BackgroundOver the past decade, Türkiye has experienced an increasing influx of international students, particularly from various Arab countries. The significant number of Arab international university students has prompted researchers to pay more attention to the experiences of this population in the country. This study examined the adjustment problems experienced by Arab female international university students in Türkiye.MethodThe research has a mixed methods design and includes both quantitative and qualitative studies. In the quantitative study, the International Students Adjustment Scale (ISAS) was used with 373 participants to examine the challenges in which dimensions of adjustment (academic, sociocultural, or personal) were more challenging for the study group. In the qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 Arab female international university students to gain a deeper understanding of their experiences in the domain that is found the issues are more profound.ResultsData from the quantitative study revealed that these students experienced similar challenges in each dimension of adjustment; however, problems in the sociocultural domain were much more profound. In line with the quantitative study, the interview questions of the qualitative study were prepared to explore the sociocultural domain and included the pre-arrival expectations, the post-arrival adjustment challenges, and the coping strategies of the study group. The Results of the qualitative study showed that although their prearrival expectations were almost met, they encountered various problems, ranging from cultural differences in daily activities to discrimination. It was also found that many of them were reluctant to ask for help, and to cope with adjustment problems, they usually used maladaptive or dysfunctional coping strategies such as avoidance and isolation.DiscussionThe findings of the quantitative study are in line with the previous studies that the overall adjustment of international students is influenced by different domains that are broadly academic, sociocultural, and personal. Among them, the sociocultural domain is found as the one in the study population that encounters more challenges. The results of the qualitative study support the findings of previous studies related to prearrival expectancies, provide more understanding of adjustment challenges and bring more information about adopted coping strategies.

Individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and plexiform neurofibromas (PNs) have a higher risk for socioemotional problems. The current study aims to identify the socioemotional developmental pattern and its predictors across childhood and adolescence in individuals with NF1 and PNs. Participants included 88 children with NF1 and PNs (aged 6–18 years old, M = 12.05, SD = 3.62, 57% male) in a natural history study. Neuropsychological assessments were administered three times over six years. There are large variabilities in socioemotional development in the study participants. Developmental patterns varied across socioemotional domains, respondent type (parent-report [PR] vs. child-report [CR]), demographic factors, and NF1 disease-related factors. For instance, lower parental education was associated with a greater decline in internalizing problems (PR) but a greater increase in school disconnectedness (CR) over time. Non-White (vs. White) children were more likely to experience increased adaptive skills (PR) but decreased personal adjustment (CR). Children with more visible tumors experienced a greater decrease in school disconnectedness (CR). Children with more NF1 complications experienced a greater decrease in externalizing problems (PR). These findings indicate the necessity of using multi-informants and investigating subdomains of socioemotional functions. They also highlight the importance of developing individualized approaches to patient care and interventions.

Objectives This study aimed to understand the relationship between resource gains and losses, coping, and the quality of life during the growth phase of the COVID‑19 pandemic. Material and Methods The Internet-based survey covered 353 individuals who had participated in a psychological support project operated by one of the non-governmental organizations in Lublin, Poland, in the 12 months prior to the outbreak of the pandemic. The questionnaire used in the study contained questions to collect sociodemographic data and psychometric scales to measure resource gains and losses (the Conservation of Resources – Evaluation questionnaire), the quality of life (the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF ), and strategies of coping with the pandemic situation (a modified Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced questionnaire). Results A higher global quality of life occurred with higher gains and minor losses, as well as with coping through planning, positive reframing, emotional support seeking, a reduced substance use tendency, low self-blame, avoidance, and disengagement. Moreover, helplessness-based coping strategies were found to mediate both the relationships between resource gains and the quality of life, and between resource losses and the quality of life. Conclusions Factors that may reduce people’s quality of life during the COVID‑19 pandemic are an increase in losses and limited gains, experienced over the 6 months preceding the pandemic, as well as not using active, meaning-oriented, and support-seeking coping strategies, but using avoidance behaviors instead. Coping strategies specific to people experiencing helplessness are a mediating mechanism between losses and limited gains of resources, and the quality of life.

Frontline clinicians have become society’s line of defence against a raging pandemic. Their stories reflect the uncertainty faced on a daily basis and are witness to their courageous acts first-hand. While research to understand the virus and curtail the disease is readily available, there is sparse information on the emotional hardship medical practitioners have to face. The aim of this commentary is to provide a better understanding of the experiences of doctors practicing medicine during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the focus on Malta and on Maltese doctors currently working abroad. Messages were solicited from those who wished to share their experiences, and were posted, after the author’s permission, on a COVID-19 website. On content analysis of these messages, four major themes emerged: initial reaction, hospital’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the new normal, and personal adjustments. These themes provide rich data on how medical practitioners coped during adversity. It portrays their resilience as they came to terms with a rapidly changing health care system and exemplifies the adjustments they made to fall into a new normal. Indeed, their monumental efforts need to be lauded and their outstanding contributions recognised.

