Results revealed the teachers’ self-evaluation can have a positive impact on the students’ self-esteem. Future recommendations and researches were discussed.

Bullying is a phenomenon occurring all over the world. Previous research shows that youthswho are being physically punished by their parents are at higher risk for being involved inbullying. There are four groups when it comes to bullying, the neutrals, bullies, victims, andbully-victims. A limitation of previous research was that no one has examined why youthswho are being exposed to physical punishment by their parents often become a part ofbullying. Our focus was on the four bullying groups of youths in the ages 13 to 15. Weproposed that in order to understand how parents’ use of physical punishment against theiryouths is connected with being a bully or a victim at school, we need to take the personalitytraits self-esteem and impulsivity under consideration. The results showed that when parentsused physical punishment against their youths and the youths had certain personality traits,the risk for being a part of bullying increased. In conclusion, the youths were at higher risk ofbeing victims of bullying if they had low self-esteem, they were at higher risk of being bulliesif they were impulsive, and they were at higher risk of being bully-victims if they were bothimpulsive and had low self-esteem, meaning that we need to investigate further differentpersonality traits and their effect on youths bullying involvement in school., Mobbning är ett fenomen som inträffar över hela världen. Tidigare forskning visar att närungdomar blir fysiskt bestraffade av sina föräldrar ökar risken för inblandning i mobbning.Det finns fyra grupper när det kommer till mobbning, de neutrala, mobbare, offer och bullyvictims.En svaghet med tidigare forskning var att ingen har undersökt hur inblandning imobbning ser ut för dem som blir utsatta för fysisk bestraffning av sina föräldrar. Vårt fokusvar på de fyra grupperna inom mobbning för ungdomar mellan åldrarna 13 till 15. Viföreslår att för att förstå hur föräldrars fysiska bestraffning på sina ungdomar hängersamman med att vara mobbare eller offer i skolan, behöver man ta hänsyn till ungdomarnassjälvkänsla och impulsivitet. Resultaten visade att om föräldrar slår sina ungdomar samt omungdomarna besitter en viss typ av personlighetsdrag, ökar risken för att de blir inblandade imobbning. Sammanfattningsvis, ungdomarna riskerade att bli offer för mobbning om de hadedåligt självförtroende, de riskerade att bli mobbare om de var impulsiva, och de riskerade attbli bully-victims om de samtidigt hade dåligt självförtroende och var impulsiva. Detta innebäratt vi behöver fortsätta undersöka olika personlighetsdrag och deras påverkan på ungdomarsinblandning inom mobbning i skolan.

