether afacility is easy or difficult to make before building it.

The Curative Potential of Human Relationships: The Functions and Treatment of Self-Harm in Personality
Disordered Offenders
Vladislava Susanina, West London NHS Foundation Trust, United Kingdom

The available literature on deliberate self-harm (DSH) within offender populations has largely focused on the characteristics of people
who use this behaviour rather than its functions and how they are managed within treatment settings. This study explored the functionsof DSH as well as the mechanisms and processes addressing this problem within a hospital-based therapeutic community (TC) for
personality disordered (PD) offenders. The study conducted a secondary data analysis using information collected prior to and during thetreatment process. It included a total of thirty-one participants with a history of DSH, some of which had continued to use this behaviour
during their admission. A Thematic Analysis was employed in the process of interpreting the data. Overall, four main themes emerged.
Those engaging in DSH appeared to be struck in an internal conflict which was an overarching theme. Patients were split between theirneed for and fear of relationships. DSH appeared to resolve this conflict while also being a resistance against thinking and change. The
themes relating to the treatment processes were: the importance of belonging, permissiveness and challenge, and empowerment. The
TC’s capacities to provide a secure and supportive environment, tolerate but challenge difficult periods, and empower patients werecrucial aspects of treatment. Overall, the TC model was an effective intervention. However, not all patients improved, thus considerationneeds to be given as to who is able to engage and when the best time to start treatment is.

Study of Entrepreneurial Competencies: Project Derived From Scoping Review and Content Analysis of Literature
Mirna Elizabeth Quezada, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico
Cynthia Zaira Vega Valero, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico
Carlos Nava Quiroz, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico

The entrepreneurship has recently been boosted by a vast network of stakeholders interested in economic growth based on competition
that involves a globalized world (Tangarife et al., 2015, Santos et al., 2013). Psychology is among those and it has a huge contribution
to the study of the phenomenon being the most fruitful discipline in terms of research dedicated to entrepreneurship just before themanagement science (Ireland & Webb, 2007). Objective: Present the main results of the Scoping Review and content analysis techniqueof the international psychology literature about entrepreneurship to define the study of entrepreneurial behavior based on a competence
framework of the Tuning Project. Method: A Scoping Review was conducted in addition with a Content Analysis of the identified literature(Virgen Ortiz et al., 2014, Arbeláez & Onrubina, 2014). A search was made in Scopus obtaining a total of 1,351 scientific texts, and after
applying inclusion and exclusion criteria a sample of 532 scientific papers on entrepreneurship from psychology were finally analyzed.
Results: The scientific texts were distributed from 1980 to March 2018 with 61% of all scientific production from 2011 to March 2018,
the countries with the largest contribution from psychology were USA with 33%, Spain 11%, UK and Germany with 9%, among others.
Latin America doesn’t figure in the top 10. The most approached research lines were distinguished, among which competences inentrepreneurship was identified as an area of opportunity for psychology. Present analysis allows to put forward a research projectfocused on generic competences for entrepeneurship.

Psychological Assessment – Protection or Threat to Mental Integrity?
Dorota Bednarek, SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Poland

This presentation explores the ethics of psychological assessment, a slightly omitted aspect of ethics related to health and wellbeing
protection. It brings a unique perspective to this issue—the relevance of focusing on client’s integrity instead of purely professional efficacy.
Planning and implementation of psychological assessment is a complex task and theoretical and practical efforts are concentrated on
effective ways that bring the best results. Interestingly, psychologists frequently discuss the adverse impact of interference on physicalintegrity but neglect intrusions to emotional or mental integrity in their own practice. As privacy becomes more and more vulnerable
to attacks on social media and the Internet, the transgression of privacy via psychological tools as tests and questionnaires become
undervalued. Psychological measurements however, are powerful technological means designed to withdraw sensitive information
without control of the subject. I provide a brief overview of legal and ethical aspects of value and need of protection of psychologicalintegrity, discuss the relationship between privacy and integrity, review relatively scarce references to minimalization of intrusion in
ethical codes of prominent psychological associations, bring examples of good/bad practice of subject’s integrity handling, and offer
considerations for the development of a policy or guideline. This topic is especially relevant to those interested in ethical issues ofpsychological practice defined as health service and constitutes a voice in the discussion on privacy protection in technological world.

Values Reflected in Students’ Language Use in a Blended Learning Environment
Shantini Karalasingam, University of Nottingham Malaysia, Malaysia

Values show who we are as individuals, the beliefs we uphold, and the principles we defend as they influence our thoughts and actions.
These values are portrayed not only through actions but also through the language we use to communicate with one another. The role oflanguage in communication is imperative because the ‘how’ and ‘why’ a particular word/phrase is used significantly indicate more sensethan the meaning of the word alone. My study examined students’ values in their language use in two different modes of communication,
which is spoken and written in a blended learning environment. The spoken sessions were face-to-face and the written sessions were
through the online forum discussions. The emerging values revealed in the participants’ language use were based on Schwartz’ (1992,2012) Basic Human Values Theory. The study was a qualitative one that employed purposeful sampling using data collected throughclassroom observations, online forum entries, and interviews. The data was analysed using discourse analysis and thematic analysis tofacilitate the identification of the values and the reasons for using a particular word/phrase that reflected values. Since the interpretationof values is subjective, 2 stages of blind inter-rating were conducted using Cohen’s Kappa Statistics for reliability. Based on the findings,
the values revealed in the participants’ language use indicated social values like politeness, tolerance, and being inclusive. However,personal values also played equal importance in the social setting and occasionally contributed to the students’ social values.

Values as Mental Models: A Pragmatist Reconstruction

Christopher Gohl, Weltethos-Institut at the University of Tuebingen, Germany
My paper starts with (I.) the premise from a literature review that though values research is high in multi-disciplinary approaches, it is low ininterdisciplinary agendas, and remains marked by great conceptual ambiguity in regard to modeling values and norms, their genesis and efficacy.
While the concept of “values” will likely always be a contested concept, the intention to integrate various nodes and strands of interdisciplinary
values research through an inclusive and consistent conception of values remains desirable not the least as bridge for a global dialogue on
values. With that intention, my paper will (II.) propose a pragmatist conception of values, understood as a certain kind of mental models. Building
on John Dewey’s epistemology and understanding of experience, morality, conduct and culture; on Hans Lenk’s understanding of values asinterpretative constructs; and on Hans Joas’ conceptual framework of the genesis of values as emotionally charged notions of the desirable,
I propose to conceive of values and norms as schemata and scripts the subject of which are desirable qualities of experiences of conduct. As
schemata and scripts are cognitive structures configuring the attributes of a concept in a certain relations, they guide perception, interpretation,
memory and inference. For example, the value of justice might be modeled as a cognitive structure configuring attributes of appropriatenessin interaction, to be enriched and specified by cognitive units signifying equality, civility, distribution, or else. My conclusion (III.) points out
important consequences of such an understanding of values, especially for our Global Ethic Project agenda.

Teachers play a major role when it comes to teaching values in schools. However, the perspective of these people about the teachingvalues has not been considered in studies involving values. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the teachers’ perspectives invalues education. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 56 teachers from 28 junior high school in the Belitung Regency, Indonesia.
The data collected were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman’s interactive techniques. The results identified two categories of people,
namely ones with positive experience-based and ones with negative experience-based values. Furthermore, the following four important
findings were obtained on analyzing these categories: (1) value is an important factor for teachers in carrying out their professional duties
in both categories; (2) the majority of teachers in the positive experience-based category recognize the values from their mothers, literaryworks, and few from their former teachers, while teachers in the other category obtain values from their teachers and a few from theirfamily life; (3) the way teachers recognize value impacts on how they teach it to students; (4) the undergraduate education experienced byprospective teachers at the university does not provide the needed competency in teaching values to the students.