The religious dimension of life represents an important source of human strength, meaning, and coping for many people. However, the religious life is not always “smooth and easy” and can be associated with weak personal adjustment, poorer psychological well-being, and lower satisfaction. Yet, besides the direct relationship between these variables, some researchers postulate the existence of an indirect association that has not been fully explained by various psychosocial mediators. The aim of the present study was to verify whether self-esteem could be a potential mediator between religious strain and life satisfaction. The sample consisted of 607 adult Christians (49.6% women) aged between 18 and 79. We used the Religious Comfort and Strain Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Consistent with our hypotheses, life satisfaction positively correlated with religious comfort and was negatively associated with fear/guilt, negative emotions toward God, and negative social interactions surrounding religion. The same pattern of results was shown in the case of self-esteem. Moreover, the outcomes obtained from bootstrap sampling (5000) with a 95% confidence interval indicated a significant role of self-esteem as a mediator in all of the relationships between: (1) religious comfort and life satisfaction; (2) fear/guilt and life satisfaction; (3) negative emotions toward God and life satisfaction; and (4) negative social interactions surrounding religion and life satisfaction.

Aim Poorer physical and mental health often accompany loss of walking in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This study assessed the impacts of powered wheelchair standing device (PWSD) use on muscle and joint pain, joint angles when standing and mental health in adolescents with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Methods Fourteen adolescents and parents participated in a stepped wedge design study over 12 months. During a baseline and intervention period, adolescents described pain and mental health, and parents reported their child's mental health. Video data were collected to measure hip, knee and ankle joint angles in the preferred standing position. Results Compared with baseline and adjusting for covariates, standing wheelchair use was associated with no change in muscle or joint pain or videoed joint angles in standing. Child-reported Strengths and Difficulties total scores decreased (coefficient -3.1, 95% confidence interval -4.6, -1.5); and parent-reported Personal Adjustment and Role Skills Scale total scores increased (coefficient 7.9, 95% confidence interval 3.3-12.5). Conclusions PWSD use was associated with maintenance of musculoskeletal status and advantages to mental health. Long-term observations are necessary to improve understanding of how to support wellbeing in adolescents with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

The purpose of the study isto assess the level of emotional intelligence (EI) and Job Satisfaction (JS) among high school teachers of private schools in Hyderabad.The survey method was used to collect primary data from a sample of 221 teachers from selected private schools in Warasiguda, Musheerabad, Chilkalguda, Ambernagar and Ramnagar areas of Hyderabad. The standardized scales adopted for measuring the emotional intelligence (Sungouh, 2006) and job satisfaction (Pestonjee , 2002) comprise 20-item level of EI based on a five-point rating system of 1 to 5, and 80-item on-the job and off-the-job factors of JS respectively. The reliability and validity of both the scales are within the acceptable norms. The findings establish that school teachers had moderate levels of job satisfaction and emotional intelligence. Even though emotional intelligence has a significant impact on job-related aspects of job satisfaction, it has no impact on the management, personal adjustment and social relation aspects of job satisfaction. Nevertheless, the overall result shows thatthere is a significant correlation between emotional intelligence and job satisfaction among teachers in executing their jobs in the private high schools surveyed.

University or College years seem to be a stressful time for students due to many challenges: academic, personal adjustment to a new life, and socially building new friendships. Life satisfaction is considered one of the basic components of psychological well-being. Studies have supported that lower levels of life satisfaction have been related to high levels of anxiety. Also the constructs of assertiveness and empathy seem to be related with life satisfaction. The present study compares 1st and 4th-year undergraduate students in relation to variables such as life satisfaction (The Life Satisfaction Index), stress, (STAI) assertiveness (Rathus Assertiveness Schedule) and empathy (Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI)). The participants were in total 410, 1st year (N = 205) and 4th year (N = 205) undergraduate students. All findings are discussed in detail; some main results showed that: 1) Independently of sex students had similar anxiety levels; life satisfaction was significantly higher among those with low state anxiety but not with low trait anxiety; 2) Trait anxiety score analysis revealed nonsignificant results; 3) Young women are more life satisfied compared to young men among 1st year students; 4) The percent of students with high life satisfaction is significantly higher among those that grew up in urban and semi-urban regions compared to those that grew up in other regions. The findings of the present study emphasize the need to explore ways to help undergraduate students to adjust during their academic years and life at the University.

This article advances the debate about costs and benefits of self-enhancement (the tendency to maintain unrealistically positive self-views) with a comprehensive meta-analytic review (299 samples, N = 126,916). The review considers relations between self-enhancement and personal adjustment (life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect, depression), and between self-enhancement and interpersonal adjustment (informant reports of domain-general social valuation, agency, communion). Self-enhancement was positively related to personal adjustment, and this relation was robust across sex, age, cohort, and culture. Important from a causal perspective, self-enhancement had a positive longitudinal effect on personal adjustment. The relation between self-enhancement and interpersonal adjustment was nuanced. Self-enhancement was positively related to domain-general social valuation at 0, but not long, acquaintance. Communal self-enhancement was positively linked to informant judgments of communion, whereas agentic self-enhancement was linked positively to agency but negatively to communion. Overall, the results suggest that self-enhancement is beneficial for personal adjustment but a mixed blessing for interpersonal adjustment.

