Life Strain, Negative Emotions, and Religious Involvement in Contemporary China

Explaining religious growth in China remains a challenge for social scientists. Research on Western nations establishes religion as a powerful resource for coping with life strain. However, China's sociopolitical context, which often treats religion as deviant, is thought to function as a deterrent to conversion. When individuals experience life strain, they respond with negative emotions. Because those who experience strain may turn to non-traditional and deviant activities, we argue that they will be less deterred by China's negative framing of religion when seeking resources for coping. Applying lagged dependent variable models to the 2012-2014 China Family Panel Study, we find that life strain is associated with increases in religious affiliation, service attendance, and salience. Further analyses show that negative emotions mediate the effects of life strain on religiosity. Our study makes a substantial contribution to multiple bodies of literature by applying a theory of deviance to the study of religion, modernization, and mental health.

The Dark Web: What Is It, How to Access It, and Why We Need to Study It

The dark web is a subsection of the deep web that conventional search engines cannot index. As an encrypted network of websites, the dark web can only be accessed using special browsers such as Tor. Tor, formerly an acronym for “The Onion Router,” is a free and open-source software intended to protect the personal privacy of its users and keep their internet activities unmonitored. While the dark web is known for both legitimate and illegitimate purposes, it remains notorious for facilitating illegal and deviant activities ranging from drug dealing to child pornography, human trafficking, arms dealing, and extremist recruitment.

Crime Prevention Strategies in Tennessee State, USA

Crime has become one of the most serious security concerns confronting many nations in the World. Crime is widespread in both rural and urban areas, but it is less prevalent in both. Hence, crime prevention strategies are key in any country. In Tennessee State, Crime has been a growing problem. Hence, the study examined the crime prevention strategies employed to combat its widespread. The study was literature based. The study found that some crime prevention strategies include using ICT, holding meetings and increasing government public participation. The importance of increasing government public participation is that criminals are within the society and, in some instances, known. It becomes easy to find criminals if society is involved in the process. Security meetings reduce deviant activities and encourage compliant behaviours of their members through effective socialization about criminal awareness. The research concluded that security meetings, the use of ICT and increasing government public participation are essential components of effective crime prevention. Leaders travelling from one location to another and raising understanding of the role of communities, government policing agencies and the community in security reduces the chances of crime. The study recommended effective strategies be employed to reduce crime in Tennessee State. There should be no use of a single strategy when combating crime. Residents in local areas should be directly involved in policing exercises. A culture of shared responsibility and decision-making, and persistent commitment from both government policing agencies and the community, is required. Through the relevant Ministry, the government should fully understand the mechanisms that create, alter, and lower the insecurity issue through security meetings. Identifying which social group is severely affected by the problem is also critical. Keywords: Crime, Prevention Strategies, Tennessee State, USA

The Conceptual Review on the Impact of Organizational Justice on Workplace Deviance and the Mediating Role of Psychological Contract Breach

The prevalence of deviant behavior such as fraud, robbery, withholding effort, hostile acts, and sexual harassment in the workplace is a major problem for organizations. For good reasons, it is highly significant for executives and researchers to avoid deviant activity in the workplace. A recent report revealed that employees are found to be more involved than customers in deviant activities at the workplace. One in every fifteen employees steals from their employer.” The study finds that 33 to 75% of all workers have participated in deviant behaviors, and as many as 42% of women have been sexually abused at work. This article aims to analyze the phenomena of workplace deviance and destruction caused by workplace deviance in the form of huge psychological and financial losses to organizations. First, we discuss the need for research on workplace deviance, especially in the collectivistic culture, by reviewing previous studies from deviance literature. Next, we present the role of organizational justice in triggering workplace deviance. Then we also propose a new mediating variable in the form of a Psychological Contract Breach between Organizational justice and Workplace deviance. This paper also contributes significantly to the dimensions/facets of Organizational Justice. The presented theoretical framework can be useful for conducting future empirical research. Finally, we present the conclusion and future research in conducting cross-national research with respect to workplace deviance.

Risky, Subversive, and Deviant? A Criminological Analysis of Guerrilla Knitting

Guerrilla knitting, otherwise known as yarn bombing, is a form of graffiti or street art that has grown in popularity and prevalence over the past decade. Whilst other forms of street art and graffiti have drawn interest from criminologists, much less has been written about the cultures of, and responses to, those who engage in knitting graffiti. Examining the phenomenon through the lens of cultural criminology, and drawing on empirical research with yarn bombers, this paper critically analyses the ways in which guerrilla knitting has been framed as a risky, subversive, and deviant activity. In doing so, the paper considers important questions about exceptionalism, the aesthetics of authority, and the commodification of deviance.

Characteristics of longer-term versus transitional NEETs in Hong Kong: implications for career support services

ABSTRACT The sociodemographic and career-related characteristics of two types of youth who are not in education, employment or training (NEETs) in Hong Kong were examined and compared: longer-term (≥5 months, n = 787) and transitional (<5 months, n = 3,939). After controlling for sociodemographic variables, multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that longer-term NEETs are more likely to be associated with risk factors such as taking a carer role, seclusion at home, involvement in deviant activities, having addiction or health problems; whereas higher educational attainment, identification of career interest and plans for future work/study/ training, and higher career adaptability appeared to be protective factors for NEETs and identifiers of transitional NEETs. Implications are drawn for research and career support services for NEETs.