Workshop Presentation: Valued Living Through Mindfulness
Monica Sharma, The IIS University, India

The workshop will focus on application of mindfulness in relation to values. Values because they are the activities that one believes are importantand give meaning to life. They are like a personal lighthouse guiding an individual towards authentic self. Identifying one’s own values andmoving towards them causes one to feel more satisfied, when one connects with their values, they are able to move in a meaningful direction,even in difficult experiences. Not knowing one’s values is like not knowing the direction one want to travel in. Living in alignment with values
requires constant mindfulness. Values are, in fact, mindfulness in action! Mindfulness is established techniques that help restore balance inpersonal life. It is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing and not overly reactive or overwhelmedby what’s going on around us. It is through mindfulness in daily life that one lives his/her values and it is through the consistent upholding ofvalues, that one is able to become more mindful! In this workshop participants will explore their values through mindfulness. The aim of thisworkshop is to provide more of a practical understanding of mindfulness as an intervention and skills to therapists who would like to develop
a personal practice and apply mindfulness with their clients in clinical and non-clinical settings. I will help participants to explore their values
through mindfulness skill apart from hands on experience of different modes of mindfulness meditation, assessment, researches etc.

Xu Fu-guan’s Education Concept

Wen-shu Huang, Shu-te University, Taiwan
Xu Fu-guan (1904-1982) was born in Xishui, Hubei, province of China. He is recognized as one of the representative figures of thesecond-generation of contemporary new Confucianism. Being follower of Xiong Shili, Xu Fu-guan yearned for Yangming school of mind,
demonstrating moral conscience and showcasing significant meanings in modern ethical life, value choice, social and political improvement,
and education and culture establishment. Xu Fu-guan's Education Concepts can be summarized into the following three aspects. First, He
advocates the implementation of moral education from the ""heart"". He emphasizes the importance of moral conscience being the key to theright attitude towards ethical life, choice of values, and moral behaviors, and moral conscience can be achieved only through self-reflection.
Secondly, he advocates the independence of education and self-learning. He opposes the ""planned education"" policy of the government
at the time from the standpoint of liberal and democratic education, and applies the concept of “plan economy” to Education. Thirdly, hestresses the self-conscious education and personality development. He called on and encouraged college students to be conscious and go
beyond secular interests. Xu Fu-guan's achievements in education are substantiated in the following three parts: Firstly, he established theChinese Literature Department of Tunghai University and make it reach its peak. Secondly, he has written a wealth of academic works andcritical articles, which are of great value to the academic circle. Thirdly, he cultivated a number of outstanding disciples.

Does Religious Education Make a Distinctive Contribution to Values Education? A Mixed Method Exploratory Case Study
Mukaddes Zikra Tanriverdi Gokceli, Brunel University London, United Kingdom

After the introduction of Fundamental British Values (FBV) in 2014, values education (VE) has become a hot topic in academic debates in
the UK. Values, in addition to citizenship, SMSC, as well as PSHE, are expected to be taught in other subject areas, especially in Religious
education (RE) as FBV includes “mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs” (DfE, 2014). This study aimed to
examine whether RE makes a considerable contribution to VE and explore the views of RE teachers about teaching values in their classes
in English schools. In VE, just as in RE, there are concerns about the relationship between inculcation and the development of children’sautonomous decision-making. This paper firstly considers from a theoretical point of view four possible approaches to teaching values
within RE: teaching for commitment, teaching about values, teaching from religions, and alternatively teaching to clarify one’s own
justifications. This is followed by a report of the empirical part of the study which consists of an online survey with 44 teachers andfollow-up interviews with eight teachers has been done. The results show that RE teachers see the VE as part of their role, as a teacher,and their subject area. They articulated that RE provides many opportunities to discuss morals and values as it provides an opportunity
to explore the diversity of religious and non-religious worldviews, and the values and manners of the religions.

Re – Exported Korean Buddhist Monastic Education: A Case Study in Kwan Um Teacher Training and Certification
Hugh Schuckman, University of Utah, United States

Educational import in Buddhist education is not new, but rather a central part of the hybrid nature of Buddhist curriculums and teacher
certification. In the case of Korean Buddhism's Jogye order, the largest among South Korea’s schools of Seon (Zen) Buddhism, theleadership has made great efforts to propagate their form of Buddhist practices both home and abroad (Senecel, 2011). A prominent
example is the Kwan Um School, an internationally focused branch of the Jogye order, which designated their world headquarters as
Providence, Rhode Island and changed their leadership structure to include English speaking non - monastic Zen Masters (Ford, 2006).
In terms of curriculum, unlike other less internationally oriented Korean monastic orders, the Kwan Um order uses an imported style ofpublic “Dharma Transmission,” or Inka ceremonies used to test and certify monastic teachers (Bodiford, 1991). Kwan Um ceremonies
places a special emphasis on intermediary titles (below the degree of “Seon/Zen Master”) to the certification process as well as conferring
teaching degrees to lay practitioners (Sungsahn & Hyongak, 1997). Based on the model of selective import and hybridity set forth in Gita
Steiner-Khamsi and Ines Stolpes’(2006) key text Educational Import, this research explores the archives of Kwan Um Inka ceremonies
from 1990 to 2018 in order to re-frame the ways we understand the degree of curriculum and cultural hybridity present in contemporary
re-exported Korean Kwan Um Buddhist teacher training and teacher certification ceremonies.

Dual Practice of Chan and Pure Land, Promoting Pure Land in Human Realm, and Emphasizing Social Care
Min-chieh Chiu, National Tainan University, Taiwan

The development of Taiwanese Buddhism in Japanese-rule period is a reform period of driving out the old and bringing in the new, movingfrom old-fashion and decay to modernity. The waves of Buddhist reform attempt to raise the quality of Buddhist belief and education. The
general situation of Buddhism in Taiwan during that period of time is the encounter between Chinese Buddhism and Japanese Buddhism.
The Buddhist problems as a result of their mutual inspiration, collision and conflict naturally become the issue of focus for the religious belief.
It’s also a precious page in the history of Buddhist exchange in East Asia. In Japanese-rule period, among the Chinese monks who cameto Taiwan to propagate the Buddhist teachings, the ones drawing more attention are Master Huiquan, Master Yuanying, Master Taixu, andMaster Huiyun. At that time, the five Taiwanese elites including those studying in Komazawa University, Japan, Gao Zhi-de, Li Tian-chun,Zeng Jing-lai, and Lin Qiu-wu, and the one who didn’t study abroad, Lin De-lin, were all deeply influenced by Nukariya Kaiten, the monk andBuddhist scholar of Cao Dongzong of Japan. Under the impact of Chinese Buddhism and Japanese Buddhism, the Buddhist ideological reform
launched by the local Buddhist elites of Taiwanese Buddhism mainly focuses on these perspectives: opposing the dual practice of Chan andPure Land, promoting Pure Land in human realm, and emphasizing social care. In brief, the development of Taiwanese Buddhism during
Japanese-rule period had gradually improved in three aspects mentioned above and kept moving forward and entering the modern stage.