Text in Turkish ; Abstract: Turkish and English Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 49-53) xi, 60 leaves Amaç: DEHB olan bireyler yaşadıkları klinik sorunlar sebebiyle düşük benlik saygısına sahip olabilmektedir. Ayrıca bu bireylerde DEHB’ ye sıklıkla internet bağımlılığı eşlik edebilmektedir. Bu çalışma ile Dikkat Eksikliği Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu tanılı ergenlerde görülen internet bağımlılığının bu gençlerdeki benlik saygısı ile olan ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Yöntem: Bu çalışmanın araştırma grubunu DEHB tanılı 12-18 yaş arasında olan 32 ergen ve kontrol grubunu ise daha önce Dikkat Eksikliği ve Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu dahil herhangi bir psikiyatrik tanı almamış 22 gönüllü ergen oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada veriler Okul Çağı Çocukları İçin Duygulanım Bozuklukları ve Şizofreni Görüşme Çizelgesi-Şimdi ve Yaşam Boyu Şekli Türkçe Uyarlaması (ÇDŞG-ŞY-T) , İnternet Bağımlılık Ölçeği (BAPİNT), Conners Ana Baba Dereceleme Ölçeği-Yenilenmiş Uzun Formu ve Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Yapılan analizler sonucunda Dikkat Eksikliği Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu olan ergenlerde, kontrol grubuna kıyasla daha düşük benlik saygısı olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırma grubu internet bağımlılığı tanısı alanlar ve almayanlar şeklinde ikiye ayrılmış ve benlik saygısı yönünden aralarında fark olup olmadığına bakılmıştır. DEHB grubunda internet bağımlılığı tanısı almış ergenler, aynı gruptaki internet bağımlılığı tanısı almayan ergenler ile karşılaştırıldığında, benlik saygısı açısından aralarındaki fark anlamlı bulunmamıştır. Araştırma grubu, kontrol grubu ile internet bağımlılığı şiddeti açısından kıyaslandığında da aralarında anlamlı bir fark olduğu görülmüştür. Fakat araştırma grubu içerisinde internet bağımlılığı tanısı alan grup ile kontrol grubu bağımlılık şiddeti açısından kıyaslandığında aralarında anlamlı bir farka ulaşılamamıştır. Ayrıca internet bağımlılığı tanısı alan grup içinde bir analiz yapıldığında internet bağımlılığı ve benlik saygısı arasında bir korelasyona ulaşılamamıştır. Buna karşın, internet bağımlılığı tanısı almayan DEHB grubu ve kontrol grubunun analizinde, her iki grupta da internet kullanım şiddeti arttıkça benlik saygısının düştüğü görülmüştür. Sonuç: Bu bulgular doğrultusunda, DEHB tanılı bireylerde daha düşük benlik saygısının görüldüğü, fakat internet bağımlılık oranının benlik saygısı üzerinde tek başına etkili olmadığı, internet kullanım miktarının kontrol grubunda da beklenenin üzerinde bulunduğu görülmüştür. Objective: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorder seen in childhood and adolescence. These patients often have low levels of self-esteem depending on the clinical problems they live. In addition, internet addiction is highly comorbid in adolescents diagnosed with ADHD. We aimed to examine the relationship between the internet addiction in these adolescents and their self-esteem levels. Methods: The study group included 32 adolescents (aged between 12 and 18) diagnosed with ADHD while the control group included 22 adolescents (aged between 12 and 18) who never met any psychiatric diagnosis before including ADHD . ADHD subscale of Kiddie-Sads-Present and Lifetime Version, the Internet Addiction Scale, the Conners Parenting Rating Scale - Renewed Long Form and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used for the assessment. Result: We found low self-esteem levels in adolescents with ADHD when compared to healthy controls. The research group is divided into to two as the ones diagnosed with internet addiction and the ones who did not get the diagnosis and we could not find any difference depending on the self-esteem levels between these two groups. Otherwise, the severity of internet addiction was not significantly different between the adolescents diagnosed with ADHD and internet addiction, and controls. This might be the result of high levels of internet use that was an unexpected result in the control group.Also we could not find any significant correlation between the severity of internet addiction and self-esteem levels in the group diagnosed with both ADHD and internet addiction. Contrary to this, the severity of internet addiction increased as the levels of self-esteem decreased in the control group and the adolescents with ADHD who did not get the diagnosis of internet addiction. Conclusion: It was seen that lower self-esteem was seen in ADHD-diagnosed groups. But the internet addiction rate was not effective on self-esteem by itselves. Also, there were found that the amount of internet usage was higher than ecpected in the control group.

Background Understanding motivation to change is a key issue in both the assessment and the treatment of eating disorders. Therefore, sound instruments assessing this construct are of great help to clinicians. Accordingly, the present study analysed the psychometric properties of the Anorexia Nervosa Stages of Change Questionnaire (ANSOCQ), including its relation to coping style and self-esteem. Methods N = 92 adolescents referred to an eating disorders outpatient clinic meeting criteria for anorexia nervosa gave written informed consent to participate in this study and completed the ANSOCQ, the Eating Disorder Inventory, the Eating Attitudes Test, the Body Image Questionnaire, two questionnaires measuring Self-Related Cognitions and the Coping Across Situations Questionnaire. After a treatment period of nine months, clinical anorexia nervosa diagnosis and the body mass index were re-assessed. In addition to exploratory factor analysis, correlational analysis was used to test for the convergent validity of the ANSOCQ and logistic regression analysis was used to test its predictive validity. Results The ANSOCQ had good psychometric properties. Factor analysis yielded two meaningful factors labelled as ‘weight gain and control’ and ‘attitudes and feelings’. Internal consistencies of the two factors amounted to Cronbach’s alpha = .87 and .76, respectively. Significant correlations with other scales measuring eating disorder psychopathology were indicative of meaningful construct validity. Higher motivation to change was related to higher self-esteem and a more active coping style. Higher (positive) ANSOCQ total scores predicted remission of anorexia nervosa after nine months of treatment. A higher score on ‘attitudes and feelings’ was a protective factor against drop-out from intervention. Conclusions The ANSOCQ is a clinically useful instrument for measuring motivation to change in adolescents with AN. Two factorial dimensions explain most of the variation. Self-esteem and coping style are relevant additional constructs for the understanding of the motivation to change in anorexia nervosa. Trial registration NCT02828956.

