Behavior Scale for Household Waste Recycling: A Validity and Reliability Study

Waste is creating serious environmental problems today, unlike ever before in history. Research has shown that waste recycling has not reached the desired level. Despite educational institutions providing waste and recycling training using various methods and techniques from a young age, the results are not satisfactory. The objective of this study is to develop a scale to assess the behaviors of middle school students regarding household waste recycling. Both exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to validate the scale. The sample consisted of 392 7th and 8th-grade middle school students who had already received education on household waste recycling. The data included 177 students for the EFA and 215 students for the CFA from two separate sample groups. EFA revealed that the measurement tool could be grouped into three factors. The CFA results demonstrated that the data were within acceptable values, indicating that the model was supported by the data. The final version of the scale comprised 16 items. The first seven items were categorized under "Participation in Project," 6 items under "Care," and the remaining three items under "Reminder" based on factor names and expert opinions. The Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficients for the three factors ranged from 0.641 to 0.814. The Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient for the 16-item scale was determined as 0.862. It is believed that this developed scale will assist in assessing the impact of various methods used for household waste recycling on student behavior.

Hygiene Sanitation Snack Selling and Snack Consumption Behavior of Middle School Students

The purpose of this research was to examine how educating middle school students about cleanliness and sanitation, enforcing laws on vendors, and implementing school policies affects the students' views and attitudes regarding buying snacks. Methods such as surveys, evaluations of vendors, and discussions in small groups were all part of the overall strategy. While teaching about proper cleanliness and sanitation is crucial, the research found that it may not be enough to get kids to rethink their snack-buying habits on its own. Assessments of vendors also found that many were not in complete compliance with applicable hygiene and sanitation laws, potentially endangering the health of customers. Middle school children may benefit greatly from school regulations that make healthy snack selections more accessible and restrict access to less healthy ones, according to the research. Researchers also found that vendors operating in close proximity to schools with stringent standards were more likely to follow those laws' guidelines for cleanliness and sanitation. Based on these results, it seems that school regulations may be a useful tool for fostering a culture of healthy snacking and assuring the security of school food. This research may help shape public health and food safety regulations and instructional programs that target middle school children and their snacking habits.

중학생의 자유학년제 체육활동 재미가 친구관계 및 친사회적 행동에 미치는 영향

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the causal relationship between the fun, friendship, and pro-social behavior of middle school students participating in free-grade sports activities.BR Method: 397 samples of middle school students who participated in free-grade arts and sports activities were gathered. After completing the questionnaires using the self-administered questionnaire method, 337 valid samples were obtained, excluding 60 questionnaires judged to the inappropriate due to missing or biased answers. The data was processed using the program “SSPS 23.0” to conduct a questing factorial analysis and credibility analysis. The significance level was set at α=.05. In addition, Varimax, an orthogonal rotation method, was performed to confirm the single dimensionality of each component, and the Cronbach’s α value was checked to verify the reliability among variables.BR Results: The results of this study are as follows. 1) Interpersonal relationships, which are sub-factors of fun, were found to have a significant effect on all sub-factors, such as friendliness, self-exposure, and competence. Daily escape was found to have a significant effect on friendliness. 2) Interpersonal relationships, which are sub-factors of fun, were found to have a significant effect on all sub-factors, such as helping, sharing, comfort, and cooperation. Daily escape was found to have a significant effect on helping, physical strength/health, and winning/competition. 3) Competence, a sub-factor of friendship, was found to have a significant effect on all sub-factors, such as giving help, sharing, comfort, and cooperation. Self-exposure was found to have a significant effect on giving help and cooperation.BR Conclusion: In summary, the results of this study indicate that friendship and prosocial behavior improve when the fun of physical activity increases during the free school year. Furthermore, a significant effect is confirmed between friendship and prosocial behavior.

Promoting Effects of the Exercise Behavioral Ecological Model on Physical Activity Behaviors of Students.

Objectives: In this study, we explored the promoting effects of the Exercise Behavioral Ecological Model on the physical activity behaviors of middle school students, and relevant risk factors for physical inactivity. Methods: A total of 291 middle school students (junior and senior high school students) were enrolled as the research participants. The sedentary behavior of middle school students was assessed using the Adolescent Sedentary Behavior Scale. We used the Exercise Behavioral Ecological Model to influence the exercise behaviors of middle school students from the perspectives of environment, physiology, and psychology. Then the independent risk factors for physical inactivity behaviors of middle school students were analyzed by means of multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The change strategy, positive effect on decision-making balance, and self- efficacy scores were higher and the negative effect on decision-making balance score was lower than those before intervention (p<.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis denoted that grade (senior high school students), sedentary time (> 4 hours), daily TV watching time (>2 hours) and change stage (pre-contemplation stage) were associated risk factors for physical inactivity among middle school students (p <.05). Conclusions: The Exercise Behavioral Ecological Model can facilitate physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior.

