Emotional Intelligence and Executive Functions in the Prediction of Prosocial Behavior in High School Students. An InterDisciplinary Approach between Neuroscience and Education.

One of the most analyzed variables in educational research is prosocial behavior, given its relevance and its application in favor of a culture of peace, the construction of solid democratic societies and the development of social justice. For this reason, it is necessary to extend the knowledge of predictors of prosocial behavior so that they can be transferred to teaching practice. The research reported here was carried out using a quantitative methodology through a survey, based on data collection instruments, whose data were treated statistically by means of descriptive, correlational and predictive analyses. The results obtained suggest that emotional intelligence has a strong predictive capacity for prosocial behavior while executive functions show a mild-moderate predictive behavior. In the conclusions and discussion, we provide a series of arguments on some of the results obtained in contrast with previous literature, as well as incorporating limitations of the study and prospects for future research.

Assessing the Influence of School Environmental Programmes on the Environmental Attitudes and Behaviour Among Secondary School Students in Muranga County, Kenya.

Environmental degradation is a major challenge which requires appropriate strategies to reverse the situation. One of such strategies is experiential environmental education among high school students who, through change of attitudes and behavior, are able to participate in various environmental management activities. In this study the pro-environmental attitudes and behavior of high school students in Murang’a County, Kenya were examined to assess how environmental education programmes among the students affected environmental issues of waste management, water resources management, natural resources management and climate change in the schools. Nine hundred and sixty-one (961) students from nineteen (19) high schools from two sub-counties in the County was used in the study. The Likert type questionnaire and the 2-MEV Scale were used to collect the required data. The t-test statistic was applied to determine any differences between the variables. Results showed significant differences in pro-environmental attitudes and behavior with regard to solid waste management, water resources management, natural resources management. There were significant differences with regard to solid waste management, natural resources management, climate change and environmental concerns between members of Environmental Clubs and non-members. Pro-environmental attitudes and behavior were influenced by current membership of the Clubs rather than past membership. It is concluded that experiential environmental programmes improve the student’s pro-environmental attitudes and behavior hence environmental management within the schools. It is recommended that appropriate policies be formulated to enhance the implementation of school experiential environmental programmes to ensure capacity building of the learners to effectively manage environmental issues in the schools.

The Type of Substance Use Mediates the Difference in the Odds of Sexual Risk Behaviors Among Adolescents of the United States.

BackgroundAlthough the relationship between sexual risk behaviors and substance use has been established, It remains to be studied if different types of substances have differences in the odds of sexual risk behaviors. Therefore, we aimed to identify the prevalence of sexual risk behaviors in high school students of the United States (US) and study the difference in the odds of sexual risk behaviors for various substances.MethodsWe performed a retrospective cross-sectional study using Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) data of 2019 that nationally represents US high school students in grades 9-12. We identified individuals with sexual risk behaviors as participants with four or more lifetime sexual partners and who did not use a condom during the last intercourse.ResultsOut of 11,191 participants, 463 (3.9%) engaged in sexual risk behaviors. The prevalence of substance use, including anabolic steroids (11.5 vs. 1.1%), cocaine (27.2 vs. 2.0%), marijuana (87.1 vs. 34.7%), alcohol (92.4 vs. 54.3%), e-cigarette (90.3 vs. 48.0%), and traditional cigarette (62.2 vs. 21.6%) was higher in participants with sexual risk behaviors compared to participants with no sexual risk behaviors (p<0.0001 for all substances). In regression analysis, anabolic steroid use was associated with the highest odds of sexual risk behaviors (adjusted odds ratio (aOR):4.87, 95%CI: 2.48-9.57; p<0.0001) followed by cocaine (aOR:3.80, 1.80-8.00; p=0.001), marijuana (aOR:3.36, 1.64-6.89; p<0.0001), alcohol (aOR:2.41, 1.05-5.55; p=0.039), electronic vapor products (2.05, 1.004-4.19; p=0.049), and traditional cigarette use (aOR:1.58, 1.10-2.28; p=0.016). We did not find a statistically significant increase in the odds of sexual risk behaviors for the rest of the substances.ConclusionAlthough the prevalence of sexual risk behaviors is low, the prevalence of substance use is significantly higher in participants with sexual risk behaviors. Among the different types of substances, anabolic steroid use has the highest odds of sexual risk behaviors. Therefore, clinicians should remain vigilant for anabolic steroid use when screening adolescents for substance use. Further large-scale randomized studies are needed to study the effects of anabolic steroids on sexual risk behaviors.

