The Influence of Campus Environment on the Development of Self-Identity of Adolescent Students

This study aims to analyze the influence of the campus environment on the development of self-identity in adolescent students. Adolescence is a crucial period in the formation of self-identity, and the campus environment as one of the main social contexts plays an important role in this process. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method involving 200 adolescent students at one of the state universities in Indonesia. Data were collected through a questionnaire that measured various aspects of the campus environment, including social interactions, extracurricular activities, academic support, and campus facilities, and how these factors contribute to the development of student self-identity. The results of the data analysis show that the campus environment has a significant influence on the development of student self-identity. Positive social interactions, participation in extracurricular activities, and adequate academic support have been shown to contribute significantly to increasing students' self-confidence, self-understanding, and sense of social connectedness. Adequate campus facilities also support the process of exploring self-identity by providing space for students to develop their interests and talents. However, this study also found that some students faced difficulties in adjusting to the new campus environment, especially those from less supportive socio-economic backgrounds.

Narrative therapy focusing on bodily sensations: a case of enhancing treatment proactivity of adolescent anorexia nervosa

ABSTRACT Lack of treatment proactivity significantly affects the treatment outcomes for adolescent anorexia nervosa in China. This research illustrates a case where narrative therapy, focusing on bodily sensations, was employed for a Chinese adolescent with anorexia nervosa characterised by low treatment proactivity. The study analyses the case using a merged methodological frameworks of case study and narrative inquiry. This research delineates the client’s transformation through three primary themes: Detachment from Sensations of Dirtiness, Positive Development of Self-identity, and Enhancing Treatment Proactivity (two subthemes: Interpretation and Reversal of the ‘Dirtiness’ Bodily Sensations and Reconstruction of the Social Network). Finally, it analyses the relationships among various themes and constructs a process diagram to illustrate the entire transformation journey of the client. This study suggests that enhancing treatment proactivity could be linked to changes in understanding of bodily sensations and in self-narratives.

The Development of Self-Identity During Emerging Adulthood and Relevant Factors

This review paper examined the relationship between self-cognition development and related factors during the emerging adulthood phase. Extensive literature, including studies, surveys, and experiments, was analyzed to understand the influence of various factors on self-cognition development. In the research, it was found that self-cognition development has significant connections with daily identity dynamics, family and peer attachment, stress, and psychopathological distress. Two main factors, namely identity confusion and mental health issues, show a positive correlation with the development of self-cognition. As self-identity confusion deepens, individuals may increasingly avoid emotional challenges, potentially increasing the risk of internet addiction and negatively impacting their self-identity development. While emerging adult college students shape their online identities, their choices are not solely influenced by their self-perception but also by their emotional well-being and the social environment in which they exist. Furthermore, unique cultural backgrounds also play a crucial role in the development of self-identity during emerging adulthood. These research findings hold critical implications for the development of adolescent self-cognition and mental health interventions. Future research should delve deeper into the self-cognition development of individuals in emerging adulthood in different regions and the associated factors, as well as the effectiveness of various intervention strategies in diverse contexts.

Storytelling - Intervention method for children affected by war trauma

The war in Ukraine is the largest humanitarian crisis that Europe has faced in recent years, and our country, Romania, was directly involved in managing the situation created by the refuge of millions of Ukrainians (in particular, mothers and children) who left the country at the beginning of the armed conflict. This type of conflict has had a strong negative impact on children, especially Ukrainian children, and the thus generated trauma can affect the development of self-identity, of spirituality or of the world perspective due to its influence on cognitive processes involving the development of trust, intimacy, control, security, and power. Through our case study we capture the psychological effects of war on children, and the technique „ storytelling” as an effective method of intervention in treating war trauma in children.

Revisiting labeling theory: empirical test of informal labeling process

ABSTRACT Despite the revitalization of labeling theory in explaining deviant behavior, the theoretical validity of the proposition regarding the informal labeling process has been largely neglected. To examine the proposed informal labeling process within the labeling theory, longitudinal path analyses were conducted using structural equation modeling, drawing on a nationally representative sample of adolescents in South Korea. The results revealed that engagement in delinquent behavior at Wave 1 had a significant impact on how others informally labeled the individual at Wave 2. Also, informal labeling by others at Wave 2 significantly influenced the development of deviant self-identity at Wave 3, and this deviant self-identity increased the likelihood of engaging in subsequent delinquent behavior at Wave 4. Namely, the hypothesized informal labeling process in labeling theory was supported: informal labeling based on previous delinquent behavior → development of deviant self-identity → engaging in subsequent delinquent behavior among adolescents. The findings from this study highlight the theoretical importance of the informal labeling process in explaining delinquent behavior among adolescents from a longitudinal perspective. The research implications are discussed.