The purpose of this study was to compare whole factors of emotional and behavioral problems between children with and without developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and investigate the interrelationship between motor coordination skills and emotional and behavioral problems among the children. As a result of screening participants (288 children) based on DSM-5 standard, participants were classified as DCD and typically developing (TD) groups. A total of 60 children (mean age: 8.8 years &plusmn, 3.5 months, DCD group n = 30, TD group n = 30) were assessed using the Korean Behavior Assessment System for Children, Second Edition for emotional and behavioral problems. Children with DCD showed significantly poor scores in internalizing problems (p = 0.009), inattention/hyperactivity (p = 0.004), and emotional symptoms index (p = 0.001) among the criteria of emotional problems and in personal adjustment (p = 0.000) among the criteria of behavioral problems. The MABC-2 composite percentile score of participants showed a significant correlation with internalizing problem behavior (r = &minus, 0.382, p = 0.003), inattention / hyperactivity disorder (r = &minus, 0.409, p = 0.001), emotional symptoms index (r = &minus, 0.483, p = 0.000), and personal adjustment (r = 0.474, p &lt, 0.01). Our results validated that children with DCD have more emotional and behavioral difficulties than TD children. Our results revealed that the motor coordination skills have correlated with emotional and behavioral difficulties among children.

Birleşik harekât kavramı geçmişten günümüze ortak çıkarlar uğruna hareket etmeyi kapsamakla birlikte modern anlamda çok uluslu operasyonları ifade etmektedir. Bu çerçevede Türk askerî personelinin katılmış olduğu iki birleşik harekât olan Birinci Dünya Harbi ve Kore Harbi incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada Türk askerî tarihi açısından bu harplerden elde edilen tecrübelere bakılarak dersler çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Böylelikle ileride yapılacak olan birleşik harekât kapsamındaki çok uluslu operasyonların daha uyumlu ve düzgün bir şekilde işlemesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma daha ziyade hatıralar üzerinden ilerlemekte olup konu alınan harplerin teferruatlı anlatımına girilmemiştir. Buradaki maksat hatıralar eşliğinde işlenen harekâtın detaylarına inilerek personel temelinde bir inceleme yapmaktır. Çalışmada harp ve harekâta değinmeden önce ilk olarak birleşik harekât kavramının ne olduğu güncel talimnameler ışığında aktarılmıştır. Böylelikle harp ve harekâtın anlatımı esnasında ne gibi kazanımlar yaşanıldığının anlaşılması sağlanmaya çalışılmıştır.İlerleyen bölümlerde de Kanal Harekâtı ve Kore Harbi'ne değinilerek Türk askerî personeli tarafından icra edilen birleşik harekât ele alınmıştır. Bu harekâtlar neticesinde elde edilen tecrübeler de `Alınan Dersler` başlığı altında irdelenmiştir. Bunun yanında iki harekât arasında ne gibi benzerlikler olduğuna ve de ne gibi hataların tekerrür ettiğine değinilmiştir. Bunlar yapılırken burada asıl odaklanılan konu askerî alanda yaşanan hadiseler olmuştur. Ancak askerî alanın yanında siyasi arenada yaşanan hadise ve tecrübelere de yer verilmiştir. Böylelikle siyasi hamlelerin askerî sahada ne derece etkili olabildikleri gösterilmeye çalışılmıştır. Nihai olarak da edinilen tecrübeler neticesinde harekât öncesinde ne gibi hazırlıkların ve planlamaların gerektiği belirtilerek daha iyi bir harekâtın icra edilebilmesi açısından değerlendirilmelerde bulunulmuştur. Bu ve bunun gibi çalışmaların askerî ve siyasi anlamda kapsayıcılığının artırılarak ilerleyen zaman zarfında Türk askerî personelini birleşik harekât açısından daha ileriye götürebileceğine de değinilmiştir. Concept of `multinational operations` meant fight together for common interest in the past. In modern days, it involves the meaning that fight together with multi nations in one operation. In this frame, two multinational operations which Turkish military personnel were participated examined. These two operations are First World War and the Korean War. Some lessons were taken from the experiences which learnt from these wars by Turkish military personnel. Thus, it is purposed to being more compatible and smooth multinational operations can be organized in future. This thesis is more like based on memories and it is avoided to give operational details in article. The purpose here is to examine the personal relationship with details between multi-cultural personnel's base in these multinational operations. Before the wars and operations are told, the concept of multinational operation was expressed in the light of United States' and NATO's actual field manuals. Hereby, it is tried to ensure that what kind of earnings are learnt by these multinational operations in article's further chapters.In further chapters, the multinational operations which are Suez Canal operation and Korean War operated by Turkish military personnel are handed. Circumstances of these operations, the experiences that received have been examined under the title of `Lessons Learnt`. Besides, what kind of similarities and mistakes between these operations are also be touched. By the way, the real focusing subject is events in military base. However, the events and experience in the political area also processed with military area. Thus, it is tried to show that how political moves effect to military field. Finally, after all experiences taken what kind of preparation and planning should be needed before actual operation is cleared and the evaluations which can cause a better multinational operation is explained. This and kind of this studies can move Turkish military personnel forward on multinational operations in future with rising the interest of military and political area. 219