“A definition of language,” viewed the British cultural critic, Raymond Williams, “is always, implicitly or explicitly, a definition of human beings in the world” (1977, p. 21). (cited in Kumaravadivelu, 2006).Languages have two essential features which differentiate it from signals: productivity and structural complexity From the 4,000 to 5,000 languages which are alive, English is by far the most widely used one. Though it doesn’t have an important function in national or social life in some parts of the world it is taught in schools as a foreign language often widely. In Spain, Brazil and Japan, for example, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese are the standard type of communication and instruction: the ordinary citizen does not need English or any other foreign language to live his daily life or even for social or professional development. But it may be seen that the role of English within a nation’s daily life is influenced by geographical, historical, cultural and political factors and the role of English must have an effect on both the way it is taught and the resulting impact on the daily life and personal development.

Evidence from developed country data suggests that cognitive and non-cognitive skills contribute to improved labor market outcomes. This paper tests this hypothesis in a developing country by using an individual-level data set from Peru that incorporates modules to measure cognitive and non-cognitive skills. The paper estimates a structural latent model with unobserved heterogeneity to capture full ability rather than just measured skill. It also applies standard ordinary least squares techniques for comparison. The analysis confirms that cognitive and non-cognitive skills are positively correlated with a range of labor market outcomes in Peru. In particular, cognitive skills positively correlate with wages and the probability of being a wage worker, white-collar, and formal worker, with verbal fluency and numeric ability playing particularly strong roles. The results are robust to methodology. The patterns are less uniform for non-cognitive skills. For instance, perseverance of effort (grit) emerges strongly for most outcomes regardless of methodology. However, plasticity—an aggregation of openness to experience and emotional stability—is only correlated with employment, and only when using the structural latent model. The ordinary least squares method also finds that the disaggregated non-cognitive skills of kindness, cooperation, emotional stability, and openness to experience emerge significantly, mostly for the wage estimates. The different results derived from the ordinary least squares and the structural model with latent skills suggest strong measurement bias in most non-cognitive skills measurement. These findings, although only correlational because of the use of a single cross-section, suggest that recent efforts by the Peruvian government to incorporate non-cognitive skill development into the school curriculum are justified.

Introduction: In recent years, the increase in obesity worldwide has drawn more attention to its undesirable effects on the people’s physical and psychological health. Studies done on the subject have produced contradictory results on the relation between obesity and self-esteem. The reason could be that individuals with higher self-esteem may have chosen a better lifestyle because they had a higher respect for themselves. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between self-esteem and BMI and some lifestyle factors in employed women.Materials and Methods: This was a case–control study conducted on 125 obese women 25-45 years of age, with BMI≥30 and 125 non- obese employed women from affiliated hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Dietary intake and physical activity, as components of lifestyle, were assessed by semi-quantitative and MET questionnaires, respectively. Self-esteem was assessed by Rosenberg questionnaire.Results: There was a significant difference between the two groups in level of education, economic status, physical activity (p

The subjects of the study who were selected based on purposive sampling method consisted of 50 patients with advanced chronic renal disease treated with hemodialysis. Before the intervention, two questionnaires were completed by patients. There was no intervention in the control group and the patients received only routine care in the hospital. In the experimental group, the hemodialysis patients received 5 consecutive one-hour training sessions by the researcher. Then the Rosenberg scale was filled out by the patients 2 month later. Result: According to the results, Paired t-test showed a significant difference between the mean self-esteem score in both groups before and after intervention. Conclusion: Increasing the knowledge and awareness of hemodialysis patients must constitute a cornerstone of therapy and an integral part of nursing responsibilities. Nurses should educate the patients about self-care behaviors and remind them of the dangerous complications of abandoning these.