How Does Perceived Severity and Susceptibility Influence Individual Cognition? Investigating the Theoretical
Basis of the ‘Threat’ Construct in Alternative Contexts
Madelyn Pardon, James Cook University, Australia
Anne Swinbourne, James Cook University, Australia
Connar McShane, James Cook University, Australia

Contemporary research has focused on cognitive factors' influence on behaviour change. Health psychology models such as the Extended
Parallel Process Model (EPPM), comprised of threat, self-efficacy and response-efficacy constructs, have been successful in predicting healthbehaviours. Little research has been conducted on how this model can be applied to the environmental context. The project focused on water
sustainability practices within the Townsville region (North Queensland, Australia) whose water supply was under threat at the time of research.
A survey was formulated based on the EPPM constructs and a sample of 363 participants were recruited. A hierarchical multiple regression was
conducted to examine if the constructs within the EPPM as well as demographic variables were predictors of water conservation behaviour.
Results found gender, age and the three EPPM constructs were significant predictors of higher levels of water saving behaviour. This researchdemonstrates the applicability of the EPPM in the environmental context, however the conceptual differences between health and environmental
threats should be considered. There is currently no clarity around the theoretical composition of 'threat' and how it plays to one's intentions
to act in this context. The second part of this research considered this issue. The research focused on exploring proximal, social, temporaland hypothetical distance to measure threat severity and what is susceptible to the negative outcomes of the threat, in terms of individual,
community and global effects. This research thus provides further understanding of the construct of 'threat' and its relationship to behaviour.

Behavioral Consistency: Is Organic Consumption a Door-opener for Engagement for Nature?
Andreas Bauer, Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences, Germany
Klaus Menrad, Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences, Germany

In the last decades, there have been major investigations in order to understand consistent pro-environmental behavior. Previous studies indicatedvalues (e.g. environmental and altruistic values) as cross-situational motivators for consistent pro-environmental behavior. By contrast, recent
research found that environmental goals did not positively mediate the relationship between successive pro-environmental behaviors. Also,
research has shown that moral licensing did counteract the motivation for consistent pro-environmental behavior. Hence, in order to enhance theunderstanding on that topic, we focus on the effects of priming by exposure on monetary donations for projects which are simultaneously good fornature and society and on the actual consumption of innovative sustainable products made from bioplastics. Thereby, we consider environmental,
altruistic and egoistic values as mediators of the relationship between priming by exposure and donations and sustainable consumption.
Furthermore, we assume that also past pro-environmental behavior and further factors (e.g. morality) are crucial for the explanation of behavioral(in)consistency. Therefore, we also consider these factors in the applied mediation analysis. At the European Conference on Psychology & theBehavioral Sciences, we want to present the results of our laboratory experiment (n=226) conducted in December 2017. Specifically, we want
to show the results of our statistical analysis concerning the indirect and direct effects of priming by exposure on donations and sustainableconsumption for the full sample and for subgroups. Finally, the results will be discussed and policy implications will be outlined.

Redesigning Human Minds in the Post-modern Era
Rhoda Tayag, Holy Angel University, Philippines

Due to the influence of the industrial revolution in the modern era, human minds have been programmed to be isolated from the place
where we live. The modern era designed human minds with factory,disposable mindsets-fragmented, linear, individualistic, materialistic,
and short-term. The call of this post-modern era is a radical change in human minds – to think in terms of wholes, cycles, systems,
networks, relationships, integration, partnership, collaboration and sustainability. Solid waste management is more than about managing
environmental pollution. It is about transformation of “mindsets” which can influence a place in creating a new system of living that isbased on the principles of ecology.The result of the community-based solid waste management project piloted in 5 secondary publicschools and 1 pilot community in the Local Government Unit of San Simon reveals that our own places reflect our value system and ourvalue system is influenced by our mindsets. When we redesign human minds similar to nature, we can live sustainably in our own places.
We can transform mindsets of residents of particular places by awakening their spirit through place-based consciousness.

Environmental Engagement and Spirituality in the Context of Religious Disaffiliation

Marie Briguglio, University of Malta, Malta
Teresa Garcia-Munoz, University of Granada, Spain
Shoshana Neuman, Bar-Ilan University, Israel
The relationship between religion and environmental attitudes/behaviour has long been philosophically debated. One question receiving scholarly
attention in quantitative social science is whether Judeo-Christian religions have an inherently negative effect on environmental concern, given theirpremise that humanity has dominion over nature, or conversely whether they stimulate environmental protection, given their ethic of stewardship.
Empirical results are diverse and the relationship seems to vary in size and direction, depending on definitions and the method of investigation
adopted. But an important phenomenon which has received far less attention (arguably because it is harder to measure) is that of spirituality, within/out the context of a religion. The phenomenon seems to be growing in empirical relevance in Western societies as more individuals move away frominstitutionalized, formalized (and perhaps compromised) forms of religion. This paper contributes to the literature by examining the prospect thatspirituality offers an important predictor of environmentalism, employing nationally representative data (n=1057) from Malta, a predominantly Roman
Catholic European Union country where religious participation is in decline. The dataset includes measures of religiosity, spirituality, environmental
engagement and relevant socio-economic co-determinants. Our findings confirm the usual co-determinants of environmental engagement (e.g.
education) and detect a positive link between some types of environmental engagement and religious engagement. We further find spirituality,
whether or not combined with religious participation to be a strong predictor of environmental engagement. In the context of increasing religious
disaffiliation, the prospect that spiritual processes beget environmental engagement may be a positive one for improved environmental outcomes.

Sin and Sin Offering as Sacred Space Among the Nigerian Sabbatharians: An Ethical Reflection
Chigozie Nwaka, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria

Every traditional society had inherent indigenous patterns through which its values and morals were maintained. The world has become
a global village where through the powers of the ICT, almost everything is crossing borders. The walls of ethical values and morality
seem tottering, even as societies adjust and readjust through institutions in the fight back to equilibrium. Religion remains a propelling
instrument in this endeavour. For the Sabbath Church in Nigeria, and as obtained in Igbo worldview too, values entail sacred spaces heldin awe, which can as well be de-sacralized, and re-sacralized. Consequently, the Sabbath Church, an African Instituted Church, throughits robust theology on sin and sin offering has developed some principles for the evaluation and restoration of value and values. This
paper focuses on the Sabbath Church’s liturgy on ethical values and morality. When the peace and harmony of the society is distorted
consequent upon a breach of the law, how does the theology of the Sabbath church advocate and guide into the restoration of theorder? Adopting a historico-theological approach, this paper goes beyond unveiling sin and sin offering in the Sabbath church doctrinalpractices, to advocate for a hyphenated home-grown ideology in defining and sustaining the values of a society. It contends that a
sweeping generalization on ethical procedure across cultures would end up breeding formless and empty individuals and societies.