Uncovering Self-Identity of Adolescent Students

Adolescence is a period of transition from children to adults. Transitional status often makes adolescent students confused in determining which choices are right for themselves. In fact, they need to know themselves better, their potential and what they like and dislike, and to make plans for their future. Therefore, to avoid confusion in their selves, self-identity is needed. The purpose of this study is to describe aspects of self-identity of adolescent students at SMA Negeri 4 Padang. The data were collected through a self-identity questionnaire given to a total of 33 students. This study used purposive sampling technique. The data were analyzed quantitatively and described comprehensively. This study found that the mean score of adolescent students’ self-identity was 133.52 or 72.07% of the ideal score. In addition, 9.09% students had very high self-identity; 36.36% students had high self-identity; 24.24 students had moderate self-identity; 30.30 students had low self-identity; and none had very low self-identity. The development of self-identity of adolescent students must continue to be improved in order to support the development of their learning.

Increasing Attitudes of Biological Determinism in Youth

This paper investigates changes in attitudes towards gender and sexual fluidity and binaries, gender roles, and reproductive restrictions among different age cohorts. There is a historical trend towards increasingly progressive attitudes amongst different age cohorts, whereby the youngest generation is typically the most progressive. Currently, there is a regression in progressive attitudes among youth with increased support for biological determinism. 
 
 Supported by research from academic sources, this paper discusses how individual attitudes are formed and change between generations. Focusing on increasing attitudes supporting biological determinism, this paper investigates the consequences dominant social attitudes have on self-identity formation. Through linking biological determinism to reproductive rights, this paper discusses the importance of bodily autonomy for identity formation.
 
 The feminist interpretations of data presented in this paper hope to invoke consideration about the possible consequences of an increasing trend toward regressive attitudes. Overall, this paper alludes to where internalized misogyny comes from and how it can hinder self-identity development. Despite youth being in an unprecedented time of access to information and knowledge, they have not reported the expected results of increasingly progressive attitudes towards gender and sex. This paper calls the reader to re-examine the direction of our social discourse, attitudes towards gender and sex, and the expectation for increasingly progressive attitudes.

Reinventing selves and connections through community volunteering: how care leavers and their supporters create a space for agency and self-work

Young people leaving out-of-home care experience higher levels of emotional, social, educational and vocational disadvantage when compared with peers from stable home-care environments. Care leavers’ educational trajectories may be interrupted, their development of self-identity during transition through adolescence disturbed, and their social and emotional development disrupted due to their diminished accumulation of social and cultural capital. This article presents a re-analysis of the qualitative data derived from a mixed-method study of the experience of young care leavers engaged with a community-based volunteering project in the United Kingdom. We describe how young care leavers developed self-efficacy through volunteering and show how care leavers create a space for agency and self-work, negotiate and cultivate identities independent from statutory supports, and situate themselves within wider relational and social contexts. Implications for future research, policy and practice with younger people leaving statutory care are explored.

LGBTQIA2S+ Well-Being within Academic Communities: The State of the Science

It is essential that academic communities achieve and maintain an inclusive campus climate for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and two-spirit plus (LGBTQIA2S+) faculty, staff, and students. Campus climate can influence faculty and student attrition, self-identity development of LGBTQIA2S+ students, and exacerbate documented health disparities. Academic settings have a challenging history when examining the relationship with LGBTQIA2S+ individuals. Academicians were the originators of pathologizing identities and constructing deviant distinctions in text and publications. Campus climate sets the tone for the success of LGBTQIA2S+ members of academic communities, and research continues to emphasize the most influential factors that directly contribute to that success. Visibility of LGBTQIA2S+ faculty, staff, and students allow for both formal and informal social networks and encourages social and academic integration. Proximity to LGBTQIA2S+ faculty, staff, and students encourages both integration and visibility. Policies that protect and affirm LGBTQIA2S+ individuals are an essential component to visibility as they provide formal protection such as zero tolerance discrimination policies. Progress towards creating healthy academic communities for LGBTQIA2S+ individuals follows larger societal trends of acceptance, and progress continues today through knowledge generation and activism. Commitment to and recognition of the factors that foster healthy academic communities for LGBTQIA2S+ individuals ensures that the discovery and dissemination of knowledge will continue through a more inclusive lens.