The current study analyzes the relationship between the apparent teacher’s Self-efficacy and attitudes towards integrating technology into classroom teaching, self- evaluation reports and computer performance results. Pre-post measurement of the Computer Technology Integration Survey (CTIS) (Wang et al,2004) was used to determine the confidence level with of 60 science teachers and 12 mixed-major teachers enrolled at the Lebanese University, Faculty of Education in the academic year 2011-2012. Pre –post measurement on teachers’ attitudes towards using technology was examined using an opened and a closed questionnaire. Teachers’ performance was measured by means of their Activeinspire projects results using active boards after their third practice of training in computer skills and Activeinspire program. To accumulate data on teachers’ self-report, this study uses Robert Reasoner's five components: feeling of security, feeling of belonging, feeling of identity, feeling of goal, and self-actualization which teachers used to rate themselves (Reasoner,1983). The study acknowledged probable impacts of computer training skills on teachers ‘self-evaluation report, effectiveness of computer technology skills, and evaluations of self-efficacy attitudes toward technology integration. Pearson correlation revealed a strong relationship r = 0.99 between the perceived self-efficacy towards technology incorporation and teachers’ self-evaluation report. Also, the findings of this research revealed that 82.7% of teachers earned high computer technology scores on their Activeinspire projects and 33.3% received excellent grades on computer performance test. Recommendations and potential research were discussed.Keywords: Self- esteem; Activeinspire pre-service training; Perceived self -efficacy; Computer technology performance.

El tratamiento quirúrgico del cáncer de mama puede alterar el aspecto físico de las pacientes y producirles importantes secuelas psicológicas. Para comprobar si el nivel de satisfacción con el resultado estético, así como la autoestima o la imagen corporal de estas pacientes difería según el tipo de cirugía realizada (mastectomía unilateral o reconstrucción mamaria), se estudiaron un total de 72 pacientes. Para ello, se emplearon una Encuesta Psicosocial, la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg (EAR), el Cuestionario de Calidad de Vida de la EORTC (QLQ-BR23) y el Test de Medición del Grado de Satisfacción Corporal. En general, las pacientes reconstruidas mostraron una mayor satisfacción estética, así como una mayor autoestima y un menor deterioro de su imagen corporal. The surgical treatment of breast cancer can change patients' physical appearance and lead to important physical sequelae. Therefore, in order to ascertain whether the level of satisfaction with the aesthetic outcome, as well as with regard to self-esteem or the body image in these patients, differs depending on the kind of surgery undergone (unilateral mastectomy or breast reconstruction), a total of 72 patients were studied. To this end, a Psychosocial Survey, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem (RSE) Scale, the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-BR23), and the Test for the Measurement of Body Satisfaction were used. In general, patients who underwent reconstruction showed a higher degree of aesthetic satisfaction, as well as greater self-esteem and a lower degree of dissatisfaction regarding their body image.

The various groups were summarized and are then recognized in the results. Results: Various factors have been important for recovery. One outstanding factor was people in their surroundings and people they met in treatment such as therapist, doctors and psychologists. These were persons who contributed to their courage to leave the eating disorders and helped them to better self-esteem, self-respect and hope for the future. Other important factors included the re- finding of their interests and to be their own selves in social contexts. Another important factor was to read literature about eating disorders, and biographies about people who have recovered from eating disorders. The conclusion is that the most important factor in recovering from an eating disorder is a person´s environment and its support.