The article looks into the issue of social adaptation and personal adjustment of people with disabilities through their active participation in regular classes of adaptive exercise therapy. Based on state statistics, scientific publications analysis and research work a hypothesis was put forward that there is an additional factor that plays a significant role in the family upbringing scheme and helps to foster interest in adaptive exercise therapy and adaptive sports among intellectually impaired children. The purpose of the study was to identify a factor or group of factors in the family upbringing scheme which are relevant to methodology of arranging PE and sports events for children with intellectual disabilities. The sample group consisted of women whose children, including those with intellectual disabilities, attended sports schools in Russia. Among the methods applied during the study there were psychodiagnostic methods of written and oral interviews, questionnaires. The results of the procedures of statistical and factor analysis revealed destructive aspects in the field of child-parent relationship as well as interpersonal relationship. The family dysfunctions correction will make it possible to apply integrative technologies in organizing sports and recreational events for families where children with intellectual disabilities are brought up.

Previous studies have shown that the presence of age-based stereotypes in the workplace is often associated with lower levels of work engagement and adjustment among older employees. This study examines possible mediators and moderators of this relationship using data from a sample of 2,348 older (age > 50) employees at the Italian national rail company. We test a model in which the effects of age-based stereotype threat on organizational involvement, future time perspective and psychological well-being are mediated by work-age identity integration (how much individuals see their age and organizational identities as compatible and blended). Secondly, we explored whether these effects are moderated by gender and job status. Results indicate that age-based stereotypes are associated with negative outcomes for employees’ work and personal adjustment, and that these relationships are partially mediated by variations in work-age identity integration.

Adaptive theory of thermal comfort suggests that people tend to adjust themselves or their environment to achieve thermally comfortable conditions whenever discomfort conditions occurred. In this work, a high-rise residential building was selected to investigate the residents’ adaptive behaviour in the hot humid climate in Malaysia. The objectives are to investigate residents’ preference to use the available adaptive opportunities to achieve thermal comfort, the daily use of the climatic controls and the reasons that influence this usage. A questionnaire survey was distributed to investigate residents’ personal adjustment as well as modifying the indoor thermal environment. The results showed that residents prefer to control their climate conditions using fans and opening windows prior to performing personal adjustment that involves thermoregulation of their bodies. However, when these actions fail to please them, switching on the air-conditioners might be the last choice. In terms of climatic controls, using fans and opening windows were higher in the morning and evening, while they dropped with an increase of the air-conditioners usage during the noontime. In addition, residents find the use of fans and opening windows are enough to be comfortable. Nevertheless, they prefer the availability of air-conditioners for extreme thermal conditions. These findings prove that proper buildings’ design with appropriate passive techniques can provide thermally comfortable conditions without the needs for mechanical conditioning.

Being an academic entity, universities offer a distinct environment with different missions and work tasks as compared to business organizations. Thus far only a minimal amount of investigation has embarked on self-initiated expatriates in the academic field. Therefore, the main aim of the research is to investigate the adjustment of this group of expatriates by focusing on the relationships between multicultural personality skills and the academic expatriates’ personal, professional and social adjustment by utilizing the multicultural personality scale (MPQ). The MPQ consists of five dimensions - cultural empathy, open-mindedness, social initiative, emotional stability and flexibility. Besides MPQ constructs, the study also examines the relationship between language ability and the expatriates’ personal, social and professional adjustment. One-hundred and one questionnaires were distributed to self-initiated academic expatriates (N=101) attached to various academic departments in UUM. Results revealed that open-mindedness and flexibility are significantly related to the expatriates’ personal adjustment, while cultural empathy, emotional stability and flexibility are significantly related to social adjustment. Flexibility is the only dimension of MPQ that predicts academic expatriates’ professional adjustment. Language skills on the other hand, do not show any significant relationship with all three types of adjustments. Apart from the results, the discussions and limitations of the study are also presented in the paper. Keywords: Cross-cultural adjustment , expatriate adjustment, organizational expatriates, self-initiated academic expatriates, multicultural personality questionnaire.

Adjustment to the first year of university involves engaging with the university culture and developing a sense of belonging or attachment. Difficulty making the transition to university can result in students deferring or withdrawing from their courses. While mature-age students experience many of the challenges of all first-year students such as social dislocation, academic anxiety, and unrealistic expectations, they are more likely than school-leaver students to have family responsibilities and time constraints. The ability to manage competing demands on their time can affect their participation in campus-based activities and negatively impact their sense of belonging to the university. This paper reports on the adjustment to the first year of university of 40 mature-age students, measured through an analysis of their responses on a 55-item survey questionnaire. The findings suggest that the mature-age students adjusted well, academically; however, they had lower measures of adjustment in their social and personal adjustment. The challenge for universities is to identify and respond to the needs of mature-age students during their transition to university.