Trauma and self-harming behaviors in high school students: The mediating role of identity formation

IntroductionThis study investigated the link between trauma and self-harming behaviors in South African high school students, and examined the mediating role of identity formation. Traumatic experiences have been commonly associated with self-harming behaviors in adolescents. However, research addressing this association in non-Western countries is limited. MethodsA total of 552 South African high school students aged 13–21 (60.4% female; Mage = 16 years) were included in the study. Students completed self-report questionnaires on traumatic experiences, identity formation, and self-harming behaviors (disturbed eating behaviors and suicidal thoughts and behaviors). ResultsStructural equation modelling indicated that the association between traumatic experiences and self-harming behaviors was partially mediated by identity formation. Traumatic experiences were associated with more identity diffusion, bulimia, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Identity diffusion, in turn, was associated with more drive for thinness, bulimia, body dissatisfaction, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Identity consolidation was positively associated with drive for thinness and negatively with body dissatisfaction and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. No moderation effects by gender or age were found. ConclusionsTraumatic experiences were associated with higher levels of identity diffusion, which, in turn, were associated with more self-harming behaviors in South African high school students. These findings suggest the importance of focusing on identity diffusion in prevention and intervention programs targeting self-harming behaviors.

Effects of a Behavior Management Strategy, CW-FIT, on High School Student and Teacher Behavior

AbstractChallenging classroom behavior can interfere with learning. Fortunately known, positive, and proactive approaches to behavior management can improve student responding. Class-Wide Function-related Intervention Teams (CW-FIT) have led to improvement in student behavior across elementary and middle school contexts. However, little is known of the impact of the intervention on high school student behavior. This study evaluated CW-FIT’s utility in improving high school student and high school teacher behavior in a co-taught learning environment. A single-subject withdrawal design was used to evaluate improvements in on-task behavior for 14 high school students in one co-taught classroom. The impact on praise and reprimand statements of two high school teachers was also assessed. The findings showed improvement to student and teacher behavior and sustainability of the intervention. Further, teachers and students expressed satisfaction with the intervention and teachers maintained high levels of implementation fidelity. Limitations of the evaluation and areas for future research are presented.

Knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviors toward coronavirus disease-19: A study among high school students in Bangkok

Background: Breaking the chain of infection is the process that is controlled by the infection control and contact tracing to inhibit infections of pathogens in more people which can be done by stopping the cycle of chain of infection. To prevent coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 from further spreading, breaking the chain of infection is required. In addition, in the chain of infection, the last key point is the factors that affect the behavior in disease transmission prevention of COVID-19. Research has shown that good knowledge and a positive attitude have contributed to a behavior that would prevent this disease. One of the most important actions that need to be taken to break the chain of infection is to set a healthy behavior in each individual. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about COVID-19 among high school students in Bangkok. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted using a questionnaire. A total of 177 students participated. COVID-19-related knowledge, attitudes toward COVID-19, and preventive behaviors were assessed. Differences between outcomes and sociodemographic were analyzed through independent t-test and the ANOVA. Preventive behaviors were analyzed by a generalized linear model. Results: Students revealed good knowledge about COVID-19, correctly answering 5.22 (SD = 1.57) questions in a total of 7, good attitudes toward preventive behaviors in the presence of rules 9.06 (SD = 2.12) and good attitudes toward preventive behaviors without the presence of rules 9.48 (SD = 2.36), and good preventive behavior 33.91 (SD = 6.06), question in a total of 47. There are statistically significant positive correlations shown: between attitudes toward preventive behaviors with the presence of rules and preventive behaviors (Exp (B) = 0.521, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.0–0.99, P < 0.05) and between attitude toward preventive behavior without the presence of rules and preventive behaviors (Exp(B) = 0.584, 95% CI: 0.14–1.02, P < 0.05. Conclusion: This study revealed high knowledge about COVID-19, positive attitudes toward preventive behaviors in the presence and absence of rules, and high preventive behaviors in high school students of International Community School, Bangkok, Thailand. Furthermore, it indicates that there is a causal relationship between attitudes toward COVID-19 in the absence of rules and preventive behaviors. Thus, attitudes toward COVID-19 in the absence of rules are a major predictive factor of having preventive behaviors. Therefore, to promote preventive behaviors, accurate knowledge about COVID-19 should be given consistently by the school. To build up the same positive attitudes in the absence of rules as in this research, teachers and staff should show a sense of trust to students since this may form preventive behaviors in students.