The pre-school is seen by many as the place where children get equipped for the future and the challenges there of. One of the most important aims according of the curriculum for Swedish preschools is that children get the opportunity, in interaction with the pedagogues, to develop their identity and to feel secure and satisfied with themself. Although, in the curriculum of the Swedish preschool system there is a comprehensive focus on the children’s competencies and learning, the importance that the children feel secure is not that prominent. Consequently a paradox occurs between the focus on children’s competencies and their need for care. The focus of this study is to investigate how this effects the pedagogues work with the children’s self-esteem. The study investigates the pedagogues views on self-esteem and how they work to strengthen and develop the childrens self-esteem. A qualitative method was used, based on interviews and observations, in order to get a verified picture of the pedagogues views on the above questions. The interviews took place in a pre-school in the south part of Stockholm. The study is based on the perspective sociology of childhood. The result shows that the pedagogues child perspective is based on the ’competent child’ where the development of the children’s self-esteem developed with confirmation of the childrens competencies and performances. The childrens self-esteem is according to the pedagogues a concept they take for granted as a ’silent perspective’, instead of something outspoken and something they discuss between one another. In conclusion, to work with children's self-esteem and to make the work as meaningful as possible, it is important that the pedagogues are aware that there are several ways to it’s development both an inner subjective and outer, which they display. The result shows that much focus is placed on developing the outer performance-based self-esteem. As a consequence little focus is laid on the emotional acknowledgment necessary for the development of the subjective or the inner self-esteem.

Tyrimo rezultatai. Darbo eigoje išryškėjo, jog asmens vertingumą lemia ne tik jo vertybinė orientacija, bet gebėjimas įžvelgti savyje, kartu ir kitame žmoguje, asmenį, ne tik suvokti, bet aktyviai, atsakingai kurti save ir plėtoti tarpusavio santykius. Reikia teigti ne vien objektyvią tiesą, pagal fiziologinius, instrumentinius ar kitus matus, bet pastebėti žmogiškosios prigimties aktualizacijos prasmę bei jos vystymosi galimybes atskirose asmenyse, pastebėti dabar integralaus „Aš” ir „Tu” esatį bei ją suvokus brandinti. Asmens vertingumą apibūdina ne jo geri įpročiai, bet sąmoningi ir aktualūs veiksmai skirti asmeniui. Prasmingiau būtų kalbėti apie įgūdžius. Taip pat asmens vertingumą labiau apibūdina ne patys veiksmai, bet jų darymo vidinė motyvacija, grįsta savęs bei kito įvertinimu. Taigi tikslinant hipotezę, galima suformuluoti tezę: Asmens vertingumas yra asmens savikūra remiantis žmogiškosios prigimties duotybe, vykdoma sąmoningai, sąveikaujant su kitais asmenimis bei nukreipta į asmenį. Ši tezė suformuluota analizuojant E. S. Brightman‘o, M. Buber��io, E. Mounier ir J. Lacroix poziciją asmens atžvilgiu. Jos pagrindu tirti psichologiniai bei sociologiniai asmens vertingumo įsisąmoninimo ir aktualizacijos ypatumai. Apžvelgiant A.H. Maslow’o, C. R. Rogers’o, G. W. Allport’o, E. Fromm’o, V. E.

The theme of self-developing, conscious actualisation of man’s value without loss of human nature is a matter of great relevance of modern-day problems, such as lack of opportunity and ability to live humanly, loneliness, every kind of national, cultural conflict, war etc. In this work the essence and features of a person’s value, and the sense of the process of this consciousness and actualisation are analysed. In this study God’s presence is not denied, but the religious question is not touched. To reach the aim, the work starts with the foundation of the theme on philosophical arguments. E. S. Brightman’s, M. Buber’s, E. Mounier’s, J. Lacroix’s explanations of the person are investigated and a thesis is formulated: The value of person is his self - creation based on human nature, pursued consciously, in relationship with others and always oriented towards the person. Secondly, the evaluation of psychological humanistic approach to the person was analysed. Emphasis was placed upon the individual continuous effort of attention to a person, moral relationship, connection of understanding, memory, fantasy with a man’s value, exact action and at the same time unlimited love and maturity. Self- esteem is grounded on objective evaluation of person and his actualisation together with others. The third part is dedicated to discussion about social issues (political... [to full text]