This research basically aims to investigate the School Adjustment of an adolescent diagnosed with Special Learning Disabilities. More specifically, the adolescent’s Social Traits, Motives, and Personal Adjustment are being studied. For the purposes of the research, the qualitative methodological approach was chosen. Also, semi-structured interviews were conducted, based on the School Adjustment Scale (Power & Cotterell, 1979) [1]. Results showed that the adolescent with Special Learning Disabilities faces adjustment problems regarding general satisfaction from school and self-confidence for school performance. Anxiety, lack of self-confidence and reduced social skills are the main obstacles for School Adjustment. Results are discussed concerning the development of social, communicational and general attainments in adolescents with Specific Learning Disabilities.

Adolescence usually involves a higher risk of personal maladjustment that can be related to clinical symptomatology and scholar maladjustment. This study includes an analysis of the prevalence of clinical and school-maladjustment and personal adjustment in secondary school adolescent from the Basque Country. The study adapts and validates the S3 self-report version of the Behaviour Assessment System for Children and Adolescents (BASC). The sample consisted of 1827 adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years. Although some differences in the adjustment levels for males and female were found, the associated effect sizes are small. In addition, the Basque-language version of the BASC-S3 has psychometric properties similar to those of the Spanish and original versions of the measurement tool, thus it can be of great use in the Basque-speaking adolescent population.

The objective of this study is to determine the influence of personal adjustment toward interpersonal communication anxiety in the teenagers of Muslimin Orphanage. The variables in this study were personal adjustment as variable (X) and interpersonal communication anxiety variables as variable (Y). Data analysis technique that is used to test the hypothesis is a simple regression using SPSS version 16.00. Based on calculations, the value of F = 50.207 with a significant value of 0.000. Regression equation Y = 6245 + 0.976X and the influence of personal adjustment toward interpersonal communication anxiety 0.558 (55.8%), which means that personal adjustment affects communication anxiety in adolescent students in an orphanage by 55.8% and the remaining 44.2% is affected by other than personal adjustment. Hence, Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted so it can be concluded that there was a significant effect on personal adjustment toward interpersonal communication anxiety in adolescents in an orphanage.

Bu çalışma, kişi-iş uyumunun işe adanmışlık üzerindeki rolünü, psikolojik sermayenin düzenleyici değişken olarak etkisi ile birlikte araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışanların psikolojik sermaye, kişi-iş uyumu ve işe adanmışlıklık seviyelerini doğru belirlemek amacıyla İstanbul'da özel sektör çalışanlarına anketler uygulanarak veri toplanmıştır. Buna ilaveten, cinsiyet, kıdem, yaş, medeni hal, eğitim seviyesi, toplam iş deneyimi gibi demografik değişkenler de göz önünde bulundurulmuştur. 209 çalışan bu araştırmanın örneklem grubunu oluşturmaktadır. Anket sonuçları SPSS programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlara göre kişi-iş uyumunun işe adanmışlığı arttırdığı ve psikolojik sermayenin bu ilişkide düzenleyici değişken görevi oynamadığı bulunmuştur. Ancak, psikolojik sermaye işe adanmışlığı ve kişi-iş uyumu üzerinde ayrı olarak pozitif olarak etkileri bulunmaktadır. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the association between person-job fit and work engagement by taking into consideration the moderating role of psychological capital. The data was collected by applying a survey to the employees who are working in private sector in Istanbul to accurately evaluate the levels of psychological capital, person-job fit and work commitment characteristics of them. Moreover, demographic characteristics such as age, gender, marital status, tenure, education level, and total work experience were considered. The sample of this research was composed of 209 employees. The results obtained from the survey were analysed by using SPSS program (The Statistical Package for Social Sciences). According to these findings, it has been found that person-job fit increases work engagement and psychological capital could not play a moderator role in this relationship. However, psychological capital influences positively work engagement and person-job fit separately. 87

Non-resident work practices, which involve prolonged separations from family, long-distance commuting between home and remote work sites and long work hours across compressed rosters, are now commonplace in Australia. This study examined the impact of these work arrangements, often termed Fly-In/Fly-Out (FIFO), on children and families, and to identify family-related and employment-related factors that influence child and family outcomes. Anonymous online surveys containing measures of family and couple relationship quality, child behavioral and emotional adjustment, parenting and personal adjustment were completed by 232 partners of FIFO workers, 46 FIFO workers, and a comparison group of community parents (N = 294 mothers, N = 36 fathers). There were no differences between FIFO partners and community parents on family or couple relationship quality, parenting competence and child behavioral or emotional difficulties. FIFO partners reported higher levels of personal emotional problems and greater usage of harsh discipline practices than community mothers, while FIFO workers reported greater work to family conflict and alcohol use than community fathers. Regression analyses on the FIFO partners sample indicated that child and family functioning were best predicted by family factors, including harsh parenting and parental emotional adjustment. Implications of the findings for the design and provision of family-based support for FIFO families are discussed.