EFL Learning and Self-identity Development: A Case Study

This 2-year qualitative study examined the EFL learning and self-identity development of three college students from a university in Beijing, China. Data collected included interview transcripts, field notes of observations, participants’ Internet postings, participants’ academic works, and so on. Giddens’ theory of reflexivity of self-identity was adopted as a theoretical framework. Norton’s theory of investment was also used in the case analysis. Results revealed that EFL learners constructed multiple identities in their multiple investments, which represented their ambivalent desires in learning and using English; EFL learners could monitor their learning process reflexively and exercise agency in drawing on different resources selectively to construct their ideal identities; unintended consequences were produced by learners’ acts, which in turn served as conditions of their further acts.

Psychological problems of gender and ethnicity in the relationship process of moldovian teenage immigrants from Italy

In addition to family and school, the peer group is a crucial element for defining personal identity during the transition period from childhood to adulthood. Through this, the adolescent has the opportunity to be outside the safe family environment, in a process of autonomy and diversification, and to experience an equal type of socialization, capable of fulfilling a multiplicity of functions, which takes place on several levels. At the individual level, friendships provide the context conducive to the growth and development of self and personal identity, through forms of emotional involvement and sharing of meanings; at the relational level - encourages the expansion of individual interests, the enrichment of knowledge through the set of own and others' expectations, in this way forming their own opinions; at the social level - provides protection against fears related to the changes that take place during this period, allowing the realization of a sense of security and trust, of fundamental importance, thus compensating for the need for recognition, support and validation. The work represents an analysis of the phenomenon of relationality through the lens of gender and ethnicity among Moldovan teenagers in Italy.

The Influence of Social Media Platforms on Self-Identity In the New Media Environment: The Case of TikTok and Instagram

With the advent of the digital age comes a plethora of new media platforms through which individuals can exhibit themselves, offering a fresh angle from which to shape the formation of individual identities. However, new media has both beneficial and detrimental consequences on the self-identity development of individuals. This research will examine the positive and negative effects of new media platforms on self-identity construction, investigate the causes and characteristics of the self-identity crisis caused by inappropriate use of new media, and offer concrete recommendations for addressing relevant issues by combining the cases of TikTok and Instagram.

Bilingual Proficiency Development and Translanguaging Practices of Emergent Korean-English Bilingual Children in Korea

With the rise of globalization, transmigration becomes more commonplace. Globalization is often accompanied by multiculturalism that constitutes an important fabric in societies and countries around the world. This has been the case in South Korea. Multiculturalism has resulted in many shifts and challenges within the Korean family dynamics. Multilingualism is an important characteristic that uniquely identifies many multicultural families. Regardless of the unique traits of each multicultural family, what seems to be the common denominator within these families of emergent bilingual children is that translanguaging is practiced for various purposes both inside and outside the home environment. Through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and narrative frames, this qualitative case study explores Anglophone fathers’ perceptions of their bilingual children’s language proficiency, the translanguaging practices of Korean-English bilingual families in Korea, and the impact of translanguaging practices on bilingual children’s self-identity development. Three conclusions can be drawn based on the results: Parents of emergent bilingual children generally value high proficiency in both languages, translanguaging is often practiced for communicative purposes, and translanguaging has an important effect on emergent bilinguals’ self-identity development. Implications are drawn regarding the importance and necessity of translanguaging practices both inside and outside of the home environment.