Socio-psychological research of value orientations of students

The analysis of philosophical, sociological, pedagogical and psychological literature let us make a conclusion that the fundamental basis of the legal consciousness of each person is the degree of his spiritual perfection and maturity. Value and spiritual and moral prerequisites, in turn, are the basis of law, making the behavior of an individual in society expedient. The authors of the paper focus their attention on the frequent cases of delinquent behavior among young students. There is a new form of delinquent behavior, that is deviant socio-political activity. The authors of the paper see the problem of contradiction between the real state of legal consciousness of students and the lack of knowledge of the relationship of legal consciousness with individual psychological characteristics and value orientations of students. The desire to find ways to resolve this contradiction determined the purpose of the research conducted to investigate the relationship of legal consciousness with individual psychological characteristics and value orientations of Samara students who took part in unauthorized protest actions in January 2021.

Цифровая девиация как феномен современного мира

This research is devoted to the current issue of the formation of deviations on the Internet, in connection with the global digitalization taking place in the modern world. The peculiarity of this process is the fact that in virtual reality, unlike everyday reality, there are no clear laws and rules defining the norms of digital behavior, there are no criteria for deviant behavior. The process of deviant forms of behavior on the Internet, such as trolling, astroturfing, sexting, scamming, fishing, has become possible due to the anonymity on the Internet. The virtual space has thus created fertile ground for the emergence of deviant activity without fear of being held accountable. We consider the controversial issue of the impact of digitalization on personality and human behavior, provide an interpretation overview for term “deviation” from the point of view of biology, sociology, deviantology. The digital network causes the changes in humans at several levels: emotional, intellectual, physical, value, etc. These changes, in turn, generate new psychological personality traits. Behavioral changes are put forward in a special class, namely: the formation of deviant behavior in the digital network. As literature analysis on the studied issue shows, the characteristics of digital deviations are the latent nature of the manifestation, the absence of sanctions for the manifestation of deviations, the complex nature of the manifestation, etc. In addition, we provide a conditional typology of types of digital deviations by levels of human impact with such forms as “alienated in a digital crowd”, “digital dementia”, “I know everything and nothing”, etc.

Laboratory Examination in Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis

Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is derived from the word hemophagocytosis, in which macrophagesinfiltrate tissue extensively, and unspecifically phagocyte blood and bone marrow cells. The deviant activation of cytotoxicCD8+ T-cells causing the release of inflammatory cytokines is the core pathogenesis of HLH. Hemophagocyticlymphohistiocytosis is a regulatory disorder of the immune system, with clinical signs and symptoms of extremeinflammation and cytopenia, hepatitis, and severe and life-threatening central nervous system dysfunction. The name of theHLH disorder was recently proposed to be "Hyperinflammatory Lymphohistiocytosis" (also known as HLH). Enforcement ofHLH diagnosis by the Histiocyte Society based on HLH 2004 updated diagnostic criteria consists of five of the following eightdiagnostic criteria: fever, splenomegaly, cytopenia (two or more of three lineages in peripheral blood), hypertriglyceridemiaor hypofibrinogenemia, hyperferritinemia, hemophagocytes in the bone marrow/lien/lymph, the low or non-existentactivity of Natural Killer (NK) cells, increased sCD25. H-score, MH-score, and systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis(sJIA)/Macrophage Activated Syndrome (MAS) classification criteria are also used to enforce HLH diagnoses.Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is challenging to recognize and has a high mortality rate, especially in adults, rangingfrom 42 to 88%. Therefore, immediate diagnosis and therapy are essential. The introduction of HLH triggers is criticalbecause treatment is based on the underlying trigger. Cytokine storms due to Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) infectionhave significant similarities to the clinical and laboratory findings of HLH. Secondary HLH (sHLH) is suspected in severeCOVID-19 patients, so early diagnosis is potentially made based on the H-score.

Assessment of Peer Pressure and Sexual Adventurism among Adolescents in Ghana: The Moderating Role of Child-Rearing Practices

The rationale of this study was to examine the influence of peer pressure on sexual adventurism among adolescents in Ghana, and as well to explore the role of child-rearing practices in this relationship. The study covered adolescents in junior high schools in Ghana within the age range of 12 to 19 years. A sample of 525 adolescents was surveyed to participate in the research using the multistage sampling approach. The main instrument for data collection was a questionnaire. Data gathered were analysed using means and standard deviation, multivariate linear regression, and three-way interaction-moderation analysis. Child-rearing practices and peer pressure significantly and independently predicted sexual adventurism. Parental discipline acted as a significant moderator in the relationship between peer pressure and sexual adventurism. Again, only in the presence of discipline could monitoring and warmth moderate the relationship between peer pressure and sexual adventurism. Based on the findings, parents are encouraged to incorporate reasonable disciplinary measures in shaping their children’s behaviours against sexually deviant activities. Besides, guidance and counselling coordinators should plan and organize programs that centre on reducing the prevalence of peer pressure and sexual adventurism. Conclusions drawn from the study include bringing out a better understanding of the role that discipline and peer pressure play in influencing adolescents’ sexual adventurism.