As for individual adaptation level, there was a significant difference for male students. This difference appeared to be small according to quantity of influence level (d=0.25).The level of general and social adaptation levels of university students, the ones at the age of 26 -+ and 21-25 were concluded to be statistically significant compared to the ones at the age of 18-20. Moreover the individual adaptation levels showed significance as for the ones between 21 and 25 compared to 18-20 age groups. When it comes to general adaptation level, this difference seemed to be great according to emerging ultimate level of influence quantity ( η2=0.15 ).General and social adaptation levels of university students and their perceived socioeconomic level of themselves emerged to be statistically significant compared to low level of socioeconomic group. When it comes to individual adaptation level, there was a significant difference between the ones perceiving themselves to be a part of socioeconomically well fared group and the low socioeconomic group. For general adaptation level, this difference seemed to be small according to the ultimate level of influence quantity ( η2=0.017 ) .The general adaptation of university students whose mothers are literate and at least a high school graduate was significantly different from the ones whose mothers were not literate. When it comes to individual adaptation levels, there was again a statistically significant difference for the ones with literature mothers compared to the ones whose mothers are not literate. There did not appear to be an important difference between the literacy levels of mothers and the students' social adaptation levels. As for general adaptation levels, this difference appeared to be small according to the quantity of influence (η2=0.01). There was not a statistically significant difference between the students' general, individual and social adaptation levels according to their fathers' literacy levels.There did not appear any significant difference between the students' general and individual adaptation levels according to classroom levels. For social adaptation level, there seemed to be a difference between the 4th grades and 1st grades in favor of the former. This difference seemed to be small according to the level of influence (η2=0.0115).According to the location of residence where we spend most of our lives, there was not a significant difference between the students' general and individual adaptation levels. As for social adaptation level, there was a significant difference between the ones who settled in big metropolis or cities and the ones in counties. This difference seemed to be small according to the level of influence (η2=0.010).When compared according to the faculties where the students go on their education, there was a statistically significant difference according to general adaptation levels between the students of Faculty of Theology, Education, Veterinary and College of Health and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. As for individual adaptation levels, there was a significant difference between the students of Faculty of Veterinary and The College of Physical Education and Sports and the ones in Faculty of Arts and Sciences in favor of the first group. For social adaptation level, there appeared to be a significant difference in favor of the first group between the students of Faculties of Theology and Education and Faculty of Arts and Sciences. This difference appeared to be small as for general adaptation level according to the level of influence (η2=0.038). Perfectionism, need for approval, independent and variable attitude which are 4 sub-dimensions of non-functional attitudes scale explain %8.7 change of general adjustment level, %6.4 change of personal adjustment level and %9.1 change of social adjustment level.

Recognized as one of the most active and distinguished leaders in the field, clearly in the prime of his career, Willard Walter Waller held forth the happy promise and lived in the expectation of many years' useful work in the future. He analyzed the processes of personal adjustment contingent upon changes of status, such as after divorce (The Old Love and the New) or after release from the army (The Veteran Comes Back). As a sociologist Waller manifested several strong characteristics, several consistent tendencies that stamped him as a unique contributor. First of all his driving effort was always to clarify and analyze social interaction-especially on the personal, subjective, motivational level. He studied intensively, for example, the interaction in school and classroom (The Sociology of Teaching), the interaction within the family (The Family: A Dynamic Interpretation), the interaction within institutions for segregated care, and the interaction within the army.

Studies have found high discomfort issues in green buildings where occupants find it too cold during the winter and too hot during the summer. Green buildings are highly climate responsive since they are usually dependent upon natural ventilation and natural daylight. In conventional buildings, occupants are not so dependent on the building design to moderate temperature and lighting. This paper investigates occupants responses to discomfort in conventional and green buildings to better understand how they behave, and whether they behave differently. This study examines what people do when they are too hot or too cold. Three coping mechanism were tested (i) environmental adjustment, (ii) personal adjustment and (iii) psychological adjustment. Results in this paper showed that in response to being cold, occupants in green buildings engaged more in personal adjustments, less environmental adjustment, and more in psychological adjustment compared to conventional buildings. While in response to being hot, these coping mechanisms were less apparent. The paper examines what adjustments people make when they are too hot or too cold, and compares these behaviours in different building types.

But social adjustment in girls’ intelligent was more than boys’ intelligent (p

Changes that occur when entering old age requires a new kind of adjustment, that adjustments to themselves and to the environment. For the elderly who live in social institutions they require the ability to adjust to life in social institutions. In fact there are elderly people who do not have the ability to adapt in the social institutions. This study aims to determine the problems in the elderly make adjustments in social institutions. This research is descriptive. The sample of 31 people. The findings show that 1) 21.75% of elderly have problems in personal adjustment includes adjustments to the physical changes, and adjustments to the psychological condition, 2) 22.81% of elderly have problems in social adjustment includes adjustment of relationships with fellow residents, adjusting relationships with nursing board, adjustment of relationships with family, and adjustments to regulation of social institutions.