Wahbah Al-Zuhayli on International Relations: An Analysis
Syed Hamid Farooq Bukhari, University of Gujrat, Pakistan

Wahbah Al-Zuḥaylī (1932-2015) has extensively and considerably enriched Islamic laws and legal jurisprudential through many ofhis speeches and his books which deal broadly with various ramifications of Islamic cultures. Most of all, his preaching as erudite andpar excellences scholar on many topics of relevance of Muslims, not only in Middle East but all over the world. He argued that religious
compulsion to follow Sunni edicts is not compulsory for faithful, this sect’s constituents are free to follow four validated Sunni edicts, andeven this is not compulsory as long as one follows competent Islamic jurist. This is not religiously binding but faithful need to follow theteachings of jurists, especially when one is not clear of the laws. His laws even go to the extent of permitting these people to follow the rulesof other laws, as long as it is posits and supports genuine and accurate laws. Zuḥaylī’s views and perspectives on relationships between
Muslims and others are based on mutual respect, brotherhood and universal understanding. He argued using war only as weapon of lastresort and particularly, using Jihād only when Muslims in free world are victims of aggression, either individually or collectively. Zuḥaylī also
claimed to be used as help and succour for victims of injustice and lawlessness and in particular, to be used only for self-defence and to ward
off attacks on the suzerainty, integrity and autonomy of one’s Homeland. Besides, he strongly opposed targeting unarmed, innocent civilian
targeting, was against gaining spoils during warfare and was against forceful conversion into Islam by powerful people.

11:30-12:00 | Tennyson (2F)The Possibility of the Religious and Cultural Information as a New Added-value of Olive Oil
Tamaki Kitagawa, University of Tsukuba, Japan

Olive and olive oil is traditionally strongly connected to religious cultures in the Mediterranean countries across Greek, Roman,
Christian, Islam and the other indigenous cultures. Based on such cultural backgrounds, the promotion strategy to enhance theconsumption of olive oil with religious cultural images has already appeared among the Mediterranean olive oil producers. However,is it possible to share this kind of area-limited images of olive in the Mediterranean region in the global food market? This study
examines the religious cultural images of olive that are originally local can be positive attributes to differentiate a product globally byan internet survey to explore the Willingness to pay of Japanese consumers. The results showed the religious cultural information has
a clear impact on the consumers’ choice of pilgrimage olive oil, and the consumers are willing to pay a premium of pilgrimage olive oil
between 141 and 946 JPY. Concerning the results of the cross effect, the high level of education seems to be generally related to thehigh level of tolerance and understanding on cultural and religious values. On the other hand, high level of age and number of children
tend to avoid religious and cultural value, possibly because both aged people and those with children try to keep conservative andstandardized products to be chosen than palatable and characteristic products. With these results, I confirmed the availability of thereligious cultural information as a new added-value of local food influencing consumers across the cultural and religious boundaries.

and self-esteem
Andero Teras, University of Tartu, Estonia
Anni Tamm, University of Tartu, Estonia
Tiia Tulviste, University of Tartu, Estonia

In recent years, value-differentiation – the level of inconsistency in value priorities across distinct life contexts – has gained someinterest (Daniel et al., 2012). We had two main questions: how much value-differentiation adolescents' experience (opposing the theory
saying that values transcend specific situations (Schwartz, 1992)) and how it relates with adolescents' relationships and self-esteem.
484 Estonian adolescents (62.4% girls; mean age of sample = 16.28, SD = 0.49) rated the importance of self-direction, achievement,
conformity, benevolence, and hedonism values in the context of a student, a family member, and an Estonian. Adolescents also
filled out self-esteem and relationship quality questionnaires. The results showed that adolescents attached a different degree ofimportance to the same value in different contexts. Value-differentiation was most evident in terms of conformity. One of our main
results is that value-differentiation is associated with whether parents dedicate their time to talking with their children. We find that
this knowledge is something that could be beneficial for teachers, parents, psychologists, and for adolescents themselves.

and Psychological Well-being in Taiwanese Youths
Ya-Hsin Lai, University of Bath, United Kingdom
Sam Carr, University of Bath, United Kingdom

Attachment characteristics have recently been considered as context-specific structures. No research to date has explored how
context-specific variability within a child-parent relationship is in relation to youths’ psychological outcomes in a contextual andglobal level. In this present article, two cross-sectional studies were designed (1) to develop and validate context-specific attachment
scales in Traditional-Chinese, and (2) to examine fluctuations in within-parent attachment security between the contexts of sport
and academics, in relation to global attachment patterns and indicators of psychological well/ill-being. A cross-sectional study was
employed in a sample of 385 youth athletes (age range = 9 – 17 years; 84% boys, Mage = 13.65 ± 2.46) in Taiwan. Results indicated that
CAS has a good fit for both versions of sport (CAS-S) (χ2 (13) = 39.89, p< .001; CFI = 0.97; RMSEA = 0.07, .78 and .79 for two-solution
factor of security and insecurity) and academics (CAS-A) (χ2 (18) = 36.44, p< .01; CFI = 0.99; RMSEA = 0.05; .85 and .71 for two-solution
factor of security and insecurity). Furthermore, youth can and do perceive within-parent attachment patterns differently depending
upon context but that the relationship of such differences to context-specific outcomes is complex. Of particular interest was thatthe degree of within-parent attachment variability between contexts was clearly and negatively related to indices of psychologicalwellbeing (e.g., global and context-specific psychological need satisfaction and need frustration, self-concept, depression symptom).
This suggests that contextual variation may be a meaningful and useful way to explore within-parent attachment fluctuation.

Rhenan Estacio, Centro Escolar University & City College of Angeles, Philippines

The research was about the compassion fatigue and its contributing factors among ninety-two (92) guidance counselors. This study
aimed to explore variables which were factors of compassion fatigue analyzing work-related factors, personality traits, and demographic
factors utilizing the following instruments: Professional Quality of Life scale (ProQOLs), NEO PI-R, and Demographic questionnaire. The
study focused on different schools in Central Luzon - Region 3, Philippines. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression stepwise
method was utilized in the study. Findings indicated that participants were describe to have low levels of burnout and low levels of
secondary trauma stress as elements of compassion fatigue. Personality traits of the participants were described to have low levelof neuroticism; average levels of extraversion; average levels of openness to experience; high level of agreeableness; and high levelsof conscientiousness. Multiple regression stepwise method confirmed personality trait neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness as
predictor of burnout with a variability of 40%. Likewise, salary as work-related factor confirmed to be predictor of burnout with a variabilityof 4.7%. Similarly, personality trait neuroticism is confirmed to predict secondary trauma stress with a variability of 21.9%. Based on thetwo elements of compassion fatigue, neuroticism was found out to be the best predictor among personality traits.

A Path Analytic Study
Xiao Yuan Sun, Guangdong Medical University, China

Background: Substantial research has clearly shown that parenting style exerts a major influence on a child’s development. However,what is less clear is the differential effect that parenting style may have on the developmental years of children who are either singlechild or multi-child. Objectives: To examine the influence of parenting styles on the life satisfaction of Chinese oversea students andcompare the difference between single-child and multi-child. Methods: A total of 212 Chinese university students (106 single-children
and 106 multi-children) from one university in Thailand completed the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), Rosenberg Self-esteem
Scale (RSES), Depression Anxiety and Stress (SASS-21) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Results: The single-child and the multichild respondents did not differ in their perception of their parental parenting styles, self-esteem, anxiety, stress, depression and life
satisfaction. Path analysis showed that for single-child respondents, their mothers’ permissive and fathers’ authoritative parenting styles
have direct positive influences on their reported life satisfaction, and their mothers’ authoritative and fathers’ authoritarian parenting
style have indirect influences on their life satisfaction, being mediated by their depression and stress levels. For the multi-child, theirmothers’ authoritative and authoritarian parenting styles have indirect influences on their reported life satisfaction, being mediated bytheir self-esteem level. These differences might be due to that single children get more attention from their parents than multi-children.