Parental, Teacher and Peer Effects on the Social Behaviors of Chinese Adolescents: A Structural Equation Modeling Analysis.

Adolescent behavior is closely related to academic and long-term personal development, and adolescents are vulnerable to the influences from people around them. This study aimed to analyze the factors and mechanisms that influence the behavior of adolescents. It examines the impact of family, teachers, and peers on adolescent prosocial behavior and misconduct. Data were obtained from the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS) follow-up data (2014-2015 school year) and 7835 middle school student participants were used for analysis. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to explore the influence and mechanisms of family, teachers, and peers on the development of adolescent social behavior. The findings showed that parental relationships, parental discipline, teacher supervision, and positive peer behavior were positively associated with adolescent prosocial behaviors and reduced the incidence of delinquent behaviors, while frequent home-school contact was associated with misconduct (all p < 0.01). These results remained significant after controlling for gender, residence, only-child status, family financial situation, and paternal education. Significant others in an adolescent's life play multiple essential roles in forming and developing adolescent behavior and in directly influencing them. To guide the prosocial behaviors of middle school students and reduce delinquent behavior, we should build harmonious parent-child, peer, and teacher-student relationships, teach according to their aptitudes, pay attention to particular groups and strengthen psychological health education to develop their self-esteem and self-confidence.

Research on the cyberloafing levels of middle school students

The aim of this study was to examine the cyberloafing behaviors of middle school students during the lesson or while studying.

For this research; which was modelled with explanatory sequential mixed pattern, one of the mixed methods, 355 middle school students were selected through the convenient sampling method that is one of the purposive sampling methods. 24 students were interviewed for the qualitative part of the study. Quantitative data were collected via Personal Information Form, Cyberloafing Activities Scale; and qualitative data were collected via Semi-Structured İnterview Form. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 program and content analysis. When the findings were examined, it was observed that the cyberloafing levels of middle school students were low. However, it was determined that students perform moderate cyberloafing in the "accessing content" and "sharing" sub-dimensions within the scope of the sub-dimensions of cyberloafing. It was observed that the cyberloafing behaviors of the students vary significantly in terms of their age, gender, and grade level. It was observed that middle school students mostly watch videos, listen to music, download applications, texting friends, etc., and perform cyberloafing on music websites, TV series websites, movie websites, YouTube, Instagram, and social media. In order to decrease the cyberloafing behaviors of middle school students, various suggestions were made, including the cooperation of parents and teachers.

Premarital Sexual Behavior in Middle School Students: Family Conditions and Information Sources

Premarital sexual behavior is a teenage problem that gets a lot of attention globally. This study aims to determine premarital sexual behavior in adolescents in terms of family conditions and sources of sexuality information. Family conditions can be seen from several indicators, including based on caregivers, primary caregivers, place of residence and family integrity. The researcher developed a scale based on sexual behavior, specifically touching, kissing, making out (petting), and having sex (coitus). The respondents of this study were teenagers in Sikka Regency, totaling 348 people with an age range of 12–18 years. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. This study found that premarital sexual behavior in adolescents in Sikka Regency was enough high at 82%. Other findings show that the highest premarital sexual behavior in adolescents occurs in adolescents who are cared for by grandparents, while the main caregivers who are most at risk are those whose children are cared for by other families, living in boarding houses with orphaned conditions. Another condition is that teenagers who are most vulnerable to sexual behavior are teenagers who get sexual information from the media.

Influence factors associated with health risk behaviors of middle school students in the poverty area of China: An observational study.

We aim to investigate the status and influence factors of health risk behaviors among middle school students and explore the relationship between social support, family care, and the health risk behaviors.The study was conducted in 3 middle schools in the Fan county located in the Puyang city. Independent measures were applied to assess adolescent health risk behaviors, perceive social support, and family care. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the main factors that affect adolescent health risk behaviors.The total scores of health risk behaviors were 53.87 ± 9.97, and all kinds of health risk behaviors were very common. The highest score was health-compromising (2.45 ± 0.43), and the lowest score was unprotected sex behaviors (1.07 ± 0.28). Multiple regression analysis showed that sex (P < .001), grade (P < .001), parent relationships (P < .001), father’s occupation (P = .035), mother’s education level (P = .011), social support (P < .001), affection (P < .001), and growth (P = .003) were the main factors of health risk behaviors, accounting for 25.3%.The health risk behaviors among middle school students in Fan county should attract the attention of education administration, schools, and parent due to the varied influencing factors. Related interventions should be conducted to reduce the severity and frequency of adolescent health risk behaviors and protect the health and growth of adolescents. In order to better analyze the health risk behaviors of middle school students, we will incorporate more influencing factors and carry out further causal analysis in the future.