Although parents' structuring of infant sleep is complexly determined, little attention has been given to parents' marital and personal adjustment in shaping sleep arrangement choices. Linkages were examined between infant sleep arrangements at 1 and 6 months and mothers' marital adjustment, co-parenting quality, and depressive symptoms. The final study sample was composed of 149 families (53% girl infants, 86% European American). Bed sharing mothers had lower co-parenting quality, and, at 6 months, more depressive symptoms than mothers of infants in solitary sleep. One-month co-parenting quality was associated with predictable shifts in sleep arrangements from 1 to 6 months, but 1-month sleep arrangements did not predict changes in personal or co-parenting quality. Findings emphasize the need for greater attention to marital and emotional health in influencing family-level decisions about infant sleep arrangements.

La Inteligencia Emocional (IE) ha surgido en los últimos 25 años como un concepto muy relevante del ajuste emocional, el bienestar personal, el éxito en la vida y las relaciones interpersonales en diferentes contextos de la vida cotidiana.

Cognitive dissonance explains how humans strive to attain internal consistency. The theory of cognitive dissonance was proposed by Leon Festinger(1956). This particular study is aimed at studying the gender differences in cognitive dissonance. The tools used were a socio-demographic questionnaire developed by the researcher along with the DISS-R questionnaire (Cassel and Chow, 2000). The scores were analyzed with the help of a one-way ANOVA to assess for gender differences in the scores obtained on the eight different areas of dissonance assessed by the DISS-R. It was found out that females were more dissonant in the Internal and Personal areas specifically the Personal Adjustment and Health and Wellness, whereas males were more dissonant in the External and Impersonal areas especially in Schooling and Learning and Subservience/Dominance divisions. .

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a vocational enablement protocol (VEP) on need for recovery (NFR) after work as compared with usual care for employees with hearing difficulties. In a randomized controlled trial design, 136 employees with hearing impairment were randomly assigned to either the VEP or the control group. VEP is a multidisciplinary program integrating audiological and occupational care for individuals experiencing difficulties in the workplace due to hearing loss. The primary outcome measure was NFR. Secondary outcome measures were communication strategy subscales (e.g., self-acceptance and maladaptive behavior), distress, and self-efficacy. Data were collected using questionnaires at baseline and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months follow-up. No significant difference over the complete follow-up period was found between the intervention and control group for NFR. However, we observed a significant difference for one of the secondary outcomes after 12 months. “Self-acceptance” increased significantly in the VEP group, compared with the controls. The mean difference between the two groups was small, being only 0.24 (95% CI [0.04, 0.44]) on a scale of 1 to 5. The results do not support the use of VEP if the aim is to reduce NFR after work at 12 months follow-up. It may be that NFR does not adequately capture what is covered in the VEP. Although marginal, the effect on self-acceptance was significant. This is encouraging given that positive effects on self-acceptance have rarely been shown for audiological rehabilitation programs. Suggestions for further improvement of the VEP are discussed.