Mercede Erfanian, University College London, United Kingdom
Andrew Mitchell, University College London, United Kingdom
Jian Kang, University College London, United Kingdom

The soundscape, conceived as the acoustic equivalent of landscape, is defined by ISO 12913-1 as the human’s perception of theacoustic environment, in context, including accompanying physiological and psychological responses. The emerging body ofresearch is synthesized with studies explicitly designed to investigate soundscape at the ‘unconscious’ level in an effort to more
specifically conceptualize soundscape. The purpose of this review is to initially report the existing research on soundscape in theneurophysiology and physiology domains and secondly, to underline what the field has achieved so far in the areas of physiology andneurophysiology. Finally, a brief discussion of the future research agenda is discussed toward the development of a neurophysiologicaland physiological model of soundscape associated with perceptual attributes in the context of public health and wellbeing. For thisreview web of science, PubMed, and Scopus were searched for peer-reviewed articles published in English with the combinationsof the keywords ‘soundscape’, ‘noise sensitivity’, ‘physiology’, and ‘neurophysiology’. The previous preliminary research suggeststhat essentially the physiological responses attributed to soundscape correspond with how they are subjectively perceived, while
the evoked physiological responses differ in terms of valence. These variations may indicate a brain-based differentiation among
the processing substrates of different sound types. Additionally, the emerging body of research implies gender-related differencesin evoked physiological responses of the soundscape. Understanding the physiological and neurophysiological basis of soundscapecreates a beneficial foundation for urban sound-related problems, leading to a robust impact on urban policy-making in terms ofsoundscape prediction, design, and standardization.

21st Century
Catherine A. Hawkins, Texas State University, United States
Raymond C. Hawkins, Fielding Graduate University, United States

Spirituality is increasingly recognized as a critical yet challenging and often neglected aspect of effective, ethical, and holistic mental
health practice. It is perhaps imperative that mental health professionals incorporate this essential element into contemporary
practice, especially considering the rapidly and radically changing world. The U.S. is becoming more diverse and divisive. Whilespirituality encompasses the narrowly defined aspect of religion, it is a distinctly different concept that promotes universal humanconnections that potentially unite rather than divide individuals and groups. Social work in the U.S. has a long-standing tradition
that values spirituality as integral to education and practice. Both the Council on Social Work Education, the national accrediting
body, and the National Association of Social Workers, the main professional organization, explicitly include spirituality in theirrespective policies and standards for competent, multi-cultural practice. A solid scholarly literature, including numerous national
and international journals, address this topic. Recent research indicates that social workers and other mental health practitioners
in the U.S. report positive attitudes, particularly toward mindfulness-based interventions, and high levels of self-awareness. Yet,studies also find reluctance regarding potential value dilemmas and ethical conflicts. This presentation examines these core
concerns and possible problems while arguing for continued and further integration of spirituality into mental health practiceconsistent with educational and professional standards. Given the shifting demographic patterns and cultural conflict emerging
in the U.S., Europe, and beyond, this is more important than ever. Spiritual sensitivity is now imperative for competent practice andprofessional integrity in the global 21st century.

Background: Retirees are generally suffering from various physical and psychological problems. One of which is high blood pressure
which is associated with psychological problems such as feelings of loneliness and deteriorated well-being. Objective: The study
aimed to: 1. Identify the level of psychological well-being among pensioners with high blood pressure. 2. Effects of gender on thePsychological well-being dimensions among the sample. 3. Effects of age on the Psychological well-being dimensions among thesample. 4. Identify the level of psychological loneliness among pensioners with high blood pressure. Method: The study used thedescriptive causal comparative methodology on a sample of 112 retirees with hypertension. Results: 1. It was found that the level of
Psychological well-being within the sample was average. 2. There were statistically significant differences on some psychological wellbeing dimensions (Environmental Mastery, Positive Relations and Self-acceptance) based on gender. But no statistically significant
differences in psychological well-being dimensions (personal growth, autonomy and purpose in life) based on gender. 3. There were
statistically significant differences on some psychological well-being dimensions (personal growth, purpose in life) based on age. But
no statistically significant differences in psychological well-being dimensions (autonomy, Environmental Mastery, Positive Relations
and Self-acceptance) based on age. 4. It was found that the level of Psychological loneliness was average.

13:00-13:30 | Tennyson (2F)The Line of Transmission of Islamic Thought From Arabia Down to the China
Tuoheti Alimu, Tohoku University, JapanAt the end of the Ming Dynasty and at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, created a new theory of learning —— Huiru Study (Chinese
Islamic Philosophy)—— on the basis of Islamic philosophy and under the influence of Confucianism. Wang Daiyu (1570-1660) and
Liu Zhi (1660-1739), were two great Huiru (Islamic) scholars at that time. They published Zhengjiao Zhenquan (The real commentaryon the tire teaching), Tianfang xingli (Nature and principle in Islam) major books. It focuses on what is commonly called in Arabicuṣūl al-dīn, the “roots” or “principles” of the religion. These are the foundational articles of Islamic faith; typically, there are said tobe three: tawhid, or assertion of God’s unity; prophecy (nubuwwa); and the Return to God(ma‘ād). Their approach, like that of the
Huiru in general, is distinguished from that of other Muslim scholars in that they addressed the basic articles of Islamic thought with
Confucian terminology and categories. In other words, There’s Study deals with the Islamic worldview, and with the practices thatmake it possible for people to bring themselves into conformity with that worldview. However, the teachings of the Huiru as continuouswith those of Mainstream Islam. In my research attempt, how did Huiru Study Inherit the Mainstream Islamic Thought? What is thevalue and contribution of the World Islamic philosophy and civilization?

13:30-14:00 | Tennyson (2F)An Eastern Interpretation of the Gospels

Elvin Lim, Singapore Management University, Singapore
This essay attempts to interpret the Christian Gospels from an Eastern lens, arguing that the subtlest and most profound insights
of Christianity can be brought out in comparison and conversation with parallel themes in Buddhism, Hinduism, and Yoga. The firstpart of this essay will argue that the dualities of the Christian theology exist only so that they make possible synthesis, and will do so
by attempting to reconcile the seeming dualities of creation/creator, good/evil, subject/object. The second part of this essay will (re)consider the central Christian concepts of salvation as liberation, eternal life as timelessness, and divinity as omnipresence to showthat Christian teachings can be encountered anew by bringing them in conversation with seemingly orthogonal bodies of knowledge.

A Defence of Metaphysics in Ethics

Aiste Noreikaite, Vilnius University, Lithuania
The debate about meta-ethical grounding in ethics is extremely controversial in contemporary moral philosophy. It enquires into thecore of ethics’ purport, validity and claim for truth. However, recently questions have been raised, whether we need meta-ethics itself,
or is it just an excessively detached and misguided way to talk about ethics. The leading critic of meta-ethics is Ronald Dworkin, whoargues that ethics is an independent domain of thought with its own internal standards of justification and therefore does not need
any kind of external meta-ethical grounding. According to him, meta-ethical reflection is reductive metaphysics, which is incapable ofadequate depiction of ethics. My paper argues that Dworkin’s rejection of metaphysics in ethics is not sufficiently grounded and leads
his own position of autonomous ethics into contradictions. First, Dworkin’s conception of metaphysis is too single sided. He fails to
consider a possibility of metaphysics that could be internal to ethics. Second, some ethical concepts (dignity, authenticity) seem to be
more ontologically fundamental than others. However, Dworkin avoids to account for their different status. Finally, Dworkin’s position
implicitly presupposes practical rationality, which raises questions about the ontological status of such grounding, personhood andfreedom, but their foundational role and metaphysical character are bypassed. The critique of Dworkin shows that even if we argue
against meta-ethics, we still need metaphysics in ethics. Failing to pay regard to the metaphysical aspect of ethical concepts leads tocontradictions and inability to fully grasp the specific character of ethics.