The F&V promotion program was executed in the intervention group for a period of 24 weeks. ResultsIt was found in the 6th and 12th months after the intervention that the daily number of portions of fruits (p<.01) and vegetables (p<.01) consumed by the students in the intervention group was significantly more compared to the control group. The perception of the pros of F&V consumption and self-efficacy in the intervention group were higher than in the controls (p<.01). ConclusionsThe school-based F&V consumption promotion program was effective in increasing the number of portions of fruits and vegetables students consumed and in improving their behaviors in this regard. Application to practiceThe study indicates that the interventions described may be recommended to school nurses for use in their efforts to increase levels of F&V consumption.

중학생의 자해행동에 영향을 미치는 요인

This study examines the effects of irrational beliefs, dysfunctional anger expressions, suicide accidents and cognitive emotional control on self-harm behaviors in middle school students and to help change middle school students' irrational beliefs. As a result of examining the structural relationship model, it was confirmed that irrational beliefs of middle school students increased self-harm behavior, but the effects of dysfunctional anger expression and suicide accidents on self-harm behaviors could be affected by adaptive, maladaptive and cognitive emotional control. Adaptive cognitive emotion control increases self-harm behavior by increasing the positive effects on dysfunctional anger and suicidal thoughts, and adaptive cognitive emotional control positively affects dysfunctional anger expression, suicidal thoughts and self-harm Negative effects on behavior lower suicidal thoughts and reduce self-harm behavior. These results indicate that adaptive cognitive emotion regulation reduces the negative effects on self-harm behavior.&#x0D;

Relationship between emotional intelligence trait anger and aggressive behavior of middle school students with childhood psychological abuse

Objective To explore the intrinsic mechanism of emotional intelligence and trait anger in the association between childhood psychological abuse and aggressive behavior among middle school students, and to provide a theoretical basis for intervention of aggressive behaviors. Methods By using the multi-stage stratified random sampling method, 2 458 middle school students in Guizhou Province were selected, and group tests were carried out using psychological abuse scale, attack behavior scale, emotional intelligence scale and characteristic anger scale. Results Agressive behavior, trait anger and emotional intelligence differed significantly by gender ( t = 2.19, 5.12, –2.34, P <0.05), and there were significant differences in aggressive behavior, psychological abuse, emotional intelligence and trait anger among middle school students of different student origins by residence ( t = –18.77, –6.04, 9.10, –9.94, P <0.05). Childhood psychological abuse ( r = 0.41), temperamental trait anger ( r = 0.52) and reactive trait anger ( r = 0.49) were significantly positively correlated with aggressive behavior ( P <0.05). Emotional intelligence was significantly negatively correlated with aggressive behavior ( r = –0.33, P <0.05). The test of multiple mediation effects showed that emotional intelligence, temperamental trait anger and reactive trait anger played multiple mediation roles between psychological abuse and aggressive behavior in childhood. Conclusion Childhood psychological abuse could not only directly affect the aggressive behavior of middle school students, but also further affect the aggressive behavior through emotional intelligence and trait anger. Emotional intelligence and idiosyncratic anger are important internal mechanisms by which childhood psychological abuse affects aggressive behavior. 【摘要】 目的 探讨中学生情绪智力与特质愤怒在儿童期心理虐待及攻击性行为之间的内在作用机制, 为维护中学生身 心健康, 对其攻击性行为进行干预提供理论依据。 方法 采用多阶段分层随机抽样方法, 选取贵州省2 458名中学生, 采 用心理虐待量表、攻击性行为量表、情绪智力量表、特质愤怒量表进行团体施测。 结果 不同性别学生攻击性行为、特质愤 怒及情绪智力得分差异均有统计学意义（ t 值分别为2.19,5.12, –2.34'值均<0.05), 不同生源地中学生攻击性行为、心理 虐待、情绪智力及特质愤怒差异均有统计学意义（t值分别为-18.77, –6.04,9.10, –9.94'值均<0.05);儿童期心理虐待（ r = 0.41)、气质型特质愤怒（ r = 0.52)及反应型特质愤怒（ r = 0.49)与攻击性行为均呈正相关( P 值均<0.05);情绪智力与攻击 性行为呈负相关( r =–0.33, P <0.05);多重中介效应检验表明, 情绪智力、气质型特质愤怒及反应型特质愤怒在儿童期心理 虐待与攻击性行为间起多重中介作用。 结论 儿童期心理虐待不仅能直接影响中学生攻击性行为, 还能通过情绪智力与 特质愤怒进一步影响攻击性行为。情绪智力与特质愤怒是儿童期心理虐待影响攻击性行为重要的内部机制。