Psychological structure of personal resources of coping behavior of high school students

The article is devoted to the study of the structure of personal resources of coping behavior in high school students with low and medium levels of stress resistance. The study involved 70 high school students aged 16-17 years (М = 17,1 SD = 1,1 (44,2% men)). The study was carried out on the basis of the Kalmyk ethnocultural gymnasium named after I. Zaya-Pandita and Trinity Gymnasium named after B. B. Gorodovikov. The study used the following methods: «Test of self-assessment of stress tolerance» (S. Cowhen, G. Willianson), «Test for optimism» (C. Scheyer, M. Carver, adaptation of O.A. Sychev), methodology «Scale of general self-efficacy» (R. Schwarzer, M. Erusalema, adaptation of V. Romek), the method «Brief scale of self-control» (J. Tangney, R. Baumeister, A. L. Boone, adaptation of T.O. Gordeeva, E.N. Osina, D.D. Suchkova, T.Yu. Ivanova, O.A. Sycheva, V.V. Bobrova), «Questionnaire of self-organization of activity» (E.Yu. Mandrikova), «Methods for diagnosing reflexivity» (A.V. Karpov, V.V. Ponomareva). The methods of mathematical and statistical processing of empirical data were: correlation analysis (r-Spearman), structural - psychological analysis according to generalized indicators of the index of organization, integrativity and differentiation of the structure (A.V. Karpov), the express-x2method for comparing matrices and structuralograms for their «homogeneity-heterogeneity» (A.V. Karpov). It was found that the basic components that ensure the structural integration of the system of personal resources of coping behavior in the subgroup of high school students with an average level of stress resistance are: optimism; purposefulness; situational reflection; self-control. Research prospects are aimed at further studying the factors and predictors of the personal psychological resources of schoolchildren in overcoming difficult life situations and making recommendations to school psychologists on the development of programs aimed at developing the skills of reflection, self-regulation and self-control in stressful situations in students.

Assertiveness, self-esteem and parental influence (fathers) as factors in high-risk behavior of high school students: The case of Montenegro

This paper examines the significance of the influence that assertiveness, self-esteem, locus of control, and parental behavior have on the forms of risky behaviors among high-school students in Montenegro. The research is based on data obtained from a wider-ranging study, entitled ?Children and Addiction Disorders in Montenegro? (2019). The paper takes the position that assertiveness, self-esteem and locus of control are social skills acquired through observation, and that they carry predictive potential for certain forms of risky behaviors. A survey was conducted on a representative sample of 625 high school students from 25 high schools in Montenegro, with the aim of testing the propensity for risky behaviors. The research also examined the influence that parents have on high school students replicating risky behaviors. Fourteen forms of risky behaviors among high school students were operationalized, and three dependent variables were selected to measure the frequency of occurrence of risky behaviors: soft drugs, hard drugs and betting/gambling. The research gathered data on socio-demographic characteristics of high school students, with the ultimate objective of defining control variables in the procedure of testing the hypotheses. To that end, the paper applies binominal (logistic) regression analysis. The results of the research indicate that assertiveness and self-esteem are strong protective mechanisms in the context of risky behaviors among high school students. The effect of the locus of control was recorded, but at a significantly lower lever than the aforementioned protective factors. Additionally, the research indicates that there is a strong impact of parental behavior (that of the father) on the behavior of high school students.

Procena rizika za nastanak dijabetesa tip 2 uslovljena navikama u ishrani kod adolescenata

This paper will present the results of a study on dietary habits in adolescents. The high school or adolescent era is a time of great physical and psychological changes, which cause instability and oscillations in the mood and behavior of high school students. Results obtained by interviewing secondary school students about eating habits and results obtained using a standardized questionnaire for the risk of type 2 diabetes were analyzed using a reliable statistical tool IBM SPSS Statistical, which offers a range of reliable analyzes and statistical tests. Previous research has shown that for each person with type 2 diabetes, one person finds out who does not know it. Discovery of pre-diabetes, in new potential patients, is necessary at the earliest age, when a number of factors affect lifestyles, such as irregular nutrition and obesity, physical inactivity, stress, and others become important for the development of this disease. Detection of risk levels in potential patients is important for both the individual and public health, and everyday clinical practice. After determining the degree of risk for a particular sample, a set of measures for a particular adolescent population will be recommended, so that the disease does not occur, or its onset will move for a later period of life.