13:30-14:00 | Shelley (2F)Can Stories Be an Effective Method to Design Measurable and Actionable Organizational Values?
Amira Abdel-Aziz, Cairo University, Egypt

The research aimed at testing a methodological framework developed by the researcher that used stories and collective participation
to capture, develop, measure set of actionable organizational values. The first phase of the research in 2018, as a pilot, used a mixed
method approach; quantitative methods through a distributed questionnaire on a sample of 50 employees, in 5 different startups
and qualitative through in-depth interviews, focus groups and storytelling workshops. The initial findings of the research highlight
1- stories make values more tangible, 2- values serve better as guiding principles not a punishment instrument, and 3- values
measurability depends on clarity, number and personal connection. The second phase will be implemented, in 2019, using the same
methods on a sample of 250 employees in one Egyptian startup as a single case study.

Rethinking Facts and Values

Philip Shields, Beloit College, United States
C.S.Peirce claimed that logic is a normative science. It is not about how people think, but how they ought to think, and so he classified
it as a branch of ethics. Elsewhere he argued the contrapositive, that purely self-interested individuals would have to be irrational in
all their inferences. They could not constitute valid thoughts regarding either the value of their ends or the reliability of their means.
Determining value, like meaning more generally, depends on taking a participant stance within social and disciplinary practices. Anylegitimacy that disciplines, and moral and rational practices more generally, have rests on the accountability provided by participatingin such communal activities. “Objectivity” in the disciplines does not mean seeing things as they are in themselves, or somehow
getting back to “the given” behind our interpretive activity, but seeing things in light of, and being accountable to, certain proceduraland evidentiary norms. To invoke “norms” here is to recognize something that defies Hume’s law, as a norm is simultaneously avalue grounded in a fact and a fact grounded in a value. This is not to simply affirm what Hume denies, but to question the dichotomy
between facts and values he presupposes. A statement of fact is an act we must be accountable for, and our ethical task is not merely amatter of assessing and choosing between alternatives that are just there and thrust upon us, like railroad tracks laid down in advance,
but a matter of constituting, and reconstituting, the paths themselves.

13:00-13:30 | Wordsworth (2F)The Impact of Different Past Climatic Experiences and Individual Sensitivities on Human Adaptation
Gizem Izmir Tunahan, University College London, United Kingdom
Hector Altamirano, University College London, United Kingdom
Jemima Unwin, University College London, United Kingdom

In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards migration from country to country for various reasons. Individual characteristics
namely previous climatic exposure, the cultural, and genetic background of the relocated people, are associated with various adaptation
experiences in the new environment that may cause physical, psychological and sociocultural adaptation problems. Thus, if possible,
it is important to provide them with the means to adapt as quickly as possible. These means help them to maintain the overall healthand well-being by restoring their full capacity and performance. This study aims at (a) exploring the factors contributing to humanadaptability to new climates, and (b) finding out how to accelerate the adaptation process. For this purpose, a questionnaire wasdeveloped to evaluate the participants’ body regulation changes after relocation such as sleep pattern, social activity, mood, appetite,and energy level and also, thermal and lighting perception. A part of the questionnaire was developed from an adapted version of
the SPAQ (Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire) to evaluate the SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) severity as an indicator ofadaptation which estimates effective potential factors on human adaptability. This study intends to show a clear understanding of
the factors influencing on human adaptability. The outcome of this study will help a wide range of building professionals to design the
optimal built environment in order to meet various indoor comfort expectations of individuals from different countries. Likewise, thisdesign optimizes both human comfort and building energy consumption for thermal and lighting comfort.

13:30-14:00 | Wordsworth (2F)An Ethical Roadmap: Realism, Idealism & the Applied Ethics Frame
Adam Dalgleish, University of Auckland, New Zealand

Many argue that for ethical obligations to be binding, they must be possible. But when is a policy ‘feasible’ enough to bind states? Howshould we think about the timeline within which actors should strive towards moral goals? And how should barriers to implementation
impact these duties? Realists tend to argue states are accountable when a proposal has good prospects for practical implementation.
More idealist theorists require that a given obligation merely be possible under more ideal conditions. I argue this disagreement teases
out a tension core to applied ethics, between applicability (the ability to produce outcomes in practice) and criticality (how ethicalthose outcomes are). I argue that a core part of works of applied ethics is that they are both sufficiently applied (applicable) andethical (critical) and, if an analysis aims to inform real-world practice, theorists need to pay sufficient attention to both these traits.
Following this, I detail the ‘Applied Ethics Frame’ I employ to mitigate this tension and contextualize its use within my assessmentof the global refugee crisis. I split the obligations of states into three categories: Broad - moral ‘targets’ to aim for, narrow – steps
providing incremental progress towards broad moral goals and dynamic – which address barriers to broad and narrow obligations.
When compiled together, I argue the frame provides a more detailed and accurate account of how states should act that is sensitive topractical issues but also focused on producing ethical progress.

Political Values Polarization and Unification: A Functional Contextual Viewpoint
Raymond Hawkins, Fielding Graduate University and University of Texas at Austin, United States
Catherine Hawkins, Texas State University in San Marcos, United States

Hampden-Turner (1981) in Maps of the Mind claimed that Martin Luther King considered segregation as ""not merely dividing personfrom person but the splitting of value from value with personality.” Instead Hampden-Turner urged creative healing syntheses bybridging seemingly polar values (e.g., not ""black versus white"" but ""black and white""). Functional contextualism in Acceptance andCommitment Therapy (ACT) views behaviors and thoughts as ""ongoing acts in context"" (Hayes, Barnes-Holmes, & Roche, 2001)
in which the context establishes the nature and function of the acts. A relational frame is a context that functions to initiate andmaintain a response in relation to an equivalence class (which is typically a verbal rule). In this paper I reformulate Hampden-Turner(1981) using functional contextualism and relational frames theory. A mind is not mere mentalism or brain structures, but instead is a
network of functional contexts (behaviors, thoughts, environments). The ""maps of the political mind"" is thus construed as malleable
events in context that are equivalence operations where transformations can produce new derived relations, thereby bridging andreducing polarization of political attitudes that occur in isolated social media communities, and facilitating dialogue. ACT's application
to collective functional units (groups, organizations) will be illustrated with an example for decreasing polarization and increasing
adaptation and resilience. The steps comprise: (1) Identifying complementary positive values underlying the conflict through open
dialog; (2) Using ""both / and"" rather than ""either / or"" (synergistic reasoning) to unify these value splits; (3) Elaborating this unionof values by further dialog.