Bu araştırmada, eğitim kurumlarında görevli öğretmenlerin performansları üzerinde lider desteğinin ve örgütsel adalet algısının kişi-örgüt uyumu aracılığı ile etkisi tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Son yıllarda lider desteği, örgütsel adalet, iş performansı ve kişi-örgüt uyumu kavramları üzerinde araştırma ve inceleme yapılmıştır. Örgütlerin varlığını başarılı bir şekilde sürdürebilmesi için önem taşıyan bu kavramların ülkemizde de dikkate alınması üzerine, bu alanda yapılan araştırma ve yayın sayıları giderek artış göstermektedir. Ancak, lider desteği ve örgütsel adaletin iş performansına etkisinde kişi-örgüt uyumunun aracılık rolüne ilişkin çalışma sayısının arzu edilen düzeyde olmadığı açıktır. Dolayısıyla bu araştırma kendi alanı içerisinde yapılan ilk çalışmalardan biri olması yönüyle önemlidir. Bu durumun yanı sıra; yapılan bu araştırmanın sonuçları bakımından hem işletmelerde hem de eğitim sektöründe yer alan kurum ve yöneticilere önemli kaynak teşkil edeceği düşünülmektedir.Araştırma evrenini İzmir İli Selçuk İlçesi Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğüne bağlı okullarda görev yapan yaklaşık 600 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın örneklemi ise basit tesadüfî yöntem ile belirlenen 264 öğretmenden meydana gelmektedir. Yapılan araştırmada anket yönteminden faydalanılmıştır. Anketler ilk ve orta dereceli okullarda görevli yönetici ve öğretmenlere uygulanmıştır. Veriler yüz yüze anket yöntemi ile toplanmıştır.Araştırmada elde edilen veriler, SPSS ve AMOS isimli istatistik programları aracılığı ile analiz edilmiştir. Bu kapsamda, değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin tespit edilmesinde t-testi, anova testi, regresyon, korelasyon, varyans ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri ile sobel testi istatistiksel yöntemleri kullanılmıştır.Araştırma sonucunda lider desteği ve örgütsel adalet algısının kişi-örgüt uyumu aracılığı ile çalışanların iş performansını pozitif ve anlamlı olarak etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. In this study, it was tried to determine the effect of the support of the teachers on the performance of the teachers in the educational institutions and the organizational justice perception through the person-organization adjustment. In recent years, research has been conducted on the concepts of leader support, organizational justice, business performance and person-organization adaptation. The number of researches and publications made on this field is increasing on the consideration of these concepts which are important for the success of the organizations in our country. However, it is evident that the number of studies on the role of leader support and organizational justice as an intermediary for person-organization alignment under the influence of business performance is not at the desired level. Therefore, it is important that this research is one of the first studies carried out within its field. Besides this situation; It is thought that the results of this research will be an important source for the institutions and managers in both the enterprises and the education sector. The research population constitutes approximately 600 teachers who work in the schools affiliated to İzmir Selçuk District of İzmir National Education Directorate. The sample of the study is from 264 teachers determined by simple random method. The questionnaire was used in the survey. The questionnaires were administered to teachers and administrators in elementary and secondary schools. Data were collected by face-to-face survey method. The data obtained in the study were analyzed by SPSS and AMOS statistical programs. In this context, t-test, anova test, regression, correlation, variance and confirmatory factor analysis and sobel test statistical methods were used in determining relations between variables. As a result of the research, it was determined that leader support and organizational justice perceptions positively and positively affected the work performance of the employees through person-organization adjustment. 137

Objective On the basis of self-determination theory, this study investigates longitudinal associations between satisfaction and frustration mothers’ basic psychological needs (i.e., autonomy, relatedness, competence) and mothers’ postnatal depressive symptoms and early parenting behaviors. Method Participants were 214 women assessed during their pregnancy (Time 1), 4 months after delivery (Time 2), and when the child was 2 years old (Time 3). Results Results demonstrate effects of prenatal basic psychological needs (needs frustration more specifically) on postnatal depressive symptoms. In addition, general prenatal needs satisfaction and frustration predicted more relationship-specific needs satisfaction and frustration, respectively (in the mother–child relationship). In turn, postnatal relationship-specific needs satisfaction predicted more high-quality parenting when the child is 2 years old. More specifically, needs satisfaction was related to more maternal responsiveness and autonomy support. Conclusion Overall, these findings underscore the importance of psychological needs experiences for both mothers’ personal adjustment after birth and for the early mother–child relationship.

We conducted two experiments to test the impact of positive affect on social problem solving. In Experiment 1, participants induced to experience a positive (vs. neutral) affective state generated a greater number of relevant steps to solve fictitious interpersonal problems as well as more effective solutions to the problems. In Experiment 2, participants induced to experience a positive (vs. negative) affective state generated more functional solutions to their own social problems. The positive mood effects observed in Experiment 2 were moderated by dispositional optimism. Our findings have practical implications, as the extent to which individuals are able to generate effective solutions to social problems has far-reaching consequences with respect to personal adjustment and social functioning.

The purpose of this study was to extend current research to examine the relationship between parenting style combinations and adolescent emotional/behavioral outcomes to further understand affective functioning in adolescents. Previous research solely analyzed mothers, without including fathers and/or both parents. The roles of temperament and adolescent and parent gender were also examined. Participants were 12- to 18-year-old students (n = 195) in 7th to 11th grade in a rural school district in southeast Michigan. Temperament characteristics (i.e., mood, flexibility-rigidity, and eating rhythmicity) explained nearly half of the variance in adolescent outcomes. Parenting styles contributed a smaller but significant role. When both parents were authoritative, it was associated with more optimal outcomes in adolescents' personal adjustment than any other parenting style combination. Having one authoritative parent, which was expected to be a protective factor, was related to high personal adjustment for gi...

This study examined at two Australian university campuses the types of problems that prompt international students to seek counselling services. The concerns reported by ninety students fell within three broad categories; adjustment issues, academic concerns and psychosocial problems. Follow-up interviews with a subset of these students (21) were used to gain more detailed information about their personal adjustment issues and also their experience of counselling services. Counsellors were also interviewed to obtain their perspective on the adjustment and counselling experience of students. Most problems for students occurred within the first 12 months of commencing studies and for many tended to reduce in incidence thereafter, but for some students the issues and problems remained ongoing. While the findings are limited to international students at only two Australian campuses, and furthermore the sample sizes are not large, the results suggest that these students often face extreme adjustment difficulties. Moreover, it is suggested that such students tended to only access counselling services when near the point of collapse, or following academic referral. The importance of pre-departure orientation packages for prospective students, while still in their home country, might reduce the incidence of such adjustment issues.