Growth and Development in Children with Rheumatic Diseases: Maintaining a Balance between Drugs and Disease Activity

Rheumatic diseases are autoimmune disorders that affect the bones, skin, and muscles, and they contribute to a significant burden of chronic illnesses in children throughout the world, the most common of them being juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Symptoms begin at a young age and last throughout maximum growth potential in these children. Long-term consequences usually follow delayed diagnosis and contribute to increasing disease burden, joint damage, deformity, and delayed growth and development. Children with systemic arthritis with uncontrolled disease, and/or prolonged use of corticosteroids have an increased risk of growth impairment. Uveitis associated with JIA has a significant impact on academic competence and social development. On the other hand, newer diseases such as autoinflammatory diseases not only pose a challenge in diagnosis but also in management due to the lack of easy availability of targeted therapy. Rheumatic disease in adolescents has more pronounced effects on the development of self-identity, self-confidence, and sexual development. Therefore, there is a need to establish psychosocial and educational interventions targeted at improving social support, resolving insecurities, and building confidence among these adolescents. Drugs used in the treatment of rheumatic illnesses such as glucocorticoids, disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and biologics have both short-term and long-term effects on growth and overall development. A treat-to-target approach and use of various disease activity monitoring tools are efforts in the direction of standardizing treatment and achieving and maintaining prolonged disease remission. Finally in order to provide a holistic care, we need to ease the access to pediatric rheumatologists, increase the awareness of these diseases among the medical fraternity and community, build financial and social systems to support both patients and their families. In this article, we highlight the various aspects of rheumatic diseases in childhood and their possible effects on the overall growth and development in children.

Problems of the formation of the industrial potential of Pridnestrovie (1917 - 1940).

The article is devoted to the analysis of the problems of the formation of the industry of Pridnestrovie in the period after the Revolution of 1917 and before the creation of the MSSR in August 1940. The purpose of the study is to characterize the actions of local authorities to restore and establish industrial enterprises on the territory of the MASSR, as well as to identify the main directions of industrial development of the region during this period, the features of the formation of industrial potential, the analysis of attracted resources, comparison with the industry of the occupied part of Moldova - Bessarabia. The study used such methods of historical research as retrospective analysis, comparative analysis, as well as a systematic approach and the method of expert assessments. As a result of the research, the author came to the following conclusion: the industry of modern Pridnestrovie is characterized by a broad industry structure due to the titanic work on its creation in the era when the territory of the modern PMR was part of the MASSR/ MSSR, as well as the needs of the internal market of the USSR in the interwar period. Its foundation was laid under the leadership of the Communist Party and thanks to the help of the fraternal peoples of the USSR in 1920-1930. Against the background of the impoverished Bessarabia, the MASSR, relying on the historically developed specialization of the region, created a developed industry in a relatively short time, and also formed a working class of many thousands. During the same period in Bessarabia, as a result of a sharp decline in the number of industrial enterprises, the working class also declined, the agrarian character of the region became even more pronounced. The economy of Bessarabia during the years of occupation by Boyar Romania was brought to a complete decline and got a chance to recover only after the creation of the MSSR. After the reunification of both banks of the Dniester, the industrial potential of the MASSR became the basis for the development of the united Soviet Moldavia. According to the results of the study, the assessment of the process of formation and development of industrial enterprises of the region, the specifics of their functioning, helped to better understand the process of formation and development of self-identity of the region.

Lived experiences of adolescents with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.

To explore the lived experiences of adolescents with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) to understand: the ways in which their challenges influence daily functioning; and the personal assets and external resources that facilitate participation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four adolescents (one identified as non-binary, one male, and two female) with FASD aged 13 to 15 years. A photo elicitation approach facilitated participation, whereby adolescents first took photographs of their daily activities and environments. Photographs were subsequently used to generate discussion during the interviews. Data analysis involved using interpretative phenomenological analysis to generate themes. Two superordinate themes and three subthemes relating to participants' lived experiences emerged from the interviews: (1) 'anxiety challenges participation' (subthemes [i] 'need for external support'; [ii] 'the power of positive relationships'; and [iii] 'talents and interests facilitate participation') and (2) 'importance of a unique identity'. Findings illustrated the barriers adolescents experienced regarding their daily functioning and independence. Additionally, incorporating strengths into daily activities appeared to reduce anxiety and improve participation, and adolescents desired for their unique characteristics to be recognized and appreciated. To support adolescents with FASD, service providers should consider incorporating strengths-based approaches and an explicit focus on facilitating the development of positive self-identities. Anxiety often prevented adolescents' independent participation in social activities, requiring caregiver assistance. Strengths (e.g. talents, positive relationships) facilitated adolescents' participation and reduced their anxiety. Clinicians and researchers should consider strengths-based approaches to interventions targeting participation. Interventions for adolescents with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder could focus on developing a positive self-identity.