The Disrespectfulness of Weighted Survival Lotteries
Joseph Adams, University of Nottingham, United Kingdom

If an agent can save the lives of only one of non-overlapping groups of people, then, other things being equal, it might seem, theyought to save the group that consists of the greatest number of people. John Taurek objects that this ‘greatest number’ view fails torespect the equal moral significance of each saveable individual. The greatest-number view, we might think, treats some saveable
individuals unfairly. Taurek argues that the agent instead ought to hold an ‘equal chance’ lottery to determine which group to save.
If the greatest-number view takes the number of people in each group too seriously, though, the equal-chance view does not take itseriously enough. Seeking a compromise, we might say that the agent ought to hold a proportionally weighted lottery to determine
which group to save. Jens Timmermann suggests that this proposal is practically equivalent to his own, ‘individualist lottery’ view.
This practical equivalence, however, is in fact dependent upon the way in which the weighted-lottery view is specified with respect
to particular cases of changing information. In such cases, the agent has held a lottery that they believe to have been proportionallyweighted, despite believing that, at the time of the lottery, they were mistaken about the number of people in each group. Given themost plausible specification of the weighted-lottery view with respect to these cases, this view does not in every case respect theequal moral significance of saveable individuals. So specified, the weighted-lottery view offers no solution to Taurek’s objection.

Measuring the of Level of Commitment in Tertiary Child Health Care Units for Effective Performance in Pakistan
Ammara Ajmal, University of Tsukuba, Japan
Tokie Anme, University of Tsukuba, Japan
Umer Saleem, University of Tsukuba, JapanThe objective of the study was to examine the impact of commitment of tertiary child health Care units performance in Pakistan
and to identify factors associated with it. As reform attempts in Pakistan public health sector system have done over the years but
regarding the improvement in health performance and delivery especially in child health units which has always stayed below thesatisfactory level. For this reason, in this research we are trying to explore other aspects like commitment is chosen to see its impact
upon performance by keeping other factors as constant. The data was collected from the child caregivers after conducting a crosssectional study in Quetta, Pakistan. After that, the regression analysis results of the study show positive relations between employee
commitment toward performance. However, in this research commitment is divided into three different levels of Affective Commitment(AC), Continuous Commitment (CC), and Normative Commitment (NC) to understand different aspects. In order to find those factors
which are contributing collectively, factor analysis technique was applied and five unique factors were identified as a result of it.
Therefore, the results show that public sector managers or policymakers want a high level of performance, they need to improveaffective commitment among the employees and decreasing the normative commitment and to move towards the new techniques likethe New Public Management (NPM) which can improve the degrading level of health indicators in Pakistan. Such kind of research willcontribute towards empowering the community by building the child healthcare sector.

What is the Bad-Difference View of Disability?

Thomas Crawley, University of Nottingham, United Kingdom
The Bad-Difference View (BDV) of disability says, roughly, that disability makes one worse off. The Mere-Difference View (MDV) of
disability says, roughly, that it doesn’t. In recent work, Barnes – a MDV proponent – offers a detailed exposition of the MDV. No BDV
proponent has done the same. While many thinkers make it clear that they endorse a BDV, they don’t carefully articulate their view.
This raises the question: how do we best understand the BDV? In this talk, I clarify the nature of the BDV by discussing two issues –instrumentality and probability – which must be settled for a full characterisation to be properly developed. Building on work from
Campbell and Stramondo, I argue that (as far as these issues go) the BDV’s best interpretation is probabilistic and comparative: it isthe view that a person is likely to be, all things considered, worse off with a disability than without. As such, Barnes – who criticises theversion of the BDV that disability by itself, intrinsically or automatically makes a person worse off – misses an opportunity to attack
the most plausible and relevant version of the BDV. I don't argue that the BDV is true.

Ke-Ling Chen, National Chengchi University, Taiwan
Chien-Chi Kuo, National Chengchi University, Taiwan

While high performers make disproportionally valuable contributions to their work teams and organizations, previous research
has revealed that these employees are also more prong to experiencing interpersonal aggression casted by their co-workers. The
present study draws on social comparison theory to examine psychological pain—a mixed feeling of frustration, inadequacy, andpain of the peer members as the explanatory mechanism of the victimization of high performers in the work team regarding thevictim precipitation approach. Data were collected by a three-staged survey from 200 employee and colleague dyads of 60 workgroups containing one supervisor and three to four subordinates in Taiwan. Through social relational analyses, results indicatedthat high performers are more likely to be the targets of workplace victimization, and that psychological pain of peers’ accounts forthe phenomenon. In addition, the present study probed the boundary conditions of the high-performer victimization phenomenon
on both individual- and dyadic-level by exploring the moderating effects of peer performance and the dyadic social support quality.
The findings of this study particularly identified the upward social comparison process of the person being outperformed as a source
triggering psychological pain in his mind, which subsequently leads to victimizing the high performer as a behavioral manifestationof losing self-evaluation. The existence of moderation effects further suggested means to ameliorate high-performer victimization.
Further suggestions on management practices and future research directions were provided.

Bouhafs Mebarki, University of Oran 2, Algeria
Soumia Bendaho, University of Oran 2, Algeria
Mohamed Mokdad, University of Bahrain, Bahrain
Lahcene Bouabdallah, University of Setif 2, Algeria

Background: Organizational commitment (OC) and psychological wellbeing at work (PWW) are at the grassroots of organizations’
success. The importance psychological wellbeing for individual health and organizational success is well established. (BPS, 2010;
Sandilya and Shahnawaz, 2018). Previous research work on the relationship of PWW and OC emphasized that employees’ well-being
promotes sustainable engagement and commitment, as employees benefiting from effective work-place well-being strategies areable to invest more in their organizations. Objective: The present study aimed at testing the relationship between psychologicalwellbeing and organizational commitment. In addition, it examines the hypothesis, which stipulates that, psychological wellbeing
is a predictor of organization commitment. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted on a sample of 227 employees of
the customs’ services in Oran – Algeria, at the same time the following tools were used to measure: (1) components of psychologicalwellbeing (a) professional satisfaction test (b) (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Peter Warr, 1990). (2) To measure componentsof organizational commitment (Affective Commitment, Normative Commitment, and Continuance Commitment) Meyer and Allen's
three-component model was administered. Results: Results of the study revealed that: (1) a positive relationship exists between
psychological wellbeing and organizational commitment (2) psychological wellbeing is a predictor of organizational commitment.
Conclusions: As a human resources development strategy indicator, the level of psychological wellbeing is a reliable managementpredicting factor of employees’ organizational commitment level.

Values as Predictor of Youth Procrastination in the Conditions of Globalization
Ekaterina Zabelina, Chelyabinsk State University, Russia
Svetlana Kurnosova, Chelyabinsk State University, Russia
Irina Trushina, Chelyabinsk State University, Russia

Procrastination as a voluntary, irrational postponement of the planned actions despite the fact that it will cost a lot or will have anegative effect on a person, became the disease of our times (Milgram, 1992). In spite of the fact that procrastination becomesa more serious problem in business, as in well as in the academic environment, its reasons and mechanisms are not clear. This
study is aimed at revealing whether the tendency of procrastination is associated with personal life values. For the diagnostics ofprocrastination the General Procrastination Scale (Lay, 1986) adapted by Ya.I. Varvaricheva (Varvaricheva, 2010) on the Russian
sample was used. Life values were analyzed using adapted Sch. Schwartz's questionnaire PVQ-R (Schwartz, etc., 2012). The results(N=200) show that students with high level of procrastination have less values of self-direction, power, achievement and security. They
less tend to dominate over other people, they are less ambitious, less strive for personal success, they seek less to ensure safety forthemselves and stability for society, as well as it is less important for them to think and make decisions independently. At the sametime, procrastinators show more value of stimulation, attaching more significance to getting new impressions and emotions in life.
Moreover, the values of security and self-direction affect the distribution of students in groups with various levels of procrastination.
Thus, the reduced value of security and self-direction becomes the cornerstone of procrastination. The results are discussed in thecontext of globalization.

Psychometric Properties of the Symptom Check List 90 (SCL-90) for Chinese Undergraduate Students basedon a Large Sample
Chonghua Wan, Guangdong Medical University, China

Background and Aim: Despite widespread application of the Chinese version of the Symptom Check List 90 (SCL-90) among
undergraduate students, researchers have not thoroughly evaluated its psychometrics properties with representative samples ofChinese undergraduate students. This paper is aimed to evaluate its psychometric properties based on a large, representative sampleof Chinese undergraduate students. Methods: Adopting a multistage stratified cluster sampling method to obtain a representative
sample, a total of 4456 Chinese undergraduate students (age range from 17 to 25 years) completed the SCL-90a. Correlation analysis,
confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to evaluate its reliability and validity. Results: The
evidence for item-total correlations, internal consistency reliability and composite reliability for the subscales, and the hypothesizedfactor structure was satisfactory, with all internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) and intra-class correlation coefficients(ICC) being higher than 0.80, and RMSEA, CFI, TLI, AGFI being 0.073,0.989,0.981, 0.910, respectively. Correlation analyses confirmed
criterion-related validity when using SF-36 as a criterion. The evidence for convergent validity was acceptable, but the evidence fordiscriminant validity was not satisfactory. Conclusion: Based on a large, representative sample of Chinese undergraduate students,
the Chinese version of the SCL-90 revealed good psychometric properties on the whole, and also strengths and limitations, suggesting
the need for further research.

Effectiveness of a Counseling Program for the Development of Organizational Citizenship Behavior AmongHigh School Students in Bahrain
Mohamed Mokdad, University of Bahrain, Bahrain
Bouhafs Mebarki, University of Oran 2, Algeria
Tariq Majed, Ministry of Education, Bahrain
Lahcene Bouabdallah, University of Setif 2, Algeria

Background: There is a growing need for educational institutions, especially middle and high schools, for organizational citizenshipbehavior. Schools, especially adolescent schools, have many behavioral problems such as; tardiness, non-attendance, vandalism,smoking, theft, sexual harassment, the use of drugs, the abuse of violence, impersonation, falsification, the introduction of devices
that impede the educational process and other problems. At least some of these problems may be due to the lack of organizational
citizenship behavior among children, and students. Objective: The present study aimed at developing and implementing a counselingprogram to promote organizational citizenship behavior among secondary school boys, in the kingdom of Bahrain. Methods: The
study used the experimental method. A sample of 40 secondary level students were chosen randomly. They aged from 16 to 18 years
and were divided randomly into two equivalent groups: experimental and control. The counseling program consisted of 16 sessions; of
50 minutes each, with a frequency of two sessions a week. Data were collected using the Organizational Citizenship Behavior measuredeveloped by the researchers. Results: The analysis of the results suggested that there are differences between the experimental andcontrol groups on all measures. Differences are mainly attributed to the counseling program.

Critical Thinking and Education: On the Unavoidability of a Value Context
James McGuirk, Nord University, Norway

The idea that critical thinking is a desideratum within the educational system has never been controversial, though it is one that is felt
as more pressing than ever in our time. Recent years have, as such, seen a significant number of publications that address important
aspects of the question of critical thinking and education (Nussbaum, 2010; Faria, 2015; Kronman, 2008; Deresewiecz, 2014, Elder& Paul, 2013). It is noteworthy that while values – epistemic and moral – are invoked in many of these discussions, they are rarely
directly thematized, a shortfall this paper seeks to address. I begin by delineating two dominant paradigms of critical thinking. The
first of these is broadly an Enlightenment model, which emphasizes the sovereignty of reason as the path to the just and the true
(Kant, 1784; Kronman, 2008). The second model is the broadly Marxist movement of critical pedagogy, which makes emancipation
rather than reason its central plank (Giroux, 2015; Freire, 2017). Drawing on recent work in psychology (Haidt, 2012; Sperber & Mercier,2017; Greene, 2013), I argue that there are prima facie reasons for favouring the second of these, but I go on to argue that both models
are ultimately incoherent due to their failure to properly thematize the domain of values upon which they lean. I will conclude bysuggesting a solution through a re-grounding of critical thinking in terms of precisely such a thematization of values and its anchoringin philosophical anthropology.

Automation and Artificial Intelligence: How Christian Liberation Theology Can Save the West
Harold Marrero, Chicago Theological Seminary, United States

Automation and the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) will undoubtedly disrupt economies around the world and put millions of people outof work. This is already true for many lower-skill repetitive labor jobs (e.g. automotive, manufacturing, and fast food industries). With
the continual development of machine learning in fields such as self-driven vehicles, warehouse management, and delivery services,automation and AI will continue to absorb increasing amounts of the workforce yet simultaneously increasing productivity and economic
wealth. Historically, the West saw similar economic disruptions with the rise of the Industrial Revolution. Christianity in the United States
played an important role in developing the Social Gospel Movement which led to social reforms that put the needs and safety of theworkers' first while developing a moral and ethical framework for the capitalistic expansion of American Industry. Currently, we again are
faced with exponential technological progress which has greatly benefited capitalism but threatens to create large social unrest in manyof our countries as standards of living continue to fall and joblessness continues to rise. Utilizing a virtual presentation format, questionsof how to ethically and morally embrace the disruptive effects of automation and AI through Christian liberation theology and Biblicaleconomic principles will be addressed. This virtual presentation will serve as a springboard for the development of a 21st century Social
Gospel Movement that can help our democracies develop ethical frameworks on how address the social changes while at the same time
supporting innovation and exponential economic growth.

Exploring Attitudes Towards Teenage Relationship Abuse: A Q-Methodology Study
Deanne Lockington, Teesside University, United Kingdom

Teenagers are most at risk of relationship abuse in the UK, yet least likely to report it (Home Office, 2014). It is not only a proliferating crime,
but a complex health, social and psychological epidemic (Rakovec, 2014). The issue is significantly misunderstood and unrecognised(Crown Prosecution Service, 2014). Previous research into attitudes towards adult relationship abuse in the UK, and teenage abuse in theUS, shows negative attitudes are erroneously influenced by myths and stereotypes. Attitudes are a result of individual’s values, and it isthese values which dictate behaviours. Such attitudes precipitate and perpetuate the ‘shadowing’ of the problem and exacerbate victims’
suffering (Yamawaki et al., 2012). Research proposes similar cause and effects of attitudes towards teenage abuse in the UK, however,no research to date has investigated this. This study aimed to address a gap in the literature by exploring attitudes towards teenage
relationship abuse to identify if common myths and stereotypes were present. A q-methodology was used to explore perceptions andfindings interpreted using thematic analysis. Findings showed gender differences in perceptions, and that myths and stereotypes wereprevalent in views. This may explain why the severity of the issue is shadowed and overlooked. It is hoped the findings can be incorporated
into campaigns to successfully increase awareness of teenage relationship abuse as well as aid in eradicating fallacies. As a result, thismay increase the likeliness of young victims reporting abuse, increase support, reduce the number of victims, and ultimately aid in ending
teenage relationship abuse.
